1696 Hungarian situation 1

"There is no result in reform in the parliament. At this time, as the Prime Minister, I think you should stand up and persuade the old people in the parliament to recognize the situation and give me enough rights. Now, Hungary has reached the most critical moment, and we must act, otherwise, what awaits us will be a catastrophe." At Prime Minister Tissa's residence, Earl Oberni, the leader of the Hungarian Independence Party, said sadly.

Many problems in the world can be attributed to money. Just two days ago, the Hungarian Parliament held an emergency meeting. The main topic of the meeting was that the government asked the parliament to pass new emergency funds to deal with the current financial difficulties of Hungary. To be clearer, it is how to ensure the normal operation of the Hungarian government and the fight against the Romanians in the southern Transylvania region. By the way, there is another side, that is, how to ensure that the civilians in Budapest have enough food and fuel this winter!

However, the result of this meeting was very bad. The Hungarian government had exhausted its energy in succession of wars. Since Prime Minister Tisa rejected the request of Emperor Austria, the Hungarian government could not obtain the central government's financial appropriations. Although various material exchanges have not been cut off, they must be bought with real money. Under many aspects, the Hungarian government's finances have reached the brink of collapse. At this time, if Prime Minister Tisa wants to raise funds through the parliament, he can only forcefully divide the interests from the nobles, the big bourgeoisie and the landlords through a bill!

This plan could not be carried out from the beginning, and the nobles were unwilling to give up the land in their hands. Their political privileges were the most important barrier to guarantee their interests. The bourgeois radicals led by Yasi Oscar expressed their willingness to provide part of the financial support, but the premise was that the parliament and government must be reformed, and the bourgeoisie should have greater rights and higher status. The latter even proposed that they should form a cabinet to lead the government! In this way, the battle for rights between the aristocrats and the bourgeoisie became more and more intense in the parliament, which not only made Prime Minister Tissa's plan unable to be realized, but also caused more serious rifts in the Hungarian parliament!

Historically, the fundamental reason why the bourgeoisie led by Hungarian bourgeois leader Caroli Mihai was able to come to power was that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was exhausted, but now their advantages were not obvious. Although the Hungarian government was extremely weak, Austria was still strong and was still trading with Hungary. The landlords and great nobles had enough hard currency and materials in their hands. They could use this money to raise a group of armed forces that worked for them, and at the same time obtain everything they needed from Austria, from the most basic bread and oats to machine guns and cannons for war!

Because of Hungary's national conditions, the great nobles and the great bourgeoisie were originally mutually infiltrated, without distinction between each other. Therefore, the so-called bourgeois radicals are just the small and medium-sized bourgeoisie and very limited in strength. Therefore, the nobles led by the Little Earl Andrach still have enough confidence to face the bourgeois radicals. If we want to talk about the advantages of the latter, it is that they have a higher reputation among industrial workers and citizens, and they also have a certain influence in some armies.

"If Hungary chooses to compromise at this time, will it be forgiven by His Majesty the Emperor?" Prime Minister Tisa turned around and said to Earl Obernie sitting opposite him.

"This is impossible! This means that the Kingdom of Hungary will lose Slovakia, Croatia and German gathering areas! Even if we can obtain part of Romanian territory after the war, it will definitely not be worth the loss, because these areas are an integral part of the great "Saint Isterwan Crown Territory", which has been like this from ancient times to the present! This result is unacceptable to any Hungarian!" said Count Oberni.

"Haha, part of the great 'Crown Territory of Saint Istvan'?" Prime Minister Tisa chuckled. Some young people didn't know the situation. As the top leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, how could he not know how some territories came from? The Austro-Hungarian Empire began in 1867, and the Croatia-Slavoni Kingdom was incorporated into Hungary in 1881. This cannot be described as "since ancient times"?

To be honest, as a Hungarian nationalist, Prime Minister Tissa always wants to make the glory of the Hungarian Kingdom more and more brilliant, but as a politician, he also knows what it means to have to bow his head under the roof. Judging from the current situation, these three places have been lost or destined to be lost. At this time, it is meaningless to continue to worry about these things. Even now, Austria has given these places back to Hungary and is still useless because the Hungarian government has no ability to maintain the system!

"The sword of Vienna has been raised, so there is absolutely no possibility of letting go. Submission or destruction, we must always choose a better result." Prime Minister Tisa did not explain the current situation to Earl Oberni as he used to. He was tired of it, and he didn't even know whether his choice was correct, so he needed to let the other party make his own decision.

"Winter has arrived, and the military confrontation in Transylvania is still continuing. It is consuming the vitality of the kingdom every moment. The food and fuel in Budapest are not enough, and it can only last for another month at most. If the problem cannot be solved within a month, then the events of 1848 will be reproduced in this winter, and this time it will be more devastating! All the nobles and landlords will be liquidated. You and I cannot escape." Prime Minister Tisa closed his eyes after he said that. He needs to be quiet now.

"Haha, will all the nobles and landlords be liquidated?" Earl Oberni sneered in his heart when he looked at the Hungarian Prime Minister who was already exhausted. However, although the Earl did not agree with Prime Minister Tisa's statement, at this time, the Independent Party still needs Prime Minister Tisa to stand at the front, and even as a symbol, it can gather a considerable number of people's strength.

"At this moment, we can ask the parliament to grant the government the right to enter a state of emergency! We must tell everyone with practical actions who is the master of Hungary! Those bourgeois radicals and those Romanians all need to be targeted! They conspire to subvert the national cornerstone of Hungary for thousands of years." Earl Oberni said.

"You are so bold! Can you think of this method?" Prime Minister Tisa opened his eyes again.

"If a group of people is destined to sacrifice, then those radicals and Romanians are undoubtedly the best choice." Earl Oberney said calmly.
