When Potemkin mentioned the 20,000-strong army, Kutuzov was frightened and asked timidly:
"Marshal, how did you know about my failure?"
"Hmph, how could I not know? When I was on the road a few days ago, I got the news. What do you do when you are the intelligence agency of the empire? This news was obtained from the Prussians. A total of 20,000
Army, even if Kutuzov died a hundred times, this loss would not be worth it."
After hearing Kutuzov's question, Potemkin looked at Kutuzov with a pitiful and sad look. To be honest, when he got the news, Potemkin really wanted to sacrifice Kutuzov.
thoughts.
"Marshal, you must avenge us. These are the Prussians and Poles who colluded to harm me. Our army was not defeated by Prussia but was completely annihilated by the Poles."
Upon hearing Kutuzov's cry, Potemkin was stunned for a moment, but then he said loudly:
"Why are you crying? Tell me exactly what happened this time. If there is any deviation, I will not forgive you."
Looking at Potemkin's face, Kutuzov was overjoyed. Even though Potemkin had been so fierce before, big shots were generally hard to figure out. If he wanted to let Kutuzov die, Potemkin would
General Jin will never talk so much nonsense with Kutuzov. Now as long as Kutuzov can give Potemkin a satisfactory explanation, Kutuzov believes that Potemkin will still be able to protect himself.
"Ever since I led the army from Warsaw, the Poles in the army have been causing trouble for us. They have greatly slowed down the march of the army. By the time we arrived in East Prussia, Morak's rebellion had been suppressed.
The Prussians suppressed it, and then we started a fierce battle with the Prussians under the walls of Königsberg. But the Poles held me back, and their defenses were often broken by the Prussians for no reason. Our army had to go back and forth on the battlefield to provide support.
Until that night, the Polish army suddenly mutinied and caught us by surprise. Fortunately, the Prussian army, which had been on the defensive, changed its previous style and launched a fierce attack on our army. At night, our army
I was caught off guard and surrounded by the Prussians and Poles, Marshal. I tried my best to break through the siege! My purpose of escaping was not to protect my own life. It was to let the Poles and the Prussians fight.
I inform you of the collusion! Your Excellency, Marshal, a total of 20,000 brothers died in East Prussia! They are all my brothers who came from the Crimea with me!"
Kutuzov burst into tears as he spoke. Potemkin did not expect that there was such a large amount of information. According to what Kutuzov said, it seems that the Poles have colluded with the Prussians, which is very harmful to him.
The subsequent situation in pacifying Poland will definitely bring about great changes, Potemkin mused.
Kutuzov would secretly glance at Potemkin's expression between tears. When he saw that Potemkin seemed to have believed his words and was thinking deeply, he quickly knocked his head on the ground and cried:
"Your Majesty, Marshal, it doesn't matter if I die, you have to avenge our 20,000 brothers! Your Majesty, Marshal, you must avenge us."
As he spoke, Kutuzov's cries became louder.
"Okay, shut your mouth. Before Her Majesty the Queen lets you die, you can't die even if you want to. I don't care about what you just said. That's it. I'll ask someone to clean you later.
Look how dirty you are."
As he spoke, Potemkin slapped his nose in disgust, and then walked out of the room where Kutuzov was under house arrest. After Potemkin left, Kutuzov squatted on the ground absentmindedly, and then exhaled a big breath.
He knew that he would not go to see God for the time being, but whether he would do so later would still depend on his performance.
Kulichkov, who was locked in another room, also met Potemkin. Potemkin appreciated Kulichkov even more than Kutuzov. Who made Kulichkov's
His mother and Catherine II were close friends. After listening to Kulichkov's report and learning that the failure of Kulichkov's army was also due to the rebellion of the Poles, Potemkin was heartbroken.
However.
Potemkin thought in his mind: Although both Kutuzov and Potemkin may have deceived him, the remaining Russian soldiers will know the real answer as long as they hear about these things. Presumably Kutuzov and Kuli
Chikov would not be joking with himself on this matter, so it seems that the Poles really have a problem. This was coupled with the uprising in northern Poland, and Potemkin discovered that there was a huge black hand behind everything.
, and this black hand must be among the Poles. There are only a handful of people in Poland who can have such great power.
Potemkin secretly made up his mind that when he got closer to Warsaw, he would settle the accounts with the Poles.
On the next day, Kutuzov, Kulichkov and a group of generals were released, and then they all followed Potemkin to Vianius, the capital of Russian Poland.
At this moment, Vianius has become a large barracks, with a total of 60,000 Russian troops crowding the open space outside the city. Among these troops are Cossacks, Finns, Crimeans, and even Tatars.
people.
Although the composition of this army is relatively complex, the Russian army's orders are still very unified. Facing a St. Petersburg giant like Potemkin, no general dared to defy him in front of him. Just kidding, Potemkin at this time was completely
It can be said that he is the second-largest figure in the Russian Empire.
After bringing Kutuzov and others into the military conference room, Potemkin did not treat them differently because they were defeated generals. On the contrary, he ordered Kutuzov to sit down on his right hand. This was no ordinary treatment.
, you must know that often during meetings, everyone’s seat determines their status.
People who can sit close to the leader either hold a high position or have the trust of the leader. Such people undoubtedly have a bright future, and now Kutuzov has sat in such a position as a defeated general.
This means that his status in Potemkin's heart is still the same, which of course makes Kutuzov frightened.
"General Kutuzov, tell us all what you know."
After Potemkin's instructions, Kutuzov told everything he had experienced. Of course, it was inevitable to add fuel to the fire, because only by exaggerating the dangers of the enemy could his own incompetence not be highlighted so much.
After Kutuzov finished speaking, the generals present fell into deep thought, just like Potemkin. Through Kutuzov's description, everyone knew that some organizations must have been excessively involved in the Polish incident.
.
"Okay, let's talk about the rest later. Now that we have arrived here, let's not delay. Tomorrow, all the troops will approach Poland as planned. This time, our 60,000 imperial army must use thunder to annihilate those clowns in one fell swoop. I
Her Majesty the Queen placed high hopes on us before the army set off for the expedition, and all of you here must not betray Her Majesty the Queen's trust."
As soon as Potemkin finished speaking, shouts of "Long live Her Majesty the Queen" rang out in the room. Seeing this scene, Potemkin also smiled with satisfaction.
"By the way, for this march, because General Kutuzov is familiar with Polish affairs, I decided to appoint General Kutuzov as the vanguard of the army and give him a chance to redeem himself. I wonder if any of you here have any objections."
Facing Potemkin's inquiry, everyone in the tent shouted "Don't dare, don't dare."
"Of course, due to some previous accidents, General Kutuzov does not have many troops at the moment. I have decided to transfer the troops in Ukraine to be commanded by General Kutuzov. General Lipov, do you have any objections?"
Although Potemkin asked if he had any objections, his eagle eyes made it clear that if General Lipov dared to have objections, he would never get a good end.
Sitting in the room, Lipov was sitting on pins and needles. He was the Ukrainian warlord and the commander of the Ukrainian army transferred to Potemkin. For these warlords, they were just local princes.
The army was handed over to others, but there was no other way. The one who was pressing him now was Potemkin. If he had any objections, let alone the command of the army, he might not even be his Ukrainian governor.
"I will naturally obey the orders of the Marshal. I also ask General Kutuzov to complete the handover of the army with me after the meeting." After saying that, Lipov showed a smile to Kutuzov, and seeing this Kutuzov
Tuzov also smiled at him.
"Very good. General Lipov is very knowledgeable. The future of the Russian Empire cannot be separated from loyal ministers like General Lipov. Well, just one Ukrainian army seems to be missing. General Krivitsky,
Give your army to General Kutuzov too."
With that said, Potemkin seemed to be dissatisfied and spoke to another person in the tent. This Krivitsky was the Latvian warlord and the commander of the Latvian army that came this time.
This Krivitsky is not as easy to talk to as Lipov.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I am not intending to intimidate you with your order, but General Kutuzov's previous achievements are something that I cannot praise, and I do not want my subordinates to die following such a person."
Krivitsky's words made Kutuzov's face turn blue and white, while Potemkin's face was equally ugly.
"General Kriwiski, although General Kutuzov suffered a defeat before, there is a reason for that. None of you here are more familiar with the situation in Poland than General Kutuzov, so I still think that Kutuzov should
It is best for General Zoff to command your army. In addition, as the commander-in-chief of the army, I have the right to allocate the subordinate armies. I hope you can understand this."
Potemkin suddenly stood up and said, and while he was speaking, his eyes were constantly looking at Krivitsky.
In fact, Potemkin's move was deliberately aimed at Krivitsky. The upper echelons of St. Petersburg knew that the Latvian warlord Krivitsky was a supporter of Oworov, and as Ovolov's political opponent, Potemkin also
How could you miss such a good opportunity to attack your opponent?
Now that Potemkin said so, Krivitsky could no longer object. He said:
"Since the Marshal said so, I will hand over the army to the command of General Kutuzov, but I reserve my opinion. In addition, I will report today's situation to St. Petersburg. I hope the Marshal can understand."
As he spoke, Krivitsky saluted Potemkin, then turned around and walked out of the room with his neck straightened. Behind him, Potemkin stared at his back with a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
