Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

After visiting Goethe, Solovyov accompanied Maria back to the palace of the Duchy of Weimar. During the journey, the little aunt was very satisfied because there were very few people returning to Weimar and her relatives were still on the way.

Louisa stopped and started along the way, and her journey was always delayed because two of her daughters fell ill and then recovered.

Taking into account the situation in the war zone, we have to open up a road before we can get here.

Even Solovyov's corps and some reserve troops were left behind to clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies, and do epidemic prevention work near Dresden and Leipzig.

During Napoleon's journey, except for the time when he asked Junot to lead people to clean up the battlefield in Smolensk, he always killed people but did not bury them. Even the bones of French soldiers were often exposed in the wild.

Probably after Napoleon entered Russia, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not come back.

But except for Russia, the other countries on the Allied side are all near Saxony, even Britain has territory in Hanover.

Therefore, all parties are more careful about the impact.

Solovyov, with an army of 30,000, first had to clean up the Weimar palace, and then he would let Clausewitz take his men to Leipzig. In short, he wanted to avoid causing any major problems in Saxony.

But he inexplicably began to think about post-war issues, because the gap between the Allied Forces and France had now reached a point that could no longer be ignored.

Napoleon is equal to 100,000 soldiers, and this gap cannot be made up now. Even if the French may have an advantage in some areas, they will still face an absolute disadvantage overall.

What's more, France is now at the end of its rope. They have no more overseas vassal troops. Many elite troops have been buried in Spain and Russia, and they have suffered another defeat in Saxony. As for writing a letter of persuasion,
He couldn't stand Napoleon's temper.

But what about the post-war situation?

Seeing that Prussia and Austria are eager to set a trap for Russia, the only option now is to use open conspiracy.

When he was with Blücher, he thought about this problem, so he wrote to Sacken, asking him to pay attention to military discipline.

The military discipline of Blücher's troops was not much different from the "atrocities" of the German Second World War described by the British tabloids in 1914.

The French only rob, and they may not even rape women without paying, after all, the French are good at handling women.

For example, Captain Rambert said that we French men are easy to get along with, but there must be some way to do that.

But the Germans. At least when Queen Louise was intimate with Solovyov, she complained that her husband often did not consider her feelings, although they had a good relationship before they separated.

Moreover, if you go to France, you will probably be able to see what the German devils are like, and the French in the future will probably have a deep understanding of this.

After all, the Germans were not at all respectful on the Eastern Front and were still pretending to be so in France.

As for the Prussians entering France, revenge will probably begin soon.

No matter how bad the Cossacks' military discipline was, it was just open stealing, and there was evidence of both human and material suffering, so it was very impressive.

If it were a German army other than the Austrian army, it might be a different story.

You know, there is something like this: the Japanese devils were even more ruthless.

Solovyov had seen it all in Russia; he had corresponded with Pierre in Warsaw and had learned of his escape.

If the guards were French soldiers who still had some conscience, they would probably just treat the prisoners worse.

If it were the armies of vassal states, including the Poles, it would be a different story.

Even among a group of people who don't have a good life, this situation exists among them. For example, the unruly people in Osaka are generally more friendly, but the bumpkins in Kumamoto are not only unfriendly, but also extremely vicious.

In this case, according to the example in Mencius, a good person is a good person wherever he goes, but a troublesome person will probably not change his status as a troublesome person wherever he goes.

Solovyov had already thought of letting the Vendée folks experience the Prussian army.

In addition, there are the Saxons, and it is very obvious that they are dissatisfied with the Prussians.

Even von Tillmann, who had defected to Prussia, did not dare to touch this topic easily.

With his status as Lieutenant General of Cavalry, he could probably find out about the secret agreement between Prussia and Russia. After all, diplomacy in that era wanted to be kept absolutely confidential, although there was a secret room politics to ensure that some content was not spread.

But given the Germans' big mouths, how do you think Sorge could get the information so easily?

There will definitely be resistance to Prussia within Saxony in the future.

Although as an ally, Prussia had to take all the benefits it deserved, but sometimes it also had to resort to some tricks.

After all, Solovyov is a person who always prepares for the next stage early.

And thankfully, he was always willing to be prepared and perform better in crucial battles.

"It seems like this is not enough, Mishka, if it were me, I would decorate this place more magnificently."

"But Your Highness, we don't have that much money now, and even if we had money, we probably wouldn't have enough materials. You probably also remember that Her Highness the Queen likes a simple environment the most."

After all, there were some Weimar servants around, and Solovyov would not be too intimate in his address.

"Yeah, but this is my home too."

"That'll have to wait. After all, Weimar is not as good as Petersburg."

As the hostess, Maria also takes great care of this place.

She also learned from the close ministers sent by Alexander that except for France, where her sister was, which was a hostile country, at least the basic interests of the countries where the three sisters were located would be protected.

But Weimar was too poor, because a lot of her dowry was taken away by the French army stationed in Weimar. As a result, if this young lady wanted to change the layout of the palace recently, she would probably have to wait for her brother to send money.

When the Grand Duchess marries abroad, she always receives subsidies from her parents' family, which is a large sum of money for those weak allied countries.

This is the case for a daughter who is married out, but it is a different story for a daughter who is married in. There will be bonuses no matter how many children she gives birth to, and the subsidies can be given to the in-laws.

But Alexander is now facing a problem, that is, the finances can never keep up.

He was now on the bank of the Rhine, looking at the terrain here, and fell into deep thought.

Whether to beat or not, you can’t decide by breaking the petals.

And these allies naturally have some problems.

When Nesselrode and Metternich were together, it seemed that they were controlled by each other, which was actually a bad thing.

In terms of domestic affairs, diplomacy and military affairs, he actually felt that he had difficulties now, but he had to decide how to act, and Prussia was in agreement with him. This time, with the advantage, it was unlikely that anyone from Russia and Prussia would go back on their word, and Gneisenau seemed to have received instructions from the King of Prussia in the army, or his own ideas, and had been advocating to cross the Rhine and eventually march to Paris.

"Paris."

Alexander now also feels that when the time comes, one regrets having too few dogs, and that they are generally incompetent.

If we are to hire people, there is also a shortage of talent.

After all, Russia has always imported talents from abroad in recent years. Even the current Minister of the Navy is French, the Quartermaster General is Dutch, and there are a large number of foreign generals in the army.

There are actually not many durable talents.

It is no wonder that Arakcheev would recommend his political opponents to return to the center of power. After all, Speransky is so useful.

However, because he is "pro-French", many people are still hostile to him.

"Your Majesty, you mentioned Paris."

"Nothing, Alexey Andreyevich, only the mention of Paris, and I was wondering whether we should march on it."

Arakcheev did not have his own opinions, and after Speransky was demoted, he did not express any political attitude. The Tsar’s attitude was important, but it could not be too extreme.

This is what Balashov seemed to be like, and at that time Arakcheev did not advocate taking too harsh measures against the pro-French forces, so dismissal and exile were not actually appropriate.

To be honest, the "pro-Franco" sentiment within Russia is just an expression. Those who have the deepest ties with France are probably those who have relatives in France, or are simply French.

But these people generally oppose France, especially Napoleon's France at this stage.

"Your Majesty, the army is now waiting for the monarch's order."

Arakcheev only said this much, and Alexander understood.

He was now also waiting for letters from several directions, including Bennigsen who was heading to Hamburg, Langeron who was advancing towards the lower Rhine, and the movements of Blücher's coalition forces.

If everything is prepared properly and France still does not accept the current armistice agreement, he still plans to take action.

The Weimar side is different from the Rhine side.

But the distinguished guests who arrived here inevitably inquired about the situation ahead, and also made their own analysis and judgment on how to defeat Napoleon.

However, Maria also discovered that Solovyov, who was actually fighting on the front line, and his younger brother Nikolai, both remained silent.

Maria could understand why Nicholas didn't speak. After all, sometimes the opinions expressed by high-ranking heirs might be misinterpreted.

Solovyov taught Nikolai very well, which led to him being more cautious when speaking and choosing his words carefully.

However, Solovyov was one of the few experts present, but he remained silent.

"Mishka, you should say something."

"I can't think of anything to say, and the current situation is uncertain. Some people say they want to defeat Napoleon, but they probably don't even know how many of our enemies are left. They even quickly defeated the Bavarian interception. Some of our allies are not contributing and are even just watching the show."

"Because of this, you don't express your opinion?"

"Yes, Your Highness, that's right. But I'm also thinking about something else. If we don't enter France, it's fine. That means we can start diplomatic negotiations from our current position. The French will only be on the other side of the Rhine in the end. But if we go to war and come up with a treaty later, we'll probably have to wrestle with diplomacy regardless of whether we enter Paris or not."

Although on the surface, all Solovyov had to do was to dig a hole for Prussia to fall into.

But in fact, the victims of this pit were the Bourbon royal family and the British.

However, it is difficult for him to describe what to do now. Perhaps he will only have some ideas when he enters France in the future.

Perhaps he could raise some suggestions through Grand Duke Constantine, who had no vested interests here. After failing to ask his wife to reconcile, he came from Gotha to Weimar.

As for Nicholas and myself, it was not appropriate for either of them to say it directly. One was about to marry his beloved Prussian princess, and the other had connections in all aspects and it was really inconvenient to speak up - except for Austria.

But here he also heard some things related to Britain.

For example, the "Luddite Movement" in which workers destroyed machines ultimately failed, as well as the engagement issue of Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom and some gossip that came out.

The upper class nobles were most interested in this and liked to inquire about gossip. It was also rumored that the princess had close contacts with an unnamed prince from Germany.

Although in this case, the first suspected and still alive suspect was Prince August, Clausewitz's former superior, Madame Recamier's ex-boyfriend, and the center of some scandals.

But he is in the army now and probably doesn't have the time.

These Prussian princes can always give you something that will make you feel dizzy.

However, what interested Solovyov more was probably the news reprinted from British newspapers.

It was clearly written in The Sun, on page 3, that Princess Charlotte supported the Whig Party.

Considering that the current Sun is not the same as it was in Harker's time, its loyal readers include Wellington, and it mainly publishes current affairs, so the news is always ridiculously reliable.

Considering that the newspaper supports the Tories, the immortal Conservative Party, Solovyov did not find it strange.

If there is a bigger bomb, it will probably explode here with Princess Charlotte.

Of course, according to Count Vorontsov's daughter, Princess Charlotte has a plump figure and is a great beauty, and the iconic British royal face is not obvious on her face.

She is very popular, even resolute in her attitude, and has a more people-friendly personality. Her public support is much higher than that of her regent father and both parties.

The princess herself was also quite tolerant of the Irish and Catholics.

Compared to Victoria, who is not even a liquid now, it can be said that she is not anthropomorphic, but very human.

It's a pity that the next Queen of England was Victoria, and Solovyov would not remember that Princess Charlotte died of childbirth complications. But it is certain that she died early before she became queen.

But she is in good health, and if she grows up healthily, she will probably become a queen, or at least a Princess of Wales.

If something happens in the future, maybe we can plant a bigger mine in the UK.

For example, let England adopt the Salic succession law.
If the parliament was strong, maybe they could do it, but it's just maybe.

You can't really use a poison cap or something, right? (End of this chapter)
