Chapter 78: The Birth of the Title Party
Chapter 78 The Title Party is Born
The Kingdom of Sardinia
In order to defeat Austria, Charles Albert has gone out of his way to ally himself with his most hated republican regime, and the Austro-Hungarian War has just broken out, and before they have a chance to celebrate, they receive an urgent letter asking for help.
Receiving the Hungarian’s plea for help, Charles Albert was broken inside and immediately roared:
“Damn it, are these Hungarians all losers? The war has only just begun and they are about to be unable to hold their own.
300,000 National Self-Defense Forces, even if it’s 300,000 pigs, the Austrians can’t finish killing them in such a short time!
Do the Hungarians simply not have the courage to fight for freedom?”
“Your Majesty, Hungary is a multi-ethnic country, and while the Hungarians are fighting for their national independence, they are at the same time oppressing other minorities.
The Austrians bribed these minorities, and the war was lost for the Republic of Hungary from the very beginning.” Prime Minister Azeglio explained helplessly
Hungary looked bullish, on the surface it seemed that they were independent, Austria’s national power immediately reduced by four layers, plus joining forces with the Kingdom of Sardinia, the two sides were considered to be on equal footing.
Did not think, looks like the strength of good Hungary, actually is strong outside, just and Austria flipped, two-thirds of the domestic territory changed colors.
“Waste!”
Charlie Albert cursed angrily, and did not know whether he was cursing Hungary or the Prime Minister.
“Minister of War, analyzing the current situation, how long can the Hungarians hold out?”
Li Qi, who was named, immediately answered, “Your Majesty, no one can answer this question, right now the Austrians are riding high, mainly because there are too many people in Hungary whose hearts are turned toward Austria.
Instead of the Hungarian National Self-Defense Army being defeated by the Austrian army, it is the Hungarians themselves who surrendered of their own accord.”
Charles Albert’s face changed, if the Republic of Hungary was finished, without them holding the Austrian main force, then the Venice battlefield would be in big trouble.
Lips are dying, that even if they feel that it is a bit wrong to risk a showdown with the Austrians in Venice, the Kingdom of Sardinia has no choice, they can’t live without the Republic of Hungary at this time, this pit must be jumped into.
Public opinion within the Kingdom of Sardinia was urging the government to fight Austria every day, and Charles Albert was also affected, and now finally made up his mind.
“Order Marshal Badorio to speed up the pace, at all costs, Venice must be captured before the Republic of Hungary is finished!”
……
Frankfurt.
This commercial capital of Germany became more active with the arrival of delegates from all over the world, and the event was discussed in the streets.
Even if the legitimacy of the Frankfurt meeting is still to be considered, the enthusiasm remains half-hearted.
Greater Germany and Lesser Germany were the subject of much debate, with neither side being able to convince the other, but everyone was still in high spirits.
So far, except for Prussia, which openly supported the conference, only a few free cities and small states supported it.
Regardless of whether they supported it or not, the representatives of all the states arrived in Frankfurt, some of them were elected, but more of them still belonged to the kind of being represented.
Capital without borders is not a joke, these capitalists who longed for the unification of the German region and the creation of a large market, have long been broken to pieces.
At the Austrian delegation’s lodging place, Raoult asked suspiciously, “Anderson, are all these people we are meeting today, elected delegates?”
“Probably probably!” Anderson replied uncertainly
“But why do I get the feeling that all these worker representatives look like thugs?” Raoult frowned and said
“Maybe they’re factory supervisors, what do they care, just get enough people together anyway, weren’t we appointed you too?” Anderson thought for a moment and said
“Beaters can be considered overseers, and overseers are certainly workers.” The two looked at each other, already having no illusions about this convention.
This was the social reality, whether it was workers or peasants, they still didn’t even have the qualifications to participate in the conference even if they had elected delegates, and they didn’t even necessarily have enough money to cover the traveling expenses to come over.
How can the capitalists give up their dominant power in a conference organized by them? If they were to hold democratic elections, with their good reputation, only idiots would support them.
Whitewash to shore? There is no such thing, it is only the 19th century, there are very few clean capitalists, the background of the society is black, if you are white, you will also be colored black.
Even they feel that if they don’t attend this meeting, they will also be represented, with the capitalists’ modesty, there is no pressure to do this kind of thing.
“It’s no good, Mr. Anderson, the organizers have informed us that the regions of Bohemia and Hungary are not part of the German region, and that these delegates cannot attend this conference.”
Anderson’s face changed, first in anger, then in surprise. This was an excuse delivered to his door, how could he not use it?
“Quickly, find a newspaper to publish this news, and portray the situation a little more seriously, focusing on highlighting the arrogance of the organizers.” Anderson hurriedly shared
“Wait, I think we can also add some more information, put out a rumor that the Prussians have taken control of this conference, with the aim of getting the conference to pass a decree that will allow Prussia to annex all the other states!” Raoult added
“In that case, let’s add more to the rumor that the Prussians are going to make Protestantism the state religion of Germany, and that Catholicism is to be banned from the constitution!” Anderson went on
……
It’s all about messing around anyway, there’s no pressure on them to create random news, it’s too hard to get to the bottom of it in this day and age when communications are limited.
In Vienna, Franz had even formed a group of experts dedicated to collecting information coming back from the front and then creating topics to steer in the direction Austria needed.
When the Frankfurt Conference started, rumors had already begun to circulate in the German region that the Prussians were attempting to annex countries through this conference.
“The capitalist thugs are actually representatives of the working class!”
“Representatives of the peasants who own 100,000 hectares of land!”
“Who actually elected the representatives?”
“Who gave the capitalists the right to dominate this country?”
……
With pictures and a bit of artistry, the headline party grabbed the front page of the mainstream European media in a big way.
Truth interspersed with rumors made it hard to tell the real from the fake. Many people only believe what they see, obviously the reality is cruel, the black history of the capitalists exposed by the media is no different from what they see.
The Frankfurt Conference, which undermined the authority of the monarchs, was led by Franz, and everyone worked together to start this public opinion war.
