Chapter 1611： Surrender or die (1/2)
Chapter 1611 Surrender or destroy (5)
”The government can pay for it.” Prime Minister Tisza tried to make the last effort.
”Do you use krona? With all due respect, even with gold and silver, nobles are unwilling to surrender their land. Your standard is too low. Tens of thousands of noble families will lose their money in this revolution. Land!” said the little Count Andrahi.
”I think what we need most at the moment is to raise enough funds to buy food and fuel. Therefore, I propose to supervise the banking industry and control gold and other precious metals.” The little Earl Andrahi made a counter-proposal, as a great nobleman. Naturally, representatives of the government don’t want the government to buy land from landlords. Don’t listen to the redemption policy. What can the government offer at this time? Except for the depreciated krona, the Hungarian government can't provide much hard currency. What is the use of waste paper for nobles?
”I have no objection, but what I need to explain is that the bank's credit cannot be guaranteed now, so the bank's gold inventory is very limited.” Prime Minister Tisza is really tired now, which is obviously going to scratch the country. Money, if the country has money, what is the current situation?
”Unless we can let the people turn in the gold in their hands, we can also redeem it.” Prime Minister Tisza added.
”Haha.” The young Count Andrahi didn't bother to talk about this with Prime Minister Tisza.
”Earl Albany, you are the leader of the Independence Party. When the country is in trouble, can't you make some sacrifices? As the head of this country, we, as the head of this country, have to bear the obligations while enjoying the rights of the country. Undertake the obligation and those in power pay the price! Isn't this the inherent responsibility of our Hungarian aristocrats?” Prime Minister Tisza shouted almost desperately.
”I can give everything for this country, but I can't represent my party.” Count Albany said with ashamed face.
”Our situation is not necessarily as bad as imagined. The Austrian army will definitely take action against the Romanians. These insurgents are nothing more than stray soldiers. Now that we have left the war, the financial and material situation will definitely improve.
”Hehe, after a few years, I really want to know how the future generations will evaluate what we are doing today. I will go back and present my plan in the parliament. If it fails, then I will announce my resignation!” Sa got up and left after speaking. He was already disappointed in this country and nation.
Knowing his family affairs, Tisza has been prime minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for at least 6 years. He knew very well what was happening in Hungary. Even if the Romanian insurgents have broken up to the north, in the pro-Romanian Transylvania region, these wandering stragglers, with the support of the local people, can definitely entangle Hungary for a long time. Military expenditure will never be less.
