Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

At the funeral of Earl Stroknov, normally speaking, civil servants would have more. After all, the old officials were still in this aspect.

However, when the scene was the scene, there were more soldiers who came.

After all, his son, the family members of the Stroknov family turned to a soldier, as a result, a large number of colleagues of the 1st Army came.

As for who is here, you can refer to the sequence of the 1st Army of the Western Group today.

Of course, Barclays still seems to be a little unpopular. He is also the commander of the Western Army while serving as the Minister of War.

"I said you are standing here, it looks a bit isolated."

It was not surprising that Barclays saw Solovyov, but he was willing to take the initiative to come and talk, but reduced his embarrassment.

"Earl, there will be no dumb mystery in it?"

"What do you say?"

"If the side wings are exposed, it is very dangerous, especially on the western border line."

"What kind of claim do you think I hold?"

When Barclays heard this, I also knew that Solovyov was about to cause the topic. He clamped his hat with his arms and let the side of the corridor.

"Misha, I think you should be the faction of active attack. Especially the brilliant victory achieved in Turkey, I dare not imagine that it is a 30 -year -old general, the means are very sophisticated, and I also contributed a beautiful time. The Turkish people are drowned by your script to be drowned by your script, just like Hannibal did in Canni. "

"You said that, there are some respectful me. I just encountered a weaker opponent and could play better. By the way, I did not support active attack. The supply is not good, and we must consider that our troops have no support. But the orphans and widows can protect themselves well, and at most help us restrain Danish.

"It seems you have thought about it long ago, and you agree with my past plans."

"Although the emperor approved your plan, he hopes to take the initiative to attack, and the voices of the battle with the French are very high in the army."

"Some people of Petersburg just coaxed, and some people did not even have a day of military service experience. They dared to point out Jiangshan here. Can they think they are like Mrs. Patepu, can they blow the pillow wind on Louis XV? Is the opinion of the army. "

"If you let you go to Prince Bagala Jae, are you sure you are sure to persuade him? Among the 2nd Army of the West, there will be a troops you have brought in Balkans. It is more convenient to carry out work."

"But I still have to care about the academic studies of Nicholas recently. I can go to the front line. The fastest also deletes the winter vacation in Huangcun Middle School, and I have always used my staff, and Prince Bagrajang's habit. The team is different ""

"It's a pity that if I compose into a ninth army with him, I also have to pay attention to Russeania and Moldvia, so many legions are there. Also wronged, the 7th Army has designated Layevsky, the 8th Army is Polozjin, which is the candidate given by the emperor. "

"Many people have been retired at home for many years. Do their bodies have this intensity?"

"I think some people are walking horses, and there should be no problems, and they can rest in full at home. Unlike you and I say that when you are at the front line, you will not forget to bring your wife, children and lover."

"It was Sophia, Saalonica, and Athens. My wife always had some usefulness and was replaced by fighting with the French. I would not show them. It was a pity that because the French real threats, Kutuzov's Earl can only gather the army, and the next thing will be handed over to the negotiating representatives. "

"Do you want to bring the army to Constantinople?"

"Because I know the time is tight, I chose to go south to Greece. Otherwise, after winning Salonica, I went eastward. However, considering that the city of Constantinople, there are fewer people who bring them. If there is any effect, we need 200,000 troops and the Black Sea Fleet.

"It seems you have your own ideas."

"In the future, it will be a good comparison. This time, the Austrian has no chance to intervene. Next time, I may not be able to send someone to stare at Baluster and Yacey."

"Haha! You really don't worry about the Austrian people. The emperor has long watched Metne very dissatisfied."

That's right, the guy of Metne is really. Although the degree of pride is comparable to Solovirv, the arrogance is far better, and it will not even hide it deliberately.

"After all, it is a conclusion that get along with them, and what will the Austrian do in the future, it is difficult to say."

Barclays also nodded to agree, and also mentioned the situation of the first Army.

"You are the six infantry army and several cavalry army on the front. On this road along the coast of the Baltic Sea, as long as the road is sealed, if the French come, he can't make a roundabout. Bringing trouble ""

"It seems that there are a few troops here, but what about the positive road?"

"We should abandon some roads and then destroy the traffic lines. The French are always in trouble in Spain, that is, some Spanish men, women, old and young are fighting the French. Think about what the French have done. Our military discipline is often not good, and there is no comparison with them. The Cossacks go out to steal chickens and dogs, and it is not so common to rob openly."

This remark also ridiculed the entire European army. Perhaps the whole world is within the range of Solovyov's mouth cannon.

However, he himself strictly restrained himself, which gave the Russian army an impression of a king's division in the Balkans, but this did not achieve the expected goal.

There should be petty thefts, and it is still daily, so sometimes we have to learn from the advanced experience of the British and beat them with whips.

Arakcheev was curious when he read the battle report. Even Solovyov had to use sticks to restrain the soldiers.

But even so, Solovyov's sticks are not used in ordinary times, and they are always used for punishment.

"Are you going to provoke a full-scale resistance before you start?"

"I've thought about this problem. There are no maps for these places in the west. I'll give you a rough idea. Maybe it will be helpful."

Barclay also signaled Solovyov to continue. He also studied the work of the staff, but he personally commanded independently most of the time.

The Russian army does not necessarily have a permanent chief of staff. Even when Suvorov was on the expedition, he used the Austrian chief of staff. This position is above the chief of munitions and has only been recently created.

"Well, we have to take into account that many places in the western region were once part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. These places are close to Poland, and the French will definitely find a way to cut off this part of the land. Their activities there are also likely to be supported by local nobles. For civilians, they need to liberate serfs. But in the inland areas, the situation is different. When they cross Minsk, pass through Vitebsk or Bobruisk, cross the forests of Orsha, and come to Smolensk."

"You seem to want to fight here."

"No, we have to let them go deeper, all the way to Mozhaysk."

If he is not careful, he will probably sing "Don't forget Vilia, and Klin and Kaluga's glorious guards."

Although he is a member of the guards, it is easy to be misunderstood, and it is also a mess.

We will see it later. I am afraid that there were some people in 1812 who really messed up.

"Putting the enemy in Mozhaysk is too far-fetched."

"We can't negotiate with them and let them go deep into the Moscow area, thinking that they can sign a victory treaty in Moscow, but the final result is always rejection. Even if they enter Moscow, or even go deep into Ryazan."

After listening to this, Barclay felt that Solovyov was really a ruthless person.

"Your family is in Ryazan, right? And not only your family, but also the property of your relatives and friends are there."

"That doesn't matter. In the end, we can defeat the enemy and get everything back."

Barclay was not surprised to see such a ruthless person, but he didn't expect that he would burn his own house when he was ruthless.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

But think about it, when he was in Poland, he abandoned the baggage and the soldiers' bags, and finally annihilated more than 10,000 Polish troops. It is inevitable to make such an assumption.

"I thought my plan was cruel and ruthless."

"There are not so many things to pay attention to in war. And we have to talk about the problems in the east of Smolensk. Many serfs have not been liberated. When the French came, there must be serfs who would rise up to resist. But in such a national crisis, there are still more people who will stand up to defend their country and their families. These masters must give them some promises and truly give them freedom."

"You think long-term, but many things involve politics and the interests of many big men."

Barclay did not go to this point, in fact, it was because he, as a professional soldier, did not pay much attention to the final political issues.

This is also a common problem of this kind of "foreign generals". When Solovyov first met Rosenberg and Essen, he found that Germans generally had this problem.

Of course, although Barclay is a descendant of Scottish nobles, he also has German ancestry and does not pay much attention to politics.

It seems that Clausewitz is an outlier. His summary is still useful. At least it can give these generals a good political lesson.

Among the generals in Russia, there are always a few outliers who are more enthusiastic about politics.

At least, Kutuzov showed this ability in diplomatic occasions.

On the battlefield of 1812, it was indeed a cunning veteran like Kutuzov who was more suitable to deal with Napoleon.

The problem with Barclay is that he is more cautious, and because of his qualifications and bloodline, he is easily overturned in two directions.

"If you go so deep, you naturally need to arm the civilians, right?"

"That's right. It's not a good idea not to use the weapons produced in Tula, Izhevsk, and Luhansk at this time. After letting the enemy penetrate deep into our country, a large number of guerrillas will naturally appear near the French transportation lines. The detachment mainly composed of light cavalry will focus on attacking the transportation lines. As for the militia, they will provide support in several directions and can also deploy on the flanks of the front when necessary. But most of the time."

"You are still going to make it impossible for the French to deploy, so you can act directly, right?"

"This will require a large number of officers to act on the flanks, but approval will be required at that time. In our conversation, you are the Minister of War. If you want this war to develop into a full-scale war of common hatred and hatred, your arrangements are also very important."

Barclay also nodded in agreement, but he was not as ruthless as Solovyov.

Considering that many generals' homes can be lined up from Vitebsk to Ryazan and Vladimir, such as Major General Paskovich's ancestral property in Vitebsk, Belarus, Soloviev's family is in Ryazan, his father-in-law's farm is near Moscow, and many generals' homes are in Smolensk.

If there are generals from the local faction willing to stand up and express their opinions, Barclay's strategy will naturally be easier to implement.

However, it takes a lot of determination to destroy everything.

When he stood by the wall thinking, Soloviev also knew his attitude.

If a plan for a total war is really made, the attitude of the Minister of War himself is indeed very important.

At least the Tsar agreed with his opinion, and the final deployment and execution depended on him and Arakcheev.

Although Arakcheev regarded Speransky as a political enemy, he was still a generous person and would not block this plan.

"There will be problems in the end, but if we can't win this battle, the trouble will be even greater."

This is true. If we have to consume the French in the end, we probably can't completely trap Napoleon without bleeding.

"What will happen if we really let them in?"

"I believe that for the final victory, there will always be some price to pay. If it is really necessary to do it, then this winter, the governors of all places should issue an order to all nobles to build camps and storage facilities in the woods."

Obviously, this is a decentralized arrangement, which is very suitable for guerrillas.

One winter is probably enough, until May of next year (end of this chapter)
