Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

The time in Vienna would not last long. Solovyov took Kolya to meet the "little goblin". With this age difference, he was a little worried about whether his second-in-law, who was in his early twenties, could withstand this "crazy girl" "She's famous for being horny, so it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen.

But Prince Nicholas probably has one advantage like Katya, that is, the two siblings are more disciplined. If it were the eldest brother Vasily, who knows what would happen.

Yes, little Prince Vasily is very proud of women. In fact, if you look at the portraits of the two brothers, the younger brother is more handsome.

"Misha, this mission is strange enough. I'm worried."

"It doesn't matter. I will write a memorial to the emperor, a three-fold memorial, explaining the situation of this matter."

"Little Goblin" is also outrageous, but her absurdity can also be used to gather information. Alexander will be angry and always feels that there is some strange logic in it.

Regardless of this, Soloviev decided to set off. He would first go to Breslau (today's Wroclaw in Poland), and from there go east to Brest to join his staff group.

Clausewitz was also in Breslau. It was also at this time that communications were not developed enough. It might be quite expensive to build a signal station. Moreover, this was only a short-term application in the rapidly developing communications business. In the future, this principle will be used. Communications will not be revived.

Optical signals were eventually replaced by telegraph and radio, with better speed and accuracy, as well as greater propagation distance, also due to advances in technology.

Well, that's what he thought. He passed through some places in Bohemia and Moravia along the way and saw that the situation was even worse than in Italy.

On the Austrian side, the continuous defeats have indeed depleted the country's strength, and in vain, they were almost forced to join the Rhine League with bayonets.

But no matter how miserable it is, it is still a centipede. It is dead but not dead. Austria can still use the wealth of Hungary and other territories to rebuild.

The worst thing was Prussia. Even Silesia was almost lost. There are even French troops stationed here, and tax revenue is often cut off by the local French military commanders.

The situation in Breslau was okay only because there were no French people in the city for the time being.

This is a large city in Silesia. It used to belong to Poland. After Piast on the Polish side died because there was no legal heir, the Habsburgs controlled it, and then it became the territory of Prussia.

These two robbers are actually uglier than those in Russia.

When Austria occupied the area, it was already predominantly Protestant and was forced to convert to Catholicism.

That is to say, there were no external forces to support here, and the surrounding countries that believed in Protestantism were relatively weak at that time, so there was no big trouble.

Switching to Serbia, they now recognize Russia, which is willing to fight the Ottoman Empire, as their big brother. Originally, they were looking for Austria, but Austria is not active in fighting the Turks, but is very active in forcing the Serbians to convert to Catholicism.

A religious matter was troublesome enough. Then Prussia came and captured Silesia through the War of Austrian Succession. Then there was the Seven Years' War, which was able to save the place and became an important source of finance for Prussia.

Going to Breslau, after Clausewitz got married, he first had to go home to handle some things, and had a conversation with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and then came to Breslau to meet friends.

When Solovyov came to Breslau, he also wanted to talk to him about the rear construction of the Odessa Military Governor's Region. After all, his current appointment was to act as the acting military governor of Odessa.

In fact, he can be converted into a formal governor, but considering his qualifications, he can only do so first.

At the same time, he did not know what was happening in Petersburg and what would happen to Speransky.

When he came to Breslau, Soloviev also saw Clausewitz on the road into the city, but he was wearing a black Prussian military uniform here.

"Karl, you don't have to wait for me here. Wouldn't it be better to go to the square?"

"You would look too ostentatious in the city. After all, you are a Russian general."

"You are still my chief of staff, aren't you also serving in the Russian army?"

"This is only temporary. I will still return to Prussia in the future. However, our King's current performance is only worthy of praise for his willingness to work hard to rebuild the country."

"What happened in Berlin?"

"Her Royal Highness the Queen and Your Majesty are separated. You should be very aware of this matter, right?"

"Those are all suspicious things, and there is no evidence. I think your king is also blaming Queen Louise for Tilsit. But without the Queen's courage, I am afraid that even Silesia and West Prussia will not be saved. "

"What you said makes sense. Let's go to Baron von Richthofen's manor and stay there for two days to have a good rest."

Von Richthofen? Solovyov now needs to rack his brains to recall some things, and it is still difficult to recall.

The "Red Baron" was indeed a native of Breslau, and this place was probably where the manor of his ancestors or relatives was located.

It can be considered a typical Prussian Junker family. Some families who have served for a long time were already soldiers when the Hohenstaufen family was still around.

Regardless of them, at least when they were with the Prussian army, they had already met Manteuffel, Levinsky, Manstein, and Lundstedt.

It would not be surprising if something else happened, and there were also Manteuffel and Bock in the Russian army.

These Germans are really not good at fighting now, if it were not for Peter III.

It is probably like this. When there is a total war, these bastards can pull the mobilized soldiers to fight well. Without the advantage of manpower, some people are really not good.

Baron Richthofen warmly received Solovyov and Clausewitz. The latter is an acquaintance after all, and the former is the latter's superior. Well, the logic is quite closed.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Baron. It's just that we won't stay here for a long time, and there is no need to prepare guest rooms for us like this."

"After all, you are also a general, Karl is still your chief of staff, and there are distinguished guests together, I don't think you will feel surprised."

This is very strange, which makes him a little confused.

This reminds him that Katya is a little superstitious and once asked a gypsy to tell fortunes.

But Katya doesn't like those dirty gypsy people, so she found a young girl who left that plot of land to tell fortunes.

The words in it were quite accurate. As for Solovyov's face, you can't hit someone, not to mention that "Tsyganova" was still a young girl.

In short, the fortune teller said it very well, but Solovyov has always been proud of women.

Katya thought it made sense. Solovyov had a lover before marrying her.

Solovyov thought that this fortune-telling method was no different from asking for information everywhere in the Temple of Apollo in Delphi and saying some ambiguous words as oracles.

But he has always been in love, and he always has a relationship with young ladies, because he always appears in the court. Not to mention his important position, he treated these young ladies too well in the past, and the ladies and young ladies in St. Petersburg also had a good impression of him.

This is very strange. It is probably because he was born with a good appearance and some knowledge, which led to this situation.

After all, what is popular now is just to have a party, not to toast at the dinner table, but to have art salons such as literary salons, music salons, and painting salons, and to discuss current affairs.

In this regard, he is good at it.

If it were in the 21st century, he would probably be a living fossil.

While he was still thinking about who the distinguished guest would be, someone had already opened a door on the side, and there was probably a guest room behind it.

Then Solovyov saw Princess Charlotte, and this girl would definitely not be here alone.

"Mom, Nicholas's 'boss' is here."

It doesn't sound normal for the queen to appear here, but considering that when King FW and her had the best relationship, they often went on tours incognito, it's not surprising.

But she and King FW are separated, and she would go on a tour by herself, which is very strange.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be here."

"Count, how was your trip to Paris?"

"It was good. After Her Highness Catherine arrived there, she married the Emperor of France and lived a good life."

"Where is your wife?"

"Katya and the children are in Guastalla. She is the sister of the Emperor of France. Princess Rossano invited us there. I was just in a hurry to return to Odessa and meet up with my staff in Brest, so I set off early."

"Leave your pregnant wife there. I think it would be better for Catherine to live in Italy. The climate there is much better than your home."

"That's it, Your Highness."

Queen Louise only brought one daughter with her, which made Soloviev feel confused.

Charlotte is the eldest princess and has always been well-behaved and sensible. It's okay to bring her along. The two younger princesses are not suitable for long-distance travel, but Queen Louise has a little son. Although he is the son of King FW, he suspects that his wife is unfaithful.

So far, the fate of the couple seems to be coming to an end because of these strange things.

If it weren't for Queen Louise's constant support for her husband, and the attitude of the generals to save face even if the queen cheated, and the royal family could not easily divorce a spouse who gave birth to an heir and a spare tire, even in the name of infidelity.

As for Denmark, the situation is different. After all, Christian is not a monarch or a crown prince, so it is inevitable that such a scandal will not be able to hold back.

In Prussia, King FW obviously found it difficult to withstand the pressure. Whoever dared to oppose the queen, Blücher would chop his dog head with a saber.

Although because he is the king, even if he is as impulsive as Blücher, the "old psychopath", he will be somewhat restrained, but he does not want to accompany Gustav IV.

There is enough waste in Europe who lost his throne, don't add King FW.

"You are going to take up a post on the shore of the Black Sea. What is your post this time?"

"Acting military governor of Odessa, responsible for raising supplies for the Danube Corps and maintaining order in the governor's district east of the Dniester River."

"Such a post, I remember, should be held by a general."

Although Queen Louise has big breasts that can't be hidden even with clothes, she is also very smart.

She knows all about Russian official posts even if she is feeding her children in the palace all day.

If she stays in St. Petersburg for a long time, who knows if something will really happen.

You know, although her figure has been a little out of shape because of giving birth to too many children, she is still very attractive.

Alexander prefers plump girls, so he dotes on Polish girls the most. Louisa has been favored in recent years because she has become fatter than before after giving birth to seven daughters.

Louisa has an illusion that she is actually a mistress.

For someone like Queen Louise, it is more fun. Alexander is already very interested in young girls and wives. This queen has a good relationship with him, so it is inevitable that King FW will have some ideas.

However, when Alexander encounters such a situation, he will also say that this is an unjust case. Except for shaking hands in public, he has never even touched the queen's little toe.

It can only be said that the King of Prussia has persecution delusion, and it can even be seen from his face.

The conversation continued. After hearing that the count was promoted again, the queen nodded.

"If you keep going like this, you should be able to become a general soon, right?"

"It's still too early. When General Barclay was promoted to general, a group of lieutenant generals with more seniority opposed it. And some people said that he didn't fight well in Poland and Sweden. I think this statement is ridiculous. These older lieutenant generals are like my father-in-law. They have left the army for a long time, but they still occupy the position of active generals."

"They are probably like the French. Active generals can receive full salaries. We have such people here too. When the old Duke of Brunswick was still there, he had his own territory and didn't care about this. But you should be very clear about our affairs, after all Many of our outstanding young officers have gone to serve in Russia. "

"This is inevitable. You have to support your family. Karl doesn't have to pay rent in St. Petersburg after getting married. He can live with my family. If it were someone else, it might not be so convenient."

"That's true. I'm also worried about the children's studies. It's better for Karl to return to Berlin as soon as possible."

"But young princes don't need to learn military so early. Sometimes it's not good."

Queen Louise also agreed with this statement. In fact, she liked this young man very much. He was nice to hear and had a good attitude, but he was a little lustful.

But speaking of this, his lustful nature made him a good man who cared about his family among the Russian nobles.

But if... Because of her marriage, the queen also involved the need for her family in Mecklenburg-Strelitz to rely on Prussia. Therefore, she has always restrained her thoughts and is unlikely to pursue freedom after becoming a widow like her sister.

What's more, although King FW is a bit useless, this husband is still there. (End of this chapter)
