The sudden Russo-Polish conflict shattered all the plans of Prime Minister Dobroborsky. If mishandled, the two countries could erupt into full-scale war.
Against this backdrop, without the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, Poland did not even have the strength to fight a single battle. It could be said that the Tsarist Government did the Prussians a huge favor, forcing the Polish Government to make compromises.
But was the matter that simple? The Tsar was not foolish; why would they help their enemy without sufficient benefits?
While the Polish Government remained in a state of confusion, Franz in faraway Vienna had already figured out the ins and outs of the situation. It was nothing more than a secret deal struck between Prussia and Russia to partition the Kingdom of Poland.
In the face of interests, there are no enemies. The Tsarist Government sought to recover lost lands, and the Prussians desired to expand their power, both setting their sights on the Polish.
