Chapter 1324： Project 4 (1/2)
Chapter 1324 Shaking Plan (4)
”So, as long as I want, as long as I like, as long as I think it is necessary, I can detonate the Hungarian gunpowder keg at any time. Of course, the necessary incitement and bribery are also needed. These tasks have been done very early, and some may appear. The situation where the region leaves Hungary and joins Austria. Who knows this situation accurately.” Ruprecht said with a smile.
”If this is the case, then why don't you try to keep them inside the empire? We have a one-shot victory, why should we let them be independent?” Emperor Fritz asked.
”To give an improper example, when a policeman went to catch a robber and pointed his gun at the robber, if the robber was lucky, he thought the other party was afraid or said there was no bullet in the gun. , Then it will be stubbornly resisted. The police certainly have one shot to win, but the robbers don't think so, but when the police are forced to shoot, everything is too late, and the robbers want to regret it too late.” The prince said.
”I think it is difficult for Hungarians to recognize their status and abilities before certain things actually happen. Even if I tell them, they may think I am bluffing.” The prince smiled helplessly. ”They will continue to fight for benefits and even make some unwise confrontational moves. Therefore, as the worst plan, I think that lighting this gunpowder keg when necessary is the last choice!”
”Promise me, Ruprecht, as a last resort, don't take this step. I don't want to let the ancestors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire obtain the land for generations. That's it, abandon the empire while I am still alive! We can think of other ways. ”Fritz insisted.
”This, I am afraid it is difficult. To be honest, there is a huge gap in our expectations. Even if they only want to maintain their original strength and power, I still don't want to accept them in this way. There is an ancient saying that is very good, no I don’t know what happiness is when I experience hardship. Even if you want to accept them in the end, you must first let them taste the feeling of falling into the abyss.” The prince said.
”Let's do it, I don't care whether Hungary exists as a complete political entity, what I care about is whether they can accept the leadership of the empire. If it is the day when Hungary is about to separate, I hope you can reserve more for the empire. Many territories. Don’t forget, your children will inherit this country.” Emperor Fritz said this question at the end, and said no more.
”Well, then, let’s talk about your military deployment this time. What do we need to do?” Fritz didn’t know much about military affairs, but as an emperor, Fritz thought he still had to deal with this unprecedented war. A little bit.
”The main forces are the Bavarian Army and the German Army. The pressure is mainly borne by us, but the Austro-Hungarian Army still has to make its own contribution. The main tasks of the Austro-Hungarian Army have two points. The first point is to contain and the second point is to guarantee me. The logistics supply line of the army is unblocked and the occupied area is consolidated.” The prince thought for a while and said.
”The Russians have also learned lessons from the war. Except for the garrison area, most of their troops are deployed in depth, and considering the pressure of our encircled forces on both wings, we need the Austro-Hungarian Army to gradually take over the positions of some of the Bavarian Army. , So that we can free up more power. At the same time, before the real attack begins, I hope to launch a full-scale tentative attack to contain the Russians.”
”As for the second point? Although there are nearly 700,000 German troops participating in this battle. However, considering the breadth and depth of the battle and the pressure of several Russian armies, our strength is not very sufficient overall. Use. So I hope that the Austro-Hungarian Army can take over from us in time for the defense of some occupied areas so that we can continue to advance.”
