By mid-May, there was a large-scale outage of food in Budapest, and the high prices had plundered the last wealth in the people's pockets.

In order to stabilize the order, the Republican government had to start implementing a food rationing system.

At this time in Budapest, vegetables and fruits became luxury goods, and meat products also left the dining tables of ordinary people and became exclusively provided by nobles.

The government can provide only the most basic ones of 500 grams of black bread per person per day, plus 300 grams of potatoes and 200 grams of corn.

With just such a little material, the bureaucrats in the government are still making profits, and lacking weight is just a routine operation.

There are black bread with more black hearts, including leaves, wood chips and other impurities, potatoes that have changed color, colorful corn, and people with poor digestive system may die at any time after eating these foods.

Only unexpected things, but not impossible, the integrity of the Republican government officials can be regarded as a model of the capitalist world.

The food shortage in Budapest was limited to the lower class. For the ruling class, they were not short of food. Although the enemy had already arrived, their banquets had never stopped.

They even began to plunder the wealth of the middle class and petty bourgeoisie through the underground black market. The price of food has been fryed to the sky, and a piece of black bread without additives requires silver coins of equal weight.

In an ordinary residential house in Budapest City, you only need 50 kilograms of bread to buy at this time; even a bustling shop can only cost hundreds of kilograms of bread at most.

In the corner of the city, street girls are everywhere, and they can get their services just if they need a piece of black bread or a potato.

In order to reduce food consumption, the revolutionary government has successively expelled the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the city from June. Lieutenant General Julius accepted the group of refugees with a smile and properly resettled them.

Franz attaches importance to propaganda, and journalists from major Austrian media were invited to come over. They waved their cameras to take photos from various angles. These are important evidence to expose the crimes of the Revolutionary Party.

Now there is no need for the government to take action. Looking at these pale and thin war refugees, they heard their complaints about the atrocities of the Hungarian Republic government. The media, who are "full of justice", are all scrambling to scold the unscrupulous Hungarian revolutionary government.

The Hungarian composer Liszt, the most powerful Hungarian composer in the Ming Dynasty, also got involved in the reporter's ranks. The more he knew, the more he was hurt.

Not only him, but many literati and poets came over, including some supporters of the revolutionary party. The scenes in front of everyone made everyone die directly about the revolutionary party.

The literati's pen was killed without blood. With everyone's joint efforts, the Hungarian revolution was redefined this time.

Kosut and others who were trapped in Budapest did not know that their reputation was already bad. Tens of thousands of people submitted petitions to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could uphold justice for them.

Of course, Franz took the initiative and accepted the petition from the people, clearly stated that he would conduct a public trial of all the rebels, and invited the victims to serve as juries, and the jury voted to decide the final sentencing.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is the Austrian government killing all the revolutionaries.

How could this group of victims beg for the Revolutionary Party alive now?

The final result is that the killing will surely be a rush. The trial will be conducted in the name of the people. No matter how many people are killed, the Austrian government cannot be blamed.

Of course, this is limited to one time. In the future, Austria will inevitably be a legal country and it is impossible for it to be so willful again.

Before the Great Revolution, Hungary and Austria were managed separately, and many laws in the two places were different. Hungary's laws were inappropriate and Austrian laws were not implemented locally. Franz could take advantage of loopholes to hand over the sentencing rights to the people.

...

Seeing that the revolutionary fires everywhere were extinguished and the only ally of the Kingdom of Sardinia was beaten with one hand by Austria, the revolutionaries were also thinking about their way out.

The Austrian army suddenly stopped attacking Budapest, which surprised the revolutionaries, and Kosut's first thought was his inner support.

The Habsburg family has never lacked supporters in Hungary, and there are also royalists in Budapest. In addition, there are no fewer nobles and capitalists who want to re-speculate.

Once these people are activated, Budapest will change hands in an instant.

The revolutionary party's foundation was too shallow and it was divided into different groups. Before 1847, the largest revolutionary group had no more than three digits.

After the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the revolutionary team expanded a hundred times, and most of these people were ashamed of the revolutionary party. In fact, the revolutionary party had no binding force on them at all.

The sequelae of rapid growth of the team broke out. Without a strict revolutionary organization and a unified political program, most people became members of the revolutionary party when they were angry or embarrassed to refuse when they were recommended by an acquaintance.

No one wants to die, and the revolutionaries are no exception. The Austrian army is not in a hurry to attack, but the internal contradictions of the Hungarian Republican government are intensifying.

After a series of failures, the prestige of Kosut, the head of state, had dropped to the critical point. The opposition could no longer bear him, and even his subordinates began to doubt his abilities.

The Hungarian National Self-Defense Forces expanded too quickly and mixed into the various religions and all kinds of religions. Kosut did not restrain him. Finally, this mob ignited the dispute.

On June 8, a company of the National Revolutionary Army rushed into the home of Earl Isterfan under the order of Kosut, labeled Earl Isterfan as a counter-revolutionary, and executed dozens of people, including the Earl, looted all the money and goods, and brought all the young women back to the barracks for lewd fun.

Things are going on. Earl Isterfan is not an ordinary nobleman. He was honored by the Hungarians in later generations: the greatest person in Hungary, can such a person be killed at will?

You know, there have been many internal conflicts since the founding of the Hungarian Republic. Kosut personally asked Count Isterfan to mediate, but now he has been executed for the crime of counter-revolution?

At the Hungarian government meeting on June 9, the opposition led by Shemir went directly to attack.

"Mr. Kosut, I want to ask who authorized you to convict Earl of Easterfan? And why did you execute a great nobleman? What is the explanation for the atrocities that took place in the Earl's Mansion?"

Kosut's heart was broken, and the conscience of heaven and earth, when did he order the execution of Earl Isterfan?

But the matter had already happened. The National Self-Defense Forces did it under his banner. The company commander involved was no longer found, and the truth of the matter could no longer be restored.
