Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 90: hope

Flooding Budapest, if it is a later generation, is not a big deal at all, at least Franz has seen news of flooding Budapest several times.

However, if man-made dams on the upper reaches of the Danube River were used to attack Budapest, the consequences would be severe. Budapest is dead, but the farmlands and cities downstream are also dead.

If all the local Hungarian people were supporters of the Revolutionary Party, then there is no need to consider that the Austrian army has already done so.

However, there are obviously more supporters of the Hapsburg dynasty than the supporters of the Hungarian Republican government. If the city is flooded, it will kill 800 people and cause damage to 1,000.

Franz didn't know Kosut's thoughts. Hearing news that the city might be flooded, he knew that Budapest couldn't hold it.

From another perspective, if he stands on the position of the Vienna government, even if the consequences are serious and the price paid is heavy, he will choose to extinguish the Republic of Hungary. This is the perspective of politicians.

"No, General Henrik Denbinski. Politicians have a much lower morale than you think. What can't the corrupt Austrian government do?

The displacement of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian people is not a big deal in the eyes of the Austrians! Kosut said solemnly

At least in his mind, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians are chips that can be discarded. If the ultimate victory can be obtained, this sacrifice will be acceptable several times larger.

This can be seen in the repression of the workers and peasants movement by the Republican government. Since the establishment of the Hungarian Republic in 1848, more people have been killed in the suppression of workers and peasants than in the past ten years.

This is almost the commonality of bourgeois government in this era. While shouting for freedom and liberating productive forces, he raised a butcher knife to the working people.

"Mr. Kosut, if the enemy is going to flood Budapest, everything we do is useless, and our personal strength is small in the face of the monstrous flood.

I suggest that you now prepare for the future, save the revolutionary tinder as much as possible, and continue this sacred cause. "Henrik Denbinski frowned.

This is also the experience of the Poles, but what kind of setbacks have gone through, and the tinder of the revolution has not been extinguished. Of course, the wave of being smashed by the Soviets was considered bad luck for them.

"Let's not take the initiative and concentrate our efforts to kill a **** road, so as not to involve the people in the city and follow the suffering of the war!" Petofi couldn't help but propose.

As a passionate young man, he couldn't afford the ruthlessness of letting the people of the city follow the funeral. Unfortunately, he didn't count on these issues.

Kosut shook his head and said, "The initiative to strike is undoubtedly hitting the stone with the eggs. Now the enemy wants us to take the initiative to come to the door.

Even if the enemy is to flood Budapest, after the attack is frustrated, the Vienna government cannot immediately make up its mind. This is our opportunity.

The Venice war has reached a critical moment, and the Austrians are still fighting against the Italian state. As long as our allies win the war, the situation will change.

The decaying Austrian government has no courage to fight, and when the enemy is trapped inside and out, we will ask the French to mediate and the revolution will succeed! "

Obviously, for a long time of failure, Kosut no longer believes that the Hungarians can achieve national independence by themselves, but instead pins their hopes on the intervention of international forces.

"Mr. Kosut, from a military point of view, I have to remind you that there is very little hope for the Italian state to win this war," Henrik Dembinski warned.

Of the four Italian states, only the Kingdom of Sardinia is investing in **** battles with Austria. Even if they fortunately conquered Venice, they did not support Hungary. "

The allies in Italy cannot be trusted, and the French are even more unreliable. They are still revolutionizing themselves, and they want to interfere in the Hungarian revolution?

"No, we still have allies. The revenge of the Habsburg dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, has just completed its system reform, and we can invite them to intervene in this war!" Kosut said fiercely.

He has made up his mind to cede Transylvania to the Ottoman Empire. As long as Hungary can become independent, part of the price is acceptable.

Since 1792, the Ottoman Empire has been reforming, from the initial military reform, to the introduction of technology, to economic reform, and finally to political reform.

In this era, the Ottoman Empire is still progressing. They have imitated the systems of European countries to reform, although they have not yet achieved the goal of rich countries and strong soldiers.

"No, the Ottoman Empire and Hungary have a century of blood feud, and cooperation with them will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the room!" Petofi hurriedly opposed.

Opening the history book of Hungary, the battle with the Ottoman Empire occupied nearly half of the content. Both sides have been dead for hundreds of years. Now cooperation with the Ottoman Empire is all about seeking skin with tigers.

Moreover, the hatred accumulated by the people is not something they can control. Religious beliefs are even more difficult to cross. If the Hungarian soldiers and the Ottoman army are to fight together, it is estimated that the fighting has not started before they will be instigated.

Kosut insisted: "For the great cause of revolution, nothing can be sacrificed. The Ottoman Empire is indeed our enemy, but our position on the issue of Austria is the same.

As long as Hungary can obtain independence, we can wait until the future to solve other problems. At that time, the British, the French and even Europe will be our allies! "

...

The plan always couldn't keep up with the changes. Just as Kosut was preparing to unite with the Ottoman Empire, changes took place on the battlefield in Venice.

The term "three minutes of heat" describes the Italians very well, and their fighting spirit has been worn away for several days of continuous fighting.

The key point on the battlefield was the focus of the Battle of Trento. Marshal Bardolio ordered three days to capture Trento. As a result, three days passed and Trento was still Trento, Austria.

The artillery had reached the front and still had no eggs. Even during this period, Marshal Bardolio sent another division to assist, but no progress was made.

After the officers and soldiers exchanged their life-saving experiences, the casualty rate of the Sardinian army dropped sharply, and the number of casualties per day was controlled to within three digits.

It should be a good thing that the number of casualties should have decreased, but the problem is that the reduction in casualties is based on the premise of soldiers avoiding war, which is not beautiful.
