Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 166 >

Norway. Russian Imperial Airfield.

It felt very strange to see people who should have been my bosses beating me.

Even though it’s my hometown, it’s hard to say things like that, so there’s no way the unit can run properly.

In the end, I was able to receive treatment commensurate with the class after I told my father and ordered him to treat him purely according to his class, not worrying about his origin.

“The fighters to be used for this mission are first mass-produced products supplied by Dornier, and this mission will be their first actual battle. Theoretically, it is faster than all enemy aircraft, and its firepower is also strong, so that only a few can gain the air superiority. Codenamed Do335, these aircraft will provide air cover for you.”

And, here I applied.

Hearing that it was recruiting volunteers from among pilots with excellent piloting skills for a high-risk mission, he immediately applied and passed the exam.

My father, who received a belated call, ran to the base and grabbed him by the neck, but it was his father who was defeated after several hours of haggling.

Well, I had no choice but to lose my father, who could only raise the support for the war and could only come up with vague logic such as the imperial family’s duty to be at the forefront, wouldn’t my mother be sad, and it was too dangerous? .

I am truly sorry that I think I nailed a nail to my father’s chest, but when I heard that story, I felt something like fate.

If I don’t participate in this mission, I feel like I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

“Some of the planes will be brought in to take pictures. This will not only be provided to the media of each country, but will also be used to boost the morale of the military and civilians.”

It wasn’t even a general who gave the briefing, but the Grand Duke, the commander-in-chief of the Air Corps. I don’t think his father sent it for him, and it must mean that the importance of this mission is that high.

“The target point is London, and the main target is the ‘Bird Cage Walk’ from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. According to data obtained by the Ministry of Intelligence, there will be a large-scale military parade and awarding of medals to meritorious people from all over France. This event also serves as an international conference between Italy, Germany and the UK. A number of key high-level leaders are present.”

Looking around the crew, the Archduke continued.

“Thanks to Ohrana’s great performance, we have drawn up a list of dignitaries who will be under him at the time of our airstrike. First, in England, Edward VIII and his wife, Prime Minister Moseley, Minister of Propaganda William Joyce, and many other members of the royal family and dignitaries will all attend.”

“In Germany, Emperor Wilhelm III, Minister Gregor, Minister Rudolf Hess, Minister of Propaganda Paul Josef Goebbels, German Ambassador to the UK Franz von Papen, Deputy Commander of the SS Heinrich Himmler, Commander of the Kaisermarine Erich Leder, Deputy Commander Karl Donitz, Minister of the French Armed Forces Reinhardt Heidrich, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Austria Artur Zeissinkbart, Deputy Minister of Economy Walter Funk, Deputy Commander of the Luftwaffe Wolfram von Richthofen, Commander of the SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH) Regiment of the Führer Guard (LSSAH was a regiment at this time) Joseph Dietrich, Commander of the 15th Panzer Corps Hermann Hort.”

“Finally, in Italy, Pietro Bardolio, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Libyan Governor Rodolfo Griziani and others were confirmed to be present.”

All of them were giants.

“Of course it won’t be easy. To this end, for the past several months, our Air Force has been operating operations to sabotage British radar. The new equipment will help our allies sabotage British radar. In addition, the allies bombed Berlin several times, but never attacked London. In other words, it means that their carelessness can also be expected.”

Of course, he also knew that his father wasn’t the kind of person who would let his children die or not.

He must have intervened in a line that did not cross the line, and it was a sufficiently predictable line to be strict about the preliminary plan and the expulsion plan for the operation.

“This war is not just the responsibility of the leaders. It is also the responsibility of their people, who gave them power and delegated their sovereignty. So what you have to do is simple.”

The Archduke swung his fist into the air.

“Let them know what they have done! Make me realize what war is! Put your fists on the tops of those who sleep soundly, ignoring all blood and death! Force him to pull him out of his seat, open his eyes and face reality, and terrify them! And you, who will be at the forefront of it, are the most honored warriors of the Imperial Air Corps!”

“Long live the Russian Empire!”

“Long live Your Majesty!”

“Long live Your Majesty!”

After a while, the briefing room turned into a crucible of enthusiasm.

“Prepare all squadrons to sortie!”

The pilots take over the aircraft to the mechanics.

I muttered as I rode my fighter jet anchored under the bomber’s wing.

“Whoa, only as trained, only as trained.”

Sweat was dripping from his hands as if he couldn’t help the tension.

“Captain Nikolai Mikhailovich Kim, boarding number 3 is complete. Ready for takeoff.”

“Confirmed. Good reception.”

“It takes off. Hold on tight.”

***

Russian bombers that flew to the British mainland to avoid surveillance by the British air defense system and the Royal Navy were caught by air defense systems near Wendy, but German and Italian aircraft were already flying around the area, and there was a lot of concern about Russia’s new four-bomber bombers. Without information, the Royal Air Force wasted valuable time checking the Luftwaffe and the Italian Air Force and whether there were any aircraft with scheduled flights nearby.

As they approached the airspace over London, the fighters were separated under the wings of bombers assigned to air carrier missions. Although there were only eight fighters in total, all of them were prepared to complete the operation even at the cost of their lives.

“Kosei, Baba Yaga! Many red flags appear at 7 o’clock!”

There could be no patrol aircraft over London. Immediately, the fighters speeded up and approached.

The Spitfire fighters paused for a moment whether it was an aircraft that flew for a parade or a bandit.

And that was the difference between winning and losing.

“Start shooting!”

As the eight fighters began to fire their cannons, the leading Spitfire was hit by a 30mm cannon and disassembled in the air, and the other was torn by a 20mm cannon.

The rest of the fighters turned hastily, but had already lost altitude and speed.

“Second period!”

“Do not be ridiculous! That’s what I got!”

Nikolai and Callsign Kossey giggled as they listened to the shouts of their fellow pilots who use evil.

“They have an emergency! Beware of anti-aircraft attacks……”

In an instant, anti-aircraft shells were seen flying.

“Move the bomber squadron to the designated altitude! The cover squadron intercepts the bandits!”

“Ferdinand Schörner, Commander of the 98th Mountain Regiment, 1st Mountain Division, you…

The girl was barely holding back her yawn.

‘Bored.’

It was said that a military parade was scheduled after the awarding ceremony, but it was tedious to be bored.

Still, I couldn’t sleep.

Around the time when the awarding of medals to the German army was over and the awarding of the decorations to the Italian army began, the girl began to hope that even a minor incident would happen.

Isn’t there something like that, like a sparrow, distracted during a boring class, flies into the classroom through an open window, can’t find an exit, slams into the window, and then flies out of the window?

To avoid this boring time, her imagination, which had started dreaming, was about to lead to a sprained leg of the Italian Mario, who is now going up to the podium, when something caught her eye.

“father?”

“yes? What is Bess?”

“Now something is falling from the sky…”

“yes?”

When her father unwittingly jumped up from his seat as he saw something burning from the sky falling to the ground, the siren began to sound.

It was an air raid alert.

And immediately after that, a shock wave shook the ground.

***

“Kosei! Yes at 9 o’clock!”

“know! damn it! I can’t shake it off!”

Feeling that a hurricane fighter that had lost its wingman, tenaciously bitten by evil, Nikolai moved the steering wheel.

“Man… do it!”

Bullets fired from the hurricane flew by. The evil Nikolai played it.

“Damn, get out of the way! You can’t shoot!”

When the wingman Utillainen’s voice was heard on the radio, Nikolai used evil.

“Babaya! Count to three and I will dive!”

“I get it!”

“Three, two, one!”

The hurricane, which was about to swerve to follow the bandit who suddenly turned its direction, came straight into Do335’s line of sight.

“Goodbye, you bastard.”

-Tung! Tung!

A hateful radio came from Baba Yaga, flying behind a hurricane that was shattered by short-cut cannons.

“I’ll take two bottles of vodka, Kossey.”

“I’m going to drink again and sit in the cockpit and go to the choir… oh.”

Seeing the huge mushroom cloud soaring, Nikolai was truly amazed.

Of course, it fell far short of the mushroom cloud created by nuclear weapons, but the power of the earthquake bomb was certain.

“Westminster Abbey has been hit! haha! Collapse!”

The bombs were literally pouring down densely. It was due to the fact that he was determined to fire as many bombs as possible in a short amount of time, given that the cruising range was sufficient.

“Is that Downing over there? Hopefully I can make the prime minister homeless, fuhahaha! It’s a scourge!”

A ripping laughter was heard from the communicator. After briefly cutting off the nerves to his ears, Nikolai descended, firing a gun at the Scottish yard, then ascending again. As an earthquake bomb exploded in his eyes, he saw that part of the Westminster Bridge collapsed with just the impact.

“Beware of anti-aircraft fire!”

“Things that are rotten, you have a fighter on your side, and they just shoot you, are you supported by evil?”

Nikolai immediately began to dive through the clouds. The target was the troops out for the parade on the boulevard.

Nikolai dropped a few small bombs that were mounted on their heads and fired an additional cannon, followed by a pom pom cannon fire, but it was impossible to shoot down Nikolai, who was running away quickly.

Mushroom clouds soared as if another earthquake bomb had exploded.

“Wow!”

“Vengeance of St. Petersburg! You motherf*ckers!”

Just a few days ago, a number of bombers attacked St. Petersburg. The city was devastated, and the only thing the air defense force could do was take revenge.

As a result, around 10% of the aircraft involved in the raids did not return to mainland England.

Of course, the damage to civilians and property in St. Petersburg was too great to be replaced.

“Buckingham Palace and Westminster Palace, blow it all away!”

Russian bombers did what Guy Fawkes couldn’t. The seismic bomb blew up the entire parliament. Big Ben was hit directly by a ton of explosives and collapsed.

Of course, there was no catastrophe that the House and Senate evaporated because Congress was not in session now. Likewise, not a single member of the royal family now remains at Buckingham Palace.

However, the symbolism of the collapse of those buildings was enormous.

The bombing was focused on Westminster. It was a place where British government agencies were concentrated, and its symbolism was enormous.

– Kwaang!

“Damn! Damn it!”

Rather, the enemy anti-aircraft guns were more threatening to the elite pilots. Nikolai clenched his teeth when he saw his fellow plane spewing smoke.

The mission is 140% complete. So, it was urgent to get back to living here now.
