Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Things had calmed down in Russia throughout the summer, and the British defeat did not seem to be a big problem. Compared with the war between France and Austria in Central Europe, a battle involving tens of thousands of people was on a much larger scale.

What Solovyov could think of was probably Zhukov's somewhat polite yet not so polite evaluation of Montgomery, that the scale of the Battle of El Alamein was really not impressive enough.

In the current war situation, since Russia and Austria are in a state of hostility this time, the news from Austria is always delayed.

However, Russia was still able to learn some information from nearby Poland.

The Austrian army's advance into the Grand Duchy of Poland was not going smoothly.

As for the Russian army, it adopted a more ambiguous attitude. The war between Austria and France broke out rather suddenly, and the Russian army was withdrawing troops to deal the final blow to the Swedes and consolidate its rule in Finland.

That's how it is. Alexander didn't want to offend either side, so the Russian army went to support the French troops, and they dawdled on the way, in a state of "being like a support".

Now that the Polish and Austrian armies had exchanged positions, the two sides stared at each other on the banks of the Vistula River. The Russian army finally arrived and placed its troops on the side of the Polish army.

Solovyov is not in the Operations Department now, otherwise he would have made some analysis as well.

If you see the battle report, you can probably understand the intention.

Moreover, for Russia, it has no interests in Poland at this time, so it is better to wait and see.

However, a major battle in May quickly overshadowed the British army's naval defeat in Sweden.

There was no way out. The final result of the Battle of Essling-Aspern was that the French army was defeated.

Although the specific circumstances are unknown, if we restore history, the French army suffered heavy losses in this battle, including the loss of Marshal Lannes.

However, St. Petersburg was too far away, and there was no way to respond in time.

But there is something perhaps more important, that is, after the war, the Queen Mother of Sweden will bring the little king to St. Petersburg to visit relatives.

As for the reception work, Alexander arranged several attendant generals who had no positions at the time to be responsible for it, and the first one to bear the brunt of it was Solovyov.

Why do I say that? Although he had dealt a heavy blow to the Swedish army, he was the one who coordinated the Queen's last visit to Stockholm.

In addition, according to Alexander's wishes, King Gustav V and Grand Duchess Sofia Konstantinovna should meet, but this would not be a blind date.

To be honest, his father, the deposed former king, also caused a lot of trouble.

As for how to come?

Considering the situation in Finland, the natural choice was to come here by boat.

If it weren't for the European monarchs, and if Qin hadn't had the habit of detaining King Huai of Chu over the years, something would have happened in Stockholm.

But it only lasted a few months, so it was considered a friendly visit.

What's more, Russia's tradition of "inspecting the goods" also gives both parents and the blind date parties the possibility to change their minds. After all, there are always unsuitable people.

As for what is inappropriate, there is no clear statement yet. At this time, it has always been the man's statement, and it is not necessarily that any woman is using it. It is also a strange incident.

The peace treaty with the Swedes was probably relatively lenient. At least the Swedish Navy's warships were repaired and several of them were returned to Sweden.

Otherwise, for a country whose naval warships were either sunk or captured by the Russian army, or whose cannons were dismantled by the British, if they were put into the national treasury, even the rats would jump into the sea.

All Swedish warehouses related to military supplies were cleared out during the war, and the Swedes even set fire to a tobacco processing factory.

Solovyov occasionally used Swedish snuff to refresh himself, but now his supply has been cut off.

It seems that this country now does not have much property to plunder except for agriculture, forestry, fishery and a few mining industries. Instead, Russia has to return the battlefield spoils it has obtained to the Swedes when it takes away Finland, the Åland Islands and Gotland.

As for some Swedish nobles, they did not care who their monarch was. Many of them, because their property was in the Grand Duchy of Finland, came to recognize Alexander I as their monarch.

As nobles, they often put their own interests first. If they return to Sweden, I'm afraid there won't be much benefit.

But Amfelt probably had no chance, after all, his head was taken back by the Kalmyks as a magic weapon, and his family didn’t have to collect the body because they couldn’t find the headless body.

But there is nothing to say about this. If Solovyov, who was traveling with Schmidt, had not left a mark for him and properly placed him, the body would not have been found and they would have had to erect a monument.

For Sweden, losing Finland may not be a bad thing. After all, Finland's legion and various garrison costs are also a considerable expense for Sweden.

When the ship carrying members of the Swedish royal family arrived in St. Petersburg, the Russian army also fired 21 salutes at the artillery to welcome the arrival of the Swedish royal family.

As the chief noble of St. Petersburg and a first-class civil servant, old Count Stroganov had to make arrangements for the reception.

However, compared to when Gustav IV came, there are not so many people gathered in St. Petersburg. Even though it is late spring and early summer now, there is always a deserted feeling.

Although the old count's family was prosperous as his son and daughter-in-law had many children, many places in St. Petersburg had become deserted.

Some great nobles even returned to their own country estates, which was far inferior to the scene during the Queen's time.

This also made him quite worried for a while. Ever since his student's mission to the Qing Dynasty failed, he seldom expressed his opinions on diplomatic affairs. That is, some activities of the local nobles in St. Petersburg, such as grand receptions, always required him to appear.

Accompanying King Gustav of Sweden and Queen Mother Frederica to St. Petersburg were Court Marshal Count von Fersen, Army General Baron von Essen, the king's sisters Princess Sophia, Princess Amalia and Princess Cecilia, and the prince or princess whose gender was unknown in the Queen Mother's belly.

Alexander and Louisa were still willing to give face to their relatives and held a grand reception.

However, Queen Mother Maria did not attend because of the unpleasant things she had experienced with the Swedish royal family. This was one of the rare receptions that Louisa attended as the first lady of the court. As for why she had to bring her seven daughters to receive her sister and nephew, it was because the royal family was prosperous but there were no boys, which showed a rather strange and delicate situation.

No matter what, Frederica had a son. Although her son ascended the throne early because of the Russian bayonet, it was also a way to stop the loss in advance. Otherwise, it would have been a more catastrophic loss for Sweden.

On the issue of Norway, when Count von Fersen negotiated with Russian representatives in Stockholm, the Russian side had clearly stated that it did not support Sweden's claims in Norway, but it could guarantee the security of Sweden's western border in the peace talks with France and Denmark, and there would be no compensation.

Anyway, Napoleon really didn't have any opinion on the situation in Northern Europe. As long as there was no war here and it became a side issue, it didn't matter.

However, for France, if there is any action against Russia in the future, there will be no chance for Sweden to intervene because of the relationship between the Swedish and Russian royal families.

It is also necessary to consider that the Russian Empress and the Swedish Queen Mother both came from Baden, an ally of France. Not to mention others, the mother of Louisa and Frederica was quite opposed to Napoleon. Although Baden was considered Napoleon's relative, it did not seem very stable.

Even though Eugene and Jerome married princesses of Bavaria and Württemberg respectively, it seemed that there were still hidden dangers. Although Bavaria was still a staunch ally, Württemberg was like Baden, there was always a woman in the family who opposed France.

Therefore, France's policy towards Europe should also change with the war against Austria.

As for King Gustav V, when he arrived at the dock and was received by his uncle and aunt, he looked a little restrained as it was his first visit abroad.

After all, his uncle had taken away a lot of his land. Although Count Solovyov, who came to receive him, was a very kind man, in Sweden, that could only stop a child from crying at night.

By the way, the Swedish nobles and civilians also recognized Solovyov because he was well-spoken and fair in his work. He even used the surplus rations of the Russian army to aid civilians, and issued Russian checks for food and various supplies collected on the road.

Along the way, he was a very powerful teacher, but he also made people feel scared.

Even though his younger sisters were lifted up one by one by him, and his youngest sister Cecilia even rode on his neck for a while after getting off the boat, he had no dignity at all.

This guy still sounds very scary.
The propaganda in the court was indeed quite outrageous, so much so that Count von Fersen had to stop and explain to the little king what was going on.

After all, they don't have to worry about what the Duke of Södermanland's supporters will do. With so many Russian troops in Stockholm and Gothenburg, nothing serious will happen.

As for his uncle, Alexander was very friendly to Louisa's nephew, but because of the height difference, it was indeed difficult for him to bend down.

Just let Nikolai and Mikhail, who are slightly older than Gustav, come over. The height difference is also outrageous. You have to know how old Nikolai is. He is almost as tall as his master. If he didn't have a feminine face and long hair,
In short, the route taken by this master and disciple was strange. After Solovyov coaxed the three Swedish princesses, he arranged them together with Louisa's daughters after the ceremony.

The girls should be able to get to know each other quickly when they get together.

However, when Gustav walked up to Nikolai and Mikhail, he saw that the two brothers were still the "elders" according to their mother's side of the hierarchy, but their ages were very close.

When people of the same age are put together, they will always be able to play together if the other person is good-looking and dresses neatly and nicely.

The main content of the talks was still between Frederica and Count von Fersen. Gustav V now needed a regency committee.

Queen Mother Frederica, who was clearly unwilling to participate in political activities, now had to take responsibility and accept her duties as regent queen mother before her son came of age.

Solovyov watched Alexander and Louisa welcome Frederica into the Marble Palace. Although it was the official residence of Grand Duke Constantine, it was also a suitable place to discuss business.

Then, the task of taking care of the child, unsurprisingly, fell on him.

He can't drink much, so it's reasonable to put him at the children's table.

By the way, his wife is always at the children's table. Today, both children were left at home, and they were the "leaders" of the children, bringing a group of royal children from Russia and Sweden to play here.

It was really outrageous. Solovyov and Katya separated the boys and girls.

Katya had a hard time, but Anna was the girls' aunt after all, so she was always able to help her.

But Gustav was still a little scared when he saw Solovyov.

"Your Majesty, why are you like this?"

"When I was in Stockholm and Gothenburg, I always heard my father mention you in the palace. It was always you who defeated the Swedish army."

"You were not like this when you were a child. I accompanied Her Majesty the Queen to Stockholm and held you in my arms, but you were too young at that time. But it doesn't matter. If you have any problems, you can probably come to me, whether it's about the palace or your studies."

"Count, I have a question. Why did you design this course?"

By the way, the victims of Solovyov's homework were not only the royal families of Russia and Prussia, but also extended to Sweden, France and Italy.

If Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom had not been a girl, she would have suffered the same fate.

Gustav also asked his servant to bring out a red box. Solovyov thought it was a briefcase at first. After all, the British were using this thing now, and he had seen it at Crown Prince George's place.

Then, Gustav opened the box himself, and inside was neatly arranged math homework, which was at the third grade level according to his age.

"This is a necessary condition for improving students' overall quality. Your Highness Nicholas and Your Highness Mikhail are both using this kind of homework, but they are older than you, so they are already using the senior grade tutorials."

However, when he gestured to Nicholas, Nicholas complained to the king's nephew.

"The boss's homework is terrible. I often have to do it until the evening."

Gustav shook his head and said, "I find it very interesting! My mother also wants me to learn more courses. Count, can you help me?"

There is also this kind of feudal flower who is willing to suffer the blow of homework. Looking at his innocent smile, Solovyov also thought of a set of high-end content, which is the mathematics textbook written by Gauss in his spare time, which is considered to be at the elementary school Olympiad level.

Looking at his students again, well, I still have to give Nikola some strength. (End of this chapter)
