Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 674: Incomprehensible Personnel Arrangements

Solovyov did not stay in Odessa for too long. Little Kamensky's health condition had deteriorated again in the past few days. Even though Anna was by his side, it was of no use.

What an unfortunate person, Solovyov thought, and perhaps even more unfortunate was his mother.

But speaking of it, Sergei Kamensky's descendants include Mirren, who is a professional queen actor, and a Bond girl.
As for Nicholas's branch, since he never got married in history, there is no inheritance in this branch.

Of course, because Alexei Orlov had no legitimate son, Nicholas actually became a son-in-law who married into the family. This was beneficial to the distribution of property. But poor Anna, who had finally married one of the most talented young Russians, lost her life so quickly.

"Ania, we can't stay here with you. I have experienced this kind of pain before. If there is anything, you can tell me. If the housekeeper and servants are not suitable, I can ask my cousins ​​to help you arrange it."

"Thank you, Misha. But Kolya also told me yesterday when he was conscious that he wanted to entrust the child to your care in the future."

"It's the same to raise another child. Just tell me if you need anything. In the future, whether you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, you can always go to Katya. After all, I'm never at home."

That being said, little Kamensky's health has been gradually deteriorating in recent days.

The countess just nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Then we have to go to Kyiv, and we will have to bother Miloradovich there.

The thing that Solovyov was most curious about was probably that he had good conditions but had never married, unlike Yermolov who did not marry because he felt "poor".

But at this moment, there is nothing much to say. On the one hand, we have to lament the misfortune of young Kamensky, and the rest is probably about the personnel arrangements in the Russian army.

"Brother Misha, this is the situation. The ones who stayed behind in the Danube and Macedonian Corps are mostly veterans who had experience in the previous war against France. On the front battlefields, it is Barclay's army group."

"That is also arranged. According to this deployment, the 1st Army is in the front, the 2nd Army is on the flank, and the 3rd Army and the Danube Army monitor the flank. Even if Austria and Prussia agree to something, we can't trust it completely."

"I think Prussia will definitely find it profitable and send some people to follow the French, but if the situation improves, they will turn back."

"It's obvious that these Germans are unreliable, and ours are always criticized."

"I even think that Barclay is more of a strategist than a war minister or a commander-in-chief. If he is to take on an important position, there should be someone to assist him."

"When you say that, I always feel like you're saying something weird."

"It's just weird. When Barclay was about to be promoted to general, a group of people came out to obstruct him. These people are all senior lieutenant generals. It's okay for those who have retired and returned home to enjoy their retirement. Some of them have simply left the army and are real jesters in the court without any achievements, but they are giving orders to active military personnel."

"Misha, sometimes you can be quite mean."

But as for Miloladovic, he is currently changing into a beautiful dress, and it seems that he is going to attend some event.

"Are you going to meet the local noble lady again now?"

"Ah, after all, I don't have a wife. Sometimes I envy you for having a good wife. It's not easy to find a girl like Katya, who can stay at home and help with events."

"Wouldn't you consider finding one?"

"I don't think it's necessary now. Besides, you know the problem well. Apart from Apraksin, you are the only one whose marriage is happy. Poor Kolya, you are going to fail in Odessa."

"Yes, I spent some time with him in Odessa before I came here, and his condition was getting worse."

In addition, Miloladovic has been a womanizer to some extent. Even now that he says he wants to get married, young ladies and widows who are willing to be his wives can line up in two rows.

"Don't think about those unhappy things. How can you arrange your life by letting your wife and children go to Moscow from the warm south?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet, and there are no new instructions from Petersburg. I am even now just a general of the aides-de-camp again."

"Then forget about it and do what you love."

In fact, it is still the spring of 1811. During the winter of 1810 to 1811, the Russian army was indeed being reorganized. Barclay was adjusting his troops, and the Russian army was expanding its troops and adjusting its organization. It can even be said that after this combination of measures, the Russian army's troops were greatly improved both in quantity and quality.

What's more, Arakcheev is urging various arsenals to speed up the production of equipment, and the Russian army's weapons are also improving.

Even Solovyov heard that the eight infantry regiments of the Guards were preparing to fully replace their equipment with the rifles he invented, and that the artillery equipment was also being updated. Although the Guards artillery had been disbanded recently, it was still assigned to each Guards regiment. The remaining artillery units would be concentrated at the division level to establish a field artillery brigade.

These are all good things, and considering the advancement of technology, the Russian army is also using a large number of new equipment.

It’s just that the generals made the arrangement without understanding what it was for.

What Solovyov knew was that among the generals who had performed relatively well in 1807, only a few such as Bagration and Bagovut would be appointed in this direction, and there were some personnel appointment arrangements involved.

It could be that Kutuzov and Tormasov were more comfortable using those people in the south, or it could just be a personnel arrangement.

When it came to Miloradovich, considering that his lifestyle had nothing to do with mine, as he liked balls and big, lively events, while she preferred small salons and gatherings, she did not go to this event with him.

Besides, he was indeed a little tired. Although he said that he was not afraid of infectious diseases, it was only because his immunity was stronger, otherwise he would probably fall ill.

After such a long journey, I really need a good rest.

As for what to do next, if we go east from Kiev and from Kharkov to Tula, we can meet Count Bobulinsky. If we go to Smolensk, Andrei is not at home at the moment. If we go to Moscow.

To be honest, he didn't like the environment in Moscow very much, and thought about the situation there would be in more than a year.

If some people decide to move in advance, it may cause people to waver and cause panic when it is unnecessary.

So, he just wrote a letter to Pierre. After all, the richest man in Moscow was an honest and reliable man. If he wanted to divorce, he could help him. Helen, this woman
Although the "little goblin" was lustful and dissolute, she never intended to harm others. She just had too much fun and hurt the face of her husband and her cousin the Tsar.

As for Helen, Pierre hasn't made any comments yet, but he is absolutely right.

The whole family is the same, all bad.

But Pierre didn't have this idea at the moment, and I don't know what he is thinking about. There are still many Masonic activities now, and maybe he is shifting his attention to Masonic activities.

"That priest might be a Freemason"

Solovyov also felt a little tired, so he wouldn't feel anything after a good sleep.

Because of years of marching and fighting, his daily routine was always affected and he often couldn't sleep at night.

That comet really makes people feel bad.

When some short-period comets pass by, nothing good ever happens.

If someone likes to interpret it this way, he would be interested in dispelling superstitious activities. After all, the things said in divination are always ambiguous.

So, when he couldn't sleep, he looked up at the sky again.

The next time Halley's Comet arrived was in 1835, so he could almost catch up. Actually, the first time this comet was observed and recorded was when King Wu conquered King Zhou.

Apart from this, he was also thinking about other things.

The situation is not very optimistic, Speransky's tax reform is currently underway.

Interestingly, because of taxation, even though Russia participated in the Continental Blockade of Britain, in fact only its trade with Britain was affected. The country’s overall economic environment was still very stable, and it even eliminated part of the fiscal deficit. The country’s economic situation even improved.

This is quite entertaining, as it seems that Alexander is going to make some trouble this time because his relatives in Oldenburg were deprived of their territory and France is behaving erratically.

But in Napoleon's view, it was probably because Alexander didn't listen to him, so how could he do this.

As a result, the diplomatic struggle between the two sides will gradually evolve into a more intense conflict between France and Russia, and directly lead to war.

Each side must make preparations, but it is hard to say which direction the war will go in the end. It is best to avoid war. Choosing war is always the behavior of warmongers.

Seeing that others could do it, he felt that he could do it too. However, there were probably times when Napoleon could not do it. After all, Russia was so big and his logistics were also a huge problem.

Solovyov had a clear mind, but this year was probably not just about war preparations, but also about things in the court and some wonderful arrangements of fate.

It seemed that he really had to go to Moscow, but the route he had to take would start from Vitebsk and go eastwards to see the situation along the way.

This kind of trip was more convenient for him, a relatively free and unofficial attendant general.

It is not even known whether Davydov lives in his home in Borodino these days. The guy was born there and the nearby estate is his family's property.

There are a lot to gain and a lot to lose, but the scorched earth policy is indeed very clear. In the end, they will fight the French to the death, which may benefit the British in the future.

Yes, it's the British again. This is very frustrating. We still can't avoid those damn British. They will send money when the time comes, but they will contribute very little, and more benefits are still in their hands.

Another thing he didn't know was that Paul's first embargo on Britain was just a stone thrown into the water.

However, inflation in Britain is very serious, and the British are now completely shaken. If France had finally thought about solving the current problems instead of going to war with Russia, Napoleon might have been able to keep the fruits of his victory.

There are many things to think about, but after walking this far, there is not much to say.

He did not make any appointment, but when he returned to St. Petersburg, he began to supervise Nicholas' studies.

Grand Duke Constantine had long shown that he had no interest in the throne, and Solovyov, as the former chief of staff of the Guards, was aware of this privately.

Therefore, Nicholas' education seemed to be more important, but he was ranked higher in the order, but he was the least educated among the four brothers.

And there is another troublesome thing, that is, a person who is diligent but doesn’t know what to do, this is the most troublesome thing.

It's not just about failing math. Bagowut's sisters were his teachers when he was a child, and Nicholas' problems were also explained to him at the time.

It seems that the problem of the Grand Duke's education may be a bigger problem than the possible war of 1812, at least where his position lies.

I'm going to Moscow to meet Pierre and see how he is doing.

In addition, just take care of some friends.

Natasha will have to wait until she has some experience and the events of the past two years are over before she can truly mature and eventually be able to be with Pierre.

What remains is probably to seek a position as an army commander for himself and use his abilities in the war.

But this is also very dangerous. Every battle with the French is very dangerous.

He even complained in his heart on the balcony that the time travelers wanted to be emperor just to take advantage of the situation, and they became generals and marshals for the same reason. They didn't know that it was easy to die on the battlefield if they were not careful.

It was not like he had not been injured before, he had even been chopped by the French with sabers, but because he was a grenadier at the time, the bishop's hat had some defensive effect.

But in the future, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. A shell can make a big hole, while a bullet can make a small hole, and you can't always hit the target.

But if it hits, it could be fatal.

But there are also some people who are extremely lucky. After being hit by shells several times, the final result is probably just a concussion.

Some people may be shot many times in their lives, but they just can't die and live a long life.

I don’t know what my destiny will be.

But now he also had to hurry to Moscow, and he had to go faster. This was not a march, and if he changed horses in the middle, he could go very fast. (End of this chapter)
