Chapter 1770 Vienna Court

While Hungary was in civil strife, the Hoffmann Palace in Vienna was also brightly lit all night. If we had to trace back to when the last imperial court was so busy, it would probably go back to the period of the Prussia-Austrian War. It was precisely because of this war that Prussia completely eliminated Austria from the German system. And because of this defeat, the Habsburg royal family had to share rights with the Hungarian nobles to ensure the unity of the empire! However, today, everything should change!

To be honest, even at the most difficult moment of the war, Emperor Fritz was not as nervous as he is now! Because even in Lviv, Galicia fought badly, the Austrian Emperor believed that the Bavarian army could completely turn the situation around. However, now, Austria is not only facing internal pressure brought by Hungary, but also this change is very likely to arouse Prussia's vigilance! After all, Prussia is not willing to see Austria's true rise. This is what the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers to be.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the two armies we deployed around Hungary can complete the task of blockade and suppression of the border areas well. The civil strife in Hungary has not affected Austria, and the seat belts and refugee camps we set up in the border areas are also operating smoothly. If you order us to move towards Budapest now, then we can completely dismantle all the armed forces of the Hungarian Kingdom within 2 weeks!" said the new chief of staff with full confidence.

"So, what's going on inside Hungary now? Is the battle between the nobles and radicals in Budapest not over yet?" asked the Ao Emperor.

"They are evenly matched. Your Majesty. According to our inside information, the entire Hungarian high-level officials are almost crazy! Their current approach is almost equivalent to burning themselves to ignite the opponent. In the face of life and death, both the nobles and the radicals have tried their best. They and their supporters continue to rush to this once most dazzling city in Hungary. According to the analysis given by the General Staff, they can continue to fight for at least ten more days!" said Count Taff.

"What else can be left after ten days?" Emperor Austria said expressionlessly. At this time, Emperor Franz could hardly describe his mood. Was he happy for the destruction of the Hungarian superstructure, or was he sad about his kind? Maybe people such as Count Oberni in the parliament would not die on the battlefield, but they would not have a good end. Even if Austria takes over Hungary, people like Count Obernie are people who must be removed!

Institutionally speaking, their current actions have undermined Prime Minister Tisa, who is the Hungarian Prime Minister recognized by the Austrian Emperor. Their actions have challenged the Austrian Emperor's authority, and making arbitrary claims is equivalent to treason. In this case, even in order to maintain the authority of the Vienna court and the country, Austria must take action to punish them!

From the reality of the Hungarian Empire, the rule of Hungarian aristocraticism must be overthrown! They are completely a cancer that is parasitic in Hungarian society, which not only seriously hinders the social development of Hungary, but also is also a huge obstacle to Austria's rule of Hungary. As for whether the petty bourgeoisie and middle-level intellectuals will take over the banner of national independence of the nobles? This can only be said to be possible, but even if some middle-class people want to continue to advocate national independence, their threat is still much smaller than that of the nobles.

Because Hungarian society is a typical dumbbell-type society, aristocrats and civilians are both ends of dumbbells, and the so-called middle class is very small, and the components are very complex. They generally cannot straighten out the relationship and unify them, so the threat is much smaller. As for civilians? After experiencing such a "civil war", after experiencing pain and disaster, they can be quiet for at least ten years! And when they find that under the rule of the Habsburg royal family, they may have a lower mindset of independence. For Ruprecht, this is just another difficult Bohemia!

Of course, there is another problem that Hungary must take the blame for such a big thing... The magnificent Austrian Emperor is definitely not good. Therefore, there are many problems in itself and the public opinion base is almost collapsed. The best choice is the nobles. Of course, some overly radical nationalists cannot stay. What Austria needs is a person who can recognize the reality and cooperate with the empire. Therefore, when both sides fight and lose both sides, the Austrian army will take decisive action, restore Hungarian order, and then pull out a person or organization that can be accepted by multiple parties or organize to re-establish the Hungarian local government! Of course, by that time, the status of the Hungarian government will be completely different from the previous dual empire!

"Father, it seems that everything is going very smoothly at the moment. We can soon take over a brand new Hungary." said Crown Princess Mary on the side. At this time, the issue of Crown Prince Ao is no longer a secret to everyone in the hall. Princess Mary is about to become Crown Prince Mary and then become the queen. Therefore, it is normal for Crown Princess Mary to participate in this matter.

"No, we have the most critical step to do," said Austria Emperor. "We need a spokesperson, someone who is familiar with the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is willing to stand on our side."

"You seem to be more willing to let Prime Minister Tisa manage Hungary before?" asked Princess Mary.

"He alone is not good enough. He can represent some enlightened nobles and some factory owners and intellectuals, but he cannot obtain a sufficient mass base. Therefore, he is just the first goal we need to convince." said Ao Huang.

"Is our other persuasion target among the radicals?" Crown Princess Mary said with some surprise.

"That's right, we have made sufficient preparations for today. Even though Prime Minister Tissa still has a grudge against Austria and refuses to cooperate, we can still support an agent very quickly. Those who walk with Yashi oppose aristocratic rule, but they are not unified on the issue of independence. After all, they are not fools. Some of them are very clear that even if they have obtained power, they still cannot leave Austria under the current internal and external difficulties." Emperor Austria said with a smile.

"So who will leave this to do?" Mary asked.

"Of course, this kind of thing must be left to the most reliable and capable people to do it. Don't worry, Ruprecht has already started to act." said Emperor Ao.
