"Master, all the guards of the parliament outside have evacuated, please leave quickly." In a two-story building on the edge of the noble district of Budapest, Tissa, his housekeeper and a few loyal servants are temporarily under the "protection" of the parliament.

"Is that true?" Earl of Tisa stood up and walked tremblingly to the balcony with the help of his servant. From this position, he could clearly see the smoke columns and fires rising in the city of Budapest and the suburbs. There was even a strong smell of gunpowder in the air he was breathing.

"It seems that the situation is not as expected by Oberni and the others." Earl of Tisa smiled bitterly. Since he firmly opposed the "era" plan proposed by Oberni at a meeting within the Independent Party last month, everything he relied on, the support of the nobles, and the support of the Independent Party have always left him. Now he truly realized that as the prime minister of the Hungarian Empire, he had never truly mastered the power of this country. The ones who truly mastered the power of this country are still those great aristocratic landlords who had been passed down for hundreds of years and the newly rising large factory owners.

"This country has never changed before. This system has existed in Hungary for thousands of years. However, today, this decayed class is destined to disappear." Earl of Tisa looked at the parliament building in the distance. A tear flowed down her cheeks. The Count was not sad for Count Obernie and the decayed guys surrounding him, but for Hungary! This country he loved deeply would eventually be buried with the nobles! Because of their actions, the last trace of the spirit of the kingdom was consumed!

To be honest, Count Tisa is definitely a patriot. He really wants Hungary to flourish. Whether he takes advantage of the Independent Party to ascend to the throne of prime minister or with the support of the Austrian Emperor, he uses universal suffrage to force the parliament to pass the military expansion resolution, it is actually for Hungary.

He was a conservative person, and he knew the chronic diseases of the Hungarian Kingdom. However, compared with the reform measures of the bourgeois radicals, he wanted a stable Hungary, because he knew that the basic base of the radicals was too small, and it was nothing more than a middle class with a rare and complex composition in the country. If radical reforms were allowed, let alone the counterattack of the nobles who held the state power, even if there was no interference, the radicals might not be able to control the entire situation in the end.

Before the war, his plan was clear, that was, to follow Austria to win the war and then completely destroy Romania, not only for Romania's food and land, but more importantly, to fundamentally destroy the Romanian tendency of independence in the Transylvania region! Once the Romanian kingdom is beaten to pieces, what else can the Romanians in Transylvania have to jump?

In politics, he hoped to unite the hearts of the Hungarian Kingdom through war! In the early decade of this century, Austria's development speed was much higher than Hungary, and a large number of Hungarian talents flowed to Austria, especially the Bohemia region. Earl of Tisa could feel that the Hungarian ruling system was even more dull, and in the countryside, people from villages left here, leaving behind a wooden house with wooden boards with doors and windows sealed. They found a more suitable job in other parts of the empire and declared allegiance to the Austrian Emperor or the Grand Duke of Mary. You know, they were Hungarians! The influence of this behavior spread rapidly in the middle and lower levels of the empire. Before the outbreak of the war, the nationalist beliefs at the grassroots level of Hungary had actually been greatly weakened.

Tisa thought very well. After using war to unite people's hearts and destroy Romania, the independence tendency of the largest ethnic minority in the empire would be curbed. The dividends of war can more or less allow all classes of society to enjoy, so the Kingdom of Hungary would be stable for at least 20 years.

As for what happened later, it was not the old man who could decide. But who knew that this plan that seemed to be well-produced was accompanied by a large-scale military defeat, and the impact of the failure of the war shocked the entire Hungarian Kingdom. At this time, Prime Minister Tissa realized that the domestic contradictions in Hungary were so deep, and Hungary's national strength was far from as strong as imagined. Even Tissa believed that if a single fight was fought, it was hard to say whether Hungary could handle Romania... As a country with the same area as Italy, Hungary's national strength and performance were really ashamed...

What followed was the Austrian force! This was certainly unacceptable to Prime Minister Tissa who was keen on the "Greater Hungarian"ism at the beginning... That's right, at the beginning, and then, as the situation got worse, Tissa's rights and status were no longer so entangled with Hungary's rights and status. After all, people had to bow their heads under the roof. So, after meeting the Austrian Emperor for the third time, he began to adjust his strategy. On the one hand, he was preparing to lose sincerity to Austria in exchange for more support. On the other hand, it was to reform the domestic, weaken the noble rights, and compromise with radicals with a more popular foundation. It was not to ask the two sides to completely eliminate the conflict, but to be able to make do with it first. We must stabilize the domestic situation, and on the outside, we must show that Hungary is one in order to bargain with more chips!

However, Prime Minister Tisa was still too optimistic. He overestimated the moral integrity of the nobles and underestimated the people's anger towards the nobles! The Independence Party led by Earl Oberney was not willing to negotiate at all. They wanted to continue to maintain the dominance of the nobles and began to dispatch troops through various channels. The bourgeois radicals even took out a plan to divide the property of the nobles and the church as a battle manifesto! And they received huge support from the people!

Therefore, Prime Minister Tisa was not pleased with both sides. When he appeared in the parliament for the last time and tried to convince Count Obini, the latter openly declared in the parliament that "Prime Minister Tisa was in poor health and could not fulfill his rights, so he suggested that he rest with peace of mind."

The result is that since being swept into the house by a group of people that day, Tisa never left the villa again!

"Master, we can leave here now, why don't you leave quickly?" Just as Tisa was still thinking about it, the old housekeeper next to him urged while packing up his things and preparing to leave.

"Leave here?" Tisa looked at her loyal servant with a strange expression.

"Yes, we can go back to your hometown or some other place, but we must not stay in Budapest. This is simply a battlefield. There was a fire near the Parliament Building, so we must not be safe here." The old butler said anxiously.

"Haha, yes, it's not safe." Tisa sighed.
