Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 173 >

Bonn, German Empire.

“Russian troops have entered the city of Berlin.”

The Chief of Staff had already made the loss of Berlin a fact.

Since Berlin, there has been no proper natural defense line. In Germany’s topography, almost like a land that God made for tank warfare, if you cross the Elbe River, the whole of northern Germany will be trampled by Russian tanks.

Therefore, it was necessary to stop the Russians in Berlin, and furthermore, in the Elbe River.

Otherwise, it’s not a joke, it really was a plate that had to reinforce the Maginot line after moving the capital to Paris.

In armored warfare, Germany could never, never beat Russia. Even that model was trying to do mobile defense, which is his gimmick, but the Russian cavalry had no choice but to switch to base defense because the Russian armored forces marked the task force exclusively.

New tanks from the Russian army are being taken out of factories like crazy, and the German tanks that will fight against them are still in the development stage, whether it’s a Ti or Panther.

In the end, the only hope for Germany was the Luftwaffe.

The Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe jointly burned down St. Petersburg, but during a celebration of the conquest of France, the Russians stormed London and got it back several times.

And shortly thereafter, Berlin began to be attacked. Even in the chaos, the Germans responded quite well, but the situation was never good.

The United States began to supply Russia with huge supplies, the Russian Far East Fleet inflicted massive damage to the Canadian Navy without a single battleship, and the Japanese Navy was watching the Canadian Navy destroyed.

And the Russians deployed new aircraft and began to overwhelm them.

In aviation, it was a situation where we could barely create a tie, but that was accomplished by replacing experienced veteran pilots. The individual performance of the aircraft is superior to Russia.

Over time, this delicate balance is bound to be broken.

In the navy, the Axis powers dominate. The North Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet resisted the Royal Navy and the Kaiser Marines to protect Norway.

In naval warfare, it was overwhelmingly superior, in air warfare it was slightly inferior, and in land warfare it was overwhelmingly inferior.

That was the situation the Axis powers were in.

“The situation in the Balkans is deteriorating. The Yugoslav forces have reached the border with Greece.”

“The Hungarian army united with the Czech army and started advancing in the south.”

Total and overwhelming defeat.

“The defenses of the Suez Canal are collapsing. General Rommel is unable to keep his current order of fire, so we are requesting that the troops be reorganized and then recaptured.”

“Damn it.”

“Do you think the President and the Vice President will approve?”

This time, Joseph and Hitler, who also served as Vice-Presidents.

Both of them are inflamed if they are retreating.

“I don’t know, damn it.”

Ismailia, Headquarters of the German African Corps.

“Retreat to Cairo.”

At Rommel’s words, the staff murmured.

“Did you get permission to retreat from Berlin?”

“No, I am going to report that the British forces are retreating, and I have no choice but to retreat to reorganize the front. I have already finished talking to General Montgomery.”

London and Berlin both ordered not to retreat, but sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take two steps forward.

If you rearrange your troops in Cairo and change the Russian army, you can get back to Suez. If a canal is blocked for a few months, doesn’t it mean that the empire is completely destroyed? There must be oil stockpiles, and in the meantime, we should bypass the Cape of Good Hope.

The British will be foaming at the fact that the Royal Navy is dying, but it doesn’t make sense to say that the Russian Navy can’t be beaten even if the Royal Navy doesn’t exert its full force. Right now, the Russian navy is far behind compared to the Italian navy or the Kaiser Marine.

After all, Rommel, who had a bit of a swear word about the British guys who said that the navy’s operation rate was a bit low even though the control of the sea was in the hands of the allies, continued.

“The troops retreat to Cairo and, if necessary, to Alexandria, receive supplies to the port, reorganize and fight the enemy again.”

Politicians who swear because they need a handful of achievements to show the people, and the military should be left to the soldiers, what do you mean by intervening in politics?

I will only prove it with performance.

“General Montgomery, are you crazy?”

“The Germans retreated and could not maintain their defenses at all.”

Montgomery answered bluntly.

The reason is that the two people agreed that the British army was due to the retreat of the German army and the German army was due to the British retreat.

“More than that, we need more supplies and troops now. We need more ammunition, supplies, tanks and soldiers to drive out the Russians and get Suez back quickly.”

“Currently, my home country is organizing a large-scale Continental Expeditionary Force, and most of the current military supplies and troops are being diverted to the Continental Expeditionary Force.”

“The Suez is more urgent than the Continental Expeditionary Force. Just send the Continental Expeditionary Force under my control, and I will surely retake Suez.”

Montgomery said blatantly.

“Impossible.”

“Why?”

“A strong request from the German side, Berlin is in danger.”

The loss of Berlin was already a reality within the German Chiefs of Staff.

Even after creating a temporary capital, government officials all left Berlin, and the problem was that the capital was too close to the enemy in the first place.

“Isn’t that the case with the Germans? Now we need at least one more soldier.”

“…I will consider it.”

Still, in London, there was a debate over whether Montgomery should be fired or not. As a result, he was retained under the assessment that there was no talent to replace Montgomery in the Middle East, but his position had already been significantly jeopardized.

I knew that too, but one thing was enough.

Wouldn’t it be nice to win If you win.

After all, the British army had never won a single victory. Padkale, Netherlands, Suez. Scandanavia.

And he was the only one who had ever achieved a tactical victory on the ground against the Russians. Did you somehow repel the Russian offensive even by leaning on the fortifications?

Of course, it eventually collapsed. that’s somewhere It wasn’t my fault that I collapsed, it was the people who didn’t give me what they asked for support.

Montgomery herself clearly believed it.

Moscow. Kremlin.

“I’ll have to tie all these damn bastards to the Kremlin or something.”

“Father, you are patient…”

“What’s the point of being patient… What happens when you leave your parents rotten and show up late?”

The Russian Crown Prince Viktor Mikhailovich Romanov broke into a sweat when he saw the large veins sprouting from his father’s forehead.

When the Crown Prince saw his father signed something, he couldn’t help but ask.

“What is that… what?”

“Approval of the award of the medal.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t it true that the four of us stopped the enemy’s massive army anyway, of course.”

It felt like he was chewing on something.

“He gave me a very heady accident… No, yes, that’s the fault of the heads of the Far East township, not the guy… it’s not.”

“Yes, yes, but…”

The Russian air strikes did not end with landslides.

“This landslide caused flooding in Tibet and Sichuan. Although it is a sparsely populated area, there was a great flood on the banks of the Min River, causing thousands of damage in Leshan alone. The southwestern part of Sichuan has been devastated.”

Rocks and soils washed away by landslides formed a kind of natural dam, and naturally blocked river water began to flow into the surrounding lowlands.

It was only natural that the civilians living in the lower part of the mountain range suffered a fortune in the sudden surprise of the water.

The water that went down stream is pretty much reduced as the water drains through the Min River, the first large river that can handle the amount of water that we met while riding down the mountain between mountains for almost a castle… As the flow of the Gaehorn and Min Rivers increased, the watershed suffered extensive flood damage.

Considering that the Yellow River flood in 1938, which occurred in the original history, passed through three provinces and swept through the Yellow River, this flood that only damaged parts of Tibet and Sichuan could be considered to have decreased in scale, resulting in 890,000 deaths and a death toll of 890,000. The damage was far less than the original history that made more than 10 million people displaced.

The problem is that even if the damage is less than the flood in the original history, there is no way the Chinese will recognize it, and when they know that Russia was the cause, the whole public opinion will turn against Russia and the East will be in danger right away.

Of course, only the Russian Empire knows what happened, and most of them only know that the mountain suddenly collapsed, except for the troops of the exterminated warlords. would be difficult

“It’s impossible to hide forever, and it will eventually come to light that there is a link between the last landslide and the Great Flood in the Min River. I’m thinking of announcing it as a small earthquake, though.”

there is no evidence The Tibetan side may have heart attacks, but they won’t be able to protest over it in the first place.

“If we knew we were behind the scenes, all of China would declare war on us.”

It wasn’t a joke. Considering the natural disaster that the current situation will bring, and knowing that the disaster was actually man-made, it would be no wonder that China and Russia could become the supporters.

The European Front, the Middle East Front, and the Empire are consuming enough national power on only those two fronts. It was never desirable to open the third front.

Although it is not known how many Chinese people will die from that natural disaster.

“Anyway, that’s it, and after awarding medals to all four people who participated in it, I’m going to hit Kyiv as a shooting instructor. Guess I’ll let you go back to the frontline again. And that guy, Nikita, if he hits the right ball, he’ll hit him in the back as an instructor.”

In case someone is not a half-brother, he is making his parents heartbroken every few days, not just a few days or weeks.

If it goes like this, I think that Nikita guy is coming after taking a shot in the ship after occupying Berlin. I’m really hot

Berlin city.

“Germans with Molotov cocktails on the balcony at 1 o’clock, shoot!”

– Kwaang!

It’s impossible to put your mind at ease just because you can’t see the enemy in the city. Rather, if you show a tank battle in the field, if you can’t see the enemy, you can put your mind at ease that they’re not around here.

However, it was impossible not to put the tank into street fighting.

“For mother country! Whoa!”

Bullets fly from all directions, and infantry with flamethrowers advance.

“sergeant! Take a squad and sweep the trash in that alley!”

“All right! Captain!”

“and…..”

– Aww!

“what?”

When a huge mushroom cloud appeared, the first thing that came to mind was an air strike from the allies.

But it wasn’t.

“The bombardment!”

“What? What kind of bombardment was that…”

and looked smart.

Shells from the west with white smoke on their tails exploded a few blocks away, and a mushroom cloud soared.

“Damn… those crazy things.”

As the French invasion approached midway, the German siege artillery, Gustav train gun, which had succeeded in harpooning the middle of the Maginot Line and pushing several German divisions into it, was firing towards Berlin.
