Highly confidential

I suggest we have a joint venture into Poland, because my troops are under siege. Between our combined forces, we can conquer Poland and Lithuania. I assure you, not only would the Russian empire be eternally grateful to the Ottoman Empire, but we would agree to give you 1 quarter of all land secured and 1 third of soldiers and weapons secured from Poland. I urge you to take this under consideration.

Sounds like this could work, however, I need to know if you're currently battling any of my current allies (Either France or the Ottoman Empire)? If this is not the case, then Russia would gladly have an alience with you.

From King Sablepaw to Czar Soren of Russia.

Highly Confidential, DO NOT LOOK!

Czar Soren of Russia, it has come to my attention that you are now fighting a difficult and expensive war against the Polish Commonwealth. For your aid in our own struggles I will be sending shiploads of supplies on Savoy ships too the Ottoman Empire. From there they will journey across land to Poland to resupply your troops. Protecting these caravans will be a guard of Thirty Thousand Musketeers under the command of Lord Belvor. He will be placed under your direct command as will all French supplies joining your effort. All I ask for this military support is a Two Polish port cities and a stretch of seaside land on the Northern end of Poland.

-In France the populace is relishing in the welcome end to the land based threat. Prince Sablepaw returns to Paris and insists his father talks peacefully with the English King. However King Sablepaw is firm and the invasion of England will continue as planned.-

-The Mediterranean sea is fully under French control. The fleet grows daily and soon is powerful enough to take on its English enemy. After some time Three full French fleets are formed. One sails the Mediterranean protecting it from further attack. The second sets a course to the West Indies to recapture the valuable trading routs that have been held up by the British Caribbean Fleet. And the last under the freshly promoted Commodore Mouslier sail towards the English channel determined, and ready to open up a gap so the French army can invade England.-

You can't do it that quick. Also. the next one would have resistance, or it would take awhile.
You advance on the city, not take it.
