Operation Boleslaw is a go
Can we expect to see a Greater Potatolandic Republic after Poland herself is united?
Depends on what you mean by that. I think pretty much all of former Polish-Lithuania will be taken after this war, and I'll add an event to add "Lithuanian" as an accepted culture.
Final Liberation of Poland and Finland
The Russians lose another important battle as the Polish forces are facing larger and larger numbers. Chemical weapons, justifiable as an instrument of freedom fighters against imperialism, have served as massive force multipliers coupled with the fact Krakowian army has also better equipment and technology in nearly every field compared to Russia. The casualty ratios are ridiculous, and the Russian army morale is breaking apart. But for all the dreams of the Polish people to come true, it'll be necessary to destroy all the Russian capability of fighting first.
Quickly mass encirclements are made as the Russian casualties rack up in the hundreds of thousands.
A naval battle between steamer transports may be the only naval battle in the entire war, as in this field, nothing will really matter for the final outcome, and with a much bigger fleet, Swedish and Krakowian merchant navies will definitively put those ships, probably loaded with troops, down.
Even when terrain and rivers favor their defense, they are still being soundly beaten with heavy casualties. Surely, this war still had a cost in lives for Krakow, but the way it is going, for each dead Krakowian soldier there will be like ten Russian cannon fodders dead.
Napoleon must be rolling over in his grave while potato eaters prove to be far more awesome than he ever dreamed of against Russia. Soon the Kremlin shall fall again to Polish hands. The Russian army is being routed on every front, no exceptions.
The first functional tanks came off too late to make any difference in this already ongoing war, but should imperialists ever try to subjugate Poland again, then their ambitions will be crushed over their treads.
Regardless, immediately a order for nearly one hundred armored brigades is given as Krakow military commanders believe these barrels willl be the future of warfare. Now, with an interventionist economy, Krakow's government cannot order the construction of barrel factories and instead hope the "market" will recognize the demand and do it on its own, which means getting these brigades operational will take much longer than normal unless a party that advocates state capitalism is elected, which is unlikely because it was the Catholic Party's governments that ensured Krakow's rise, and their morale won't be easily faded.
Countless Russian brigades are encircled in Kaluga, where soon reinforcements will arrive to aid the offensive, and now, Moscow will soon be occupied. With Moscow and St. Petersburg fallen, the Russian Empire will lose any ability of fighting back and turning the tide of the conflict.
As it is clear now that the enemy will be totally broken, Krakow can be assured this will be the final war. The return of all historical Polish-Lithuanian land will be one of the demands for the occupation of Russia to be ended.
Tsaritsyn, also known in other times as Volgograd, or Stalingrad, becomes the last big city of Russia to fall. Once St. Petersburg, Moscow and Tsaritsyn are fully under Krakowian control, although perhaps a bit excessive to claim, victory is due.
1st of July, 1904. Napoleon is full of envy. The Russian Army has been all but wiped out, and although they keep mobilizing fodder to try reverting the situation, everything is clear now. As long as Krakow can rapidly deploy men to counter the stacks and encircle them, only time separates the Polish people from the greatest victory of all their history. However, why keep this oppressive, corrupt, feudal and decadent Empire intact besides freeing Poland? With the near certainty of total victory, another people shall be benefitted:
And thus the Potato-Scandinavian Alliance will grow even stronger, should Krakow achieve a total victory! And awesome snipers to kill Russians should they try to invade Poland and Finland again as a bonus, and of course, Lithuanian hitmen too.
Progress in technology continues to be focused on culture for now. Finishing the Psychology fields to ensure maximum efficiency in organization regain and on how fast casualties are reinforced, while opening the field of radios as the newest form of entertainment and information delivery for business, will be helpful for the reborn Poland-Lithuania.
Damn, these Russians really have too many cannon fodder, considering Siberia has been breached already, and the economical heart of Russia was conquered. Yet, the superior technology and training of Krakowian forces shall prevail. Yet, they have been almost lowered to nothing by the war. Their standing army was wiped out, most of their wealthiest territories already fell, but for all intended goals, Krakow needed to deliver a truly crushing blow.
The battle reached a grave point. The infantry forces were barerly holding up the artillery from being crushed, and alone they were outnumbered by Russian infantry at much, much more than just 40:1, and yet, for every of them who fell, many more Russian pigs did. The war might have already been won, but no battle has been more legendary, to be perhaps the most remembered battle of all the Final Liberation War, than the battle of Sarapul, where, hoping for reinforcements, three thousand men continued fighting and dying, never flinching even against the legions, even after over nine tenths of them perished, the survivors didn't give up.
While miraculously they continued to keep the legions of Russian forces busy, and finally reinforcements were arriving at Sarapul, another important battle is won in spite of the enemy's superior numbers. It becomes a costly victory, but still with greater casualties for the Russians.
While Russia was on the verge of total defeat, it seems that some commies never learn. They won't cause any serious damage, and thus are for now ignored. For the focus must be all on the final liberation right now. Some troops that remained behind in occupations will take care of the reds, by making them dead.
Poland could choose between using this devastating victory to free small pieces of oppressed peoples, or to free the entire territory of one people. Believing one strong ally is better than many weak ones, they impose another war goal: more freedom for Finland. Maybe they'll even cause enough Havoc to get Karelia back as well.
The Battle of Sarapul will be forever remembered and highlighted as the most legendary of all battles in Russia. Something that started by one infantry and one artillery brigade caught unprepared, six thousand men, that even with Potato Gas, had all odds against them facing more than one hundred thousand Russian soldier. Under such situation, untermensch wouldn't fight with utmost bravery until the arrival of reinforcements, but instead flee. 88763 Russians dead, and all survivors forced to surrender as they had nowhere to retreat. From the original infantry brigade of three thousand men, the Forlorn hope of Sarapul, only about two hundred survived, who will all be commended with many medals and be all promoted for their utmost courage to press on an offensive in spite of being completely outnumbered by and far, and the artillerymen also had their promotions and medals for not retreating in spite of how risky their position was with the front line infantry dangerously on the verge of being totally wiped out.
After this victory, it was believed the Russians wouldn't send more fodder at such high numbers.

The inventor of Potato Gas, which also was responsible for many important breakthroughs in non-military fields that greatly changed the world, would bring much prestige to Krakow as he was given the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, causing immense butthurt among the Germans, Austrians and Russians watching the event.
It was only logical that after the certainty Russia will be 100% under occupation if they don't fold, Karelia should be added as a war goal for Finland to become as strong as possible. Krakow was fighting not only for the freedom of their people, but also for the freedom of other peoples. What kind of scum would oppose such a noble cause? Only countries that deserved to take rains of Potato gas for their corruption, decadency and imperialism!
Because "infamy" rose 0.03 points above the arbitrary maximum accepted by the other great powers, shit hit the fan, and Poland can't be formed during wars. The French, siding with those gooks who, somehow, westernized and became a great power, thus demand to crush the dreams of Poland and Finland, but they lack a direct border with Krakow, which is both good and bad. Good because it means there will be no serious threat to the territory that matters. Bad because they can't be taught a lesson this way as Krakow lacks a Navy strong enough to safely move troops and force them to raise the white flag.
Yet, over the colonies, this disrepect, this total indignity and absurd of being against the noble cause of liberating oppressed peoples and considering nations who do so infamous, damage is inevitable, and without the chances of forging a naval might, the colonial forces will have to either hold their ground on their own or perish.
And as if things couldn't be bad enough, the traitorous pigs from the West are now all set on against Poland, again. A pity Krakow has no navy, otherwise a Sealion would be a humbling lesson to those imperialist tyrants. The good news is that, as Russia does not grant military access to China either, these acts won't interfere with the soon to be finsihed war for Freedom. Fighting for freedom, in this corrupt and decadent world, gains not recognition, but infamy. Perhaps in the next ten years Poland could research and rise a mighty enough navy to give these pigs a lesson. But that is for the future. Right now, there is a war to be finished.
Once St. Petersburg falls, the Russian Tzar finally folds, and hastily, Krakow presses them to do what they want.
However, before Krakow can finally officially become Poland, the imperialists must be dissuaded from trying to crush the dreams of the Polish people. Over Helsinki, many celebrations are held in spite of the massive amount of Ukrainian immigrants all over Finland that were part of a Russian attempt to destroy the culture of the peoples they subjugated through multikult. On the other hand, Finland had a larger adult male population of 1.4 million inhabitant than it would have otherwise.
After the war, Russia erupts into chaos. With their standing army totally crushed, Communists begin to occupy most of the western border territories and the revolution tide sweeps across Ukraine. This time, due to how devastating the war was, they might win.
Due to the pigs of the west, the Forming of Poland couldn't yet be made. But a question remains: is there any further price to pay after all these decades of struggle, as now Krakow is Poland, and more, in all but name?
