At the same time, the fires in the two places cannot be dealt with by the Hungarian government, and it cannot be dealt with by relying solely on violence. After all, Transylvania on the southern route is Hungary’s own land, can it not be broken into ruins? The Slovaks on the northern front are even more soft. Although the two sides confronted each other, they did not quarrel. Moreover, if the Hungarian government launches large-scale military operations without authorization, Austria’s attitude is hard to say. After all, the two places border, Austria is not. May let the chaotic situation affect itself, so if Hungary does it, Austria will definitely take action.
However, what makes Tisza more fearful is not just the rioting national independence movement in Hungary. The domestic economy and material supply put the country in a shaky state. Although Hungary has actually withdrawn from the war, the domestic supply situation is not Improvements have taken place, and a large amount of funds and materials are still used in the army. Before, it was fighting a foreign war, but now it is a civil war...
Moreover, during the war, Hungary's domestic production itself fell into a state of weakness, and this year's grain output is expected to be only two-thirds of the normal year. The price level has increased by more than two times, while wages have risen by less than 50%. It should be noted that the average wage level in Hungary in peacetime is not high. From 1900 to 1910, the average price has risen by 50%. % Above, and the wage level has hardly changed!
After the Hungarian government chooses to temporarily withdraw from the war, the central government's funding for war and material supplies will naturally decrease. After all, the Austrian army is still fighting for wars, and the war will continue. How can there be excess materials to feed the idlers? In Austria, materials and financial support have been reduced, and Hungary itself is experiencing endless civil strife. The situation in Hungary is even worse than when it participated in the war! After all, at that time, Austria was in the bottom line. The supply of food and fuel from Turkey can at least solve the food and clothing problem of Hungary.
Before Prime Minister Tisza decided to visit the Austrian emperor for the third time, the Hungarian Parliament discussed several issues specifically for the current situation. By now, seven or eight out of ten people have begun to miss the original dual empire policy. To be honest, it is Hungary, not Austria, that has the advantage of the dual empire policy, as the Hungarian Prime Minister Count Andrássy who signed the agreement said. That way: "We can get the same status as Austria by paying only 30% of the finances. What else can we not be satisfied with?"
"The news revealed by Vienna is already obvious. They want to change the dualistic regime and weaken Hungary's independence and sovereignty as a country. Personally, I can't bear this situation!" Count Andrassy the Younger in the Hungarian Parliament Said this.
"However, if we do not make a compromise, then what is waiting for Hungary is collapse." Prime Minister Tisza said.
"Then let the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire be buried! If there is no Great Hungary in this world, then what is the significance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Little Count Andrach said madly.
"However, Austria will not collapse, they can even get a piece of our corpse." Tisza said helplessly.
"The national problem is not the most terrible. Austria will not allow the proliferation of the Hungarian national problem. After all, Austria itself has more problems. The most frightening thing is that all of us here today have complete status, wealth and power. It may become a cloud of smoke, our people are already overwhelmed, if this situation continues, they can overthrow us, just like Russia now, we are all on the brink of a revolution!" Independence Party leader Albany The count pointed out the biggest problem in Hungary right now!
If the division of the country makes these people with Great Hungarianism feel mentally desperate, then once a revolution similar to 1848 breaks out, it will be physical death... After the revolution, I am afraid that few people sitting in the Hungarian parliament will survive! At the juncture of life and death, even if the leaders of the Hungarian government and parliament are unwilling, they must go to Vienna again, just for the ethereal hope! So Tisza and his party came to Vienna for the third time!
And this time, the Austrian emperor’s attitude towards Hungarian representatives was not as good as the previous two times. In the Austrian emperor’s view, the Hungarian rulers did not realize their own situation. It can be said that the whole The Austro-Hungarian Empire, not only Hungary, but even Austria, has reached the point where it cannot be sustained without change. Without change, even if there are no military and political problems, after the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be Such a problem and frail!
Yes, you read that right. This time, not only Hungary, but even Austria will have a major change. Not only will Princess Mary become Queen Mary, the government of the entire empire will change. According to the Prince’s The argument is that the dual empire has come to an end, and there is no way out to try to rule 9 nations with 2 nations! The best way is to establish a federal system similar to the United States.
As for why the prince made this opinion? The reason is simple. If the Allied Powers in World War I win, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire can obtain a large area of land including part of Russian Poland, part of the territory of Belarus, and Western Ukraine, even if it is said that has at least 30 About ten thousand square kilometers! And along with these territories, there are at least 15 to 18 million people!
Although Poland had allowed the Russians to clean up a large number of people before the war, although similar situations had occurred in Ukraine, even now the prince also signaled that the troops "facilitated" the Ukrainians to flee east when necessary, but, after all, these areas The population base of is really too big. And this does not include the Romanian area that the Hungarians want....
Take a look at the ethnic composition of these regions. Poles won’t talk about it. In Europe, the Poles’ feelings of independence and restoration are unparalleled. His firm position and the huge amount of effort made people feel embarrassed. If Ruprecht is not a German, I am afraid he would also like to praise the Poles.
The Romanians are not far behind, nor are they a stability factor. It is not only Romania, which is now occupied, but the Romanians in Transylvania are a headache for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Therefore, the prince’s attitude towards Romania is that it is better to let Bulgaria and even Turkey divide Romania, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can get a part of the purification troops to share the pressure. The same applies to Serbia.
