Struggle in Russia

Chapter 476 Gradually becoming clear

Unity is too important for revolutionaries. If they cannot be united, nothing can be done. In fact, it is not only important to revolutionaries, but to any collective, organization or even a country, unity is very important.

Without unity and cooperation, it will be a mess and nothing can be done. And now the unity of the Hungarian revolution has been poorly done!

Gergey Altur is an example, but it is not the only example. In fact, it is not only him. Kossuth's unity work is also quite bad!

Looking at his strategy in this revolution, in a sense, he is responsible for the current passivity of the Hungarian revolution. Because it failed to unite other ethnic minorities in Hungary and surrounding areas, the Hungarian revolutionary government was attacked by Croatia and Serbia, which belonged to the same ethnic minorities.

It is obvious that everyone is a poor creature oppressed by the Habsburg family, and they should work together to seek independence and freedom, but Kossuth's tough policy on ethnic minorities directly reverses all of this, directly causing only Hungarians to fight alone. fight, and even be besieged.

This is by no means a strategy that a qualified politician should have. In a sense, Kossuth only wants the independence and freedom of the Hungarians. As for other Croatia and Serbia, they should accept the leadership of the Hungarians honestly.

The problem is, you shouted for freedom when you opposed the Habsburg family, but when it came to dealing with Croatia and Serbia, it was another way. Who are you bluffing!

As the saying goes, what a monk can touch and what Lao Tzu can touch, for the Croatians and Serbs, since you Hungarians don’t take us to play, then why don’t we negotiate terms with the Habsburg family and strive for a suitable result!

The so-called politics is to make friends more and isolate enemies. Kossuth doesn't understand this truth at all, and naturally it is impossible to succeed.

If you think about it, Kossuth does not talk about unity at the top, and Gergey Altur is secretly disobeying orders at the bottom. You can imagine this prospect with your ass.

"Then what shall we do?" Lebouf asked a little listlessly.

"Wait a while and take a look to see how the situation is going. Don't be in a hurry now!"

Li Xiao's complexion is not very good, because he found that his judgment before coming to Hungary was wrong, and he thought the problem too simply. Every failed revolution has a deep-seated reason, not just because of the enemy. Strong, more internal reasons, such as the Hungarian revolution.

Li Xiao thought that as long as he showed his strength a little bit to benefit Hungary, he could help them and let them deal a heavier blow to Austria.

But things now appear to be far from ideal. The internal problems of the Hungarians are too great!

"The external enemy is strong, the internal is not united, and the revolution failed to completely solve the real problems existing in Hungary, and also offended other neighboring nations. No matter how you look at it, it is a cool rhythm!"

Although Lebouf didn't understand what it meant to be cool, he could probably understand Li Xiao's meaning. Anyway, he didn't like the Hungarians.

But what he is curious about is: "What are the real problems in Hungary?"

Li Xiao did not answer him directly, but instead asked: "What is the biggest motivation for the Hungarian uprising?"

Lebouf thought for a while and replied, "Freedom?"

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Generally speaking, it is freedom, but in fact, if you look carefully, the needs of different classes in Hungary are different. The middle class really needs freedom. Freedom of elections requires the abolition of the censorship system and the abolition of the aristocracy." Privileges, etc.! But there is only one demand for the peasant class and that is the abolition of the rural communes (serfdom)."

After a short pause, Li Xiao said: "So in fact, what the middle class needs is a more free life, while the bottom class wants to live better. But now whether it is the Hungarian cabinet headed by Bajani or the Hungarian cabinet headed by Kossuth In fact, the National Defense Committee failed to meet the needs of the bottom! This made it difficult for them to mobilize the Hungarians in an all-round way."

"On the other hand, the radicals headed by Kossuth and the conservatives headed by Bajani and Széchenyi are still at odds. There are huge cracks in the elite, so the entire Hungarian revolutionary government is a leaky house. !"

Lebouf thought for a while, and admitted that what Li Xiao said made sense, but he didn't understand how it would be useful to them now.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use at first glance, but the Hungarian revolutionaries are not completely divided, and as the external pressure increases, in the face of a huge survival crisis, the Hungarians should unite and may be able to cope with it temporarily! "

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "So we still have to wait!"

Lebouf didn't like this answer, he didn't like to wait passively, so he suggested: "Otherwise, let's go to Vienna first! You can talk to that Duke Gorchakov, maybe there is a chance there ?”

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "There won't be any chance over there, and my identity is a little sensitive in the past, don't worry!"

Lebouf sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll think about it more!"

Lebouf's way to think about it is naturally to contact more Hungarian revolutionary leaders. He feels that since there is no news from Kossuth and Artur is worrying, then don't hang on a tree. Anyway, there are still quite a few Hungarian revolutionary leaders, so it would be good to contact Bajani or Istvan Szechenyi and try again.

Li Xiao really wanted to tell him that it was useless, because although Bajani had high prestige, he was a constitutional monarchist, and Esteban Szechenyi was a progressive conservative. These two still have illusions about the Habsburg family, and they don't intend to really fight with Austria. They are both conservatives.

Talking to them about how to engage in Austria really means playing the piano to the cow, so it's better to sit at home and rest and wait and see!

Li Xiao's judgment was very accurate. Lebouf was not disappointed after contacting Bajani and Istvan Szechenyi, at least he failed to get anything useful. I have been busy for a few days in vain.

However, as the situation gradually became clear in the past few days, the time for Li Xiao to wait has gradually matured. First of all, Gergey Altur had a bad nose. He jumped up and down in Pace for a long time. There are not many people who support him. Even the conservative Bajani and Szechenyi think that the most important thing is now. It is to implement the established policy of the National Defense Commission, not to mess around.

This is tantamount to throwing a basin of cold water on Gergey Altur. In addition, he also fought a turnaround in Kossuth in the south, and won a beautiful victory in Pakoz, annihilating the invading Croatian army. ...
