Fortunately, Kossuth had a thick skin, otherwise he would not have been able to stand up to being ridiculed like this. At this time, apart from secretly resenting Széchenyi for not giving him face, he felt no other discomfort.
Of course, the question had to be answered, but he still didn't have any good ideas, so he could only deal with it: "As for the method, it definitely needs to be considered slowly, and it must be refined. Otherwise, what will happen if something goes wrong if it is not suitable? This
Is it you or me who bears the responsibility?"
This is a typical politician. There are no solutions, but there are a lot of nonsense. If you are stupid and say that you should shoulder the responsibility, then this guy will go to the parliament and push all the matters to you, and then
Say the responsibility is all yours.
Fortunately, Széchenyi was not a novice in the political arena, and he still had the most basic common sense. He knew that Kossuth just wanted to shirk responsibility, so he responded to him simply: "If there is no other way, just say it. That's all."
What's the use of nonsense? Besides, you are the Minister of Finance, and related issues are your responsibility. If you can't shoulder this important task, just resign and step aside to make way for others... It's nothing to occupy the manhole and not shit!"
Kossuth has been severely criticized, and Széchenyi’s blow hit the critical point. It is true that in order to seek political power in his position, your Kossuth, as the Minister of Finance, must solve related problems, but you cannot solve them.
You should get out of here, how can you stay here so shamelessly?
But Kossuth had to stay here, so he immediately got angry and said: "Count Szechenyi, it seems that you are not here to ask questions and find solutions to problems today... I think you are drunkards."
It’s not about the wine, this is a joint effort to force me to step down from the palace!”
This is really shameless. People are just talking about the matter, and at most they just make a few sarcastic remarks. Why do you suddenly take the blame? This is a typical example of getting angry and frustrated, and judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
!
Széchenyi was already angry with him, but when he saw Kossuth trying to act rogue again, he couldn't help it and retorted: "Forcing you to step down? What a joke! If I were as bad as you, I would have realized it long ago.
Resigned as Minister of Finance... Only a shameless person like you has the nerve to continue to hang around!"
"I'm going to make it clear to you today. Either you find a way to solve the problem quickly, or you get out of here! Hungary doesn't need a finance minister who doesn't do practical things!"
In fact, Kossuth was just threatening, forcing Szechenyi to give in. He felt that as long as he showed his attitude and became stronger, the other party would definitely give in. But who would have thought that Szechenyi would not accept this trick at all, but instead
He also threatened him, his attitude was that he would not stop until he died, which made him feel a little anxious!
Kossuth was playing tricks and met someone even more unreasonable. His threats were not only ineffective, but actually angered Széchenyi, causing this honest man to explode.
It was quite terrifying for an honest man to break out, and Kossuth was immediately thrown into the corner. Now it seemed that there were only two choices before him, either to solve the problem or to get out of his own way. But, he didn't like either of these options.
Although the position of Finance Minister is a bit hot for the time being, it is still very beneficial to occupy this position.
The advantage of this position is that it directly manages money. For the current Hungarian revolutionary government, apart from the army, the government's power is finance. Other transportation, economics and trade, and agriculture are either empty shells or hot potatoes, or they have no power or no one.
It must not be touched.
Only this financial power is a real benefit, and he can control how much money is spent, and it can also block Baujani, the prime minister, from using his position as prime minister to deliver benefits to his faction.
How could he let go of such a key position? Not to mention being scolded, even if he was slapped with a big mouth or driven away with a gun, he would not give up the throne of Finance Minister.
What's more, Széchenyi was uncharacteristically aggressive today, which made him feel that the other party was just after the throne of Finance Minister. The more the enemy wanted, the more he would naturally refuse to give it to him.
So he immediately retorted: "Whether I, the Minister of Finance, is competent or not is not up to you. You came here today to force me to step down without reason. Do you think I don't know what your plans are? I tell you that as long as I am here, your conspiracy will be over."
Don’t try to succeed!”
This is what he said. If Baojani really took the risk, he, as the prime minister of the government, could still immediately remove Kossuth. As for whether the removal will lead to the collapse of the United Revolutionary Government, that is another matter.
.
Of course, even if the government falls, according to the Hungarian constitution adopted in April, Baujani will still be the caretaker prime minister. It is really hard to say whether Kossuth can win the new election and successfully form a cabinet. After all, although the radicals and republicans are somewhat
Advantages, but the advantages are not absolutely huge. Without the cooperation of conservatives, they can really form a government independently.
So Kossuth really doesn't have the courage to fall out immediately. He is just bluffing to block Jani and Széchenyi, and he doesn't want to break up the cooperation, and he doesn't have the courage to fight to the death.
So was he right in his bet?
If it was Baojani who came, he would really have fooled him. This good old man Baojani really became a nominal prime minister and always liked to maintain unity with Xini. But today Széchenyi also came with him.
, and Szechenyi is not as good-tempered as a good old man.
Szechenyi has been dissatisfied with the current painful situation for a long time. He has long been fed up with the cowardice of Kossuth and his gang. Now Kossuth is still messing around, making him completely disappointed with the coalition government. He
If you feel that continuing to cooperate is meaningless, then let’s just show off!
So he didn't bother to talk to Kossuth and said to Baojani: "My friend, you have seen it, this is their attitude. When talking about serious business, they will either ignore him or just mess around! This
How to cooperate and how to work? If you allow them to continue like this, then I will first withdraw from the coalition government and choose to resign!"
Baujani was immediately in a dilemma. Although Szechenyi's position in the cabinet was relatively nonsensical and he had no real power, he was the number two figure of the conservatives. Once he chose not to play, a large number of people in the conservatives would
Choosing to advance and retreat with him means that their family will first be divided internally.
Conservatives who are not divided are not opponents of radicals and republicans, and they are even less opponents after splitting. How can he continue to play as prime minister like this? What's more, Széchenyi is still his good friend, if he really lets him go
, the friendship of many years is completely over!
