Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Solovyov simply cleaned up the embassy in Vienna and moved in with his family.

The children in his family have walked long distances since they were young and are full of curiosity about the city of Vienna.

But Solovyov had no time to talk to the children here. As the Russian ambassador to Austria, he would probably leave again in a few months, and he also had to pay attention to the developments between countries.

The Tsar had previously had some diplomatic agreements with Britain and Prussia. Although they were in the form of secret agreements, all parties are now sitting here, including many small countries, so this is a stage of major reconciliation.

There are always some inconspicuous small countries that need to be merged, including those members of the original territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and even some bishoprics, free cities, or earldoms.

In the Europa Universalis servers, you can even see quite a few Crusader Kings players, but they are basically stand-alone servers of their own country, and when you connect to outside, they also have to change with the times.

"Your Majesty, now is the stage of reconciliation. I am more worried about Mr. Talleyrand. He will use something to turn the tables."

"Soloviev, you are very good on the battlefield. But how much contact have you had with foreign affairs, except as a military attaché?"

"Your Majesty, I used to be a military attaché in France and Sweden, but that's diplomatic experience. I'm more worried about a chameleon with a leg that doesn't work very well."

"You are right, but a defeated country with deep conflicts with Britain, how can they make an offer to unite with Britain and Austria? I will pay attention to what you said. Sometimes you do need to be cautious. But that is what you did when you were in the army. In diplomatic occasions, you must always be polite and well-spoken, and you must also be polite and please the ladies. You have all these qualities. I believe that even if you switch from the army to become a diplomat, you will be very good."

Alexander expressed encouragement to the new ambassador to Vienna.

Although Solovyov knew that Alexander listened to his advice, it was inevitable that he would feel a little proud.

In the first few days, after the talks, Alexander always went to the "Little Fairy"'s salon in Vienna, where she was always the hostess of the salon.

Firstly, the “little fairy” was the Tsar’s cousin and one of the girls raised by the Empress.

Secondly, she is the widow of Prince Bagration and is now a young widow.

However, the daughters she gave birth to in the country were raised by the prince's younger brother.

She didn't seem to be very sad. Although her husband had died, she seemed to have become more heartless over the past few years.

But he and Metternich did not have another child, and they became more restrained in their lives.

When Solovyov saw her again, she was no different from the past. She was a young widow over 30 years old, but she still dressed herself like a little girl and showed no signs of the erosion of time.

Bagration had hoped to help take care of the family, but she was in such a situation.

Although Solovyov was quite lustful, he was still cautious towards his senior brother's wife.

Moreover, his family already had a very harmonious relationship, so it was impossible to add any unstable factors. Moreover, when the two of them first met, they were just business partners.

Maybe at that night party, I saw her clothes falling off and she was exposed from a distance, but that is in the past.

Serious matters are more important now, and if she is involved, there may be trouble.

It’s not that there are a lot of gossips about widows, nor that the silver shaded cat at home will suddenly turn into a Siberian golden shaded cat. It’s just that she loves to make trouble in every sense of the word, and she is still the same as when I met her.

But in front of the Tsar, she was still able to behave well, and there were also good sisters who were married in the past who were here today.

Except for Catherine, who went to the Italian coast, where she reunited with Letizia and went to the Island of Elba, Anna and Mikhail remained in Petersburg.

"Alexandra has been in Württemberg, and we rarely get the chance to see each other, but this time we are all here."

"Royal brother, I hope that our family can get together one day."

Although Alexandra said this, she also had to consider the man on the island of Elba.

He was Catherine's husband. Although this girl had a good relationship with her brothers and sisters, and even Anna was just jealous of her, after she married Bonaparte, her temperament became somewhat lawless and she also turned her elbow outward.

Although she went to the Island of Elba to visit her husband with a big belly, there were also rumors that she was going to give birth to the child on the island.

If the old lady hadn't said that you only need to stay here for a few days, because giving birth in winter should be done in a warm climate, such as somewhere in Italy, she would really have dared to declare her sovereignty over the Corsican man-eating monster on the island.

But when Countess Marie Walewska took her son Alexander there, something was bound to happen.

"If only Catherine were here."

William agreed with his wife's words. They gave birth to many puppies. Fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye, and Alexandra became the mother of eight children.

The Crown Prince of Württemberg was truly lustful. Alexandra was a beauty, as well as a beloved wife and cousin, so the relationship between the two was naturally close.

However, Alexandra could not control William's affairs outside, but she was always gentle and allowed her husband to go out and find others. She just sent a servant to strictly control the quality, and she also required her husband to find a healthy woman without any infectious diseases.

Her personality is completely opposite to that of her fourth sister Ekaterina, which is really amazing.

And William is a man who, no matter what, will end up marrying his cousin.

It’s just that the eldest cousin is more tolerant of me, and among the four younger sisters, only Elena is like this.

Maria's temper is restrained only in front of her father and brothers.

Ekaterina's character is not like that. She can be a little absurd, but mainly before marriage. After marriage, as long as her husband does not cross the line, she will not cross the line.

However, she cannot tolerate her husband's excessive behavior.

If you look at the history books, you will find that Catherine died of facial erysipelas at the age of 31 because she caught a cold in the rain while riding a horse to catch an adulterer. She eventually died of the infection and died at the age of .

As for Anna, who knows if she will take out a little man to give her an acupuncture injection and learn from Mary Louise's advanced experience.

Those girls are not easy to deal with, even Elena is a bit of a sweet pepper, and now she is twisting her husband's ears at this relatives gathering.

It's not that her husband had an affair, but that the two of them had a very close relationship. Elena's health was not very good, but she also had four children. The doctor recommended that she go to Italy for recuperation from the shores of the Baltic Sea to alleviate her condition, which would be conducive to the patient's recovery.

Where they both get married, they don't have to worry too much about territorial issues.

In fact, the same is true for Maria's family, but Prussia probably wouldn't want a place like Weimar. What they want is the territory of Saxony itself.

There may be more to do when relatives and friends gather together than when they have conversations.

Solovyov couldn't just stand there at this time.

After all, he is now the Russian ambassador to Vienna, and he also has to provide some diplomatic advice to the Tsar.

"You have not been to Spain, Count?"

"Your Majesty, although I have been to many places in Europe, I have never set foot on the land of Spain."

"The situation in Spain has not been very good recently. It's really strange. It was very bad when Napoleon was there. Now that Napoleon is gone and Spain has its own king, how can it be so bad?"

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then Napoleon's trip was in vain?"

Hearing this, Alexander also laughed.

"Interesting, but we also need to pay attention to what's happening in Spain."

"Your Majesty, do you mean to gain benefits from it?"

"We need to make some contingency plans. Right now our foreign minister is meeting with the Spanish foreign minister about matters involving some Spanish territories."

"Your Majesty, I think the Spaniards can still give up a few insignificant islands, but their territories in America will definitely be revolted by people, not just one family. Those Criollos, which is Creole in French, are not satisfied with the king's rule, and they are not even like the Americans who just want tax cuts."

Solovyov knew that the thirteen colonies simply wanted tax cuts and representation in Congress, but George III refused.

Then the British encountered a counterattack from European countries, and the United States emerged.

But the problem with Spain is that Madrid obviously does not have adequate control over these areas.

However, it is unlikely that Russia will gain too many benefits from Spain. The Spanish obviously cannot control the affairs of the Rossburg Colony. Although their New Spain colony in Mexico has expanded from near Vancouver to Guatemala in Central America, there are many places that Spain cannot control.

For example, the territory of Chief Seattle, now also called Seattle, was almost impossible for the Spanish to get involved.

On the contrary, the Russian and British explorers were warmly welcomed by the young chief Seattle. They were treated to good food and drink, and were accompanied by young girls from the tribe. It was as if these people were warriors who were practicing the tribal tradition of walking marriage.

Both Britain and Russia wanted to gain benefits from Spain, but their demands were different.

Russia was more interested in securing its Rossberg colony and regaining from Spain the island of Bioko, which it had captured from Portugal in 1778, and Britain supported this.

What the British were eyeing were Latin America's raw materials and markets.

In a situation where each side gets what it needs, although Britain and Russia have become antagonistic after defeating France, there are still areas for cooperation between the two sides.

But how much Russia can get is also a question.

"Misha, actually North America is a nice place, but we lack population there."

"Sire, if there are only French expatriates there, although they are now under the protection of our country, there must always be Russians there."

"I know this, too. Our Minister of Colonies has been to the Aleutian Islands. You also know that my father accepted the petition there."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I was an aide-de-camp at the time and saw the petition."

The content included the fact that the indigenous people in the Aleutian region were being exploited too harshly, and it was inevitable that the petition would be passed back through the local Orthodox missionaries.

In addition, the Russian-American Company had been making losses every year since 1806, and the number of troops stationed there could not have exceeded one thousand. However, there was profit from fur, and if managed properly, it could still turn losses into profits.

It's just that he can't follow the Russian way. Solovyov doesn't want to go to America by himself, but Duke Enghien is still there. He may have a mother-in-law in every tribe - after all, such a noble aristocrat on the west coast of North America has a status equivalent to that of a war chief or a great shaman or witch doctor of a large tribe. The French also like to have mistresses. Probably this duke will not have to come back to inherit the title of Prince of Condé.

At the same time, the Duke did not want to return to France as there were some conflicts of interest between his family and the Bourbon family.

At that time, the three generations of Prince Condé organized an army of at least 10,000 people, but all the benefits went to Louis XVIII and the Count of Artois.

This created the conditions for division. Solovyov's idea was to keep the duke in North America. He was not interested in becoming king, just like the current Russian Minister of the Navy is a French royalist and is unwilling to return to France.

"How about establishing a duchy and having the Duke of Enghien as governor?"

"Although your idea is a bit absurd, Misha, it is not impossible. At least we can implement your fantastic ideas, just like sending the French from Santo Domingo across New Spain to Fort Ross."

"It just cost a lot of money at the time. Now there are always some benefits. We have been able to supply food to the Alaskan outposts through the fertile fields around the bay, but this is also limited."

Alexander nodded in agreement, and he also said something.

"It would be too cruel to exile the prisoners to Siberia in the future. If they could calm down and think in a secluded place like America, I think many people would be able to repent, and even their whole family could go there."

Alexander always wanted to show that he was kind, so it's not surprising that he had this idea.

"Your Majesty, is it only America?"

"It depends on how much we can get, and this matter is not handled by you. Wait until the Grand Tutor sends the results of the negotiation with the Chinese emperor's representative, and then start a new plan."

Solovyov knew that only he could accomplish this mission, and going to China was not a modesty or a cowardly act. (End of this chapter)
