Before you know it, in June, factories have sprung up in Hungary.

The winter wheat season has arrived, and the golden fields are not only full of heavy ears of wheat, but also many new farm machinery.

Most of the factories are related to the food industry, and since Rudolph replaced several factories with new production equipment and implemented the production line model, the factory's production capacity has increased significantly, and the highly competitive products have received orders from the military.

The big Hungarian landlords were no longer satisfied with the mere sale of grain, they wanted to go one step further and make the transition to factory owners.

This is also the status quo of the aristocracy after industrialization, and the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years gives them an innate advantage.

Rudolph accelerated this process, and the new factory was impressive, but it was not a direct impetus for innovation.

Although the investment in factories is mainly in light industries such as food, grain and oil, it is still a long-term investment. The front line is in full swing, and if the war is lost, the whole country will be thrown into turmoil.

Conservative Magyars are not going to venture out with hundreds of years of wealth, especially in an area that they are not familiar with. The archaic way of production they have been going on for centuries is one reason why they are despised.

In the eyes of Western European countries, the Hungarian aristocracy was gloomy, treacherous, and greedy, and only suppressed and plundered other peoples. To this end, they also choreographed dark and terrifying stories such as bathing in the blood of young girls.

In fact, the world is as black as a crow, and the workers of London are not necessarily better off than the yeoman farmers of Eastern Europe. It's just that when they are in the world's largest metropolis, they will unconsciously puff up their chests when they think of the world's largest motherland.

Rudolph naturally did not criticize the Hungarians, but needed to unite them. Or rather, he needs Hungary's full support for this war.

Climbing relatives, it is useless to play the emotional card, Rudolph really took out real money. Not money, to be exact, the Austrian government has been driven crazy by high military spending, and the krona is depreciating sharply.

Machinery factories in the Czech Republic and Austria have been reorganized and incorporated into uniform standards and jurisdictions, resulting in significant improvements in productivity and costs.

Rudolf placed orders directly with them for various machinery and equipment, which he then resold to Hungarian investors at near cost.

The implementation of this plan was not easy, and everyone except the Hungarians questioned it.

Although Rudolph was in the name of supplying military supplies, the military court had sufficient evidence to find that he was reselling military supplies.

First of all, the factories, the civilian industries of the participating countries were militarily reorganized, and the Russians began to prepare for war with all their might, at the latest, after the defeat in the war in the spring of this year. But the Russian military industry was hopeless, a large number of workers joined the army, and after the outbreak of the war, the production capacity of the state arsenal plummeted. It's a pity that the Russian army purchased a large number of artillery after its defeat in 1905 is now facing the dilemma of having no ammunition available.

The situation with Austria-Hungary was not much better, the troops on the Eastern Front lacked everything, and ammunition needed blood transfusions from the Germans. In the whole war, Russia, Austria and Italy were completely comparatively bad, the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother, and everyone lowered the standards of the great powers together.

Rudolph came up with a trick to draw his salary, and in the face of the constraints of insufficient civilian industrial capacity, Rudolph insisted on promoting the industrialization process of Hungary. Valuable steel is occupied, as are the wagons for transport.

The new armored forces were also devastated, and the locomotive factories of Steyr, First Moravia, Kolburn and others were all engaged in the production of agricultural machinery. Hungarian peasants went into the factories, and in order to ensure agricultural production, they had to strengthen the mechanization mode.

The aristocracy and capitalists were also happy to pay for it. Grain goes into their factories, and their machinery and equipment are rented for grain production. The means of production are all in their hands, and they are all sure to make a profit and not lose money.

German aid was also intercepted by Rudolf, who monopolized chemical products and electrical equipment. Today's industries are not high-polluting sunset industries, but high-tech industries with the highest technology and profits.

Faced with high spending, Rudolf could only use the share of military aid to get the German government to sponsor it.

With opposition and support from all sides, Rudolph's plan finally got started, and now it is only waiting for gradual completion and production.

In the event of a crushing defeat on the Eastern Front at this time, the front commander and Rudolph will be fully responsible.

Rudolf had been in Budapest, and he, the quartermaster general, was on the verge of forgetting his job and had instead taken away the Hungarian government's duties as Minister of Industry and Agriculture.

With so much investment, of course, it is necessary to see results. Rudolf coordinated all aspects of work, assigned production tasks, formed a loose consortium. Relying on the dividends of the war, it will gradually become a monopoly organization mainly engaged in grain export and processing, which can not only control Austria-Hungary, but also radiate to the entire Central Powers. If the war is won, it also has the potential to occupy the entire European market.

Rudolf and his Hungarian friends imagined a bright future. He also invested money in it, although he did not have much of a stake, but he had a lot of say here. It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from the old emperor, Rudolph was the most popular Austrian among the Magyars. The two of them, one gives power and the other creates the future.

It's late June, and when the summer harvest is over, a new round of farming will take place on the Great Plains.

Agricultural vehicles appeared in the fields, and the liberated labor force entered the factories. The development of light industry led to the development of the whole region, and Hungary became more prosperous during the war.

Abundant and innovative food was sent to the front, and the soldiers praised Rudolph as a quartermaster. They only knew that living conditions had improved, but they did not pay any attention to the shortage of weapons and ammunition.

In fact, the food of the troops did not improve much, Rudolph only increased the supply of butter and cottage cheese, and the staple food of the soldiers was still brown bread and wild vegetable soup.

It was the field troops that were really improved, and the large number of processed products reduced the logistical pressure, and the troops were well supplied. Biscuits and dry bread were transported directly to the front, and the production of sausages increased. The supply of meat products was still limited, and the factory had to develop luncheon meat to meet the caloric needs of the soldiers.

They all had no money to provoke, and the landing force in Gallipoli ate all canned beef. This ration, which has been used since the Crimean War, tastes poor, but it shows the unrivaled financial power of the British Empire.

Rudolph's plan was considered a success, not only solving the problem of military supplies at the front, but also driving the development of Hungary.

The Hungarians were satisfied, as was the old emperor who loved the Hungarians, for which Rudolf was promoted to the rank of one rank.

Everything is moving in a good direction, not to mention guaranteeing victory, at least to see hope.

Rudolph is already thinking about how to return to the front in July, and it is not known whether he will go to Serbia or Poland.

On 4 July, Romania declared war on Austria-Hungary.
