Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 129 >

The nuclear weapons launched by Germany hit politics all over Europe.

-If the German Empire is ambitious, it must be prepared for the second great war.

The French government’s response was quicker than expected by Germany.

Immediately, a partial mobilization order was issued in France, and the army entered operational readiness.

Of course, there was a prior promise to condone the annexation of Austria only if it was necessary to prevent communism.

But where do you see the current situation? Were the communists almost uprooted in the first place?

So this is not a treaty violation. No, it was a secret treaty in the first place, but what do you do if you come to reveal it now?

After judging the situation, France immediately tried to mobilize the negotiating powers that participated in World War I.

However, the backlash was not uncommon.

“How long has it been since the Great War has ended?”

“Prove it by voting! Let’s prove with a vote who wants to go to war!”

It has been less than 10 years since the war ended. Besides, if you think about it, you won the last war, but you didn’t.

No French or British troops entered German territory until the Revolution overthrew the German government.

The Junkers used to excuse their defeat in the last war and say that if Russia remained neutral, even if Britain, France, and Italy attacked at the same time, the victory would have been theirs in the end. Of course, considering the cause of the war, it is absurd. He was very persuasive to the public.

In any case, Russia was the only negotiating power to advance into German territory, and it was the Russians who finally planted the flag in Berlin.

If Russia is just too strong and it creates a situation in which Russia cannot intervene in the war by any means possible, Germany will be victorious in the next war!

Turnip winter? It was not because of the British naval blockade, but because of the collapse of East Prussia, the main breadbasket. If the Eastern Front is safe, the Western Front will be able to win consecutively. Wouldn’t the valiant Imperial German army almost capture London and even Paris!

If only he could turn the forces of the Eastern Front to the west, Prussian golden eagles would fly over Paris and London in the next war.

Surprisingly, it was a thought widely spread throughout Europe, and it was shared by King Wilhelm III himself, who began to call himself the Kaiser of Germany.

“Occupy Austria in the shortest time! If you surrender to the Habsburgs, I promise you the same treatment as Bavaria as a Principality of the Empire.”

“What matters is speed! You don’t have to choose any other means. Before the French mobilization order is complete, and before the Russian imperial family returns and responds, Austria must be effectively captured!”

“Long live Great Germany! Long live the ex-German Kaiser Wilhelm III!”

‘ said Bismarck. Diplomacy is about making a good treaty with Russia, and you were right. Germany can conquer all of Europe if only Russia can get in the war!”

Of course, it was not that other countries did not share a similar view.

“Why is there no answer in Russia!”

“Sir, it is strange that you are responding so quickly. The Empress and the Grand Duke are gone now, aren’t they?”

“Damn it, but the cabinet…”

“Are you going to make a decision alone because the cabinet wants to die?”

Prince Alexei is the current monarch who is currently absent.

And from a common sense point of view, it is the most powerful threat to the position of the monarch.

Having him as his agent was read in two ways by diplomats.

No matter how much Alexei gets into trouble, he has the confidence to beat him up, and builds a cause.

If Alexei commits extravagance, isn’t he trying to purge with that as an excuse? That was the analyst’s conclusion.

In reality, it was just because there was no one to do it, but it was common sense that if Alexei had an idea, he would report it to the Empress and ask for instructions, rather than taking the initiative in such a sudden change.

Unless you want to die for treason. Ananigi had already shown that the princess was cruel enough to do so by imprisoning her father on the excuse of her health and setting up guns in St. Petersburg.

How many people have died in connection with treason not so long ago?

In other words, it can be safely said that Russia’s ability to respond to sudden changes is paralyzed. Even if the Empress returns immediately, it will take quite some time to respond.

Literally, everyone is lying flat and looking at the boss’s mouth, but the boss is gone.

Britain was the first to step back. No, I didn’t retreat, I just stepped out.

Considering the anti-war public opinion and the British government’s grand strategy to improve relations with Germany in the future, it was never a good thing from the British’s point of view that the public opinion soared in Germany.

The shock wave then struck French politics.

The Russian Empire did not respond and the British government blatantly betrayed it.

The French government, succumbing to the fear that it might lead to a war with Germany alone in the presence of everyone else, was unable to complete the order to dispatch the troops ready to sortie to the Ruhr.

Of course, the most desperate thing was the German imperial family.

The German Empire is an empire, but if you ask if it is an empire fully ruled by an emperor, it would be difficult to answer that.

Of course, in theory, the emperor could do anything, but due to the defeat in the last war, the emperor lost most of his power, the leftists were purged by the right, and the civilian government was powerless, in reality close to an oligarchy of the military.

Voting was still held and members were elected, but Parliament had no control over the army, and although formally the Junkers were submissive to the emperor, the emperor likewise could effectively do nothing if the military opposed the emperor’s will.

However, the German imperial family had a role model.

Russia, the Russian Empire.

Europe’s fastest-growing country and a country with absolute imperial power.

Following the example of Russia, Germany achieves ‘complete’ unification. All Germans must be subjects of the German Empire.

What did the Russian Empire do?

He pushed a human with no foundation to a high position, and made Russia great again, which had been faltering in Blood Sunday.

Is there anything that can’t be done with that?

After all, there are suitable candidates.

Moscow, Central Control Center.

“Are you listening? lieutenant general?”

“…… Yes.”

Lieutenant General Kim In-su bowed his head.

“Those who will be put into the suppression will be of Korean descent, you know what that means. In Chechnya, the wild army has dealt with the sins of my compatriots with my own hands, and my loyalty has been recognized. There will be none.”

“of course. dismissal.”

“Dispose of it completely, and if you resist, you will be shot without mercy.”

The reason for the emergency order was simple.

On March 3, the genocide began on the Korean Peninsula.

The Naval Land Squadron and the Japanese Interior Forces literally fired at people on the street and swung their clubs at random, and the more intense the resistance continued, the more they fought and some left.

The refugees went to Primorsky Krai. Security in Vladivostok deteriorated, and clashes between existing residents and refugees were frequent.

Stolipin immediately, under the authority of acting defense minister, mobilized the Russian army to declare a border blockade in the Primorsky Territory, and ordered the disarming of the Korean-American armed groups and additional refugees and other forces that were already annoying and suppressing them by force if they resisted.

And the person in charge who received the order was Lieutenant General Kim In-su, the second highest ranking Korean-Russian, and Korean officers and soldiers were selected.

It was basically a loyalty test not different from what we did for Chechnya. If you want to stay in place, cooperate.

The purge was not deflected by the domestic military, and although the purge’s blade had officially stopped, none of them were stupid enough to raise their heads.

And the lieutenant general raised a salute.

“I will take orders.”

United States, New York Port

Passing between the lined up US military honor guards and approaching while stepping on the red carpet, I saw a man.

US President Charles Evans Hughes.

He asked me to shake hands.

“Welcome to the United States of America. And congratulations on your wedding. your majesty.”

“Thank you for the hospitality. Your Excellency.”

After taking a picture of us shaking hands with a friendly smile, we went straight to the station and boarded the special train prepared in advance.

On the train, President Hughes spoke softly.

“I was surprised to hear that you were visiting the United States of America.”

“I just came here for goodwill.”

“Of course it is, but… just because the purpose of friendship is friendship, there is no law that only discusses friendship.”

“Is that so.”

“The government of the United States of America would like to inquire of the Russian Empire’s intentions on recent events in East Asia.”

“East Asia.”

“The attack on China was clearly justified. The Russian Empire provided clear evidence regarding China’s attempt to overthrow the Russian Empire… but Japan’s actions were difficult to comprehend.”

The president gently touched the newspaper sitting next to him. Just looking at it, it seems like I touched it unconsciously, but thanks to that, the front page of the newspaper looked straight to me.

Provocative phrases such as genocide and a sea of blood were embroidered on the paper.

Under the present circumstances, the Japanese government’s cabinet has been dissolved. The problem was not that the Japanese army, enraged by the genocide in Joseon, resigned and the cabinet was automatically disbanded.

Of course, there is no way the army disbanded because the Koreans were pitiful. It’s just unpleasant that the Navy’s nerd, the Interior Ministry, has intervened in Joseon, the country of their own.

Of course, the navy says that the interior service forces did their job, but how well does the army view the interior service army, an illegitimate child born between the police and the navy in the first place?

The Army uses immediate training as an excuse to block the front of the garrison built by the Interior Ministry, preventing the Interior Ministry from mobilizing, or having the Military Police attack the Home Ministry base and beat up the opponents without questioning or arguing and then arresting Koreans. Sabotage including liberation without permission.

The reason is one. It’s f*cking disgusting to see the navy guys interfering in Joseon, the territory of the army.

Naturally, the navy also got feverish, so the Interior Ministry and Naval Land Forces jointly attacked the Government-General of Korea building, and the Jongno Police Station and Seodaemun Prison, which were under the control of the Army Military Police, were attacked equally. lost.

Of course, the reason was simple. f*cking the army bastards touching them.

The navy was planning to end the army at this point.

Shouldn’t they just create the internal military force for nothing, or replace all land units with the naval army and internal affairs forces in the future, and annihilate the army itself?

In order to do that, they had to deal with Joseon, the territory of the army. Although they are pushing hard in the inner city, the territories in the continental direction, including the Japanese Government-General of Korea, are not all territory of the army, not in island areas such as Taiwan or Hainan.

The army could not be eliminated unless the army’s influence was castrated here, and from the navy’s point of view, this Joseon riot was an opportunity.

The governor changed to the navy, and the army troops stationed in Joseon were also replaced by the internal affairs army because of what the heck did the Koreans revolt.

There was no better good news for the navy than the Chosun riot, which exploded like a slap on the cheek while the army was gaining strength because of the achievements of dispatching troops to North Korea.

Of course, there was no way the army was unaware of the navy’s plans, and they were fighting the navy with the determination that if they were pushed back, it would be over.

This fight spread to the inner city, leading to the army demonstrating in front of the Naval Castle under the guise of training, and the navy also preparing for a sit-down war.

Of course, that was your case, and the Chinese invasion force, the main force of the army, was still fighting in North China and even carrying out a massacre in Beijing.

And President Hughes, an isolationist, didn’t really care whether Japan went into civil war or not. The important thing is that the American rights and interests have been infringed by the Japanese’s ambition for aggression.

“Currently, the Russian Empire is carrying out major national reforms, starting with the administrative system, infrastructure construction, and land reform, regardless of the central and local governments, and the United States’ private-sector exchanges are a great help.”

“We also want to maintain friendly relations with the Russian Empire. I hope that trade with the Russian Empire will be further expanded.”

The problem is the news I got on the ship.

Damn Anschlus, damn Hohenzollern. Depending on how you react here, the political landscape around the world is turned upside down.

Block Germany or let it be?

Is it economically isolating Germany to join the French pressure line, or will it attract Germany as an ally?

It was a time of choice.
