Let the whole world go to war,

so long as the Polish village is peaceful,

so long as the Polish village is peaceful. - Excerpt from Stanisław Wyspiański's Wesele (The Wedding).

The Empire of Parpaldia
Meeting hall of the Imperial Palace
5 December 1639 C.C.Y./ 1974 P.C

News of the defeat reached Parpaldia quickly, only a day after the first day of battle. As the Parpaldian Army was bleeding out on the second line of fortifications, the rulers thought the sailors' stories were the tales of mentally ill people. Unfortunately for them, they were only partly right, because the sailors were mentally ill after what they saw, but what they saw was the truth.

What finally convinced them that the survivors were telling the truth was the bombing raid by Polish bombers which hit the capital and a few other coastal cities like Duro, in addition to that they bombed a few other places like land dragon breeding grounds.

The Polish air force hit their fleets hard, sinking half of the Third Fleet in the harbor and a quarter of the First and Second Fleets. The Fourth Fleet had already been massacred in the failed invasion of Altaras.

After that it only got worse, their planes were completely out of range of their air force, only once and with a lot of luck did their wiverns manage to get into the air. Unfortunately, they ran into Polish Lim6-bis which mercilessly shot them down in the air. The anti-aircraft defense of their country was useless, the cannons had too little firepower and too little speed to hit even the Polish IL-28s.

The destruction left by the bombers was a painful blow to the robbery-based economy of Parpaldia. Duro was hit especially hard and was bombed with napalm by the Polish Air Force. Everything wooden in the city was burned, even though the Poles concentrated exclusively on the factories and shipyards of the city, avoiding the bombing of civilians, who were to be "liberated".

Polish air command was unpleasantly surprised by the low efficiency of the Duro fire department. Japan sent a note of protest to Poland for the use of napalm, of course the communist state diplomatically replied that Japan could shove its complaints up its ass. They politely informed that it was aimed only at military facilities and that the People's Republic of Poland had not signed any agreement on the use of napalm, given that it had been moved before it came into being.

Of course there were anti-militarist and pacifist protests in front of the Polish Embassy in Japan, but Poland didn't care. In the Japanese media there was a government order not to publicize the issue too much. Of course nobody knew about it in communist Poland. The only thing the nation got was information about effective strike of Polish bombers on military targets.

Of course, this strike achieved its side goal which was to sow fear in the hearts of the government of Parpaldia. In turn on terrains conquered by Parpaldia, the scale of destruction incurred by it caused euphoria on streets, forces of order in these areas unsuccessfully tried to bring there order. In some places, there were even all-day battles between residents and soldiers.

Of course, this strike accomplished its side goal which was to sow fear in hearts of the government of Parpaldia. In turn on terrains conquered by Parpaldia the scale of destruction that it inflicted caused euphoria on streets, forces of order in these areas tried unsuccessfully to bring there order. There were even days-long battles between residents and soldiers in some places.

The emperor hearing what was happening ordered a quick war council in the council hall. The look of those gathered in the hall said one thing, everyone experienced a strong mental shake, and one of the ministers experienced a heart attack upon hearing what had happened. Each of them could not believe the scale of the devastation that followed the raid.

They were tense and sullen as they listened to the full report on the December 1 raid, which quickly became known as Fiery Thursday. The person who read it stammered and interrupted, but only the cold stare of the emperor made him finish reading the gruesome report.

"That's all, Your Majesty," said the man in his suit, who was the official appointed to write the preliminary report. You could see him sweating and his eyes choked in a face full of horror. The emperor quickly raised his hand and wordlessly dismissed him. The official quickly left the room as if he was afraid something would happen to him if he stood in the room any longer.

A gloomy silence fell as he left the room. Everyone looked at the others without having the words to say about what had happened. -We have awakened the angry eagle‖ Kyos broke the silence, referring to the emblem of Poland which he had seen on documents when the Poles unsuccessfully tried to establish diplomatic relations with them. Of course he had also seen it on the official note of declaration of war which the Poles delivered when the war broke out.

He thought then a little funny, now it looked to him frightening and the name of People's Republic of Poland stopped being funny and became what in minds of Polish communists it was supposed to be. A symbol of revenge of the common working people.

"Simply put" said Arde, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Parpaldia. The further conversation was interrupted by the raised hand of Emperor Ludius who then started his monologue.

"You have heard what has happened. Some of you had an opportunity like me to see the effects of Polish attack. I can't say that I was impressed by those boys, the parverii" said Ludius not realizing that for example the Polish Minister of National Defence Wojciech Jaruzelski was of noble origin and not only him.

"It doesn't mean that we'll ever surrender to them." He said in a proud but thoughtful tone. There was a rumbling silence in the room

He added in a louder tone "They may have their planes and chasers, but no one has defeated the Parpaldian territory yet! Our greatest strength is our numbers and our terrain! Even when we were just a simple little Republic we were unconquerable. Now we are a superpower!" He paused for a moment allowing the person gathered to digest what he had said. For a moment it seemed to echo around the room with his words.

"That's why I expect you to prepare our country for a total war, which Poland can't afford!" He said the first part of the sentence a little quieter, but emphasized the second so that it struck fear into everyone's hearts.

Unfortunately for the Emperor, he did not know three things. The first one is obvious, namely Poland, in spite of much smaller population, can afford a total war more than Parpaldia, after all since its creation it was built only for this purpose. The second thing is the military tradition of Poland which more than once conquered what others never did such as Moscow in 1612. The third thing is the Poles themselves who, according to an old joke, if someone says that a Pole cannot do something, he will go and do it.

Then the Emperor turned to Arde "How are our armed forces?" Arde quickly nodded his head and said "Your Grace, our army except the one lost in Altaras has avoided major losses, in addition we have enough reserves to be able to fight a total war even with quite large losses" the Emperor squinted his eyes "How large?"

Arde looked for a document in his briefcase and pulled it out "We have over one and a half million soldiers in service and our reserves are estimated at around four million, in case of trouble we can still recruit another million but they will be poorly trained and of doubtful motivation."

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction "And our Fleet?" Arde swallowed his saliva "Our Fleet Your Highness, is not fit to fight." The Emperor looked coldly and asked in the same tone "Explain!"

Arde nervously took out another document and handed it to Emperor Ludius. He then began to speak "As your majesty can see, the Fleet has become totally demoralized as a result of the stories of the surviving sailors from the Fourth Fleet." He paused for a moment to think about what he should say next so as not to anger the emperor with his request.

"In addition, I want to ask for mercy for them because if their information is true it means that our fleet can only win as a result of luck and huge numbers. Furthermore I ask for permission to disperse our ships to minor ports, this will reduce the chances of destroying the entire Fleet in one hit as the last raid showed." He said after a moment, clearly asking but not bringing shame in his tone. He made it clear that he was doing this to give even a shadow of a chance of victory over their enemy.

The Emperor listened and read the report, when he finished he sat in silence for a moment thinking about it. Arde was beginning to get deeply worried because of it. The nervous silence was broken by the Emperor's light laughter "Don't be afraid Commander-in-Chief"

And then he added more seriously "After a long consideration I agree with your argument, it is necessary to disperse the fleet to avoid completely sinking it, but I want them to be ready to strike with the whole of our Navy against the enemy invasion force. If what they wrote in the report is true it means that they have very few Polish ships and we may be able to successfully remove the threat from them if we get rid of them."

Arde nodded with inward relief "Yes it is your love and thank you for your grace" And in his spirit he added to himself that this plan though it might work would cost them a great deal whether it succeeded or not. Of course the Emperor's will is law and he does not intend to oppose it.

The Emperor then turned to the Director of Finance Decimus. "How is the financial situation?"

Decimus looking nervously at the documents answered -Your Imperial Majesty, the destruction of Duro was a huge blow to the economy of our country and reduced our arms production by about 23-29% fortunately we did not focus exclusively on this city according to your requests and we have moved and built other cities in the interior of the continent which act as centers of armament."

Then he put the document down on the table after which he put his elbows on the table and grabbed his hands and with a somewhat secretive look behind his glasses said.
"I won't hide, it is only thanks to your perspicacity that we were able to avoid the darkest scenario in which a blow on Duro would have allowed us to overpower our economy."

The Emperor nodded at this. It was his idea which he had suggested to his father and after his father's death he had pursued with even greater insistence. As he himself stated, it is foolish to concentrate all production for the army in one place. No other Superpower in the world does this. Why should they do otherwise? Not even the barbarian kingdoms did it!

Decimus continued "Unfortunately this process of dispersal of war production was less focused on the shipyards, it was to be taken care of from next year and the losses our fleet will suffer will be much harder to make up for."

So what we lose we won't get back within the next decade. Arde thought to himself with concern.

The Emperor looked grimly and said "I understand Director, and how soon will we transition to a war economy?" Decimus looked at the Emperor then corrected his glasses and replied "I need between 2 and 5 months your love." Seeing the Emperor's questioning face "It depends on how the people will approach the situation and if the raids will be repeated. The worst-case scenario is five months, although I'm afraid it could be longer." The Emperor nodded in understanding.

Then he turned to his spy master Julius "Any new information Julius?" Julius sadly shook his head "None Your Highness, every agent I sent to Poland disappeared without a trace, the only thing I can offer is gossip and second hand information usually from Japan or merchants. The whole country is said to be one big prison from which uninvited guests can not go out or enter." The Emperor was a bit touched by this news, a country where you can not get in, the first time such a thing happened in history.

"I understand Master of Spies." The Emperor said and then turned to Elt the only woman in the group "Are the news about the cooperation between Poland and Mu true?" Elt nodded and replied "Yes your grace, but contrary to expectations Mu is the supported party and not the supporting one. Apparently Poland is going to sell them the plans of their planes."

All except Julis of course were taken aback. Mu is taking something from another country? That's bad news especially if they're going to sell them the plans for those fast planes that Poland has.

Of course, they didn't know that the Poles wanted to sell the plans of the planes, but old ones that were a big step forward for Mu, namely the PZL.24. They didn't want to do that with the jets, they didn't want to lose the advantage and Mu didn't want to jump ahead too much in order not to choke its armament with new but scarce equipment.

The Emperor didn't say anything but he knew it was a bad sign. Poland evidently possessed a greater force than had been assumed. Seeing the anxiety among them he began a short speech

"As we have heard Mu intends to cooperate with Poland. This is of course a sign that Poland is stronger than we thought. But even they are not able to defeat us. We are the third Superpower! A power with enormous numbers and our fighting spirit is greater than anyone on this earth! We will win over Poland at any cost!"

He waited a moment again for the echo of his words to reach everyone in the room.

"And we will finally bring peace to our area and enlighten the barbarians!" he spoke powerfully on and on, awakening dormant hope in his advisors.

Everyone, including the guards, shouted when Emperor Ludius finished "Long Live the Emperor!" None of them knew that in distant Poland is preparing a powerful army that has one goal. To destroy Parpaldia and install a people's government. At least on paper "people's power".

People's Republic of Poland
General Staff of the Polish Army
15 December 1974 P.C/ 1639 C.C.Y

Warsaw

Polish staff had been working at full steam for at least several months to create new defensive and attacking plans. Of course priority was given to the war with Parpaldia, which had been prepared for a long time. Or more precisely, from the moment when the country and its history were studied. It was quickly assumed that Parpaldia would probably be the closest war opponent, therefore the main focus was on preparations for a naval invasion.

Of course, the scale of the expected strike would be much larger than the one that was to take place in case of the outbreak of World War III. Therefore, in addition to the numerical adjustment of the Polish troops, i.e. changing numbers from 20 Armoured Division to 15 Division, in the absence of the USSR, which would fill this role, another landing division, the 16th Warmia Division, i.e. the closest equivalent of the Marines, the so-called Blue Berets, was being trained and formed.

Administrative matters aside, the initial outline of the plan was already in place. And the First Secretary Gierek was invited to the command room to see the plan of attack. Apart from him, there were also the Minister of National Defence, General Wojciech Jaruzelski and the Chief of Staff, Florian Siwicki. The latter presented the invasion plan to the First Secretary.

"As you can see, Comrade Secretary, the first axis of the land attack will be our two landing divisions, 7 Lusatian and 16 Warmian" said Siwicki to Gierek.

Then he showed on the map the places of attack "7 Lusatian will land here to the west of the enemy capital. And the 16th Warmian here to the east of it. Then they will secure the nearby port cities where three more mechanized divisions will land, that is 8 Dresdenska and 12 and 13" Gierek nodded that he understood.

Siwicki then showed the locations of the planned paratroopers' drop, the place where they were to strike was around the capital Parpaldia. -"A day before the landing, our soldiers from the 6th Pomeranian Airborne Division will set off from the airport in Altaras to cut off the land communication of the capital from the rest of the country. Their task will be to hold out until the arrival of the 8th Dresden which has the task of occupying the capital, then they will attack the city together."

Gierek nodded again. "I understand, Comrade General, but what about their fleet? What ships are we going to attack them with?" Here Siwicki looked at Gierek and said as if reciting from memory.
"Comrade Admiral Janczyszyn assured me that we will be able to introduce new helicopter carriers on time and at least one will be in the flotilla taking part in the invasion. Of course, we assume that by that time the air force will have destroyed completely or in significant numbers the enemy ships which, as we see, the enemy has hidden in various ports."

And hastily Jaruzelski added "As Comrade General Siwicki says, in the invasion will take part the 3rd Flotilla of Ships from Gdynia supported by landing elements from the 1st Flotilla, while the new helicopter will have its conversion completed by February. So a month before the planned invasion" Gierek nodded and then asked "What about the name for it? Was it finally agreed what she should be called?" he said, putting a pin in the Navy.

He was obviously referring to the problem with naming such a type of ship in the Polish Navy. Any fitting name was taken away by existing small ships like patrol boats and chasers. And the naming after a river or a city did not fit for such a ship; another thing was that these names were reserved for larger ships such as cruisers which were also to be built. Jaruzelski nodded -So Comrade Secretary, it was finally decided that helicopter gunships would be named after historical events. The first ship will be called ORP Hołd Pruski, her sister ORP Hołd Ruski and the biggest one ORP Konstytucja 3 Maja.

Gierek laughed when he heard the names "Those should appeal to common people, patriotic names and two of them are anti-Russian!" The generals looked at each other. They both knew the truth. Gierek was not fond of Brezhnev, even though he had put him here, and of course neither were they. Of course, officially they are friends, but give Gierek a vodka and he will tell you the truth about what he thinks of him.

"Well, what next?" Gierek asked Siwicki. Siwicki started to show where the 12th and 13th Mechanization should strike after the landing. "Comrade Secretary, the 12th and 13th Mechanization will set off...

Hel Peninsula
20 December 1974 P.C/ 1639 C.C.Y

"Move like you're going to spit out your lungs!" shouted the Polish officer to the new Blue Berets who were once again practicing landing on the beach. Currently, they were getting out of their TOPAS transporters onto the sand, and sometimes some of them into the cold Baltic Sea. Of course, the soldiers complained about the exercises in winter, because it doesn't make sense. Not that anyone above them cared too much.

The time left to train completely green recruits was small and what they had to learn was a lot. A complete irony of fate is the fact that many of them are recruits from the south of Poland! That is, the part that merged with the Vestal Continent. Well, you can't have everything and everyone was taken to the new unit, and since PRL put the recruits as far away from their regions of origin as possible, well, that's the beauty of a totalitarian state.

This resulted in such flowers as mountain units consisting of fishermen and marines consisting of highlanders. Of course Blue Berets are marines only because they have a similar function. In fact, they are part of the ground forces and are a de facto mechanized division that has the equipment for sea landing. The only Marine infantry regiment in communist Poland was merged with an infantry division a decade ago to form the 7th Lusatian Landing Division.

"Fucking hell, this water is icy, what are they thinking, making us practice the fucking sea landing in winter!" said angrily Andrzej Gąsienica who had the misfortune to be one of those who landed in the water. "Ty niy gŏdej tela ino ida" said in Silesian dialect his friend Jan Dańch who was before him and started to sell him out. "Jasiek, don't fuck around, who normally lands in winter?" Danch looked at him and said with a laugh "No motyka my Polŏki."

Andrey rolled his eyes. "Holy Hanys, talk to me like a human being, not like you. I don't understand half of what you say." The Pole from Upper Silesia only laughed at that.

"This is more fun, Andrzej," said Danch in Polish. Then they both climbed onto the sand, only to be chased away by the corporal "And what the fuck are you two talking about! Get the fuck upstairs now. Parpaldians won't give you such a fucking chance!" The corporal shouted at them, forcing the soldiers to run, and then he said the same to two others.

Both soldiers ran upwards, sometimes suffocated by the famous suspenders-constrictors on which their equipment was suspended. All the soldiers heartily hated these suspenders, hopeless and of old Wehrmacht origin. Of course, if they were given a free hand, it would be possible to adjust it so as not to be disturbing, but there must be discipline even if it kills soldiers and slows them down.

Of course this equipment had advantages, but not necessarily for the soldiers, first of all it was cheap and easy in mass production, the most important elements for a total war in which a typical infantryman would be less than 5 minutes on the battlefield. Well also if officers were not so dull it would be also good for carrying equipment for soldiers if only they were allowed more modifications. That is, simply adjust the ropes and harnesses to the height and how the soldier wears the equipment.

Instead of rigid guidelines that so much is allowed. Of course, the absurdities of PRL lead to the fact that all the equipment moves independently of the soldier and only by a miracle nothing falls out of it. Another of the wonders of socialism.

"Third Platoon, HALT!" Shouted the platoon sergeant to the soldiers who reached the forest after crossing the beach. "Form a column!" The soldiers quickly obeyed the order.
"Turn LEFT!"

The soldiers turned to the left then the platoon leader shouted, "On my command, forward MARCH!" Then the platoon followed the leader. They quickly reached their destination where they reloaded into the transports and were about to start the landing again.

"Over and over and over again for a couple of weeks, I'll be damned." said Gąsienica quietly to himself, his friend and the other soldiers of the Platoon all smiled at that.

Polish Aviation Works
20 December 1974 P.C/ C.C.Y

Świdnik

The factory was visited by a delegation from the Mu country, which in Poland was called Mustan to avoid confusion with the sound of a cow. -This is where our Mi-2 helicopters that the USSR developed for us are made,- said the Polish guide from the factory, showing the assembly line where another Mi-2.

Myrus who was in this delegation watched the construction process with interest in his eyes. Of course, the Japanese looked better and were much more advanced, but the Poles, unlike the Japanese, had no problem with showing how their machines were built. Moreover, Poland offered to sell those helicopters together with the technology of their construction and gave them a choice whether they wanted the Mi-1, called in Poland SW-1 and SW-2, or the Mi-2.

It was a choice between a better but more expensive design or a cheaper but worse one. Mu was very interested in cooperation with Poland because of the obviously smaller technological difference and because Poles are more willing to share their technology. Of course not all, but such that was practically in their country is either old but would give a solid kick forward technology or newer and the Poles are willing to earn on it and solidly.

Altaras independent victory in the battle with Parpaldia using Polish equipment was more than adequate advertising. Of course Myrus was very eager to buy Polish Mi-2, and the technology to build it. When he saw Japanese Helicopters he found something he wanted to build. And since there was a country which was willing to show how to do something like that, why shouldn't they?

His engineer's soul was screaming to give it to me so I could take it apart and see how it worked. Of course, first they had to learn the general principles of operation so they could understand how the helicopter got into the air.

Coming out of his thoughts, he heard the guide say, "This version of the Mi-2 is being produced for the Navy to equip our new helicopter carriers." Myrus heard this and asked, "What are these szmygłowcocu?" The guide stopped and looked at him "A Śmigłowcowiec is an aircraft carrier, but it carries helicopters instead of planes. Besides, it has the same function, although it is less effective, but cheaper."

Myrus thought for a moment, he's seen a ship like that before! Suddenly it dawned on him "It's the same ship as the Japanese Izumo and Kaga!" Then he furrowed his eyebrows "But they call them multi-purpose destroyers." The guide laughed unexpectedly "That's because of the Japanese constitution, which forbids them to have offensive means, so they have to play with names, in fact both of those ships are helicopter carrier."

Then, surprising everyone, he murmured so that everyone could hear. "Of course, supposedly their neighbors' negative opinion of them also influenced this."

Myrus looked at him curiously when he heard the latter. "What do you mean?" The guide gave him a grim look "I mean that they are making themselves victims of the Second World War even though they are not. In fact their neighbors have more than enough reason to hate them and want them wiped off the map."

Myrus looked at him puzzled. "So what did they do and who are the real victims?" The guide heard this and replied, "This is of course somewhat against the treaty with Japan but I will tell you briefly."

Then he led them to a quieter place. "You see the Japanese were next to the Germans one of those who started World War II and they were cruel criminals with hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilian deaths in China. A country which they invaded like Parpaldia. As for the victims of this war, we Poles, Jews, Gypsies, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians were victims of this war" said the guide, shocking them.

"But this is not the place for grim stories, if you want to know more about this war, go to Lublin, west of Świdnik. There is an extermination camp there, Majdanek, one of the camps that the Germans built on our land when they occupied us. And as for what Japan did, look in our bookstores and libraries. Or even if you can be persuaded, in pre-war newspapers. You will see what they did then." Said the guide with a quiet anger in his voice.

They had guessed why, they had seen Hiroshima and the general tendency to say what victims they were, they had seen pictures of a devastated Japan and sympathized with now they wanted to know how much of it was out of unnecessary anger and how much out of a desire for retaliation and justice. "But apparently Japan has changed" said one of the women from Mu country.

The guide smiled grimly, "Well, I guess we'll just have to see how long it lasts before the leash they've been on since World War II, the one America held on to, disappears along with the memory of it."

The somber mood that prevailed among the delegation "But this is not the time or place for that. If you want to know the story then I recommend someone who is more of an expert in this than I am. You came to see the helicopters, didn't you?" Said the guide distracting them. Then they moved on to the next hall. And Myros was thoughtful. I wonder what Japan did during their World War II that this guide is pissed off about.

Lublin, Majdanek
A few hours later.

In horror, the Mu delegation listened to the interpreter and the camp guide describe what had happened here. And what they saw was very disturbing. The camp itself seemed to give off an evil energy that said, something bad was happening here. Gas chambers, barracks for prisoners. The grim fate of everyone who ended up here and how they were tricked by the Germans to the very end.

Death by gas, something horrible and inhuman. It never occurred to them that such a thing could be done to people. But the worst was another fact, Germany was Japan's ally during that war. And Japan itself did something not much better than that. Myros, on the other hand, clearly had two phrases in his head: No more war, and Our fate is a warning to you. Both of which are in the mausoleum on the grounds of the former camp.

Myros took a long look at everything he saw. He gloomily imagined what all those poor people must have felt before their death. The fact that small children were also sent to the chambers shook him deeply. But what broke him down completely was the behavior of the Japanese tourists who behaved as if nothing had happened and what's more they were laughing in a place where one should not laugh!

Do they realize what was happening here? Or maybe I do not understand the Japanese? Can't you feel it? How entire families were wiped out of existence here just because they were different. Suddenly his eyes widened After all, they were allies of those monsters! Go back, the Germans apologized for this and their Chancellor knelt in Warsaw. Of course, he saw the Japanese behaving respectfully, knowing where they were, not as if they were watching a tourist attraction called How the Germans Murdered the Subhumans at Majdanek. Unfortunately, they were in the minority, or so he thought.

When they left the camp there was only one thing on everyone's mind: What the hell did you do, Japan?

Welcome to the next chapter for those who are reading. As those of you who know the original will have noticed, I've made Parpaldia a lot more different, less of a steorotypical villain and more of a regular imperialist like there were plenty of in the story. And also I changed the situation with Duro, I can't, I just can't understand why they put everything into one city. That's why I changed it to yes it is a huge blow but it doesn't cause the armory of Parpaldia to collapse.

Let me know how you like the change of character of the Emperor and his men to a more considerate one, although still deadly for them. Returning to the question why Poland hit Duro with bombers in such a way. I'll answer: it was the bloody Polish People's Republic, they didn't give a damn about ordinary Poles, do you think they would care about casualties suffered by the enemy, which in fact is what communism claims to fight against?

For ATP Bies will be useful but Tu-2s were withdrawn a decade earlier, another thing is that they were used up in a huge degree so they won't sell them in any way, although maybe there will be something for a license on the condition that they will manage their production first. Poland did not produce them. And thanks for the ideas on what became popular in the world from the Polish pop culture.

And now for the explanations

Niebieskie Berety/Blue Berets - Polish Marines, although, as I mentioned above, they are part of the army and de facto play the role of mechanized infantry with the possibility of landing. The name derives from the colors of their berets, which is probably obvious. The 7th Lusatian was seriously created from a combination of regular infantry and a regiment of Navy Marines. Which leads to the fact that to this day Poland does not have them as such. I wonder what people from other countries would think about this combination.

Translations from Silesian dialect -Ty niy gŏdej tela ino idź/ You don't talk so much just go, No motyka we Polŏki./ No fucking we Poles. Of course, this is for those who don't know Polish, a Pole will guess what is written here.

Hołd Pruski/The Prussian Homage - known to all the homage paid to Polish King Sigismund the Old by the Order of Teutonic Knights. It should be known that the Grand Master and later Prince of Prussia was the nephew of the Polish King. Curiosity Teutonic Order exists to this day and is engaged in charitable activities. Only its part remained secular.

Hołd Ruski/The Russian Homage- A little known homage even in Poland. A tribute paid by Czar Wasyl IV Shuisky to Polish King Sigismund III Vasa. It was a symbol of Russia's ultimate humiliation towards Poland. During the Partitions of Poland it was systematically removed from history books in Russia and Russia itself tried to erase everything connected with it. I recommend reading about why this happened. I will say one thing Painter and Corporal are amateurs, this is how to conquer Russia!

Konstystucja 3 Maja-Constitution of 3 May. I don't have to explain why and what for.

TOPAS - Czechoslovakia's modernization of the BTR-50. It is its deep modernization. It constitutes the basic infantry landing transport. The name is an abbreviation for Transportér Obrnený PASovy which means tracked armoured personnel carrier. In Poland it was used as an amphibious assault vehicle for Marines.

PZL.24 - the final development machine of the so-called Pułaszczyks. It was not used in Poland despite plans to implement this fighter into the air force.

It was used by 4 countries, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece. The latter had the opportunity to use them successfully against the Italians. Unlike the Italian Army, their air force was able to be an effective fighting force. The name itself is short for the factory that built them. The name is given above is where the helicopters are made.

Śmigłowcowiec/Helicopter Carrier- Unlike in English, in Polish the helicopter version of carriers is called something else and is not an adjective to the usual name for this class of ship. What's more, the literal translation of Carrier is Nosiciel, and the Poles call this class of ships "Lotniskowiec"! Which is derived from the word Lotnisko meaning Airfield. So for Poles Carrier means an airport on the water!

Mi-2 - A light multi-purpose helicopter, the only Mi not manufactured in the USSR. It is a Polish-Soviet design. To this day it serves in the Polish Army and Navy. Although they are in poor technical condition. Numerous and cheap. There are many versions of it in the world, widely used in the Eastern Bloc and countries allied with it.

SW-1, SW-2, - the Polish name for the Mi-1, the latter being an enlarged version of the Mi-1. The SW-1 was a successful multi-purpose helicopter used until it was superseded by the Mi-2. The SW-2 was not overly successful and had even worse performance and was no better than the smaller SW-1. They were manufactured under license by Poland.

Thank you for your attention to those who read and I paste here a joke posted by ATP from former Poland.

About how we loved soviets - Polish joke after Gagarin flight:

worker: boss,soviet go into cosmos!

boss: all of them?

worker: no,only one

boss: so why are you wasting my time?

And remember comrades, everything is possible for a Pole, all you have to do is to tell him that he won't do it!
