Chapter 387： Romania-Hungary merger?

In Kaposvár in southern Hungary, the flag of the Republic of Hungary is still flying here. Kaposvár is one of the few territories of the Hungarian Republic that was overthrown from its rule in Budapest.

As the Hungarian regime, the government of the Republic, which has been in power less than five months ago, is undoubtedly a failure. Looking at the Soviet government gradually sweeping the country, these republicans can only look at their opponents full of resentment, and are supported by the people everywhere. Only they know the taste of it.

If there is no external intervention, it is a matter of time before they are swept into the historical garbage dump. Fortunately, there are still many neighboring countries around Hungary, especially at this time, all countries are very wary of the Communist Party.

So when news came that surrounding countries were planning to intervene in the Hungarian revolution, these republicans in Kaposvár seemed to have grasped the last straw. And when the Romanian army of 200,000 crossed the Tisza River and successively took Szeged and Szolnok, the republicans present cheered and rushed to tell each other.

In the city hall, senior members of the Republican government are currently discussing the impact of this matter on them. However, unlike the lower-level officials who only know to cheer the intervention from the Allied Powers, the high-level government present is less optimistic.

"The Communist Party of Bella Kuhn and others is going to destroy Hungary. Look at the reactions of the surrounding countries. These thugs are sinners in Hungary."

A senior government official present bitterly reprimanded the Hungarian Communists in Budapest. From his eyes, we can see the pleasure and hatred, as well as a trace of reluctance.

"Okay Miners. The worst thing for Hungary has happened, and we need to discuss how to solve this problem."

The leader of the Independence Party for 4.8 years, Caroli Mihai, who presided over the meeting, had to interrupt the education minister. For Caroli, who is currently the president of the government, such remarks are too much. Every day, I can hear words about Hungary’s prospects, as if it is not enough to show my patriotic enthusiasm without saying some pessimistic words. But when asked what they could do, they could only hesitate and couldn't even let out a fart.

As for Caroli, who was born in an aristocratic family and served as a member of parliament and president of parliament, isn't this the kind of performance of parliament. This situation is too long to see in Parliament, but as a government agency, it cannot be like a Parliament.

Miners, who was interrupted by Caroli, could only sit down obediently. Who left him with no solution?

At this time, Kordamik, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stood up and said: "I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to be recognized by the Allies. As long as the Allies recognize us, then returning to Budapest will not be a problem."

Kordamick's words were approved by Carrolli. It is true that they have held diplomatic posts for generations, and it is indeed a family history. They pointedly pointed out the problems that currently plague them.

But at this time someone jumped out and objected: "To get the approval of the Allies, but to sign the indemnity treaty. Looking at what happened to Germany, we are not as good as Germany. I know that Romania alone will cede the territory east of the Tisza River. Such a treaty will be nailed to the shame after signing."

These words made the hall immediately agitated.

"This is not true, is it?"

"President Caroli, is this news true?"

"Kordamek, you are in charge of diplomacy. Tell us about the conditions of the Allies."

It was the first time for many people present to know this news, and they were very emotional and tried to get accurate information.

"bump"

Caroli, who presided over the meeting, saw the lively meeting place like a vegetable market. He couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore. He slammed the table and roared: "Okay, it's all quiet."

Everyone who was startled by Carroll's astonishing behavior was quiet, and they all looked at the maddening President.

After calming down his anger, Carolli said gravely: "I know that you are unwilling to give up, and I am not feeling well. However, the innocent Hungarians do not allow us to wait any longer. They are still suffering under the evil rule of the Communist Party. Yes. Yes, what Mars said just now is true. And we will lose not only the territories east of the Tisza River, but also the territories of Croatia and Slovenia. If they do not accept the request of the Allies, they will continue to fight with us. Everyone People who understand Hungary, if we continue to fight, in addition to causing more losses to the people, we might even lose our own country. This is not impossible. It is said that the Entente countries are still discussing one if we do not agree, let the surrounding countries divide it. The whole Hungary plan."

Caroli said at the end of the plan to carve up Hungary. In fact, the Allies did not have a plan to support the new government.

But for those present, it is impossible for them to find the giants of the Allied powers far away in Paris to inquire. So for the shocking news that Carroll broke out, all the people in the venue could only hear the sound of breathing, and they were all overwhelmed by the news. After a long time someone finally asked, "Is there no other way?"

As for why he didn't ask if it was true, did he rush to Paris to ask the Big Three in person. And even if you ask, you can only get a denial, who will tell the person to be enforced of the secret plan.

Faced with this sentence, Caroli could only sigh and say: "Accepting the proposal of the Allied Powers, this is our best way at the moment."

Caroli's words filled the hearts of those present with sadness. When did the descendants of the Magyars suffer such suffering. As for the decision to resist the Allied Powers, look at it before the United States, Britain, France and other countries take their turn. The neighboring countries have already expressed their attitudes with actions. Let's talk about the resistance of the little Hungary in the face of the Entente of half the world.

Just when everyone was sad about this, a voice came from behind. "Maybe we still have a way?"

Everyone looked at the place where the sound was made, and it turned out that it was a clerk who was in charge of recording.

Seeing that a clerk was speaking, Kordamik, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, scolded: "What can you do, don't make trouble."

Kordamik's reprimand made the young clerk bow his head.

At this time, Miners, who was the Minister of Education, relieved the clerk instead.

"It's okay to listen, anyway, we have no other way, maybe we can get inspiration from it."

After speaking, Minnes patted the clerk on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name?"

"Hermons."

"Mr. Hermons, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, speak your mind boldly."

After being encouraged, this Mr. Hermons put together his thoughts and said: "At present, what we are worried about is the division of Hungarian territory and the issue of future compensation. I think since we can't afford it, why not find a country to help me share it. What?"

Hermons' words caused a roar of laughter, and many people joked: "Why do other countries want to help us share the burden."

"You think you are God, so if you ask others to share it, you can share it."

Seeing the roar of laughter in the council room, even though Caroli felt unreliable, he interrupted by knocking on the table in order to maintain order on the scene: "It's all quiet, listen to this Hermons finish."

With Carroll's maintenance, the laughter in the conference room gradually subsided. Hermons, who was ridiculed by the crowd with a flushed face, glanced at Carolly gratefully, and then he said his thoughts.

"If you just ask for it, no country is willing to help us. What if we are the same country as them?"

None of the people present were stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of Caroli's words. At this time, Kordamik, who is in charge of diplomacy, asked for confirmation: "Are you talking about merging with another country?"

"Yes it is."

Hermons continued to explain: "It's a merger like the previous empires."

Hermons energized everyone's minds. At first glance, this proposal was completely unreliable, but there are many benefits to careful thinking. First of all, the punishment imposed by Hungary can be reduced and exempted; second, the Hungarians can use this time to restore the hard-hit economy; third, with a sufficient population, Hungary can even completely dominate this new country in the future. fourth,…………

The more people think about it, the more they feel that this plan is feasible.

However, there is a prerequisite for this plan. It must be a country that has the strength to accept them. When everyone looked around, Austria definitely couldn't do it in the surrounding countries, and no one would agree to the continued existence of the shrinking Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Serbia?

This does not work either. It was the war between them and the Austro-Hungarian Empire that triggered this war. If they merged with them, they would not be oppressed to death.

Czech Republic, Poland?

Both are independent countries and have insufficient capacity to protect Hungary from being punished, and these two have also been ruled out.

In the end there is only one choice, Romania?

It can inject vitality into Hungary economically, protect Hungary militarily, and the Romanian royal family is still a branch of Germany. More importantly, Romania is a member of the Allied Powers, which can minimize their punishment. It is simply a perfect choice.

When everyone discussed the candidate for the merger of the country, everyone present felt that this was a very good and reasonable proposal. At this time, some people raised their doubts: "But at present, the Romanians are driving our tribes east of the Tisza River, which has a great influence in the country. This proposal may be difficult for the public to accept and At this time, Kordamik stood up and explained: "What is hard to accept. As long as we propose to merge, the Hungarians have the right to recover their belongings lost in this expulsion operation. Then I believe that this small request will be accepted by Romania. "

Kordamik's words led everyone to nod and make some reasonable suggestions in the merged area, which would definitely be accepted. Besides, does this require Romania to spend a lot of money to appease the new region?

Then the people present continued to discuss happily, discussing the new plan according to the power of Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Among those present, only two people did not participate in this discussion. One is Hermons, who made this suggestion. As a clerk, he wants to join a group of high-level discussions. This is too realistic. Although this proposal was made by him.

The other is Admiral Jordi Miklos who currently holds the military power of the Republican government. As the last commander of the Austro-Hungarian navy, Horti seemed to see these people as a group of frogs at the bottom of the well. It's just that now he needs the coat of the Republican government to wrap himself.
