The military campaign had not yet begun, and the nascent Republic of Hungary was already in a difficult situation under the pressure of political and economic means.

The republican government watched as Croatia, Transylvania, Slovakia and other regions were co-opted by the Vienna government.

Before the Austrian government could begin its repression, the Republic of Hungary had shrunk by half, and it was still shrinking, and Führer Kossuth was very angry, but could not do anything about it.

Bloodless revolutions have proven to be incomplete, and the nascent Republic of Hungary is now riddled with internal contradictions, and the inability to deal with local governments is the only way to be tough.

Budapest

In his impassioned speech, Führer Kossuth said: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have illusions about the Austrians? Wake up, the Austrian government could not have made us independent so easily!

In this short period of half a month, the great Hungary has lost nearly six layers of territory, and if it continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before Budapest changes hands again.

The attitude of the Austrian government towards the revolutionary party was felt by all. From Vienna to Italy, from Prague to Galicia, the enemy raised a butcher's knife and slaughtered.

Do you think that Hungary will be an exception? Once the revolution fails, all of us who are doing it will either become lost dogs and go into exile, or become headless ghosts under the hands of the enemy!

God, this is terrible!! I can't even imagine how much damage this will do to Hungary.

……”

The faces of everyone present were different, some were excited, some were panicked, and some were dismissive.

A representative of the aristocracy suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Kossuth, everyone understands these great truths, let's talk about something practical!"

We really feel the Austrian threat, but what is the use of it? Can we just talk about it here and solve the problem? ”

There is no doubt that the ability to execute is the hard wound of the Republic of Hungary, and all republican states have one characteristic, that is, they are noisy.

No, Finland may be an exception in the future, after the presidential term is over, the people are too lazy to elect, and if it were not for the constitutional restrictions, the president can be for life.

It is clear that the Republic of Hungary has not yet reached that height, their consciousness is not so high, and the republican government has been full of contradictions since its establishment.

Even now, there are still many people who oppose secession from Austria, and they still have not taken off the crown of the Habsburgs.

The revolutionary party led by Kossuth, without any experience in government, had endless problems as soon as it came to power, and the chaotic political program was also the main factor contributing to the deterioration of the situation.

From the standpoint of the Hungarian nation, he was a great defender of national interests. If you stand on the side of other Hungarian minorities, he is also a national oppressor.

Under the influence of extreme nationalist ideas, the Hungarian Revolution was on the opposite side of the national minorities from the very beginning, and the Austrian government appeared as the protector of the minorities.

What is even more tragic is that the Hungarian nation in this era is too narrow, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of nobles, capitalists, and middle class, a large number of serfs, workers, and poor people are excluded.

No matter how beautified it is, the Hungarian republican government has not taken into account the interests of the people at the bottom, and the issue of serfs, which has attracted much attention, has never been effectively resolved.

The decrees of the republic were used as toilet paper by the aristocracy and capitalists, and the weak republican government was powerless.

Presentations and inspiration are Kossuth's forte, but when it comes to specific issues, it's a big problem. From a critic to a policymaker, he has not yet changed his role.

Frowning, Kosuth stiffened his head and said, "Duke Leopold, the most important thing for us now is to organize the army and suppress those rebels, and we can't let this situation continue to deteriorate. ”

For the Republic of Hungary, the fall of these local governments to Austria was indeed a betrayal.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people do not think so, and the vast majority of people think that the Republic of Hungary is a traitor, and that the Austrian emperor to whom they are loyal is legitimate.

Duke Leopold scoffed: "In that case, the government should send troops earlier?" If the troops were sent as soon as possible, the situation would definitely not deteriorate to the current situation! ”

As members of the great aristocracy, they suffered heavy losses, and the Viennese government confiscated a large amount of their land as soon as they intervened.

Secretly, they also communicated with the Viennese government, but under Franz's leadership, the cabinet was very dissatisfied with their actions in the Hungarian rebellion, and directly rejected the demand for the protection of their property.

Without a fief, is there any difference between a big nobleman and a small noble? You must know that their influence on the country is actually built on this land.

A big nobleman owns tens of thousands or even millions of hectares of land in his hands, and also has a large number of serfs, as long as they are willing to form an army of thousands or even tens of thousands at any time, this is the confidence of their words.

At this time, Leopold would naturally be dissatisfied with the Kossuth government, and if it weren't for this revolution, they would still be high and noble, unlike now, which could be knocked to the dust at any time.

Kossuth also had a younger brother, and at this time the Minister of War Liszt spoke: "Your Excellency, you should know that military preparations take time, and we must also take into account the influence of the Austrian government.

If military action is taken without preparation, it is likely to provoke a military strike from Austria, and it will be difficult for us to achieve victory in the event of a sudden situation! ”

His explanations were dismissed by many, that the so-called military preparations were still on paper, and that the revolutionary party did not trust the great aristocracy.

After the establishment of the Republic of Hungary, Kossuth used a large number of "civilian generals".

Civilian generals are not all talented, the vast majority of people's abilities are really not up to par, and their military literacy is not much worse than that of aristocratic officers.

There is simply no way to solve this situation in a short period of time, and leading troops to fight also needs to be cultivated from an early age.

In Europe, only the great nobles had a complete military talent training system, so before the 20th century, almost all the famous European generals were big aristocrats.

Under the Vienna system, the European continent was peaceful for decades, and in the absence of actual combat, there was no room for civilian generals to grow, even if there were talents.

Historically, due to the lack of generals, the Hungarian Republic finally found a Polish veteran to command, which also made the Hungarian aristocracy and the republican government alienated.

Now it was no exception, the Republic of Hungary did not take military action, partly for fear of angering the Austrian government, and partly because the revolutionaries did not trust the great aristocracy.
