Prince Poniatowski hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"I am too familiar with the Russians' tricks," Kosciuszko said with a vigorous wave, causing the medal on his chest to shake, "They are likely assembling their army domestically now.
"Once they're prepared, they will take advantage of the chaos in our eastern provinces to launch an invasion, just like they did years ago."
Ignacy Potocki immediately, with a face full of anger, asked, "What do you suggest we do?"
Kosciuszko looked at his old comrade, "Your Highness the Regent, I suggest we immediately reinforce the line from Mozhili to Minsk. We must ensure at least 70,000 troops to defend the eastern front.
"At the same time, conduct a thorough investigation within the Great Sejm to identify those who still harbor illusions about Russia. Their existence only weakens the resolve of our citizens!"
A few days later, the Polish Great Sejm overwhelmingly rejected the proposal to restore diplomatic relations with Russia.
