The Crescent of the Sultan

August Kazimierzky then asked seriously.

"According to this plan, Kosciuszko, how many troops do you need?

And how do you plan to distribute these forces?

The Russians are difficult to deal with, not to mention there are a group of leading parties. "

Hearing this, Stanislaw II, who was sitting on the main seat, turned his head in embarrassment.

Although no one looked at him, everyone knew that the biggest leader in this country was his uncle.

August Kazimierzki was too lazy to pay attention to the king's little thoughts.

This waste has been supported for so many years by my own family, the Kamil Chapotoresky family and the Ensen-Machovsky family.

As a result, Poland lost 30% of its territory and population, leaving behind an army of only 10,000 men and a large number of leading party members.

If we really want to say that there is a traitor in the country, we will follow the example of the French and conduct a popular trial. August Kazimierzky will be the first to vote for the king.

Kamil Chapotoreski said on the side.

"I can be responsible for contacting the Duke of Bourbon-Condé. The Chapotoreski family has connections with many French nobles. That is a link that existed during the time of Louis XIV.

After all, we not only have a king supported by the Russians now, but the French also wanted to give us one a hundred years ago.

Having said this, Kamil Chapotoreski smiled.

"Sorry, I said it wrong, it's less than a hundred years. But this is even better news, isn't it? At least those people in the French plains faction are easier to persuade me. Of course, money is essential."

Enson-Machowski asked.

"Where are the weapons? How can we fight without weapons? If we expand the army, with the talent reserves over the years and the generals in the past, we can probably expand the army by 150,000 people.

This is also the limit of our current organizational capabilities, but we cannot provide so many weapons. "

Kosciuszko smiled.

"Regarding this issue, my idea is to give priority to providing the Austrian front with sufficient equipment. For the Russian direction, except for the first line of defense, the rest of the soldiers will only be issued with some weapons for the time being. The same is true for the Prussian direction.

Of course, even so, our weapons are still not enough. From the Russian side, according to the information I have received, they have sent at least 100,000 troops. The commander-in-chief is Potemkin and the chief of staff is Suvorov.

For this route, with equal forces, I had no confidence in victory, so my choice was to rely on the geographical location, arrange two lines of defense, build fortifications, and let 60,000 people rely on the fortifications to defend.

As for the Prussian side, my vision is to have 30,000 troops. We can delay it as long as we can, and we must persist until the Austrian army returns to support.

The highlight is Krakow. The Austrians are already close to here, and there are almost no defenders in the city. In other words, the opponent is really close to Warsaw.

We might as well abandon Krakow and lure the opponent closer to Warsaw.

You tell me, seeing this scene, what will the Prussians think, what will the Russians think, they will slow down the pace of the attack, and they will not want to see Austria take Warsaw. "

Stanislaw II suddenly lost his composure.

"Kosciuszko, what nonsense are you talking about? I made you the Great Hetman (Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Army), not for you to make such a move."

Kamil Czapotoreski, Ensen Machovsky, and August Kazimierzski all turned their heads to look at Stanislaw II, who suddenly looked like a quail. , was so frightened that he buried his head.

Kamil Chapotoreski chuckled.

"It's a good plan, Kosciuszko, but you still haven't said how to solve the weapons problem. I know that everyone here has the answer in their hearts, right?

You just don’t dare, after all, no one wants to bear the reputation of colluding with the Ottoman Empire. "

August Kazimierzky said immediately.

"There is no need to target anyone, Camille. Everyone knows the consequences of doing so. We are not France. But this does not mean that we do not have the courage to do so.

With the seaport blocked and land transportation cut off by the three countries, the only channel we can open is the Ottoman Empire.

It's better to accept the help of the new moon than to be preyed upon by the two-headed eagles, isn't it? "

"What do you mean? You already"

Kamil Chapotoreski looked at August Kazimierzki in surprise, he was a little unbelievable.

But August Kazimierzky nodded and said.

"There is no other way, everyone, we cannot afford to lose.

The talents of the Russians and Austrians were depleted by the Ottomans. They needed to replenish themselves. Is there any more thoughtful tonic than Poland?

If we fail this time, there may not be Poland anymore.

The Ottoman Empire is the only possible way to transport weapons, and it is also our retreat after failure. We have to leave seeds for Poland.

Enson-Machowski said with a sigh.

"Okay, okay, you are always so far-sighted and your guesses are almost never missed, but this time it is our motherland that has suffered this misfortune."

August Kazimierzky gave final instructions.

"No matter what, Kosciuszko, you have to send people to guard the south. We must leave the land bordering the Ottomans."

The other party nodded. They had to do their best. As for the king on the side, who cares? Everyone had already ignored the other party. .

Konstantiniya, Topkapi Palace, it was already April, twenty days after Selim received the letter from the Polish people.

The reason why he did not immediately agree to the other party's conditions was simply that the Polish price was too low, which did not meet his psychological expectations.

Of course, this is also related to the slow action of Prussia, Austria, and Russia. These guys had already announced the dispatch of troops on February 15th, and they did not reach the Polish border until the end of March. It can be said that "the troops are very fast"

However, the Sultan has not been idle in the past twenty days. He specially sent people to sort out the arsenal and stocked up enough supplies for the Poles to arm 60,000 people.

As for the quality, there is no need to worry. These are weapons used by the Guards and the Sipaxi Cavalry. It can be said that they are all brand new equipment, but they are a bit out of date.

Selim was thinking about how to scrape more meat from Poland, but Paul had already announced the arrival of the Polish ambassador.

Seeing the other party's haggard appearance, Selim couldn't help but become more alert.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is so true. If you say you didn't get beaten today, it's purely because others don't want to beat you.

Selim spoke first before the other party spoke.

Thanks to Memory Potato Chips, Shaohua BuFu, Xing Cang, P club players are ecstatic, Jiang jsj and several book friends voted for me. I have something to do today, and there will be another chapter later.
