Anne's intentions were clear to Dubcek, but he didn't care, because he felt that the future was long and ...... It was a woman who was difficult to get hold of that made him even more interested.

Ernst was not idle in his busyness, the Soviet Union had already gotten what he wanted, and although the Czech Duchy had also reached a four-nation joint issuance of euros, this was not enough, far from enough, for Ernst, what he wanted was Poland, a complete Poland and the Kingdom of Lithuania.

In the face of the greed of the Kingdom of Lithuania, the Polish government naturally saw it clearly, and they naturally did not want to sit back and wait to be merged, after all, not everyone wanted to be subservient. Arturas was able to sit in his prime minister's position after Ernst was crowned king of the Kingdom of Lithuania, which did not mean that the Polish president at this time could become the prime minister in the future.

A cabinet member plus a minister who is not very important? The Polish president felt that this should be the position given by the Kingdom of Lithuania, but of course this was only a conjecture, after all, the Kingdom of Lithuania had not arranged any diplomatic officials to negotiate and contact with him.

I didn't prepare for it, I really carried it! If the conditions you give are sufficient, then we are not unable to surrender, after all, now Eastern Europe is basically under the rule of the Habsburgs, and there is no need to touch the stone with an egg! However, his thoughts were only ideas, and Ernst had already decided to annex Poland to the Kingdom of Lithuania by force.

Cause? The reason is actually very simple, the current Poland already has its own factions, if it does not use force but only peace negotiations, then it needs to pay a lot of things, not to mention that the future is easy to leave hidden dangers. The Kingdom of Lithuania was different, and from the very beginning Ernst had considerable influence here.

To put it simply, one is to obey and the other is not to obey, and only by using force to completely make them afraid of Ernst can it be regarded as a real rule of Poland. Otherwise, there will be a lot of restrictions in the future, after all, you can't easily deal with those guys who are secretly wreaking havoc on you! At least you need to come up with proof.

Assassinate? Assassination is a good idea, of course, but you can't rely on assassination all the time! Once or twice, it is estimated that Ernst's position as Czech Grand Duke will not be stable, and someone may portray him as a tyrant in the future! In fact, Ernst did not have to worry about this, because in the eyes of many people he is now a tyrant.

The use of force to annex Poland. Then the power of Poland was naturally swept away with the war, and what Ernst got was a completely obedient Poland, and even some angry young people would be driven out of the country. An uncontrolled Poland is better than not, and this is what Ernst has always thought.

As a monarch, you have to be decisive a lot of the time, and it is not a good thing to have too much territory, especially if it is invaded at will, at least you need to have influence in the local area and be able to ensure that it will not affect you too much. This was clear to East Asia a millennium ago, and many things provide a prime example. In fact, a country is like a sculpture, which needs to be carefully polished and slowly wiped. Because this is the only way to be able to carve a good work.

The 50,000 Royal Army on the border terrified Poland's 100,000 Army, and they were also experienced in a hundred battles, but in the face of countless air forces, tanks, and the Royal Lithuanian Army that could cover the enemy with dense firepower, not to mention anything else, just looking at the equipment gap between the two sides was enough to make them want to choose to give up the battle.

Friedrich, Lieutenant General of the Kingdom of Lithuania and Commander of the First Army of the Royal Lithuania. In fact, he was also the only army commander, because there was only one army group in the entire Kingdom of Lithuania. To put it bluntly, he was actually the National Field Marshal, and the entire army of the Kingdom of Lithuania was in his hands.

The USSR has already begun to put Belarus and Ukraine in order. There is not a lot of time left for Friedrich now, because once the Soviet Union is put in order, then he will naturally influence the Kingdom of Lithuania to merge with Poland. Although the Soviet Union was in a state of mutual benefit with the Czech principalities. But they are also unashamed enemies.

The Czech Duchy would not let the Soviet Union fall and even make it strong if necessary, and at the same time the Soviet Union did not want to irritate the nerves of Britain, the United States and France too much, but he also needed to weaken the Czech Duchy all the time. Because both sides are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the other.

Royal Palace on the western outskirts of Vilnius:

Ernst, with his hat and a coat, sat calmly by the river fishing, I don't know when he started to like this sport, maybe he thought it could increase his patience!

"Your Majesty."

There was a soft shout from the guard. The interruption of his calm mood made Ernst frown slightly, but he knew that if it was not a big event, then the other party would never bother him. Put down the fishing rod and Ernst stood up and stretched, after all, he had been sitting for more than 2 hours, and even Ernst's body was a little uncomfortable.

"Prime Minister Stennis's stuff has been delivered here, do you want to ......"

The glint in his eyes flashed. Ernst tried to calm his excitement and anticipation, and stood up and let the guards lead the way. Why are you so excited? I'm sure anyone who knows about that thing will probably be so, because Russian Prime Minister Stenis. Gross sent the treasure of the Orient that caused Russia's war with Japan, the heirloom jade seal.

Although the war between the two countries actually has no real relationship with the jade seal of the same country, its introductory role is also undoubted, and Ernst did not expect that he would really get this thing by himself.

Antiques placed in Britain have long been shipped back to the Czech principality, and the current treasure of the Royal Museum in Prague is the shocking Qingming Riverside picture. The Vilnius Royal Museum is now in the works, and while there are a lot of good things in it, it's also lacking in a treasure, but don't worry about it now......

Ernst likes these things very much, ink calligraphy and painting, bronze tripods, Jun kiln porcelain, ancient jade, etc., the two museums are not only Ernst's show-off, but also conducive to the stability of the country, at this time people have just come from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many of them know what is called the jade seal, now this thing is in their own hands, "legitimacy" naturally has increased to a certain extent. Of course, these need to be publicized by the media, and it is easier to gain the allegiance of Chinese Americans on the original basis.

In fact, Ernst's two museums now have not only these antiques from Asia, but also some representative things. For example, Napoleon's crown, Julius Caesar's sword, the armor of the Knights of the Twelve Round Table, the scepter of the first pope, and so on...... Of course, most of these things have not yet been found by Ernst, but everything is within the scope of his collection, and I believe that if you work hard, you will gather a little sooner or later.

When I came to the study, there were already several Chinese antique experts waiting here, and they were much more excited than Ernst, after all, this is a legendary thing!

An ordinary wooden box, of course, just looks ordinary, and the contents of the wooden box are not worth a few hundred euros for the time being. It doesn't look amazing, but in fact, the material is extraordinary, and you can smell the reassuring fragrance when you smell it carefully.

When the wooden box was opened, the golden silk wrapped something about four inches in circumference, and it was needless to say that Ernst had opened the silk. The five dragons are entangled, the white jade is rare, but at that glance Ernst was deeply fascinated by this little thing, and whether it was true or not, Ernst decided to treasure it.

The two Chinese antiques had already come to the front without urging, and Ernst also knew their excitement at this time, so he directly moved out of the way for them to appraise. Putting on gloves and watching an old man in his 60s pick up the jade seal, the first thing Ernst saw was the eight seals of the seal face ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang.

The jade seal represents the imperial power, although the East has now been reformed, but such a statement has always existed in the hearts of some old people, and the Czech principality and the Kingdom of Lithuania, Ernst only needs a little guidance to win the hearts and minds of the Chinese.

Waiting is always frustrating, but Ernst is not in a hurry, because whether it is true or not, Ernst's purpose can be achieved, because who would dare to argue that something is true? The thing is dead, and all Ernst wants is the meaning it contains, and he didn't do it before just to worry about the Beiyang government.

Now that the thing was given to the Russian Empire by the Beiyang government, he estimated that he would admit the authenticity of the thing as soon as possible, and even if it was fake, the Beiyang government would insist that it was true.

As time passed, the faces of the two connoisseurs also showed an impatient mood, they had never seen the heirloom jade seal, the only thing they could borrow was their own historical knowledge and appraisal experience, but no matter whether the jade seal in front of him was real or fake, his superb skills and materials were beyond doubt, almost to the extent that it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"This should be something from the Qin and Han dynasties."

The appraiser's first sentence was uncertainty, in fact, he also felt some of Ernst's meaning, he was actually 80% sure that this thing was fake, but where did he dare to speak? The word should be just a retreat for himself, after all, he still needs to support himself with the ability of identification.

"This seems to be the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty......"

"Ahem, there is no doubt that it is the Qin and Han dynasties!"

The friend's words made the appraiser, who wanted to give him a way out, unable to hold back any longer, and answered directly to Ernst in the most certain spoken language. His friend was puzzled, but Ernst understood, and although he was a little disappointed, most of Ernst's energy was still on the appraiser, a smart man. (To be continued.) )
