Chapter 561： Russia-Poland conflict

Polish republican elections are imminent, and the Polish Republicans, unwilling to lose power, have begun their own actions.

In Warsaw, the prime minister's official residence, East Brovsky, convened high-level Republican meetings. If anyone pays attention, they will find that most of the people attending the meeting are government officials, while the military generals are few.

There is no way. After all, the Polish independence movement was successful in generating external forces. Almost all the military personnel who led the uprising were trained by the great powers. They truly belong to the Revolutionary Party and have limited power.

If that's not enough, the Revolutionary Party has established a legal government, and it is not a big problem to bring these people together.

Regrettably, the Polish government was heavily influenced by French thinking. It was taken for granted that the military should listen to the government, and its position was very low in the framework of government rights.

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

In this case, the country revolves around the army, and it is the best choice to develop the army as hard as possible. For example, the Kingdom of Prussia next door is a good learning object.

Obviously, the revolutionaries who have low-minded skills did not think so much. Once the power was in control, they were ecstatic.

From the perspective of senior government officials, this army with a background of great powers is unreliable. It is necessary to replace all senior military personnel with their own.

The army is a place where the strong are admired. How can it win everyone's support without a track record?

The Polish government's approach was naturally met with resistance from the military, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad. Government-appointed high-level generals have no one to buy them, and have often been suspended.

This kind of behavior appears to the Polish government to be a manifestation of warlordization. For this reason, the government has also begun to set up a new stove, based on the revolutionary party's armed forces, to build a completely obedient army.

The army is a swallowing beast, and the establishment of a new army will naturally occupy the military expenses of the original army, which undoubtedly exacerbates the conflict between the two sides.

Now that the government is so annoying, of course they have to get rid of them. It was at this time that the Prussians gave out an olive branch. Under the impetus of the interests, the two sides snapped together, and many people in the Polish army fell to the Kingdom of Prussia.

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

Everyone has any ideas now. Today we are looking for a way of life for Poland, and 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, it is no longer a secret.

Over the years, the Polish government has been working to get rid of Prussian influence. It's just that their means are not enough, and they often make a mess of things.

Minister of Foreign Affairs V. Vulublevski: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted European countries and the current situation is not very optimistic.

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

Not long ago, the diplomatic oolong that broke out, we severely offended Austria. The Vienna government does not want to see Prussia annex Poland, nor does it want to see us continue to govern Poland.

If the Prussians are willing to pay a large price, both France and Austria are likely to be neutral. The only good news is that the British will support us, and they don't want to see continued mergers in continental Europe. "

Without mentioning the rest of the country, no other country has the power to interfere. The powerful Russian empire interferes with everyone's enemies.

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

Chancellor of the Exchequer Baderevsky: "The support of the British may not be useful. The sea is their world.

In addition to the illegal Austrian countries, we also support us. Otherwise, if the Prussians are strong, we will not be able to resist it.

We must know that the warlords in the country have long been associated with them. Once we use force, we will lose very badly. "

The Kingdom of Poland has a poor family base. 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 moment, the Prime Minister Donbrovsky made the decision: "Then we will not let William I be elected. As long as the chosen king is someone else, the Prussian plan cannot continue.

I don't believe that the Prussians dare to send troops to annex us directly. It is impossible for European countries to remain indifferent to such things.

Especially those small countries, if they don't want to be annexed one day, they must support us at this time. A family of two may be inconspicuous, and if everyone joins together, the Prussians will not be able to bear it. "

Chancellor of the Exchequer Baderevski shook his head: "His Prime Minister, this is difficult to achieve. William I's approval in parliament is very high, far exceeding the competition.

Even if we support others, we won't have an advantage in elections. Unless extraordinary measures are taken to interfere with this election.

However, the consequences are also very serious. After setting this precedent, the future democratic process in Poland will be greatly affected, and we will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. "

The Prime Minister Donbrovsky sighed: "Oh! The situation is difficult and we can't take care of that much now. The most important thing right now is to keep Poland first. The democratic process is the future.

Poland's independence is not easy. This is the result of countless comrades-in-arms' sacrifice. We must not let the current achievements be ruined.

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

This is the best way to prevent the Prussians from annexing Poland. As long as the King is not William I, the Commonwealth Alliance cannot proceed.

In the legal world of Europe, anyone who breaks the rules must pay for it. Prussia has not yet ignored the rules.

The Prime Minister of East Brovsky has regretted it a bit. If it had been known that the situation would develop to the present situation, the King should be elected when the Kingdom of Poland was first established.

At that time, governments of all countries opposed the election of William I, and it was entirely possible to exclude him before the election. If the Polish throne had a master, there would not be so many bad things behind.

Power is moving. With the King, it is impossible for the Prime Minister to say so. East Brovsky did not resist the temptation of the Prussians at first, taking for granted that he could manage the situation.

To some extent, the original decision may not be wrong. The inability of Prussia to annex Poland does not mean that Prussia cannot join hands with others to divide Poland.

If the Kingdom of Poland fights for itself and strives to develop its national strength after independence, and demonstrates a certain strength, then the Berlin government still needs them as an ally, and there will not be so many bad things.

In fact, Poland has been fighting internally since independence. The Polish government, who has no governing experience, took policy for granted and ended up making a series of jokes.

It can be seen from the economic development that since the independence of the Kingdom of Poland, post-war recovery has been carried out. So far, it has not recovered to the pre-war level. In some areas, negative economic growth has also occurred.

Industry is even more a joke. Poland's independence inherited part of Russia's industry. After these industries fell into the hands of the Polish government, instead of moving forward, they were dying.

The economy is not working, and the military is tossing around. The domestic army is divided into two artificially, and they are still very hostile to each other. There is no sword on the battlefield, which is patriotic and enthusiastic.

In this context, the Kingdom of Poland was simply not qualified to be an ally of Prussia. To consolidate power and win the next war, the Berlin government had no choice but to fight Poland's attention.

The end result is nothing more than a question of partition or annexation. In short, the tragedy in Poland was doomed from the beginning, and the government's inability led to the current disaster.

The room was quiet, and the sound of breathing and heartbeat from everyone could be heard faintly, and the atmosphere became tense.

"His Prime Minister, the big deal is bad."

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

The prime minister of East Brovsky glanced dissatisfied at the people. How could the meeting place be trespassing? It was really unruly.

He had already made up his mind. If it wasn't a big deal, he would have to teach this guy who does n’t understand the rules: "Let ’s say, the sky has not fallen."

The young man replied nervously: "Yesterday afternoon, there was a fierce clash between our defenders in the Kiev region and the Russians, and a gun battle broke out, which caused 8 deaths and 12 injuries to our side."

Having said that, he hurriedly handed the telegram to Prime Minister Donbrowski.

Border conflicts between Russia and Poland occur from time to time, but the dead are still rare. Usually, the two sides will restrain each other. Generally, they fight with each other and rarely fire.

The telegram only introduced the causes and consequences of the conflict, without other explanations, the Prime Minister of East Brovsky's face suddenly became gloomy.

The house leak happens to be rainy at night. At this time, the Russian-Polish conflict broke out. This is definitely not a good thing for the Polish government. If they can't handle it, they will get out.

The telegraph was often on one side of the table. The Prime Minister of East Brovsky patted the table angrily and said angrily: "It's too bullying. Is the Russian so anxious to provoke war!"

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