In addition to supplies, Ushakov was most concerned about merchant ships, and the Russians communicated with the Prussians that in addition to material purchases, merchant ships were the main concerns.
The Russians hoped to be able to buy a dozen merchant ships from Copenhagen that would not only relieve the crew pressure on the fleet, but also carry large quantities of supplies.
However, the Prussians' reply at first was only to do their best, although later the Prussians sent a commissioner to accompany Rojevich to the shipyard and reluctantly said that if the Russians really needed it, then the shipyard in Copenhagen could deliver the merchant ships that were intended to be delivered to private individuals, but the liquidated damages would have to be paid by the Russians.
The Russians did not dispute this, but when they asked about the time, Prussian officials said that even the fastest would take a month.
In this case, in addition to buying new ships, Ushakov instructed Royevich to try to buy some merchant ships from other sources, such as those in the hands of merchants, as long as they can sail far, then the price is not a problem.
However, after that, except for two merchants who said that they could sell their two merchant ships to the Russians, none of the other merchants expressed their willingness to sell the ships.
In fact, these merchants are not unwilling, after all, the Russians promised to give a price far higher than the market, and even the second-hand price of these merchant ships is enough for them to go to the shipyard and order a new ship of the same type and then have a surplus.
But these businessmen don't dare, and the Copenhagen authorities have already approached them.
And said that whoever dares to do business with the Russians without obeying the orders of the Governor's Office will never want to appear in Copenhagen or other Prussian territories for a long time!
It was this attitude of the Governor's Palace that made almost no one in Copenhagen want to do business with the Russians for a while.
For Ushakov.
For now, we just have to wait. ......................................
In less than two weeks, almost all the cardinals who could be notified arrived in Rome, including the Archbishops of Cologne and Mainz.
The two archbishops came to visit the future as soon as they arrived in Rome, and William was still very satisfied with the attitude of the two archbishops.
On June 13, 1794, the whole of Rome was covered with a gloomy cloud, and the faces of the ordinary inhabitants of Rome, the powerful nobles of the Papal States, and the glorious cardinals were now filled with sorrow.
The funeral of Pope Pius VI took place today in Rome.
Countless Romans gathered around St.
Paul's Square to witness the body of the once amiable pope they had been embraced for by them being carried out of the Vatican Palace and transported to St.
Paul's Cathedral.
At the invitation of the Holy See, William and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire who had stayed in Rome also appeared in St.
Paul's Cathedral.
When the Pope's body was carried to the steps of the church, Felix, who had been chosen for the time, appeared next to the Pope's coffin and began to celebrate Mass.
Speaking of this, it has to be said that the question of who celebrates Mass for Pius VI has also caused a storm in the Holy See, after all, at this juncture.
Felix and Giovanni have been selected from the crowd of candidates for the pontificate, in other words, there is no one else to compete for the next pope.
Therefore, on the question of who should do the Mass, Giovanni and Felix and their supporters also broke out into a fierce debate, and in the end Felix won by a narrow margin.
However, Felix's victory was also accidental, mainly due to some cardinals who had just arrived in Rome and those who were neutral.
After all, Felix had a higher position in the Holy See than Giovanni, so Felix was chosen to be in charge of the funeral Mass for Pius VI.
After the Mass, Pius VI's body was carried into the crypt of St.
Paul's Cathedral, where the Pope of the Holy See was placed.
"Don't be anxious, Giovanni, you still have a chance.
I'm sure you'll win the election this time!
” William said to Giovanni beside him, and now the funeral Mass has ended.
After the end, Giovanni came to visit William's residence, and the two were walking in the gardens of Wilhelm's palace.
"Your Majesty, I can understand your kindness, but it is clear that Felix has now gone ahead of me, so I hope that you and your country can fully support me!"
"Of course, Giovanni, you must know that my support for you has never changed!"
After Giovanni finished speaking, William replied with a smile.
Looking at the smile on William's face, Giovanni's eyes revealed a different kind of gaze.
Felix's visit to William was no secret, and since the end of Felix's visit to William, the attitude of the Prussians has changed somewhat, albeit slightly, but Giovanni has noticed, or rather, Grimmoldon, the thinker on Giovanni's side.
If nothing else, at least in the original competition for who would celebrate Mass for Pius VI, the two archbishops of Cologne and Mainz abstained from voting!
This is actually very revealing.
The two archbishops of Cologne and Mainz were puppets of the Prussians, and if the Prussians instructed them to support Giovanni, how could they abstain from voting on the matter?
It was with this in mind that Hammolton signaled Giovanni to come to Wilhelm as soon as possible, trying not to shake the attitude of the Prussians.
Giovanni, on the other hand, was not available until after Pius VI's funeral today, because of the large amount of food, so he took the opportunity to visit William.
"Of course, the Kingdom of Prussia and His Majesty are the best friends of the Holy See, and they have always been very supportive of him.
Thank you very much for that!

Only, Your Majesty.
You also know that you are a devout Catholic, so you will not disobey God's commandments, and the agreements we have made will not be annulled.
But Felix is different, and I believe that Felix is undoubtedly more suitable to be a politician than a devout believer!
His cunning and contempt for faith are no secret in the Holy See, so I hope Your Majesty will not be fooled by Felix!
” Giovanni's words made William's heart immediately become a little uncomfortable.
William is now the emperor of a country.
Although Giovanni's words were tactful, the meaning of his words was undoubtedly to question whether William had given up the support he had promised him because of some temptation from Felix.
This kind of wordless questioning was undoubtedly quite disgusting to William.
"Your Excellency Giovanni, I am the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and a supporter of the Holy See, and I have told you that I have no intention of getting involved in disputes within the Holy See, and you should understand that.
So Felix's cunning didn't stand in the way of me, but there was a point.
I hope that His Excellency Giovanni needs to be careful not to push his allies to the side of his opponent because of some kind of suspicion, which I have experienced before, and therefore quite know!
” William also pretended to sigh as he spoke.
After listening to William's words, Giovanni was speechless.
Immediately after Pius VI's funeral, William also instructed Henry and others to prepare to leave Rome.
After all, he had stayed long enough in Frankfurt and Rome, and if he didn't go back, William was worried about whether there would be any chaos at home.
And what made William even more reassuring was that as the date of the Pope's election gradually approached, Felix and Giovanni had also arrived at the end of the day.
It's almost time to tear your face apart, in this case.
Prussia is still better away from this whirlpool.
From the current point of view, whether Giovanni or Felix comes to power, they will not change the agreement reached with Prussia, and this is enough for William. ..................................
Napoleon's sweeping sweep through the revolutionary forces of southwestern France made Napoleon's name a term used by most French families to scare children.
But for these, Napoleon did not care very much.
And as Napoleon's liquidation of the revolutionary forces in the south of France came to an end, the voice of the French upper echelons for the removal of Napoleon sounded again for a while.
Napoleon's previous treatment of the local royalist officials in Toulouse had already caused the French upper echelons to be dissatisfied with him, and with the implicit admonition of Louis XVI, Napoleon continued to go his own way, which suddenly made the dissatisfaction of the French upper echelons with Napoleon more and more intense.
"Marshal, there are already many voices of dissatisfaction with us in Paris, and if we continue like this, will there be something inappropriate!"
Just as Napoleon handed over a new list to a general and asked him to arrange for a horse to be sent to Paris, the general, despite his hesitation, raised his question with Napoleon.
It is undeniable that Napoleon did have a high prestige in the army, not only because of Napoleon's compassion for the soldiers, but also because of the praise and practical benefits that the soldiers could gain by following Napoleon.
But as the dissent of the upper echelons of Paris grew, even the commanders of Napoleon's army in the south of France received some rumors, and some of the generals from aristocratic families received instructions from their families to disassociate themselves with Napoleon as soon as possible.
This directive immediately caused some trepidation in the hearts of all of Napoleon's generals.
To tell the truth, they fully supported Napoleon's move, after all, in the process of Napoleon's arrangement of the liquidation of the revolutionary party forces in the south, these generals also made a lot of windfalls, and Napoleon has always turned a blind eye to this situation.
But now, the rumors coming out of Paris are really not good, which makes these always bold generals feel very worried.
After listening to the general's words, Napoleon looked at him with a smile and said: "Andreugie.
You have to know what we are in Toulouse for!
It doesn't matter if there is some dissent in Paris, as long as we can eradicate all those rebellious forces.
Even His Majesty, even if he is a little dissatisfied with what we have done, will never let us be disposed of because of this.
The Bourbons ruled France without us, and our actions now are aimed at consolidating the Bourbons' rule over France!
You know what I mean?
” After listening to Napoleon's words, the officer named Andregi showed a look of understanding on his face, but after Napoleon's words, he did not raise any objections, just saluted Napoleon and walked out of Napoleon's office.
But what Andreugie didn't see was after he was gone.
The look on Napoleon's face immediately became rather unsightly.
Napoleon was unaware of Louis XVI's fears, but he had no other way now.
It was Napoleon's intention to purge in the south of France in the name of the Revolutionary Party, for Napoleon did everything he did to protect himself!
That's right, precisely for self-preservation.
Don't look at the fact that after the Battle of Paris, Napoleon became the first person worthy of the name of the French **.
But at the same time, after the loss of foreign enemies, the resentment that once occurred between him and Louis XVI, Napoleon did not think that Louis XVI would forget!
At the time of the invasion, Napoleon and Louis XVI were able to join forces to fight the enemy for the common good of both sides.

But without the threat of external circumstances, it was clear to both Napoleon and Louis XVI that the present state of relative harmony between the two would not last long.
It is precisely because of this awareness.
That's why Napoleon, when he arrived in the south of France, began to purge the revolutionary forces with the orders given to him by Louis XVI.
On the one hand, the purge of these revolutionary parties could stabilize the current situation in France, and at the same time, Napoleon could also extend his influence to the whole south of France by purging the power of the revolutionary parties!
These months of purges, in addition to putting so many heads on the ground, were for Napoleon.
He himself also received great benefits, that is, the development of his own power.
By washing.
Napoleon placed some of his own cronies in these positions, and it was through these officials who defected to Napoleon that Napoleon brought some of the cities in the south of France under his control.
Including the handling of the civil magistrate of Toulouse some time ago, it was actually an important move by Napoleon in order to root his power in the south of France.
It was through the arrangement of this period that Napoleon had a little confidence in his heart to confront Paris.
But Napoleon did not expect that before his arrangement was fully functional, Paris's reaction would be beyond his imagination.
Napoleon envisioned that even if Louis XVI decided to attack him, it would take a long time to gather forces.
But now it has only been more than half a year since Napoleon arrived in the south of France, but now public opinion in Paris has begun to be noisy to such an extent that even his own army has begun to reverberate.
Immediately after Andregi's departure, Napoleon ordered his attendants to bring in several of his close generals.
"Cruise, can you take full control of your troops!"
When the generals entered the office, Napoleon immediately spoke directly to the generals.
Hearing Napoleon's words, although these generals felt a little incomprehensible in their hearts, the general who was named by Napoleon immediately said: "Your Excellency Marshal, at present my troops are completely under the orders of Your Excellency the Marshal!"
After Cruise finished speaking, the rest of the generals followed.
Hearing the words of these generals, Napoleon was still very satisfied.
At present, nearly half of the more than 40,000 troops he led are controlled by his cronies, and these generals and the army in their hands are the capital in Napoleon's heart.
"Very well, in that case, then order your army to be ready and ready to obey my orders!
As long as my order is issued, if there is any violation of military orders, don't blame me for being ruthless!
” Hearing Napoleon's words, several generals immediately shouted loudly.
Of course, Napoleon's cronies in the army are not only these generals, for Napoleon, security is the most important, even if there are many Napoleon's hidden lines buried in the troops under his command, and these hidden lines are precisely to prevent any accidents.
And just when Napoleon was about to start some arrangements, Louis XVI, who was far away in Paris, also held a court meeting, and the theme of this court meeting was Napoleon.
"Your Majesty, we can no longer indulge Napoleon, if this continues, the southern regions will fall into the hands of Napoleon, if not in the hands of those traitors, which is not good for the Kingdom of France!"
A court minister said to Napoleon.
Hearing the minister's words, Louis XVI's face became a little difficult to look at.
Louis XVI did not know about Napoleon's ambitions, knowing that long before the Anglo-Prussian coalition fought, Napoleon had a heart of self-reliance.
Later, Louis XVI arranged for Napoleon to be attacked and killed at the Palace of Versailles, and Napoleon left the Palace of Versailles after taking Louis XVI hostage.
This incident has always been regarded by Louis XVI as a great disgrace.
Therefore, Louis XVI had long wanted to kill Napoleon and then follow, but he needed to use Napoleon to resist the attack of the coalition forces and the liquidation of those revolutionaries, so Louis XVI endured.
But now the growing calls for Napoleon in Paris forced Louis XVI to take it seriously.
