1775 Submission 2
Morris did not disturb Count Tisa, but quietly drank coffee on the side. To be honest, let alone Count Tisa, even Morris couldn't see clearly the situation after Empress Mary came to power. If the two families merged, there would probably be some difficulties. The Habsburg family used to be the royal family in Europe. Although the Vettelsbach family was a little worse, they were also the third thousand-year-old. Before the rise of Prussia, it was only about the same level as Bavaria. How could the two families merge like this?
In his opinion, the most likely result at the moment is to form a relatively close alliance, and to ensure blood relationship between the two parties through continued intermarriage. As for the exchange of interests? Vienna, which has made a lot of money, can provide enough remuneration to repay these Bavarians for their help. For example, Queen Mary can hand over the governance of the Bohemia-Moravian region that originally belonged to her name to her husband, and can also transfer part of the newly added territory to Bavaria. As for how to operate it, it is not something he can consider. In the conversation just now, he has disclosed some news, and the purpose is to make Count Tisa believe that what he said is true!
"Well, these things are too far away from us. I can't control the matter between Vienna and Munich." Earl of Tisa shook his head and said. "If His Highness Ruprecht agrees to Hungary's independence, what can Hungary be left?"
The Count was ready to consider this issue from the worst. Yes, this was the worst! Because if independence came, what would be waiting for Hungary would be endless chaos and war. Without external interference, the nobles and bourgeois radicals who had been red-eyed would engage in a war to destroy everything, and maybe someone would take advantage of the situation to rob! For example, the Romanians in Transylvania! Earl of Tisa knew very well that although Romania was very rich, Ruprecht was only interested in the oil there and did not have much interest in the land. This is why he agreed to Hungary's request at the beginning.
Now, Romania, which was originally pressed to the ground by the Bavarian Legion and was struggling with strength, has become a major problem for Hungary. Maybe Hungary, which has been severely weakened, will be torn off a large piece again!
"Do you think the current Hungarian Legion can stop Transylvania's independence?" Morris asked back: "And I think if I wait for a while, I'm afraid Transylvania will become bigger."
"Er German, Austrian, or the crown prince will not allow a country that once hostile to become stronger." Earl of Tisa said.
"Actually, for the new Austria and Germany, are there any other choices besides following it? From the overall strategic perspective, there is actually no difference. As a punishment for Romania, just change them to a king." Morris said leisurely: "Or let's take another bet and see if Transylvania will become bigger?"
"You are also Hungary! How can you watch the Hungarian people fall into the abyss without being moved?" Earl of Tisa said angrily.
"That's why I came to you and hope you can come forward to solve this problem again. The problem is not to bargain with Vienna with Hungary as capital. If the price is too high, they can give up Hungary. After all, they have obtained too much from the Russians! We are now begging others to join this new Austrian empire. Do you know? We must first adjust our mindset to continue the following things. So, now I have found you, we must gradually stabilize Hungary through hard work, and then tell Vienna that the cost of re-placing Hungary into the territory will not be very high!" Morris said.
"This is really a humiliation." Earl of Tisa sighed. But now, excluding the nationalism in his heart, Earl of Tisa really agrees with what Morris said that staying in the Austrian system is better than being independent. If you stay, the territory will definitely be larger than independence. Of course, the most important thing is to use the Austrian army to restore domestic order, and at the same time use Austrian economic loans and help. What if it is independence? Not to mention that even if Austria helps Hungary and provides loans and troops, the loans obtained must be paid back... So how many years of fiscal revenue does Hungary have to repay Austrian loans and military expenses?
If you are really independent, then you may be the economic shackle that Hungary cannot escape from without industry and agriculture, right? Hungary, which has difficulty in self-sufficiency, can only be worse. If you continue to stay in Austria, at least it will be better when repaying foreign debts. If conditions permit, it is possible to lose some of it...
"So well, tell me what should I do?" After thinking for a few minutes, Count Tisa finally decided to surrender. For Hungary and for himself. Even if he is dissatisfied with Vienna, he must learn to accept reality! That is to say, if Hungary wants to survive, he must stay under Austria's protection, and now he must work hard to make Austria agree to Hungary joining this new country. This is simply asking others to unify Hungary... What a tragic thing this is for Count Tisa, who has always claimed to be the banner of Hungary's nationalism!
"Leave here and then we go to the north, where the situation needs to be stable, and you will first establish a government there to help stabilize the situation." Morris said.
"You mean to give up Budapest?" asked Prime Minister Tisa.
"His Majesty the Ao Emperor has no favoritism for the rotten aristocratic class, and is also full of hostility towards radicals who are related to Britain and France. Therefore, for these people, let them kill each other and throw them into the trash can of history." Morris said.
"Is this equivalent to a reshuffle of the upper and middle Hungary levels?" asked Count Tisa.
"You can think so." Morris didn't deny it.
"What about Transylvania in the south?" asked Prime Minister Tisa.
"I don't know this, but it seems that it will be handed over to the Bavarian Legion under Crown Prince Ruprecht," said Morris.
