Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 210 >

Bremen, Germany.

General Konev looked down on the majesty of the Russian army from the aircraft.

Tens of thousands of tanks filled the vast grassland. Tanks and armored vehicles overturned the green grass of the meadow and scorched it in the dust, and self-propelled artillery and multiple rockets formed a huge cluster.

Fighters flew in the sky, and bombers roared beneath them.

Like a giant legion of a single metal lifeform, those who stood in the way advanced as if they were going to drown in the tidal wave of steel.

It was one overwhelming. It was brilliance. And it was murderous.

It was not he who received the respect and allegiance of this whole corps, who led and directed them all, who set orders, instructions, and goals, accepting unconditional allegiance, reverence, and affection.

One man controls hundreds of thousands of cities.

One man leads and protects dozens of nations.

A single person can move tens of thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of armored vehicles with a single word.

Only one person is feared and feared by hundreds of millions of humans.

A single person coordinates the cogs of history and the nation like a continent, and does not miss the whispers of the weakest living under it.

Some consider them adults.

But can you do this as a saint?

‘If there is a human who can do everything and knows everything.’

What makes it different from God?

It wasn’t just himself. Everyone who has served ‘him’ for a long time knew.

competent? No, it was beyond mere competence… Some insight was in his hands.

A superman who wields god-like powers by coordinating the mechanical bureaucracy and the state as tools.

If I had to say it… If there was a mechanical god (Deus ex machina), wouldn’t it be like this?

“Affection for the land of our hometown burns in our hearts, and for the glory of our country, we march toward a decisive battle.”

Humming the artillery march with a hum, Nikita blew the wind.

“I am sorry for the delay on the Weser River.”

“What are you doing, the land is wet all over the place?”

Nikita hummed as she pretended to be listening to the staff talking to each other.

“Artillery, Your Majesty the Emperor has given you an order! Artillery, our country is calling us!”

I had no choice but to do so. With far less damage than expected, the troops of Bremen were surrounded and annihilated.

It was also the first amphibious operation in Russian history.

Of course, the landing was not so grandiose. A part of the strategic reserve, sortie from Denmark, maneuvered into the sea, landed near Emden, captured Wilhelmshafen and cut off the main road axis.

At about the same time, the forces, including Nikita’s, who had broken through Hanover and started maneuvering, encountered the landing forces at Oldenburg and encircled Bremen and annihilated them.

The problem is that when the cavalry raided Lipstadt, which was supposed to have an enemy command post, the command post building was empty and there was nothing left.

“I bet 500 rubles.”

“Yes?”

When the staff turned to Nikita at the sudden remark, Nikita blew a whistle and said:

“Aren’t you wondering whether our troops will go to Holland or Ruhr? Let’s bet.”

“Is the regimental commander 500 rubles?”

“Yeah, what are you guys betting on?”

“I’ll bet your four bottles of alcohol.”

At the words of the deputy commander, the atmosphere became a gambling board in an instant.

In fact, everyone got such a big victory and was in the back, so it was good to loosen up a little.

“It’s probably not going to push us into tribute, it’s called the Guards Corps.”

“On the contrary, since there is a name value, why not push it further into tribute? Isn’t there often a case where more artillery is fired on the tribute than on the original tribute?”

“Now that the Netherlands is a communist country, it will be easier for the Netherlands to lose. Not long ago, the US Army’s Dominator bombers smashed Plymouth. Because of this, the British dragged the Dutch fleet to the mainland. Will there be a lot of troops left?”

The Dominators, sortie from the US mainland, ravaged Plymouth without landing on the way, returned to base, and showed off their cruising range. In fact, it was something the Russian Air Force could do too, but the Russian Army was concentrating all its air power on the Ruhr, saying that an air raid on the British mainland would not have much effect.

In fact, the information they knew was too much information that one regiment staff could know, but they were special.

Because it’s a ‘guardian’ regiment.

Currently, it is the predecessor of all Russian ground forces, and to assume an executive position here is considered an important position comparable to that of Prussia’s general staff.

“It doesn’t make much sense to distinguish between main and tribute, as Amsterdam or Ruhr can be stolen enough in this offensive. But the question is, which side the command puts priority on.”

After being silent for a while, Nikita opened her mouth.

“I walk to the Ruhr, in terms of distance, Amsterdam is closer, but Amsterdam is closer to England, right? So, considering the value of our name, we will quickly add troops to the Netherlands. The British blew up the battleships, not the transports, so the capability itself should be sufficient. Rather, I will go to Ruhr, where there is a high possibility of sending in the German forces in the rear.”

You can eat both anyway, so why not choose just one?

Having said that, Nikita said another word.

“And personally, I want to go to the Ruhr, because as soon as we enter the Netherlands they will blow a dam, but I can’t swim.”

“Can’t you swim, regimental commander?”

“It barely floats in the water, and that’s the only problem. I can’t even dream of combat swimming.”

“Then I think you should go to Amsterdam and learn how to swim properly? Isn’t it good practice swimming?”

“I’m a vodka bottle, these guys. Do you want to kill the regiment commander?”

***

Temporary headquarters of the Forschungsgemeinschaft Deutsches Ahnenerbe (German Heritage Society) under Schutzstapel, Bonn, Germany.

“Loyalty!”

Saluted by the SS, Heinrich Himmler got out of the car.

The fact that the Prime Minister had lost power was known only to some of the party’s top leaders, but Hitler’s power was still there.

A typical example was this place, Annnerbe.

Dr. Wilhelm Steiner, Minister of Annenerbe, and Wolfram Jessip, Deputy Minister, were both appointed by Hitler.

The basis of Anneneverbe was the unity and belief of Nazism outlined by Secretary Gregor, and it was something that blended Platonic philosophy and Christian elements, myths and occult elements from around the world, and fascism and communist theories, etc. fused together.

It sounded very difficult to listen to, and there was a part where I wondered if it would make sense to combine them.

Of course, since it is an academic institution with no military power, Deputy Prime Minister Jugashvili turned a blind eye to them even though they were not loyal to him.

It was originally headed by Secretary Gregor, but after the minister was killed in a Russian airstrike, Dr. Wilhelm Steiner took over. He was arrogant and arrogant and had the worst popularity in the party, but Hitler strangely trusted him, and his abilities were excellent.

First of all, one of Anneneverbe’s main research tasks was whether it was possible to completely castrate specific human needs through human experiments.

It was intended to embody some of the theories of Nazism.

Those who wanted to embody Plato’s iron man politics in reality predicted that only beings without any emotions or desires could lead the state without self-interest.

Ironically, for eugenic reasons, the ‘candidates’ were going to live in permanent masks in order to annihilate their ego, even though their appearance was also an important subject of evaluation. All they needed was a slave who reigned above all, not an intelligent body.

A number of atrocities were committed under the goal of improving the race itself and creating a superhuman whose only purpose was to rule the state.

To this end, the research director, Dr. Karl Brandt, conducted experiments such as punching a hole in the skull of a human who had been arrested as a political prisoner and then passed over to the subject, applying an electric shock, and orally administering psychotropic drugs to infants.

Can we make humans into a kind of machine without emotions?

Of course, there was not enough time to produce sufficient research results, so they conducted other research in parallel.

Dr. Josef Mengele of Anneneverbe took the children out of Levensborn. Of course, it was self-evident that he would go to the firing squad if he randomly experimented with unverified research on ‘Furer’ candidates made of the best Aryans.

After a bloody study, they boasted that they had achieved some degree of success, and Hitler, who had already been addicted to the drugs prescribed by Dr. Morel, and hitler was overjoyed when he heard that the research had been somewhat successful in Anneneverbe, he said, “The German people’s The final solution to maintain permanence’ has been urged.

First of all, the failed works that have survived use so far are ‘Security Police and Security Bureau Special Operations Group (Einsatzgruppen der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD).’ It was incinerated after being injected with strychnine by a common name ‘Einsatzgruppen’.

And the four key candidates who were filtered and completed were moved to Bonn to avoid the Russian offensive. The remaining dropouts were all subject to ‘cleanup’ when the Einsatzgruppen retreated.

“It is unfortunate that many of the major equipment and documents had to be incinerated without being able to take them out.”

“That’s what soldiers do.”

Annèrewe Minister Wilhelm, who had become quite nervous from running from Berlin to Bremen and back to Bonn to escape the Russians, uttered annoyed remarks.

Himmler’s face hardened slightly at the slurred words, as if he had no need to respect him because he had the same status as a minister, but Wilhelm ignored it.

“Still, it’s a shame that all four of them have entered the stabilization phase. It’s like they’re incompetent. Otherwise, I could have thrown away all the results of these experiments.”

“Aren’t we lucky that we were able to steal some of the successful works?”

78, 179, 214, 264.

The lucky ones who still survived.

“I wonder what kind of guys they are, can’t we meet again?”

“As a rule, direct contact with the subject is not permitted. Due to essential factors, personnel in charge thoroughly cover their faces and cover their mouths even when entering the sealed area. Both learning and experimentation are conducted only by sound, with the subject not being able to see the other person’s face. Even when the subjects were moved last time, the subject did not come out and used the crane to take the capsule with the subject…”

“I asked the minister.”

One doctor who answered remained frozen, and the people around him had the illusion of a spark between Himmler and Wilhelm.

“Do not give unnecessary instructions to the subject. And you won’t be able to see anything.”

“What if there is nothing to see?”

“The subject is always wearing a hood and a mask. You can hear your voice, but it won’t be very enjoyable. And don’t talk nonsense, the information they receive should be limited to what we give them, don’t give them names or titles.”

“her.”

Himmler snorted as if he didn’t like it.

“What’s the point of being confined and educating like that? Aryans are the ones who rule. Rather than being stuck in a weak corner of the room, you should ride an iron horse, a white horse, or a black horse to inspect the army.”

“I’m getting enough exercise.”

“Diplomacy or speech?”

“It is all included in the curriculum, and the curriculum is ours according to the curriculum you have laid out, and you have no authority over it, Minister Himmler.”

“What did you say now?”

“You said you have no authority, Heinrich Himmler. If you’re going to argue with the system I’ve built up like this, shut up and go away.”

“Does this rolling rat-like child dare to talk about ‘the system I have built up’ in front of me, who has been with me since the founding of the party? Has it been two years since you took on the role of Annnerbe? It was established by the late Secretary Gregor and managed by the Prime Minister, and the position promised to me was Annenerbe. The Prime Minister has a crush on you, don’t you see anything in your eyes? You’re the one who’s been allowed to stick your ass there until the war is over.”

“What’s your guy? The fact that this was your seat is only evidence that you have become incompetent enough to not keep the desk you were promised.

The atmosphere between each other became so harsh that one could pull out a pistol at any moment, and the tension that had arisen was broken as one of the SS members rushed in.

“dismissal! This is an emergency! The Russian army is rapidly advancing toward the Ruhr!”
