Chapter 1704: Vienna Court
Chapter 1704 Vienna Court
"In other words, until now, have the Hungarian nobles and the bourgeoisie decided to use force to resolve their differences?" After reading the report sent by the attendant, Emperor Franz whispered to himself.
"Then Mary, what do you think of this matter?" Emperor Franz turned around and asked, since she has decided to train her daughter to become the empress of the empire, she must learn to handle all kinds of complicated matters. And now, he wanted to see what Princess Mary thought.
"Everything is proceeding according to our plan. The struggle within the Hungarian Empire has reached the final juncture. This struggle will exhaust their last strength, and by that time, it is time for us to do it. Now, we should consolidate and consolidate Stabilize the areas that have already been obtained, and at the same time concentrate forces and supplies, and be ready to intervene in Hungary's internal affairs at any time. I personally feel that neither Count Albany nor Senator Assi can cooperate with us." Princess Mary thought for a while and said. .
"Why?" Emperor Fritz asked with interest.
"Because they all have their own political parties, have strengths to rely on, and have a certain foundation in Hungary. What we need is an obedient Hungary, not a guy who can trouble Vienna." Princess Mary said.
"Then you think, in the whole Hungary, who can be our friend?" Emperor Franz continued to ask, with a sense of breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"Prime Minister Tisza." The princess said without hesitation: "Because he does not want to put Hungary into a state of emergency, there are already rifts between Prime Minister Tisza and Count Albany. He is a sane person and will try to avoid it. Solve the problem with violence, and this will deepen the rift between him and the Independence Party. Without the support of the party, Prime Minister Tisza, who has a very limited family background, has very limited influence within Hungary. If he wants to continue To govern, we can only rely on us. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, he is still a relatively capable person, and Hungary needs such a person after the turmoil!"
"Very good idea, Ruprecht also meant the same." Emperor Franz nodded and said. "Of course, I need to add one more thing. That is, this match in Budapest should last as long as possible. We have to maintain a balance of power on both sides. This time it is turbulent, whether it is Count Albany or Caroli. There should not be an overwhelming advantage. We need them to exhaust their last strength."
"Father, what should we do about the handling of Hungary after the war? I mean, if Hungary stays in the empire, how should we divide the territory?" Princess Mary asked.
"Croatia, Slovakia. The Serb-dominated Vojvodina area and the German-concentrated area will be divided from Hungary's territory. Transylvania will remain Hungarian territory. In addition, the Kingdom of Hungary The territory that should be obtained from Romania will still be compensated to them in accordance with the previous agreement." King Franz thought for a while and said.
"This is equivalent to sending at least one-third of the bread basket of Central Europe to the Hungarians?" Princess Mary asked. Romania was known as the bread basket of Europe at the time, and it was very rich in food products. According to the current situation, one third of the area will be included in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Yes, for the Hungarians, we can't just take but not give, and don't you think that within a system, there are two huge and relatively hostile nations that are a good thing for the central government? At least now The stage is very good." Emperor Franz said with a smile.
"Hehe, if this is the case, there will be a leap in the total number of Romanians in the new Kingdom of Hungary." Princess Mary smiled lightly.
With regard to this population problem, Ruprecht once calculated an account. In history, the total population of Hungary was about 20 million, of which less than half of the Hungarian national population. For the time being, it is calculated at 10 million. In terms of the plan, what is the population of Romania in the new Kingdom of Hungary? There is no direct data, but it can be calculated based on some history. For example, in history, the total population of the Kingdom of Romania was 7.5 million. If one third of the territory was merged into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even one third One population comes in, that is about 2.5 million, and considering that the number of natives in the Kingdom of Romania is as high as 92%, then among these 2.5 million people, there are at least 2.3 million Romanians.
Well, how many people are there in the Romanian area including Transylvania? In history, the area of Romania after the end of World War I more than doubled, and the total number of Romanians reached 13.5 million. That is to say, compared with the previous period, the population of purebred Romania has increased by 6 million! How did this 6 million Romanian population come from? Naturally incidental to the occupied territories!
The Romanians in history have obtained these territories from Hungary, Russia and Austria. That is to say, there are 6 million Romanians in these areas. Of course, the biggest gain for Romanians is naturally from Hungary. (The Romanians acquired the Bessarabia region from Russia. It is not small, but it is not comparable to the regions of Transylvania.) Then, there are at least 3 million Romanians in Hungary! This is roughly the same as the Romanian population in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In other words, in the new Austro-Hungarian Empire, the number of Hungarians is about 10 million, while the number of Romanians is about 5.5 to 6 million! Although they are still ethnic minorities, they are distributed in a concentrated manner and the number of people is also large. This has caused great pressure within Hungary, which can be said to have created a dual system in Hungary! And the two nations in this dual system still have new and old hatreds!
"The internal struggle between these two nations will make the entire Kingdom of Hungary fall into political powerlessness~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This has a very important role in stabilizing the Austrian Empire after the war. And the best part is that even if Hungary knows This is a poisonous bread, they will still accept it and eat it." Emperor Franz said.
"So, this time, the biggest problem is not our country, but the situation in Germany. Now the Kaiser is ready to move." The old emperor sighed.
"They discovered our plan?" Princess Mary asked worriedly.
"No, but now the Kaiser feels that he has a great advantage and he is ready to die. The German parliament is currently discussing a new issue, and this is very unfavorable for Bavaria." Fritz said.
"Does Ruprecht know?" the princess asked.
"I see, Prussia is not monolithic inside. In fact, I feel that there is a conspiracy in it. Ruprecht said that we don't need to worry about this matter, he can handle it himself." Franz said.
