"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is imperative to send to Poland to bring back all the troops and to dismiss Kutuzov, and at the same time to send someone to Prussia to explain to Prussia in order to dispel Prussia's hostility towards our country."
Paul stubbornly stated his opinion, but as soon as his words landed, before the Empress could reply, someone jumped out in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is nonsense, according to the ritiah period, it will take at least seven or eight days from Poland to this place, and seven or eight days is enough time for our army to march from Poland to East Prussia, perhaps at this moment, our ** team has already exchanged hands with the Prussians, the minister thinks that the top priority now should be to mobilize troops from all over the country into Poland, and at the same time send people to Prussia, if the Prussian army does not have an exchange of fire with our army, once the exchange of fire, our country should officially declare war on Prussia, Instead of removing Kutuzov from his post as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, or explaining to Prussia zhèngfu" The name of the person who spoke was Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin, and the identity of this person was not simple, he was the mistress of Catherine II, and it is said that the second daughter of Catherine II, Elizabeth Potemkina, was the empress and her crystal.
Since 1774, after the two hooked up, Potemkin has almost become Catherine's right and left hand, and almost all militaristic politics are from the hands of Ekaterina and Potemkin.
Paul's face turned red and white at Potemkin's words, during which Paul glanced up at Catherine II, only to see them silent.
Swear to God that Paul wanted to kill the woman sitting on it and the dog man in front of him, but Paul told himself in his heart to be patient, and retorting at this moment would only make his future situation even worse.
Potemkin couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he saw that Paul was being taught by himself, but then another voice sounded.
"Marshal Potemkin, I would like to ask you, do you know what you are doing, if you do what you say, it will only lead our country into the abyss of war, at the moment our country is not ready to fight against other countries, especially Prussia, such a big country, and the Swedes in the north, the Ottomans in the south are looking at us, if one is not good, they will wait for the opportunity to make trouble, do you have any way to deal with it, I think your statement is irresponsible to the Russian Empire" A man came out and said defiantly to Potemkin that the man who spoke was Grigory Grigorievich Orlov, who was also the empress's mistress.
Hearing this, Paul raised his head and looked at Orlov in amazement, he didn't expect Orlov to help him speak, but then he lowered his head again.
Orlov did not see Paul's small movements, and after refuting Potemkin, he said to the empress: "Your Majesty, at the moment our country is not ready for war, and the battle is really a little hasty at this time, I think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, our country should send people to Prussia to settle the suspicions with Prussia, and at the same time, for Kutuzov, who sent troops without permission and had no king, the minister thinks that he should be sentenced heavily."
After saying this, Orlov took advantage of the moment when he bowed his head and glanced fiercely at Potemkin.
For the small actions of her two lovers under the throne, Catherine II sitting on the throne can be said to be insightful, but she has no good way to adjust the contradictions between the two.
Although the empress is now in love with Potemkin, and even has the idea of marrying Potemkin, it was Orlov who gave her the greatest help at the beginning.
In April 1762, Catherine II gave birth to a boy, the father of whom was Orlov.
A few months after the birth of the child, Peter heard the news and immediately became furious and ordered Catherine to be arrested.
But Peter's adjutant hesitated, and in the end, with the persuasion of everyone, Peter temporarily changed the order to arrest Catherine.
Later, at a state banquet celebrating the signing of the peace treaty with Prussia, Peter openly insulted Catherine II in front of many domestic and foreign guests, and the relationship between the two was close from then on.
At the same time, the Orlov brothers intensified their tandem activities in the Guards, secretly forming a group of officers of several hundred people, preparing to instigate a coup d'état, overthrow Peter III and support Catherine on the throne.
By the end of June 1762, the situation was so critical that a Guards officer who had been involved in planning the coup was arrested, and the coup plot was exposed.
Catherine II and the Orlov brothers, having the support of Empress Elizabeth's favorite retainers Razumovsky, Duke Volkonsky, and Emperor Penning, staged a coup d'état ahead of schedule and overthrew Peter III.
From then until 1772, Orlov was the empress's most trusted and cherished companion until the advent of Potemkin.
After the appearance of Potemkin, Orlov gradually fell out of favor, in 1775 he left Poland, and in 1777 Orlov and his cousin married abroad.
But in 1778, Her Majesty suddenly remembered her lover for some reason, and sent Orlov back, and appointed him head of the Russian Army Academy.
And Orlov has indeed not disappointed the empress in recent years, and the originally lazy and arrogant Xingge has also become diligent and hardworking, although the empress doesn't love him now, but for Orlov, the empress still has a friendship.
Well, except for the two ex-mistresses and current mistresses who spoke, no one in the room spoke, and everyone knows the reason for these two openings.
Kutuzov was introduced to Catherine II by Potemkin, and the power of the pillow wind and Kutuzov's own talent made him rise to the top, but at the age of thirty-six he became the supreme commander of the Russian army in Poland.
And because Potemkin has become more and more favored by the empress this year, his deepening participation in Russian political affairs has made many Russian nobles and generals dissatisfied with him, and thus stood on the opposite side of Potemkin, Orlov is this faction.
Of course, there is a third major force in Russian politics, that is, Paul's crown prince's faction, which supports Paul's ascension to the throne, and the nobles who are dissatisfied with the hands of women and mistresses in the current Russian political capital form this faction, although this faction can only rank third in the Russian political arena, but its power is a headache for the empress.
Because Paul's supporters were some of the Elizabeth Empress or the old nobles left over from the time of Peter the Great, these nobles insisted on royal blood, and because many of them were figures like Morakot, who controlled fiefs and armies, the empress gave up every time she wanted to abolish Paul.
Seeing the two lovers staring at each other in the audience, Catherine II raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "It's all for me to stand up, we're talking about military affairs now, I'm asking you to come over and give me ideas, not to let you come over and raise your eyebrows."
Under the pressure of the empress, everyone turned into sheep again, and the previous tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
