Subj: [kl] D minor : B major :: G minor : ???

This request for help is related to a piece of J.S Bach's music, but he
did not write the particular chords that I'm asking about, and so I
cannot cite a particular piece of music.

If you listen to the progression "I vi" (such as "F-major d-minor" in
key of F major), this progression sounds like a 'weakened' version of "I
- IV" (such as F-major B-major in key of F major).

My question: if you extend the 'weakened' progression to a third chord
and listen to it --- namely "I vi ii" (such as F-major d-minor g-minor
in key of F major), what would the parallel 'strong' chord be in the
progression "I IV ..." ?

Is there only one clear answer to this question or is there room for
personal opinions here? Perhaps I should be embarrassed that I cannot
'hear' the answers to this question myself on the keyboard, but I can't.
Only 12 tones, but too many possibilities.

Thank you,
Bill
