Chapter 62: Create a nation

Kosut could send people to block Austrian representatives on the bright side, but they could not do anything to those who were secretly on the side of Austria.
The Hungarian revolution was not achieved through bloodshed, which meant that a large number of people in the country who favored the Vienna government were retained in the country. Kosut did not think of purging, but he could not do it at all. (Ignore human casualties)
The internal relations of the Kingdom of Hungary are intricate and complicated, and the whole Hungarian government is affected. The new Hungarian regime is fragile and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
Vienna
After receiving the news that Hungary had expelled the Austrian representative, everyone knows that the war has entered the countdown and it is impossible for the Austrian government to allow Hungary to independence.
"Prime Minister, how is the preparation of the supplies?"
After entering the era of hot weapons, warfare was fought with materials. Now that Austria has to take into account the Italian battlefield, Franz's biggest worry is logistics.
"His Royal Highness, the Hungarian counterinsurgency campaign has not yet started. At present, we are prioritizing the satisfaction of the Italian battlefield. If the number of troops transferred exceeds 200,000, we will not be able to guarantee logistical supplies." Felix thought for a moment
This is not because Austria cannot get these strategic supplies. As a member of the Great Powers, the Vienna government does not lack such a small amount of supplies. The most critical problem is that it cannot guarantee that the supplies can be delivered to the troops in need.
The first major problem is transportation. To support hundreds of thousands of troops, we must also consider the issue of refugee relief after the war. This requires the transportation of a large number of materials.
Since the establishment of the new cabinet, it has worked hard to this end. After the suppression of the Vienna rebellion, Austria entered the wartime economic system, and all government departments were working for the war.
"Can't wait any longer. The Hungarians have rejected our goodwill. At this time everyone's eyes are looking at us.
Military action can be postponed, but political offensives cannot be delayed. What's your suggestion? Franz said seriously
Everyone is playing politics. Naturally, there is a word called chain reaction. If the Vienna government does not turn a blind eye to the declared independence of Hungary, other ambitionists will not rush to follow suit?
No, it seems that at this time the ambitions of other regions have already ended. If it were not for Franz's intentional indulgence, the Hungarians would not have such a smooth independence.
In history, the Hungarian independence was established: the Austrian Italian region was completely occupied, the Revolutionary Party occupied Vienna, and the Austrian civil war broke out.
At that time, everyone felt that Austria was going to be cold, so they took their hearts to one side and simply revolutionized.
Even when they rebelled, they did not forget to return the work to the emperor, explained the reasons for the rebellion, and left a way for themselves.
Now that the Italian battlefield continues to PK, the Austrian rebellion has also been suppressed, and the Vienna government still has strong power.
The capitalists and nobles are not desperate. Everyone has a family and a job. Under normal circumstances, at this time, they will not jump out to find death, but the Hungarian revolution was successful.
On the face of it, it was only through the efforts of Kosut and others that the rise of Hungarian nationalism was successful.
In fact, smart people know that this is very abnormal. The response of the Vienna government is too slow. If an early troop is sent to suppress the rebellion, the Hungarian Republic will have no time to establish.
Austria has 350,000 standing troops, the Vienna government mobilized another 200,000 reserve forces, and expanded 30,000 city defense forces. The Italian battlefield only used 100,000 people.
Austria has deployed 40,000 people in Galicia, 50,000 people in Bohemia and 20,000 people in Slovenia.
There are still 120,000 Austrian troops in the Kingdom of Hungary, located in Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Transylvania.
Even if part of the army was affected by Hungarian nationalism, most people are still loyal to the emperor. If the rebellion is suppressed in the first place, it will be another situation.
"His Royal Highness, I think it is time to declare the Hungarian government illegal at the same time, and at the same time convert Croatia, Transylvania, and Slovakia into empires." Foreign Minister Metternich said aggressively.
The wallbutterer also kills people. Splitting the Kingdom of Hungary is something he has always wanted to do but dare not do. Now the opportunity is here.
The Hungarians dared to rebel, so there is no need to say, they must be separated! After missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be harder to meet later.
The Austrian Empire is a multi-ethnic country, and the Kingdom of Hungary is also a multi-ethnic country. Hungarians want independence, but it does not mean that Croatians, Romanians, and Slovaks also want to follow them.
"Mr. Metternich is right, but while breaking up the Kingdom of Hungary, the" National Equality Bill "we are drafting can now be announced in advance.
Aren't Hungarians advocating nationalism? We can also use it to classify serfs and civilians in the Hungarian region into the Austrian ethnic group and directly carry out a salary draw at the bottom of the kettle. Chancellor of the Exchequer Carl proposed
In the sight of Franz, the Minister of Finance's proposal was undoubtedly to artificially create a nation and separate Hungary's nobles and civilians.
Opening the history book, we know that the so-called nations are artificially divided according to factors such as culture, language, history, region, and economy.
If we really talk about pedigree, it is a pseudo-proposition. In the change of human history, basically all ethnic groups are mixed, which is totally unclear.
Of course, the aristocracy will certainly not recognize their blood and common people, just as the "Hungarians" now do not recognize serfs as one of them.
Because of the cultural level, most of the serfs in southern Europe in this era had no ethnic group, or no one told them which ethnic group they belonged to.
In Franz's view, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to integrate Austria.
"Mr. Carl, I don't think it has any positive significance. There are already many nationalities in Austria. Adding another nationality will only make our rule more troublesome!" Archduke Louis frowned.
He had heard Karl's implied meaning. It was false to create an Austrian nation, and the real purpose was to integrate all Austrian nations together.
But this was not what Grand Duke Louis wanted. Once all the Austrians were merged, the Germans would be no exception. Since then, Austria and Germany have been separated. This is a disaster for the Grand Germans.
