Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796
Chapter 372 014 Changes that occurred in advance
"It's been a long time since we spent time together like this, Misha."
"But this way, it always makes people feel that you are also looking for excitement."
Solovyov and Louisa were sleeping in the same bed, so there was no need to worry about anyone spying on them. After all, the maids had all gone to bed, and the guards were on the periphery, so they would not affect the queen's sleep.
"But I don't like excitement that much."
"In Russia, anything can happen."
When he said this, he was still caressing Louisa's back and waist, and then continued to kiss.
If someone is not careful, someone may be killed again, and this time there will be no twins to protect him.
"It looks like we might have a child."
"But for so long, Louisa, you have given birth to girls all the time, and Your Majesty doesn't even have any hope of having a son."
"That may also be God's will. I'm also curious, besides our baby, how many children do you have, young people who are not married?"
"There are three more, two girls you know."
"Are you talking about the girl from the Visconti family? She is really interesting. She could be your wife, but in the end she chose her like this. If you bring her back, I will give you my blessing."
"But that's it, she doesn't want to marry me no matter what, and she doesn't even plan to marry anyone else."
"Strange girl, what about the other one?"
"Louisa, don't be surprised when you hear this."
Louisa became curious when she saw him like this.
"I'd like to hear it. Of course, I might be surprised."
Solovyov cleared his throat and said unhurriedly: "I and Prince Borghese's wife Polina, the sister of the French 'usurper' Napoleon Bonaparte, have a son. ”
"Oh, you have struck directly at the heart of our enemy."
Of course, what Louisa said was somewhat joking. Her brother wrote that Napoleon intended to make his adopted daughter Stephanie his wife, so that the new royal family of the Elector of Baden, or now the Grand Duke of Baden and Bonaparte would become a family.
"You rarely speak so playfully, Louisa, come on."
"I always feel that you have secrets. Don't hide them from me. You can see them in your eyes."
Then Louisa pressed against Solovyov's body. The soft touch and the mixed fragrance of almond milk made it difficult for people to refuse her request after the intimate touch.
Solovyov liked this feeling, so he acted like this. He just thought about it for a moment, then touched Louisa's shoulder and whispered into her ear: "Don't believe it when you tell me, Louisa, I My stepmother is probably Empress Josephine’s cousin, and that Bonaparte may be my uncle!”
Of course, his hands were not very honest, but it frightened Louisa, like a frightened little rabbit.
She grabbed the quilt and huddled inside. After giggling, she regained her calm expression.
"It's really unbelievable that you actually have such a relationship with that person. In this case, the prince's wife can also be regarded as your young aunt, alas."
Young women often gossip, but Solovyov also knows that Louisa will not tell anyone. She still knows what can be said and what cannot be said.
"But I only found out about this after the fact, and there is no blood relationship between us, so it doesn't matter."
"Looking at it this way, we can be considered a family."
"Even now, we're in the same bed."
At this moment, Solovyov was still squeaking at Louisa's ticklish armpits, which made her beg for mercy. His tearful eyes made people want to bully her even more.
"Okay, Misha, please spare me."
"That's good."
We have to spend the night here, and there are still serious things to do when we arrive.
As for the more shocking thing, Louisa did not delve into it because Solovyov said there was "no corroboration".
Anyway, even if the person involved knows about it, there is no reaction yet. The letter Solovyov sent half to seek relatives and half to provoke him after Dürenstein was not delivered to his family, and Josephine didn't even understand it. .
As for Louisa, Solovyov will come over during this time, but he must be careful.
During the day, he still had to go back to Grand Duke Constantine, because the Russian army needed to establish the structure of the general staff, and later adjusted the general staff headquarters under the munitions director system, so he devoted all his energy to work.
At this moment, adjustments are indeed needed.
It's just that when he came to the Guards headquarters, he didn't seem to be in good condition and easily attracted attention.
But many people knew that he always went to Mrs. Recamier's place on weekdays, and maybe he went there again this time.
The lady was not yet thirty years old. Although she was a young widow from France, just looking at her was exciting enough, and the generals were envious of her.
But for Mrs. Recamier, those who can enter her boudoir must have some literary accomplishments and be able to write poems or create works. Although they are warriors with an online level of education, they are not very good at cultivating their sentiments. They are still writing love letters. A bunch of silly words and phrases.
"You kid, hehe."
Solovyov didn't realize the problem until some Guards Cavalry came over, but he still had time to tidy up his appearance.
After Constantine came in, the main issue began to be discussed, the composition of the staff.
"Okay, today all the regiment leaders are here, as well as the clerk from the Ministry of War. The results of our discussion will be sent to Sergei Kuzmich. Now, from Solovyov Let’s get started.”
Konstantin started here, and Solovyov also knew that he would still be the introduction today.
"Everyone, our staff organization has always followed the model of Prussia and Austria. On the one hand, it has a military director, and on the other hand, it has to set up generals on duty. It is parallel among the departments, but it is actually not conducive to the entire command organization. operation.”
"Yes, the general on duty was not reinstated until the emperor issued the edict. It is inevitable that his duties will be unclear."
"Indeed, that's why when we established the staff department and set up the chief of staff below the commander, we merged the departments under the munitions director and the general on duty into the jurisdiction of the staff department. After all, the staff can be considered a kind of staff. , this is how it is said in several languages we use.”
Even in Russian, words may be borrowed from outside.
Everyone agreed on this, and then Konstantin signaled Solovyov to continue.
Then, he asked a lieutenant of the Chasseur Regiment to lift the curtain, and behind it was the staff structure he created.
In fact, it is simple. This can directly establish a staff headquarters for Russia, with seven divisions under its jurisdiction, responsible for operations, intelligence, reconnaissance, logistics, general affairs, offices and foreign exchanges.
In this way, after Solovyov talked about it, the structure was indeed very clear.
"This looks okay!"
Ma Liujing understood clearly that by operating in this way, the responsibilities of the staff department would be clearer, and if the foreign affairs and offices were removed, the first five offices would be very useful if they were placed in the regular staff department.
It’s just that many people can see that this plan faces several combat-related departments and there are still many staff configurations.
In order to explain clearly to everyone, Solovyov will continue to explain: "Look here, after our staff is established, there will definitely be needs for frontline troops. The responsibility for combat planning still has to be in the high-level command organization. The armies and divisions that go on expeditions all need to make adjustments, and more of them need to strengthen the departments that formulate combat plans, and what is needed more is the reconnaissance agencies."
"But then it's just as bloated as the Austrians."
When someone said this, Solovyov knew what he wanted to say, and he knew how to respond.
"The Austrians have a bloated organization because they have added too many meaningless personnel to their departments. However, our staff organization still has fewer people than the Austrian staff. At the same time, each staff member must emphasize his or her Functionality.”
"Functional?"
"Ah, that's what you can do. Gentlemen, you must also remember that you can't imitate the Austrians and use some words that are incomprehensible like me."
After saying this, all the regiment leaders burst into laughter. They all knew that the orders given by the Austrians were rigorous and long-winded, and they were conveyed in German.
During joint operations, it is still a big problem if the officers in the Russian army are not proficient in German.
At this time, Solovyov was more or less beginning to prepare for the next anti-French alliance, and was already considering the staff structure after joining forces with Prussia.
You know, if the Guards now establishes a staff department, his military rank is not high, but he can join the staff department. Grand Duke Constantine hopes that he will serve as chief of staff.
Although his military rank is somewhat underqualified for this position.
However, considering that royals like Grand Duke Constantine generally do not use military titles, he is a colonel, so it does not matter if he is a little lower.
Even now he has already thought about what the joint staff should be composed of.
Just like this, I am afraid that he will leave the Guards Chasseur Regiment and take up a new job in the staff department.
The disadvantage is that you can't lead troops directly, and the workload is also heavy; the advantage is that you have more free time, and you can also focus on writing work.
Even after work, he had to devote his energy to dealing with those publishing houses. In addition, he also had to give lessons to the two Grand Dukes Nicholas and Mikhail. He also had to take time to deal with Louisa in the evening. Maybe I'll go to Madame Recamier's at some point.
Even at home in Washi Lane, I can't completely relax.
This period of time was enough for him, as both work intensity and life intensity were very high.
But as the work intensity increases, he feels a sense of accomplishment, and this is also the way for him to cross the threshold and be promoted to general.
If the Solovyov family wants to have a general, if he doesn't work hard now, he will probably have to wait for his nephew to succeed in the Guards.
As for the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, when Constantine brought the results of the discussion to Alexander, the Tsar himself quickly made a decision and approved the transfer of many responsibilities of the Directorate General of Munitions to the newly established General Staff Headquarters. The old departments should focus on logistics support and the construction of military facilities.
However, after the Ministry of War was reorganized, it began to be more or less involved in military production.
With Sergei Kuzmich's ability, he could run the old Ministry of War, but it would be difficult under the new track.
But Alexander has not made a decision in this regard. Except for the Chief of Staff, who will be temporarily held by Van Suchteren and his confidant Peter Volkonsky, who will serve as the Deputy Chief of Staff and concurrently as the Chief of Operations, all other personnel are transferred from the original Quartermaster General Department.
After this reorganization, the responsibilities of the main military leadership organs are relatively clear. The next step is to further adjust the military system and increase the division-level command organization, which generally has 4 to 6 regiments under its jurisdiction. It is mainly a two-four system. Only a few strengthened troops will use the three brigades and six regiments.
And Solovyov himself was only transferred out of the Guards Chasseurs, and a royalist exiled from France, Saint Prix, was found to replace him.
"Your Highness, what else should I do?"
"You should stay at the Guards Headquarters. Considering that you have to teach my brothers and are busy with official duties, you should come to guide the construction of the Guards Staff."
In this way, the work intensity has been reduced. His schedule has been quite full recently, and he really can't work at full capacity.
General Van Suchteren has also made some adjustments to the structure of the staff. As a general-level chief engineer, he is in charge of many things.
Especially in several important cities in the border areas, fortifications must be built, such as the new fortresses in the Brest area, the defense zones around the border, and the construction of defense facilities in some important areas of the country.
But at the construction level, it is also a headache, that is, the phenomenon of misappropriation of military funds that is common in Europe, but it has not affected the number of troops, which is already thankful.
If they were like the Turks next door, they would have already vacated many of the sultan's guards. If the number of people continued to decrease, I'm afraid that even the Ottomans would be lost in the future.
After the establishment of the General Staff, Peter Volkonsky also received the task of conducting preliminary assessments of possible military operations in several directions and formulating corresponding combat plans.
This was supported by Alexander. In the reports he saw, both Gudovich, who had already set out for the Caucasus, and Duke Richelieu, who was in Odessa, had reported that the Ottoman Empire was extremely restless on the border.
Even Anapa, which was very close to Crimea, an important military fortress and talent exchange market of the Ottoman Empire, had strengthened its military strength, and the opponent obviously did not want to stop.
