Chapter 1773 Persuasion
"Well, the Emperor of Austria believes that the dual empire is not suitable for the current situation. It is indeed a very important factor to strengthen the centralization of power. Then? Are there no problems with you and your government?"
"Answer me, since the establishment of the dual empire, why is Hungary, with an area of 300,000 square kilometers, not as powerful as Bavaria, which has an area of only 78,000 square kilometers? Why is Hungary's industry less than one-third of the latter? Why? , has been used as a land barrier for the whole of Europe since hundreds of years ago, and has been fighting against the once powerful Ottoman Turkish Empire for hundreds of years. On your head?! Seeing this fertile land become what it is now, seeing the splendor of the aristocratic district next to you and the desolation of the poor district, don’t you feel a little touched? You and I both know that in this world , Weakness is the original sin!"
"Some people are clamoring all day to restore St. Stephen's crown to its former glory, clamoring to build a strong Hungary, but what are they actually doing? When people are still thinking about the 1000th anniversary of the founding of Hungary in 1896, Little do they know that under this colorful and majestic scenery, the whole of Hungary has become a stagnant pool, losing any motivation to move forward!"
"Nobles have also blocked the ascending channel as they have done for hundreds of years, crazily encroaching on the kingdom's resources like parasites, we wantonly oppress other nations, and try to rule others in a way similar to serfs, when someone points out that this is not possible Sometimes, you often say that the Kingdom of Hungary has existed in this way for 1,000 years, so it can continue to exist in the future!"
"Well then, let's see now." Morris walked to the balcony a few steps, opened the curtains and pointed to the city of Budapest, which was engulfed in flames and smoke, and said, "This is the result! There is no static system in this world." , there is no crown that will never fall! Every country is like being in the countercurrent. It does not know what to change. A country that cannot become stronger will eventually be eliminated by time! This is a materialistic world, not idealism, and it will not be because of Do whatever you want!"
"You can't make Hungary really strong, so you are losers! You can't let the Hungarian people live a good life, but you have fallen into civil strife for power and profit, so you are the sinners of the nation!" Morris finally said.
"That's why you joined the Austrian Emperor? They are Austrians! They are canceling Hungary's independence, they are splitting our country, trying to deprive us of our rights!" Tisza retorted.
"So, you can refuse Austria's request! No one is forcing you! If you think Austria is an invader, you can organize an army to drive them out of Hungary! Believe me, count, the whole of Hungary, even if Crazy people don't have this idea! You have been ignoring a problem. Hungary under your government is not strong, and weak people have no right to decide their own destiny. Look at your government. How can you think about it? The interests of the Hungarian people at the bottom? You can label yourself as the spokesperson of the Hungarian nation, but even the Hungarians only think that you and your previous government can only represent a small group of nobles!" Morris said loudly.
"If you have even one-third of the level of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ruprecht, then with the size and resource endowment of the Kingdom of Hungary, not to mention reaching the level of France, then at least you are much better than Italy? In a full 40 For many years, the Hungarian government has done nothing! The so-called era of Hungarian economic and cultural renaissance is a complete joke compared with the achievements of Bavaria in the north! Now Bavaria is an existence that even the Kaiser must pay attention to! Bavaria's external environment is more relaxed,
The interior was better in the beginning, but look now, how far apart are we? Those who shout to restore Hungary to its former glory are the biggest enemies of Hungary. They are just stealing power and wealth under the guise of a slogan! "Morris said sharply.
Morris carried out this negotiation completely according to the routine given above. As a Hungarian, national independence and the so-called "St. Stephen's Crown Territory" are national justice! It was also one of the great banners of those nobles and rulers and even bourgeois radicals. It is not easy to convince Tisza in this respect, which is the so-called moral high ground. No matter how many foreign titles the Esterhazy family has, as a Hungarian nobleman, Morris obviously cannot attack directly. It is also impossible to deny the existence of the Kingdom of Hungary from history, although the crown of the Kingdom of Hungary has gone to the top of the Habsburg family hundreds of years ago... .
Therefore, the Austrian Emperor or the think tank behind the Austrian Emperor gave Morris such an idea, well, you said that you represent the Hungarian nation, and you said that you want to restore Hungary to its former glory, so did you do it? No? !
History has given you decades to develop peacefully. As a result, Hungary has fallen into this situation. Who will bear the responsibility? In terms of area, Austria and Hungary are the same, and the population is similar. Even if Austria has a better foundation, Hungary will bear less expenses. It was also during the war, and the war pressure on Hungary was even smaller. Why is Austria fine now, but Hungary is the first to turn the world upside down? ! This is obviously the fault of you rulers!
So, from this point of view, Morris also started from the point of view of Hungary, but came to the conclusion that Tisza and his aristocratic government were a bunch of scum in the past ruling period! Of course, this is true in fact. Although Hungary did make progress during the dual empire period, the gap between you and other countries is not shrinking but widening. Then when there is a war, all problems explode!
As for Morris's rhetoric, Earl Tisza really couldn't deny it. Because when everyone knows the virtues of the Hungarian government, he really can't clean up the problems of the Hungarian government, even Prime Minister Tisza himself, maybe he is cleaner than Count Albany and Count Andrasy Jr. But it is also inescapable. And the biggest problem is that Prime Minister Tisza can no longer hold the banner of Hungarian nationalism to defend himself. Morris's words mean the same thing, you moths have the nerve to say that you are for the Kingdom of Hungary, for the Hungarian nation? !
