Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 314 016 If this is done, the Winter Palace will be like the Blue House

The agreement to be signed with the British is like a vegetable market during the negotiation.

Although Czartoryski brought private goods when working, he was always proud of it. In the past, he wanted to abduct Louisa to his arms, but the battalion commander of the Guards got there first and got Louisa's sister.

Now Louisa has five girls, and it is obviously not easy to abduct them. He can only focus on his career.

The point is, the great cause of Poland's restoration, this is something Alexander thought of fulfilling for his brother who brought his talent to St. Petersburg.

For example, after defeating the French, as the Tsar, he has a good relationship with the Queen of Prussia. At that time, he will make an agreement with the British to find some places to compensate Prussia, and then let Poland around Warsaw become independent, which can also serve as a wall between the German countries and Russia.

As long as Poland does not commit suicide and acts as a cushion in the middle, it can still survive for a while.

The Tsar actually acquiesced to Poland's independence, which was also because their relationship was strong enough.

But the premise was that Russia could only come to Europe for arbitration after defeating the French, not like now.

If time went on for a long time, Alexander would easily lose interest in the plan that Czartoryski was selling.

He had no patience, and as a Tsar, his power seemed to be infinite.

If it weren't for the light color of the Winter Palace's exterior, people who didn't know would have thought they were in the wrong place.

There is no Western Ice House in St. Petersburg. Lubyanka is in Moscow and has always been the location of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Solovyov was very concerned about the date when the final contract was finalized at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now it was March again, and the climate began to warm up. After the thawing season, the Russian army could be mobilized to the western region and be ready to fight abroad at any time.

Moreover, after Britain and Russia confirmed the alliance treaty, other countries would join in, even Austria, which had long been interested.

Of course, what might be worse than the historical environment is that Archduke Karl got married more than ten years in advance. If he could not go to war because his wife gave birth, it would be questionable who would lead the troops in Italy.

The senior commanders of Austria cannot be explained by a lack of successors. The old men defeated by Napoleon in Italy were all excellent in their work. Among the generals who can be seen in the future, the more outstanding ones are Archduke Karl himself and the frequent guest at the Vienna New Year Concert.

Of course, this is an off-field factor. Solovyov did not know that Archduke Karl was living a good life in Teschen. His letter to Archduke Constantine mentioned military theories and information exchanges between the two countries on the current state of preparation for war.

At present, many parts of the coalition can be said to be a makeshift team, which is essentially an old-fashioned 18th-century army, but now the times have changed.

Let alone what the Austrians have done, it is a bit too hasty to make military preparations at this time. How many people can be trained by then is also a problem. Moreover, Russia does not lack brave officers and soldiers, but lacks well-trained officers and soldiers, especially officers.

At this time, it is too late to make a good war in 1805, but it can be used in future wars.

The coalition forces were able to fight against the French army, and they were able to win in 1813 with the advantage of numbers after several bloodsheds in several battlefields. Even so, they suffered several consecutive defeats until the "Justice in the East Army" in Leipzig.

Speaking of which, the armies of Saxony and Württemberg did this. It can only be said that the German instructors invited by the Japanese Army University were not so professional and did not analyze the overall situation.

Soloviev thought of this problem. Although he copied the answer mechanically, he could still find the answer.

The mistake Russia made in 1805 was that the stall was too big and had to fight against several different camps on several fronts.

When Soloviev just returned to St. Petersburg last year, the elders of Serbia began to seek support from Russia after their petition failed. Under the matchmaking of Czartoryski, Alexander had confirmed that he would support Serbia.

This is Russia's established national policy. In the past few wars with the Ottoman Empire, Russia supported the anti-Turkish forces in the Balkan Peninsula behind it. This was also mentioned in the negotiations between the empress and the Ottoman Empire in the past. Russia still wants to protect Christians in the Ottoman Empire, especially those who believe in the Eastern Church.

Croatia is already in the hands of Austria, and Russia has always been the arbitrator and protector of the rest of the Yugoslav peoples.

However, in Europe, the core task now is to target France. Since Russia has interfered with the Ottoman Empire at this time, it will inevitably be used by the French.

Britain and France often take advantage of this sentiment of the Ottoman Empire and instigate behind the scenes to distract Russia's attention in several major directions.

This time, the French ambassador to Constantinople, who was not successful in the Second Anti-Japanese War, finally found an opportunity to avenge his previous shame.

Because of Russia's aggressive attitude in several directions, the Ottoman Empire actually had to confront Russia alone in the Danube River Basin, which also involved Russia's power in the south.

In fact, it is not possible to have both Europe and Asia at this time, after all, the French are too strong at that time.

And Russia is facing a large opponent in more than one direction. The war with Persia has entered the second year. The two sides have been fighting in the Caucasus Mountains. There are also several khanates in Central Asia, but they are far away from Europe and have always had a bad relationship with Persia.

The Khiva Khanate, the Bukhara Emirate and the Kokand Khanate have always practiced slavery. Each khanate has tens of thousands of slaves captured from Persia and India. Therefore, the attitude of the Persian Qajar Dynasty towards these countries has always been unfriendly.

In addition, the khans of the Kazakh Khanate, which are also the remnants of the Golden Horde, have a bad relationship with Transoxiana. They will not be involved in the action of restraining Russia.

At that time, the Serbian affairs made Soloviev think of something.

It is not about Walter defending Sarajevo, but what actions can be taken in Serbia to deal with the Ottoman Empire.

Since we have to fight, we have to be heavier, and if we are lucky, Serbia can be split up, which is generally beneficial to future actions in the Balkans.

If it had not succeeded and history had been restored in the end, the seeds of resistance would have been sown in Serbia, Greece and other places.

It is just hard to say what happened in the end and what means were taken.

With less time involved in the Ottoman Empire, more energy could be focused on the positive side. The conflict between Britain and France also involved the whole of Europe.

When Czartoryski came to the Winter Palace, it happened to be the day when the captains of the Guards came to the meeting.

Alexander would personally preside over the meeting of the Guards to reorganize the army and formally announce the conditions agreed with Britain.

However, this does not look like formal preparations for war and diplomatic activities.

It looks like a nest like the Blue House, which is also caused by the diplomacy of ganging up. If you have to stand on the side, it is a kind of black humor that the diplomacy of the great powers in the 21st century is still ganging up, and the means are very clumsy.

This can prove that many people do not learn from history and cannot learn lessons from it.

Czartoryski did take out a memorandum against Serbia.

Seeing him like this, Solovyov suspected that he was a spy sent by foreign forces, controlling the important Ministry of Foreign Affairs and dealing a fatal blow to Russia's foreign policy, which was considered an explosion from the inside.

Moreover, there are more than one Poles who have some status in Russia and are messing around, and there will be more in the future.

He couldn't say anything and could only wait and see.

As for the content of the negotiations with the British, it is true that all the commanders of the Guards now know it. The diplomatic statement will also be made known to the French in the future, and they will definitely not accept it. It is impossible to spit out what has been eaten.

Although the St. Petersburg Alliance Treaty has not been officially signed, the round of negotiations between Britain and Russia, which was initiated by Novosilitsev, a member of the "Secret Committee", during his trip to London, has confirmed the following important principles:

Clear the French troops in northern Germany and Hanover; restore the independence of the Netherlands and Switzerland, the former strengthened by the annexation of Belgium, and the latter strengthened by the annexation of Geneva and Savoy; restore the Kingdom of Sardinia; France completely withdraws from Italy and guarantees the independence of the Kingdom of Naples; establish an order in Europe that guarantees the independence of all European countries.

In addition, there are some contents that have nothing to do with the officers on the scene, that is, Austria will own part of the territory of southern Germany and Italy, which confirms the ownership of the Italian and southern German territories in the joint declaration of Austria and Russia.

In this way, Austria will obtain Salzburg, Brisgau and parts of the north of the Po and Adda rivers, and restore its past strength in both regions.

As for Belgium, it is somewhat out of reach for the Habsburg court, and it can be regarded as a territorial issue left over from a pile of dowries in the past.

It seems that there will indeed be a war, and the commanders and generals of the Guards will lead some squads on the battlefield, while Solovyov will still command a regiment.

The organization of the Guards Chasseur Regiment has been determined, but Solovyov's rank of colonel will have to wait.

He has always been very seriously restricted by age on the issue of military rank, and his promotion speed is quite slow.

But there is a problem that the British have never been willing to give up, that is, Malta, an important Mediterranean stronghold that they have finally captured. No matter whether it is Russia or France, no matter how they protest, the British will not withdraw.

It is this point that led to the French not withdrawing from the lowlands, and the two sides finally broke out in war.

The British were unwilling to give up on this issue, which also led to the Tsar not signing after the diplomatic representatives of both sides signed, and the diplomatic treaty was delayed for a long time.

At this time, the Guards had to go back to prepare for war, which meant that the Tsar himself had to get involved.

The trouble is here. The Russian Tsar has not appeared on the battlefield in person for a long time since Peter the Great.

Although the 18th century was still a century with more empresses, this was not a reason. After all, there were two adult male emperors, Peter III and Paul, but Paul was a trainer in St. Petersburg, and Peter III was overthrown in a few months.

Some people in the Guards knew what level Alexander was at, but they could not elaborate.

He still collected his magical powers and stayed in the rear to concentrate on the anti-French alliance.

But Alexander was still very useful in diplomatic occasions. He had some special skills when negotiating with monarchs and ministers of various countries, and he was also liked by ladies of various countries.

As for preparations for war, it was obvious that among the commanders of the Guards, only Solovyov was a colonel. He went back to train the troops directly, and he also followed the principles passed down by Suvorov.

It was precisely because of this that Constantine originally planned to let him participate in the training of the several large infantry regiments of the Guards, not just to take care of his chasseur work.

Solovyov knew that he would be assigned some work that he could not actually command, so he made preparations in advance. He had not been idle for the past few months. At least the shooting training, formation training, and simulation on the exercise field of the Guards Chasseurs were not missed.

However, because he was so hardworking, the commanders in St. Petersburg more or less regarded him as a pretty boy who could only please the emperor and the queen, and used the heavy training to show himself, completely ignoring the fact that Paul promoted him not because of his good looks, but because of his military exploits and professional ability.

Let alone what others did, in the previous war, Suvorov personally commanded, and although the logistics of Austria were terrible, the generals in the front were more or less strong.

This time, everyone knew that they had to face Napoleon.

Solovyov trained his troops in this way, hoping that he and his brothers would have a greater chance of coming back alive from the battlefield, rather than learning from the British 50 years later and becoming the origin of a famous word.

Ah, that's right, it's "cannon fodder", which is worthless except for the courage it shows.

If we can't train well now, who can guarantee that we can perform well in the key battles of the Third Anti-French Coalition War?

In short, while Solovyov was writing, he also had to train hard to understand this basic concept of war.

In addition to training, there are also strategic and tactical parts. Anyway, you can't learn from someone in a blank space. You also have to issue an infantry drill manual or Hegel's dialectics

These are indeed not available, but Solovyov did see that young officers always go to the actresses
