Therefore, giving up the alliance with Denmark is undoubtedly equivalent to cutting off an arm. How could a talented person like Catherine II accept such conditions?
The four demands were overturned one by one by Catherine II. In fact, this is inevitable. No matter at any time, the demands raised in the negotiations are always water-based, and this requires the efforts of diplomats. How can we do this?
To satisfy everyone, there is a lot of knowledge involved.
After getting Catherine II's answer, Owolov hurried to the Prussian Embassy. Ovorov felt a little sympathetic to him along the way. The constant running and mental exhaustion in the past few days made Owolov very sad.
Obviously a little thinner.
After Owolov arrived at the Prussian embassy, he told Scotair all of the queen's requests, but to his surprise, Scotair did not show any excitement, but just kept quiet.
Sitting there without saying a word, of course Scotair was thinking about the meaning of Catherine II's request. As a qualified diplomat, every word spoken by the other party must be studied thoroughly.
"Your Excellency Oworov, the request I made to your queen is really far from our bottom line. The mere two million silver coins are not enough to make up for our losses, and in the most important region of Lithuania,
As well as the establishment of the Polish military buffer zone, Her Majesty the Queen of your country has exceeded our country's bottom line. I think this is an unrealistic proposal."
When Owolov was almost finished drinking a teapot of Eastern European black tea, Scotair finally spoke.
"Your Excellency Scott, we all know that the request you made is obviously unrealistic, and you must also know the water content in it. I think the proposal made by the Queen of our country has fully taken into account the actual situation.
, Her Majesty the Queen’s suggestions are real and feasible.”
"Okay, Mr. Oworov, let's not talk in secret. It is impossible for us to change Lithuania's territorial claims. Let's do it this way. From Siauliai in the north to Kaunas in the south, there are only about three acres of this land.
More than 10,000 square kilometers. In exchange, our country can agree to your Queen's proposal to set up a military buffer zone one hundred miles north of Warsaw. The other two million marks in silver coins are too little. Our country can lower the requirement. Just five hundred.
Ten thousand silver coins, and regarding the Danish issue, our country believes that your country's alliance with an ambitious country like Denmark is not a good thing for the stability of the entire Baltic Sea region, so as the basis for the armistice, your country must agree to sever its alliance with Denmark.
"
As soon as Scotair finished speaking, he looked at Ovorov in a daze, and when he looked at him, Ovorov shuddered.
"Your Excellency Scottil, I have already said that Lithuania will never cede any land! It is part of the Kingdom of Poland. The people there have the right to be free, and our country will never give in on the Danish issue.
Yes, as for money matters, we can discuss them."
As soon as Oworov finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup again. Although he was not very thirsty, he could avoid Scotaire's penetrating gaze.
In fact, there are currently two focal points of dispute between Prussia and the Russian Empire, one is Lithuania and the other is the Danish issue.
First of all, Lithuania is an important part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Lithuanian region has always been the focus of Sweden, Russia, and Prussia.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was formed in 1386 when Jogaila, the monarch of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania who converted to Catholicism, married a Polish princess in that year. This union not only made Lithuania the last country in Europe to accept Christianity, but also made Lithuania the last country in Europe to accept Christianity.
Lithuania gradually accepted Polish culture.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth reached its golden age in the early 17th century. Its powerful Parliament (Sejm) was controlled by the nobles who participated in the Thirty Years' War, allowing Poland to stand out in a Europe that was basically destroyed by religious wars at that time.
able to maintain its strength. The Commonwealth was able to fight single-handedly against Sweden, Muscovy, and the Ottoman princes, sometimes successfully defeating its neighbors. In the Russo-Persian War of 1605, the Commonwealth forces created their most powerful attack on Russia.
A good record. They captured Moscow, the capital of Russia, in 1610.
But then a series of accidents caused the federation's national strength to decline. In history, by 1795, when Poland was partitioned for the third time by Prussia and Russia, the entire Lithuania was incorporated into Russia. (Of course, during the third time in history, Poland was partitioned,
Warsaw was given to Prussia)
In fact, it is not unreasonable for Prussia to ask for Lithuania. By getting half of Lithuania, Prussia is equivalent to inserting a knife into Russia. You must know that since 1712, the then Russian Czar Peter I moved the capital from Moscow.
Moved to St. Petersburg, and Lithuania and St. Petersburg are only separated by Latvia and Estonia. Once half of Lithuania is occupied by Prussia, the Russian nobles in St. Petersburg will always feel the threat of Prussia.
Of course, it is precisely because of this consideration that Catherine II did not agree to hand over Lithuania to Prussia. Although Lithuania is currently the territory of the Kingdom of Poland and has nothing to do with Russia, Russia has actually completed its
Lithuania's infiltration, so this condition cannot circumvent Russia no matter what.
As for the alliance with Denmark, this alliance was originally established to prevent Prussia from getting stronger. How could Russia destroy the Great Wall?
After a half-day argument, neither Skoteir nor Owolov was willing to give in on the conditions. The two sides were tit-for-tat, but both sides were veteran diplomats, and every word they said to each other would be criticized.
In-depth research and then counterattack, so time passed quickly in the exchange of words between the two sides. Naturally, the war of words in St. Petersburg could not affect Kutuzov, who was on the run. He was now far away from joining Kulichko.
It has been some time since the husband's death. In the past few days, Kutuzov has led the remaining Russian troops under his command to march towards the Russian Polish region. However, the journey has been quite uneven. Not only must he guard against the attacks of the uprising teams,
And you also have to fight mosquitoes.
Finally this kind of life was liberated today. When he saw a village with a Russian military camp on the road, Kutuzov burst into tears. He looked at the Russian troops behind him who looked like a fleeing team. Kutuzov
Another burst of sadness came to my heart.
But he finally arrived at his destination, but what Kutuzov didn't expect was that just when he was exchanging identities with the local Russian army, he was actually disarmed, and he, Kulichkov and other Russian generals all
He was taken into custody.
Later that day, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.
"Kutuzov, you are so brave."
The visitor woke up the dizzy Kutuzov with a loud shout.
"Marshal Potemkin, you, why are you here?"
Kutuzov looked at the visitor and asked in surprise. The visitor was none other than Potemkin. Just the day before Kutuzov arrived in Russian Poland, Potemkin arrived here. When his subordinates reported to Kutuzov
When the news arrived, Potemkin was discussing the situation in Poland with the generals in the army. But as soon as he heard that Kutuzov was coming, he abandoned the others and hurried over.
"If you hadn't set the trap for me, how could I have come here? Do you know how much trouble you have caused? You are so brave."
As he spoke, Potemkin stepped forward and kicked Kutuzov to the ground, while Kutuzov hurriedly shouted:
"Marshal, marshal, please listen to my explanation."
"Excuse me. Do you know how much trouble your wanton behavior has caused me? The current unrest in Poland can be said to be caused by you. How dare you argue with me?"
Before Kutuzov could explain, Potemkin kicked him hard again. God knows, how much hope Potemkin placed on Kutuzov. If it weren't for his high hopes for Kutuzov, more than thirty people would have died.
How could the young Kutuzov climb to the high position of supreme commander of the Russian army in Poland?
"Your Excellency, Marshal, these are all caused by the Prussians. As God testifies, my loyalty to Your Excellency, Marshal, is evident from heaven and earth!"
Potemkin, somewhat out of breath, stopped, but then he cursed:
"If you were really loyal to me, you wouldn't have caused me so much trouble. Do you know how passive I am in St. Petersburg because of you! Ah! You still dare to say that you are loyal to me. Your heart has been eaten by dogs.
"
"Your Excellency, Marshal, give me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious service. I will definitely help you calm down the situation in Poland. Your Excellency, Marshal, please give me another chance."
Kutuzov begged. Kutuzov did not expect that Potemkin, who had always been gentle and gentle, would be so careless about his image. It was obvious that Kutuzov made him extremely angry.
"If I hadn't read you for some use, I would have ordered you to be executed long ago. Look at the good things you have done. Because of your unauthorized actions, the whole of Poland has become turbulent, and Her Majesty the Queen is also furious because of this.
Do you still have Her Majesty the Queen and me as the Marshal in your eyes?"
Potemkin's shout made Kutuzov speechless. Although he wanted to defend himself, he wisely remained silent in the face of the angry Potemkin.
Seeing that Kutuzov didn't speak, Potemkin, who was a little tired from kicking him just now, walked to a chair opposite Kutuzov and sat down, and then said:
"Kutuzov, why didn't I see that you were so courageous at the beginning? Is it possible for a person of your status to start a war with Prussia without authorization? And there are a total of 20,000 troops. That's 20,000 troops. You
You lost them all to me, you know how disappointed I am in you!"
