Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

The capital of Transletania is Budapest, the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, and the population is mainly Hungarian. Hungarians account for more than 10 million people, accounting for more than half, Romanians account for more than 3 million, Croatians account for nearly 3 million, and Serbians account for nearly 3 million. There are 2 million people, and Slovenia has 1.5 million, which is better than other ethnic groups.

"The issue of population composition has triggered the conflict of interests between the two parties. In addition, the economy of Neletania is far from comparable to that of Outer Letania. The consequences of these two polarizations will, if not integrated, be , maybe there will be a certain degree of turmoil in the end. After all, the initial union was because Hungary and other countries wanted a better economic life. If they cannot achieve it, what is the importance of union?" Alfonso couldn't help but think of In later generations, one can't help but feel some sympathy for him regarding the final outcome of this alliance.

In this regard, Omar who was standing aside chose to remain silent.

And now, far away in Budapest, Hungary, Janos is also thinking about this issue.

"The atmosphere in Vienna has gotten stronger and stronger recently. If it continues like this, maybe in the end, because Spain has no real support for us, it may turn into the Austro-Hungarian Empire falling to the German Empire again."

Orbán Vito, Speaker of the Hungarian House of Representatives, vented his dissatisfaction. Orban has always been an outspoken person at the center of the government. In his dictionary, Hungary's interests are above all else. He is a true Hungarian conservative, and although he is also of Hungarian aristocratic origin, he is. Because he has mediated many conflicts between the nobility and the common people, he has now been re-elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Regarding the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the north, it is not that he did not see the threat from Tsarist Russia. He even said that he very much agreed with such a move. After all, the threat from Tsarist Russia was there. However, this action was not completely completed. Taking the first action with the support of Spain will have the consequences of being so passive as it is now. Now it's actually spread in Vienna. Damn Vienna, after Spain did not give Vienna the support it wanted, there were rumors that it had turned to Berlin for support. This made many people in Hungary very dissatisfied, including Vito.

Gyula András, the speaker of the Hungarian House of Nobility, is actually not satisfied with many of Vienna’s actions. Andrássy was originally the former Prime Minister of Hungary, and he single-handedly contributed to the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But. As it develops over the years. In particular, Austria's economy has begun to distance itself step by step from Transletania, headed by Hungary. Nowadays, many things are starting to deviate from what was originally expected.

Therefore, András is now beginning to have doubts about the original joint decision. After all, it seems that Neletania on the other side of Vienna will gain the greatest benefit from the final joint effort to form an empire. Didn’t you see, the current economic structure of the two parties has become one that provides food and mineral resources? , is consumption waiting there? This is simply using this place as a warehouse over there, or in other words, treating this place as a farmland and food production area over there.

This is definitely not the situation he wants. Therefore, Andrász has begun to take one step at a time and take ten steps on many issues in recent years, and is taking more actions to safeguard Hungary's rights. In this regard, his position has begun to slowly approach that of representing the interests of the people. Vito.

In this regard, as his most valued protégé, Janos Hardik, has obviously noticed this. It can be said that now the three of them have subconsciously begun to feel some resistance to Vienna. . So take the issue of military expenditure sharing for several years. It was precisely because of this that it was finally postponed from 1900 to 1907 before it was finalized. In the end, Hungary's share was increased from 30% to 36%. This result can be said to be theirs. What brings people together.

András: “Many actions in Vienna have now begun to move more and more towards the point of dictatorship. For us, this has already involved our bottom line. If this continues, our final goal will be The result may be unbearable.”

He glanced at János Hardik, who was silently standing aside, and gritted his teeth and said: "If this is the case, then it would be better for us to choose to return to the original governance."

János Hardik and Orban Vito were shocked, and then looked at Gyula András in disbelief.

"We originally gathered together for profit, especially in the face of the expansion of Tsarist Russia. But now, although Vienna is taking such actions, Tsarist Russia has now begun to shrink back, especially under the leadership of Spain. It seems that the response is chaotic. This time we are the first to attack. Although it is good, but it is with the static support of Spain. If, I mean, if we follow these rumors that I don’t know whether they are true or not, we fall again. To the German Empire, then the final result may be that we gain the reputation of being dishonest and mercenary, and it will also anger Spain. So what is the final result, I think the people here should be."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Janos seriously, and then shut up. Obviously, what should be said has been said. He knew that as a prime minister, sometimes he did not need others to put too much pressure on himself. In that case, , may give others different desired results, this is everyone's natural reaction.

Obviously, Orbán Vito also understood this, so both of them chose to wait for Prime Minister János Hadik’s decision.

As the most powerful representatives of Hungary, the three of them will determine the future of Hungary and other Transletania. Therefore, the three of them are quite cautious in many matters, and they also choose to wait for their own interest groups. , choose a more complete way of cooperation and work together, and it will be the same this time.

Janos: "This time I contacted the other two parties on behalf of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the final result was some unexpected surprises."

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Janos continued: "Spain agreed to provide us with more low-interest funds and loans." He looked up at the two of them and said seriously: "Five hundred million in three years, five hundred million." Peseta”

Five hundred million! Orban Vito and Gyula András took a deep breath. Spain is really rich and can afford such a large amount of money. With such 500 million pesetas, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will have a lot of funds to carry out various investments. At that time, maybe the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be able to develop economically and militarily in the short term. It might even be on the first floor.

Janos's expression was not very good, which made the other two people a little confused. After all, the other party should be happy to receive such a large sum of money. However, Janos is not very happy now. Is there any change in this? This made them a little uninterested after they had just learned the amount of the payment.

"This fund has been booked in Vienna in a huge amount. When Archduke Ferdinand was meeting with Ambassador Eugene, he had already discussed the whereabouts of this fund," Janos said to the two of them:

"These funds will be used in the form of weapons to purchase 200 million pesetas of Spanish weapons, especially aircraft and Spanish tanks. Another 200 million will be used to strengthen the construction of roads and railways in Neletania, so that It will be used for military and economic development. Especially in the northeast, the remaining 100 million will fall on Transletania, and the focus will fall on Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina."

"What?" Orban Vito said angrily: "Isn't this directly making the decision for us? In that case, what do you want us people to do? Just remove us people. As expected, the people "People have spread the word well. Compared with His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness Archduke Ferdinand obviously prefers to act arbitrarily." In anger, Orban Vito directly omitted the title Crown Prince.

Gyula András was also very angry. This was simply a direct overstep of authority. According to the agreement, the central government could only manage the diplomacy, military and international politics of the two places. However, in terms of governing their respective regions, Transletania, represented by Hungary, They have the right to manage their own economic and political independence and other matters. What does this mean now? The funds obtained for diplomacy are allocated by others. Is this ultra vires?

When Janos heard about the sudden payment from Spain, he was so angry that he vomited blood. This approach actually caused the lubricant in Hungary to dry up and burst into flames. Obviously, people have begun to want to oust him as the head of the Hungarian government. This was absolutely an act of contempt for him.

Therefore, in his mind, many thoughts had already appeared during the return trip. Therefore, he convened this meeting of several giants in Hungary in order to formally establish some issues on some issues. common ground on issues of interest. Obviously, this also achieved the effect he wanted based on the current attitudes of the other two people. However, he still had some vague ideas about Spain's attitude this time. In short, his attention had begun to shift towards Spain instead of the original German Empire. Even he himself did not really notice this.

In April 1913, it had been half a year since the intermittent small battles, or conflicts, between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia. Compared with the beginning, the war had turned towards Spain instead of the original German Empire. This even made him There is no real discovery.

In April 1913, it had been half a year since the intermittent small battles, or conflicts, between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia. Compared with the panic that everyone felt at the beginning, now everyone has taken it for granted, just like eating and roasting. Like bread, it has become an after-dinner conversation topic for many people around the world.

However, on the 12th,... What happened on this day disrupted their thoughts and made them even more uneasy than before. (To be continued...)
