Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 216 >

China, Chongqing.

The head of the great warlords ruling Shaanxi, Shanxi, Chongqing and Henan provinces sat alone and drank tea.

“I’m sorry.”

The huge warlord that once conquered Gangnam was completely destroyed by the French army, and those who followed Sun Yuan’s maintenance completely disappeared.

Of course, there were a lot of mistakes, such as smashing Russia where Sun was standing still, but what?

The attitude of Yan Shishan, the leader of the salt warlords, was simple.

Absolute neutrality, neither side of Qing nor of other warlords.

He would have been trampled upon without his strength, but even when he was holding only Shaanxi Castle, neither the Northern Jina Islands nor other warlords of Japan dared to offend him.

This is even more so now that the territory has increased as the legitimacy of the national government has been taken over.

It never advances, and never tries to expand its territory. Chongqing, Henan, Shaanxi? They have been charmed by him, not conquered by him.

Shanxi is the most industrialized and most stable region in China today. Seriously, it would be difficult for any warlords to dare to stand up to him, even if he was aiming for the presidency, if he had somehow expelled Japan.

The flame warlords were the most elite, and in terms of the performance of their weapons, they were superior to the Japanese army in terms of small unit battles. Although the performance of the deal with Tibet is a rip-off, he also obtained some tanks.

“dismissal. The long-awaited guest has arrived.”

“Come in.”

The man who appeared was completely hiding his identity with a fedora hat and frock coat. Seeing him wearing leather gloves and not revealing his identity, Seoksan Yeom recalled a scene from a movie that was filmed in Russia.

“See you, General Yeom.”

It was a refined tone, but there was an unknown awkwardness as if something non-Chinese was speaking Chinese.

But Yan Shishan didn’t care, and the man immediately opened the box he was wearing next to him. Inside was full of unmarked gold bars.

“Now that I have received such a gift, I have no choice but to return it. When I return, I will bring you something good, so don’t forget to take it.”

However, Seok-Suk Seok-san replied in an official manner, as if he was not very happy.

It’s not that I don’t know what it meant in the first place.

“Can I ask for one thing?”.

“Tell me.”

“Now, the general has both the legitimacy of the national government’s legacy and military power. Now, like Zhuge Gongmyong, do you plan to complete the Northern Expedition to obtain the Heavenly Order?”

“I want you to be straightforward.”

“My knowledge was short and I did not learn to speak in reverse.”

“It was fun, yes, a thousand people. I’d be lying if I said no interest at all, but if it’s the Kuomintang’s will, I’m just wondering, my friendship with Chiang Kai-shek promised that I would protect him if he came into exile, and he wasn’t part of the National Government. Nothing, just rumors. Now that the French who killed Chiang Kai-shek fell to the Japanese, we cannot confirm their authenticity. Besides, it goes against my principles.”

“You are talking about a three-dollar two-way policy.”

“I do not join the party, I do not intervene in matters of another sex, I do not use the military for personal gain. This is the three Buddhas, obeying the center, protecting the local security. This is two yo.”

“Then there is no North Bee.”

“The person behind you may want it.”

“I don’t know what he wants. You don’t even know.”

“I don’t know either, do you want me to fight the Japanese? That’s right, it’s enough to just move the corps, but the army of Jungwon is no more elite than anyone, and even in Europe, there are very few troops that are more elite than them.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

As if he didn’t care, Yan Shishan continued.

“I wondered who was trying to trick me, I spent quite a bit of time and money to know ‘the man’, but well, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to pay a tribute to his eyes, yes, a wise maiden in the middle of nowhere Should I choose the truth and do the truth? It will be difficult to find such a stately color as Poppy and Seosi, but I think we will be able to save children with good off-white.”

It was a bit of a sarcastic remark, but the man just accepted it.

“He just wants the midfield to settle down as soon as possible. You seem to know everything you need to know, so let’s talk a little more seriously.”

The territory of China in the 21st century as I knew it was divided by a total of eight powers.

First, our Russian Empire. Part of the northern territory was swallowed, and assimilation work, including migration of nomads, is in progress. It’s lucky or bad that there were quite a few nomads who volunteered for the military because of the severe drought that occurred on the Ordos Plateau.

Second, the Japanese Empire. South Manchuria, Taiwan, and Haenam were the only places that were officially annexed.

Third, the Qing Dynasty, a puppet country of the Japanese Empire. The northern coastal areas, including North China, are their domains.

Fourth, they ate some of the territory on the border of France and Indochina. However, Vietnam and other countries were attacked by Japanese forces, effectively destroying the Indochina Government-General and guerrillaing the survivors.

Lastly, in Tibet and Europe, it can be used only for security purposes, and when operated, it is comparable to a Japanese army tank.

First of all, there are four forces that the Chinese regard as foreign powers, and there are also three powerful warlords, including the Flame Warlords. In addition to the Yeomgye Warlords, there was one warlord that extended its power from Guangxi to Hunan and Hubei, and one more pro-Japanese warlord from Guangdong to Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang Provinces.

Once the war is over, there may be a way to recognize all three as independent states. Of course, the co-workers will have to grind their heads, but it would be better to split them apart by leaving the national government itself.

In addition, it is condemned as a co-operative country in Qingdao, but it can maintain the national supremacy anyway.

In any case, there is a way of recognizing the territorial rights of warlords in that way, and then establishing the United Nations to pressure China not to start a war.

Will those warlords give up their interests and cooperate in creating a unified nation? Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan are sitting under the oak tree, swearing their oath to be brothers.

All other warlords must be suppressed with force. Even if they cannot prevent a single war from happening, if either side is likely to win, they will provide material support to the losing side. There are other ways to force it.

How sophisticated would it be if the cause the warlords put forward in the first place was refined? If we abuse the power of the permanent members of the Board of Directors and split them apart, even if it stays for half a century, we will be all over the place. Even more so when there is a huge difference in economic power.

“You seem to be in a pretty good mood, don’t you?”

“The unhappiness of those I don’t like is my happiness.”

“It is a report from Bayern. The cleaning work is finished.”

“Good job.

“Still, some troops escaped.”

“Isn’t that unavoidable?”

It is enough to make them unable to carry only the heavy equipment they have.

There are now no Axis-occupied zones east of the Maginot Line except south of the Alps.

“Isn’t it not long since Italy was unified?”

Mussolini is throwing all separatists into political prison camps, but isn’t there something wrong with him?

“I mean, is there any way to get Italy to fall into self-destruction, do you have any good ideas?”

“It will not be easy. Most of the people are now in the political prison camps, and at least two of them are firmly in control of the military. Power fundamentally comes from the gun barrel, and it will be difficult for Italy to overthrow or be overthrown if the armed group is held tight.”

“Hmm…”

“Isn’t it better to come up with a way to annihilate the enemy fleet somehow?”

“Once we show signs of landing on the Italian peninsula, I wonder if they will crawl out…”

But for that to happen, the US had to turn its gaze away from the Pacific. It’s not hard to understand, since Hawaii is seriously considering the possibility of passing, but did you ever win a big win at Midway?

Of course, the 8 ships that flew from Midway aren’t all of the Japanese Navy’s carriers, and I understand the urgency since they’re building carriers right now… I want you to send in your main force in a large scale to clean up the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

But until then I didn’t know.

How stupid the Nazis are. And how to pull out the nose hairs of the US, which focused on Japan.

Waterfront near Brooklyn Shipyard, New York.

A roar erupted along with the gunfire. Citizens in great chaos fled, and as they approached the port, a merchant ship hit by a torpedo caught fire.

One of the submarines, completely wounded, was gallantly firing deckguns from deck into New York.

Of course, they did not openly shoot towards the city, but did aim at Puget Sound Bay’s warehousing center and Brooklyn shipyard.

However, for this mission, the submarine, which was equipped with a Nevelwerfer instead of a deck gun, scattered all the rockets brought in fear of an American counterattack and quickly submerged.

The U-boat that fires artillery right now is not a typical U-boat, but is built with a submersible concept similar to a British submarine monitor ship. it was a case

The accompanying British submarine monitor ships, the M-class and X-class, were armed with a whopping 12-inch main gun and two 13.2 cm extension guns, respectively.

And the submarines sought to destroy as many New York port facilities and warehouses as possible.

The reason was simple. When the South of England was bombed by the US Army Air Corps last time, the British panicked that the US Navy was trying to gain momentum and launch an amphibious war on the British mainland.

And before being attacked by such British, Hitler proposed a massive trade-destroying war that started with the attack on New York Harbor and mobilized submarines, masquerade cruisers (armed merchant ships), cruisers, etc.

Although there were concerns that the US was over-stimulating, Admiral Donitz and other submarine groups had already started a war with the US, and they actively supported it, saying what was the problem. headed for the Atlantic Ocean.

As a result, the sights of New York on fire and the Statue of Liberty severely damaged by 12-inch shells were enough to shake the American people.

It was an agitation in the worst direction for Britain.
