This time, more than a hundred Poles came, and in addition to Wibitsky, there was also a man named Dombrowski.

The Donbrowski was a tall fat man, and according to Wibitsky, he was originally a cavalry officer in the Polish army, who had been trained at the Dresden Cavalry Academy and served in the army of the Elector of Dresden. Later, he participated in the Polish uprising. And he performed prominently in the uprising and was trusted by everyone.

"However, it is useless, we still can't defeat the invaders of the Russian Puao. At a time when we were at a low ebb, I heard from my friend Vybitsky your theory of protracted resistance and guerrilla warfare. This gave me a lot of inspiration and made me find my way in despair all at once. The revolution in France and the independence of Poland were not two separate things, but mutually supportive and mutually fulfilling. Vibitsky mentioned that you have not only the most advanced weapons, but also the most advanced tactics and ideas. So, we came to you and hope to get your help. ”

As soon as they met, Dombrovsky held Joseph's hand tightly and said so. It was as if a long-lost party member had finally found an organization.

Joseph pulled his hand out of his hand and said, "Mr. Dombrowski, please sit down and drink a saliva first." As you said, the revolutionary cause of our French people is closely linked to the cause of the liberation of the whole of Europe. And I myself have always admired the courage of the Polish people to resist oppression; I would like to express my deep sympathy for the plight of the Polish people all along. ”

He watched as Dombrovsky sat down, and he himself sat down in the chair opposite.

"Mr. Dombrowski, if you have come to us for help, there are a few things that I need to make clear in advance. Well...... This may not sound a little good, but for the sake of the cause of Polish independence, I hope that you and your comrades will be able to listen to me. I know that there are comrades in your country who have unrealistic illusions about us, and they hope that we, France, will first defeat the main forces of Russia and Austria on the battlefield, and then Poland will take the opportunity to restore its independence. I have to say that if the revolutionaries in Poland had such hopes, the final result would have been very disappointing for you. ”

"Please go on." Dombrowsky Road.

"All three countries are very powerful countries. And France's enemies were more than a few. Our enemies also included the mighty Great Britain and Spain. In fact, we are already struggling to fight these enemies. The long war also put a huge burden on the French people. Therefore, from the beginning of this war, we in France have been looking forward to a peace of non-interference. Now, in fact, this desire for peace has become more and more urgent. Therefore, even if we defeat the enemy forces on the battlefield, as long as they propose peace to France, it will be very difficult for France to refuse this peace, and it will be difficult to attach too many conditions to this peace. Well...... I say that, do you see what I mean? ”

Dombrowski's face was pale, and he hesitated for a moment before replying: "You mean that the independence of Poland will not be included in the terms of peace for France and them." ”

"Yes, just as the revolution in France can only rely on the French people themselves; Poland's freedom and independence, in the final analysis, can only depend on the Polish people themselves. ”

"However, our enemies are simply too strong." Dombrovsky said.

"The strong and the weak can be transformed into each other. Wasn't Poland strong back then? Joseph asked rhetorically, "Wasn't Poland strong when it defeated the Teutonic Knights, captured the Russian Tsar, and crushed the Turkish army?" What would King Vladislav (who had inflicted heavy losses on the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Greenwald), King Zygmunt III (who had conquered Moscow and captured Tsar Vasily IV), and King Sobiesky (who had defeated the Turkish army of more than 200,000 troops under Vienna) known that their descendants would be afraid of the strength of the Teutons, Russians, and Austrians? ”

Dombrowski almost lowered his head between his legs.

"A weak person can become strong, as long as he works tirelessly. My friend, I can teach you all the ways in which a country can be strong, but we French cannot directly conjure up a strong Poland. An independent and powerful Poland can only rely on its own efforts. If Poland can only rely on external forces to restore its independence, then it will be re-divided at any time due to changes in the external environment. The local sword, the local soldier, is the only hope to charge into battle. It's not a nice sound, but I have no ill will towards Poland. I hope you understand that. ”

"You are right, Monsieur Bonaparte." Dombrowski looked up, "I know that only people who really care about you will point out your problems. After listening to what you have just said, I can be sure that you are indeed a person who really cares about Poland and is a true and trustworthy friend of the Polish people. I came to you precisely to learn the way of self-improvement. ”

"Good." Joseph said, "Speaking of this, I would like to ask you first of all a question, namely, how did Poland weaken, and where was the problem? ”

Dombrovsky wanted to say it directly: "It's all to blame on the damn traitors." But thinking about Joseph's question, he felt that although this was often propagated by them, it was not really the correct answer, and if he answered in this way, he was afraid that he would look down on Joseph, so he thought about it and said, "It is because we are too old-fashioned, clinging to some outdated traditions, and our people are too numb......"

"It's just appearances." Joseph shook his head, "The reason why the nobles of your country are so conservative is because they think it protects their interests. Just like before the revolution in our country, the aristocracy wanted nothing more than to put all the burden on the people, completely ignoring the interests of the people. This circumstance, in our country, led to a revolution; And in your country, because the nobility is too strong, the people can't get their lives, so the people can only be numb. After all, for the people, a country that never thinks about them cannot be considered a country for them.

But you look at Prussia. What has Prussia been since the Battle of Greenwald? But by the time of Frederick the Great, Prussia had risen rapidly to become one of the greatest powers in Europe. Why is that? ”

"Why is that?" Dombrowski followed suit.

"Because Frederick the Great turned his subjects into nationals!" Joseph replied, "Frederick the Great and his people shared the duties and the rights together. The people of Prussia felt that the state was not something that had nothing to do with their own interests, that they had a stake in it, so they were willing to fight after Frederick the Great for the sake of the country, because they felt that the country was their own.

In the same way, if you look at the confrontation between the French army and other countries today, if you have paid attention to this, you will surely see how important the skirmishers played in the French army. The mobile skirmishers are one of the most powerful means of defeating foreign intervention forces. But why can't our enemies, the Austrians, the Prussians, use skirmishers like this? ”

Saying this, Joseph stopped and looked at Dombrowski. Dombrovsky pondered, and after a while he said: "Because their army does not have the same morale as the French army, if they use a lot of skirmishers, who are left unattended, they will flee on the battlefield." ”

"So we French, are we naturally high morale? At the time of the Seven Years' War, did the French army have such morale? Joseph continued.

"Of course not, during the Seven Years' War, if the French army had the morale it has now, Prussia would have been razed to the ground long ago." Dombrowsky replied immediately.

"So where does the morale of today's French warriors come from?" Joseph asked, intently.

"Today's France...... I understand! Dombrovsky clenched his fists, "because today's French warriors believe that France is theirs, that the country and them are one, that they are not just fighting for the country, but also for themselves!" If Poland wants to be a strong state, it should first of all be a country that cares about the interests of its own people. ”

"That's right! Now that Poland has fallen, you must fight the invaders in the occupied areas, and you must pay more attention to this, that is, you are fighting at all times to defend the interests of the people. This people were not only nobles, but also commoners, even serfs. Well, I heard that in your country, there is still serfdom, right? Well, the reason why the Russians occupied Poland was by no means to go to Poland to do charity, but to be able to exploit her and oppress her. So they will definitely infringe on the interests of the people. This is determined by their aggressive nature, and it cannot be changed, and this is your chance to win the people. ”

"But, Monsieur Bonaparte." Dombrowski looked embarrassed, "The invaders are indeed oppressing the Polish people, but ...... But the extent to which they oppress the people ......"

"Hell yes!" Joseph said, "Mr. Dombrovsky, do you want to say that the aggressors are not as oppressing the people as the nobles of your country used to be of the people? ”

"Monsieur Bonaparte...... You...... You're right, this is it...... This look...... "Dombrovsky was eager to find a crack in the ground and get into."
