"War must serve politics" is the best excuse Franz came up with. We can't say that we are worried about history repeating itself. The Hungarians suddenly burst out and pushed the Bohemia Legion backward?

No one believed this. The Bohemian Legion had a 100,000 army. Even if it was 50% off, there would be 50,000 regular army. How many Hungarian troops are there in Budapest now?

There are many nominal troops in the Hungarian Republic, but in fact, Kosut can support the operation very limited. Local governments at all levels have National Self-Defense Forces, and many of them are empty.

The Kosut government has gathered some of the defeated soldiers on the front line. The total nominal force of Budapest reached 80,000. On average, two or three men and three men have a gun and have no morale, how effective can the troops can have?

Prince Wendyschgretz is a soldier and a politician, so he naturally would not refute this statement.

"Your Highness, is it because the government has any plans?"

Franz smiled and said, "Prince, have you forgotten the Italian battlefield?"

Prince Wendyschgretz nodded, and although he did not think the Kingdom of Sardinia was a trouble, he would not refuse to win the war more easily.

The main forces of Austria came out together, the Hungarian Republic was in danger, and the Kingdom of Sardinia would not attack Venice in the future, so what they would have to face in the future would not be 100,000 Austrian troops, but perhaps 200,000 or 300,000.

There can be no more. Suppressing the Hungarian rebellion is a local war, and the Habsburg family did not make the country angry and resentful. Only with the people's foundation can it support a war of this scale.

"Appoint the troops on the front line to take steady steps and advance step by step, and don't leave any opportunity for the enemy!" Franz added

...

The territory of the Kingdom of Hungary is actually not small, with a total area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers, more than three times that of the later Hungarian Republic.

At this time, two-thirds of the regions had already turned to the Austrian government. From a political perspective, the previous political offensive of the Vienna government was very successful.

The Bohemia Legion, which is closest to Budapest, is only a few dozen kilometers away, while the Transylvanian Legion, which is the farthest, is no more than three hundred kilometers away from Budapest.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Hungarian government has been in panic and many people have regretted it.

Austria's reaction was much bigger than they expected. Normal operations were not to send police to arrest people first, and after failure, thousands of troops were sent to suppress them. Then they failed and then continued to increase their troops...

In short, the Hungarian Republic relied on brushing Austrian copies and constantly won victories, and then forced the Austrian government to recognize their independence. This is the Kosut government's reference to the American War of Independence, the imagined Hungarian War of Independence.

There may be setbacks here, they may encounter failures, and the final victory must belong to the Hungarian Republic.

The highest level of fraud is to deceive yourself.

Well, they may not be liars, but they did compile such a beautiful dream. If such a dream did not exist, it would not support them to get to the present.

Unfortunately, the director got the wrong script at the beginning. He was obviously a copy of a novice who gave him experience upgrades, but suddenly it turned into a copy of hell and directly fought against the big boss, but they were only level 0?

Budapest

Due to the situation, Kosut had to seek help from his biggest political opponent, Earl Eastfan.

Isterfan Seccheni, one of the Hungarian nobles, is also Hungary's greatest reformer and has a high reputation in the country.

Unlike Kosut who is promoted by speeches, he is a practical worker who has made outstanding contributions in education, transportation, culture, politics, economy and other fields. He is known as the greatest person in Hungary.

Facts have proved that practical people cannot speak out in terms of influence, so the Hungarian Republic was founded, because Isterfan was still loyal to the emperor and opposed any violent revolution.

Politically, Easterfan believes that any economic, political and social reform must be carried out slowly and carefully to avoid unpredictable consequences.

Suth advocated the establishment of a rapidly industrialized country, while Isterfan advocated the preservation of traditional powerful agriculture and continued to follow the path of agricultural state.

The biggest conflict between the two sides is on ethnic issues. Isterfan believes that Hungary is a multi-ethnic country, and people are divided by language, culture and religion, and it is very dangerous to promote nationalism.

He believes that what Hungary needs at the beginning is a step-by-step economic, social and cultural progress, and opposes excessive radicalism and nationalism.

Facts have proved that the nationalism promoted by Kossuth is no longer working, and the Vienna government has easily internalized Hungary.

At no cost, Kosut had to seek help from his longing political opponents.

"Her Earl, for the future of the 13 million people of the Hungarian Republic, I will invite you to come out!"

Isterfan shook his head and said after a while: "Your Hungarian Republic does not have more than 13 million people, and there may not even be 500,000 people. The rest are His Majesty Ferdinand's subjects!"

The invisible pretending to be B slap the most in the face, and Isterfan directly named the real reason why the Hungarian Republic was in trouble.

Because the government implemented radical ethnic policies, the ethnic minorities in the Hungarian Republic chose to continue to be loyal to the emperor.

The republican government did not solve the land problem, and then the peasants decided to be loyal to the emperor; the republican government did not consider the interests of the working class, and then the working class decided to be loyal to the emperor.

The last thing left was the capitalists and nobles. There was no doubt that a considerable number of people here were still loyal to the emperor, and not many people truly recognized the Hungarian Republic.

"Emperor, now the Hungarian Republic has been established, and the Austrian army is about to come. Do you have the heart to just look at Hungary as if it were done?" Kosut asked angrily.

Isterfan said calmly: "Mr. Kosut, don't say that these are useless. I started to join the army at the age of 17. During this period, I participated in the anti-French war and stayed in the army for 18 years before retiring.

I know more about military affairs than you. From a military perspective, I don’t see any possibility of victory. Tell me, what can I do now?

Of course, if you want to give up your independence and prepare to negotiate with the Vienna government, that's another matter!"

Kosut's face was gloomy and terrible. Although he also agreed with Esterfan's statement deep down, he could not admit it in his mouth.

As the head of the Hungarian Republic, he had no choice but to fight to the end. Peace talks mean the end of his political life.
