1774 Surrender 1

Of course, negotiation is not a debate meeting. More importantly, Morris wants to completely defeat Count Tisa's spiritual defense in this way. If Count Tisa is a politician with no bottom line, then this method will naturally not be used. Of course, based on the principle of serving dishes, for such guys, carrots and sticks are done directly. Some of the Hungarian nobles are such a thing. Is it necessary to be so troublesome?

The key is that Count Tissa is still loyal to the Hungarian nation as a whole, and this also gives him a certain mass base. The former makes his political integrity less low, while the latter also gives him a certain value for use. The aristocratic class cannot be ruined at once. How could a hundred-year tradition collapse overnight? Even without privileges, their economic power is still terrible. Therefore, the new Hungarian government will definitely have some enlightened aristocrats. Tissa is very suitable as a sign to win over these people!

"Prime Minister Tisa, you have countless reasons to swear at me, but now, look at Hungary, look at Budapest, look at Hungarian people who are suffering from life, tell me, do these things have anything to do with you?!" Morse said.

"So? Your purpose here today is to judge me? And then pull me into a corner like those prisoners?" Earl Tisa no longer bothered with this issue, because he knew that Morris was indeed right, even if his inner wish was good. But now, Hungary has fallen on this map, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one should never redeem it for a hundred deaths.

"A chance, an opportunity to atone for oneself," Morse said.

"And then continue to work for Franz? Really become a loyal servant of the Habsburg royal family?" Earl Tisa asked back.

"If we talk about historical heritage, the Kingdom of Hungary and the nation have been loyal to the Habsburg family for hundreds of years. What? Is it difficult for you to accept?" Morris asked back.

"What's more, the situation is stronger than that of people. Anyone with a smart mind knows that no matter who comes to power now, he cannot rely solely on Hungary's own strength to save this country. We can only get help from Austria now, and these help is not free!" Morris said.

"We have no choice. If you have one, then you can do it." Morris leaned on the chair relaxedly and said, making a gesture of invitation.

"You can't threaten me. Hungary is in this situation now. What if it declines again? Vienna has divided the areas where other ethnic groups gather and directly belong to the central government. Today, Hungary is only a little more than half of what it used to be." Earl of Tisa said.

"What you said makes sense. To be honest, His Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht is actually not willing to let Hungary continue to stay in the Austro-Hungary. After all, the Hungarian nation also has a population of tens of millions and has a strong tendency to national independence. Even if you surrender now due to the situation, it may be a problem in the future. His Highness Crown Prince has a deep feeling about this."

Speaking of this, Morse smiled. Earl of Tisa naturally knew what Morse meant. Austria-Hungary and German Empire were actually very similar. Hungary within the Austro-Hungary and Bavaria within the German Empire had similarities! As a person in power, he naturally did not want other strong hills to exist within the empire.

"So, the purpose of your coming to me is to tell me that Austria may abandon Hungary in the future?" Prime Minister Tisa asked tentatively. To be honest, Morris's words surprised Tisa because, before that, Tisa always believed that Austria's purpose was to make Hungary surrender, but unexpectedly, someone in the Austro-Hungarian camp wanted to kick Hungary out.

This is interesting. Don’t Hungary think you are very NB? Don’t you want independence? Then let you be independent, but what will happen after independence? Damn, Count Tissa, who is dedicated to emphasizing Hungary’s national independence, suddenly discovered that if the Ao Emperor really planned to give up Hungary, then the country of Hungary might be really over! Hungary without foreign aid does not even have enough food for winter! Even basic social order cannot be maintained! Some nobles ran away, but what about the people? After this turmoil, the accumulation of the Kingdom of Hungary for decades or even hundreds of years is probably gone!

"Prince Morris, are you kidding? Will the Ao Emperor give up Hungary? This joke is not funny at all." Earl of Tisa made a haha, trying to ease the atmosphere, and this was the first time Tisa used a respectful word tonight. This inadvertent change in the title exposed that Earl of Tisa was already a little unstable.

"And, as the crown prince of Bavaria, Ruprecht, although his wife is Princess Mary, and although he has provided a lot of help to Austria, he has no right to interfere in the fundamental internal problems of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on such issues, right?" Earl of Tisa said seriously.

"This is not necessarily true. Perhaps, in the near future, Crown Prince Ruprecht may add the titles of Grand Duke of Bohemia and Regent of the Austrian Empire." Morris said seriously.

"How could Princess Mary have the title of Grand Princess Ruprecht be given to Crown Prince? Where did the regent of the empire start?" Tisa shook her head as she said, expressing her incomprehension.

"Emperor Franz is destined to grow old, and the new emperor will eventually succeed to the throne," said Morris.

"However, no matter whether any member of the Habsburg royal family inherits the throne, he is willing to let the Bavarian crown prince take such an important position in the country," said Earl of Tisa.

"Really? Use your imagination, Count." Morris said with a smile.

"You...you mean! Princess Mary will inherit the throne?! She has been married to Bavaria!" Earl of Tisa said in disbelief.

"I didn't say anything, and I won't explain anything. You think about it yourself." Morris continued to play the puzzle. But from his reaction, Earl of Tisa could tell that his guess was completely correct!

"If Princess Mary successfully wears the imperial crown, how can Bavaria deal with itself? A family has an emperor and a king at the same time, which is really..." Earl of Tisa said while quickly thinking in his heart. "I don't think Bavaria will leave Germany, and the Habsburg family and the Vitelsbach family cannot merge. Albrecht, the eldest son of the crown prince and the princess, is very likely to inherit the Austrian throne, so the second son should inherit the Bavarian throne. This combination is only temporary."
