Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 146 >

Prime Minister Aleksandr Afrosimov sighed deeply.

I stopped converting to gold, and the shock was alleviated… but bad condition was bad.

As expected, the number of unemployed increased, and it was possible to absorb them into civil servants. possible.

The problem was that the unemployed themselves were fewer than expected, and fewer were qualified to be absorbed into civil servants.

‘In the 21st century, youth unemployment was a problem in Korea, and here, college graduates have to pick up their jobs and say thank you when they wander around because they can’t find a job.’

In fact, if you have a clear identity and can only speak Russian, you will have to hire foreigners. Like the Czech Republic, or Hungary, or Germany or Yugoslavia.

“It will get better when more railroads are opened.”

“Please do that.”

Commerce, agriculture, and industry are all subjects that need to be continuously fostered. Nothing can be overlooked.

Most of the damage that Russia has suffered in the present situation is due to the decrease in investment and the collapse of grain prices.

“We have to force ourselves to export it overseas or make it all with alcohol.”

“If I had a free vodka party, people would love it.”

“I don’t believe you are saying it sincerely.”

“What do you see me as?”

It’s not that I didn’t think of biodiesel….

However, the Russian Empire did not have an incentive to do so, which was enough to dump oil in its own country.

In the end, it turns around and turns around….

“We will use it for the relief of the poor and stockpile a certain amount for military use, and then all the rest should be made with vodka or beer.”

Jusse, one of the most important sources of the Russian Empire.

What really impressed me was that the demand for vodka did not decrease no matter what.

Even if it was Khrushchev, maybe the prohibition was lifted at the end of the year and the approval rating was smashed?

‘Until the last moment when the world is destroyed, vodka is a human being who will not give up, very.’

Of course, thanks to that, it is a filial piety itself from the standpoint of collecting liquor tax, but honestly, I think it should be a little restrained…

‘I don’t know.’

What happens to any monarch when he touches vodka has been proven time and time again in Russian history. It’s not that you don’t know, but you do tap dance on a minefield for what you know.

“We should produce more vodka and sell the surplus grain by dumping it overseas.”

But it’s not an easy issue. It is not possible to force France or Germany to import our grain, and it is difficult even within the Customs Union.

We need to target countries that are a bit more comfortable without tariffs…

‘Are you Chinese after all?’

In the North Korean War, it seems that Japan’s victory is gradually solidifying.

To put it bluntly, China is in this state right now.

I hate Japan. But Russia is not good either.

No, it must be close to the true intention of Chinese public opinion that they dislike all foreign powers in the first place. Us, we ate a little bit of the territory attached to that corner, but Japan is currently invading North Korea, so aggro is only attracted more.

Even if the problem is only foreign powers, the great powers won’t let them stand still in the first place. Even if some miracle happens and the great powers get out of China amicably, what awaits them is a civil war between warlords.

There is no Republic of China now. The Beiyang government collapsed, Sun Yuan’s northern expedition collapsed without even starting, and China is currently literally ‘anarchy’.

Of course, when you think of anarchy, what comes to mind often is… Well, illegal armed groups are swarming and you can’t go out without guns, and to that extent… No, is it true that warlords are originally illegal?

Anyway, you can roughly imagine a 21st-century Somali-like little one, and that’s not entirely wrong, but the anarchy I’m talking about is a different story.

Somalia certainly has a legal government. just can’t function.

However, the current Chinese government is close to the fact that there is virtually no government that can be recognized for its legitimacy in the international community.

Some warlords claim that they are the orthodox government, but when you ask if they really deserve recognition, that’s not the case. I want to say that a strong man is authentic, but his strength is too strong.

Rather, the puppet government promoted by Japan, the ‘New Qing Dynasty’, has more legitimacy than most warlords if it is taken seriously, apart from the approval rating.

In any case, now that the Beiyang Warlords have been disbanded and the Beiyang Government has disappeared, making it difficult for anyone to claim to be the successor of the Beiyang Government of the Republic of China, it is difficult to see that the claim of the Qing Dynasty has less legitimacy than those warlords.

In conclusion, the current warlords are fighting among themselves as to whether or not they will defeat Japan even if they join forces to block Japan.

In such a situation, they could not properly stop the Japanese army from advancing south, let alone expelling Japan from North Korea.

No, some warlords were even attached to the Japanese side. The cause was the abdominal wall of the Qing Dynasty, but it was blindfolded and Aung.

So even if we ate a little bit, it wouldn’t be that noticeable… it probably wouldn’t.

Anyway, we sell weapons too. At least, I don’t think I’m more attracted to aggro than Japan, where people openly rob people at home.

There is a high probability that other countries are probably thinking similarly.

The Japanese Empire was in great trouble.

It was nice to have a good run, but the time has come to deal with it.

First came the food shortage.

During the rice riot, he shot and killed all rebels, tortured them, and even dropped gas, but the aftermath was not small.

Already, the rural community was on the verge of collapse due to the Ichonhyangdo phenomenon, but the epicenter of the rice riot was mostly in the countryside.

The land covered with gas needed to be cleaned, and there was a serious shortage of labor in rural areas.

At this point, the Japanese Empire came to the conclusion that any imperialist country would have taken for granted.

‘Rip it out of the colony!’

They plunder at will in North Korea, Manchuria, and Joseon. Although the yield increased to some extent through the acidity propagation plan, considering the fact that it became a mugwort field due to the de facto army and navy proxy battles in Joseon, the level was not even plus or minus zero.

If you don’t want to see the Koreans rise up again, you have to prepare something to put in their mouths, and the acidity propagation plan was not enough.

At that time, the Russian Empire appeared as an unexpected savior.

Redistribution took place through forcible dissolution, redistribution and re-establishment of farmland, and efficiency improvement, as well as forcible dissolution of the rural community of Mir.

Of course, in conjunction with the advance of the leftist forces, there were cases where farmers who were dissatisfied with the dissolution of the existing community formed a kind of cooperative.

In retrospect, it was funny. However, when it comes to the original farmers, it is generally the most conservative forces, especially the self-employed farmers.

Of course, even as a peasant, there were many cases where he measured how thick the chains on his neck were or how high his status was compared to others as he was also a peasant after all.

Conservatism is not necessarily the antithesis of communism. In the ears of farmers who longed for Mir, the pinnacle of inefficiency, there was a case in which they supported the argument of the left, who insisted on cooperative farms similar to Mir in the past.

However, only Kerensky was buried in the suicide attempt to assassinate the prime minister last year. Savinkov and other leftist forces are so tolerant of the left that they are allowed to survive as a small party. Russia is just an agricultural country no matter how many factories it runs.

In order to develop industry and reduce land shortages and manpower shortages, farmers are relocating policies, but this is also being done carefully so that rural areas are not completely destroyed.

Well, in conclusion, Russia’s main export product is grain, and grain prices have also plummeted due to the increase in productivity and the impact of the panic.

To make up for this, the Russian government purchased as much grain as possible while accepting a financial loan, and tried to make up for the deficit by exporting the rest, except for domestic consumption, to foreign countries or making alcohol.

The Russian Empire tried to sell as many of them as possible, but it was difficult to sell them to anyone.

It was a political problem. In particular, agricultural countries such as Hungary, a member of the economic community, have a loss to show as a community leader, such as the risk that the national economy will be completely destroyed if Russia pours grain at a cheap price with no tariffs. off topic in the first place.

At that time, the country that showed interest in it was the Japanese Empire.

The Japanese Empire had several internal problems. How many countries don’t?

In particular, in the agricultural field, land that has become unusable due to a shortage of workers, a shortage of workers due to the collapse of rural society, and the use of mine poisoning and gas.

When it was brought from Joseon, it was the same that Joseon was devastated, and the atmosphere was sharp enough to be dismissed immediately after talking about cultural rule like in the original history. Bringing it in could face another uprising.

The problem is that during the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Navy suffered fatal damage, such as being swept away by a tsunami, and several of its flagship ships had to go into psoriasis.

There is nothing better than the army or the domestic army, the past expeditions consumed huge resources, and the battles with warlords caused severe damage.

In such a situation, if the military is moved, it would not be strange if the finance officers grouped together in the middle of the streets of Tokyo to do separatism.

In other words, it was best not to revolt in the first place, whether in Korea, Joseon, or Manchuria, and for that, ample food was needed.

And fortunately, the Empire of Japan found too much food in its immediate neighbourhood, willing to turn it into alcohol or sell it for a bargain.

Russia.

Of course, it didn’t really matter that the Russian Empire mainly produced wheat rather than rice. Bring rice from Chosun, Manchuria, and North Korea to feed the natives, and provide wheat purchased from Russia instead of rice.

Whether it’s rice or wheat, it’s enough to fill your stomach. To this end, a separate campaign to promote wheat consumption was conducted, and the consumption of bread, wheat rice cakes, and noodles was induced to increase.

The war with China was slowly coming to an end, and some warlords were also drawn in, so it might be right to call it the Qing dynasty centered on North China, in fact, Huqing, but in any case, they started drinking straws in the Qing dynasty for a long time.

The army advertised that it was possible to survive the shock wave of the Great Depression because of the army’s decisive victory in the occupation of North Korea.

And at the forefront of it stood the Imperialist Party, who took control of the army’s hegemony by shooting and killing the Prime Minister.
