In short, under the current circumstances, whether it is the aristocratic conservatives led by Count Obernie or the bourgeois revolutionary led by Caroli, most of their attention and focus are on the issue of seizing power! As for what to do after seizing power, there is an idea, that is, to ensure the integrity of Greater Hungary and the "Crown Territory of Saint Isterwan" and the independence of the nation!

However, at most, this is just to think about it. Not only the two sides confront each other, but even other neutral and other neutral Hungarian leaders know that if Hungary wants to be truly independent, the best result will be to become a small country that has narrowed down several circles! The reason is very simple. Hungary neither has the sword to use violence to maintain national unity, nor can it control the political and economic skills of other countries through soft means!

In fact, in history, Hungary was directly broken from a country of 300,000 square kilometers into a small country with only less than one-third of the original, and it could not be blamed entirely on the Allies. When Hungary collapsed, the Slovaks on the back would rather follow the Czechs who had no relationship before than follow the Hungarians, let alone the Poles. Although they have been crushed, their independent spirit is moving! The Croats finally chose to mix with Serbia, which is also the Slavic nation. Transylvania directly merged with Romania. When Hungary did not have the power to maintain a system of governance through violence, other nations that had no slightest affection for the Hungarian nation would naturally rise up.

And now? The situation is very similar to history. Even in the best case, without external interference, it would be very difficult for Hungary to preserve the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Because, no matter who comes to power, you can occupy Budapest, but it does not mean that you can gain an advantage in other ethnic minority areas. If you fall into the quagmire of civil war, then no one can save you!

Therefore, even now, the various internal forces in Hungary still have a very complicated attitude towards Vienna. As Prime Minister Tissa said: "Fritz is an absolute tyrant and an enemy of Hungary, but we cannot really go against Fritz!"

Therefore, for the future, the Hungarian senior officials do not have a definite plan. As for ordinary people, they are now struggling to survive. The so-called glory and national independence of the Hungarian nation are too far away from them.

At this time, what is Ruprecht doing now? When it is time to see the conclusion, what is the future regent of the Vienna court busy with the Bavarian crown prince, one of the main messengers behind all these?

Ruprecht was very busy! However, he did not directly interfere with the situation within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but continued to compete with the Allies on the battlefield! Unlike the Eastern Front, which was cold to a certain level in winter, and also different from the Western Front, which was relatively mild in winter. At this time, in the Balkans, in Asia Minor, even the Black Sea, and the Caucasus, under the command of Ruprecht, hundreds of thousands of Bavarian legions were launching offensives!

It’s not that the prince does not care about the political situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now it is not the time. It is not convenient for Austria to intervene directly before the various factions of Hungary are consumed. As for the issue of inheritance of the throne, if the German Social Democratic Party does not take action, Ruprecht dared not act rashly. Therefore, the prince can only wait and see and guide appropriately. Anyway, once the conditions allow, the strength he prepared is enough.

So, at this time, the prince continued to do what a war zone commander had to do, that was to continue to repair the Allies! The war in Asia Minor was almost as expected by the prince. After killing the French army, the remaining Bavarian coalition forces headed south almost at the same time, cutting off the retreat of the British Expeditionary Force. More than 100,000 Commonwealth troops and two divisions of Japanese troops were trapped to death. According to the current situation, they would definitely not be able to survive this winter. Even if they were siege by a small amount, they could eat them all. Therefore, there was no need for the prince to worry about this battlefield.

At the same time, when they realized that the war situation in Asia Minor had completely failed and the gains were not worth the loss, Britain and France were also preparing to withdraw from the Eastern Mediterranean region. They had already realized that the decisive battle on the Western Front was coming, so they needed to concentrate their troops on the Western Front and wait for the arrival of the Bavarian Legion. At this time, Greece, the only escaped in the Balkan Peninsula, is probably about to usher in the final moment!

For Greece, this area with a very important geographical location, Ruprecht naturally was unwilling to give up! Even if they could not be incorporated into Germany, it could also be one of the important anchorages of the German Mediterranean fleet in the future! After all, Greece was close to the Suez Canal and almost supported the important maritime transportation line of the British. After the decision of Britain and France, the prince was full of confidence and used the Bavarian legion of 4 divisions plus a small number of Allies to clean up Greece.

In the Eastern Front and Black Sea directions, the Bavarian Legion also made some achievements. Because of the cold weather, it may be difficult to make the army continue to advance. Moreover, the Russian Revolution is imminent, and it will be easier to continue to advance after the Russian internal chaos. Therefore, on the Eastern Front, the Bavarian Legion is still on the defensive. But in another direction, the Bavarian Legion launched an attack! The direction of the attack is the Transcaucasus region!

The oil fields in the Transcaucasus region are something that the prince has always paid attention to and is determined to win. Not to mention anything else, the Baku region was 22 million tons before World War II. At this stage, the output of tens of millions of tons is an indispensable resource for the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future! If the Germans can obtain and control this area, they will have a major advantage in the future when facing the Soviet Union, because until the end of World War II, the fuel production in the Baku region accounted for most of the Soviet fuel production. If Germany obtained it, then the Soviet Union would have no more, unless they could cheat.... Found a large oil field like Tyumen and could be exploited!

Therefore, under the escort of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Allied Powers, the Bavarian Legion of 2 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry division landed in the Caucasus region and quickly launched an offensive. After all, neither Azerbaijan, Georgia nor Armenia had much population, and the population is now even smaller. And if the oil fields and transportation channels were only temporarily controlled, there would be no need for too many troops. It can be said to be a profitable deal!
