Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The bourgeoisie was frightened, and Tiszasian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Hungary does not split, whether it is a republic or a constitutional monarchy, he is acceptable. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, the second question was originally discussed - whether Hungary should be independent or not, but as a result, the future political system of Hungary was first solved. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although the bourgeoisie was forced to choose a "constitutional monarchy", they still wanted independence for their own interests, while the aristocrats believed that staying in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was more in line with the long-term interests of the Kingdom of Hungary, and most of them supported staying in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The bourgeois radical Simon put forward: "Everyone, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has already decayed from its roots, and the Kingdom of Hungary must leave this quagmire before it can achieve greater development!\u00261t;/p\u003e

If we stay in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, our market will be flooded with Austrian industrial and commercial products, allowing the Austrians to constantly plunder our wealth through trade means, and keeping the Hungarian people in a state of poverty for a long time. This is something that no Hungarian can tolerate. of! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Only by establishing an independent state can the great Hungarian Kingdom be able to establish its own industrial system and get rid of the economic slavery of the Austrians! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Obviously, his theory was mixed with a lot of selfishness, and it was not convincing to everyone. Count Carroll immediately retorted: "Your Excellency is exaggerating, don't forget that the Kingdom of Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, has not less benefited, why not put the Are these benefits listed?\u00261t;/p\u003e

As for the market full of Austrian industrial and commercial products, it can only be said that you are making excuses for your own inaction! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Whether it is Austrian capitalists or Hungarian capitalists, everyone enjoys the same conditions. If you can't compete with your opponent, you criticize the other party as an exploiter? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Don't forget, everyone is the same, no one is cleaner than anyone else! Even a lot of times, you do even more! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now so many people in the Kingdom of Hungary are short of food,

Are you still hoarding and driving up food prices? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Don't tell me you're not involved! Don't tell me that there is a real shortage of food in the Kingdom of Hungary. Everyone knows the truth! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Is there any difference between ordinary people being exploited by you and exploited by Austrian capitalists? Please don't speak in the name of the Hungarian people, this is very disgusting! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

In this regard, the nobles are still qualified to despise the bourgeoisie. Although they also participated in the speculation of food prices, except for a very few idiots, most of the nobles took the initiative to stabilize the market on their own fiefs! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Naturally, the bourgeoisie couldn’t just give up like this. In terms of shame, they are the nobles who have completely exploded. To put it simply, they are completely shameless. What’s the point of such a little attack? \u00261t;/p\u003e

I saw Simon say nonchalantly: "This is our freedom, the law has given our private property the inviolability of the Holy Spirit, and we have the right to deal with our own property!\u00261t;/p\u003e

It is the government's responsibility to relieve the people, and it has nothing to do with us. Please don't impose these irrelevant responsibilities on us! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Food prices have skyrocketed, we are just following the laws of the market, this is not our responsibility! If the people don't want to, they can't buy it at all? We have never been a strong buy, but we don't want some people to be so inferior! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Obviously, everyone is not a good product. The capitalists are hoarding and speculating on the price of food, and the aristocrats have also carried out land acquisitions. Everyone is a vested interest! \u00261t;/p\u003e

No, the aristocrats have not yet carried out land acquisitions in this crisis. The main reason is that no matter how soaring grain prices, the peasant class does not need to buy grain, there is no fire, and robbery will naturally cease to exist! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Imagine a compromise between the aristocracy and the capitalists, which is not something that can be done in a short time. In the current kingdom of Hungary, the capitalists have gained the support of the people, but the nobility is the real strength. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Tiszasian said with a wry smile: "Let's go here first today. We will discuss the question of whether the Kingdom of Hungary will withdraw from the Austro-Hungarian Empire later!\u00261t;/p\u003e

Now we have to complete the first step - withdraw from the Allied countries and join the Allied countries. For the sake of safety, I hope that everyone can keep the content of today's meeting strictly confidential, and the meeting will now be dismissed! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Tissa Xiang knew that it was impossible to argue a result today, so he wasn't in a hurry anyway, so it's better to postpone it and deal with it later. \u00261t;/p\u003e

As a politician, he doesn't like this out-of-control situation very much. Unfortunately, facing the two major classes of capitalists and aristocrats, the Hungarian government's power is too weak, and there is not much right to speak at all! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, for the shortsightedness of the capitalists, Tiszasian doesn't want to make any comments. Breaking away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire can indeed gain benefits in the short term, but in the long run, it will do more harm than good. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At least if you want to spend only 30% of the military expenditure, you can get the treatment of the foreign powers. It is impossible to reproduce! [31 novel network update fast]\u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

In order to end the war as soon as possible, in December 1916, under the leadership of the British, the British and French forces launched the Battle of Ypres, which was also the third Battle of Ypres in the World War! \u00261t;/p\u003e

On December 13, 1916, the British army concentrated 33oo guns and launched an attack in the Ypres area. The British 5th Army was responsible for the main attack; the French 1st Army and the British 2nd Army served as assists. \u00261t;/p\u003e

On the same day, the coalition forces won the German first line of defense with 30,000 casualties, but soon the Germans made tactical adjustments. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The German 4th Army organized a "flexible defense", built a series of bunkers surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack in the forward position, equipped with some troops to block the enemy, and the main force was deployed in the depth camera to counterattack, forcing the coalition forces to pay every step forward. significant cost. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The new German tactics and bad weather delayed the coalition's attack. Due to the huge losses, on January 12, the coalition was forced to switch to the British 2nd Army as the main attack. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the next two weeks, the coalition forces successively captured the Menon Road Ridge, Polygon Forest, and Bruze Ernd and other places, gradually grasping the initiative on the battlefield. \u00261t;/p\u003e

During the battle, the British and French air forces held the air superiority, and the artillery also showed great power. The German army launched 11 counterattacks, all of which were defeated by the coalition forces. \u00261t;/p\u003e

From January 26 to February 6, the British and French allied forces launched two more attacks, captured the village of Pashandaer, and advanced 8 kilometers. In the end, due to the large casualties and the arrival of German reinforcements, the allied forces were defeated. Forced to stop the attack. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the third battle of Ypres started by the British and French forces, the Allies only won half of the battle, and the strategic goal of destroying the German submarine base was not completed! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In this battle, the British army suffered 310,000 casualties, the French army suffered 12,000 casualties, and the German army lost about 270,000. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although the victory of the Third Battle of Ypres was not perfect, it was undoubtedly encouraging news for the Entente, which marked the beginning of a major counteroffensive on the Western Front. \u00261t;/p\u003e

One of the most noteworthy is the famous Messine blasting. There is a small town called Messina in the southeast of Ypres. The German army has established a strong defense line on the Messine ridge in the north of the village, and there are countless complex trenches. And the solid bunkers, coupled with the condescending terrain, there is a tendency for one husband to be in charge of the other. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If it is a strong attack, the British and French forces will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there is a great possibility that they will return without success. \u00261t;/p\u003e

So the British commander Oliver Woodward decided to take advantage of it. He recruited geological experts for exploration, and finally decided to give the Germans a blasting operation. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After the arduous efforts of British, Canadian and Australian engineers, a total of 5,454 meters of tunnels were dug, leading to 22 blasting chambers under the German positions. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Most of these tunnels are 2o-3o meters deep underground, and the blasting chamber is just located under the main German fortification or the most vulnerable key point of the geological structure. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Naturally, such a big movement could not be concealed from the Germans, but the German commander underestimated the determination of the British and did not pay enough attention to it. Before the start of the war, the German engineers found only one blasting chamber. \u00261t;/p\u003e

On January 15, 1917, the British army had everything ready and buried a total of 445 tons of high explosives in the remaining 21 blasting chambers. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The largest blasting chamber was 80 meters in diameter, 12 meters high, and 27 meters deep from the German position above. 41 tons of explosives were stuffed into it in one go, making it the largest landmine in history. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At three o'clock in the morning, the British began to carry out the blasting operation, detonating the explosives, and only 19 of the 21 blasting chambers finally detonated, but this was enough. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Tens of thousands of German troops were directly buried in the soil, and the sound of explosions was directly transmitted to Berlin and London, shocking the whole world! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The Britons who had been prepared for a long time all put on earplugs and barely survived this disaster. But the German troops on the opposite side were miserable. After the explosion, thousands of German troops completely lost their hearing due to the huge shock wave, and others were more or less affected. \u00261t;/p\u003e

When the British attacked, many German soldiers still did not recover, but just sat there stupidly without moving, and entered the prisoner of war camp in a daze. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Oliver Woodward also became famous in the war, and after the war he was awarded the rank of Major General of the Field Army as commander of the Australian 1st Tunnel Regiment, and he was one of only four Australians to be awarded this honor. \u00261t;/p\u003e
