The flooding of Budapest, if it were in the future, would not be a big deal at all, at least Franz had seen the news of the flooding of Budapest a few times.

However, if an artificial dam was built on the upper reaches of the Danube, and the power of the water was used to attack Budapest, the consequences would be serious. Budapest is finished, but so are the farmland and cities downstream.

If the local Hungarian population were all supporters of the revolutionaries, then it would not be considered that the Austrian army would have done so long ago.

However, now the supporters of the Habsburgs are obviously more supporters than the supporters of the Hungarian republican government, and if the city were flooded, it would be 800 enemies killed and 1,000 self-losses.

Franz didn't know what Kossuth thought, and when he heard the news that the city might be flooded, he knew that Budapest could not hold it.

Thinking from the perspective of politicians, if he were to stand on the side of the Vienna government, no matter how serious the consequences were and how heavy the price he paid, he would choose to extinguish the Republic of Hungary.

"No, General Henrik Denbinski. The politicians are much less disciplined than you might think, and what can't the rotten Austrian government do?

The displacement of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians is not a big deal in the eyes of Austrians! Kossuth said solemnly

At least in his mind, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians are bargaining chips that can be discarded, and if the final victory can be achieved, this sacrifice is several times more acceptable.

This can be seen in the republican government's suppression of the workers' and peasants' movement. Since the establishment of the Republic of Hungary in 1848, more people have been killed in the suppression of the workers' and peasants' movement than in the Kingdom of Hungary in the last decade.

This is almost the common feature of bourgeois government in this era. On the one hand, they shouted for freedom and the liberation of the productive forces, and on the other hand, they raised their butcher's knives against the working people.

"Mr. Kossuth, if the enemy were to flood Budapest, everything we would do would be in vain, and our individual power would be small in the face of a terrible flood.

I suggest that you prepare the way back now, preserve the flame of revolution as much as possible, and continue this sacred cause. Henrik Denbinski said with a frown

This is also the experience of the Poles, but no kind of setbacks have been experienced, and the flame of revolution has not been extinguished. Of course, the wave that was killed by the Soviets was considered unlucky, and it was ruthless.

"If we don't take the initiative to attack, we should concentrate our forces to fight a bloody road, so as not to affect the people in the city and suffer from the war!" Pei Duofei couldn't help but suggest

As a hot-blooded young man, he can't make up his mind to let the people of the city follow the funeral, but it's a pity that he doesn't count these problems.

Kossuth shook his head and said, "To take the initiative is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg, and now the enemy is hoping that we will take the initiative to send it to the door."

Even if the enemy were to flood Budapest, after the attack had been frustrated, the Vienna government could not have made up its mind immediately, and this was our chance.

The Venetian War had reached a critical juncture, and the Austrians were still at war with the Italian states, and if our allies won the war, the situation would change.

The rotten Austrian government does not have the courage to fight, and when the enemy is struggling internally and externally, we will ask the French to mediate, and the revolutionary cause will be successful! ”

Obviously, after a long period of failure, Kossuth no longer believed that the Hungarians could achieve national independence on their own, but pinned their hopes on the intervention of international powers.

Henrik Denpinski warned: "From a military point of view, Mr. Kossuth, I have to remind you that the chances of the Italian state winning this war are very slim.

Of the four Italian states, only the Kingdom of Sardinia was engaged in a bloody war with Austria, and even if they were lucky enough to conquer Venice, they did not have the strength to support Hungary. ”

The allies in the Italian region are unreliable, and the French are even more unreliable, they themselves are still making revolutions, and they still want to intervene in the Hungarian revolution?

"No, we still have allies. The Habsburg feud, the Ottoman Empire, has just completed institutional reforms, and we can ask them to intervene in this war! Kossuth said fiercely

He had already made up his mind that it would be a big deal to cede Transylvania to the Ottoman Empire, and that it would be acceptable to pay a part of the price as long as Hungary could become independent.

Since 1792, the Ottoman Empire has been carrying out reforms, from the initial military reforms, to the introduction of technology, to economic reforms, and finally to political reforms.

In this era, the Ottoman Empire was still progressive, and they followed the example of European countries in carrying out reforms, although they had not yet achieved the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army.

"No, the Ottoman Empire and Hungary have a century-old blood feud, and cooperating with them will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the house!" Pei Duofei hurriedly objected

Open the history book of Hungary, the battle with the Ottoman Empire occupies nearly half of the content, both sides have been dead for hundreds of years, and now cooperating with the Ottoman Empire is completely seeking the skin of the tiger.

Moreover, the hatred accumulated by the people is not something they can control, and religious beliefs are even more insurmountable, if the Hungarian soldiers and the Ottoman army are allowed to fight together, it is estimated that the battle will not start first.

Kossuth resolutely said: "For the sake of the great cause of the revolution, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. It is true that the Ottomans were our enemies, but our position was unanimous in dealing with Austria.

As long as Hungary can gain independence, we can wait for the future to solve other problems. The British, the French, and even the whole of Europe will be our allies! ”

……

Plans could not change as fast as possible, and just as Kosuth was preparing to unite with the Ottoman Empire, the Venetian battlefield changed again.

The phrase "three-minute heat" is a fitting description of the Italians, whose fighting has been worn down by days of fighting.

The Battle of Trento, a key point on the battlefield, was the focus, Marshal Badolio ordered three days to capture Trento, and as a result, three days passed and three days passed, and Trento was still Trento of Austria.

The artillery has already arrived at the front line, and there is still nothing to do. Even during this period, Marshal Bardogio sent reinforcements from another division, but no progress was made.

After an exchange of life-saving tips between the officers and soldiers, the casualty rate of the Sardinian army dropped dramatically, and the daily casualty toll was kept to within three digits.

Originally, the number of casualties decreased, which should be a good thing, but the problem is that the reduction in casualties is based on the premise that the soldiers passively avoid fighting, which is not wonderful.
