Holy Roman Empire

The election of the Polish throne was imminent, and the Polish Republicans, who were unwilling to lose power, began their own actions.

In Warsaw, Nedorovsky, the prime minister ’s official residence, called a high-level meeting of Republicans.If someone pays attention to observation, it will be found that most of the people attending the meeting are government officials, but few military generals.

There is no way. After all, the Polish independence movement was catalyzed by external forces. Almost all the military personnel leading the uprising were cultivated by the great powers. It really belongs to the limited power of the Revolutionary Party.

If this is not the case, the Revolutionary Party has established a legitimate government and it is not a problem to draw these people over.

Regrettably, the Polish government is heavily influenced by French thought. It is assumed that the army should listen to the government, and the status of the army is suppressed very low in the framework of government rights.

This is of course no problem in a peaceful era. The military does not interfere in politics, as is the case in normal countries.The tragedy is that Poland is not a normal country. Although independent, the threat of war always exists.

In this case, the country revolves around the army and does its best to develop the army. This is the best choice. For example, the Kingdom of Prussia next door is a good learning object.

Obviously, the revolutionaries with low eyes and low hands did not think so much.

In the eyes of the high-level government, this army full of power backgrounds is unreliable, and of course it is necessary to replace all high-level military forces with their own.

The army is a place that respects the strong. Without a record of success, how can it be supported by everyone?

The Polish government's approach was naturally met with resistance from the military, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad.No high-ranking general appointed by the government bought it, and many times it was emptied.

This behavior appears to the Polish government as a manifestation of warlordism. For this reason, the government has also started to start anew, and based on the armed forces of the Revolutionary Party, it has established an army that completely obeyed its own.

The army is a golden beast, and the establishment of a new army naturally squeezes out the military expenses of the original army. This undoubtedly exacerbated the contradiction between the two sides.

Since the government is so annoying, of course they must get rid of them.It was at this time that the Prussians extended an olive branch, and the two parties hit it off with the impetus of interest, and many people in the Polish army fell to the Kingdom of Prussia.

Prime Minister Dongbrowsky: "You, the current situation in the country is very bad. The election of the king will be held next month. If we do not take action, the great Poland will be annexed by Prussia.

Everyone has any ideas, and now they are free to speak.Today we are looking for a way of life for Poland. We must not let the Prussian ambitions succeed."

The Berlin government ’s attempt to annex Poland cannot be kept secret at all. As long as there are more people involved, any secret is no longer a secret.

Over the years, the Polish government has been working hard to get rid of Prussian influence.It's just that their methods are not enough. Many times they mess things up.

Foreign Minister Va Vlublevsky: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already contacted European countries, and the current situation is not very optimistic.

Napoleon III had just died, France was still in the process of power transfer, and now the Paris government is engaged in a war without smoke.There is no problem in supporting us diplomatically, and the possibility of direct military intervention is unlikely.

The diplomatic oolong that broke out not long ago, we have severely offended Austria.The Vienna government did not want to see Prussia annexing Poland, nor did we want to see us continue to rule Poland.

If the Prussians are willing to pay a high price, both France and Austria are likely to be neutral.The only good news is that the British will support us, they do not want to see the continent continue to merge."

Not mentioning the remaining countries, that is, no other country has the power to interfere.The Russian empire with powerful interference, but everyone is the enemy.

As a politician, you do not care about joining forces with the enemy, but the political consequences also need to be considered.The political influence of the Russians is too bad to bear.Even if the tsarist government intervenes, it is more likely to help.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Badlevsky: "The support of the British may not be useful. The sea is their world, but the European continent is still not their turn.

In addition to one of the illegal Austrian and the two countries also support us, otherwise if the Prussians are strong players, we simply cannot resist.

You should know that the warlords in the country have already been hooked up with them. Once we use force, we will lose miserably."

The family of the Kingdom of Poland is not solid. After so many years of hard work, the Republican army has only two infantry divisions and one cavalry division, accounting for 30% of the total Polish army.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Dongbrowsky made the decision: "Then William I will not be elected. As long as the chosen king is someone else, the Prussian plan cannot continue.

I do n’t believe that the Prussians dared to send troops to annex us directly. It ’s impossible for European countries to be indifferent to such things.

Especially those small countries, if they do not want to be annexed one day, they must support us at this time.One family or two may be inconspicuous, and if everyone unites, the Prussians will not be able to eat it."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Badlevski shook his head: "This is difficult to achieve, Your Excellency Prime Minister. William I's support in the parliament is very high, far surpassing the competition.

Even if we support other people, we can't dominate the election.Unless extraordinary measures are taken to interfere with this election.

Only in this way, the consequences are very serious. After this precedent is set, the future Polish democratic process will be greatly affected, and we will also be nailed to the pillar of historical shame."

Prime Minister Dongbrowsky sighed: "Ah! The situation is difficult, and now I can't take care of that much anymore. The most important thing now is to save Poland first. The democratic process is the future.

Poland ’s independence is not easy. This is the result achieved by countless comrades who have made sacrifices. We must not let the present achievements be destroyed.

Compared with the overall situation, our personal honor and disgrace are not important, I believe history will give a notarized evaluation."

This is the best option to prevent the Prussians from annexing Poland. As long as the king is not William I, the alliance of monarchs will not proceed.

In the world of jurisprudence in Europe, anyone who breaks the rules must pay a price for it. Prussia has not yet ignored the power of the rules.

Prime Minister Dongbrowsky has already regretted it. If he knew that the situation would develop to the present situation, the king of Poland should be elected when the Kingdom of Poland was first established.

At that time, the governments of all countries opposed the election of William I, and he could be excluded after the election.If the Polish throne had a master, there would not be so many bad things behind.

Power is moving, and with the king, it is impossible for the prime minister to say so.East Brovsky did not resist the temptation of the Prussians, and assumed that he could control the situation.

To some extent, the original decision may not be wrong.Prussia ’s inability to annex Poland does not mean that Prussia cannot share Poland with others.

If the Kingdom of Poland struggles to develop its own national strength after independence, and shows a certain strength, then the Berlin government still needs their ally, and there will not be so many bad things.

But in fact, Poland has been fighting from independence until now.The Polish government, which has no ruling experience, formulates policies for granted, resulting in a series of jokes.

It can be seen from the economic development that the Kingdom of Poland has been recovering after the war since its independence. It has not recovered to the level before the war, and some regions have experienced negative economic growth.

Industry is a joke. Poland inherited a part of Russian industry during its independence.After these industries fell into the hands of the Polish government, not only did they not move forward, but they were dying.

The economy does not work, and the military is also tossing about it.The domestic military is divided into two by man, and they are still very hostile to each other. If you do not stab each other on the battlefield, it is all highly patriotic.

In this context, the Kingdom of Poland was simply not qualified to be an ally of Prussia.To consolidate its strength and win the next war, the Berlin government has no choice but to pay attention to Poland.

The final result is nothing more than a division or annexation.In short, the tragedy of Poland was doomed from the beginning, and the government's inability to cause the present disaster.

The room became quieter, the breath and heartbeat of everyone could be heard faintly, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Your Excellency, great things are not good."

A voice came from outside the door, pulling everyone out of contemplation.

Prime Minister Dongbrowsky gave a dissatisfied glare to the person. How could the meeting place break out, it was too unruly.

He had made up his mind that if it was n’t a big deal, he would have to teach this guy who does n’t understand the rules: “Let ’s say, the sky has n’t fallen.”

The young man replied nervously: "Yesterday afternoon, our garrison in the Kiev area and the Russians had a fierce conflict, and a gun battle broke out, causing 8 deaths and 12 injuries to our side."

After that, he hurriedly handed the telegram to Prime Minister Dongbrovsky.

The border conflict between Russia and Poland has occurred from time to time, but the deaths still rarely happen. Usually, both sides will restrain each other, and it is generally done after a fight, and there are few guns.

The telegraph only introduced the causes and consequences of the conflict. There was no other explanation, and Prime Minister Dongbrowsky's complexion suddenly dimmed.

The house leaks coincided with the continuous rain, and the Russian-Polish conflict broke out at this time, which is definitely not a good thing for the Polish government.

Putting the telegram on the side of the table, Prime Minister Dongbrovsky snapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people. Is the Russian so eager to start a war!"

Others circulated the telegrams one after another, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.The conflict was completely planned by the Russians.
