Kossuth's nose was so angry that he didn't get angry because Bertalan's performance was so poor. Just now he was holding his breath and preparing to hit Széchenyi in the head, but this stupid Bertalan came out and struck him.
I almost messed things up by interfering.
[Look at what you are doing! Don’t do porcelain work without diamonds...Okay, even if you have good intentions, you have to pay attention to your methods! I just said a few words to you, you?
You just messed up your position, and other congressmen thought you had a guilty conscience when they saw it! Didn’t you bring it upon yourself!]
What makes Kossuth especially angry is that it doesn't matter that Bertalan has a guilty conscience or that he is fierce and evil, but don't show it so obviously, look at him with a pitiful look, and think that this is all his fault.
Suter ordered it!
No matter how you look at it, it makes people angry. Of course, Széchenyi is not angry at all, he only feels happy. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he can finally make Kossuth and his gang feel defeated. It is so satisfying!
However, he did not get carried away, because just punishing one Bertalan was not enough to express his anger, he would continue to slap Kossuth hard in the face, so that the whole Hungary could see his embarrassing appearance!
Thinking that Szechenyi was ready to chase down the remaining bandits, Kossuth, who was more sensitive to timing, took action before he could take action:
"Count Széchenyi, I really didn't expect that you would be such a person who doesn't know right from wrong and helps the evildoers! Just now you said that I forced allocations in the issuance of new bonds and also threatened and coerced you. This is simply slander and slander. It is simply an outrage.
This is outrageous! I will never tolerate such baseless and malicious slander, and I will definitely pursue it to the end!"
The meaning of Kossuth's words is actually similar to what Bertalan said, but the momentum is completely different. Bertalan looked guilty and had no confidence, and he looked guilty even if he was not guilty. But Kossuth's side looked like he was guilty.
It is full of righteousness, roaring with justice at first glance, and it makes people feel at ease just looking at it!
The MPs who were still whispering just now were immediately calmed down by Kossuth, and began to look at Szechenyi suspiciously. They all wanted to know how this matter would end later. Will Kossuth win a big victory? Or Szechenyi?
How about defeating the enemy with one move?
Not to mention the onlookers, even Széchenyi admired Kossuth's courage and felt that the reason why this man was able to achieve his current status was that he was quite capable. At least, his ability to remain calm in times of crisis was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Learned.
If he hadn't already obtained tangible evidence, he might have been deceived by Kossuth. Thinking of this, Szechenyi couldn't help but feel more and more happy. He wanted to see what Kossuth's expression would be like when the evidence came out.
Can you still be as righteous and upright as you are now?
Taking a slow breath, Széchenyi made the first move: "Mr. Kossuth, everything I said is supported by evidence. There is a lot of evidence showing that you have frequently gone to threaten wealthy businessmen and nobles in Pest in recent times.
Forcing them to buy bonds, what is this but apportionment? In addition, you threaten them that if they don’t sell enough bonds, you will investigate their tax status, and accuse them of being Austrian spies. What is this but coercion?”
Széchenyi felt that he was sure to win. At least he would wait until Kossuth continued to deny it. He then asked the parliament to summon a few people who hated Kossuth so much that they would come forward to testify and confirm Kossuth's crimes.
Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to defeat Kossuth?
Szechenyi was eager to give it a try, but Kossuth smiled. He did not deny it blindly like Szechenyi, but replied: "This is your so-called evidence? Let me tell you this, you said that I have recently
I have been visiting the wealthy businessmen and nobles of Pest frequently for some time, that’s for sure! You and the gentlemen sitting here know that the Ministry of Finance is responsible for the issuance of new bonds. In order to sell these bonds, all my colleagues in the Ministry of Finance and I can only do it day and night.
In persuasion work, we can only visit wealthy gentlemen again and again to hope that they will donate generously. Is there a problem with this? Is it possible that the bond issuance work is just ignored!"
Széchenyi said angrily: "Don't evade the important and take the easy. What I mean is that you are threatening and forcing me to make a split!"
"How can this be evading the important and trivializing the trivial?" Kossuth was still so calm and retorted easily: "If you insist on distorting the work of persuasion into making apportionment, then I can only say that this is the most despicable frame-up! Some people are
They want to mess up the bond issuance work because they don’t want to see me achieve results, and they are just trying to hold me back! It’s really shameless!”
Széchenyi was furious, and his original rhythm was completely destroyed by Kossuth. Compared with Kossuth, he seemed like a clown who had the truth exposed.
Of course, he was not so easy to admit defeat. He still remembered that he had the last trump card, and he said angrily: "Don't think you can make false claims and confuse right and wrong. Let me tell you that I have witnesses. I have a group of witnesses who can prove your crime. I demand
…”
Before he could finish speaking, Kossuth interrupted him: "Your Majesty the Count, I would like to ask if your so-called witnesses are these gentlemen?" As he said this, he handed over a list to Seche.
Check it out.
After the latter glanced at the list suspiciously, his expression immediately changed, and he said in astonishment: "How do you know! Okay! You actually..."
Kossuth interrupted him mercilessly again: "Please be patient and listen to what I have to say. This list is the list of domestic tax evasion and espionage criminals that I am going to submit to Parliament today...according to
Through inspections by the Ministry of Finance and reconnaissance by the National Defense Commission, we have obtained evidence of these people’s crimes!”
As he said that, Kossuth glanced at Széchenyi contemptuously: "According to our investigation, there is a large amount of detailed evidence to prove that these people are either engaged in serious tax evasion and smuggling, or they are acting as spies for the Austrians.
Since then, they have leaked a large number of our secrets to the Austrians, causing us huge losses! I think such a group of scum must be severely punished, and they must be made to pay for their crimes!"
At this time, Széchenyi was so angry that his chest was heaving. He really didn't expect that Kossuth would be so shameless and dare to frame him. He immediately shouted angrily: "Gentlemen, this is a typical retaliation.
Can't you see it yet? The implementation is very obvious..."
Kossuth interrupted him again and mocked: "Retaliation? Huh, let me tell you, I also have evidence. Gentlemen, please allow me to show the relevant evidence. Then you will know everything that happened here today."
It's definitely not that simple. Some of us have deteriorated, betrayed our original intentions, degenerated, or have been hiding their true colors. These guys are simply Austria's lackeys!"
