Chapter 1610： Surrender or die

Chapter 1610 Surrender or destroy (4)

"Prime Minister Tisza, if I remember correctly, besides the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, you are also the chairman of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Hungary? And you, Count Andrássy the Younger, you are also the board of directors of the Rimau Mulani Steel Group. Members? By the way, there is also the Esterhazy family, the biggest landlord in Hungary. In the splendid agricultural prosperity at the end of the last century, they made at least a few hundred million crowns of wealth, right? Why? Now, When it comes to the kingdom’s survival, don’t you want to spit out some to save your country?” At this time, the Austrian Emperor was not only ridiculed, but even angry!

It can only be said that Hungary is too much on the issue of wealth concentration. Although everyone has become monopoly imperialism, the situation of monopoly is still different. The monopoly of the Wittelsbach family in Bavaria is state monopoly. The state accounts for the majority, and capitalists share part of the profits. At the same time, they re-adjust the flow of profits through policy measures. Somewhat similar to the welfare society of later generations.

There are more people in Austria, and there are no traversers like Ruprecht and no black technology, but they still follow Bismarck's social welfare and education to meet the needs of ordinary people as much as possible. To be more popular means that when the country's economy is developing at a high speed, the people can share some benefits. So the contradiction is not tense.

(Let me talk about Bismarck here. This prime minister can be said to be the founder of the German welfare society. Although he opposes capitalist democracy, he considers the interests of the people. And William II can be said to be lip service to the interests of the people. . What he cares more about is the attitude of the party.)

But what about Hungary....... Well, after they entered the era of monopoly capitalism, they did not consider the interests of the people. From 1900 to 1910, prices generally rose by 50%, but people's wages remained almost unchanged, and there were almost no social benefits. During the war, prices increased twice! Although people's wages have increased by 50%. But the purchasing power is still declining. More importantly, many products are already priceless and can only be purchased on the black market. It is hard to say how many shady products there are. Therefore, even in the opinion of the Austrian emperor, if the Hungarian ruling class still does not want to bleed, it is really dead, and the dead cannot be saved by others!

"Your Majesty, if you really intend to do this, you will lose the support of the entire Hungarian government. You have harmed the interests of too many people, and there may be things that you and we absolutely do not want to see. "Prime Minister Tisza can't refute, and he really can't refute it, because whoever comes here today has nothing to do with monopoly capitalists and big landlords? The entire Hungarian government is aristocratic! (The vitality of Hungarian aristocratic politics is amazing. Even in the era when Horti became the regent in history, Hungarian politics was still aristocratic politics, and even called it a similar caste system in some works. The formation of unattainable and unattainable Closed Hungarian aristocratic society)

"Keep in mind the lessons of 1848!" After the Austrian Emperor finished speaking, he stopped saying anything. He closed his eyes, and then made a gesture to indicate that they can leave. He has said enough today and should say I've said it all, I'll say it all!

"It seems that we have reached the point of life and death." After returning to the place where he was staying, Prime Minister Tisza didn't even have the thought of cursing, and he felt despair and fear. Especially the last words of the old emperor, keeping in mind the lessons of 1848, when was 1848? It was an era when killing aristocrats was like killing a dog. It does not need to consider the outcome of the war, as long as he knows that Hungary is currently facing a national crisis and revolution. As a politically talented person in the past, he knew that sometimes he had to make a decision.

"Will Fritz really watch Hungary go towards destruction? If this is the case, we would rather be independent!" Count Andrássy the Younger gritted his teeth.

"Today is independent, and tomorrow is over! At this time, even if we cannot get support from Austria, we must maintain the unity on the surface! We need the Austrian flag. If we leave the empire, the Slovaks will not hesitate Choosing to join Austria, at least the latter can give them a bowl of food. Romanians will get worse, they will not trouble the Germans, but they will surely upset Transylvania! And the Croatians, they will too Choose to rely on Austria instead of us. Hungary is really over!" Tisza East said weakly.

"Then what should we do now?" Count Andrassy asked.

"Do you still trust me and are willing to support me?" Prime Minister Tisza said, looking at Count Andrage the Younger and Count Albany.

"For Hungary. My party and I will support you and your government as always." Count Albany said firmly. But the young Count Andrach was silent.

"First, we must appease the domestic farmers. Our workers account for only 13% of the total population. More than 60% of the people are agricultural population. 1.28 million farmers have less than 5.5% of the cultivated land in the country. This is too little. It must be changed."

"I think that now we must use coercive means to buy land from private individuals and churches The part of private land exceeding 500 Holt and church land exceeding 200 Holt is forcibly purchased by the government and then distributed to landless And farmers with little land.” Prime Minister Tisza didn't say all the plans behind, but only a part. He looked at the young Count Andrach, hoping to get his approval.

"You are tantamount to offending the nobles of tens of thousands of families." Little Earl Andrahi said. "Perhaps, when you make this request in the parliament, I am afraid that is when you step down."

To be honest, Tisza Eastwan and Count Andrássy the Younger are not of the same class at all. Regardless of the high political status of the Tisza family, both father and son were prime ministers, but they were not of great aristocratic origin. The Tisza family were just squires who believed in Calvinism. And what about the little Earl Andrahi? The family is one of the oldest noble families in Hungary. The so-called **** decides the head, little Andrahi naturally sneered at Prime Minister Tisza's method. In his opinion, this knife could not cut the Tisza family, but it would definitely fall on him!

(This policy exists in history, but it was proposed by the capitalist government after the Hungarian Revolution.)
