"With a full 20,000 troops, plus 40,000 troops originally stationed in Poland, Kutuzov's heart was eaten by wolves!
Otherwise, how could there be such a dog guts!
” "Your Majesty, don't get excited, if Kutuzov is really related to the matter on the Black Sea, then this matter will be troublesome!"
Rumyantsev did not hesitate to express his worries, and his worries also infected everyone in the room, and Paul tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart, so as not to affect his ability to think.
"Now Marshal Suvorov has taken 40,000 Janissaries to the Black Sea, and we have less than 30,000 troops near St.
Petersburg, and even if the Praetorian Guards in Moscow are transferred, there are only about 60,000 troops.
But the troops in Moscow must not be transferred, and once the troops in Moscow are transferred, it will definitely cause great riots.............."
Rumyantsev did not continue, but the meaning of his words was understood by everyone.
If the army in the Moscow region cannot be transferred, can the army in the St.
Petersburg region be transferred?
The answer is clearly no.
Considering that the situation in St.
Petersburg is even more complicated than that of Moscow, as the capital of the country and the front line on the border with Sweden, St.
Petersburg's geographical location and political significance are predestined, and the St.
Petersburg Empire must ensure that a sizable army is stationed, not only to deter the country, but importantly, also to the Swedes across the sea.
In this way, after removing the troops of St.
Petersburg and Moscow, where can the Romanlov dynasty have troops to mobilize.
The army of the Caucasus?
The army there was confronting the Ottomans, and the Caucasus was an unstable region that had just been conquered, so it could not be mobilized for the time being.
As for the Far East, not to mention, the empire's army in the Far East totaled less than 30,000, and those armies had to deal with the Tatars.
It is not very necessary and cannot be mobilized.
In addition to the above-mentioned regions, the areas where Russia still has troops are the Black Sea and Russian Poland, which is located under Kutuzov's rule, and the 100,000 troops in the Black Sea region were originally the mobile force of the Empire, but now they have become a bomb on the Empire.
Although Russia has a large number of troops, in the case of non-mobilization, there are only so many standing armies.
"Your Excellency Marshal Rumyantsev, I do not agree with you.
Kutuzov's objection has been revealed.
Now it is not only the major forces in the country that are watching us, I believe that the ambassadors of various countries in our country are also watching what kind of actions our country will take!
If we turn a blind eye to Kutuzov's actions or even indulge them, then what will the people in the country think of us?
What will the world think of us?
Is it possible to put the situation in which we in Russia, which are already powerless, on the stage for all countries to see?
When the time comes, once the reality of our country is recognized, who will dare to guarantee that Sweden, Ottomans, Prussia and even Austria will not take this opportunity to coerce the Empire!
” Just as the people in the room were very quiet because of Rumyantsev's words, one of the five generals standing behind him stepped forward, and he was none other than His Excellency Kalevsky, the former Lieutenant Colonel of the Praetorian Guard, and now Major General of the Praetorian Guard, who helped Paul succeed in the coup.
"Kalevsky, I admit that there is some truth in what you said, but have you thought about the current state of the empire?
If we rush to send troops, we won't win or lose for the time being.
Where do you mobilize troops from?
Is it true that we are going to carry out a national mobilization for the Kutuzov affair?
Have you thought about the consequences of doing so?
” "Your Excellency Rumyantsev, your behavior is completely negative, as long as we act fast enough and complete a thunderous blow to Kutuzov, even if it is a national mobilization!
On the contrary, once we carry out a national mobilization, hundreds of thousands of troops are at our fingertips, and when the time comes, with these forces, who in the country will dare to oppose His Majesty the Tsar!
” As soon as Kalevsky finished speaking, Rumyantsev saw that Paul's face actually revealed a look of interest.
At that time, Rumyantsev was shocked, and he must not let Paul be fooled by Kalevsky.
"You're crazy, do you know what kind of ripple effects will happen if Russia goes through a national mobilization.
When the time comes, Sweden, the Ottomans, and all the countries that are adjacent to us will definitely take action, and if anything happens then, it will be a great war!
And mobilization will greatly deplete our national strength, do you think the empire can withstand such a toss?
” As he spoke, Rumyantsev looked at Paul again, and saw that Paul's original expression of impulse had disappeared, so he said with more force: "Of course not, Your Majesty, now all our hopes are in the Black Sea region, if only Marshal Suvorov can pacify the Black Sea region and take back military power.
Then Kutuzov is just a clown-like existence, and before Marshal Suvorov does not take back military power, our army has its own mission, and there is no spare strength to clean up Kutuzov for the time being!

” What Rumyantsev said was very objective, and the objectivity made Paul a little unbearable, but after thinking about it, what the old marshal said was indeed correct, because the changes of the Russian army in the Black Sea caused the current Nuoda Empire to be unable to get a small prince, which made Paul hate the original Potemkin's subordinates even more.
"But ............."
Before Kalevsky could say what he wanted to say, his words were interrupted by the voice of an attendant "Your Majesty, it's not good!"
A chamberlain pushed open the door and hurried to Paul's ear, and Rumyantsev, who was standing opposite Paul, could clearly see that Paul's forehead suddenly burst into green tendons.
"These damned traitors!
They will definitely be punished by the Empire, and I want them all to die for me!
” Paul could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, only to see him jump up and knock over the pile of papers on the desk.
The chamberlain was also shocked to see Paul's reaction, and he quickly fell to his knees.
Panting, Paul kicked the kneeling attendant to the ground and scolded: "You waste, you can't do this little thing, what's the use of me raising you!
Send me someone to chase after me at once, if I can't catch up with those people.
I'm definitely going to let you go to God!
” "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will chase after you!"
As he spoke, the chamberlain rushed out of the room.
After waiting for the chamberlain, looking at the excited Paul, Rumyantsev asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?"
"The families of Akhfsky, Blankov, and Illinov are missing, and Nikolavich's family has been snatched up, and I should have put them all in a prison cell.
Now it's good.
All gone!
” As he spoke, the expression on Paul's face became more and more hideous, and the appearance of gritting his teeth made people look scared.
"Your Majesty, I think it is estimated that they may not be able to run far if they want to, we can immediately send people to pursue along the line from St.
Petersburg to the Black Sea, and at the same time issue wanted warrants to the cities along the route, I don't think they can escape!"
Hearing Rumyantsev's words, Paul lowered his head and thought for a while "Well, I'll give the order and do as you say.
In addition, Your Excellency Marshal, I need you to increase the combat effectiveness of the Janissaries as soon as possible, and as for Kutuzov, let him do it once for now!
” Obviously, after the anger, Paul came to his senses again, and this sanity was also comforted by Rumyantsev.
"Yes, my majesty!"
With that, Rumyantsev saluted, glanced at Kalevsky, and then walked out of the room first.
Kalevsky looked at Rumyantsev's back and gritted his teeth secretly, but when he looked at Paul, he saw that Paul's face was already a look of interest.
In desperation, Kalevsky had no choice but to leave the room with several other generals. ..................................................
Suvorov was rushing to Nikolavich with 40,000 Russian troops, and at that moment, a herald brought news that made him very angry.
Except for the First Army, the rest of the Black Sea Russian army has rushed to the Crimean Peninsula, and this herald is the subordinate of the squadron leader of the 4th Squadron of the 13th Regiment of the Praetorian Guard, Wimoska, who Suvorov sent to Nikolaev to give orders.
After receiving a hint from the battalion commander in Nikolaev, Wimoska led his squadron all the way to Kherson, but in Kherson they did not find even a ghost of the Russian army in the Black Sea, but Wimoska did not give up.
He rushed to the Crimean Peninsula again.
But on the way, Wimoska and others were stopped by a team of Russian troops, although Wimoska revealed his identity, but this group of Russian troops still did not let Wimoska and others pass, but also detained all of them under the pretext of suspecting that they were spies.
Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Wimoska hurriedly used herself as a cover to let one of her cavalrymen escape, and this cavalryman collapsed a little after nearly three days of driving, and after telling Suvorov, this cavalry warrior fainted gloriously.
Suvorov clenched his fists, his nails already digging into the flesh of his palms.
"Order the army to speed up, we must get to Nikolaev by tonight!"
After speaking, Suvorov whipped his horsewhip, and under the role of his representative, although the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were already physically and mentally exhausted, they had no patience, so they had to muster the last strength in their hearts and quickly followed.
In the evening of the same day, Suvorov appeared under the city of Nikolaev as promised, this time probably because there were too many people behind Suvorov, and his rank of marshal may be too lethal, only to see that when most of the Janissaries appeared under the city of Nikolaev, the soldiers defending the city had obediently opened the gate of Le'er.
Suvorov rushed to the Russian headquarters in the city in a rage, but as happened to Wimoska, there was still only the battalion commander in the headquarters.
After a brief understanding of the situation, Suvorov did not embarrass the battalion commander, after all, the battalion commander was wounded in the war is quite sympathetic, after sending away which battalion commander, Suvorov hurried to the data room of the command in the hope of getting some clues.
But at this moment, there is still a little bit of information in the headquarters data room, all the rooms are empty except for the tables and chairs, and some of the desktops are even covered with cobwebs.
Anger instantly welled up in his heart, and Suvorov tried his best to make his face not look so ugly.
After sitting at the command for a while, Suvorov sent his cavalry to the surrounding area in several units to inquire about the news, and the old marshal had already made up his mind if the cavalry did not get the news.
He will lead the whole army to the Crimean Peninsula, and he does not believe that with the escort of 40,000 troops, Akhfsky's group dares to do anything to himself!
Early the next morning, the news spread throughout Mykolaiv, and at the same time the news also terrified the hearts of all who heard it, the news that the Ottoman army of 200,000 deployed in Wallachia had captured Moldova, and now the Ottoman Crown Prince Selim himself led an army of 140,000 troops approaching Nikolaev.
When the news reached Suvorov, who was having breakfast, the old marshal was so shocked that he even threw his knife and fork on the ground, joking.

At the moment, the 100,000-strong army of the Russian army in the Black Sea is suppressing the rebellion in the Crimean Peninsula.
At this time, there were only 40,000 troops of Suvorov in Nikolaev, and even if the Ottomans were inferior in combat effectiveness, the huge superiority and suddenness in strength were enough to make up for these shortcomings.
"Immediately order martial law throughout the city, and at the same time immediately send cavalry to the police, extend the reconnaissance area to a radius of a hundred miles, tell the cavalry to come back and report to me as soon as they find the Ottomans, and if possible, to find out how many troops the Ottomans have sent!"
By the way, I'll find out who sent the news in."
Suvorov hurriedly gave an order to his adjutant, and then rushed to the original command post of the Russian army, but there was no way.
Although it is empty, there are still a few maps, and the size of the place is also an important factor.
Someone asked why Suvorov did not doubt the authenticity of the news?
In fact, the problem is very simple, this news has spread throughout Nikolaev in a short period of time, indicating that it is definitely not groundless, even if someone deliberately disrupts the order, Suvorov has sent people to martial law throughout the city and let his adjutant investigate.
In addition, Catherine II was preparing to fight the Ottomans this year, and the 200,000 troops of the Ottomans had been assembled for some time, and this Suvorov knew about it.
Now the Black Sea region is a time of chaos, if the Ottomans are well-informed.
This is definitely the best time, so if someone told Suvorov that the Ottomans were coming, the old marshal would definitely believe it.
If he had been in the shoes of an Ottoman manager, he would not have given up this opportunity.
With Suvorov's order, the Russian sentries in the city of Nikolaev scattered in all directions, and these sentries rushed to the east with Suvorov's mission, where there were their fateful enemies.
From 1676 onwards, Russia and the Ottomans were entangled as enemies of fate, with an average war occurring in less than 19 years.
After Catherine II came to power, the two countries fought even more, and the victory in the Fifth Russian-Turkish War allowed Russia to get the coveted outlet to the Black Sea, and since then the Crimean Han State has become history.
This time, the Ottomans mobilized more troops than at any time in history, and the strength of the entire 200,000 troops was even close to the combined strength of the two countries in the last Russo-Turkish war, which shows how determined the Ottomans were this time.
In the command, Suvorov sat at the table and thought for a while and picked up a pen, but then he put it down again, and so on and so on and hesitated for a long time.
Suvorov hesitated about how to inform St.
Petersburg of the situation, and now it was not clear how many troops the Ottomans had sent, their goals, etc., and what could be done at this time except to add to the trouble.
"Your Excellency Marshal, the news of the Ottomans' march came from them!"
The adjutant's voice woke Suvorov, who was thinking, and he looked up at his adjutant, only to see his adjutant followed by several people, one of whom was only about thirteen years old and still a child.
"Who are you?
Where did it come from?
” Hearing Suvorov's question, these people seemed to cringe, but one person was the exception "Hello Your Excellency, we have escaped from Chisinau, which has already been captured by the Ottomans, and it is only a side that is not enough to capture Iasi, and it is said that the main forces of the Ottoman army are heading towards Nikolaev!"
"Oh, who are you!"
"Your Excellency, I am a timber merchant, and the timber in Chisinau has always been very prosperous, so I went to Chisinau with a caravan some time ago, but who knew that I actually met the Ottomans" As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on the man's face.
"Are you sure?"
"Your Excellency, although my family is not a famous family, but in Mykolaiv, our Yodel family is still somewhat famous, if you don't believe it, you can marry a resident of Nikolaev and ask casually, I guarantee that my words are absolutely true with the reputation of the family!"
Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him swearing to the sky, Suvorov had some faith in his heart, and the news was too big, if anyone joked about this, it would be looking for death.
"Who is this child?"
Suvorov pointed to the child who was hiding behind several people "Oh, my honorable Excellency, this child is the child of Ter, the tax collector of Chisinau, whose father entrusted him to me to escape" "Oh God!"
So saying, Suvorov drew a cross on his chest, and then he said to his adjutant: "Take them down and settle them down, and wait until the news is confirmed before letting them go."
Saying that, Suvorov glanced at the people again and said: "You don't have an opinion?"
"Your Excellency, you have ordered this, so what can we do, but with your life, this news is absolutely true, please prepare early" Suvorov nodded, and then the men followed Suvorov's adjutant out, and Suvorov was the only one in the room looking at the map.
