Kapitel 228: Chapter 192 European Continent Upheaval_2_2

"France cannot stop their encroachment on Poland, unless it forms an alliance with the country," Joseph mused. "On the surface, we can certainly go along with Russia's position, but in secret, we need to find ways to enhance Poland's resistance. However, this requires that we do not show our hand and need a 'white glove' to act on our behalf."

"White glove?"

"Oh, that refers to a nation that could handle Polish affairs for us, like the United States, or even the Ottoman Empire could be considered."

Talleyrand nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this. Both America and Russia were raw material exporting countries and were very far apart, without much mutual concern. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, was the sworn enemy of Russia and had always cooperated with Poland.

Joseph sighed lightly and said,

"Of course, what's most important is Poland itself. Given the current state of affairs within their country, I fear they might not be able to resist Russia for even a month."
