Kossuth could send someone to block Austrian representatives on the surface, but they couldn't do anything about those who were secretly on Austria's side.
The Hungarian Revolution was not achieved through bloodshed, which means that a large number of people who are inclined to the Vienna government are retained in the country. It is not that Kossuth has not thought about cleaning, but simply cannot do it. (Ignore human casualties)
The internal relations of the Kingdom of Hungary are intricate, and the whole body is affected. The newly-born Hungarian regime is fragile and cannot withstand wind and rain.
Vienna
After receiving the news that Hungary had expelled the Austrian representative, everyone knew that the war had entered the countdown, and the Austrian government could not allow Hungary to become independent.
"Prime Minister, how are the material preparations going?"
After entering the era of hot weapons, the battle is about materials. Now Austria has to take care of the Italian battlefield. What Franz is most worried about is logistical supplies.
"His Royal Highness, the Hungarian anti-insurgency campaign has not yet started. At present, our priority is to satisfy the Italian battlefield. If the mobilized army exceeds 200,000, we will not be able to guarantee logistical supplies." Felix thought for a while and said
It's not that Austria can't come up with this batch of strategic materials. As a member of the great powers, the Vienna government is still short of such materials. The most critical problem is that it cannot guarantee that the materials can be delivered to the troops in need on time.
The first major problem is transportation. To support hundreds of thousands of troops in combat, and to consider the issue of refugee relief after the war, it is necessary to transport a large amount of materials.
The new cabinet has been working hard for this since its establishment. After the suppression of the Vienna Rebellion, Austria entered a wartime economic system, and all government departments worked hard for the war.
"Can't wait any longer, the Hungarians have rejected our goodwill and all eyes are on us at this time.
Military operations can be postponed, but political offensives cannot. What advice do you have? ' said Franz seriously.
We all play politics, and we naturally know that there is a word called chain reaction. If the Vienna government ignores Hungary, which has declared its independence, will other careerists rush to follow suit
No, it seems that the careerists in other regions are finished at this time. If it wasn't for Franz's intentional indulgence, the Hungarians would not have achieved independence so smoothly.
Historically, the independence of the Hungarians was based on the fall of Austrian Italy, the occupation of Vienna by the Revolutionary Party, and the outbreak of the Austrian Civil War.
At that time, everyone felt that Austria was going to be cold, so they put their hearts out, and it was simply a revolution.
Even if they rebelled, they did not forget to repay the emperor for their work, explained the reasons for the rebellion, and left a way out for themselves.
Now the Italian battlefield continues to PK, the rebellion in the Austrian region has also been suppressed, and the Vienna government still has a strong power.
Capitalists and nobles are not desperadoes. Everyone has a family and a business. Under normal circumstances, they would not jump out and seek death at such a time, but the Hungarian Revolution was still successful.
On the surface, this is the success of the rise of Hungarian nationalism under the efforts of Kossuth and others.
In fact, smart people know that this is very abnormal. The response of the Vienna government is too slow. If troops were sent to suppress the rebellion earlier, the Hungarian Republic would not have time to establish itself.
Austria has a standing army of 350,000, the Vienna government has mobilized another 200,000 reserve troops, and expanded the city defense army of 30,000. The Italian battlefield only used 100,000 people.
Austria has deployed 40,000 people in Galicia, 50,000 in Bohemia and 20,000 in Slovenia.
There are still 120,000 Austrian troops in the Kingdom of Hungary, distributed in Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Transylvania and other regions.
Even if part of the army was affected by Hungarian nationalism, most of the people were still loyal to the emperor. If the rebellion was suppressed in the first place, it would be another situation now.
"His Royal Highness, I think it is now necessary to declare the Hungarian government illegal, and at the same time convert Croatia, Transylvania, and Slovakia into provinces directly under the Empire." Foreign Minister Metternich said murderously.
The wall-plasterer can also kill. Splitting the Hungarian Kingdom is something he has always wanted to do but dare not do, and now the opportunity has come.
If the Hungarians dared to rebel, then there is nothing to say, it must be split! If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be hard to come across again later.
The Austrian Empire is a multi-ethnic country, and the Kingdom of Hungary is also a multi-ethnic country. The Hungarians want independence, but it does not mean that the Croats, Romanians, and Slovaks also want to follow their independence.
"Mr. Metternich is right, but at the same time as the division of the Kingdom of Hungary, the National Equality Act we are drafting can now be announced in advance.
Don't the Hungarians advocate nationalism? We can also use it to classify the serfs and commoners in the Hungarian region into the Austrian ethnic group, and directly draw wages from the bottom of the pot. ' suggested Chancellor Carr
Franz's eyes lit up, and the finance minister's suggestion was undoubtedly an artificial creation of a nation to separate the Hungarian nobles from the commoners.
If you open a history book, you will know that the so-called nationalities are artificially divided according to factors such as culture, language, history, region, economy and so on.
It is a false proposition to talk about bloodline. In the vicissitudes of human history, basically all ethnic groups are mixed blood, which is not clear at all.
Of course, the nobles would definitely not recognize their bloodline with the commoners, just like the current "Hungarians" do not recognize the serfs as one of them.
Because of their cultural level, most of the serfs in southern Europe in this era had no nationality, or no one told them which nationality they belonged to.
For Franz, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to bring Austria together.
"Mr. Karl, I don't think there is any positive significance to doing this. There are already many nations in Austria. Adding another nation will only make our rule more troublesome!" Grand Duke Louis said with a frown.
He has heard Karl's implication, creating an Austrian nation is false, and the real purpose is to integrate all Austrian nations together.
But this is not what Grand Duke Louis wants. Once all the nations of Austria are merged, the Germans will be no exception. Since then, Austria and Germany will be divided, which is a disaster for the Grand Germans.
