Chapter 261: Chips

```

No matter how much scheming there is, wars must still be decided on the battlefield. As diplomatic games continued between Prussia and Russia, the battle of Lithuania also erupted.

At this time, Maoqi found himself in an awkward situation. Whether to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy in the Lithuanian region was a vexing question.

The Russian navy had been stagnant for more than a decade and was already behind the times. Yet this outdated fleet was still not something the miniature navy of the Prussian-Polish Federation could compare with.

Times had changed, and both sides had prepared for this war, with the Tsarist Government stockpiling a massive amount of strategic materials in St. Petersburg, enough to fight for a year and a half without any shortage of supplies.

Against this background, naval supremacy could be fully leveraged. Ivanov was now launching the Lithuanian campaign to take advantage of these factors.
