Chapter 1703 Civil War and Foreign War
In short, under the current circumstances, whether it is the aristocratic conservatives led by Count Obernie or the bourgeois revolutionary led by Caroli, most of their attention and focus are on the issue of seizing power! As for what to do after seizing power, there is an idea, that is, to ensure the integrity of Greater Hungary and the "Crown Territory of Saint Isterwan" and the independence of the nation!
However, at most, this is just to think about it. Not only the two sides confront each other, but even other neutral and other neutral Hungarian leaders know that if Hungary wants to be truly independent, the best result will be to become a small country that has narrowed down several circles! The reason is very simple. Hungary neither has the sword to use violence to maintain national unity, nor can it control the political and economic skills of other countries through soft means!
In fact, in history, Hungary was directly broken from a country of 300,000 square kilometers into a small country with only less than one-third of the original, and it could not be blamed entirely on the Allies. When Hungary collapsed, the Slovaks on the back would rather follow the Czechs who had no relationship before than follow the Hungarians, let alone the Poles. Although they have been crushed, their independent spirit is moving! The Croats finally chose to mix with Serbia, which is also the Slavic nation. Transylvania directly merged with Romania. When Hungary did not have the power to maintain a system of governance through violence, other nations that had no slightest affection for the Hungarian nation would naturally rise up.
And now? The situation is very similar to history. Even in the best case, without external interference, it would be very difficult for Hungary to preserve the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Because, no matter who comes to power, you can occupy Budapest, but it does not mean that you can gain an advantage in other ethnic minority areas. If you fall into the quagmire of civil war, then no one can save you!
Therefore, even now, the various internal forces in Hungary still have a very complicated attitude towards Vienna. As Prime Minister Tissa said: "Fritz is an absolute tyrant and an enemy of Hungary, but we cannot really go against Fritz!"
Therefore, for the future, the Hungarian senior officials do not have a definite plan. As for ordinary people, they are now struggling to survive. The so-called glory and national independence of the Hungarian nation are too far away from them.
At this time, what is Ruprecht doing now? When it is time to see the conclusion, what is the future regent of the Vienna court busy with the Bavarian crown prince, one of the main messengers behind all these?
Ruprecht was very busy! However, he did not directly interfere with the situation within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but continued to compete with the Allies on the battlefield! Unlike the Eastern Front, which was cold to a certain level in winter, and also different from the Western Front, which was relatively mild in winter. At this time, in the Balkans, in Asia Minor, even the Black Sea, and the Caucasus, under the command of Ruprecht, hundreds of thousands of Bavarian legions were launching offensives!
