This was clearly beyond the limits of what the aristocracy could tolerate, for they were not prepared to break with Austria completely, let alone cross that chasm.

The big merchant capitalists were also very opposed, because the economy of the Austrian Empire had improved in recent years, and in fact, even without Franz's intervention, Austria was far more valuable than Hungary for investment.

Over the years, a lot of Hungarian capital has flowed to Austria, and they have made huge profits from it, so the voice of the merchants and capitalists has been rising.

But these people are essentially profit-seeking, and it is impossible for them to keep the money they earn at home, and they cannot invest it in Hungary, which is far less profitable than Austria.

Therefore, their interests determined that they were not determined to fight Austria to the end.

However, the difficulties of the fighters and the high level of debt forced Kossuth to find a new solution. This radical nationalist policy was very much to his liking, and had previously been hampered by the constraints of the aristocracy and capitalists.

At this time, the aristocracy and capitalists were clearly unreliable, and they were unwilling to lend more money to the nascent Hungarian government.

Kossuth wanted to fetch it himself, but he had no choice but to have guns and troops in his hands.

Pedolfi, who had just returned to Buda and Pest, expressed his concerns.

"Mr. Kossuth, if this policy is expanded, it may lead to a situation that is difficult to manage. We should first enlist those who have their hearts set on our greater Hungary to join our cause.

This should also include the Germans who have usurped our land, and if they are willing to switch to Hungarian and join us in the fight against the evil Austrian Empire, they will be able to gain their land.

I've been to Vienna, and the Austrians are far more powerful than we can imagine. If it really comes to the point of life and death, we are very likely to become sinners of the Magyar nation. ”

What Pedolfi said was exactly what Kosuth feared, but now the progress of Hungary's Magyalization policy is too slow, and the land and fiscal policies are even more difficult to implement.

The Reichstag made numerous reforms, but on the one hand, they had to be blocked by vested interests in every possible way, and on the other hand, few could really be implemented, and the Austrian threat was imminent, so Kossuth had to find a new way out.

"My dear brother, I understand your concerns, but you have to believe that we Magyars are the best people in the world, and we are just taking back what belongs to us.

We are fighting for freedom, justice, and equality, and those Austrians are only fighting for the emperor who enslaved, oppressed, and exploited them, and the final victory must be ours! ”

Kossuth's burst of chicken blood made Pei Duofei's heart slightly better, and the latter did think in his heart that what he did was righteous, and he could endure the blood of so many innocent people.

Tyutkale did not think so, and the "bravest man in Hungary" felt that all those who could not speak Hungarian should be killed, including the great nobles and merchants who advocated peace with Austria.

Hungarian was considered an inferior language by the Hungarian aristocracy before Count Széchenyi advocated Hungarianism, so most of the great nobles in power still did not speak Hungarian at this time.

"Mr. Pei Duofei! I know you're very knowledgeable! But your poetry will not kill the Austrians, nor will it give us freedom and respect! We're going to have to rely on this! ”

Tyutkale took out a dagger and shook it, then said to Kossuth.

"Mr. Kossuth, I am willing to lead the Self-Defense Forces to destroy the enemies who have usurped our land!"

The Self-Defense Forces are the name of the new Hungarian army, and its meaning is to show that the Hungarians were forced to go to war, not to rebel actively, let alone to attack consciously and planned.

British and French newspapers also vigorously advocated the rationality and necessity of the Hungarian war of self-defense, and even compared it to the Greek War of Independence.

There are even mysterious organizations and tycoons who call on everyone to donate money and materials, and even go to Hungary like Lord Byron to directly participate in this great war.

Since April, nearly 20,000 people have been arriving in Hungary from all over the world, two-thirds of them from Poland, including the famous General Bém (who, as mentioned earlier, did not die after the Battle of Galicia).

The Austrian media directly pointed out the essence of the Hungarian Self-Defense Forces selling dog meat with sheep's heads, but it was not accepted by the mainstream view of Britain and France at this time.

Even the fact that the Hungarians had been attacking the Austrian fortress of Pressburg was considered a reasonable and necessary means of defense.

As for the trendy name of the Self-Defense Forces, it was naturally not coined by Kossuth, but deliberately conveyed by Franz using the spies planted by his side.

But the name and its intentions were soon recognized by Kossuth, and the Austrian spy became Kossuth's cronies.

Eventually, the plan for the future triumvirate in the Hungarian army was adopted, and the Hungarian parliament adopted a new national policy.

In order to gain the consent of the great nobles and capitalists, Kossuth promised to transfer 50% of the booty to the nobles and capitalists at a low price.

As long as the benefits are large enough, then a part of the loss is acceptable.

Gergay Artur, János Damojanic and Heinrich Deme finally got their chance to show their talents.

A bespectacled, bronzed-skinned young man casually tossed half of his pig's hand to his hound.

Maybe he has been in that foreign place in North America for a long time, and he can't see the appearance of that young boy in him.

"Wow, I've been waiting for a long time! Victory, death! ”

A group of steampunk men who don't match the idyllic landscape roar with wrenches and weapons in the air, and a strange steel behemoth at their feet.

Schleswig.

Old Moltke looked at the ravine-crisscrossed battlefield in front of him with some embarrassment, he didn't know what King William IV wanted to do.

But these trenches were completely unnecessary, since the combined Danish and Swedish forces were far inferior in number to the German coalition led by Prussia.

In fact, not only Moltke the Elder, but also Friedrich Karl Alexander as the commander-in-chief could not understand His Majesty's orders.

At this time, the Prussian army had an absolute advantage, and the Danish army made frequent mistakes, and he had at least several chances to completely annihilate or inflict heavy damage on the opponent.

However, Wilhelm IV did not allow the Prussian army to attack, which made the Prussian army very aggrieved.

Especially in the case of the Austrians' successive victories, Friedrich Karl Alexander could not sit still as the younger brother of Wilhelm IV.

Friedrich Karl Alexander wasn't as violent as Prince Shotgun, but he didn't want to continue to miss the opportunity.

When the news reached Berlin, Wilhelm IV was once again in fear, he did not have the courage to go to war, so he decided to replace his younger brother with the veteran Fogel.
