Chapter 628 Partition
"Your Majesty, we have captured Warsaw!"

The messenger excitedly reported to Peter that they had eliminated the enemies in Warsaw and Poland was destroyed.

"Okay, now we just have to wait for Mihaly to come."

Poland has been destroyed, and now it is time to happily divide the property. According to the previous treaty between the brothers, Poland, Lithuania, Livonia and Teutonia all need to be divided, and it depends on what happens next.

"Your Majesty, the Russian army is coming."

Peter was surprised by the sudden speed, but when he thought about it, both armies had arrived, and he was the only one who hadn't arrived yet, so shouldn't he be anxious?

"Brother, I'm here!"

Mihaly hurried to the camp, saw his eldest brother and third brother, and went up to hug them.

"Now Lithuania and Livonia are no match for us. They can only spend their lives in the monastery."

Michael told Peter about his conquest of Lithuania and Livonia, and Peter praised him.

"Well done. Now, nothing can stop us."

The three brothers rode into Warsaw on horseback, led by a standard-bearer holding the flags of the three countries. The citizens of Warsaw looked at them in fear, not knowing what fate awaited them.

"This is a good place. If it can be well managed, it will be a very good city."

Vlad looked at the ruined city and talked about the importance of Warsaw from a professional perspective. The land here is fertile and there is the Vistula River. It can become an important city. Poland's current attention is no longer effective.

"These people should become slaves and serve us," Mihaly added.

The procession advanced as far as the Warsaw Castle, the residence of the Polish king, and now that the army had finished cleaning it, Peter naturally entered.

"Now, let's talk about the next steps."

Peter waved to the soldiers, and a huge map was presented. This was a map of the entire Central and Eastern Europe, with all the countries shown.

Peter drew his sword and mapped out the territory on the map. "According to the previous treaty, Rome will get Krakow, Lviv and Galicia, Russia will get Lithuania and Livonia, and Brandenburg will get the rest."

This was the sphere of influence delineated according to the previous secret agreement between the brothers, but it seemed that Vlad and Michael had some different opinions.

"I have a different opinion," Vlad said immediately, "I think Warsaw should be given to us, because..."

"Stop talking, I agree." Michael said directly. After all, the Brandenburg army had killed the Polish king, so it would be unreasonable not to give up some territory. Vlad didn't expect his second brother to be so straightforward, but he still accepted the city of Warsaw.

Of course, the eastern part of Warsaw belonged to Russia, as well as Lithuania and Livonia, and the entire eastern Baltic Sea was Russia's sphere of influence.

Romania got the southern region, which is not large in area, but is the fastest growing area in Poland. The three of them decided to completely eliminate Polish culture, or at least suppress it, so that some people would not use Poland as an excuse to revolt. "By the way, there have been some changes in the French government recently, and that young man has become king."

Peter knew that this young man was Charles VII, the king who would lead France to victory in the future. It seemed that the butterfly effect brought by the family had a great impact, and at least 700 years of history would be changed.

"Ha, that kid probably doesn't know his responsibilities yet. It's no big deal."

"Don't say that. We should also look at France properly. He still has great potential. His loyalty to Toledo can help him gain a steady stream of support. We are thousands of miles away from Stefan, so it's not easy to get support."

Peter talked about the current dilemma. Although Stefan had England, their base was in Eastern Europe. Although they were connected with Andalusia and the Hanseatic League, the sea connection was still fragile, not to mention that Stefan was attacking France.

In Central Europe, where Vlad had more say, he looked at the map and pointed to Bohemia.

"Sigismund intends to launch a fatal attack here. We can support Hus to provide us with a buffer."

At present, the Hussites still controlled the two cities of Brno and Prague and large rural areas. Because Hus was still there, the moderates and radicals could still fight against Sigismund under one banner.

Their regime building was also underway. They reorganized the parliament and elected Hus as the head of the republic. The army was also preparing to expand to 10000 people.

Sigismund was also not idle. Austria, Bavaria, Saxony and Luxembourg provided 30000 troops to the Crusaders. They were preparing to attack Brno and cut off the heretics' connection between the north and south regions.

They also launched brutal economic sanctions against Bohemia. Sigismund announced in the name of the King of Germany that no state in the territory was allowed to trade with Bohemia in any form, and any state that did so would be regarded as an enemy.

Under the dual blow of military and economic, the situation in Bohemia was not good. However, Hus led the government to fight with amazing perseverance, solving the economic problem through trade with the Hanseatic League and actively defending to make up for the gap in their army.

The two sides are currently in a standoff, and now it depends on their diplomacy.

"How are they doing?" Peter asked Vlad.

"It's not optimistic. It's a miracle that they can hold on until now. If they continue like this, they will be defeated by Sigismund sooner or later."

Vlad expressed his opinion that the Bohemian army was not professional soldiers after all. Most of them were composed of farmers and miners. Without formal training, they could not defeat the enemy.

"Yes, it is indeed a miracle. Let's make this miracle last longer."

Peter decided to intervene in Bohemia, which was also an important opportunity for Vlad to expand. Endless war would definitely cause division within the Holy Roman Empire, and small states would not be able to support it and would revolt. If Romania could intervene, some countries might turn to them.

Of course, the army was out of the question. Peter was going to transfer a large number of troops to the Jerusalem area, and the harassment of the two holy places had already shown results. There were problems with local trade, and food prices had tripled. More tribes were disgusted with the local families, and tribal resistance had begun in the desert since the year before last.

Romania would not miss such an opportunity. They have already started the transfer of troops. The Ministry of Finance has provided 200 million lei as the first fund. The East India Company has also contributed 30 lei to solve the Red Sea problem, so that trade can be more secure.

Of course, there were also several important families who contributed their own funds, including the Mason family. They realized that this war would bring supreme glory, so they also provided a lot of support, hoping to gain more prestige for their family and the favor of the emperor.
