Chapter 374: The Battle of the Mouthpiece

  Chapter 364 – The Battle Power of the Talking Cannon

The dying struggle of the federal government to finance the riots of revolutionary organizations in various countries is naturally not clear to the governments.

If the news leaks, the northern government may not be finished, the countries still need a divided United States, will not be killed with a stick, but Lincoln’s current government is sure to be finished immediately.

Including the capitalists who supported them, they would be the first to abandon them, and maybe even jump out and step on them.

There’s no way this power is stirring things up without reason, but with reason? Without giving Britain, France and Austria a reasonable explanation, the federal government will not be able to pass.

Of course, it no longer mattered to President Lincoln. According to the current situation, do not toss is also to step down, tossed the worst result is no more than early stepping down.

It’s not like he directly planned these actions and secretly funded these revolutionary organizations, so as long as no one is caught with direct evidence, it’s within the reasonable bounds of a political struggle, and being thrown out of office is just as good as it gets.

The one who really needs to be held responsible is the federal government, and it’s just a matter of how much money to pay out. It’s better than having several major powers intervene with full force.

Splitting the United States is the common will of all countries, one divided into several depends on the actual operation of the situation. Lincoln was unwilling to pin his hopes on the knuckleheads of the nations and chose to let it go.

In the unlikely event that it succeeded and civil unrest broke out in the countries, things could take a turn for the worse. If any country’s anti-war faction gained the upper hand, there would be one less member of the interventionist coalition.

No matter what, it was also possible for these anti-war factions to stall for a bit of time.

Historically, the London government missed the time to intervene because of the checks and balances of the anti-war factions, which delayed the government’s decision-making.

Most Europeans in this era were very arrogant and didn’t even look at the US as a halfway decent exploder, most didn’t see them as a threat.

This contempt was certainly an opportunity for the federal government to weather the storm. President Lincoln decided to use this opportunity to let go.

In late 1864, under the cover of the federal government, members of these revolutionary organizations began to return secretly to the continent in small groups.

Across the oceans, a few families rejoiced.

The real revolutionaries were naturally full of enthusiasm, ready to devote themselves to the cause of the revolution in the country; the people who mucked around and cheated for funds were different, staying well in the United States, occasionally publishing a few is a revolutionary leader, who wants to really run to fight for their lives?

Revolution is a deadly endeavor, and the more conservative the country, the greater the risk of a revolution.

On the other hand, in countries that are heavily influenced by liberalism, there is more security, at least you don’t have to worry about being killed before you are convicted.

Stephen and Gabori happened to be placed in the same boat. Presumably the Americans were going to make them work together, putting together leaders of organizations that were similar in their political stance.

On the surface, there was no alleged conflict between the Hungarian Independence Organization and the Italian Independence Organization.

After all, Hungarian Independence would not claim an interest in the Italian regions, and the Italian Independence Organization had no interest in the Hungarian regions.

On the contrary, there was a serious conflict between the French Revolutionary Party and the Italian Independence Organization, and many young Frenchmen believed that the Italian regions should be part of France, reason: Napoleon was Italian.

Don’t think that’s a bullshit reason, it’s good to have a reason. To put it bluntly, the French revolution was enough if the Parisian population participated, other regions would have attached themselves to it, there was no need to unite with the Italians.

That being the case, what had already been eaten into the stomach, naturally could not be spat out.

Giving up the Kingdom of Sardinia is easy to say, if the government really does it, keep the French people to have another revolution.

And the two organization bosses who were thought to be able to cooperate amicably, the exchange was not pleasant.

……

Stephen explained, “Mr. Gabori, if you take action in the Venetia region, we can still cooperate.

If you take action in other areas, then I’m sorry, we can’t guarantee to hold the Austrians at bay.”

This was the truth, he, Stephen, thought to himself that it would be God’s favor if he went to the Hungarian region to pull in a team and was able to pull in more than triple digit troops.

In 1848, during the Revolution, the Hungarian Republic had made so much noise, but had not gained the support of the people. Now he is left with the slogan “Hungarian Independence”, can he still get the support of the people?

Back then, people were so arrogant that when defining the Magyar nation, they did not consider the serfs at the bottom of the hierarchy to be fellow citizens and did not give them the appropriate national treatment.

The Hungarian aristocracy was mainly responsible for this, refusing to recognize these people as fellow citizens in order to protect their own interests.

In terms of descent, the lower and middle classes of the Hungarian people were the true Magyars, while the upper classes of the great nobles were outsiders and not Magyars.

Culturally, the Hungarian nobility was heavily influenced by German culture. Writing was done in German in preference to Raffaël, with less than five percent being able to use normal Hungarian script and less than half being proficient in Hungarian.

On the contrary, most of the lower and middle classes were using Hungarian, and about three layers of them had also learned German, and writing under the influence of the nobles was still mostly in German.

This is due to historical reasons, and if one studies carefully one realizes that a large part of the aristocracy of the European countries came from the German region.

While exporting kings, they naturally exported nobles. Coupled with the many wars that broke out in medieval Europe, the German region was so poor that it had no choice but to join the army and fight.

As they fought, the lucky ones stood out and gradually became nobles. Over time, the nobility of the German region gradually increased.

The Republic of Hungary existed for too short a time, did not have the time to recognize the identity of the lower classes, naturally, can not expect the lower classes of the people of this republic have much identification.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Franz directly created the Austrian race. Originally, he wanted to use German directly, but this designation was resisted by many people, and the second choice was the Austrian race.

This is a characteristic of European culture, and many people in Austria only identify with Austria, but not with the German Confederation at that time.

Of course, later Austria formed the new Holy Roman Empire, they are recognized, the reason is very simple, Austria occupies the absolute dominant position.

This is the nature of human nature, for example: others want to merge your company, you are naturally reluctant; when you merge someone else’s company, the situation is different.

The Austrian race does not only include Hungarians, many people who do not know their own ethnicity, have been stuffed by Franz, has become the second largest ethnic group in Austria now.

Ethnic groups can be created, not to mention others. The Germans are known as North Austrians, while the Austrian ethnic group is known as South Austrians, a branch of the German nation.

Because of the long-term marriage with the nomadic tribes of South Austria, and by the Ottoman Empire invasion, and so on, and many other reasons to cause the different habits of life.

Whether the outside world believe it or not, anyway, the Vienna government is believed. The family history of the local nobility can prove that their ancestors came from the German region.

……

These multiple factors directly led to the struggling Hungarian independence organization. Even within the identified Magyar nation, there were many who believed that they were also a part of the German nation.

There was no way around it, there was not enough evidence of the information in hand. Combined with the thousands of years of marriages, most of the people are now of mixed blood, and there is no way to prove it in terms of lineage.

It could only be proved by cultural traditions, which made Stephen despair even more. Even the independent members of Hungary, most of them were using German, and those who could use Hungarian were rather in the minority.

Without Istvan Széchenyi’s revival of the Hungarian language, without the revival of traditional Hungarian culture, where would the Hungarian nation come from?

Communication was limited by the lack of transportation in this era. Even if the telegraph had been available, no one would have had the luxury of using it to transmit such irrelevant news just because of the exorbitant cost, and naturally, Gábori would not have known about this.

He assumed that Stephen’s refusal was for the sake of profit; after all, no one would dare to be a philanthropist on such a big issue. And so promised:

“Mr. Stephen, don’t be in a hurry to refuse, this matter won’t let you work for nothing.

The Austrians are our common enemy, they are very powerful, only if we join forces can we have a chance to win.

Now that you have helped to hold the Austrians at bay, I can guarantee that in the future, when you need it, we will also go all out to help you.

Lombardy and Venetia are still in the hands of the Austrians, there are still plenty of opportunities for cooperation later on, you don’t have to worry about voiding my promise.”

Now Gabori can only make empty promises, the actual benefits he just can’t take out even if he wants to give. The Italian National Salvation Army’s entire family base is this thousand or so people.

If the revolution succeeds, then he who holds the power of a place may be able to come up with real money, now his own family is underfunded.

Stephen is even more tragic, the Hungarian independence organization is nominally very strong. 1848 Hungarian independence movement proved their strength, however, out of the gate is the peak, the next all the way down to the bottom.

It’s not as if there are no supporters in the country, but unfortunately after all these years, the desire for independence has diminished.

When you’re young you can fight for your ideals and do whatever it takes, by the time you have a large family of wives and children, it’s not so simple to get them to take risks again.

Besides, even if these people were mobilized, they would not be able to make waves. The ethnic division that was not paid attention to in the first place has directly made itself into a very small minority.

At this moment Stefan even had the urge to change his name to the Austrian Revolutionary Party. No matter what, the appeal of this name was at least broad enough to not be limited to one ethnic group.

Even though Austria had developed well over the years, there were still quite a few disillusioned people, and it should be much easier to recruit people under the banner of the Austrian Revolutionary Party.

But he was not willing to compromise and admit defeat. Once the name was changed to the Austrian Revolutionary Party, the Hungarian Independence Organization ceased to exist, and even more so, the goal of Hungarian independence was abandoned and the Hungarian nation was recognized as a part of Austria.

After hesitating for a few moments of effort, Stephen still didn’t want to lose face, so he bragged, “Mr. Gabori, it’s not that we won’t contribute, but we really can’t do it.

To hold the Austrians at bay, then at least hundreds of thousands of people must be organized to start an uprising. Do you think that after experiencing the last Hungarian War of Independence, the Vienna government won’t be wary?

For so many years, they haven’t given up on suppressing us. I’m sure you’ve heard that of all the revolutionary groups in exile in various countries, those in Austria have survived the least.

The infamous Vienna government’s wanted notice is even more of a sword hanging over our heads. Over the years, more than a dozen of our branches have been destroyed, hundreds of people have been massacred, and our organizational structure has been severely damaged.

For the sake of secrecy, many of our contacts were single line, without any backup information. With the destruction of these branches, we lost contact with over nine layers of members.”

Looking at the grief-stricken Stephen, Gabori didn’t even know what to say. He had also heard about the ruthlessness of the Vienna government’s crackdown on the Independent Revolutionary Organization.

The Italian National Salvation Army hadn’t been hit, and that was because they had just been established and hadn’t run into Austrian territory to cause trouble, so naturally they wouldn’t have attracted the attention of the Vienna government.

Gabori said with a ashamed face, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you were facing such a bad form.”

Seeing that Gabori was set, Stephen breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a bit of a knucklehead and wasn’t willing to just make promises to trap people, after all, they really didn’t have many allies now.

If they didn’t have a few big rebels at the front, wouldn’t it be a tragedy if the Vienna government’s eyes were on them.

Stephen didn’t want to be the number one target, that would mean dying in an accident at any time. Nothing was safe anywhere unless it was secluded in the mountains.

The Hungarian Independence Organization could survive quite nourishingly, not by being strong, but by learning to hide itself.

Since the failure of the Revolution, they have remained at the stage of a talking party for a long time without launching a substantial rebellion.

The so-called sabotage, the big deal is to write a few articles attacking the Vienna government, or send people to put up small advertisements, no it is the national independence propaganda slogans.

It wasn’t Stefan’s pot, it was mainly the revolutionary talents with real-world skills that all joined the Hungarian independence movement and basically died in the War of Independence.

The leaky ones who escaped were mostly mouth-breathers in charge of public opinion propaganda. Because they had no fighting ability, they did not appear in the insurrection.

Since there were so many people implicated and they were minor figures at the time, they slipped through the net during the post-war liquidation.

After escaping the first wave, people had ghosts in their hearts and were afraid that they would go to jail if they were found out, so they chose to go into exile overseas.

It was supposed to be a mouthful, and even if they changed time and place, it still didn’t make a big difference.

After so many years, their theoretical foundations and organizational skills had indeed improved, but it was too difficult to take up arms and become independent.

Being able to brag is also a kind of ability, and just by looking at this kind of ability, the Hungarian Independence Organization is still having a good time in the United States.

Relying on the three-inch tongue, successfully fooled a lot of people, everyone thinks they are a gang of outlaws, the United States of America gangster organizations are shunned.

Thanks to their reputation, they also sheltered many Hungarians who immigrated to the United States, and gradually gained a foothold in the United States.

The more prosperous the life, the more people are afraid of death.

Now Stephen and the others had no more will for revolution, bearing the banner of the Hungarian Independence Organization, that was to protect their own interests, not to lead Hungarian independence.

America in this day and age is no clean slate. They have also accumulated a good deal of money over the years, and if they hadn’t bragged so much about their power and deterred a bunch of jackals and tigers, the good times would have ended a long time ago.

Hairy Bear’s extra shifts have been paid off, and the two shifts of Snap Hit Star and AWean’s Sea Moon will be paid back as soon as possible ????
