"Well, the Austrian Emperor believes that the dual empire is not suitable for the current situation. It is indeed a very important factor to strengthen the centralization of power. Then? Are there any problems between you and your government?"
"Answer me, since the establishment of the Dual Empire, why is Hungary, which has an area of 300,000 square kilometers, inferior to Bavaria, which has an area of only 78,000 square kilometers? Why is Hungary’s industry less than one-third of the latter’s? Since hundreds of years ago, it has served as a land barrier for the entire Europe, fighting with the once powerful Ottoman Turk Empire for hundreds of years. The Hungarian Legion, known as the warrior, has now become a piece of sand, and even Romanians can ride on us. On the head?! Watching this fertile land become what it is now, and seeing the magnificence of the noble district next to you and the desolation of the slums, don’t you feel a little touched? You and I know that in this world , Weakness is the original sin!"
"Some are clamoring to restore the former glory of St. Esteban’s crown all day long, clamoring to build a strong Hungary, but what are they actually doing? When people are still thinking about celebrating the 1000th anniversary of Hungary’s founding in 1896, As everyone knows, in this colorful and fascinating scenery, the whole of Hungary has become a pool of stagnant water, and it has lost any motivation to move forward!"
"The nobles have also blocked the ascending passages for hundreds of years, and madly invaded the kingdom's resources like parasites. We wantonly squeezed other peoples and tried to rule others in a manner similar to serfs. When someone pointed out that this would not work. Sometimes, you often say that the Kingdom of Hungary has existed for 1,000 years, so it can continue to exist in the future!"
"That's good, look now." Morris took a few steps to the balcony, opened the curtains and pointed to Budapest, which was caught in flames and smoke, and said: "This is the result! There is no immutable system in this world. , There is no crown that will never land! Every country is as if it is against the current. A country that does not know what to change and cannot become stronger will eventually be eliminated by time! This is a materialistic world, not ideal, and it will not be because Do whatever you want!"
"You can't make Hungary really strong, so you are a loser! You can't let the Hungarian people live a good life, but fell into civil strife in order to fight for power, so you are the sinners of the nation!" Morris finally said.
"That's why you took refuge in the Austrian Emperor? They are Austrians! They are abolishing Hungary's independence. They have divided our country and tried to deprive us of our rights!" Tisza retorted.
"So, you can refuse Austria's request! No one is forcing you! If you think Austria is an aggressor, you can organize an army to drive them out of Hungarian territory! Believe my count, the whole of Hungary, even if Crazy people don’t have this idea! You have been ignoring a problem. Hungary under the governance of you and your government is not strong, and weak people have no right to decide their own destiny. Look at your government, why consider it Over the interests of the lower class of Hungarian people? You can advertise yourself as the spokesperson of the Hungarian nation, but even Hungarians only think that you and your previous government can only represent a small group of nobles!" Morris said loudly.
"If you even have one-third of the level of His Royal Highness Prince Ruprecht, then based on the size and resource endowment of the Kingdom of Hungary, not to mention reaching the level of France, then at least it is much better than Italy, right? For many years, the Hungarian government has done nothing! The so-called era of economic and cultural revival in Hungary is a complete joke compared to the achievements of Bavaria in the north! Bavaria is now an existence that even the Kaiser must pay attention to! Bavaria’s external environment is more relaxed, and internal conditions were better at the beginning, but look at how big the gap is between us now? Those who chant to restore Hungary’s past glory are Hungary’s greatest enemy. They are just disguising a slogan. It's just crazy stealing power and wealth!" Morris said sharply.
Morris conducted this negotiation completely according to the routine given above. As a Hungarian, national independence and the so-called "Crown Territory of St. Esteban" are national justice! This is also one of the banners of those nobles, rulers and even the radical bourgeoisie. It is not easy to convince Tisza from this aspect. This is the so-called moral high ground. No matter how many foreign titles the Esterhazy family has, as a Hungarian nobleman, Morris obviously cannot attack head-on. It is also impossible to deny the existence of the Kingdom of Hungary from history, although the crown of the Kingdom of Hungary has reached the top of the Habsburg family hundreds of years ago...
Therefore, the Austrian Emperor or the think tank behind the Austrian Emperor gave Morris such a doctrine, okay You said that you represent the Hungarian nation, and you said that you want to restore Hungary to its former glory, then you do Reached? No? !
History has given you decades of time for peaceful development. As a result, Hungary has fallen into this situation now. Who will bear the responsibility? In terms of area, Austria and Hungary are about the same in terms of population. Even if Austria has a better foundation, Hungary will bear less expenses. During the same period of war, Hungary was under even less pressure on the war. Why is it that Austria is all right now, but Hungary has turned the sky first? ! This is obviously the pot of you rulers!
So, from this point of view, Morris also started from the perspective of Hungary, but came to the conclusion that Tisza and his noble government were a group of scum in the past governing period! Of course, this is indeed the case. Although Hungary did make progress during the dual empire, the gap between you and other countries is not narrowing but widening. Then, as soon as a war is fought, all problems erupt!
As for Morris's rhetoric, Earl Tisza really couldn't deny it. Because when everyone knows the virtues of the Hungarian government, he really can’t clean up the problems of the Hungarian government. Even Prime Minister Tisza himself may be cleaner than Count Oberny and Count Andrassy the Younger. But it is also inescapable. And the biggest problem is that Prime Minister Tisza can no longer defend himself with the banner of Hungarian nationalism. Morris's words mean the same thing. You guys are ashamed to say that you are for the Hungarian Kingdom and for the Hungarian nation? !
