Chapter 1608： Surrender or die

Chapter 1608 Surrender or destroy 2

To be honest, in the early stages of the war, Hungary, which was influenced by expansionism, was very energetic at the beginning. Let alone the combat effectiveness of the army, from a subjective point of view, people can be regarded as wholeheartedly engaged in the war. This stage lasted about 6 months.

Then problems started. The Hungarian suddenly realized that the Russian army on the opposite side was so strong, and the situation on the battlefield was completely different from what he had imagined. Huge casualties and material loss caused a general adverse reaction in Hungary. In particular, the troops composed of ethnic minorities have even seen some local troops refuse to go to the front line to fight. They claim that they will only fight in the battle to defend their hometown and will not shed blood for others. (This has also appeared in history, but it appeared on the front with Italy)

However, with the support of Austria and Bavaria at this stage, although the main body of the Hungarian Legion is not as good as its combat effectiveness, its attitude can be considered sloppy. The performance of the defensive war is fair, and the offensive war can be beaten on the side drum. Until the end of 1912, the cooperation between the two parties was generally smooth.

The real disagreement occurred when Romania turned to the Allied Powers, and then when the Bavarian Army began to fight against Romania, Romania's entry into the Allied Powers gave the Hungarian government a chance to get rid of the biggest hidden danger! Because of the problems in Transylvania, Romania and Hungary are not pleasing to each other. Therefore, Hungary requested that its troops be transferred to fight on the border with Romania. This time, the Austrian Emperor still agreed.

Then, the weak Romanian army was pushed out by the Bavarian Army and the Hungarians within 2 months, and Hungary then took over most of the area. From this time on, the Hungarian Army began to slow down! Troops fighting on the Eastern Front were heavily used to establish the rule in Romania. On this issue, the Central Government’s General Staff Headquarters and the Hungarian military have a very unpleasant disturbance. Of course, under this dual system, Austria’s restrictions on Hungary are also relatively limited!

In fact, no matter how weak the Hungarian Legion is, if you take the defense seriously, the Russians will not be defeated in one wave. You must know that the Borusinov offensive on this plane is far worse than in history. After all, on this plane, it is difficult for the Russian army to break through even the position of the Austrian Army. What's more, there were three divisions sent by the Kaiser for help. As a result, after the forces were dispersed, the Hungarian Army was taught to behave in the first wave... This led to a series of problems.

Such a big matter should be said to have passed directly without being held accountable? how is this possible? ! To hold accountable, that is also the responsibility of the entire Hungarian government and military. You can say that their greed or shortsightedness and self-interest caused this disaster. And now, the heads of Hungary, without discussing the whole story, directly ask for assistance. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? !

The art of negotiation is not to make the negotiation impossible at any time. This is true even in situations where one has an advantage. Therefore, Emperor Franz made his own request.

"We can provide the strength of two divisions to deal with the rebels in Transylvania, but the Hungarian army should withdraw from Slovakia, where the central government will take over to maintain regional stability." The Austrian Emperor said.

"Does this mean that if we agree to your request, then Slovakia may disappear from the map of Hungary forever?" Prime Minister Tisza's words contained anger.

"And two divisions alone are not enough to deal with the Transylvanian rebellion. This is not enough. There are more than 30,000 rebels from Romania to Transylvania." Little Andra Count Xi said.

"Hungary will never sell its territory cheaply, nothing is impossible!" Count Albany said more directly.

"That means, we have nothing to talk about?" Ao Huang asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, this is the empire we want. You weren't like that before." Prime Minister Tisza said with great restraint. "Is it because of foreign support that made your mentality swell? Although Bavaria is strong, it is part of the German Empire after all. Do you want to restore the influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the German system?"

"Dear representatives of Hungary, although the bottom line of politicians is relatively low, there is no lower limit. Who can you rely on to stand in the capital of Romania? In order to obtain strong foreign aid for the empire, Austria paid a huge price. Bohemia and Moravia are considerations. While you are enjoying the benefits of Austria’s efforts, you still attack Austria harshly. Is this the empire I rule? Relatively speaking, the least It is Hungary who is accusing me of right, because in this field, you are only beneficiaries! Beneficiaries who have not paid any price!" The Austrian Emperor sneered.

"I once said that there is a price to do anything. The Bavarian Army’s help was obtained by Austria in exchange for the power of Bohemia and Moravia. Although Austria and Hungary are under the same banner, , There is absolutely no thing that does not assume obligations and only obtains benefits. Just like you must consider the interests of Hungary. I must also consider the entire imperial government and Austria. We cannot give in vain over and over again." The impatience was already revealed in the emperor's words.

"But Slovakia must be within Hungary's territory! Governance can be temporarily handed over to the central government Prime Minister Tisza naturally cannot let the negotiations fall into a deadlock, because now Hungary is no longer talking about profiting from abroad, even The inherent territories are difficult to keep. Now the 100,000 Hungarian army is still in Transylvania and Romanian circles. There are more than 50,000 troops on the northern line to maintain stability in Slovakia... Just this military expenditure Material loss is not something that Hungary can support now. If you have to give up one side, it is better to hand over Slovakia to Austria first.

"The Hungarian army completely withdrew from Slovakia. At the same time, Slovakia can be represented in the central government. Its status and handling methods are equivalent to Bohemia!" The Austrian Emperor made a counter-proposal.

"This is equivalent to having Slovakia on the territory, in fact we have already lost this place. And if Slovakia is represented in the center, it means that after the war, we will not be able to restore governance over Slovakia. "As an old fritters who has been in power for more than ten years, Tisza naturally knows what Franz is talking about. He was already lamenting God, why didn't this old guy die? !
