Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

The talks with Austria were not going well, and Scharnhorst was aware of this.

His wound condition has improved a lot, and the medicines provided by Solovyov are very useful.

But this guy only told me how to use it, and the recipe was kept secret.

Even among allies, there are some things that are not completely unconditional.

Russians love to tell fables, and Kutuzov always told stories about hounds, wolves and hunters, especially in 1812.

Solovyov wanted something different.

"Boss, you mean the four apprentices of Old Cat."

"In fact, lions and tigers can also climb trees, but they are not as light and agile as leopards and lynxes."

"Ah, now I understand. When teaching skills, the old cat didn't teach the more ambitious lions and tigers all the skills."

"Especially the tiger. But this is just a story, Kolya, you still have to experience it for yourself. Also, how is it getting along with Lottie?"

"She will definitely be my wife."

Hearing this, Solovyov was quite satisfied. Among the four brothers, Nikolai was the most like Paul.

Solovyov, who has never been a fatalist, felt somewhat emotional when he thought about the fact that Nicholas was born in 1796.

It seemed that his own destiny was tied to his, and it happened to be in Russia.

If he were in another country, he might be freer, but he might not achieve what he has today.

"Don't be like me. Others may envy you, but as a monarch, you do need a mistress, and as your spouse, Lottie must also show tolerance, but not too much."

"Boss, you are not very good, like Prince Alexander Kurakin, who mentioned this prince to dozens of noblewomen and actresses. His family members are like that, so he is not that bad."

Solovyov also found the Kurakin family interesting.

When Tolstoy was writing, the Rostovs' and Bolkonskys' homes were obviously where his parents' families lived, and even the scenes inside seemed to be what his home looked like in the past.

Even the content of the first draft still used their family's original surnames, which you can tell at a glance.

Pierre's family has some connections with many people.

Only the Kurakin family appeared in the book with their original surnames. I don’t know if it contains some malicious intent, but at least the people of the Kurakin family do not have a very good reputation.

Prince Alexander Kurakin was the better one, after all, he was just afraid of getting married and had dozens of illegitimate children.
"It's not important. We have a lot of things to focus on right now. The Queen Mother also wrote to ask about your situation. How should I reply? Kolya, you have grown up. I hope to see the day when you can stand on your own."

Solovyov did not say, "The day you become emperor", and many things have not been confirmed yet.

During the few days in Königsberg, Solovyov relaxed. He felt more at ease because he was not leading any troops at the time.

When Nicholas and Charlotte went out for fun, he asked Petya and several other lieutenants to go with them. Even when Queen Louise and Maria invited him to visit, he would refuse to see them.

During this period, what he started to think about was actually the future.

There are only two possible outcomes of the European war. One is that after Napoleon's victory, there may be repeated anti-French alliances; the other is a new order in Europe after France is defeated.

Solovyov did not think much of the Austrians, but they were indeed an important force.

If Russia and France could unite, coupled with an alliance with Prussia, perhaps a future rival in Europe would be imminent.

That is Britain. Britain was the biggest winner in the Napoleonic Wars and the previous Seven Years' War.

People all over the world can feel the great immorality of the British Empire. Because they are so immoral, they have the Germans from Hanover to be monarchs.

In the future, Russia's strength will surely attract Britain's attention, and even countries with similarly vast territories will probably be terrified when they see such a huge country.

Having such a huge polar bear as a neighbor would be scary even if you don't stretch your legs.

Therefore, the British will probably try to find a way to oppose Russia, but it is unlikely that they will be able to form an alliance.

Alexander probably has a way to deal with this. Although he is not good at fighting wars, he is an excellent diplomat. A Holy Alliance alone may not be enough, and he will have to add more to it in the future.

Louisa has so many daughters. If they could all grow up, except for the youngest one, she would probably become her daughter-in-law, and the rest would be able to get married.

If you use girls' skirts to build an alliance, it might be very solid.

Of Alexander's four married sisters, except Catherine, the other three were in small countries, including Württemberg and Mecklenburg, and Weimar was an even smaller country.

However, the location is very crucial. The countries where Elena and Maria are located are on both sides of Prussia. In the future, they will probably have a marriage relationship with Prussia - this is also a fact.

Elena's eldest son married Queen Louise's second daughter, and Maria had two daughters who married two Prussian princes respectively.

As for Württemberg, it has always had some relatives with all parties, and even if it has no relatives, its relations with various countries within Germany are also good.

The Queen Mother's family has indeed always had a stable position. Even if they are on the side of the French, they will probably jump back one day.

Each of these small countries is like Italy in the future.

Italy of this era followed Napoleon all the way to the end, and even after Napoleon abdicated, Eugene continued to fight.

North and south of the mountain, after a hundred years, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling that the world has changed a lot.

These related countries are all from the same generation as Alexander.

As for the next generation, Nicholas and Mikhail will not even have wives. Just considering the children of Alexander and Constantine, Constantine's daughter is destined to become the queen of Sweden in the future.

Louisa's daughters always have to be properly arranged. Although it sounds like it should be the job of the Tsar and his wife, Solovyov always has some responsibility.

After all, he was a general of the chamberlain, and introducing the archduchesses to potential partners was part of his job. In addition to them, there was also Anna.

Anna will marry in the Netherlands in the future, but this is not certain yet. Besides, Solovyov is not a matchmaker, and knowing the situation in Europe does not mean he knows everything.

Because Britain and the Netherlands have a secret agreement, Princess Charlotte's first blind date is the Prince of Orange in the Netherlands. If successful, they will have two older sons who rule Britain and the Netherlands respectively.

But everyone knows that this matter will probably not happen in the future. Princess Charlotte is very opinionated, and princesses with this name are very popular.

When Alexander was at home, he paid less attention to his younger sister.

Anna now feels a little lonely in the palace because her two younger brothers are not around, one of them has been exiled and the other has been sent to study at the Tsarskoye Selo High School.

The Queen Mother was indeed planning to arrange a blind date for her youngest daughter, but she would have to wait until the war was over to find the right person.

But girls from royal families are a scarce resource nowadays.

George III had gone completely crazy. He had no chance to regret why his daughters did not get married sooner. His youngest daughter Amalia's happiness was almost ruined if it weren't for legislation. And if it weren't for her tuberculosis that somehow healed on its own, that would probably be the last straw that drove him completely crazy.

At least now he still has his beloved daughter who comes to visit him every week. The mad king now only has some impressions of his daughters and granddaughter, and is in a state of "I don't know you".

The British cabinet later regretted it. When Solovyov was considering strategy, he was always thinking about where these girls would marry in the future.

Especially Svetlana and Elizabeth, these two children are his daughters. Louisa asked him to pay attention, probably because of these two girls.

Maybe there are some good arrangements. In the future, there should always be a Tsarist Russian princess in each key country.

This also shows the bilateral relationship. If it is in the German region, it will have a very powerful ally to support it by marrying with Russia.

Although Baden and Württemberg are at France's doorstep, other countries always have to think twice before making any moves on them.

In addition, Wurttemberg is the mother's family of the Queen, Baden is the mother's family of the Queen, and the mother's family of the next Queen is Prussia.
If he were still Alexander II in the future, he would have to return to his original track and marry his younger cousin.

The Baden family can provide more horizontal references.

This is also because of Württemberg's marriage strategy. The current queen is Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom, the Crown Princess is a Russian princess, the eldest daughter married Napoleon's incompetent brother, and the youngest son, in addition to marrying the princess of Saxony, is also the ancestor of the little golden retriever.

The Prime Minister holding the salted fish.
In addition, Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom has a daughter. If medical technology has developed, even if it was a stillbirth in history, she can be raised now. This can be said to be progress.

After all, sometimes the problem is that the conditions at the time always lead to problems. If the tools are improved and the medical conditions are enhanced, that would be another matter.

But it was a pity that it was not a son, otherwise Solovyov would have thought of arranging one for his daughter - because as a branch prince of Württemberg, she would not have to bear too many responsibilities.

In comparison, Württemberg was not like this. In fact, because Karl's mother did not think highly of Napoleon and Baden was the weakest among the electors, there was always an ambiguous attitude.

Of course, the Baden Dragoons were the ones who attacked the Prussians the most fiercely in the Battle of Lützen. Such things did not have any impact during the war.

He had thought that with seven princesses who were going to marry abroad and one of their sisters-in-law, they could build a "curtain" made of skirts, which would be much better than the "iron curtain".

Moreover, Nikolai and Mikhail will get married and have children in the future. Then there will be a second wave. Those who have not had a solid relationship before will be checked and sent over to fill in the gaps, or the relationship will be further consolidated.

For the British, this kind of alliance may be what they hate the most, as the Austrians did the same thing before.

As for Austria, it will not be a country with a large population in the future. When it comes to Princess Elizabeth, the granddaughter of Franz Joseph, have you ever heard of the light red Austrian princess of Harburg?
Besides, since Paul, the Luo family has given birth to cubs very quickly and the survival rate is high. One can't help but sigh that the water of the Neva River and the black bread of St. Petersburg can nourish people.

Moreover, with this kind of relationship, it will not be like the UK, which would kill its own relatives. Denmark has the most say.

The Luo family is always trustworthy to its allies and relatives, and Serbia has the best experience in this regard.

When Solovyov thought of this, he also knew that there would be many monarchies in the south of Europe in the future.

Louisa's younger daughters might also be sent there.

That's all he had in mind, but he just drew a bunch of arrows on a rough sketch.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s some kind of strategic plan.

Even when Nicholas and Charlotte came back from their outing and saw the paper the master had left on the desk, they still didn't understand it.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"I also serve as an attendant general. Her Majesty the Queen once asked me to pay attention to the situation in various European courts, and Anya..."

Nicholas also knew that he had an older sister who was not married yet. She was about the same age as him and taller than the average girl.

When Solovyov addressed the three siblings, he would call them by nicknames in private. Only Maria would be called by a pet name when the two of them were alone, but in public he would just call them by general names.

"My sister's matter?"

"She's tall, she won't go to Holland, will she?"

"Not only the Dutch, but my cousin has no unmarried brother."

Nicholas added some jokes in it. After all, his uncle was really tall and strong. He was probably born to prove that there were such burly strongmen in the world.

His cousins ​​were all tall and strong, even his little cousin Matilda, who was in poor health, was tall.

"That's only in the Netherlands. The land there is low, so people are tall. And the air pressure is also high."

Nicholas laughed. He rarely saw his boss telling such jokes.

"If my sister can go to the Netherlands, she must defeat Napoleon."

"That's a post-war problem. Now we have to see how to fight. General Scharnhorst once proposed three corps. I hope to have a small corps to support me. You know my ability."

"Boss, you defeated hundreds of thousands of Turks with only 60,000 men. With this record, no one would dare to underestimate your ability. It's a pity that you can't be the commander-in-chief now." (End of this chapter)
