Some people here may wonder why Plivsky, who has never met Kleiman at all, is sure that the Kleiman in front of him is not impersonated. In fact, there is a person in Plivsky's army who knows Kleiman.
It was Rezaviv who went to hire Cossacks as Morak's envoy. After receiving the report from his subordinates, Pliski took Rezaviv to Kleinman's tent. Although he hadn't seen him for a while, he
Rezaviv still recognized at a glance that the unconscious man lying in the tent was Clayman.
Of course, Plivsky's calculations were ringing in his mind. Although he didn't understand why Kleiman appeared in this place and became so depressed, when he saw his appearance, he knew that Kleiman's life would definitely be over.
The result was unsatisfactory, and the worst result was that the lair was destroyed, and Kleiman only escaped with his own life.
When Pliski learned the news about the fall of Königsberg from Kleiman, he still couldn't help but feel a little entangled. Now Pliski was standing opposite the Prussian army. Once the rebels were eliminated, those Prussian troops would definitely
He will attack himself.
But Kleiman's next words made Pliski happy again. Kleiman told him that the Russian reinforcements had arrived outside Königsberg and had engaged the Prussian army, but because of the Prussian
The army had a superiority in strength, so the Russians did not break through the Prussian army's defense line, so Königsberg was captured.
Of course, Kleiman still has a hand here. If the Russians have not used their full strength at all, then Pliski will definitely have doubts, because they are rootless duckweeds now, and they must find a strong enough
Give them a big tree to protect them from the wind and rain, and the Russians are undoubtedly the best choice.
Now that the Russian and Prussian armies have fought, no matter who it is, they will not simply let each other go. As the son of Morak, Kleiman inherited Morak's huge political power in East Prussia.
Reputation, he can completely rely on the shadow of his father's generation to create a blue sky for himself.
Hearing that the Russians had joined the war, Plivsky knew that his opportunity had come. Since the Russians had already participated in the war, as long as he could contact the Russians and use the Cossack cavalry in his hands as a bargaining chip, Plivsky seemed to
When we reach the golden avenue at our feet, of course, we still need to stabilize Clayman in front of us.
Seeing Pliski looking at him with deep meaning, Kleiman couldn't help but feel a chill.
The rebellion started by Morak and spread to the entire East Prussia region was put down by the Prussian army in June. Looking out the window at the city of Königsberg, which was filled with ruins due to the war, Henry was silent, watching the footsteps of spring.
Not a single mark was left in Königsberg. The damage caused by the war was huge, so huge that Henry could not feel any joy at all now.
Moreover, there was a Russian army outside Königsberg, which made Henry feel uncomfortable. There had been no action since the Russian army retreated back to their military camp that day. Henry believed that the Russians were waiting for something.
In the Russian military camp outside the city, Mikhailev sneezed heavily. Of course, Mikhailev did not know that there was someone in Königsberg who had been thinking about him.
On the day that the Prussian army captured Königsberg, Mikhailev sent someone to report the situation here to Kutuzov. Without Kutuzov's order, Mikhailev did not dare to do anything.
Any action to provoke the Prussians opposite.
Mikhailev believed that if Prussia had not been worried about whether to declare a full-scale war with the Russians, his army would have been eaten by the Prussians. But even if Prussia did not attack him now, its own
The situation made Mikhailev always feel a little anxious and uneasy.
Just when Mikhailev was in a daze in his military tent as usual, an attendant stumbled in. Before Mikhailev could ask questions, the attendant handed the letter in his hand to Mikhailev.
husband.
Seeing the action of this attendant, Mikhailev no longer bothered to ask him about his crime. Instead, he quickly took the letter, tore open the cover and read it carefully word by word.
After reading it, Mikhailev laughed several times. His usual nervous and nervous image was gone. Mikhailev was not unreasonably happy. The letter in his hand was Kutuzov's reply to him.
When Kutuzov learned that the city of Königsberg had been captured by the Prussian army, he felt as if his head was about to be torn apart. Could it be that the situation really had to reach that point on its own? But in this way, he
What we face is either a bright future or an abyss.
But after all, he had already prepared the worst in his mind, so Kutuzov was not panicked by the news. After thinking for a while, he wrote this letter that made Mikhailev happy.
Of course, Mikhailev had informed Kutuzov of the strength comparison between the enemy and our forces near Königsberg, and Kutuzov's response was to order Mikhailev to stay put and wait for reinforcements. Kutuzov would personally
He led the army to East Prussia to join Mikhailev.
The Russian army in Poland only had more than 30,000 troops. At the beginning, Kutuzov supported Morak with 2,000 troops, and then sent 6,000 troops from Mikhailev. Now Kutuzov can still command the Russian army.
The Russian army still has more than 20,000 troops. These Russian troops are about the same number as the Prussian army. For the sake of safety, Kutuzov also needs to leave a certain amount of troops in Poland to suppress the situation.
After comprehensive consideration, Kutuzov decided to target the Polish army.
Although the Kingdom of Poland was bullied by Russia, Prussia, and Austria like Sun Tzu, and even its territory was divided up by others two and three times, Poland has a large army. If you look at it from the outside, the Kingdom of Poland has an army of 70,000, but
Of these 70,000 troops, only more than 10,000 were directly affiliated with the Polish King Augustan. The 4,000 Polish troops borrowed by Kutuzov were directly affiliated with Augustan.
Of course, balance is important. Kutuzov knew that if he borrowed all the troops in Augustan's hands at once, then the always timid king would fight him desperately no matter how reluctant he was.
Because the king of the Kingdom of Poland is an electoral system, whoever is stronger and more powerful can be the king.
Therefore, Kutuzov did not decide to borrow troops from Augustan this time, but instead set his sights on the Polish nobles.
Because the situation in Königsberg became more critical, Kutuzov decided to send the 5,000 Russian troops and 4,000 Polish troops he had prepared at the beginning to Königsberg to reinforce Mikhailev.
In this way, there were more than 13,000 Russian troops in Königsberg. Even the Prussian army would have to be extremely wary of such a force if it wanted to take action.
Kutuzov's idea was certainly good, but how could his actions be concealed from the powerful Russian Majesty Queen Catherine II, who originally sent Mikhailev to lead six thousand people in Kutuzov?
Shortly after the Russian army entered Königsberg, the Empress learned of Kutuzov's little actions from the intelligence department in her hands.
Of course, Her Majesty the Queen was relatively tolerant of her beloved general. She did not immediately give Kutuzov an order strictly prohibiting private actions. Her Majesty the Queen was also unwilling to see Kleiman when Russia had already invested a lot of energy.
The defeat of the rebels.
Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen simply ordered the intelligence department to keep an eye on Kutuzov's actions and report immediately if there were any abnormalities. Subconsciously, Her Majesty the Queen was not willing to have a direct confrontation between Russia and Prussia, and she could also understand her lover.
What is on your mind.
But the Queen's laissez-faire finally made Kutuzov lose control. When he learned from his own news channels that everything was normal in St. Petersburg and that the Queen was not very concerned about the situation in East Prussia, Kutuzov thought that his actions were good.
He hid the truth from the Queen and became more and more bold.
The reason why the 30,000 Russian troops were deployed in Poland was not without consideration by the Queen. You must know that even though the Russian Empire has hundreds of thousands of troops, its territory is still very vast.
Sweden in the north, Crimea on the Black Sea, and the Tatars in the east are all enemies of Russia, and hundreds of thousands of troops are also restrained in various areas. The 30,000 Russian troops in Poland are all for
Another important purpose of guarding against the Prussians and Polish national independence (and anti-harmony) elements is to radiate Eastern Europe. From a strategic level, Her Majesty the Queen cannot tolerate the Polish region being turned into an empty shell.
If Her Majesty the Queen learns that Kutuzov is so frantic that he wants to drain all the Russian garrison in Poland, Kutuzov will definitely be torn into pieces.
However, following Kutuzov's military order, the already prepared 5,000 Russian troops and 4,000 Polish troops quickly marched to Königsberg under Kutuzov's order. Several major generals had already received Kutuzov's orders.
According to the order, if any Prussian army dares to block the front of the Russian army's march, then the Russian army must resolutely destroy the enemy in front of them.
How could Mikhailev not be excited when he learned that nine thousand reinforcements were about to arrive? As long as there were reinforcements, what would happen even if there were twenty thousand Prussian troops on the opposite side? Mikhailev believed that with the army in his hands, even
Even if it was besieged by the Prussian army, it could hold out for more than a week.
Just when Mikhailev was full of confidence, Henry also received a piece of intelligence in his hands. The intelligence showed that 5,000 Russian troops and 4,000 Polish troops already stationed at the junction of Poland and East Prussia were heading towards East Prussia.
Come.
After receiving the news, Henry's first feeling was: the Russians are crazy.
