"That is to say, until now, the Hungarian nobles and the bourgeoisie decided to use force to resolve their differences?" After reading the report sent by the servant, Emperor Franz whispered to himself.

"So Mary, what do you think about this?" Emperor Franz turned around and asked. Since he decided to train his daughter to become the queen of the empire, he had to learn to deal with various complicated things. Now, he wanted to see what Princess Mary really thought.

"Everything goes as we plan. The competition within the Hungarian Empire has reached its last moment. This competition will exhaust their last strength. By that time, it is time for us to take action. Now, we should consolidate and stabilize the areas we have obtained, and concentrate our troops and materials, and be ready to intervene in Hungary's internal affairs at any time. I personally feel that neither Earl Obernie nor the MP of Asia are the ones who can cooperate with us." Princess Mary thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Emperor Fritz asked with interest.

"Because, they all have their own political parties and have a certain foundation in Hungary. What we need is a submissive Hungary, not a guy who can cause trouble for Vienna," said Princess Mary.

"So, who in the whole of Hungary can be our friend?" Emperor Franz continued, asking, with a meaning of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"Prince Tisa." The princess said without hesitation: "Because he is unwilling to let Hungary enter a state of emergency, Prime Minister Tisa and Earl Obernie and others have already had rifts. He is a rational person and will try to avoid using violent means to solve the problem. This will deepen the rift between him and the Independent Party. Without the support of the political party, Prime Minister Tisa, whose family background is very limited, has very limited influence within Hungary. If he wants to continue to rule, he can only rely on us. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, he is still a relatively capable person. Hungary needs such a person after the turmoil!"

"A very good idea, Ruprecht means that too." Emperor Franz nodded and said. "Of course, I need to add one more thing, that is, this battle that took place in Budapest should last as long as possible. We must maintain a balance between the two sides. This turmoil, neither Count Oberney nor Caroli should gain an overwhelming advantage. We need them to exhaust their last strength."

"Father, what should we do about Hungary's handling of the problem after the war? I mean, if Hungary stayed in the empire, how should we divide the territory?" asked Princess Mary.

"The Vojvodina region, which is mainly Slovakia, Serbs, and the areas where Germans are concentrated will be divided from Hungary's territory. Transylvania will still be Hungarian's territory. In addition, the territory that the Hungarian Kingdom should have obtained from Romania will still be compensated to them in accordance with the previous agreement." King Franz thought for a while and said.

"This is equivalent to delivering at least one third of the Central European bread basket to the Hungarians?" asked Princess Mary. Romania was known to have a rich grain production in Europe at that time, and according to the current situation, one-third of the region will be included in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Yes, for the Hungarians, we cannot just take but not give. And don't you think that within a system, there are two huge and relatively hostile nations that are good for the central government? At least it is very good at this stage." Emperor Franz said with a smile.

"Haha, if that's the case, the total number of Romanians in the new Hungarian Kingdom will have a leap." Princess Mary chuckled.

Ruprecht once calculated the issue of this population. In history, the total population of Hungary was about 20 million, of which less than half of the Hungarian national population was temporarily calculated based on 10 million. Then, if the plan of the Austrian Emperor, what is the Romanian population in the new Hungarian Kingdom? There is no direct data, but it can be calculated through some history. For example, in history, the total population of the Romanian Kingdom was 7.5 million. If one-third of the territory was incorporated into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even if one-third of the population came in, it would be about 2.5 million. Considering that the number of people in the Romanian Kingdom is as high as 92%, then there are at least 2.3 million Romanians among these 2.5 million people.

Well, how many people are there in the Romanian gathering area, including Transylvania? After the end of World War I, Romania has more than doubled in size, and the total number of Romanians has reached 13.5 million. That is to say, compared with before, the population of purebred Romania has increased by 6 million! How did this 6 million Romanian population come from? Naturally, it is attached to the occupied territory!

The Romanians in history obtained these territories from Hungary, Russia and Austria, that is, there were 6 million Romanians in these areas. Of course, the biggest gain for the Romanians was naturally from Hungary. (The Romanians obtained the Bisarabia region from Russia. It is not small, but it is incomparable to Transylvania.) So, there are at least 3 million Romanians in Hungary! This is roughly consistent with the Romanian population in the Austro-Hungary Empire.

In other words, in the new Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Hungarians were about 10 million, while the Romanians were about 5.5 million to 6 million! Although they are still ethnic minorities, they are all concentrated and there are many people, which puts great pressure on Hungary. It can be said that they have created a dual system in Hungary! And the two ethnic groups in this dual system still have new and old hatreds!

"The internal struggle between these two nations will put the entire Hungarian Kingdom in political power, which plays a very important role in stabilizing the post-war Austrian Empire. The best part is that even if Hungary knows it is a toxic bread, they will still accept it and eat it." Emperor Franz said.

"So, this time, the biggest problem is not our country, but the situation in Germany. Now the German Emperor is ready to move again." The old emperor sighed and said.

"Did they discover our plan?" Princess Mary asked with some concern.

"No, but now the German Emperor feels that he has a great advantage and is ready to cook the dog. The German Parliament is currently discussing a new issue, which is very unfavorable for Bavaria." Fritz said.

"Does Ruprecht know?" asked the princess.

"I know, Prussia is not a solid piece. In fact, I feel that there is a conspiracy in it. Ruprecht said we don't have to worry about this, he can handle it himself." Franz said.
