Chapter 1700 The British in Budapest 1
"Mr. William, please follow me closely. The situation has been very uneasy recently, so we must be careful." A Hungarian said to William Eimmond Einside in a windbreaker.
"This is just the darkness before dawn. The efforts of our two sides and the help of the British Empire will completely get Hungary out of the Austrian slave owners pressing on them. An independent and free Hungary will surely rise in Central Europe." William was not dissatisfied with the dark environment and the scattered ground around him. He quickly followed the former into an alley. He still had a lot to do today.
When the war began, William was a member of the General Staff of the British Expeditionary Force. Just two months ago, he was ordered to go to Hungary through Italy to provide assistance to the British allies in Hungary. So William and his colleagues came to Budapest with a large amount of gold and silver to buy and delude the people who could use the British Empire. Now, he could feel that the date of the final launch was very close!
"This city is entering a twilight." William looked at the most dazzling city in Hungary before the war. Now, the city can only maintain its most basic operation. Winter is coming, and there is a lack of food and food here, and most of the municipal functions have been lost. Most people struggle to survive here. Dissatisfaction and anger have accumulated again. Soon, the accumulated resentment will eventually ignite the entire Budapest and even Hungary. William's purpose is just to make the fire bigger!
As for establishing a true bourgeois regime and letting Hungary's glory shine on the entire Europe? Anyway, William himself did not believe that Hungary, which was about to collapse, still has the ability to resist the Austrian army. Moreover, even if he took a step back, the Allies won and Hungary was really independent. Britain would never allow the Central European Hungary with an area of 300,000 square kilometers! Some of his areas will inevitably be distributed to Serbia and Romania, and these younger brothers who are following the Allies. After all, as thugs, they all need to be paid!
Finally, William came to a bungalow where he saw the bourgeois peace leader Caroli Mihay. The latter seemed to have arrived for a while. In one corner of the room was a heating stove, and on the wall was a huge map of Budapest. There were various symbols and notes on it. On the table was a huge sand table, and in the corner there were some documents, and there were some people around, and in the next room there seemed to be the sound of telegraphs and the sound of the engine.
"Welcome to my command, here we will take the first step to change the whole of Hungary!" Caroli opened his arms to express his welcome to William.
"For the new Hungary!" William also welcomed him enthusiastically. At least on the surface, the two sides were very intimate, but everyone knew in their hearts that they were just using each other.
"First of all, I feel that you and the country behind you have given the help of the Hungarian people. The funds and weapons you provide are what we need most now. They will become the cornerstone of building a new Hungary. However, judging from the current situation, these are not enough. We need to bribe more officers and provide enough weapons to our soldiers. You must know that this time we are facing the families and classes that have ruled Hungary for hundreds of years. Although they are already corrupt, they are still a strong opponent." Caroli said.
"Our aid was delivered through the Italians, but it took time, and this passage was not absolutely safe. Croatia has gradually been controlled by Austria, and our route has reached a precarious level. If Vienna knows this, the consequences will be unimaginable." William said.
"But what we lack the most is time. The nobles are already accumulating strength. They buy weapons from Austria and even Germany. The war between the two sides is about to break out, and our strength is growing at a weaker rate than each other. This is an extremely unfavorable thing. I think your country does not want our common cause to be destroyed like this, right?" Caroli's words revealed a strong anxiety.
"Mr. Caroli, how did you and your party consider the last suggestion made by the British Empire? After your party took power, immediately declare independence and declared its withdrawal from the Allies and joined the Allies." William said suddenly.
"A independent and complete Hungary is the ultimate goal of our struggle, but joining the Allies is unwilling to agree at the moment, because it is tantamount to pushing Hungary into a fire pit. Hungary now cannot resist the casual blow from Germany or Austria!" Caroli showed his anger and dissatisfaction with this request without any concealment.
"The forces of Germany and Austria have been scattered into battlefields everywhere. They are not able to launch a large-scale offensive against Hungary, which has 300,000 square kilometers of land. Moreover, if we don't join us, who will still be a friend of Hungary in this world?" William asked back.
"Haha, how long can your country's army in Asia Minor last?" Caroli suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current topic.
"Is this... related to what we are currently discussing?" William said with a frown and dissatisfied.
"Of course it's relevant. After the Bavarian Legion defeated the French Legion commanded by Xia Fei, they did not choose to rest as some people thought, but went south and cut off the retreat of the British Expeditionary Force. Now, more than 100,000 Commonwealth troops and Japan are trapped under the city of Ankara. So, let me tell me, if there are major changes in Hungary, what will the Bavarian Legion do?" Caroli said mercilessly.
"Even if they cannot encircle and annihilate the British Expeditionary Force, they will definitely draw some of their strength to go north. There are no need for many people. Just two divisions are enough to crush either of us. Because both us and those nobles and men can mobilize very little power! Our only chance of winning is to act quickly now, then control the political situation in Hungary, and at the same time maintain a reasonable relationship with Germany and Austria as much as possible! Therefore, it is impossible for your government to join the Allies." Caroli said that there is no room for maneuver on this issue!
