Chapter 104: Kidnapping for Benefit

  Chapter 104 Kidnapping for Benefit

Hungary.

As the news of the defeat of the Sardinian Kingdom spread, more and more Hungarians lost faith in the revolution, and a series of cities such as Miskolc, Debrecen, Pécs, Szeged and so on fell.

By the middle of June, the Republic of Hungary was left with the last city, Budapest.

Unwilling to accept defeat, the revolutionaries, after losing important cities, went into exile in the countryside and tried to rely on guerrilla warfare to continue their resistance.

Unfortunately, the Hungarian people did not buy the idea. In the eyes of the general public, the Habsburgs were their protectors, while the Hungarian Republican government was a predatory government of aristocrats and capitalists.

Instead of waging a people’s war, it was suppressed by the people.

It can be said that Franz’s land division campaign in Hungary was very successful and succeeded in dumping all the previous black history of Austria on the Hungarian autonomous government.

The world is never short of smart people, after a civil unrest strength of the Hungarian aristocracy suffered a serious blow, quickly put themselves in the right position, have taken action to prove their role to the Vienna government, ready to occupy a favorable position in the new social system.

This is the old way of survival of the nobility, know how to compromise with reality. Those who did not learn this from the rich and powerful, were already in the Austrian suppression of the Hungarian revolt.

In an old castle outside of Arapahoe, a young man was saying angrily, “Father, do we really have to do this? Once the Kingdom of Hungary ceases to exist, we’ll have no choice but to ……”

The old man waved his hand and said in a serious tone, “August, don’t be blinded by profit!

The Kingdom of Hungary no longer exists, it was doomed from the moment the Hungarian Revolution began, and the Vienna government’s determination to break up Hungary will not waver.

The courage of the Mantis is certainly something to be admired, but it must never be emulated; this is our ancestral motto.

Since it is no longer possible to avoid the break-up of Hungary, why not utilize this opportunity to gain the maximum advantage?

The Austrian government was able to take advantage of this revolution to split up the Kingdom of Hungary, but it still lacks a basis in jurisprudence, and this is our opportunity.”

August frowned and said, “But father, the Vienna government divided our land, the million hectares of land inherited from our ancestors are history, we can never get these back!”

The old man shook his head and said, “What do you want? These lands were divided into the hands of hundreds of thousands of people, there is no way for either of them to get them back again, do you want to become a mortal enemy with the subjects of our fiefdom over these lands?

August, you’re being paranoid. Things have already happened, the most important thing is not to complain about the sky, not to mention on the selfless to retaliate, but to stop the loss in time!

Don’t forget, these lands were taken out in the name of redemption, while the land redemption money we didn’t get, at this time the Vienna government can’t wait for you to mess up, so that they don’t have to give a single daiko.”

A big noble like the Kohali family is very focused on fiefdom management, heaven’s anger and infamy, that’s all the way of the thugs and losers, the real ancient nobles are very focused on their reputation.

Europe often broke out noble wars, nobles must rely on their own fiefdom subjects to sell their lives, if you can’t get their support, what makes the big nobles have a special status?

Money moves people’s hearts, now the land has been divided out, the wood is gone, get the land of the serfs are certainly not willing to give up, if you want to get the land back to be on the opposite side of these people.

There is no way, this time can only stop the loss. As for retaliation against the Austrian government, this idea can have, and even secretly give them chaos can, but on the surface can not have any action.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the big noble marriage, the Habsburg family has no way to kill them, but withholding their demolition compensation can still be, not right is the land redemption money.

The redemption money of millions of hectares of land, even with a discount, is not a small amount, no one can refuse this fortune.

Want to get this money is also not so simple, land redemption money is the Austrian government on behalf of the collection, they certainly will not be so easy to take out.

Even for the sake of the government’s credibility, not be able to directly carry out renegade, as long as they give full play to the subjective initiative of the bureaucrats, custodial into a lifetime series of debt.

Thought of this, August instantly shriveled up. Obviously the Austrian government has damaged their interests, but in order to stop the loss they also had to help the Austrian government to stabilize the place.

At least before this huge amount of land redemption money to get their hands on, they must stand on the side of the Austrian government, but also look forward to the Austrian development of better, or no one will give them to pay back the money.

After a half a minute of silence, August said helplessly, “Alright, I’ll push for a petition campaign to let the Austrians split up Hungary in name only!”

For the sake of that huge amount of land redemption money belonging to the Kohali family, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, August could only hold his nose and admit it.

Mobilizing a popular petition to apply to become a Habsburg family dominion, and giving the Austrian government an excuse to split up Hungary, was their first step in selling out to Vienna.

Franz is to eat the phase, split Hungary is easy, but let the local people heart convinced will be difficult, the history of the Kingdom of Hungary was split, not long after the death and resurrection, is the local people are not convinced.

If the local people take the initiative to apply, become the Habsburg family jurisdiction, then it is not a problem. This is public opinion, and no one can pick out the problem.

Public opinion is blindly obedient, this time it is the turn of the nobles to perform, with them taking the lead coupled with the prestige of the Habsburg family in the civil society, it is very easy to plan a petition activity like this.

……

Budapest, which was now a lonely city, the Austrian army seemed to have lost interest in attacking the city and had not launched an attack for a week.

With the Danube, there is no shortage of water in the city, there is no way to replenish other supplies, and the factories have long since ceased to function due to the lack of raw materials for industry.

Due to the lack of industrial raw materials, the factories have stopped operating. A large number of unemployed people face high prices, the city’s economy has collapsed, the young and strong can still join the National Guard to make a living, but the old, sick and disabled have completely lost their economic resources.

The collapse of military discipline in the National Guard was largely due to the fact that the soldiers still had families to support, and the poor Hungarian Republican government could not afford to support them with the salaries they were paid.

In order to prevent their families from starving, they had to suppress the “counter-revolutionaries”, and only in this way were they able to capture enough wealth from the “enemy” to support their families.

I’m Cao Pi!

I’m a few minutes late, I forgot to set the time to write ????
