() When I got home at night, neither Alexander nor Cheap Daddy came back, which was very strange. What was even stranger was that Cheap Daddy told me not to fall asleep until he came back.

Wait left, wait right, wait.

Alexander did not come back until midnight. He gave me a little explanation of what happened when I went to the wife. A letter from the governor of the northern border of the empire, a total of fourteen cities in the Kingdom of Poland on the Black Coast, signed by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Poland

The drafted copy is now in the hands of Cheap Daddy.

"What's that copywriting?"

"A joint petition for allegiance to our Roman Empire. They want to join our empire as a new province as an imperial city!" Alexander said.

The Poles finally cried out to join the Reich?

I asked: "Or an autonomous city?"

"No more, those bastards." Alexander laughed.

It is not a slander that the remnants of Poland are cheap. When Poland was partitioned a few years ago, the remnants of the Kingdom of Poland in the lowlands of the Black Sea coast were spared because they were cheap and moved their troops to the northern border and the Austrian border. I originally wanted to annex them peacefully.

Unexpectedly, they rejected the empire's proposal for serfs. Then, the cheap daddy left them alone for several years.

"Caesar's attitude?"

"The attitude is not yet clear. Don't worry, cheap daddy has certainly seen their thoughts." Alexander saw me sighing in relief and said with a smile, "Those bastards are really nothing! Eyes actually want to let us do this by joining the empire.

Their barrier! Just pay a little protection fee every year!”

I nodded with deep understanding, those bastards should be beaten more hard by the Russians.

But not long after the Poles left, the Russians came!

The intention of these people is obvious. After the polar bears finally digested the territory after the Polish King's War and had a break from the truce with the Swedes, they couldn't help but want to take advantage of the more than 100,000 square kilometers of the Black Sea coast.

Should he agree to Poland's request, or work with the Russians to make the country worse?

This depends on what the cheap daddy plans to do.

Personally, now is not a good time to annex that land and turn it into an empire province.

The Russians have an armistice with Sweden, and the imperial army must leave the Carpathian Mountains. The area that needs to be defended has expanded from the Black Sea outlet of the Dniester River to more than 20 times, and will directly bear the pressure from Kiev and Kharkiv.

The Russian army is under pressure from all aspects. It is impossible to mobilize more than 50,000 troops, and the march will cost more than 10 million.

If we win, the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Poland can continue to survive and temporarily act as a buffer area between us and the Russians. In the future, the Russians will have to consider the power gap between them and the empire if they want to move south.

As for the issue of losing, the loss of a few ace legions is cheap enough to make me cry, and a defeat will make Rome, an old empire in the east, lose the confidence to speak in the face of France, an emerging force. As for the Black Sea coast

The remaining forces of the Kingdom of Poland, their situation is only better than the imperial army's conservative defense on the border.

Will Roma lose?

This is what I am a little worried about. The empire has not fought a big war for more than 20 years. Generals like the old guy are old and die. But in the Russian Kingdom, there is one big war every three years and one small war every year.

In a fight, they could be inseparable from the Swedish Kingdom, which was so powerful in the past that it dominated the entire Baltic Sea, and even had the upper hand. Their strength should not be underestimated.

So what can we expect from the Poles?

Just in the past during the Polish King's War, we warned the Russians that the Russians, who were fighting fiercely with the Swedes, stopped in Kiev.

A large number of Poles poured into the empire due to the war, providing the empire with cheaper labor and beautiful prostitutes. Due to the impact of a large number of Polish girls, the entertainment service industry of the empire dropped from the cost of ten ass for one bite to

Sanas, it only costs one dinar to find a beautiful Polish girl.

If they claim that land, the imperial nobles who own a large number of estates in the Danube Plain will probably open their perfume raw material estates there. That land can also be used as the entrance to a shelter to absorb more Polish immigrants and monopolize it.

All the outlets of the Black Sea block the Russians from the Mediterranean trade circle. The benefits are indeed many.

On September 29th, after several days of contact, Cheap Daddy will meet with Russia at the Imperial Palace to see what tricks they can play.

During this period, I used my privilege to find a compensation form for the demolition of Dione's shop from the Administrative Court, and then went to the wife's house again.

In fact, my idea is not complicated. Anyway, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are herded. Since the French are so ruthless, I will not show mercy! While the news of the demolition of Dione Street is spreading everywhere, I want to

Real estate bought cheaply from all the French businessmen near that street! One and a half million, plus our money to build the army, adds up to nearly three million. If successful, this fund will be used next year

Will become more!

Without blushing or heartbeat, I mentioned to her the money invoice from the Sea Piaohong Chamber of Commerce worth 1.5 million solidos.

I then discussed with Alexander, Maurice, and Valens, and asked for their allowance for this month, plus all the previous funds, to get a total of more than 2,894,000 solidus. Of course, with so much money,

It is impossible to take them all with you, go to the bank to get a certificate, and then get into a disguise the next day and get into a carriage to go near the university area. French clothing stores, perfume shops, coffee houses, teahouses, all shops opened by French people are there.

Give me a tour!

I made an appointment with the sellers to do the transaction. Four days later, I went out to conduct the transaction. Within a few minutes, I spent all my money, but got more than a dozen property certificates. Before I walked in, I was a property owner.

Wan Guan, I came out with a breath of fresh air. After looking at the evil bank, I got into the carriage going home. In the eyes of others, they stopped losing money, but in my case it was

I made a profit. I used more than 2,774,000 solidos to buy 15 properties with a total value of more than 3,640,000! If these properties can be sold successfully, I will deduct 10% of the property for my wife.

1.5 million and our capital of 1.4 million, then we will make a profit of 740,000 solidus. If this money is used sparingly, Alexander can use it to reform the army in the future.

I just got home and was about to have someone deliver a box for me to put away these real estate documents when an ecstatic voice made me almost bite my tongue.

"War has been declared!!!"

I frowned, turned around, listened to the voice, and saw that it was Alexander.

"Finally there's a fight to be fought!"

The attendant wisely took the first step.

Alexander came up from behind and told everything that happened in the Grand Palace today.

The Russians brought with them a letter from the King of Poland, demanding that we terminate all commercial dealings with the rebellious Kingdom of Poland. If we do not comply with the request, they will impose sanctions on the empire.

"This is arrogant!" The Russians are obviously looking for trouble. They actually want to sanction the empire. What a joke.

Alexander said disdainfully: "Isn't it? In the Grand Palace, both sides soon started to jeer at each other."

"Then the Russians got angry and declared war on us?" I was confused. This was obviously a test, so why did they start a fight?

"Of course the Russian envoy does not have this ability, but our father does."

It was our father Caesar who declared war on the Russians. He presented a treaty with the remaining Polish forces in the lowlands on the Black Sea coast, protected by the empire. That enclave, which was nominally subordinate to the kingdom, declared its independence from the Kingdom of Poland, and since then joined the Roman Empire and became the Empire

inviolable territory, and demanded that the Russians return the city of Kiev. These two demands immediately blocked the Russians' retreat, leaving no room for negotiation.

What was originally just a test of the empire's attitude turned into a declaration of war.

What a surprise!

The entire empire was caught off guard!

The Russians were also caught off guard!

However, the war between the empire and the Russians is inevitable. Whether it is the Turkish Ottomans in the previous life or the current Rome, because it is located in Constantinople and holds on to Russia's southward expansion, it will directly face the rising power of the Russian Empire.

The Russian frontier.

As soon as the declaration of war came out, the reaction from all walks of life was basically the same, that is, their enthusiasm for participating in the war was very high!

The Polish leader Shuidong Yin's attempt to join the empire was very embarrassing for the people of the empire. Secondly, war means that the empire will expand its army. Many young people who are unwilling to be lonely and not smart enough to make a fortune can only make a career by joining the army.

Obtaining military merit. This is the same for soldiers. Fighting in war means military merit, and military merit means leading to noble title, wealth, and getting ahead!

The mood of ordinary businessmen is more complicated. War will destroy peace. Without peace, there can be no trade, so the empire wants to declare war on the Russians. However, the Russians allow the Cossacks to gallop on the Polish plains. The merchants of the empire are often harassed. If a war can disperse those

Guys are also a good choice. So they are a little worried about gains and losses, but their attitude is still inclined to support this war.

The arms dealers and industry oligarchs are actually the aristocrats of the empire. They are the most enthusiastic about war!

No one in the Carpathian Mountains has an acre of manor growing perfumes and spices. Russia's expansion to the south will first threaten their interests. Since the Mongols' westward expedition and the retreat of the sea, the Lower Danube Plain has become the territory of the empire.

.One hundred years after the conquest, the Lower Danube Plain, the territory of the former Kingdom of Bulgaria, had a new name, the empire’s cash cow. This vast piece of soil was divided into two parts by the Danube River, with the northern part

The raw materials for high-yield perfumes are perfume processing factories in the south. Various beautiful petals are turned into perfumes here and flowed to European countries, and then turned into money and flowed back to the empire. Secondly, the empire will expand its territory northward. If it succeeds, more land

They will be able to purchase raw materials to expand their workshops and increase their wealth. Finally, what everyone in the empire cares about most is military merit! Only military merit is the capital for ordinary small and medium-sized nobles to squeeze into Constantinople!

The disadvantage of sending troops is also obvious.

The policy of cheap father's cultivation and raising interest is destroyed. There are more than 100,000 square kilometers of low -area area along the Black Sea.

The Black Sea of ​​the Stel River expanded to the entire Bordeaux heights and the Dieber River highlands. The mobilization army of this war is not more than 50,000 or more, and the margin will cost more than 10 million.

Take the initiative to attack the Black Sea coast and lowlands, let the empire's army work with the Russian troops in the lowlands of the Black Sea coast. Use a real fierce collision to deter the Xiaoxiao.

The prestige of the Fano family has increased.

As for the problem of losing. Since you can have huge benefits, you lose, and the price you pay is quite large.

It can make our Facno's face damaged. You know, we are not well -known now. Over the years, we will not be in order to keep our Siore Funno's dominant position in the empire.

The failure of the war is the same for the empire. It is the same for the Seafano family. If anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to sweep the prestigious sweeping floor in the Solo Funno family ...

Then, then
Chapter completed!
