    Thousands of people disembarked at the port, boarded the train, and returned to Hungary in a little over a day.  This speed surprised the Austrian emperor.  The German emperor, who also learned the news, didn't feel much at all.  The UK has contacted Germany several times, hoping that Germany can come forward to put pressure on Russia.  Germany is happy to see the British like ants on a hot pot. No matter how the British tell the truth, Germany has not made a clear position.  Whoever blocks Russia's path to the south is Russia's enemy.  Britain, France and Russia had previously formed an alliance, and Germany was happy to see this alliance collapse on its own.  After the British envoy left, William II really wanted to shout, "My uncle died well!"  After Russia took action against the Ottoman Empire, Germany felt the huge benefits of the change of Austrian throne.  They do not expect Austria's combat effectiveness. The fact that Austria will no longer cause trouble to Germany has saved Germany a lot of trouble.  Russia did not believe that the Austro-Hungarian Emperor would let go of the Balkans, but the Russians believed that the German-dominated German Confederation had little interest in the Balkans.  The British Foreign Office has a clear understanding of Germany's attitude, but there is nothing it can do about it.  This kind of "belief" can be used as the basis of strategy, so it is very frustrating.  Russia believed that Germany would not expand in the Balkans, and Russia also believed that Britain would not sit back and watch Russia solve the Ottomans and rush into the Mediterranean.  In fact, this judgment may not be wrong.  The British Foreign Minister looked solemn when he went to see the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister also looked unhappy.  Several British cabinet ministers present at the meeting had frosty expressions on their faces.  Everyone sat down and heard the Foreign Minister say: "We are going to send people to contact Hungary, hoping that Hungary can join our side of the British Empire." After hearing this, several ministers' eyes lit up, and the Foreign Minister continued to elaborate on his  Soon, even the Prime Minister's eyes lit up after hearing this.  On April 1, Russia received the latest news through some relatively covert news channels.  The British began to woo Hungary.  The Imperial Council immediately held a meeting on this latest news.  The Anglo-Russian contradiction has always been Russia's most important contradiction. Especially after China's rejuvenation, Russia gave up the idea of ??expanding in the Far East. The Anglo-Russian contradiction has become Russia's most important contradiction.  Now Russia is trying to expand in the south again, and Britain, like before, has jumped out to stop Russia.  "Both Germany and Austria have stated that they will not unite with Hungary. If we go to war with Hungary, they will not interfere." The Russian Foreign Minister expounded on his diplomatic achievements with high spirits.  Britain's secret diplomatic operations in collusion with Hungary were also eavesdropped on through a secret channel prepared by the Russian Foreign Minister.  In the field of diplomacy, the Russian Foreign Minister can be said to have achieved remarkable results.  After the Foreign Secretary spoke, the War Minister suddenly stood up, pointed at the map and said: "Hungary can launch an attack from the flank of our troops marching into Bulgaria at any time. This threat is always there. The relationship between Hungary and the Ottoman Empire has always been very good. And Britain  The probability of them sending troops is very high due to the instigation of others.¡± After saying this, the Minister of War said in a confident tone: ¡°We have formulated a combat plan to attack Hungary under this situation. As long as everyone can agree, this plan will be launched immediately.  It can be implemented." After hearing this assurance, His Majesty the Tsar frowned slightly and turned to the Chief of Staff.  The chief of staff secretly scolded the war minister for talking too much.  The staff did draw up a plan, but the plan itself was perfunctory.  If we really follow that plan, who is to blame if something goes wrong?  But at this moment, the arrow was on the string. The chief of staff stood up, coughed twice, and then said: "I think we should make contact with Hungary first" "What's the point of contacting a group of Communist thugs?! Assassinate Master Stolypin  The thug emphasized that he hoped for a revolution to break out in Russia and then implement the same land policy as Hungary. "The Minister of Interior interrupted the General Staff's words unceremoniously.  The words of the Home Secretary caused whispers among the Russian ministers, all of whom were very hostile to Hungary.  In the years since Stolypin's reforms, they have become even more hostile to Hungary.  The state ownership of land in Hungary is being talked about more and more, and has gradually become a popular topic in Russia.  In Russia, the nobility, landowners, and common people all believe that the Russian land system needs to be reformed.  The impetus for reform came from the cruel reality. With the huge land area owned by Russia, the Russian people did not have enough to eat.  This also gave birth to a series of Russian reforms, culminating in the Stolypin reforms.  Stolypin's reforms caused outrage and resentment, and ended with the death of the people and the government.  The per capita land area in Hungary is far less than that of Russia. After ten years of socialist system, they can freely eat meat, and even eat until their mouths are full of oil.  Under such a realistic comparison, the Russian people's desire for reform not only did not calm down after Stolypin's death, but also tended to go further.  For the Russian aristocracy, they must not accept the socialist revolution.  scolded the chief of staffis a common attitude among these people.  "With a curse like Hungary, the monarchy will face turmoil, and the whole of Europe will not be peaceful. And our goal is to liberate the Slavic brothers in the Balkans. If Hungary is solved, we can also better assist the Balkans!" Internal Affairs  The minister made an impassioned speech. Although he was not a professional soldier, he could still look at pictures and speak.  The map clearly shows the distance from Russia to the Balkans. If Hungary is solved, Russia can be directly connected to the Balkans.  ¡°I believe that going to war against Hungary can achieve several strategic goals at the same time.¡± The Chancellor of Finance also made a statement.  "Indeed." The Admiralty also agreed with this view.  The Chief of Staff himself hated socialism, but he felt that the attitude of the Russian ministers was too rash.  However, if the Chief of Staff comes out to oppose, he may be forced to resign due to strong pressure.  Should I stick to my position or hold on to my official position?  After some internal evaluation, the Chief of Staff chose to remain silent.  His Majesty Tsar Nicholas II was silent for a long time. Under the angry eyes of all the important ministers, he ordered: "Tell Hungary and ask him to immediately agree to Romania's territorial claims." Many things in diplomacy are open to the public. Russia's attitude towards Hungary  The contents of the ultimatum soon reached the British side, making members of the British Parliament nervous.  At the Cabinet meeting, when the Foreign Secretary entered the office, the Prime Minister personally led the applause.  The Foreign Secretary was proud, no longer embarrassed by his failure to grasp the intelligence of Russia's southward movement.  The so-called secret information on the establishment of the Russian diplomatic system was all arranged by the British for Russia.  Relying on this intelligence, the British successfully directed the Russian attack to Hungary.  Western Europe looks down on Eastern Europe and thinks Eastern Europe is a backward place.  However, Western Europeans admit that Eastern Europe is Europe.  In the eyes of Western Europeans, the combat effectiveness of the Eastern country, the Ottoman Empire, was far less powerful than Hungary.  If Russia can be convinced that Hungary is also their enemy, it will be a good thing for Britain.  Even in Eastern Europe, the British believe that Russia is further east.  Zhou Shuren originally thought that he would be able to leave Hungary and return to the Republic of China soon. His outstanding performance in Hungary made the country decide to assign him a position as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.  Even for a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee of a North American province, it is rare in recent years for a person in his thirties to sit at this level.  But he failed to return to the Republic of China.  The Republic of China believes that Hungary cannot fail, at least not now.  So Zhou Shuren was left in Hungary to continue working.  For Hungarian comrades, at least some of them do not want Zhou Shuren to leave.  Zhou Shuren admired the decisive prediction of the North American Theater. If the actions of the North American Theater were slower, there would be no transportation channels in the war-torn Balkan Peninsula.  Although Austria agreed to the transit of Hungarian personnel, it did not agree to the transit of equipment provided by the Republic of China to Hungary.  If the original plan had been followed, all the equipment provided by the Republic of China to Hungary could now only be piled in North American ports.  ¡°Russia must be defeated and the Black Sea outlet must be controlled.¡± At the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Hungary, Zhou Shuren proposed the direction to solve the problem.  At least half of the attendees looked embarrassed.  Every Hungarian wanted to defeat Russia, and every Hungarian in the audience was willing to go to war.  But Hungary knows Russia's capabilities. If it wants to defeat Russia, it needs strong field capabilities. The two defeats of Russia's attacks did not rely on Hungary's field capabilities.  "Today, what I want to tell you is this. I hope that in a few years you will not forget today's hesitation and remember your fear of war. Chairman Weiser of our Restoration Party understands this fear, so he chose rational peace.  Doctrine. There is a saying from our Chinese sages more than 2,000 years ago: If you are willing to fight, you will perish; if you forget to fight, you will be in danger" Zhou Shuren spoke with sincerity. After staying in Hungary for so long, he has felt a lot of inner things in Europe.  One of them is severe racism.  Even after the socialist revolution, Hungarian culture has not undergone fundamental changes.  Even if they feel that other ethnic groups within the country do not need to die, many Hungarians feel that other ethnic groups outside the country can die at will.  Once this attitude is combined with military strength, Zhou Shuren is not optimistic about the future.  With such worries, Zhou Shucai particularly admired Wei Ze.  There are very few cases in history where people have been able to stop at the peak of success.  Weiser's existence can be called an isolated case.  Expecting the Hungarians to understand this put a lot of pressure on Zhou Shuren.  On April 2, Hungary officially informed Russia that it ¡®will never accept Russia¡¯s unreasonable demands¡¯!  On April 4, Russia announced that it would join the war between Romania and Hungary.  In the 11th year of the founding of the Slovak People's Republic of Hungary, the Third Russo-Hungarian War broke out.  At this time, the people who were deeply involved in the attacks of the Balkan countriesThe Ottoman Empire finally breathed a sigh of relief.  The Ottoman Navy tried its best to block the Russian Navy's offensive. If the Russian Army joined the ranks of attacking the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire would definitely not be able to stop it.  Even though they have different beliefs, the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire sincerely pray to God to bless the "People of the Book" in Hungary and help them win.  I had no idea that Hungary was already atheistically atheistic.  According to the teachings, it can be classified into the category of coffee fun that turns into a roast duck after death.
