Kossuth thought so, but the very nature of Hungarian nationalism could not accept all this.

After all, according to the division of Hungarian historians at this time, the Ottomans belonged to the lower class of the lower people.

The descendants of the great Huns had never been able to join forces with the descendants of slaves, let alone give their land into the hands of others.

However, the Ottoman Sudan Gid could not understand Kossuth's plight, and although the conditions of the British were extremely tempting, he did not intend to fight an uncertain battle.

McGid would not have declared war on Austria until Britain and France had actually sent troops to Austria.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire could no longer withstand the toss, so McJid had to be sure of victory.

Tyrol, Innsbruck.

Grand Duke Karl's assessment of the Ottoman army was completely vulnerable.

Austria had abundant information about the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman New Army was modeled after the Prussian Army.

But the government is underfunded, and neither training nor weapons can keep up. Coupled with some traditional shackles, the intensity of reform is very limited.

The overall size of the army was close to 400,000, but in reality the Ottoman Sultan was able to mobilize no more than 150,000 troops.

The Ottoman Empire itself was in turmoil, with Russia in the north, Egypt in the south, Persia in the east, and the Saudi kingdom in the southeast.

Coupled with the economic situation of the Ottoman Empire, they could raise 150,000 troops if they were full.

But even with these 150,000 troops, it was still not enough for the Austrian Empire.

Just one Belgrade, which had been run by the Austrian military for many years, required the Ottoman Empire to devote all its efforts to the possibility of capturing.

As for Western Bosnia and northern Albania, not to mention whether this mountainous area can be taken down, with the logistics of the Ottoman Empire, it is a big problem to maintain supplies.

"Franz, do you want to wait until you ascend the throne before you take the Ottoman Empire, and then expand your territory in the Balkans?"

"No, Grandpa Carl. The Ottomans didn't need us to do it themselves, someone would do it for us. ”

Franz sold out, but Archduke Karl reacted immediately.

"You mean the Russians?"

"That's right. Grandpa Karl, the tsar who did not want to fight the Russian-Turkish war, was not a good tsar. Nicholas I must have known this better than we do. ”

Franz quipped, but Archduke Karl was not as optimistic as Franz.

"Franz, you have to make it clear that Nicholas I will not treat you as one of his own because of his daughter's marriage to you, let alone change Russia's strategy for you.

The happiness of any person is a small and insignificant thing in the face of national interests.

And the gift you gave to the Russians was even less likely to change the Tsar's mind. ”

Archduke Karl's tone was particularly sad, after all, Franz's grandfather had done just that.

"Grandpa Karl, I don't judge the rights and wrongs of my ancestors, and I also know that personal interests are not worth mentioning in front of national interests.

But I believe that at least at this time, our interests are aligned with the Russians. ”

Franz paused and continued.

"As for the railway to the Black Sea, it was not just to curry favor with the Tsar, but also the key to the future."

Archduke Karl was accustomed to Franz selling off, and he was just wondering if he would ever see that day.

"Then you want to interfere with Belgian independence?"

"It's not us, it's the French who are interfering with the independence of Belgium. And we are only entrusted by the German Confederation to do justice. ”

Archduke Karl was a little helpless.

"Why are you using the English rhetoric?"

"Grandpa Carl, the Empire's propaganda machine is still too backward. Love and freedom, peace and justice, progress and democracy can all be used as pretexts for war.

The enemy is cunning, and we can only be more cunning than the enemy. At least until a new order is established."

"Franz is easy to say, but it's another thing to do."

Archduke Karl reminded.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Carl. I've got a helper. ”

Franz glanced out the window, and Archduke Karl followed Franz's gaze.

"Louis Philippe?"

"Yes."

"You let the French deal with the French?"

"Grandpa Karl, to be exact, let the former King of France, Duke of Germany, Louis Philippe testify for us."

"Interesting statement."

A quarter of an hour later, Innsbruck Palace.

"Oh! My dear brother! ”

After some traditional etiquette at the European court.

"Carl, how many years have we not seen each other!"

Louis Philippe was the first to speak, his posture lowered. On the one hand, it is the character that Louis Philippe has always created, and on the other hand, it is the shock of arriving in Tyrol for the first time.

Louis Philippe never imagined that there would be such an industrialized city in the middle of these mountains, and the buildings and roads along the way all reveal the word arrogant.

However, the main reason was that at this time Louis Philippe, or the Duke of Alsace-Lorraine, needed to rely on the great tree of the Austrian Empire.
