Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 222 >

“I think that’s fortunate.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I had been born in Hohenzollern and had not been to Russia to meet you, I would think of what Germany would have been like.”

“……”

“Germany was able to switch sides just in time. The UK or Japan will not be able to do that.”

“……It’s not wrong.”

Even if the territory was torn apart, it became difficult to divide Germany or divide Germany as long as the new German government was approved for the purpose of stabilizing the rear for a long war with Britain.

To be honest, I’m not sure if Austria will ever be able to become independent.

Anyway, the new German government is the ‘Allied Forces’ that declared war on Britain and Japan.

Suddenly, I wondered what Hitler would be remembered for in this world.

Of course, I had a huge bomb in my hand, but assuming I didn’t detonate it, Hitler would probably be called… a demagogue and a populist who ate up a country.

Maybe it could be used instead of Rasputin as a pronoun for the unsuccessful tying with Wilhelm III and ruining the country, although the twinkle didn’t touch the woman.

The expulsion of the Jews is a disgusting recurring event in history, and it didn’t even explode on a Holocaust scale here.

If I had to use an analogy for this… Yeah, it’s fascist Italy.

They switched sides in the middle of the war, and were beaten by us throughout the war, except for one victory over France and one counterattack against us. Since Hitler took office, it’s just a role change if Hitler becomes a beehive like Eva Braun and hangs upside down.

As a result, Italy was not even divided. Instead, as Italy joined NATO in its original history, Germany has no choice but to join Russia.

Well, if we can’t beat Germany, we’ll be able to beat Britain that much, but since we’ll need some American ships for the amphibious operation anyway, it’s good to destroy Britain and occupy Britain in a joint operation.

“But I have a little regret. You, why are you in St. Petersburg and not Berlin?”

“Why, if I were in Berlin, would the Kaiser take me and write? Don’t you know that I was the prince’s doctor in the first place?”

“That’s right, but if you were in Germany, I can’t help but feel sorry for you when you think like that.”

“It’s coercive, but if I had assumed that everything was going the same, I would have married you, overthrew Paris and marched to Moscow.”

“It could be.”

“In that case, it would have been better not to promise military aid to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or, before that, we should have stopped the confrontation with Britain over the construction of that damn fleet.”

“I can’t help but think that the Empire would not have fallen this far if you had been my husband and Bismarck, considering that I was paying the price for ignoring Bismarck’s maxim with blood and iron.”

“…unless I can turn back time and you from my childhood come to see me in St. Petersburg, there will be no way of knowing forever.”

Then, leaning on her body, she said softly.

“I think we can fill 1 million troops with the troops taken out of the prisoner of war camp and additional conscripts.”

“It’s good.”

“I have to do as much as I can to not hear the Allied voices, but instead, Prime Minister Almar Shacht’s head is… huh.”

The German empress, who smiled timidly, said lowly.

“What weapon did you promise?”

“We work hard in the factory, so if you want, we can give you a second-class weapon right away, but that’s not what we want.”

“Yes, I will wait patiently.”

There is a reason why they said they would receive the same weapon that was compatible with ammunition and parts in the first place.

“In the East, it is said that a woman who has made a new household is not treated well, is it true?”

“It also varies from country to country, and to put it in one category just because it’s the East is nonsense, so there are places where the notion that widows should be suicidal is strong, and there are places where they don’t, and it’s true that my hometown is a bit strong like that.”

There were quite a few people who were forced to commit suicide because of that guy’s door.

“Then, at least I don’t know the past, but now and in the future, I have to show the message clearly that I will continue to look at this man.”

There is nothing more certain than the integration of weapons systems to tell you that it is definitely attached to Russia.

“During the war, the German Empire will actively cooperate with the Russian Empire. Even if it’s not possible, we can hear that we have contributed more than Hungary.”

“The Hungarian army also established a major in the south, didn’t they? Well, if you collect a million and fight aggressively, the story might be different. It’s several times the size itself.”

After all, among the major allies, the Czech Republic is the heart of Russia’s industry, and Yugoslavia had little to no ground troops, but considering that they shed blood for control of the Mediterranean during the war, Germany, a latecomer, could not catch up with them in importance, so I’ll put up with anything other than similarly fighting on the ground. Let’s set aside Hungary, where there aren’t many….

“I can only tell you to work hard.”

“After all, this is what we expect from us.”

“I can’t say no, I can’t do that again, hoo.”

I shook my head.

“The post-war order will definitely be worth seeing.”

“Currently, the main focus of our dealings with Japan is the United States, so we will give Asia to the United States, but we will take a certain share of it. We might hand over Oceania and the Indian subcontinent and take care of Europe more clearly.”

“The retention of Prime Minister Shacht in the European Economic Community has confirmed that you have no intention of completely excluding Germany from the post-war order. But it is the United Nations that has grown it on a global scale.”

“It will be a completely separate organization from the European Economic Community.”

“Amyo, Russia and the rest are completely different from the US, Russia, and the rest.”

“Even if you say…”

“Is that right? I took a peek at your idea, was it a bit sarcastic? All substantive powers of the UN are held by the standing board, not the general assembly, and no agenda can be passed even if only one of the two standing members opposes it.”

“Even non-permanent members are not decorations.”

“The non-permanent members are not elected at the general meeting, are they? Aren’t we going to go with one five nominations from the US and five nominations from Russia? It is said that the general meeting and the board of directors decide on re-approval every five years, but the board of directors has made a resolution, but it is unlikely that the general meeting will object. You have to see it.”

“As you can see, it will be difficult for Germany to occupy a seat as a non-permanent member for a while as it is guilty of causing World War II anyway.”

“I know, maybe one place in the Czech Republic and one in Hungary, right? Yugoslavia is not being compliant with you these days, so I don’t think you’ll be able to get in even if it’s a misdemeanor.”

“You’re wrong, you only obeyed while holding on to the leash, and you’re just blaming me because you think the leash has loosened up a bit.

How much did Tito do to the Soviet Union during the Cold War? Where is the man and what is he doing now?

“We should hope one day we can get in too, well.”

“If Germany stably returns to the international community, it may be possible sooner than expected.”

“Well, I understand, in the first place, it doesn’t make sense that the international community is one vote for one country, right? Then, it is true that each little country over there is one point, and the United States and Russia are also on the same surface. They have different nationalities and different populations.”

“right.”

“There will be few chances to take the lead on the world stage for a while, so even in Europe, we should aim for the number two spot, isn’t it difficult? The French won’t readily recognize your supremacy, so I think it’ll be pretty easy to score points just by cracking down on France, right?”

Turning round and round, Bismarck, she clicked her tongue.

“It happens in the end.”

Then, the door slammed.

“dismissal! your majesty! Excuse me, but I’ll go in!”

The door swung open and an officer ran in.

“Excuse me!”

“Something? It must be urgent.”

When I frowned and became annoyed, the officer hurriedly lowered his gaze to the floor and continued.

“Italy will surrender!”

It was urgent.

***

After listening to the detailed report, it was not meant that all of Italy would surrender.

“Negotiation with Mussolini is impossible.”

“Not Mussolini. It was Crown Prince Umberto who made secret contact with us.”

“Prince Umberto?”

I snorted.

“If you are the Crown Prince and Nabal, and there is no real force, surrender is meaningless. Ignore……..”

“Some of the Italian military leaders and the Fascist Party are also in sympathy.”

“Then I can’t accept you anymore, so you’re going to come back to the pre-war as if nothing had happened?”

“King Vittorio Emenuele will abdicate, and Mussolini has lost much of his power, so there is no problem in arresting and executing him and his entourage.”

“Hmm.”

Even in original history, Mussolini was ousted.

“And the fascist party can stay in power.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“How many German and British troops are in Italy now?”

“It is estimated that there are about 200,000 people in total. Many of these units have experienced combat in the Balkans, Anatolia, North Africa, and Germany, but at the same time, most of them have suffered heavy blows and are undergoing reorganization and rest in Italy.”

“Can the Italians quickly defeat the Germans and British?”

“Isn’t it possible to move secretly and by surprise? It’s not just there, and one half is in northern Italy, and the other half are scattered from divisions to brigades in Italy.

“The question is whether that is possible.”

The Italians systematically and systematically surprise their opponents without even noticing Britain and Germany?

‘Once a secret leaks from the side, it will leak from below, and it’s a home ground, so we fight hard… Creepy, I wouldn’t even think of Italy as a different country.’

After pondering, I came to a conclusion.

“No worries. If they really overthrow the regime on their own and ask for a proper negotiation, we will accept it, but otherwise, there is no reason to give them power on our own. Continue the operation, there is no report or change of operation except to the extent of a successful coup d’état in Italy and a request for a ceasefire.”

“Yes, I understand.”
