The fellow Hungarian patriotic poet Petofi Sandor, one of the leaders of this Hungarian revolution, couldn't help it.
"Your Excellency Count, are you just watching Hungary end? Even if the chance of success is low, you can't do nothing
For God's sake, you must do something for this country at this time! "
Istvan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I only regret that I didn't stop you, if I had been tougher, maybe this situation would not have happened.
Yes, I do need to do something right now, but not in government, don't be too quick to say no until I'm done.
In terms of military command ability, I'm just a middle-class person. Both Duke Leopold and Marquis of Roche are much stronger than me. For military problems, I suggest you ask them for help.
In terms of propaganda ability, Kosuth, you are much stronger than me, and you don't need my help.
As a person, the only advantage is that I have self-knowledge, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the government.
I'm only responsible for coordinating ethnic relations. At this point, Kossuth should put away your damn nationalist theory! "
Kossuth was half-dead from anger. If it wasn't for the support of Istvan at this time, he was afraid that he would rush to beat him.
This guy is really annoying, even if he has bad ideas, he also exposes scars everywhere.
If there is a choice, Kossuth does not want to engage in nationalism, but the supporters do not agree!
Capitalists need cheap labor, and most people who are excluded from the gate of power are the cheap labor left to the capitalists.
That’s right, Kossuth’s nationalism excludes not minorities, but all the people at the bottom. Except for the 500,000 or 600,000 capitalists, aristocrats, and the middle class, the rest are the targets of oppression.
Of course, on the surface, this line only excludes ethnic minorities, while Hungarians are excluded by external factors such as property, title, and cultural level.
In theory, it is possible for these people to gain suffrage, provided that you have to get rich first, and then you will have political rights.
Other than that, don't think about it. Nobles are born, and they are doomed from the moment they are born; cultural knowledge is not accessible to poor ghosts, and there is no compulsory education in Hungary if they have no money to read books.
There are no real poor people at the top of the revolutionary party, including Pei Duofei, who was born with the lowest background.
Her mother was a serf, and she had also been a maid of the nobles. She belonged to a knowledgeable handmaiden. Her father was a butcher, and she was also a small capitalist with economic savvy.
He Jin was still a butcher in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, why didn't anyone mention that their family monopolized most of the meat supply in Nanyang County
Their ass determines their position. They may sympathize with the suffering of the people at the bottom, but their class position determines that they cannot sacrifice their own interests for the people at the bottom.
Istvan was a great noble on his side. At this time, it was very natural to ask Duke Leopold and the Marquis of Roche, who were also great nobles, for help in military matters.
But in Kossuth's view, this is courting death. Now that the situation is so bad, who can guarantee that these great nobles will not defect
Even if the Vienna government moved their fiefs, in fact there is still a possibility of compromise between the two sides. It is nothing more than a question of price. The nobles naturally tend to be monarchical countries, and there is no way to change this class position.
The goal has been achieved, and Kossuth will naturally not stay and get angry. He didn't even take a sip of water, and he didn't expect Istvan to take care of the meal.
"Mr. Kossuth, what should we do now?" Petofi asked expectantly
There is no way, Kossuth is unreliable, and Petofi is even worse. His talent is to write poetry, and his representative works include "Song of the Nation" and "Against the King".
"Life is precious, and love is more valuable; if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away!"
He is the originator of this sentence, and is very popular among intellectuals. However, he also has the characteristics of literary youth, typically lacking practical experience.
There is no way. Pei Duofei, who was born in 1823, is only 25 years old now. It is too embarrassing for him to worry about the fate of a country.
"I have already sent people to contact the Kingdom of Sardinia, and now I can only hope that they will defeat the Austrian army in Venice as soon as possible and force the Austrians to divide their troops and return to help."
Kossuth did not mention the matter of asking the Ottomans for help. It is not yet clear, especially in front of Petofi. If he said it, he would definitely object.

Bohemian Legion
Julius was bewildered after receiving orders from Vienna, Budapest was close at hand, but he was not allowed to attack, which was very unreasonable.
A young staff officer asked dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency Commander, what does this mean in the country, we are not allowed to attack Budapest, are they going to solve the problem by negotiation at this time?"
"This question, you can only ask the Vienna government, or the War Department may know, we just need to execute the order!" Julius thought for a while and said
This is his greatest advantage. He can 100% complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. No matter how big the doubts in his heart are, he will not bring them to the task.
"Your Excellency Commander, doesn't that mean we have nothing to do now?" Another young officer complained
If there is no battle, it means that there is no military merit. Now the four-way army in Austria, the Bohemian Legion has the best geographical location. Budapest is close at hand. As long as they conquer this place, they will be the first.
Chief of Staff Yelacic said slowly: "Do you feel that there is no battle and you are bored
Then go and paint me propaganda slogans, first put the surrounding areas under military control, and liberate all the serfs. This is also our mission this time! "
That's right, the task of freeing the serfs was handed over to the army by Franz. The nobles are not easy to mess with these days, especially the Hungarian nobles who are used to being the king of the mountain. They don't use force, and they can't speak well.
"Let me take care of the people under my command. This time we are here to liberate Hungary and bring happiness to the Hungarian people. Anyone who dares to violate military discipline will be shot!" Julius said sternly
Loyal dogs, of course, must be loyal to the emperor. This time they came as "liberators" to buy the Hungarian people's hearts for the emperor. Good military discipline is a good start.
