1818 The dust settles in Hungary 1

"Prime Minister Tissa, now the entire Hungarian region has restored order. We have placed more than 60% of the population in Hungary. From the current perspective, people are in a stable mood and have sufficient supplies." In the opinion villa of Visprem, west of Budapest, Count Tissa, who escaped from Budapest, once again accepted the position of Hungarian Prime Minister given to him by Emperor Ao, and began to re-perform his duties.

About a week after the arrival of the Count of Tisa, former Hungarian government officials who finally agreed to cooperate with Vienna began to arrive here one after another, and with the help of the Austrians, a provisional government was established. The main task they had to do now was to help Vienna stabilize and rebuild domestic order, and to suppress traitors in Hungary.

"When I came to Vesprem, I knew that when I crossed this threshold, the great Kingdom of Hungary that I had once expected would leave me, because only those loyal to Vienna are welcomed here, Hungary and Austria are no longer in equal relations. We will surrender and become a province in a new empire. Our parliament will no longer have an impact on the central government, and even internal rights will be deprived. Unfortunately, we have no other choice. If Hungary is pure, we may not even be able to survive this winter." A former Hungarian official wrote in his diary.

But compared to ordinary Hungarians, they welcome the Austrians very much, because the Austrians brought them the food, clothes, fuel, and the most valuable order and peace they needed! At this time, the so-called "Great Hungarian Kingdom" belief was far less than a piece of bread to them. The original Hungarian nobles and officials were no different from the enemy in their eyes!

"Prime Minister Tisa, Ri'an!" After hearing this familiar greeting, Prime Minister Tisa put down his work and looked at Earl Tarf, a special liaison officer in Vienna who walked into his office.

"Hello, Lord Earl, I invite you here today to ask a question, when can we return to Budapest? And, in the future, how should my government be formed?" Prime Minister Tisa asked.

"In a week, your subordinates can return to Budapest to fulfill their mission. But you may not be able to go back immediately. Because there is a very important ceremony that requires you to attend." Earl Taff said with a smile.

"Is there any ceremony more important than the re-establishment of the Hungarian Kingdom government?" Earl Tisa said with a slightly frown and a little dissatisfied.

"The new crown prince's enthronement ceremony will be held this week. You will represent Hungary in this ceremony, and then at the ceremony, bring the crown prince a crown symbolizing the kingdom of Hungary." said the Little Earl Taff.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has reached an agreement with Crown Prince Ruprecht on this issue. I want to know now who is so lucky to be able to agree with both." Prime Minister Tisa said seriously, because he knew that this crown prince would directly determine the destiny of Austria in the next few decades!

"The princess of the empire, Princess Mary, the wife of His Highness Ruprecht." Little Taff spoke out a choice that shocked Count Tisa!

"Does this mean that the merger of the Habsburg family and the Vettelsbach family? Even the merger of Vienna and Munich?! Have you considered the reaction of Prussia?" Count Tisa was really scared. Tisa and Emperor Franz may have many differences, but they were surprisingly consistent in their fear of German power. He knew that it was impossible for Austria and Bavaria to merge, but this practice of possibly causing Prussia to retaliate really shocked and even scared him!

"Bavaria will still remain in the territory of Germany. The eldest son of the crown prince and His Highness the prince will inherit the throne of Emperor Ao in the future. The second son will inherit the throne of the Bavarian Kingdom. In order to prevent the conferred ceremony from being unexpected, our diplomats will communicate with the Emperor and Berlin in advance. I think that both William II and Albert of the Parliament will make the right choice, right?" Earl Taff said with a smile.

"You really chose a very good opportunity!" Earl of Tisa said with a complicated expression. In this case, as long as Bavaria does not announce his separation from the German Empire, neither the German Emperor nor the parliamentary faction will do too much trouble on Princess Mary's inheritance of the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, right?

What? You say you are against it? Whether it is the German Emperor or Albert, why should they oppose it?! In theory, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire chooses a crown prince, it still needs to be approved by William II? What do you think? Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a little weaker, it is not like this! Moreover, in history, the fact that a family has mastered several kingdoms at the same time has not happened. There are many such things like this! Even the Hohenzollern family, a family that later became a nb, has differently produced the German and Romanian royal families?

The inheritance right is no problem. Albrecht, the eldest son of the Crown Prince and Princess Mary, is not a German nationality, but began to follow Princess Mary as an Austrian nationality. He was the heir of Bohemia-Moravia as soon as he was born. Now, with Princess Mary becoming the crown prince, there is no problem with Albrecht, who has Austrian nationality becoming the second heir to the throne! How natural this is? As for the Crown Prince Ruprecht? It is estimated that it should be fine to get the position of a regent. After all, William II is also a general in the UK... (Real fact. European countries have a tradition of giving foreign in-laws or monarchs to impart impartments and titles.)

As for the objection, the German Emperor and Albert are really unable to object. Not to mention that at this time, if one side expresses "understanding" and the other side expresses "opposition", the opposition will definitely not see the sun next month.... So what if both sides oppose it? What will the Prussian officers' group think? In their opinion, as long as Bavaria does not break through the final bottom line - independence, or merge with Austria, they will never take the initiative to launch an attack. After all, once the war begins, it will be a rhythm that everyone will be ruined. As for the German Emperor and Albert? In fact, as long as the officers' group is willing, it is no problem to change someone. The German Emperor has several sons, and it is not a big problem to choose one. As for the Social Democratic Party, there are many candidates, and there are always a few willing to cooperate...
