Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 494 006 Solovyov now bears a grudge against the King of Sweden
In Sevastopol, Solovyov carefully surveyed the defenses of several major beaches and ports during the day and made suggestions for modification. At night, he came back to take care of his wife, telling her stories to coax her to sleep, and before going to bed, he also instructed the servants to give her a full set of special nursing services for pregnant women.

If he wanted to deepen the relationship between husband and wife, he would do it himself. He was somewhat obsessed with his young, beautiful and lively wife.

After coaxing her to bed, I have to summarize the day's activities and analyze the situation in the Black Sea.

Katya is so adorable when she is sleeping. When Solovyov rented a house, he took into consideration that it would be inconvenient for them to be together after she became pregnant. Therefore, when he chose to work, he would find a place alone.

Major General Komnenos is also here. He is old and can't sleep. He is also worried about his wife, after all, she can still get pregnant at the age of 43.

The general's family lived on the second floor, Solovyov lived on the third floor, and the Komnenos' servants lived on the first floor.

As for Solovyov, he was the queen's lover, and little Katya was once the queen's personal maid. Their living habits were similar to those of Louisa, very simple. On their honeymoon trip, they were even accompanied by only a groom and a wet nurse who took care of little Katya on a daily basis.

This kind of scene is probably something that can be seen frequently among the queen's maids.

"Why aren't you sleeping at this hour, Christopher Malkovich? I am very young, but you are about the same age as my father. You should really take care of your rest at this age."

"Thank you for your advice, Misha. Old people have frequent urination and it's hard for them to rest at this time. And I also want to get some fresh air at this time."

"I just wanted to put my wife to sleep and then write some stuff. It includes some ideas about the defense of Crimea and the early plan for fighting the Ottoman Empire. I don't believe the Turks will be willing to give up. They have been fighting with us since the time of Ivan the Terrible. Although the first invasion was initiated by Ivan the Terrible, in the subsequent wars, the Turks had to fight back after being defeated almost every time. Of course, the time when they got help from the Swedes was an exception."

"Is there any news now?"

"What news do you mean?"

Christopher was also very clear at this time. He was not like Solovyov, who had always heard about the decision-making in the court.

Therefore, he did not have that accurate idea.

But at this time, even if his ability is not strong, one thing is clear.

"Are there any movements from the Swedes?"

"I can only say that they are restless, but their war preparedness is very poor. The King of Sweden even returned the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle that the Emperor had given him. This is a serious diplomatic insult. If things go wrong, there might really be a war this winter."

"I hope there won't be any war. We should have peace for a while. As for the Ministry of War, just looking at the projects that need to be filled at present, the equipment of dozens of infantry regiments and grenadier regiments, as well as the new dragoon regiments established for the expansion of the army, everything will cost money."

Komnenos's words reminded Solovyov that Russia's military expansion and preparations for war would definitely be useful in other areas if it did not go to war with France in the next few years.

This also includes taking action against the unfriendly Persia, Sweden and the Ottoman Empire, and it would be best if they could make them pay compensation.

At this time, war is certainly inevitable.

As for what the Tsar was going to do, Solovyov was busy getting married recently and had no idea what Alexander was doing.

But one thing is clear, Alexander was indeed very dissatisfied with King Gustav, and this was a total emotional outburst.

According to the report that reached Tafred Province two days ago, Alexander's good attitude towards the King of Sweden was indeed ignored.

But the war had not yet begun, and even 1807 had not yet passed. He was too far away to analyze anything. It was during his honeymoon trip that he wanted to see the situation in the Ottoman Empire because of his location.

As for Sweden, he actually still has some PTSD about Finland.

Even in Finland today, if the Russian army enters, it will inevitably encounter a security battle in the rear, and the guerrillas will definitely be very active.

After all, there are so many villages and settlements scattered throughout the Finnish forests that the Russian army cannot control them one by one. They can only focus on the main roads and make better arrangements.

If Solovyov's idea was followed, sending a Cossack detachment directly to Gotland and southern Sweden when the Baltic Sea was frozen the thickest to strike them would also be able to inflict heavy damage on the Swedes.

But he didn't know that Bukholden's current arrangement was to have Laevsky and Bagration stationed in Vyborg, ready to cross the border at the first sign of trouble, without even a standardized plan.

It was these foreigners in the Russian General Staff, including the Dutch and Swedes, who, based on the situation in Sweden and the lessons learned from the previous Russo-Swedish War, developed a more appropriate plan to take action against the main settlements in Finland.

Based on the information he already has, Solovyov can actually determine that there will always be a big one, which does not count as restoring history.

"Money is an issue, maybe we can get some benefits through Sweden, but there are other places to consider."

When he was at home some time ago, he also learned that his father was actually running a beer business in Ireland and London. This kind of personal business is actually more cautious and easier to manage.

Given the size of the country, who knows whether the British would default on their debts or confiscate the money. In the past, because they owed money to the Dutch, they targeted this group of people named Fan all over the world, and ultimately succeeded in partially defaulting on their debts.

Therefore, he was not sure, and the pro-British people suffered great losses after the Treaty of Tilsit. After all, they had to resolutely implement the Continental Blockade.

The operation of assets already overseas is a separate matter. Trade is going to be interrupted anyway. Selling beer to the UK is part of the internal circulation and will not be a problem.

"It seems that you have some business skills, Misha. Many people in Petersburg talk about you behind your back. They all know that you have a calculating habit. It's a family tradition."

"Yes, this background is unavoidable. But if we go to war with the Swedes, we may be able to gain some benefits, or even control their domestic industries."

"You don't want compensation?"

"The compensation is only a one-time payment. What we need is to play the long game and catch the big fish. Sweden has many unique industries. Even if they just sell the products in their workshops to Germany and France, they can still make a profit."

Because Solovyov had a good relationship with the young ladies, he almost developed a sexual relationship with Maria. These sisters did not like their stupid Swedish cousin very much, so naturally they would not have a good attitude towards the stupid king.

In Sweden, where Louisa's sister was the queen, he would definitely be the most determined advocate of war and would want to go to war with Sweden.

Sweden is so angry now, we have to hit it back, and we will also gain greater benefits in the future.

Napoleon couldn't let it get away with it. After all, his uncle had said that all Swedish issues would be handled by Alexander. Even if it was a temporary verbal promise, he might cheat later. But the situation here would inevitably develop into a serious conflict between Russia and Sweden. Instead of Bernadotte taking over, it would be better to let Louisa's nephew, Crown Prince Gustav, ascend the throne. After all, he had given birth to two children with Louisa, so there was some blood relationship between them. It was just that no one could find out about this at the moment.

Even the sensitive and gossipy Queen Louise simply held little Elizabeth in her arms and thought the child’s green eyes were beautiful.

For both public and private reasons, we should support Crown Prince Gustav to take the throne rather than allowing the throne to be transferred.

Of course, Solovyov also didn't know that Bernadotte had failed to treat the prisoners well, so the Swedes did not have a good impression of him.

The only problem is that some Swedes may ask the French emperor for instructions and ask Napoleon to make a decision.

According to the current relationship between France and Russia, if it is finally concluded that France is involved in the war in Spain, it will try to win over Russia in Erfurt, and Sweden should be included in the price it offers.

However, this is not certain. Solovyov likes plans, but he doesn't like presets. If everything goes according to the preset, little Katya will be very unhappy in her life. She will be separated from her husband and her property will be seized by her husband's nephews. It was Nesherrode's wife who helped her settle down. She will spend the rest of her life in the palace and the orphanage she built.

Not only did she become his wife, she also got pregnant with his child, and their married life was very sweet.

Over the years, Solovyov did notice some changes, especially the Fourth Anti-French Alliance, which caused him to lose the last major battle. He also killed several French marshals in the process, which made him look very powerful.

Although he is only a "young general" now, he is already well-known in Europe in a literal sense. The emperor's nephew has given him several setbacks, and even when he personally participated in the battle, he was not too inferior in the fight.

Things are no longer that simple. The entire Fourth Anti-French Alliance has changed greatly in content, except for the results.

I'm afraid that what happens next will really require the person involved to come out.

General Komnenos was quite old after all, and he felt a little tired when the two of them were here, so he went back to his guest room.

He was standing on the balcony, looking at the bright stars, but it was a little cold. You know, although the winter in Crimea may not be covered with ice and snow, it was cold enough.

Two days ago, little Katya froze herself to death while washing her feet with sea water. If it weren't for her strong vitality and liveliness, Solovyov's heart would have jumped out of his throat.

This did not inspire any inspiration, he just felt it was too cold. However, he had to walk his own path in the future. If he had this ability, I'm afraid the world pattern would undergo changes in ways big or small.

Then, they went back to the room. Because of little Katya's current physical condition, they slept in separate beds.

"This girl, she is so dishonest when sleeping that her feet are exposed."

Solovyov married a sensible girl and brought her home, so he naturally took good care of her. He even came over and covered the quilt with the pink and tender little feet.

Of course, this was his wife, and he even grabbed little Katya's feet and caressed them for a while.

This girl sleeps very deeply, but she is still a child who needs care, and she even snores softly and cutely.

But if you think about the zodiac, I'm afraid I'll laugh like a pig, after all, little Katya is a pig.

A sweet little pig
Solovyov really loved his wife. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he covered her with a thin blanket and checked whether the firewood in the fireplace was burning fully.

This place is different from St. Petersburg. There are heating pipes in the Winter Palace and in the houses of the gentlemen as well.

After confirming that there was no problem, he lay down now, still thinking about a lot of things in his mind.

Next, they will ask a doctor to check. If Katya's physical condition is relatively stable and can support the long-distance journey of two people, then they will slowly return to St. Petersburg from Crimea, or wait for an emergency summons from St. Petersburg.

As he said, he still has a position now, that is, Peter Volkonsky's deputy. The two of them are not only the leaders of the generals-in-charge of Alexander, but also the top two figures in the Operations Department of the General Staff.

If a war really breaks out, he will probably have to take his lovely wife back to St. Petersburg. Women don't like war, but men still need to face it when necessary.

As he had expected, however, at the beginning of December a message came from Petersburg.

And Solovyov was also very familiar with the person who came, that was the Guards Cossack Bao Hong.

"What's the matter, Cossack?"

"The Great Hetman of the Cossacks sent me here to give you this instruction, and to have you open it and read it yourself."

“Does it need to be burned?”

"No need, this is a special order from the Emperor."

"It's really strange, but we still have to obey any orders. After all, we are all soldiers."

When he opened the letter, he also learned about the order from Alexander, asking him to return to St. Petersburg and report to the General Staff after receiving the letter.

"It seems that it is unavoidable. Bao Hong, it's a good thing you brought other people with you, otherwise I have a pregnant wife here, and there might be some delays on the road."

"You are quite efficient. You made the Countess pregnant so quickly."

"That's because she's young and healthy. It's inevitable for a girl to have some problems when she first gets married. I'm just a little worried."

"It doesn't matter. I think you two have the appearance of living a long life."

"You are not a gypsy, so why are you so superstitious?"

"It's not me who said that. People in Moscow and St. Petersburg say that you two are a match made in heaven and are very lucky."

Well, that seems to be the consensus.
