Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 448 025  The Russian Emperor's German Legion?

Chapter 448 025 Russian Emperor German Corps?

Although Maria was angry, she quickly calmed down. She even said that and mentioned Little Pearl. She was in a bad mood anyway. She had to hide from her sleeping son and couldn't wake him up.

"Martha, listen to me. For me, the emperor I am loyal to is probably Pavel Petrovich. It was his original request that I come to His Majesty's side. I know"

"I do miss my father a little. He suffered such misfortune, and the regicide was not punished in full."

"You can't kill everyone. Among the people who rebelled, these people are still divided into light and heavy."

Maria looked at him and saw that he did have some shadows of her father. Solovyov was willing to work for Paul, probably because he was also a tsar. He didn't want to do serious hegemony. He was more interested in fighting with the big landlords and was determined to liberate the serfs.

This example, the two of them didn't know. The Decembrists always believed that Paul had virtues, and these things were often selectively forgotten.

"I'm really worried about what you will teach my two younger brothers. Fortunately, you have a position in the army and you don't have to be in St. Petersburg all day."

"I am just responsible for the studies of the two princes together with General Langzdorf. The teaching outline and exercises are probably my masterpieces. Don't worry so much. I'm not the only one who is a teacher."

After hearing this, Maria just smiled.

"Okay, thank you for coming to accompany me for these days before your injury is fully healed. You should also report back to St. Petersburg in a few days, right?"

"No need to go to St. Petersburg, go directly to Riga, go directly to His Highness Constantine."

"Okay, go to my brother. I still hope that you can bring our family of three back home."

Then Maria kissed him.

"This is a reward for you, Mishka, but don't call me Malushenka in public. It's too intimate. It's only in front of those two children that there will be no misunderstanding."

However, the misunderstanding may be even greater with this kiss now.

And Solovyov now knows that Maria is more or less interested in him. With her personality before she got married, she would have jumped on him a long time ago. Having a child has made her more stable.

"Well, I'm getting married soon, and this will always cause misunderstandings. It would be best if the war could end in the summer, and I can go to Moscow to get married in the fall."

"That's your wish. War is always a matter for you men. But when my grandmother was still alive, she always said that it was a pity that I was not a boy."

"If you were a boy, I'm afraid you wouldn't be allowed to go to the battlefield now."

Soloviev was still ready to kiss his hand and say goodbye, and return to his suite. Maria didn't want to let him go easily.

"Mishka, do you want to stay with me for a while longer?"

"I'm afraid not. The Jelgava Palace is not like the Winter Palace. I can find a way to hide everything there, but not here. There are many outsiders, especially the Queen of Prussia. People around her are likely to gossip. Don't be like..."

"I know, don't be like the older of my two unmarried sisters."

Maria and Catherine are relatively close, so she didn't mention their names directly.

"Yes, your reputation has always been good, and so is Elena. She is very smart, and you, like Alexandra in Württemberg, still know the rules."

Soloviev has more to think about now. Although Maria is not the kind of difficult and annoying little goblin, her actions always bring a little trouble.

Don't think too much, and go back to the suite quickly.

Now he has to consider that Napoleon has occupied most of Germany, and Austria has been defeated and paid compensation. It is expected that the anti-French alliance will be torn apart by him again this time.

The current situation of Prussia and Russia advancing and retreating together will eventually become Russia making peace with France first and then trying to preserve Prussia because of the absolute gap in power.

If things go wrong, there will be more troubles. Referring to the fact that the Duchy of Brunswick no longer exists, the "Black Duke" sent his wife and children to Sweden, and sent other family members to London as much as possible, so we can know the possible ending of Prussia.

It is not unexpected that there will be a "Berlin Governor-General Commissioner's District", which means that the Kingdom of Prussia, which developed from the Elector of Brandenburg, may be destroyed this time.

But the Tsar is such a face-saving person, Alexander will not let Prussia end easily, he will mediate.

As for the current situation, Russia actually helps for the interests of the German countries, but always encounters pig teammates, and obviously there are complaints in the country. I am afraid that more and more nobles in Petersburg will advocate peace.

However, these people probably made this decision because they suffered great losses in Europe.

If they make peace with France, they will have to join the Continental Blockade, which Britain cannot accept.

In terms of strategic conception, it is actually much more important than being with a woman.

Besides, although Maria has a good relationship with him, he does not want to develop it further, but this is not something he can decide. After all, Maria's status is much higher than his, and she is very proactive.

If Luisa had not fallen and fainted once, there would probably not be this sweet but hidden relationship.

Maria is not as good at keeping secrets as Louisa. Who knows what will happen.

Especially, he is about to get married, at least he can't let down little Katya, this child should have a happy marriage, even if necessary, Solovyov has considered that these feelings will always cool down after the passion and love.

Even if there are children, it will be like this, marriage is the most stable form.

And this is still Louisa's matchmaking, in fact, Solovyov can understand her meaning.

Think about little Natalia, Louisa just let her marry into the Goncharov family, which is considered a good result after getting into trouble.

But in terms of emotions, it will definitely not be cut off, time will still pass.

What he has to consider now is mainly the issue of establishing a new legion.

Napoleon will definitely weaken the military power of the German princes, but he will also strengthen his German allies and Jerome Bonaparte's new country, the Kingdom of Westphalia.

If this continues, many soldiers will eventually lose their jobs or are still in prisoner-of-war camps. If some of them can be found, some officers may be added.

He has already conceived the idea of ​​using officers from various German princes to form an army or to improve the structure of the staff.

The current facts have proved that the current staff officers of the Russian army are still relatively lacking in training.

Moreover, to keep up with the business capabilities, they still need to be trained in war.

Russia has always had a tradition of letting these foreign officers be masters. Although soldiers always complain, Russian officers with culture and ability are indeed scarce resources.

When I went to Riga to meet Constantine, this issue must be raised.

After returning, he also had to write a general outline before going to bed.

Maria's matter was just a small episode. He had not yet remembered it. The more important thing was the big thing.

For this reason, he had to write a letter to seek the opinion of Grand Duke Constantine himself.

Because Jelgava and Riga were so close, Constantine's reply came very quickly, asking him to go to Riga for a good talk.

At present, both armies are resting. The Russian military has the quartermaster general to deal with the staff work. Soloviev's injury has not healed yet, and Langgeron even gave him a vacation.

Even this French guy who loves to complain asked his chief of staff to go back and get married as soon as possible.

If you don't know, you would think Langgeron has developed a bug routine to spit out the bento.

However, to marry little Katya, you naturally have to wait until the engagement period is over, and the Saltykov family didn't have any moles, which was probably the result of the old count of the Stroganov family coming forward to be a peacemaker.

After all, he is also the only first-class civil servant who is actually on duty at present, and he is also a big shot in the political, academic and artistic circles. His daughter-in-law is a matchmaker, so this face must be given.

It is considered a high-end bureau, and you can't get on the table if you are not of a high enough level.

Now in Riga, Grand Duke Constantine lives here with his Polish mistress, the sister of the Polish girl, but he didn't take his daughter here, which is more or less considering the feelings of this girl.

However, considering that his sister-in-law also had Sonya, he simply gave his daughter to the Queen Mother to take care of.

Queen Mother Maria was helpless about the fact that both of her sons had girls, but Sonya was the older granddaughter and very smart, unlike her father who was all about muscles.

In this way, the Queen Mother kept her granddaughter with her and ignored the absurd things of her second son.

But Alexander has given birth to girls even to his mistresses, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

At least Constantine really had a son with a short-term mistress. If his wife had not run back to her parents' home, there might be room for maneuver.

Let's not talk about the Queen Mother first. Constantine was very happy when he saw Solovyov.

"Fortunately, you are injured, but you look healthy."

"Your Highness, this is also good luck. The bayonet did not hit the vital parts, otherwise it would be very dangerous."

"Would you like some coffee?"

"I think tea is better. If there is no black tea, Ivan tea is also fine."

"I'm afraid it has a cinnamon flavor and you can't get used to it."

"As long as it is not mint, cinnamon is warm in nature."

"I don't understand oriental medicine, what does this mean?"

Grand Duke Constantine, if his command and bravery, as well as muscles, are combined with Alexander's brain and high emotional intelligence, this would be fine.

But think about it, it is unlikely, this is not them.

Since he doesn't understand that cinnamon is a warming medicine, he can only speak in a popular way.

"Drinking hot tea can warm the body, and if it has cinnamon, it will be even warmer."

"I see!"

The Grand Duke is not completely brainless, he quickly understood.

"Your Highness, you asked me to come here because of this legion. I have also thought about it. According to our divisional organization, the soldiers are mainly recruited from the Germans along the Baltic Sea and the Volga River, and some soldiers come from various German princes. In addition, there are officers. By then, a large number of Prussian officers will surely retire. Retirement means unemployment, and they will still have to come to us to find work."

"A division-level organization requires 4 to 6 cavalry regiments and 5 to 7 infantry regiments. You can list the personnel organization here and I will present it to you when I return to St. Petersburg."

"In addition, if we make peace with France. Although this idea should not be raised at this time, we still have to consider the situation on other fronts."

Russia is not fighting only one war. It is currently confronting the Ottoman Empire along the Danube. In addition, there are also fighting the "half-orcs" such as the Dagestani and Chechens in the Caucasus, and fighting endlessly in Azerbaijan and Persia.

In addition, the attitudes of the British and other anti-French allies must be considered.

Here, the Prussian division does not need to be taken care of. After all, the king is too cowardly and the queen has to participate in mediation.

But the attitudes of Britain and Sweden need to be considered.

Solovyov has met the king of Sweden, and he knew from the time he first came that he was capricious and emotional, and there were some signs of mental illness.

Although the marriage issue angered the Russian royal family, they were still real relatives and allies. I'm afraid that when Alexander first ascended the throne, he used the diplomatic insult to vent his sister's anger and declared war to deal with Sweden.

In the second armed neutrality and the third and fourth anti-French alliances, the two sides have always fought side by side, but it is not surprising that the Swedish king really wants to fight Russia in turn.

As for Britain.

If its naval problems are not considered, the army may send people to Sweden, but the size of this army should be very limited.

The ulcer in Spain was caused by the ambitious Napoleon himself, but Britain and France have invested a lot of resources there, which may be more beneficial to Russia.

If Britain is involved in the Peninsular War, the army that comes to Sweden will be relatively limited.

When the main force of the Russian army is not moving and is active on several major fronts, the amount of troops deployed in the Finnish battlefield facing Sweden is also a problem.

"Then what do you think?"

"Existence is everything, everything is for existence. If we want to build such a legion, we can draw out the real Russian legion from some places and join the battlefield on the flank. We can even use these military operations to train soldiers and find out the shortcomings in the war."

"The idea is not bad, but what do you mean? I remember you haven't attended any philosophy classes."

"I haven't been to Königsberg to listen, but people who have listened may not be able to say such existentialist philosophical words."

However, Solovyov opened his mouth and let it slip that there should be no existentialism at this time.

But Konstantin listened and felt that it made some sense.

After all, this is still Yan Laoxi's existentialist philosophy.
