von Hötzendorf smiled as he approached the Polish head of state "A please Herr Piłsudski. And indeed it is time we settle this Bolshevik question. Howe do you wish to proceed already I have 10,000 members of the Heimwehr at my disposal to coordinate with your own troops should you choose to act against the communists." he added as he shook the other mans hand. "This is my new chief of staff Colonel Emil Fey veteran of the imperial army." von Hötzendorf added introducing the other man as well. "Sir!" a Austrian officer rushed in. "What is so important you," "Sir Chancellor Dollfuss is dead sir!"Hötzendorf was shocked as the man stated those words. "Impossible!" he cried. "Thats not all sir intelligence links the attacks to the communists. And sir Operation Savoy is ready." the elder amn then turned away. The Polish meanwhile seemed shocked as well. "What does command say?" he asked "Simply sir be ready." with that the amn saluted and stepped out of the room. Leaving the Polish and Austrians to stew.
Piłsudski was surprised by the sudden news of the Chancellor's death at the hands of the communists. It seemed that the Bolsheviks were dead set on going after the entire world. "Herr von Hötzendorf, this matter needs to be discussed quickly. The red bastards are killing everyone, and we could be next. What's more, we're having to deal with Soviet uprisings in the east, not to mention the sleeper cells they've planted as far from the north-west as here. This threat to independence, to all men's independence... it must be stopped." He then walked off to the meeting room, expecting von Hötzendorf and Fey to follow.
"You will have to come quickly," Piłsudski said, "these days there never seems to be much time."

Famous composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski, perhaps best known for his 75 minute symphony Polonia, has been elected as President of the Ministers of the Republic of Poland, as announced by Chief of State Józef Piłsudski after the votes, including those from the black box of Cieszyn, had been counted. Moraczewski has earned an honorary position of senator in the Sejm for his efforts to create the Wolne Państwo Gdańsk.
