Four hundred and seventieth chapters gradually become clear
Unity is so important to revolutionaries. If we cannot unite as one, nothing can be accomplished. In fact, it is not only important to revolutionaries, but also to any collective, organization or even country. Unity is very important.
Without unity and cooperation, there will be nothing but disunity and nothing can be accomplished. And now the Hungarian revolution is doing a terrible job on the issue of unity!
Gergey Artur is an example, but he is not the only example. In fact, he is not the only one. Kossuth’s unity work has also done quite poorly!
Looking at his strategy in this revolution, in a sense, he is responsible for the current passivity of the Hungarian revolution. Because he failed to unite other ethnic minorities in Hungary and surrounding areas, the Hungarian revolutionary government was actually attacked.
Attacks by Croatia and Serbia, both members of the minority group.
Obviously we are all poor people oppressed by the Habsburg family and should work together to seek independence and freedom. However, Kossuth's tough policy towards ethnic minorities directly contradicted all this, which directly led to the fact that only the Hungarians were fighting for independence alone.
Fight and even be besieged.
This is by no means a strategy that a qualified politician should have. In a sense, what Kossuth wants is the independence and freedom of the Hungarians. As for the other Croatia and Serbia, they should honestly accept the leadership of the Hungarians.
.
The problem is, you shouted for freedom when you were against the Habsburg family, but when it comes to dealing with Croatia and Serbia, you are completely different. Who are you bluffing?
As the saying goes, if a monk can touch me, so can I. As for the Croats and Serbs, since you Hungarians won't let us play, then why not let us negotiate terms with the Habsburg family and strive for a suitable result!
As the saying goes, politics is to make friends more numerous and enemies more isolated. Kossuth did not understand this truth at all, and naturally he could not succeed.
If you think about it, there is Kossuth above who refuses to unite, and below there is Gergei Artur secretly disobeying orders. You can imagine this prospect with your buttocks.
"What should we do?" Leboeuf asked a little listlessly.
"Wait and take a look and see where the situation goes. Don't rush now!"
Li Xiao's face didn't look very good either, because he found that his judgment before coming to Hungary was flawed, and he thought about the problem too simply. Every failed revolution had deep-seated reasons, not just because of the enemy.
Strong, mostly due to internal reasons, such as the Hungarian Revolution.
Li Xiao previously thought that as long as he showed some strength and gave Hungary a little benefit, he could help them and let them deal a heavier blow to Austria, but now it seems that things are far from ideal. The Hungarians have too many internal problems!
"The external enemies are strong, there is no internal unity, and the revolution has not been able to completely solve the substantive problems existing in Hungary. It has also offended other surrounding ethnic groups. No matter how you look at it, it is a cold rhythm!"
Although Leboeuf didn't understand what it meant to be cool, he could probably understand what Li Xiao meant. Anyway, he was not optimistic about the Hungarians.
But what he was curious about was: "What are the real problems within Hungary?"
Li Xiao did not answer him directly, but asked: "What is the biggest driving force for the Hungarian uprising?"
Leboeuf thought for a moment and replied: "Freedom?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Generally speaking, it is freedom, but in fact if you look carefully, the needs of all classes in Hungary are different. The middle class does need freedom. They want freedom of elections, freedom of the press, the elimination of censorship, and the abolition of the aristocracy.
Privileges, etc.! But for the peasant class, there is only one demand: the abolition of rural communes (serfdom)."
After a pause, Li Xiao said: "So in fact, what the middle class needs is a freer life, while the bottom class hopes to live a better life. But now, whether it is the Hungarian cabinet headed by Baujani or the cabinet headed by Kossuth
In fact, the National Defense Committee failed to meet the needs of the bottom! This made it difficult for them to fully mobilize the Hungarians."
"On the other hand, the radicals led by Kossuth and the conservatives led by Baujani and Szechenyi are still incompatible. There are huge cracks in the elites, so the entire Hungarian revolutionary government is a shabby house with leaks everywhere.
!”
LeBoeuf thought for a while and admitted that what Li Xiao said made sense, but he didn't understand what use it would have for them now.
“At first glance, it doesn’t seem to be of much use, but now the Hungarian revolutionaries are not completely divided within themselves, and as external pressure increases, Hungarians should unite in the face of a huge survival crisis, and they may be able to cope with it temporarily!
"
Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "So we still have to wait!"
LeBoeuf didn't like this answer. He didn't like to wait passively, so he suggested: "Otherwise, let's go to Vienna first! You can talk to Duke Gorchakov. Maybe there is an opportunity there.
?”
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "There won't be any opportunities there, and my identity is a bit sensitive now, so don't worry!"
LeBoeuf sighed and said: "In that case, let me think of more solutions!"
Leboeuf's natural solution was to contact more Hungarian revolutionary leaders. He felt that since there was no news from Kossuth and Artur was worrying, he should not hang himself on a tree.
, anyway, there are still many revolutionary leaders in Hungary, so you might as well contact Bojani or Istvan Széchenyi and give it a try.
Li Xiao really wanted to tell him that it was of no use, because although Baojani had high prestige, he was a constitutional monarchist, while Istvan Széchenyi was a progressive conservative. These two had a strong influence on the Habsburgs.
The family still has illusions and does not intend to really risk their lives with Austria. They are all conservatives.
Talking to them about how to deal with Austria is really a bit of a joke, so we might as well just sit at home, rest and wait and see!
Li Xiao's judgment was very accurate. Not only was Leboeuf disappointed after contacting Baojani and Istvan Széchenyi, at least he was unable to obtain anything useful. He worked in vain for several days.
However, as the situation gradually became clearer in the past few days, the time that Li Xiao wanted to wait for gradually matured. First of all, Gergey Artur was in trouble. He jumped up and down in Pest for a long time. The people who supported him sincerely
Not many, and even the conservatives Baujani and Szechenyi believe that the most important thing now is to implement the established policies of the National Defense Council, rather than to engage in random things.
This was tantamount to pouring cold water on Gergey Artur's head. In addition, he also fought a turnaround in Kossuth in the south, won a beautiful victory in Pacoz, and annihilated the invading Croatian army.
