Chapter 1106 Reincarnation

At that time, the city of Pressburg was still undergoing the final mobilization work. The priests accompanying the army allowed the victims of the Hungarian rebellion to take turns to come to the stage to complain. The propaganda envoy was responsible for the final finishing work and announced all the crimes of the Hungarian rebels in 1848. , and published an article criticizing the rebellion.

"In 1848, the world was in turmoil and everything was in chaos. My emperor was ordered to punish the thieves and refused to allow the British, French, and Xiao Xiao to go outside the country, but failed to give them training.

However, the Hungarian princes are ambitious, disregarding the laws of heaven and human relations, ravaging the territory, destroying lives, and even intending to tear apart mountains and rivers.

Unjust people will always do unjust things. He is a disaster, bullying the weak by relying on the strong, colluding with foreign barbarians, and poisoning the world. The poor people of the weak tribe will take away their belongings, plunder their children, trample on their lives and trample on their dignity.

What he did is really the anger of God and the resentment of people, and the anger of God and man!

Our emperor's empire is really the empire of all peoples in the world. It does not belong to the Hungarian family, nor is it a plaything of injustice.

Now my emperor is furious, and the world is looking forward to it. We will rise up and attack him to restore justice to all people.

We are not fighting this battle for personal enmity, but for justice.

May you all rise up, share the hatred of the enemy, and rectify the way of heaven! "

(Some book friends are asked to switch to the translation accent on their own.)

(Propaganda Inspector, a newly established official position in the Austrian Empire, the superior of the Propaganda Officer.)

In addition, the Austrian Imperial Statistical Office also released a series of shocking figures. Since the Hungarian Rebellion in 1848, more than one million imperial citizens have been killed.

The Hungarian national elite took the opportunity to plunder 30 million florins of land and embezzled at least 590 million florins in taxes in the 33 years since the anti-French war ended.

(The traditional measurement unit of land in the Austrian Empire, Joch, is still used in some areas today, but it is just a conceptual value, and even Austrians cannot tell how big it is.

It originally refers to the area of ​​land cultivated by a cow in one day, but due to different regions and different working hours, the upper and lower limits of this value vary greatly. )

Is there any data source for these numbers? Of course! As to whether these numbers are real, no one knows.

But it is undeniable that these figures have indeed aroused the anger of the vast majority of people, because that money and that land should belong to them.

Those more than one million people should not have died. This number shocked people, and then they thought of their lost relatives and friends. If it hadn't been for this rebellion, they might not have died.

Anger can easily swallow up people's sanity, and anger and fear are the most contagious emotions, so no one will delve into whether these numbers are correct.

Finally, the Propaganda Supervisor announced that all spoils, including land, would be returned to the state treasury, and part would be used to compensate the people for their losses, while the rest belonged to the soldiers who participated in the war.

For some people, there is another reason to fight, that is, the royal territory is under siege, and millions of Germans are at risk.

The airship troops had already taken off first, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little more confident as they looked at the war beasts floating in the sky.

At this time, soldiers on the city wall suddenly shouted.

"Fire! The Hungarian camp is on fire!"

Several senior officers quickly checked through their binoculars and found that the Hungarian military camp was indeed surrounded by black smoke.

This was a good thing, but the officers looked at each other.

"What is going on? Is someone cooperating with us? Is it a trick of the Hungarians?"

Even Heinau fell into deep doubts, because the emperor Franz gave him the feeling of being an elusive person.

At this time, the priest accompanying the army shouted excitedly, "God bless our emperor! This is the Lord's punishment for the Hungarians! Attack quickly! God is with us!"

“God is with us!”

The soldiers shouted slogans and swarmed out. Hainaut and a group of senior officers did not bother to think about it. It was better to come early than to come by chance. Anyway, the preparations had been completed. They did not believe what tricks the Hungarians could play.

In fact, the task Franz gave them was to reshape a nation through a war. These soldiers did not understand this, but they knew how to make soldiers become brothers, and that was a fierce battle that could be won.

In fact, there are only two countries that can threaten all the ethnic groups in the Austrian Empire at this time, one is Hungary and the other is Russia.

Russia is an important ally of the Austrian Empire at this time, and now is not the time to go to war with Russia. Once Russia and Austria go to war, they will be isolated and helpless.

Russia is not an opponent that can win quickly, as history has already proven. The most important thing is that going to war with Russia will have almost no benefit to the Austrian Empire at this time. Franz is not a madman, let alone an idiot.

Therefore, Hungary became the best choice. Historically, Hungary's military power was too weak and its hatred value was not full. At least many people and many things have been selectively forgotten.

That's why this war is delayed again and again. Franz needs to let the bullets fly a little longer, let the news spread wider, and needs to create a terrible enemy.

However, the Hungarian national elite really disappointed Franz. Before the Austrian Empire's army started a formal attack, they almost destroyed Hungary themselves.

Due to the blockade of the Austrian Empire, Hungary was in very short supply of physical capital, but the Hungarian elite did not give up the opportunity to make money, and began to hoard goods one after another, causing prices to skyrocket.

While prices skyrocketed, people's incomes continued to decrease. In order to amass a large amount of wealth in a short period of time to cope with the current crisis, the country began to issue banknotes indiscriminately, resulting in further skyrocketing prices.

At the same time, taxes were constantly increasing, and farmers went bankrupt and fled to cities, causing further oversupply of urban labor and further collapse of the urban economy.

Many serfs who had just obtained land had to mortgage their land again, resulting in more serious land annexation.

The government was heavily in debt, but under the pressure of war and rebellion, the Hungarian government could only implement wartime economic policies, which led to further concentration of power, followed by greater corruption and embezzlement.

After the assassination of Duke Banyat, the old nobles in the army and the government were even more alienated. The army lacked supplies, but the number of troops was increasing, and the government could only delegate power to let the army solve it on its own.

Some officers have already tended to be independent after tasting the sweetness, while others are miserable. For example, such an important place as the Pressburg front line actually had a shortage of troops.

In fact, according to the estimates of the Austrian Imperial General Staff, the Hungarians should have invested at least 300,000 troops in Pressburg.

However, the reality is that there are less than 150,000 Hungarian troops outside Pressburg, while the size of the Austrian Imperial Army is close to 350,000.

But the most outrageous thing is that the priest said that the people in the royal territory who were in urgent need of rescue had already defeated the Hungarian siege troops.

Janos Damojanic had no choice but to flee. Before he fled, he set fire to the farmland outside the royal territory. In retaliation, the militia of the royal territory set another fire behind Heinrich Deme.
