Chapter 1699: This Is How the Leading Party Was Formed 2

Chapter 1699 This is how the Leading Party was formed 2

Morris did not believe the rumors that the relationship between the prince and the German Prime Minister Bismarck was tense. This was not only because the prince took great care of the prime minister's son Albert after Bismarck's death, but more importantly, he believed that the prince and this An iron-blooded prime minister has a strong connection with the people!

That is to ensure the welfare of the people, bring as many people as possible into the middle class, and leave a pretty good upward channel! Although responsible and capable nobles and controlled but capable capitalists control a large amount of the country's economic and political resources, it is undeniable that these people are still a minority in terms of absolute population. Therefore, the kingdom must take into account the interests of the majority of people!

Therefore, Ruprecht tried his best to ensure the living standards of ordinary people and allow them to benefit from the development of the kingdom. Through financial payment transfers, taxes, and benefits such as education, medical care, and pensions, the kingdom received benefits from the government, nobles, and capitalists. It has transferred a considerable part of the economy to the people, and encouraged and educated a group of talented people among the people to enter the middle class. This group of people includes engineers, teachers, financial practitioners, etc. In this case, after their lives are guaranteed and the people realize that they can benefit from the expansion of the empire, the civilian class will be of one mind with the government. This is why Bavaria is now the most stable country, and it will also bring Bohemia, One of the important reasons why the Moravia region also has a strong sense of identity with the Kingdom of Bavaria!

Everything in the Kingdom of Bavaria allowed Maurice to see the expectations of a perfect country in his mind. In other words, he had faith, and with faith, people's potential and subjective initiative can be greatly unleashed! So, it is no surprise that Morris wanted to move this model to Hungary. As for the independence of the Hungarian nation? In his opinion, although Hungary no longer has the title of king, for hundreds of years, the kings of Hungary have been foreigners... As for his family, it’s hard to say who has more German or Hungarian blood... As a result, Maurice and the entire Esterhazy family became important spokespersons of the Kingdom of Bavaria in Hungary. To paraphrase a later saying, it is the party that leads the way….

"So, Count Albany is just using us, and then after the internal fighting in Hungary is over, they will clean us up?" Pal asked.

"There will never be such a day. Whether it is Count Albany or others, they will only end in failure. They can't give Hungary a better tomorrow. They can't even survive this winter because they can't even meet the most basic needs of the entire Hungary. It doesn’t even have the ability to consume materials! Hungary’s food is not enough, and its industry is also very backward. Therefore, it must rely on Austria and even Germany to survive and develop. The dual empire of the year illustrates this problem. But now, we are just It’s just a slight change on this basis,” Morris said.

In fact, Fritz's reform still allowed the retention of Hungary's national character, but only strengthened the central power. The purpose of Fritz's action was actually to gradually turn Hungary into a status similar to the states of the United States.

At the same time, try to integrate various ethnic groups as much as possible. And this is acceptable to Morris. After all, what the former did also took care of Hungary's national sentiments. What makes Morris even more satisfied is that the Austrian government is willing to conditionally accept Hungarian civilians who are currently living in difficulty.

As for how Morris views the Hungarian ultra-nationalists in the country? Just look at Transylvania in what is now southeastern Hungary…. If you can't even deal with the Romanian stragglers, how can you talk about Great Hungaryism? How can that small group of people who don’t have enough swords, don’t have enough money, are short-sighted, and are conservative and ignorant of change say that they represent the future of the Kingdom of Hungary? ! National pride also needs to be supported by examples, okay?

Count Albany also expressed doubts about the political leanings of the Esterhazy family. After all, the family's relationship with Austria and Bavaria was too complicated. But under the current circumstances, it is obviously not the time to consider this, because if this political struggle fails, then it will not be his turn to discuss the future situation in Hungary, and he will be directly liquidated by the radical bourgeois revolutionaries! Even in his mind, even if he and his party control the Hungarian government in the future, do they want to take away the lost territory from Austria? How do you get it? Should you rely on words or fight with real swords and guns? Count Albany himself had no idea.

For Morris, and for the boss behind him, using this incident to clean up some forces within Hungary is a necessary process for Austria to integrate Hungary in the future. Therefore, from this perspective, Albany’s Independence Party It’s really the best choice! Because the bourgeois radicals have a background from the Allied Powers, and the red forces are incompatible with them! The current situation is just that everyone has what they need!

"So who will be the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future?" Pal's sudden question made Morris feel a little uncomfortable because the question was too sensitive and too erratic.

"This issue is not something we can discuss." Morris said with some embarrassment.

"But this is something we must consider. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has completed its reorganization, and the central government has strengthened its efforts. And Emperor Fritz is obviously a little old. At this time, who will take over this brand new empire?" Pal asked road.

"Although His Majesty the Emperor is old, he is still in power. Behind us are His Majesty Fritz and the Crown Prince of Bavaria. They will consider this matter. No matter who comes to power, he will adhere to the will of His Majesty Fritz and the philosophy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We just need to know this." Although, as the spokesperson of Austria and Bavaria in Hungary, he has vaguely felt that someone will take over the crown that represents the glory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now, he really can't say it!

Earl Albany left with confidence after receiving Morris's guarantee. He still had many things to do. He needed to discuss with other nobles, bribe those wavering officers and their soldiers, and need to consider When will it start? However, he did not consider how the civilians of Budapest should spend this winter. In his opinion, as long as the aristocratic rule that the Austro-Hungarian Empire had maintained for hundreds of years was continued, nothing else mattered.
