Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

After talking with Kamensky, Solovyov was promised that once the Russian army launched an offensive in May, all the Russian troops in the direction of Craiova would be under his command.

Now he is also trying to mobilize troops. The biggest problem of Russia is that the country is too big. If the army marches at the normal speed of infantry, it will take a long time to get out of the country.

Many elite corps are now fighting in the Caucasus. Even the Caucasus has taken away some elite grenadiers, which are the troops with a long military tradition in the Russian army. Because of the war in the Caucasus, at least 30,000 elite Russian troops were left in this battlefield to deal with the counterattacks of the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire.

What can give them such confidence is the support of the British.

It is even more convenient to provide funds to the Persians than to European countries. The Governor of British India and the British East India Company can directly raise funds, allocate materials, and even send consultants and troops directly.

British.

In short, before the Duke of Richelieu returned from Crimea as the acting fleet commander and local governor, Soloviev was indeed in charge of this place.

Odessa, a city in itself, is a port city, and it is a bit of a crossover with Rostov. Although it is worth mentioning.

Soloviev arrived here and lived here for only a few days, he felt his DNA moving.

After all, he was born in a family of profiteers, and this label may still follow his son when he grows up.

The most comprehensive profiteer in the family is probably the father Sergei. Because Soloviev himself joined the army, he only paid attention to monopoly patents, but he still couldn't really run a business.

The old count himself wanted to teach this craft, and he had to rely on his two younger sons to grow up. Before that, the relatives in the family who were still housekeepers for the nobles had to learn.

Odessa, this is the paradise of smugglers, and it is here on the Black Sea.

However, thinking of Odessa's damn location, Solovyov also knew that the Black Sea coast was prone to plague, and Odessa had been hit before.

Therefore, before improving the transportation line, he was more concerned about local epidemic prevention measures.

"Sir, why do you arrange it this way?"

Some civil servants came to his official residence and were still a little confused.

"The key is to ensure local hygiene. This is a port city, and it is inevitable that some plague will spread from Persia and Turkey. Especially after the war, you must not underestimate the epidemic prevention measures. Even during the war, there are smugglers who will pass through here, and they must be strictly checked!"

"Sir."

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? The part about disinfection to kill pathogens in the health regulations you use is still adopted from the original text of the memorial I wrote to the emperor. This is a port, and you must pay more attention to safety, especially drinking water and food. If possible, I can also find a way to cure the "Spanish disease", but there are always people who can't control it."

Although this problem probably includes him. But he always had a solution. Katya went to St. Petersburg, and Madame Recamier happened to come.

Madame was French, so it was more suitable for her to live in Odessa, where there were more French people.

Even so, he always felt a little sorry for Katya. Such a good wife allowed him to have a lover outside.

However, considering that Madame Recamier and Katya had a good relationship, it alleviated his guilt.

And the lady wanted to bring Clara here, as mentioned in Katya's letter.

She had already set off to return to St. Petersburg. It seemed that her pregnant body was relatively stable and could support a slow long-distance journey.

The letter said so, and Madame Recamier was also coming, so naturally she had to make the city cleaner and tidier.

If it was really like Paris, Solovyov felt a little sick when he thought about his duel in the garbage dump.

Although he could adapt to the smell of blood and the stench of corpses, that was on the battlefield. If it was in real life, he would take a bath before every time he was intimate with a woman.

In this case, it was natural to improve the local environment. All commercial ports in Russia should refer to this regulation.

These civil servants are all standard minor civil servants, so they can only obey the acting governor.

If it were the Duke of Richelieu, he probably wouldn't do this. He would go around the city as soon as he took office, and then come back and quickly issue orders.

"If there is no objection, the remaining problem is road repair and port dredging. After all, we are a major transportation route. The troops on the left bank of the Danube must rely on us. There must be no problems with the road. The road between the north of the city and the lake needs to be unobstructed. After this section, we are in the west, this Belyaevka. Yes, it is here. We need to build a branch road to ensure the smooth flow of materials."

"Okay, sir."

"Also, don't think about delaying time. I am very familiar with the civil servants' tricks."

These civil servants also have a headache. After all, it is a very uncomfortable thing to have an acting governor who is vigorous and familiar with the business.

If they are looking forward to the return of the Duke of Richelieu, they may also pay attention to one thing.

Solovyov will definitely tell the Duke how to deal with these civil servants.

This period of time was indeed very hard for him as he had to ensure that the road to Galati was open.

Clausewitz was also sent out by him. Kamensky Jr.'s headquarters will definitely move forward from Galati, so it is necessary to ensure that the road from Odessa to Galati is unobstructed.

Later, with the help of Galati and Builera, the roads to Bucharest and the various strongholds along the Danube River will be unobstructed.

Of course, some places will also require him to take special care of them.

"Ploiesti, there is a supply station in this place, but I heard that lubricants should also be produced there, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"That's right. From Ploiesti to the south to Bucharest, and then from here to the west to Craiova, it is necessary to ensure that the supplies can be transported there, and at the same time, they can also be collected locally, so funds are needed."

In short, Solovyov is adjusting Kamensky Jr.'s logistics system according to his own habit of leading troops. Military canned food must indeed be transported by land and water, and then transported to the front line through the supply line to Galati.

Apart from other things, canned food with a shelf life of more than one year is a huge victory in terms of logistics.

Although these canned foods are still very salty, they are better than nothing, and they even save the trouble of collecting them locally in barren areas, which is easy to cause resistance.

But some people probably don't think so. For example, when the French requisitioned supplies, they still used the old method.

Solovyov was also very clear that if he led the Cossacks to fight, he would probably have this problem.

He even wanted to complain that the Turkish ancestry among the Cossacks was probably because the women who were snatched back from Turkey's territory during the Russo-Turkish War became their wives.

However, he didn't want to care about this matter. After all, some Cossacks were really poor and it was not easy to find a wife, not to mention that the pedigree book was sometimes written with problems.

After all, in Romania, the ethnic composition of Romania is not so strong now, and the more mainstream is still a Pan-Greek model.

From the successive dukes of Wallachia and Moldavia sent by the Ottoman Empire, we know that the cultural consciousness here is still influenced by the Greeks.

As for some of the side royal families in the Eastern Roman Empire, in addition to those who went into exile abroad, some chose to settle in this area and were in the Romanian aristocratic system.

In addition, there is the part of Transylvania occupied by Austria.

When Soloviev thought of this problem, he knew that there was still a clue to the supply.

Compared with the practice of eliminating heresy and judging paganism all day long in Central and Western Europe, Russia's requirements for religion are relatively relaxed. Only when the great nobles changed their beliefs under the eyes of the Tsar will they be paid special attention, such as Soloviev's own father-in-law.

In this way, the locals will more or less support the actions of the Russian army, but some pro-Russian nobles were forced to choose to leave the north bank of the Danube and go into exile in Russia after the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807.

It can be said that at this time, facing the front-line situation of the Ottoman Empire, many of the remaining ethnic issues are inseparable from the Austrian Habsburg.

The "brave Michael" who was the last Romanian who could resist the Ottoman Empire was assassinated by Austria.

Serbia's religious issues eventually led them to turn to Russia.

No matter whether it was Greece, Romania or Serbia, when they resisted the Ottoman Empire, they first considered seeking support from Vienna, but then they were all dug up, and no one believed them anymore.

Those who sought help from the French and those who sought help from the British also sought help from Russia. Austria's approach actually laid the seeds for its future expansion in the Balkans. It was inevitable that it would be resisted by these Orthodox forces, which would arouse a strong national consciousness and ultimately lead to war.

What's more, it is probably Austria's behavior of digging holes for teammates that has been running through their rule in Europe since they were driven out of their hometown in Switzerland by their fellow countrymen.

The last victim was probably Russia. In the most recent anti-French alliance, Austria did not have the opportunity to trap Britain, and the war was over.

After looking at the supply lines, Soloviev just looked at the map. Transylvania, vampires, and in short, Austria's "prison" attributes are indeed a wonderful phenomenon that can be imprisoned but not imprisoned.

In the next three months, his attention will also be on transportation. In addition to the main road passing through the outside of Odessa to improve efficiency, there is also the need to establish rail transportation.

The train cannot be pulled here, so we can only use rail carriages to make do.

The Duke of Richelieu will return to Odessa in a few months. When he goes to the front line, he always has to do everything he should do when he is here.

After the task was assigned, it went smoothly. Although the road network here is not perfect, there are always some roadbeds there. In addition, the order issued by Soloviev also requires these local nobles to contribute. The Governor of Odessa can also give them money and provide benefits, so someone will do this.

You know, as long as the war is not over, port cities like Odessa will lose money.

Only after the war with the Ottoman Empire is over can the traditional trade in the Black Sea be restored - of course, the work of human traffickers, which has been going on for more than two thousand years, still exists today.

No matter what, Russia is a feudal serfdom country, and this shackle always needs to be broken.

In Prussia, King FW was quickly released within 18 days, which eventually led to the abolition of serfdom in Prussia.

In Russia, although Paul has realized this problem, his successors are not determined enough.

If it is pushed hard, it is still necessary to use the development of productivity to make this backward system come to the day when it has to withdraw from the stage of history.

This idea came to Solovyov when he was inspecting the construction site on horseback.

Many people on the construction site are still using the most primitive working methods, and there is a lack of machinery in Odessa.

And the enthusiasm of the serfs for work will definitely not be high.

Solovyov can still see some numbness in their eyes.

Although these people would call him "Master" and bow when he rode past on horseback, it didn't seem to be the case.

Different parts of Russia are divided to varying degrees. St. Petersburg looks prosperous, but in the countryside, even around port cities like Odessa, such backward scenes can always be seen.

When he thought about the obstruction of Speransky's constitutional reform, he knew that this road would not be easy.

He tried not to think about these things. In addition to Mrs. Recamier's plan to bring Clara to Odessa, there was also good news that Gauss accepted the request of the Academy of Sciences to come to Odessa to supervise the surveying and mapping work and provide business guidance to the senior high school established by the French in Odessa.

The focus is mainly on surveying and mapping. After publishing a paper related to normal distribution, Gauss did find statistics very interesting. He even prepared to publish a paper, and this was only a small part of his research.

His mind was so genius that he was even considering using mathematical models for evaluation. Unfortunately, the computing speed of the human brain is not as fast as that of a computer, so his idea can only be put on paper.

However, he can still provide great help in surveying and mapping, road surveying and field surveying.

Solovyov said that in order to improve Odessa's function as a transportation hub, a more complete road network is indeed needed.
