The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 1106 Reincarnation
At that time, the city of Pressburg was still carrying out the final mobilization work. The military priests asked the victims of the Hungarian rebellion to take turns to come on stage to complain. The procurator was responsible for the final finishing work, announcing all the crimes committed by the Hungarian rebels in 1848 and issuing a manifesto to fight against rebellion.

"In 1848, the world was in turmoil and the affairs of the world were like a mess. Our emperor was ordered to fight against the enemy and refused to allow the British, French and other gangsters to enter the country. He had no time to organize and train.

However, the Hungarian nobles were ambitious and disregarded the laws of nature and human ethics. They ravaged the territory, destroyed lives, and even intended to destroy the country.

Unjust people will always do unjust things. They bring disaster by bullying the weak, colluding with foreigners, and harming the world. They take away the property of the weak and the common people, plunder their children, trample on their lives, and trample on their dignity.

What he did has angered heaven and the people, and is condemned by both gods and men!

Our Emperor's empire is truly an empire of all the peoples of the world. It does not belong to the Hungarian people alone, nor is it a plaything of injustice.

Now our emperor is furious, and the whole world is looking forward to it. We will rise up and fight him to restore justice to the people.

This battle is not for personal revenge, but for justice.

I hope you all will rise up, unite against the enemy, and rectify the way of heaven!"

(Xuanjianshi, a new official position in the Austrian Empire, the superior of the Propaganda Officer.)
In addition, the Austrian Imperial Statistical Office published a series of shocking figures, showing that more than one million citizens of the empire had been killed since the Hungarian rebellion in 1848.

Hungary's national elites took the opportunity to plunder 33 million hectares of land, and embezzled at least 5.9 million florins in taxes in the years after the end of the anti-French war.

(Yoch is a traditional unit of measurement for land in the Austrian Empire. It is still used in some areas today, but it is a conceptual value. Even Austrians cannot clearly explain how big it is.

Originally it refers to the area of ​​land plowed by an ox in one day, but due to different regions and working hours, the upper and lower limits of this value vary greatly.)
Do these numbers have a source? Of course! As for whether these numbers are true, no one knows.

But it is undeniable that these figures have indeed aroused the anger of the vast majority of people, because that money and that land should belong to them.

Those more than one million people should not have died. This number is shocking and immediately reminds people of their deceased relatives and friends. If there had not been this rebellion, perhaps they should not have died.

Anger can easily overwhelm people's reason, and anger and fear are the most contagious emotions, so no one will delve into whether these numbers are correct.

Finally, the envoy announced that all the spoils of war, including land, would be confiscated into the national treasury, and part would be used to compensate the people for their losses, and the rest would belong to the soldiers who participated in the war.

For some people, there was another reason to fight: the royal territory was under siege and millions of Germans were in danger.

The airship troops have already taken off, and the soldiers can't help but feel more confident as they look at the war beasts floating across the sky.

At this moment, a soldier on the city wall suddenly shouted.

"Fire! The Hungarian camp is on fire!"

Several senior officers quickly checked through telescopes and saw that the Hungarian camp was indeed surrounded by black smoke.

This would have been a good thing, but the officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What's going on? Is someone cooperating with us? Or is this a trick of the Hungarians?" Even Heinau fell into deep doubt, because Emperor Franz gave him the feeling of being an elusive person.

At this time, the military priest shouted excitedly, "God save our emperor! This is the Lord's punishment on the Hungarians! Attack quickly! God is with us!"

“God is with us!”

The soldiers rushed out shouting slogans. Heinau and a group of senior officers were too lazy to think about it. It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Anyway, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. They didn't believe that the Hungarians could play any tricks.

In fact, the task that Franz gave them was to reshape a nation through a war. These soldiers did not understand this, but they knew how to make the soldiers become brothers, and that was a fierce battle that could be won.

In fact, at this time, there were only two nations that could threaten all the nations within the Austrian Empire, one was Hungary and the other was Russia.

Russia is an important ally of the Austrian Empire at this time, and now is not the time to go to war with Russia. Once Russia and Austria go to war, they will be isolated and helpless.

Russia was not an opponent that could be defeated quickly, as history had already proven. The most important thing was that going to war with Russia would have almost no benefit for the Austrian Empire at that time. Franz was not a madman, let alone an idiot.

Therefore, Hungary became the best choice. Historically, Hungary's military strength was too weak, and its hatred value was not full. At least many people and many things had already been selectively forgotten.

That's why the war was delayed again and again. Franz needed to let the bullets fly a little longer, let the news spread more widely, and create a terrible enemy.

However, the Hungarian national elites really disappointed Franz. Before the Austrian Empire's army officially launched the attack, they were about to destroy Hungary themselves.

Due to the blockade of the Austrian Empire, material resources in Hungary were in short supply, but the Hungarian elites did not give up the opportunity to make money. They began to hoard goods, causing prices to soar.

While prices were skyrocketing, people's incomes were decreasing. In order to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time to deal with the current crisis, the country began to issue banknotes indiscriminately, resulting in further skyrocketing prices.

At the same time, taxes were constantly increasing, and farmers went bankrupt and fled to cities, causing further surplus labor in cities and further collapse of the urban economy.

Many serfs who had just obtained land had to mortgage their land again, resulting in even more serious land annexation.

The government was heavily in debt, but under pressure from war and rebellion, the Hungarian government had no choice but to implement wartime economic policies, which led to further concentration of power and, subsequently, greater corruption and embezzlement.

After the assassination of Duke Bagnat, the old nobles in the army and the government became even more alienated. The army lacked supplies, but the number of troops was increasing, so the government could only delegate power and let the army solve the problem on its own.

After tasting the sweetness, some officers have already developed a tendency to become independent, while others are suffering terribly. For example, there is a shortage of troops in such an important place as the Pressburg front.

In fact, according to the estimates of the Austrian Imperial General Staff, the Hungarians should have deployed at least 300,000 troops in Pressburg.

However, the reality was that the Hungarian army outside Pressburg had less than 150,000 men, while the Austrian Imperial Army numbered nearly 350,000.

But the most outrageous thing is that according to the military priest, the people in the royal territory who were in urgent need of rescue had already defeated the Hungarian siege troops.

János Damojanic had no choice but to flee. Before he fled, he set fire to the farmland outside the royal territory. In retaliation, the militia of the royal territory set another fire behind Heinrich Deme.
