"Shameless, what do the Prussians and Austrians want to do, how dare they threaten me, why do they demand benefits in Poland, do they think that the great Russian Empire can help them!"
Kadeshkov's urgent message quickly returned to St.
Petersburg, and there is no doubt that this urgent letter caused Catherine II a great irritation, and the enraged empress even changed her usual image and executed several unfavorable attendants on the same day.
Of course, the empress's anger also spread throughout St.
Petersburg for the first time, and people do not know the reason for the empress's anger, but everyone knows that the empress must not let herself look unpleasant now, otherwise it is likely to become the empress's punching bag.
The Empress was angry for a reason, and this Kadeshkev letter not only stated to the Empress the undercurrents in Vienna, but also told the Empress that Puo had reached a consensus to wrestle with the Russian Empire over Poland.
Kaunitz suggested to the Russian ambassador that, if necessary, Austria would work together to propose to Russia the partition of Poland, as had been done in 1772, and that if Russia did not agree, Austria and Prussia would maintain stability and prosperity throughout Eastern Europe in their own way.
This is what made Catherine II the most angry, in her opinion, Poland was already Russia's backyard, and there was no room for other countries to interfere, and now Puo actually demanded the same balance of interests as in 1772, which made the empress embarrassed.
If only one of the Austrian countries demanded such a request from Russia, the empress would not even raise her eyelids and refuse.
But now Puo is actually tied up to threaten the Russians, which makes the empress angry and palpitated.
Although Catherine II believed that the two countries would not unite sincerely, it turned out that at least on the Polish issue Austro-Prussia was on their side.
The latest news from Poland has not yet reached St.
Petersburg, but it has forced Potemkin to ask St.
Petersburg for reinforcements, which shows how bad the situation in Poland is.
The empress had the heart to refuse, but now that Potemkin was trapped in Poland, if Puo took the opportunity to shoot Russia.
It's not fatal, but it's enough to make the Russians suffer a big loss.
What made the Empress even more angry was the attitude of Prussia, a peace agreement had just been reached not long ago, and now it was good to see that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and immediately pounced again, which was simply shameless to the extreme.
After thinking about it for three days, the Empress made a decision that Russia could allow Puo to put his hand into Poland, but Puo wanted to gain benefits in Poland.
Then it would be necessary for Austro-Prussia to stabilize the situation in Poland, if Austro-Prussia did not send troops to stabilize Poland.
Then Russia will not allow the country that it has beaten down to be handed over to others.
The decision of St.
Petersburg soon reached Vienna and Potsdam, and Wilhelm had no opinion on Catherine II's proposal, but was a little surprised that Catherine II agreed to equal benefits so easily.
But in any case, this is not bad for Prussia, and it is in Prussia's interests to completely divide Poland, but it is foreseeable that if the three countries really divide Poland completely, then it may not be long after.
The contradictions between the three kingdoms will be highlighted, which makes William happy but also a little worried. ...............................
Potemkin rode into Warsaw, and on both sides of the street were a group of nobles from the city of Warsaw, who had been waiting for a long time "Chirdos, you have done a good job, I will report your achievements to St.
Petersburg truthfully, and I believe that Her Majesty will not be stingy with your reward."
"How dare you take credit if it weren't for the prestige of Your Excellency the Marshal.
How can a tyrant like Auguste be eliminated with only a small amount of power?"
Chirdos on the side was naturally flattering in the face of Potemkin, and of course Childos's flattering words also made Potemkin have a good impression of him, after all, this Warsaw was captured by Childos.
In the crowd behind Potemkin.
The jealous Haén **v looked at Chirdos, who was originally a Polish under Potemkin, but now obviously with his contribution to Warsaw, Childos is also on Potemkin's heart, which makes Hahn**, who aspires to be the first Polish lackey under Potemkin, not jealous.
When the group reached the Polish palace in Warsaw, Potemkin stopped There was still the color of blood on the steps of the palace, and although it had been carefully cleaned, the strong smell of blood really could not be concealed.
Potemkin sighed, although the pacification of Poland this time was not too smooth, but fortunately, now Warsaw is under control, and some local resistance forces are not in Potemkin's eyes.
"Okay, everyone, now that Warsaw has been handed over peacefully, and the whole of Poland can be said to be roughly pacified, although there may be some local defense forces, but they can no longer stop the iron hooves of our Russian army, so I congratulate you here" "Congratulations to Marshal Potemkin" Standing on the steps of the Polish royal palace and watching everyone surrender at the bottom of the steps, Potemkin's pride reached its peak at this moment.
Time rushed into February, and in this month, Potemkin received two uncomfortable news, one was that the Empress of St.
Petersburg had ordered him to pay attention to the maintenance of normal friendship relations between Prussia and Austria, and the other was that when the Russian army was fully recovering Poland, he found that some areas had been taken by Prussia and Austria.
This made Potemkin feel angry and a little wrong at the same time, Puo would not be so coincidental to come to Poland at the same time to grab the cheap, so there must be a conspiracy in it, coupled with the order given by the empress to Potemkin, Potemkin had a hint of understanding.
In March, the envoys of Austria and Russia reached a preliminary agreement to divide the northern and northwestern parts of Poland to Prussia.
The western part of Poland was transferred to Austria, and the remaining Polish regions were to be placed under Russian administration.
A military buffer zone was set up near Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and the forces of the three countries were not allowed to enter Warsaw, and Warsaw was established as a free city to be administered by the Warsaw aristocracy.
This condition is already the biggest concession of Catherine II, of course, from the perspective of the territory divided by the three countries, Russia is undoubtedly the largest piece of the cake, but don't forget, Russia has lost forty or fifty thousand men and horses in Poland before and after, and it still has to give Russia some compensation.
William frowned a little when he held the partition plan in his hand, in the original history, in 1795, when Warsaw was divided into Prussia for the third time, Warsaw was under the command of Prussia, but William also knew that the current situation was completely different from history, Catherine II did this point It can be said that it was very sincere, and Prussia and Austria did not really make up their minds to turn against Russia on the Polish issue, after all, the relationship between the two countries is at a level of hostility.
William was willing to accept this condition, and Austria was naturally even more so, Joseph II saw this division plan, his hands began to shake a little, originally Joseph II just wanted to return to the Austrian Poland occupied by the Russians, but now this division plan Ossley not only included the Austrian Poland region but also pushed the border to only a hundred miles from Warsaw, which made Joseph II how could he not be happy.
Some people were happy but others were not satisfied, for example, Kaunitz was a little dissatisfied, and in his opinion the division plan was really unfair to Austria, which not only did not get as much territory as the Russians, but even Prussia got a lot more than Austria.
But Kautz was also helpless, after all, the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War and the losses suffered by Russia at the hands of Prussia made Russia pay more attention to Prussia, so it was normal to give more to Prussia, and Russia needed to appease this militarily strong country.

Austria, on the other hand, may seem to be a vast country, but the various territories of the Habsburgs are not so harmonious, just like Hungary and Austria.
Since the monarchs of the three countries had no opinion, this agreement was naturally accepted by everyone, and soon the free city of Warsaw appeared, and the three countries of Austria and Russia also sent men to take over their respective territories.
Given the new territory and implying the need to send troops to garrison it, Wilhelm moved all of the West Prussian garrison to northern Poland, which was naturally occupied by the Silesian garrison.
The news that Poland was partitioned for the third time shocked the whole world, and the entire European continent is paying attention to the development of this matter, as a powerful country in the European continent, although it is now lonely, but Poland also has an army of sixty or seventy thousand, although its comprehensive strength is not first-class now, but the second-rate can still be ranked.
Poland's fate has left many countries feeling sorry and even terrified.
The Queen Mother of Denmark behaved very abnormally after learning the news of the partition of Poland, she did not expect that Prussia had just experienced a war and pointed the butcher's knife at other countries so quickly, sure enough, a strong country is equal to a robber, maybe sometimes the robbers will meet each other because of the uneven distribution of spoils, but once the weak guy wants to make his voice heard among the robbers, then the only end is to be killed by the bandits united.
If Prussia was willing to cede some of its benefits in exchange for Russia no longer supporting Denmark, the Queen Mother would not dare to think any further.
This was true not only of Denmark, but also of many of the smaller princes of the Holy Roman Empire, and the fact that Pu and Austria were so unanimous on the Polish issue that they felt a lot of pressure, and this kind of great power politics was very frightening to them.
