Chapter 500

Leopold sneered and asked, "So that's how it is. Then why did you call us here today? Is it just to let everyone listen to a speech?

I admit that Mr. Kossuth's speech just now was wonderful, but everyone is tired of listening to this kind of speech. Why don't we change it? "

Kossuth's face was gloomy. He couldn't say that he was worried that they were unreliable and would become traitors at any time. Now that the Government of Austria had confiscated their land, everyone was in the same boat.

It was good that everyone knew these things. If the window paper was pierced, how could they get along?

Don't think that just because these great nobles seemed to have suffered heavy losses, they were like tigers that had fallen to the plains and could be bullied by dogs. In fact, the strength they had was not weak at all.

"Your Excellency, enough!"

"Austria has raised the butcher's knife. What we need now is unity. If you want to pursue responsibility, I can resign.

Everyone, who thinks that they have the ability to lead the Republic of Hungary out of its predicament, I can give up the position of president to someone more capable! "

In his anger, Kossuth decided to quit in a fit of pique. Everyone's face changed. At this time, it was not easy to be the president of the Republic of Hungary. At least, Duke Leopold was not interested.

Everyone knew that it was not easy to be the president of the Republic of Hungary. Historically, when the Government of Austria decided to suppress it by force, the Hungarian government closed down, and then the revolutionary party led by Kossuth took power.

Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the situation of the Republic of Hungary was even worse. No one wanted to stand out, so Kossuth became the head of state.

Because the support rate was too low, Kossuth's prestige in the government was not high, and many nobles did not take him seriously.

It looked like a child's pique, but was this not Kossuth's struggle?

No matter how many shortcomings Kossuth had and how naive his political views were, he was the founder of the Hungarian nation.

Seeing that the situation was not right, another noble representative, Marquis Luoqi, stood up and changed the topic.

"Well, let's not talk about the past anymore. The most important thing is to think about how to deal with the current situation. If you want to fight, make a decision with everyone!"

There was no doubt that the revolutionary party led by Kossuth was the pro-war party. Most of these people were idealists and young college students, while the weak nobles and capitalists were the pro-peace party.

Kossuth said with a livid face, "Do we still need to think about this? The Government of Vienna is breaking up Hungary. Even if we can reach an agreement with Austria, Hungary will only have less than 35% of its territory and less than 40% of its population.

If we stay in Austria, we won't even be able to keep our current status. Are we going to watch the Austrians exploit us every day? "

Kossuth also knew that he had been too naive. Because of the opposition of the nobles, he had not solved the land problem. Because of the opposition of the new capitalists, he had not solved the ethnic problem.

Yes, the Republic of Hungary's bad national policy was because the new capitalists were worried about competition.

Even though the Croatians, Romanians, and Slovaks didn't have the strength to compete with them, they still had the ability to do so.

However, once they obtained equal rights in politics, competition would soon arise. The Republic of Haili was too small to accommodate so much competition, so they had no choice but to suppress their opponents in advance.

This had been proven in the Austrian Empire. Because of the political advantage, almost all of the country's industries were controlled by the Germans. The Hungarian capitalists also survived by relying on tariffs and local protectionism.

Driven by interests, ultra-nationalism became the mainstream ideology in Hungary, which made other ethnic minorities in the country very dissatisfied. After the olive branch extended by the Vienna government, everyone decisively changed sides.

Kossuth's words had awakened the new capitalists. For their own interests and heads, they had to support the government's war with the Austrians. Only by winning could they get everything they wanted.

Although the possibility of winning was very low, they were already on board. The Government of Vienna might be lenient to the nobles, but there was no reason to be lenient to the capitalists.

Unfortunately, as the earliest capitalists, they couldn't be any blacker. They were all real cases of unscrupulous capitalists in history books. Not only could killing them earn a fortune, but they could also buy the hearts of the people.

"Mr. Kossuth, now that Hungary is surrounded by enemies, how should we fight this war?" Marquis Loki asked with concern.

There was no doubt that Marquis Loki did this on purpose. As a great noble of Hungary, Marquis Loki was not afraid of the Government of Vienna's liquidation.

As long as the House of Habsburg still controlled the power of Austria, it was impossible to kill the great nobles. This was the advantage of having many relatives.

Without the pressure to survive, the great nobles' considerations were different from the capitalists'. Their main purpose was to stop losses.

After that, Marquis Loki opened the map he had prepared. On the map, Hungary was sandwiched between the three major powers of Russia, Osman, and Austria. The location was clearly marked.

There was no doubt that Hungary was surrounded by enemies. Russia and Austria were allies, and the Tsarist government had publicly announced that it would help Austria and Prussia suppress the revolution. They were not enemies, but enemies.

They could not ask for help from their good neighbor, the Osman Empire, could they? If they wanted to fight side by side with the Osman, they would probably fight first before the Austrians did.

"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, but the enemy is not without weaknesses. Now that the Government of Austria is still fighting with the Italian Federation, this is our opportunity." Kossuth suggested a plan that he thought was reasonable.

Yes, in theory, this was indeed an opportunity. The simplest military solution was to break them one by one.

However, Duke Leopold shook his head and sighed. "Mr. Kossuth, this is not feasible in military terms. The enemy is not a fool. They will not give us so much time to break them one by one."

Kossuth laughed. "Your Excellency, as long as we have enough troops, we can hold off the enemies from other directions.

Austria is strong and fragile at the same time. As long as we win once, it will cause a chain reaction, and the climax of the revolution will erupt again! "

Everyone understood that Kossuth had gone around in a big circle just to get money!
