"War must serve politics", this is the best excuse that Franz came up with, and it cannot be said that he was afraid of history repeating itself, and the Hungarians suddenly broke out in a wave and pushed back the Bohemian legions?

No one believes this, the Bohemian Legion has an army of 100,000, and even if it is a 50,000 discount, there are 50,000 regular troops. How many Hungarian troops are there in Budapest now?

The Republic of Hungary has a large army in name, but in reality Kossuth is able to support very limited troops, and there are national guards at all levels of local government, many of which are empty.

The Kossuth government gathered some of the routs on the front, and the nominal total strength of Budapest reached 80,000, with an average of two or three people and a gun, and the morale of the troops at all, how much combat effectiveness could they have?

Prince Wendy Schretz is a soldier and a politician at the same time, so he naturally does not refute this statement.

"Your Highness, could it be that the government has some plans?"

Franz smiled and said, "Your Excellency, have you forgotten the Italian battlefield?" ”

Prince Wendy Schretz nodded, and although he did not consider the Kingdom of Sardinia a trouble, he would not refuse to win the war more easily.

The main forces of Austria are all in force, the Republic of Hungary is in danger, and if the Kingdom of Sardinia does not attack Venice, then it will not be 100,000 Austrian troops in the future, but may be 200,000 or 300,000.

It can't be more, the suppression of the Hungarian rebellion is a local war, and the Habsburgs have not made the country angry, and there is a popular base to support a war of this scale.

"Order the troops on the front line, give me a steady fight, advance step by step, and don't leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of!" Franz added

……

The territory of the Kingdom of Hungary is not small in substance, covering more than 300,000 square kilometers, more than three times the size of the later Republic of Hungary.

By this time, two-thirds of the area had already fallen to the Austrian government, and politically, the Vienna government's previous political offensive had been very successful.

The Bohemian Legion, which is closest to Budapest, is only a few tens of kilometers away, and the Transylvanian Legion, which is the farthest, will not be more than three hundred kilometers from Budapest.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Hungarian government has been terrified, and many people regret it.

The Austrians' response was much greater than they expected, and the normal operation was not to send the police to arrest people first, then send thousands of troops to suppress them after failure, and then continue to increase the number of troops after failure......

In short, the Republic of Hungary won successive victories by brushing up Austrian copies, and then forced the Austrian government to recognize their independence, which is the Kossuth government's reference to the American Revolutionary War, the imaginary Hungarian War of Independence.

There may be setbacks, they may encounter defeats, and in the end the victory must belong to the Republic of Hungary.

The highest level of deception is to deceive yourself together.

Well, they may not be crooks, but they did compile such a sweet dream. If such a dream does not exist, it cannot support them to get to this point.

It's a pity, the director got the wrong script at the beginning, obviously a novice copy to send experience upgrades, and suddenly it became a hell copy, and he was going to fight the big boss directly, but they were level 0?

Budapest

Forced by the situation, Kossuth had to turn to his biggest political rival, Count Eastfan, for help.

István Széchenyi, one of the great Hungarian nobles and the greatest reformer of Hungary, had a high reputation at home.

Unlike Kossuth, who rose to prominence by speech, he was a doer who made outstanding contributions to education, transportation, culture, politics, economics and other fields, and was hailed as the greatest man in Hungary.

It turned out that the doers were not good at influencing, and that was why the Republic of Hungary was born, because István remained loyal to the emperor and opposed any violent revolution.

Politically, István believed that any economic, political, and social reform must be carried out slowly and carefully to avoid unforeseen consequences.

Suter advocated the creation of a rapidly industrializing state, while István advocated the preservation of the traditional strong agriculture and continued the path of an agrarian state.

The biggest conflict between the two sides is over ethnicity, with István arguing that Hungary is a multi-ethnic country, where people are divided by language, culture, and religion, and that nationalism is very dangerous.

He believed that what Hungary needed at the outset was gradual economic, social and cultural progress, and opposed excessive radicalism and nationalism.

The nationalism promoted by Kossuth proved to be unworkable, and the Vienna government easily divided Hungary internally.

In desperation, Kossuth had to seek help from his political opponents.

"Your Excellency, for the sake of the future of thirteen million people in the Republic of Hungary, I have come to ask you to come out of the mountain!"

István shook his head, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Your Hungarian Republic does not have more than 13 million people, maybe not even 500,000 people, and the rest are Ferdinand's subjects!" ”

The invisible pretending to be B is the most slap in the face, and István directly named the real reason for the predicament of the Republic of Hungary.

Because of the government's radical ethnic policy, the minorities of the Republic of Hungary chose to remain loyal to the emperor.

The republican government did not solve the land question, and then the peasants decided to be loyal to the emperor; The republican government did not take into account the interests of the working class, which then decided to be loyal to the emperor.

In the end, the capitalists and nobles remained, and there was no doubt that a considerable part of them were still loyal to the emperor, and there were not many people who really identified with the Hungarian Republic.

"Your Excellency, now that the Republic of Hungary has been established, and the Austrian army is about to kill it, can you bear to watch Hungary come to an end?" Kossuth asked, looking angry

István said calmly: "Mr. Kossuth, don't talk about these useless things. I joined the army at the age of 17, fought in the war against France, and spent 18 years in the army before retiring.

I know better than you about military matters, and militarily I don't see any chance of winning. You tell me, what can I do now?

Of course, if you are going to give up your independence and prepare to negotiate with the Vienna government, then that's a different story! ”

Kossuth's face was gloomy and terrifying, and although he agreed with István's statement deep down, he couldn't admit it.

As the head of state of the Republic of Hungary, he actually has no choice but to fight to the end, and peace talks are tantamount to the end of his political life.
