Struggle in Russia

The distance from Bucharest to Budapest is not very close. It is necessary to cross most of Eastern Europe. It’s just that there was no city named Budapest in 1848. This name appeared very late, and the more correct name should be called Pest. -Buda.

Put it this way, Pest is Pest and Buda is Buda. Once upon a time these were actually two cities. One is on the left bank of the Danube and the other is on the right bank of the Danube.

On the left bank is Buda, which is a city full of castles or fortresses, and on the right bank is Pest. Compared with Buda, which has a strong military atmosphere, Pest is like a real civilized city.

And in 1848, or take the Kingdom of Hungary as an example, the capital of this country was Pest instead of Buda. So when you talked about going to Budapest, Hungarians would be confused.

It took only a century and a half for the Habsburg family to rule Hungary, so this country did not have a lot of favor with this abnormal family, so in this magnificent revolution, Hungary is regarded as the most steadfast Habsburg rebel.

It should be said that the Hungarians did a good job. Once they expelled the power of the Habsburg family from Hungary's borders. Of course, soon following the instigation of the Habsburg family, Croatia, headed by Jeracic in the south, soon It just sang against the Hungarian revolutionaries, and then the Serbs in the territory were also incited by the Habsburg family and began not to cooperate with the Hungarian revolutionaries.

But even so, these Hungarians also made the Austrians suffer enough. If it were not for the strong interference of Czarist Russia, the subsequent Austro-Hungarian Empire might not be born at all, and the Habsburg family's rule in Central and Eastern Europe might be dozens of years earlier. The year is over.

When Li Xiao arrived in Perth, his impression of the city was not so good, but not so bad. Because the architectural style of Europe from the Middle Ages is too classical, the religious atmosphere is more than the humanistic atmosphere, it may be good for visiting or sightseeing as a castle, but let him live in this kind of city.

Baroque and Gothic architecture can be seen everywhere in Pest. Compared with the Hungarian people who are actively preparing for the demonstrations and the war, it is a strange combination. Anyway, Li Xiao doesn't like the architectural styles of big European cities in this era. Whether it's St. Petersburg or Bucharest or Pace in front of him, he feels out of place and always feels alienated from being a stranger in a foreign land.

"Andreka, your mood is not very good! Why, are you frustrated because you didn't find that Gergai Artur?"

David Lebeuf is very happy. For him who is used to seeing the halal-style Istanbul, the Baroque and Gothic architecture of Pest gives him a feeling of going home, which is more cordial!

Li Xiao sighed. The reason for his lack of interest is indeed whether he saw Gergai Artur, because the general led the army on the way to Bratislava. According to the newspaper, Gergai Artur led the troops to support the Revolutionary Party in Vienna.

Bratislava and Vienna in later generations seem to be very far together, because one is the capital of Austria and the other is the capital of Slovakia, but in fact the two cities are really close, to be exact. The distance between the cities is about sixty to seventy kilometers, not as far as the distance between Beijing and Tianjin.

With this reference, you probably know how densely packed the country of Eastern Europe is. Let’s put it this way, the distance between Vienna and Pest is about two hundred and fifteen kilometers.

If you think about it, fighting at such a close distance can almost be said to be happening in the morning. If the marching speed is fast enough, playing blitzkrieg can really destroy the country in one day.

During the revolution in 1848, Bratislava was on Hungary’s side. In fact, this city has a very close relationship with Hungary. During the long period of the Habsburg family’s rule of Hungary, Bratislava Disrafa was the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, until Pest was replaced in 1783.

Therefore, the official language in Bratislava is actually Hungarian, and it is only natural to give the Hungarian platform during the revolution. It's just that these naturally make the Austrians very uncomfortable, because Bratislava is so close to Vienna, who can bear the enemy 60 kilometers away from the capital?

Just as Li Xiao was trying to figure out what to do next, David Lebeuf suddenly asked: "Do you think the Hungarians can succeed?"

Li Xiao, who was a little distracted, was taken aback, and asked, "What can be successful?"

David Lebeuf replied naturally: "Naturally, it is to reach Viana to repel the allied forces of Wendyschgretz and Jeracic!"

Li Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could see that David Lebeuf didn't think it was too much of a hustle and bustle. He definitely hoped that the Hungarians would be better, and it would be better to make Austria ashamed. It's just that Li Xiao, who knows history, is not optimistic about the efforts of the Hungarians.

Historically, the Hungarians also sent troops to support the Revolutionary Party in Vienna, but they did not succeed. Not only did they fail to succeed, they also consumed the vital forces. After Wendyschgretz and Jeracic made a counterattack, even Pace almost fell. .

Therefore, Li Xiao thinks that the hurriedly armed Hungarian National Army and the serious Austrian regular army head-on head-to-head confrontation or field battles are due to their own shortcomings~www.ltnovel.com~ which is very stupid.

From the previous battle between the Hungarian National Army and Jeracic near the Drava River, it can be seen that the Hungarian National Army’s forces against Jeracic were quite choppy, not to mention the hard-carrying of Wendyschgretz and Jeracic. The allied forces are strange.

Moreover, the commander chosen by the Hungarians is also problematic. Gergai Artur is indeed a better general among the Hungarians, but his mentality is also problematic. He does not have the courage to fight indefinitely to the end. Once he finds that the enemy is strong and we are weak or something cannot be done, he will choose to give up and choose to be a master of the times.

This can also be seen from the defense of Pace in the back. In the face of the allied forces of Wendy Schgretz and Jeracic, this guy chose to avoid the battle to preserve his strength. If it hadn't been for the **** fighting of the Pest people to give the Austrians a head-on attack and force them to retreat, it would be hard to say that this guy would surrender earlier.

For these reasons, Li Xiao is not optimistic about the Hungarians at all: "They are basically useless. Although Wendy Schgretz and Jeracic are not famous generals, they have an advantage in strength and their determination to regain Vienna is also unusual. Be firm, the Hungarians cannot please!"
