Chapter 1818: Dust Settled in Hungary 1
"Prime Minister Tisza, order has been restored in general cities and towns throughout Hungary. We have resettled more than 60% of the population in Hungary. From the current point of view, people's emotions are stable, and supplies are relatively sufficient." In the opinion villa in Veszprem, west of Budapest, Count Tisza, who escaped from Budapest, once again accepted the post of Prime Minister of Hungary given by the Austrian Emperor and began to perform his duties again.
Within a week or so after Count Tisza arrived here, officials from the former Hungarian government who finally agreed to cooperate with Vienna began to arrive here one after another, and established a provisional government with the help of the Austrians. The main work they have to do now It is to help Vienna stabilize and rebuild the domestic order, and at the same time suppress the traitors in Hungary.
"When I came to Veszprem, I was very contradictory, because I knew that when I crossed this threshold, the great Hungarian kingdom I had hoped for would leave me, because only those loyal to Vienna are welcome here. People, Hungary and Austria are no longer equals. We will be subjugated and become provinces in a new empire. Our parliament will no longer have influence on the central government, and even some internal rights will be deprived, but It's a pity that we have no other choice, and if we were purely Hungarian, we might not even be able to survive this winter." A former Hungarian official wrote in his diary.
But compared to ordinary Hungarian people, they welcome the Austrians very much, because the Austrians brought them much-needed food, clothes, fuel, and the most precious order and peace! At this time, the belief in the so-called "Great Hungarian Kingdom" is far less than a piece of bread to them. The original Hungarian nobles and officials are no different from enemies in their eyes!
"Prime Minister Tisza, good day!" After hearing this familiar greeting, Prime Minister Tisza put down his work and looked at Earl Taft, the Vienna liaison officer who walked into his office.
"Hello, Your Excellency, I invite you here today to ask a question, when can we return to Budapest? And in the future, how should my government be structured?" Prime Minister Tisza asked.
"Within a week, your subordinates can return to Budapest to fulfill their mission. But I'm afraid you can't go back immediately. Because there is a very important ceremony that requires you to attend." Little Earl Taff said with a smile.
"Is there any ceremony more important than the re-establishment of the Hungarian Kingdom?" Earl Tisza frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly.
"The canonization ceremony of the new crown prince will be held this week. You will represent Hungary to participate in this ceremony, and then at the ceremony, His Highness the crown prince will wear the crown that symbolizes the Kingdom of Hungary." Little Earl Taff said.
"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor has reached an agreement with Crown Prince Ruprecht on this issue. Now I want to know who is so lucky to be able to get the consent of the two." Prime Minister Tisza said quite seriously, because He knew that this crown prince would directly determine Austria's national destiny for the next few decades!
"Princess of the Empire, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary, wife of His Highness Ruprecht." Little Taff made a choice that shocked Earl Tisza!
"Does this mean the merger of the Habsburg family and the Wittelsbach family? Even the merger of Vienna and Munich?! Have you considered Prussia's reaction?" Earl Tisza was really frightened. Tisza and Emperor Franz may have had many differences, but they were surprisingly consistent in their fear of German power. He knew that it was impossible for Austria and Bavaria to merge.
But this approach that may incur Prussian revenge really shocked him, even scared him!
"Bavaria will still remain within the territory of Germany. The eldest son of the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess will inherit the throne of the Austrian Emperor in the future. The second son will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Bavaria. In order to prevent accidents in the canonization ceremony, our diplomats will be in advance To communicate with the Kaiser and Berlin, I think whether it is Wilhelm II or Albert in Parliament will make the right choice?" Earl Taft said with a smile.
"You really chose a very good time!" Earl Tisza said with a complicated expression. Under such circumstances, as long as Bavaria does not announce its separation from the German Empire, neither the Kaiser nor the parliamentarians will make too much entanglement in the issue of Princess Mary inheriting the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, right?
What? You say you object? Whether it is the Kaiser or Albert, why should they object? ! Logically speaking, the choice of a crown prince by the Austro-Hungarian Empire still needs the approval of William II? What are you thinking? ! Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire is weaker, it is not like this! Moreover, in history, didn't it happen that a family controlled several kingdoms at the same time? There are many things like looking through the history of the Habsburg family! Even the Hohenzollern family, a family that only became NB later, did not also have the two royal families of Germany and Romania?
There is no problem with the issue of inheritance rights. Albrecht, the eldest son of the Crown Prince and Princess Mary, is not a German citizen, but has started to follow Princess Mary as Austrian nationality, and was born in Bohemia-Moravia Heir, now that Princess Mary has become the crown prince, there is no problem at all for Albrecht, who has Austrian nationality, to become the second heir to the throne! How logical is this? As for Crown Prince Ruprecht? It is estimated that it should be no problem to get a position of regent. After all, William II was still a British general... (True thing. European countries have a tradition of assigning false titles to foreign in-laws or monarchs.)
As for the objection, the current Kaiser and Albert really have no way to object, not to mention that at this time one party expresses "understanding" and the other party expresses "objection", the opposing party will definitely not see the sun next month. … So what if both sides object? What would the Prussian officer corps think? In their view, as long as Bavaria does not break through the final bottom line - independence, or merge with Austria, they will never take the initiative to launch an offensive. After all, once the war starts, everyone will be finished. As for the Kaiser and Eber special? In fact, as long as the officer corps is willing, it is no problem to change someone. The Kaiser has several sons, so it is not a big problem to choose one. As for the Social Democratic Party? What's more, there are many candidates, and we can always find a few who are willing to cooperate....
