Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 276 043 Obviously Soloviev is very familiar with the British way of doing things

In fact, if Princess Sophia recalled the content of the letter from her sister who married to Württemberg, she would probably know that there was always a short, pretty "baby officer" standing behind Tsar Paul, and she would probably know that Soloviev had served as an aide-de-camp and commander of the Guards Battalion.

Of course, her brain was not the type of officer who could quickly handle various affairs like Bernard, and it was unlikely that she could recall the unimportant tasks in a letter.

Because old Charlotte wrote too much about the Russian royal family, such as the shy but knowledgeable crown princess, the two clever princesses who had not yet married, the tall and strong queen, and the short, capable but gentle Tsar Paul.

As for the marriage of William and Alexandra, it was also the content of the communication between the sisters. Although old Charlotte was just a stepmother, she was still able to handle the relationship with her 400-pound strongman husband and his rebellious crown prince.

Perhaps it was a dissolute prince like William who, after marrying his beautiful cousin, turned to being a good husband and father in the palace wholeheartedly. Even George III would agree with this.

Although his daughters were not allowed to contact those nobles privately, this was only a pre-marital issue. The real problem was the parliament.

Soloviev was an outsider. If he was a confidant of Prince George, he could have said it directly. The zoo of the House of Commons also served as a prison guard, watching over all British citizens.

This could not be said. He was now responsible for playing with Princess Charlotte.

And in the yard, the space was obviously larger.

There was also a place to play tennis in Prince George's yard, and it was a grass court. This kind of ground was very soft, but the ball speed was very fast.

"I want to watch Mr. Misha from Russia play tennis with an officer."

This request was not excessive. Girls should be more obedient, even if she was a little naughty and always wanted to pull Soloviev's braids.

Who told this guy to take care of his hair frequently? Not to mention blond hair, even black hair would make the curious Charlotte pull his braids.

Golden retrievers are more suitable for petting, no matter whether it is human hair or golden retrievers.

As for finding an officer to play tennis, there are really people who can come here to serve immediately.

Brent Spencer, the lover of the second sister August Sofia, is steady and reliable. In order not to affect the king's condition, the things between him and the princess have been kept secret.

It's like the little secrets of Solovyov and Her Majesty the Queen, which are not even disclosed to their closest friends.

This is a prequel to the MI6 vs. KGB, and both of them are good at keeping secrets for their lovers.

It's not an excessive request to make the child who is the second heir to the royal family happy, and it can still be satisfied.

It's just that General Spencer is 44 years old, and Solovyov is only 23 years old. The day he came to the manor was his 23rd birthday.

"At this time, it depends on which one is more advantageous, experience or vitality."

Soloviev likes to hit the ball with one hand, and the other arm is used to keep balance.

General Spencer was the Duke of Wellington's first deputy in the Peninsular War. The general had previously defended his commander-in-chief in the parliamentary questioning.

However, the ability of this knight was not satisfactory to the Iron Duke, so he found General Graham to replace him.

Then Spencer returned to London. He was the king's attendant general for a long time, but during this period he established a friendship with Princess August Sophia that went beyond ordinary friendship.

"General, I think you must pay attention when serving. The ball speed on the grass is too fast."

Obviously, this general has been in the army for a long time, and his strength is still not small.

As for him getting close to the net after serving, this is also a typical British way of playing, which is also convenient for interception.

It's just that at his age, he is obviously not suitable for this kind of play.

Solovyov has been guarding near the baseline, and it is difficult to mobilize the opponent. After all, his height makes it difficult for him to hit the ball.

If it is a clay court, there may be some ways to consume it by endurance.

The speed of hitting the ball on the grass court is too fast. Even if these two are amateur players, it is difficult to deal with the opponent's tricky angles.

Charlotte was hugged by her aunt and laughed happily.

She is very lively and likes to watch sports, although it is not easy for ladies to participate in various sports.

Especially her grandfather George III, who is too strict with his children, but the fact that the crown prince's 630,000 pounds of debt can be linked to marriage is indeed hard to describe.

If some civilians on the street are playing football, she will be very interested if she sees it.

Speaking of which, the most famous thing in Britain is ball games, especially cricket and football.

However, cricket is popular in India, but football is a global sport.

Of course, the British have always prohibited women from playing football, and later passed legislation.

Outside Prince George's villa are some small villages near London. The people here are not like the workers in the city, who have no football to play if they work more than twelve hours.

So it is not strange for a ball to fly in occasionally.

After all, the crown prince and his daughter don't always appear here. When the ball flies in, it is also a daily routine to pick it up or ask the gardener and gatekeeper to throw it back.

When Solovyov and General Spencer sat down to wipe their sweat and mentioned which battlefield they were fighting in the anti-French alliance, they didn't realize what was happening behind the scenes.

"I can't tell that you are still in the expeditionary force of Duke Suvorov."

"Yes, and you have experienced the entire Italian and Swiss expeditions. Speaking of which, the French are indeed a tough opponent. We encountered big trouble in Switzerland. For example, you were in Egypt and finally trapped the Egyptian legion to death. Except for the bad climate and rampant epidemics, it was an ideal battlefield."

And there was a Gloucester Battalion there that became a "Double Emblem Battalion" and would be eliminated near the Imjin River in the future.

"It is indeed not easy to fight in the mountains. You were able to retreat unscathed because you were quick enough. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to act in the mountains of Switzerland."

By the way, the two of them also had to complain about the Austrian allies other than Archduke Karl, especially Emperor Franz.

At this moment, a ball flew in and hit Solovyov on the back of his head.

"Hey, which bloody little bastard is playing football without eyes."

He said this, anyway, you can't tell that he is Russian, and his accent always makes people feel friendly.

"Sorry, sir!"

It was really a red-haired kid who kicked the ball over the fence.

"Your hair is really red, where are you from?"

"From Dublin, sir."

General Spencer himself is from Ireland, and his family is also very prestigious in Ireland.

As a master, he still has some sympathy for these people who come to Ireland to make a living. As a loyalist, that's all, especially since he has close ties with the royal family.

"When you play football here, you should also check if there are people in the yard. There happen to be many big shots here today."

The red-haired kid now knows that these people are either rich or noble when he sees their clothes, and he is a little slurred.

"Hey, kid, are you playing football here for fun or training?"

"We have a game with a team from a nearby village tomorrow."

The rules these days are that the teams from two schools, factories or villages negotiate the rules to play the game, and there is already an offside rule.

"A game?"

"Yes, sir."

"If you play football on the street, you might break someone else's window, and someone will cause trouble for you."

"We play football in the countryside, it doesn't matter, there are many places."

"I think there should be a professional stadium."

Crown Prince George is actually not a bad person. He can ruin his reputation, and he does have some skills in it.

"That's great, Your Highness, what do you think?"

Princess Sofia was asked this question. She didn't understand football, a civilian sport, very well, but she was more familiar with tennis and other sports.

"I don't understand football, if Charlotte."

This child met the royal family directly today. Not to mention the two princesses here, there is also the crown prince himself in the villa.

Moreover, he couldn't help but bow when he heard the name of Princess Charlotte.

Speaking of which, the popularity of this princess was ridiculously high in London at that time. Even in the countryside near London, everyone knew that the Prince of Wales was a smart, lazy, and drunkard, but the princess born to the princess was very cute.

To be honest, as the second heir, her popularity was higher than that of Princess Charlotte in the 21st century, and this was without deliberate publicity.

After seeing this, Solovyov also showed a confused expression. Is this naughty little princess so popular?

The Queen of England after that was Victoria, and he also knew this, and she inherited the throne because her uncle, the King, had no children.

The reason was the bad luck of this princess when she gave birth. With the level of British doctors and maternal care, a healthy baby boy was tormented to death during delivery. Soon after, Princess Charlotte also died suddenly, which shocked the whole of Britain, so that white cloth was out of stock.

Compared with the Mad King George III and the unreliable Crown Prince George, Princess Charlotte was healthy, lively, and very popular. Her sudden death at the age of 21 was indeed shocking.

There are many things in this that Soloviev didn't know. After all, his attention has always been on St. Petersburg. As for the British royal family before the aunt, he only knew about the Mad King and the earlier Glorious Revolution.

You know, the Feng Shui of Daiying is really lacking in virtue. Even George III and Queen Charlotte, who gave birth in sequence, couldn't stand the death of several princes one after another, and the princess died of illness before she got married.

If they were in Europe, even the veterinarians in Vienna would not kill the healthy child because of their own negligence when such an important royal member gave birth, and the mother would die suddenly soon.

The problem in Austria was mainly that they didn't realize the hygiene problem, and the doctor in Daiying was

But Princess Charlotte will know some stories in the future, and Russia's new surgical technology will also be spread to Western Europe. The most important thing is disinfection.

She didn't know that the person in front of her could even deliver her own brother, she was just very curious about football.

And Solovyov thought of helping Crown Prince George.

Count Vorontsov told him a lot about the British side. For Russia, the parliamentary bastards are really annoying. Although the king is mentally ill, he can still talk to him under the reasonable rules of rule that he thinks are reasonable.

As for the crown prince himself, this smart brain is actually a standard gentleman. He is very decent in his conversation. How can he be hated?

The problem is actually his personal performance. As for the cultivation of the kingdom, it should also show some appearance.

But he didn't have time to think about it. Now Charlotte wants to watch the boys in the village play football.

Speaking of which, although she knows the level difference, it is the nature of children to love to play, and people also like to watch the excitement.

"I want to watch them play football."

In fact, there is no official term for football yet, but the ball already exists.

It will take some time to stay in London. Solovyov is not in a hurry to return now. The crew of the "Hurry" are also resting and replenishing supplies in Portsmouth to prepare for returning to St. Petersburg.

Because this mission in London is also related to transporting a group of Scottish engineers back home, it is indeed necessary to wait for Count Vorontsov's arrangement.

The football rules in Solovyov's mind are all complete in the future. At that time, even semi-automatic offside and VAR were already available.

As for the British, in fact, if a dedicated stadium is built, and there are semi-professional and professional teams, their basic environment

However, this ball can indeed improve the image of the crown prince among the British people and increase his capital to deal with the cabinet in the future.

After all, George III acted according to the public opinion he interpreted.

The British royal family probably performs like this. Princess Charlotte, who we see now, is still a lively and playful child. This lively nature plus her enthusiasm for waving to the onlookers, it is no wonder that she is very popular.

As for how they are in private, this British newspaper really likes to make some big news.

There is no girl on the third page of the Sun now, and it is not even the Sun in the future.

But the gossiping behavior of the British is indeed shocking. The jokes about the royal family in the future may not be as explosive as the revelations of this era.

After all, the things in the future are all based on facts to speculate outrageous stories to divert attention.

In 1804, this required the rich imagination of newspaper editors and those reporters.
