The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"I have said before that we should not rashly antagonize Romania. This will be detrimental to the development of Poland. Now the facts have shown everything!" The Archbishop of Warsaw stood up and suggested worriedly: "In order to prevent the Romanians from further attacking us. Violation, we should immediately stop harassment at the border, sign an agreement with Russia, and send people to talk to Constantinople, Moscow and Berlin, they must be happy to stop this meaningless war for them!”

"The bishop is right!" The archbishop's proposal was actually approved by some parliamentarians. This is relatively rare for Polish parliamentarians who have always been less compromising. This also shows how much pressure Romania has on Poland.

If someone else had said this, these congressmen would have yelled angrily, but the other person was the archbishop. Taking into account its influence, the tone was gentler: "Bishop, I think you have not forgotten a resolution just passed by the Sejm to restore the largest territory of the Principality of Lithuania. Now you want us to recognize Romania's occupation, Do you think those civilians will agree? You definitely don’t want to see those civilians start a riot again!

Also, Romania has always been Poland's sworn enemy. Last time they almost wiped out Lithuania and managed to survive with our help. But will they be satisfied with just a truce with us? I'm afraid it must take the opportunity to eliminate us and divide our land with two other countries. "

"I agree with the speaker's opinion!" Military Minister Zajmoski immediately expressed his support loudly: "Since the founding of the country, Poland has never had a precedent of choosing to compromise and surrender when it was only facing the threat of the enemy. It must not Make an exception for us! We have encountered few forces that are stronger than ourselves in the past. The Mongolian army in the east has not surrendered to us, let alone Romania. As long as we unite and dare to continue fighting with Romania, I believe the final victory still belongs to Poland”

"You're right, we will never compromise!..." The younger congressmen echoed his words loudly. Although some people did not make a sound, their eyes flashed with fighting spirit.

The archbishop's face looked a little ugly. He snorted and said: "Our previous war caused Poland to suffer heavy losses. It finally recovered a little, but now you still want to push him into hell!"

"The Archbishop is right!" Wladyslaw reminded loudly: "We Poles do not refuse to fight, but we cannot be fools and be used by others. The Romanians want to take advantage of our recklessness to eliminate us on our own. We must never let them succeed.”

The congressmen all understood what the king meant, and they all agreed with it, and quickly reached a unanimous opinion: sending people to find the envoys of Lithuania, Teutonia, and Livonia, and it was impossible for Rome to attack the three of them. Keep to yourself.

After the meeting, the king continued the meeting in a small room with his cronies and ministers. Zaimoski said: "Everyone must be deeply aware that Romania is the most powerful and dangerous enemy we have faced so far. Their army has obviously received strict military training and has strong military discipline. A terrible army, this is by no means comparable to the Teutonic forces we defeated before.

Moreover, Romania has a vast territory and a large population. It is said that their current army number exceeds 100,000 people. Coupled with their powerful fleet, these are far beyond what we can fight alone. "

Wladyslaw nodded. Zajmoski was promoted from the lower nobles with great difficulty. Unlike the big nobles, the small and medium-sized nobles were more concerned about their lands not being invaded by enemies, so they were more hostile to Romania.

"We also need to strengthen military training for the soldiers to enhance their ability to fight against the Romanian army, and to understand some of their special tactics and be able to respond in a timely manner. According to my observation, Romania may have been affected by the use of troops against Vienna. influence, so there are not many troops in Ukraine.

Wladyslaw looked around them and said loudly with a serious look: "So, we can't just defend, we must also attack! We must put pressure on the Romanians and not allow them to easily concentrate their main forces to fight!"

The king's words made everyone think deeply.

"While we are defending against a possible attack by the Romanians in the southwest, we cannot sit back and watch the other two countries. Instead, we should send troops to the northeast to attack Minsk and Narva to distract Russia, and then the Teutonic attack on Pompeii Rania attracts Brandenburg's attention so we can have a chance against them."

Yes, that was Wladyslaw's plan. Facing the siege from three directions: east, west, and south, only by concentrating our forces to break through can we have a chance of survival. Most of Poland is plain, so cavalry has become the key to victory or defeat.

Russia is the weakest link in the Triple Alliance. Therefore, he placed the breakthrough point here.

"The Russians are relatively weak. Eliminating them will not only reduce one enemy for us, but the occupied land can also be distributed to soldiers and nobles so that they can serve us.

In addition, Minsk, which is adjacent to Lithuania, will also be the focus of our attack. If the Romanians as allies come to rescue, we can fight with them in that inland area with confidence. "

The ministers nodded repeatedly, but some expressed concern: "Russia has a vast territory. If they cannot surrender quickly, we will suffer a devastating blow in Krakow."

"Don't worry!" Władysław said, "I have received a promise from the Tabriz envoy. He once mentioned that the Sultan had long been dissatisfied with Romania, and they might take action against Romania in this war..."

In this way, the king's analysis aroused heated debate among the elders, and also made them determined to fight against the Three Brothers Alliance headed by Romania.

Afterwards, Władysław began to write letters to various members of parliament, and at the same time delivered a speech in the Sejm: "Members of parliament, this war with Romania is just like the war with the Mongols. It is related to the life and death of our Poland. All of us Poles must work together to face the severe test God has given us again! Any debate, doubt, and infighting will waste our energy and time in vain, destroy unity and fail to take correct actions in time!"

Such a statement did unite some people, who felt that this was Poland's last chance to rise. Even the conservatives admitted that if the current situation could not be resolved, Poland would perish one day, so they agreed with the king.
