Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

When Mrs. Rekamir came to Solovyov with her child in her arms, he also asked Gauss to make an estimate.

Gauss did not expect that because of applied mathematics, he would now work as an evaluator, and he would be back in his father's business.

The two were chatting happily, and Mrs. Recamier came in with her child in her arms. After all, she was older and the same age as Gauss, so she still had some patience.

After talking, Solovyov also came over and hugged Clara first, and then put an arm around Mrs. Rekamir's waist.

A little fatter, but feels great to the touch.

"Julie, you've finally arrived. It's been a hard journey."

"Michelle, I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss you too. In the past, you would pick me up as soon as I arrived at the pier."

"Dr. Gauss and I were discussing some economic matters. Learning mathematics will have many uses."

Gauss also nodded in agreement, but seeing that Solovyov was so close to his mistress and child, he didn't want to be disturbed, so he left with such a polite greeting.

In the following time, the road extending from Odessa to Galati was indeed widened, and the original road surface was reinforced, so that it was at least as high as the Roman Square Avenue, allowing carriages to gallop on it.

Transportation efficiency must also be improved. Solovyov's main work in the city has become to improve the city's environment.

As a port city, it is easy to bring diseases and spread diseases there.

When I think about the history of the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts, several major plagues have passed, and we are approaching the Ottoman Empire. As long as it is related to Mesopotamia, there will be no shortage of plagues.

Although cholera began to spread on a large scale from India in the 19th century to all parts of the world, it was not only spread in the Middle East, but also dysentery, plague, various fevers, and other unspeakable plagues. All in all, it is still very dangerous. of.

If it is not dealt with in time, considering that the current traffic is better than that in the Middle Ages, and a large number of ships come and go from various ports, another big wave is not impossible.

Who knows what will happen.

However, Solovyov, who was already very busy during the day, had to deal with Mrs. Rekamir at night.

His lovers are of high quality, not numerous, and it is true that their emotional interactions are relatively intimate. Is that so?

The two of them didn't have a problem with sleeping at night, but gathered around the crib and looked at their daughter Clara.

"This kid is so cute, Julie."

"Her green eyes are like yours. They seem to be based on the strengths of both of us."

"Your appearance and my wisdom? But now that she is so young and can't speak, what can she show?"

It’s not like you’re going to feel like you’re in Home Alone wherever you go, right?

"You are also very beautiful, but you are a little shorter. It would be nice if my prince were taller."

"Who does it look like?"

"This kid, Grand Duke Nicholas, might be a giant, but it would be nice if you were as big as he is now."

"I know my students well, but I'm already twenty-nine years old, and I can't possibly grow any longer."

"yes."

"The baby looked very healthy. When he was taken out of the delivery room, I was a little worried about the little meat dumpling."

"Aren't you worried about me?"

"your."

"Yeah, me."

Solovyov looked at his wife and found it interesting. She was already in her thirties, and sometimes she still behaved like a little girl.

It seems that she will not suffer any hardship in her life except for the turmoil in Paris, which is not surprising.

"Of course I'm worried about you, but I still have a lot of things to do right now. I have to deal with a lot of things during the day. Although I'm just an acting governor, there are still a lot of things that need to be done here."

"I know, don't worry. Katya can't follow you here. I can organize the salon here. Yulia is getting married, and Christian is here too. I can help you organize the wedding."

"Julie, thank you."

Then came the passionate kiss, Clara was sleeping deeply, she didn’t know what her parents were doing, and such a young child would definitely not understand.

But there was no follow-up progress. Solovyov had to put his lover to bed again, and he still had to continue working, and some documents were always left unfinished.

He was also waiting for new appointments from Petersburg and for the movements of Duke Richelieu in the Crimea.

Young Kamensky also adjusted his battle plan. He would first besiege several fortresses to attract the Ottoman army to these places and eliminate them on the battlefield.

For this reason, the 120,000 Russian troops on the front line were redeployed, with two-thirds of the force deployed on the Bucharest front line, and the rest was not immediately mobilized to Craiova, but was placed in the rear.

After all, not all the troops have arrived yet. When Solovyov wants to mobilize troops, he still likes to use the troops he has commanded in the past, so he also wants a grenadier division and two infantry divisions to be stationed. In addition, there will be Al A division led by Katy Suvorov.

Once everyone is in order, the fight can begin.

Speaking of which, Arkady also participated in the battle in Poland, and now he is a lieutenant general because of the protection of the generalissimo.

Compared with others, sometimes they are still inferior to others. I have always worked hard and gained a lot of military exploits to reach this position.

However, interpersonal relationships are still very important in the Russian army, and Soviet jokes are quite applicable to them.

However, it does not seem to apply in the Soviet Union. After all, the children of marshals and generals often go to other jobs. The one who truly inherits his father's legacy has his father dying young.

Only after the personnel were assembled could the fighting begin on his side. What worried him even more was the poor traffic situation in Wallachia.

That was not the defense area he was responsible for. Apart from that, it was in Petersburg. When the war was over, could Barclay ensure the approval of the entire battle plan in front of Alexander?

He still lacked confidence in this kind of thing. After all, the opinion of the General Staff Headquarters still supported Kamensky's original plan.

In Petersburg, Alexander is indeed holding a state meeting, but now in front of the table, instead of his like-minded friends in the past, most of them have become flattering palace ministers.

Speransky's constitutional reforms failed to pass, but he was now given a new position as Secretary of State in the Russian Imperial Government, de facto Prime Minister of Russia.

In Russia, the imperial prime minister, who is generally a first-class civil servant, is also the pinnacle of a civilian career and is usually held concurrently by the foreign minister. This time Alexander re-appointed Speransky, but he was still a second-class civil servant and a current member of the Privy Council.

Although the civil service level is not first-class, his status happens to be the head of the civil service.

The few people with first-class civil official titles now are veterans, and most of them have begun to withdraw from political activities.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest plan submitted by the Danube Army. Please take a look at it."

"Barclay, I heard that Count Kamensky is very confident and ready to end the war within the year?"

"Yes, but this just shows confidence. The Turks are still very difficult opponents."

"We have increased our troops to 120,000, and mobilized 50,000 troops to the Caucasus. We should use this war to completely eliminate the threat from the south, so that the Turks will not dare to attack the Danube and the Caucasus for at least fifteen years. What’s your opinion on the matter?”

"Yes, Your Majesty. But the Turks are always evil. Who knows what they will do."

"Then we must destroy their military power. Solovyov's memorial is indeed well written. We must also improve Odessa's transportation and make use of the captured ports. However, I also want to hear from you. "Many of the people here have military backgrounds. Speransky is a civil servant, but he is also familiar with administrative management. Everyone can speak freely on this issue."

Speransky looked at Balasov. In fact, Solovyov had offended the Minister of Police before setting off.

Solovyov was very particular about military merit, especially in combat units, so he looked down on Balashov's unwillingness to serve in the Caucasus and thought he was a coward.

Moreover, Balashov also dislikes Solovyov, a "pro-French element", and there will definitely be a struggle between the two.

Balashov was able to unite some conservative ministers to attack his reform plan, and he would naturally contact some generals to oppose this battle plan.

At this time, it depends on Barclay and Peter Volkonsky. Although they are the Tsar's confidants, they are somewhat afraid of the position of Minister of Police.

After all, in this job, it is very easy to make up accusations, check letters, and fabricate some facts.

Unfortunately, Balasov is also a soldier. Although his main resume is in the garrison, he was promoted to the Minister of Police.

His promotion was not delayed. This has been a special situation in Russia since the empress's time.

A flattering minister can also make false claims at the state council, and...

"Mikhail Mikhailovich, look at Balasov, he is speaking again."

"Let him talk it over. Solovyov is an outstanding professional soldier, and I trust him very much."

"Isn't it because of his sister? Although Miss Adelaide is an adopted daughter, she is really a beauty, but she is too young."

Speransky thought about himself, he could almost be Adela's father. After this child came back from Paris, he often came over to help him take care of his room.

He is such a good kid, but if he marries her, she may not feel happy. After all, he works eighteen hours a day.

However, Adela could still notice some changes in the details of Alexander's work. He began to emphasize order, which was caused by military habits.

The child told herself that some of Alexander's preferences were summed up by her brother when he was on duty in the palace.

To deal with people like Balashov, it seems that this method must be adopted.

Speaking of which, even Arakchiev has been on the battlefield. He also emphasizes order and does not like deserters so much.

Under the Tsar of Petersburg, many political forces had emerged and were fighting each other openly and secretly.

Barclay returned to his seat, and after speaking a few words to Speransky, he began to frown.

What Balasov was talking about there seemed to make some sense, but it was also ridiculous.

He didn't even have any experience in commanding an army independently, but speaking of it, if 120,000 troops were scattered on the Danube River, they might not be able to keep track of each other.

Barclay himself did not want to have a dispute with Balashov. He had more important things to do, which was to improve the system of the Russian army, reforming the artillery under Arakcheev, and reforming the infantry since Generalissimo Suvorov. On the basis of the reform of the cavalry, the entire system of the army was improved.

Therefore, he was unwilling to speak at this time. This kind of villain was jealous of others in the palace and did not make many enemies.

Speransky will speak soon, and Barclay has also read his speech. They are all field investigation reports in the Odessa area, many of which are written by the great mathematician Dr. Gauss, and Solovio. Husband's master plan for the Odessa Governorate.

These are all logistical issues. Let’s talk about military affairs. Grand Duke Constantine and Prince Bagration are here today. If they two speak, Balasov still has to lean aside.

After all, one is Alexander's most trusted brother, the other is the beloved general valued by the Tsar for two dynasties, and he is married to the Tsar's cousin - even though the prince's wife recently had an affair with Metternich.

Unless the two of them say a word today, Barclay is not prepared to stand out.

In his position as Minister of War, Bagration would not cause trouble for him. He understood after seeing the troubled look in his eyes.

After Balasov finished speaking, he stood up.

"I came back from the Danube front line and commanded several battles there. I once crossed the Danube to fight the Turks. I think the opinions of Kamensky and Solovyov are worth considering. In military theory Among them, we also advocate the method of winning by surprise. If we pile the troops on the front, have we considered that during the battle of Austerlitz, the Austrian cavalry received wrong instructions, which ultimately led to many troops being blocked. On the way?"

When he spoke, he also took into account the Tsar's own feelings. Alexander was still a bit stingy on this issue, but the Austrian staff system that Bagration was mainly targeting when he spoke had nothing to do with him.

"We should concentrate our superior forces here, Prince."

"Dear Minister of Police, have you seen the deployment of the flanks? Also, by opening up Vidin and Nis, we can let the Serbs who have been fighting the Turks join the battlefield. They have defected to our country from Austria. , just because of our religion and national sentiments.”

This is true, and Balasov has nothing to say.

Moreover, he still couldn't move Bagration.

As for the next step, Bagration was quite clear: "If we can arm 20,000 to 30,000 Serbs, we can also march all the way to the Aegean Sea, first to Salonika, and then to Greece and Thrace. "

This inevitably ignited Alexander's ambition. His grandmother had planned the future for him and Constantine back then.

Therefore, he also decided to issue an order and implement it according to Kamensky's new plan. (End of chapter)
