In Desai's study, in addition to the Grand Duke himself and former Russian Minister of State Spilansky, the discussion was also participated in the Marquis of Fernando, the Minister of Catalonia, and the Earl of Gicconin, the Minister of Sweden.

In this room, a Russian exile abandoned by St. Petersburg, an Aragonist who took the initiative to lose after defeat, a Swedish nobleman who was about to defect due to righteous indignation, and a half-French and Poles himself, gathered together to discuss and decide the feasibility of the Duchy of Warsaw to carry out military operations against Prussia.

Perhaps in Desai's subconscious, he had never truly trusted his fellow Polish compatriots who defected to him. Because the suffering history engraved in Poland once showed that those monarchs, Jacobins, and the nobles who expressed their loyalty to the Wazinki Palace, who were inclined to free-thinking, sold their motherland and monarch to St. Petersburg as soon as Napoleon failed his expedition to Russia.

Of course, the traitors have all kinds of perfect reasons and persuasive excuses, but they cannot change the above facts. This is also an important reason why Desai continues to live in peace with the nobles who oppose him. Because he needs the powerful aristocratic faction of the majority of the middle-ranking ministers of the House of Parliament to restrain and balance various factions in the country so that other political forces can surround him.

Although Desai was very confident, he was able to use the assistance of the Danze Army and the strong support of the missions of various countries to overthrow the noble parliament in the Castle Square to the ground with lightning speed and implement the centralized monarchy system.

However, this will become meaningless. The only result is that other factions will take the opportunity to grow bigger, because Poland's current national conditions and Napoleon's decisive influence restrict everything. Therefore, Desai finally accepted the Marquis of Fernando's peace proposal and used interest chips to gradually divide the aristocratic factions, rather than relying solely on force and bloody suppression.

In the room, Spilansky and Gicconen also expressed support for Fernando's claims. Everyone was not worried about anything when it came to military operations against Prussia, because the Warsaw Alliance would have an overwhelming majority than Prussia.

Among them, the Grand Duke of Desai, who was the main force, will dispatch his newly formed Guard Division, namely the original Guard Brigade, the Sarasen Chest Plate Cavalry Brigade and the Gendarmerie Brigade; in addition, there are four Polish divisions that have just evacuated from the border of the Neman River (2 divisions funded by Desai and 2 divisions that have recovered the Jacobins), and the total force of the Duchy of Warsaw is 30,000;

To the south, the Austrian Minister has made a commitment on behalf of Prime Minister Metternich: Vienna will have an infantry division, a cavalry brigade and three naval battalions, with about 12,000 men, who will go down the upper reaches of the Oder River and participate in joint military operations in the south;

In the west, although August I would not send troops directly to the war, Dresden said that he would assume the duties of engineers and baggage, and provide most of the military supplies to the Poor and Austrian coalition.

At the same time, the regular army of the Kingdom of Prussia only retained about 50,000 people, and it must be divided into all parts of the country. According to the analysis of the military intelligence army, even if the Berlin Palace did its best to mobilize troops everywhere, at best, it would only mobilize about 25,000 troops.

The Poor and Austrian coalition had an absolute advantage in terms of 42,000 against Prussia's 25,000, at least in terms of military strength. In addition, the Danze legion commanded by Prince Eugen and some French troops in Poland would also secretly restrain the Prussian troops from the south. Not only that, the Baltic fleet under Desay's remote control could also deter the fragile coastal defense of the Prussian Kingdom at any time and launch a war of breaking wars and harassment.

Of course, Prussia's military strength is not the 50,000 people on the surface, and there are also a large number of reserve soldiers.

Since 1808, Schánhorst and his disciple Gneisenau also joined forces with Blücher and others to jointly carry out major operations on the Prussian army, presided over various military reforms, and made a major change in the system, equipment, strategies and tactics of the Prussian army, including the establishment of the prototype of the General Staff, the implementation of the compulsory military service system, the renewal of weapons and equipment, and the strengthening of military training. However, due to the constraints of the French Empire, this reform can only be carried out secretly and intermittently.

In May 1810, after the Prussian minister participated in the assassination of the Crown Prince of Desay, in order to avoid revenge and investigation from Paris, the Prussian army immediately stopped and disbanded the daily training of the reserve soldiers. Although the reserves were restarted in April this year, after 13 months of severe desolation, Prussia's defense power had been greatly weakened.

According to the information from the Military Intelligence Agency, the monthly live ammunition training volume of the regular Prussian army is less than 5 rounds, which is worse than the Russians who like bayonet charges. Moreover, many of the weapons they hold are old antiques eliminated during the French Revolution. The British provided weapons assistance to Prussia, and are still lying in a warehouse in Sweden and have not been transported to Berlin.

As for the Prussian reserve troops, it was even worse. Two-thirds of the soldiers had no guns and could only use wooden sticks as rifles to conduct simple queue training. Due to the lack of weapons and training, the morale of soldiers was generally not high, which was not much better than that of militia.

It is precisely because of this consideration that the shameless Duke Desai would "take your life while you are sick!" He was full of confidence and fought a war in Prussia, which had not yet recovered, and broke the backbone of the so-called German advocacy in later generations.

However, Fernando raised a question. "Your Highness, there is another factor to be considered. Napoleon probably would not agree to the military threat of Warsaw to Prussia. If I remember correctly, the previous information mentioned that Paris is actively seeking an anti-Russian alliance with Berlin. I am worried that the war against Prussia will be urgently stopped by Napoleon before it even began."

Desai smiled, but said nothing. Earl Gicconin, who was standing by, was responsible for explaining: "The Marquis said this is true, but not all Prussians agree to the alliance with France. My family sent a secret report from Stockholm. A week ago, General Gneisenau was the secret envoy of the Prussian Kingdom. To be precise, he represented the anti-French instructions headed by Queen Louise and the Marquis of Prime Minister Hardenburg. With the active participation of the Swedish Regent Crown Prince Bernardot, he secretly met with the former British Foreign Secretary, Lord Wellesley, and the Russian Minister of State. Well, he was the new Minister of State Admiral Chichakov."

Speaking of this, Earl Gicconin gave apologetic eyes to Spelansky, who was sitting opposite him, and the Russian "Son of the Priest" shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't mind and had already let go of his heart. After being ruthlessly abandoned by the former monarch, after being successfully persuaded by the Swedish envoy and the solemn promise of Desai, Spelansky had officially defected to the Principality of Warsaw and played for the Grand Duke of Desai.

So, Earl Gicconen continued: "The main content of the secret agreement between the four parties is naturally based on how to organize a new round of anti-French alliances, overthrow Napoleon and the French Empire, and restore the European territory in 1793.

Just yesterday, in accordance with the request of the Grand Duke, I have instructed my people to secretly disclose the above secret agreement to the French ambassador to Sweden, and report it to the Duille Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, within two weeks, the cowardly and incompetent Prussian king Frederick William III will make a strong defense to the envoy who rushes into the Berlin Palace again. Therefore, we judge that the military operation of the three countries in the Warsaw alliance to siege Prussia will be secretly acquiesced by Emperor Napoleon."

When Count Gicconin finished speaking, Desai stood up and made the final decision: within a week, five Polish divisions, including the Guards Division, would follow him from Warsaw to the southwest, pass through the province of Rhodes, enter the Lower Silesia region, and eventually recover the lost land. He finally stated: "If the Prussians wisely choose to retreat, then this military operation would stop at the Oder River; if the war breaks out, the Warsaw Alliance will completely encircle and annihilate all the troops in South Prussia."

After the meeting, Fernando, Spelanski and Earl of Gicconen announced their leave to the Grand Announcement. However, 30 minutes later, as the Minister of Catalonia, he was recalled back to the Palace of Wazinki by the adjutant of the Grand Duke Desai.

Desai asked the Marquis to prepare the pen and paper, "Please help me draw up a notice in the name of the Regent of the United Kingdom."

When waiting for the Marquis to sit at the desk and pick up the ink-stained quill, Desai shook his head again and then instructed: "Don't make a record, you will go back to Manresa yourself and tell the Nine-man regiment to complete the entire source of the main army before October this year, and increase the number of the reserve army to more than 70% of the total organization. In addition...

After returning to the Manresa Palace, please issue a notice on my behalf: Prince Andrew Desai will voluntarily give up his regent position in the United Kingdom of Catalonia and return all the power to the Manresa parliamentary cabinet, and Mrs. Litisia acts as the governor, on the grounds that the Grand Duke of Warsaw was overworked and had no time to take into account the military, political and state affairs related to the Mediterranean."

"Why?" Fernando asked in shock.

Desai said in a deep voice: "Just half an hour ago, I just received a secret telegram from London. The British Expeditionary Force led by Wellington landed on the Portuguese coast again, defeated the unprepared Spanish and French troops, and recaptured Lisbon."
