Chapter 604 Polish Sejm
"My idea is that Russia will attack Riga and Vilnius from the east, which will allow the Polish army to be mobilized. Then we will attack from the south and west, so that we can occupy Poland as quickly as possible."

Mihaly's idea was actually to say it again: as long as the three countries unite, they will definitely succeed.

At this time, the Crown Prince and the Elector of Brandenburg also returned. Vlad fainted on the spot when he heard the news. He was very sad when he saw his father's body. But he still joined the discussion about Poland after the funeral.

"The Poles are different from other people. They are deeply influenced by Catholicism and are happy to interact with the Vatican. We must strike them thoroughly and destroy everything about them so that they will integrate."

"That's right! The Poles and Lithuanians will only affect our strategy and must be completely eliminated." Mihaly immediately responded.

"Yes, Poland is our focus." Peter took over and changed the subject: "Do you think this war can be ended within a year?"

Mihaly had already considered this, and he replied: "As long as we destroy their army and finally occupy the Polish capital Warsaw, the Polish people's fighting spirit will probably be completely gone.

But as far as I know, Warsaw has high walls and thick walls. If you want to break through it, you must pay a lot to achieve your goal. If the Polish reinforcements arrive at the critical moment of the siege, it will not only disrupt the siege, but also may lead to the defeat of the entire army. "

At this time, Vlad said: "Brandenburg needs to suppress opponents in Silesia recently, so there won't be too many soldiers involved, but I will do my best to stabilize the situation in Pomerania and buy time for your arrival."

The two brothers nodded. Brandenburg already had to deal with the affairs of the Holy Roman Empire, not to mention sending troops to Poland. As long as he didn't let Poland break through his defense line, it would be fine.

"Father, I think this is not a good time given the current situation in Romania. Grandpa has just been buried and Fourth Uncle hasn't come back yet. Should we wait until he comes back? We should be more cautious and make more thorough preparations to ensure that if a war really breaks out, we are fully confident of winning!"

Alexander's suggestion made Mihaly frown, but he continued.

"I also hope to wait until the kingdom has sufficient soldiers and food, and there are no external threats around before taking action. But good opportunities never come easily, and the enemy will not be so stupid as to stand still and let us interfere." Peter sighed and said, "Alexander, you reminded me of the war with Venice. At that time, the Ottomans and Venice attacked from both sides, but they were all resolved one by one. In the end, they all disappeared. We can only see it in history books.

Good opportunities are not waiting, but won by our courageous actions. And the Poles are as brave as anyone else. They have long known that we will be their enemies, so they have begun to harass us at the border.
Now is a good time! Defeating the Poles will help us move into the equally fertile land they occupy in central Poland! I think Russia needs the fertile land near Warsaw very much. "

——————————Kiev has been fortified since the Romanian occupation. With its geographical location, Kiev has become an important city in the north, and it is also a place frequently harassed by Lithuanians.

After Listerlin became a high-ranking official in the Kiev Province, he began to systematically kill Lithuanian soldiers and placed their bodies on the border with Poland, hoping that the Poles would not be ungrateful.

But it turns out that the Poles just don't know what's good for them. It's not their fault, because Romania and the Cossacks always plunder their population and sell it.

The Polish Sejm went crazy, with members talking about attacking Romania to regain lost territory, but Władysław remained unmoved.

This is not because he is afraid of them, but because he needs a long-term plan. It is difficult for Poland to deal with Rome, let alone three countries. Władysław tried to restore Poland's national strength, but the nobles relied on their power to unite against the king. In this year-long struggle, Władysław still failed. He was forced to sign an agreement to give the nobles more political rights, and the power of the Sejm began to suppress the king.

Władysław repeatedly requested funds from the Sejm to increase the army, but nothing happened. However, they were quick to declare war on Rome. The king was angry. How could he defeat the enemy without spending money?

"We must teach Romania a lesson, otherwise they will think that the Poles are at the mercy of others. If the Duke of Lithuania had not rashly led his army to attack, he would not have been able to defeat the Romanians in time despite having superior forces, which would have led to a disastrous defeat in the end. Not only did we lose many brave soldiers, but we also hit the morale of the remaining soldiers, boosted the arrogance of the Romanians and Russians, and gave them the courage to resist our army's attack in the next battle, causing us to suffer another defeat..."

"I have never heard such absurd words!" Władysław defended, "How can the failure of that battle be blamed solely on the Duke of Lithuania! If we have to blame someone, it's because we didn't inform them in time about the arrival of the Romanian army!"

"Huh, so all this can only be blamed on Romania being too powerful, right?!" a congressman sneered disdainfully.

"We should not dwell on who was right or wrong in the battle a few years ago, but should discuss how to deal with the threat from Romania in the future. This is the problem we urgently need to solve!" Władysław said solemnly.

"Yes, and Romania also has two allies, Russia and Brandenburg, who are always threatening us and countries like Teutonic." Senior councillor Andrzej also supported the king and said, "If we really have to fight, we must be fully prepared. We will not succeed just by being enthusiastic."

Seeing that no one was talking, Władysław finally began to speak, directing the topic to the focus of this meeting: "From the current situation, Romania has a strong army and a powerful fleet, which poses a great threat to us! In addition, Russia still has a large number of troops in Polotsk, threatening Vilnius at any time. Brandenburg also has 10,000 troops stationed in Danzig in Pomerania. We are surrounded by enemies on three sides. I hope that all parliamentarians can unite and deal with the next situation together. I beg you."
