Mediterranean Hegemony Road

In the Parliament Building in Leopold City, Budapest, Hungary, there is a meeting about the future destiny of the Kingdom of Hungary. Tisza is sitting on the throne with a tense look, trying to calm himself down.

In this conference room, almost all the big capitalists, big nobles, high-level government and military representatives of the Kingdom of Hungary were gathered.

Undoubtedly, it can only be one thing, or three things that can bring so many great people together - should the Kingdom of Hungary withdraw from the war? Will the Kingdom of Hungary become independent? What kind of system was established after the independence of the Kingdom of Hungary?

On these three issues, the positions of the nobility and the bourgeoisie are obviously different, which makes Tisza embarrassed. If everyone cannot reach an agreement, the future prospects of the Kingdom of Hungary will not be good. There will be civil war!

No matter what, at this point, escaping can't solve the problem, Tiszasian decided to solve the easiest problem first.

Tiszasian sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "I invited everyone here today, I think everyone knows why, and I also delayed the time. Now let's start the first issue: should the Kingdom of Hungary withdraw from this war? Everyone please have a preface!"

Count Corbett-Adolf was the first to say: "We have paid too much for this war. From the beginning of the war to the present, there have been 2.36 million young men in our Kingdom of Hungary who have taken up arms and went to the battlefield.

The number of deaths that has been counted is 424,300, and the number of injured is 1,964,100 (Note: casualties can be accumulated), of which 262,000 are disabled for life. More, at least the more than 400,000 people in the Russian POW camps may now be less than half of them alive!

This is only the casualties of the army. Although we have not been able to count the casualties of civilians, we have a preliminary estimate that there are still 700,000 to 800,000. The number of refugees in Budapest alone exceeds 500,000. The normal order of the Kingdom of Hungary It has been disrupted!

In addition to casualties, we have now occupied more than 40% of the country's land area, and the economic losses are even more incalculable. Anyway, in my opinion, it will not be less than one billion pounds!

We paid so much,

But what do we get?

Sorry, nothing!

Of course, if we insist that there are, it is a bunch of empty checks written by the central government, and they can't be cashed anyway, so we don't need to think about it now!

Now that the war is going on, everyone must understand that the Allies have lost. Even if the Germans can finally come back, we will still not be the victors!

If this war continues, the Hungarian Kingdom, which has suffered heavy losses, may not even have an independent status after the war!

For the future of this country, I hope everyone can support quitting this war! "

As soon as Count Corbett-Adolf finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the venue. The issue of withdrawing from this war was not much controversial. After all, the Kingdom of Hungary could no longer fight.

But how to withdraw from this war is worth considering. Is it to defect and join the Entente, or to simply announce that it will withdraw from the war and then remain neutral?

These two different choices have completely different consequences.

If it joins the Allied Powers, then the Kingdom of Hungary will continue the war, and will turn against Austria, and everyone will have no incense at all.

If you directly withdraw from the war, but do not join the Entente, although it is a betrayal, there is still room for relaxation with Austria, and it will not form a deadly feud, but the Entente is not so easy to explain, how can it be possible without paying the price Woolen cloth?

Thinking of this question, Viscount Siegel suddenly said: "I have no objection to withdraw from this war, but how should we withdraw from this war now? What conditions did the Entente give? Mr. Xiang, you and the Entente have already been in contact. After that, I think we are all qualified to know what I really want!"

These are all expected things. For the sake of confidentiality, although everyone knows that the government has negotiated with the Allied countries, the specific conditions are still kept secret. Now it is reasonable for them to want to know.

Tiszaxiang replied calmly: "We have been in contact with the four countries of Britain, France, and Russia, and the results are not bad!

Britain and France have made it clear that as long as we join the Entente and declare war on the Allies, then we will let go of the past and provide us with a loan of 20 million pounds. At the same time, we can also get a corresponding trophy according to the size of our contribution in the war.

If we just quit the war and don't join the Allies, they would welcome it and not hold us accountable for the war.

The Bulgarian government has also made a promise that as long as we join the Allies to fight, they will not hold us accountable for the war.

But the territories they occupied us will not be returned immediately, and if we quit this war without joining the Allies, then we need to pay them a ransom for these territories.

If we join the Allies, they will decide whether to waive this ransom based on our contribution on the battlefield.

The contact with the Russians was not very smooth, but they have no decision-making power now. Once we join the Entente, everyone will be allies. The Entente will not let them do anything to the allies! "

Obviously, the conditions of the Allied countries are not favorable, but they are enough to make them explain to the people of the country. The Italians have taught them that if the price is too high, they will not deliver.

The truce conditions given by the Allies are obviously forcing them to declare war on the Allies, otherwise it will be difficult to withdraw from the war, but the more this is, the more sincere they are.

If, like John Bull dealt with the Italians, he agreed to all conditions, and in the end he could not fulfill it, he would have to turn his face and deny the person.

Oh, and I don't know that John Bull played tricks and forced the Italians to admit that their requirements were too high, which turned the Entente against them and reversed some of their adverse diplomatic influence.

After John Bull announced the terms of the truce demanded by the Italians, people all over the world now believe that the Italians are greedy and asking for their own troubles.

Of course, the parties all know that these conditions are all false, and even if the Italians are insane, they have no courage to put forward such conditions.

But the British announced it, the Italian government also recognized it, and no one continued to be troubled.

The conditions are as follows: 1. The French return all the territories ceded to France by the Italian government, including the Nice area;

2. After the war, the Italians acquired the regions of Croatia and Slovenia...
