Chapter 131, the Russian-Polish conflict

The Polish republican, who was unwilling to lose power, also began their own actions.

In the official residence of Warsaw, Dongbrovsky convened a senior republic to send a meeting. If someone pays attention, it will be found that most of the people attending the meeting are government officials, while few military generals are.

There is no way. After all, the Polish independence movement was successful due to external forces. Almost all the military personnel leading the uprising were trained by the great powers, and they truly belonged to the revolutionary party with limited strength.

If it were just this was nothing. The revolutionary party had established a legal government, so it would be no big problem to win over these people.

Unfortunately, the Polish government was seriously affected by French ideas and took it for granted that the army should listen to the government. The position of the army was suppressed very low in the government's rights framework.

Of course this is fine in peaceful times. The army does not interfere in politics, and it is the case with normal countries. The tragedy is that Poland is not a normal country. Although it is independent, the threat of war always exists.

In this case, the best choice is to revolve around the army and do your best to develop the army. For example, the Kingdom of Prussia next door is a good learning object.

Obviously, the revolutionaries with high vision and low skills did not think so much. Once they were in power, they would be complacent.

In the eyes of the government's top leaders, this army full of backgrounds of the great powers is unreliable. It is natural to replace all the top leaders of the military with their own people.

The army is a place where the strong are praised. Without a record of being able to achieve success, how can it gain everyone's support?

The Polish government's actions were naturally boycotted by the military, and the relationship between the two sides was very bad. No one bought the senior generals appointed by the government, and were often undermined.

In the eyes of the Polish government, this behavior was a manifestation of warlordization, and for this reason the government also began to start a new development and build an army that was completely obedient to itself on the basis of the revolutionary party's armed forces.

The army is a gold-eating beast, and establishing a new army naturally requires squeezing the military spending of the original army, which undoubtedly exacerbates the conflict between the two sides.

Since the government hates it so much, of course it has to get rid of them. At this time, the Prussians extended an olive branch, and the two sides hit it off with the help of interests. Many people in the Polish army turned to the Kingdom of Prussia.

Dongbrovsky said: "Everyone, 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.

What do you think now? We are talking freely. Today we are going to find a way out 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 too many people involved in any secret, it is no longer a secret.

Over the years, the Polish government has been working hard to get rid of the Prussian influence. But their means are not enough and often they make things messy.

Foreign Minister Vulublevsky: "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 handover of rights, and now the Paris government is engaged in a war without gunpowder. There is no problem in supporting us diplomatically, and there is little possibility of directly sending troops to intervene.

The diplomatic misunderstanding that came not long ago was severely offended Austria. The Vienna government did not want to see Prussia annex Poland, nor did it want to see us continue to dominate Poland.

If the Prussians were willing to spend a big price, both France and Austria could be neutral. The only good news is that the British will support us, and they don’t want to see the European Big 6 continue to merge."

The remaining countries were not mentioned, and that was because no other countries had the strength to interfere. The Russian Empire, which had the strength to interfere, was the enemy.

As politicians, they don’t care about joining forces with the enemy, but the political consequences also need to be considered. The political influence of hooking up with the Russians is too bad and they can’t afford it. Even the Tsarist government’s intervention is more likely to do anything bad.

Secretary of the Exchequer Badlevsky: "The support of the British may not be useful. The sea is their world, but it is not their turn to make the decision.

Unless one of the two countries of France and Austria supports us, we will not be able to resist it if the Prussians acted forcefully.

You should know that the warlords in China have long been hooking up with them. Once they use force, we will lose a lot."

The Polish Kingdom had a poor family background. After so many years of hard work, the Republican army had only two infantry divisions and one cavalry division, accounting for 30% of the total Polish army.

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

I don't believe that the Prussians dare to send troops to annex us directly. No European countries can remain indifferent to such matters.

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

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Badlevsky shook his head: "Sir, this is difficult to do. William I's approval rating in parliament is very high, far surpassing his competitors.

Even if we support others, we cannot gain an advantage in the election. Unless we take extraordinary measures to interfere with this election.

But this will lead to serious consequences. After setting this precedent, the future process of Poland's democratic history will be greatly affected, and we will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame."

Dongbrovsky sighed: "Ah! The situation is difficult, and now I can't take care of so many things. The most important thing now is to save Poland first, and the democratic process is the future.

It is not easy for Poland to be independent. This is the result of countless comrades who have made sacrifices one after another. We must not let the current achievements be ruined.

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 choice to prevent the Prussians from annexing Poland. As long as the king is not William I, the Communist League will not continue.

In Europe, a world of legal theory, anyone who breaks the rules must pay the price for it. Prussia does not have the strength to ignore the rules.

Dongbrovsky had already regretted it. If I had known that the situation would have been so far, the king would have been chosen when the Polish Kingdom was first established.

At that time, governments in various countries opposed William I's election, and he could be excluded and then held elections. If the Polish throne had a master, there would be no so many bad things later.

Power is touching, and with the king, it is impossible to say anything like this. Dongbrovsky did not resist the temptation of the Prussians at the beginning, and took it for granted that he could control 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 forces with others to divide Poland.

If the Kingdom of Poland itself strives to show its national strength and demonstrates a certain degree of strength after independence, then the Berlin government still needs them as an ally and there will be no such bad things.

But in fact, Poland has been infighting since its independence. The Polish government, which has no experience in governing, took it for granted, and caused a series of jokes.

From the economic exhibition, we can see that since the independence of the Kingdom of Poland, it has been recovering after the war, and has not yet returned to the pre-war level. Some areas have seen negative economic growth.

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

The economy is not good, and the military is also messing around. The domestic army is artificially divided into two, and it is very hostile to each other. If you don’t stab each other in the battlefield, you are all patriotic and enthusiastic.

Under this background, the Kingdom of Poland was not qualified to be an ally of Prussia. If you want to integrate your strength and win the next war, the Berlin government had no choice but to pay attention to Poland.

The final result is nothing more than a division or annexation. In short, the tragedy in Poland was destined from the beginning, and the government's incompetence led to the current disaster.

The room became quiet, and everyone's breathing and heartbeat could be heard vaguely, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Your Excellency, something is not good."

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

Dongbrovsky glared at the people who came dissatisfied. How could he go around in the meeting place? It was so unruly.

He had already made up his mind to pay attention. If it wasn't a big deal, he would teach this guy who didn't understand the rules a lesson: "Tell me, the sky hasn't fallen yet."

The young man replied nervously: "Yesterday afternoon, our defenders in Kiev had a fierce conflict with the Russians, and a gunfight broke out, killing 8 people and injuring 12 people."

After saying that, he hurriedly handed the telegram to Dongbrovsky.

There are life when the border conflict between Russia and Poland conflicts, but few things happen to death. Usually, both sides will restrain each other. Generally, one fight will be done, and few people can use guns.

The telegram only introduced the causes and consequences of the conflict. Without any other explanation, Dongbrovsky's face suddenly became gloomy.

It was raining all night long, and the Russian-Polish conflict broke out at this time. This was definitely not a good thing for the Polish government. If one is not handled properly, they will get out.

When the telegram was often on the table, Dongbrovsky slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "It's just too much to deceive people. Are the Russians so anxious to provoke a war!"

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