Rasputin of the East

＜ 238 >

Deputy Prime Minister Zhugashvili asked for a cigarette.

The remnants of last night’s most extravagant and debauched party in this bunker, home to the living leaders of all Great Germany except Himmler and Rommel in Italy and Göring in Spain, were still littering the floor.

The war is over.

It would be fun if it was a victory, but a defeat.

Smoking a Havana cigar, he recalled the past.

After opposing Trotsky’s hopeless uprising, he fled Russia and came to Germany.

He founded the National Socialist Workers’ Party and, together with two close friends, took control of the German Empire.

For the sake of the national interest, they joined hands with Britain and waged a war, and now defeat is approaching.

Even after news of the model’s demise of suicide arrived ten days ago, Hitler was denying reality and uttering only one counterattack that could be won.

But where is that?

Defeat is already very clear.

Only today did that idiot understand the situation.

But it was too late to turn back.

He has always been content with number two. After the counterattack ended in defeat, power was handed over to Hitler, but Hitler only found out that there was no more answer.

What if Hitler, who had become a decoration, was purged and he led the Nazi Party?

No, what if you were against arguing with Denmark in the first place?

What if the Nazi Party had not been founded?

What if he hadn’t fled to Germany in the first place, entangled in the revolution?

I felt the shadows of the dead.

Jugashvili never once gave up her faith.

God certainly existed, and the dead were waiting for him.

Although invisible, several ghosts were around him.

Ernst Röm, who was literally killed by the SS during the Night of the Longsword, Wilhelm III, who he killed, Trotsky and Lenin, ‘old comrades’. And another public servant, Secretary Gregor.

They were watching him.

I’ve never been afraid of the dead, but even if I did, I wouldn’t be more afraid now.

They didn’t come to him. Rather, he, too, wanted to be with them.

However, there was one thing I was very sorry about.

‘mother.’

Without any reasonable grounds, he was convinced that his mother was still alive.

At home, waiting for my son to return as soon as possible.

If you go there even now, the warm borscht made by your mother will be waiting for you.

I wanted to open the door and go in, give him a present, and while it was still warm, I wanted to grab a glass of borscht and put it in my mouth. I wanted to hear the voice of my mother who reassured me that I had worked hard.

It was a hope that could never come true.

-I, Joseph Djugashvili, Deputy Prime Minister…

write slowly

In my heart, I wanted to leave a letter to my mother.

How much he loves his mother, and how sorry he is for not being able to return to her.

But it never happened.

Having captured the will, Jugashivili stood up.

The bunker was already full of living corpses.

There were only three people here who were not expected to die, designated by Deputy Prime Minister Jugashvili.

Hitler’s private jet pilot Hannah Reich, secretary Traudl Junger, and SS major Otto Günsche.

Many of the people who remain here in the first place are those who would have been hanged by the new German government even if they were released from war criminal trials.

There were very few who chose the former at the crossroads of simply being shunned and dying or just dying.

There were those who did not, and there were people who wanted to die with the Nazis, and there were those who were pushed away. The children of Goebbels who were led by my parents and slept on sleeping pills.

– Crackling!

thought is over It was a sign that his time was now over.

Like Hannibal, he picked up the prepared vodka and drank it without hesitation.

A burning pain engulfed me.

That was the end of it.

SS Major Otto Guinshe’s job was to retrieve the corpse and keep the enemy out of reach until then.

“Your Excellency said the body should be burned, but under the current circumstances it would take too long to burn the body.”

“There is a plane that I originally drove to get you out. It will be enough to get to England.”

“I’ll give you four soldiers. Please move the body to the aircraft as soon as possible.”

Even before the corpse was burned, it could not be passed on to the enemies. An order is an order, and even if you are shot down while escaping, the crashed aircraft will burn and burn the body, so you will fulfill your order.

It wasn’t dangerous or hesitant. Rather, she was glorified as a true Nazi.

Guinshe had promised to lead and defend the last few hundred men, so she was the only one who could finish this mission.

As a staunch Nazi, he couldn’t help but be proud.

– Commander, this is an urgent report.

“What!”

The sound of machine guns was loud. The tank guns fired fire incessantly.

Even the MK-1 tank was fatal if hit by that damn Panzerfaust, so the Russians entered with their flamethrowers squeezing out all the places where the enemy might be stuck.

In the meantime, various reports have come in. Reinhard Heydrich, who was captured by the German government forces, became a beehive, or Manteufel and Paulus surrendered to the Russians and became prisoners when the troops were destroyed.

But there was nothing here. Aside from feeding flamethrowers or grenades to enemies that pop up annoyingly…

-They built a makeshift runway. I wasn’t able to check it properly because I was receiving anti-aircraft fire, but a German transport plane was preparing for takeoff.

“What? Damn, where is it?”

– It’s within 1km from there.

“Damn it, okay!”

What you need to do at this point is simple.

“Don’t let them sortie by any means! Request artillery fire!”

Shortly thereafter, concentrated Russian artillery fire poured down on a temporary temporary runway, and a German transport plane that had just taken off was hit by a Russian howitzer and crashed.

The German forces guarding the runway also melted at a tremendous speed when they engaged the Russian armored units head-on, and the Russians rushed to the burning rubble to retrieve the bodies.

Fortunately, the corpses were removed from the plane in a moderately charred state before the fire caused by the crash burned them to a well-done, and among them were Adolf Hitler, whose famous mustache was burnt by the fire, and other dignitaries under his command. It was difficult to identify, and the Russians hung the bodies on a street tree until they were retrieved by the Gendarmerie, under orders from above.

And just two days later, the British and German remnants who remained in French territory were completely annihilated by Koneff’s forces, ending the French campaign.

A week later, Rome was captured by Patton, and a month later, the remaining German and British forces in Spain were completely annihilated by Rokosovsky’s offensive. The whole fell into the hands of the Russian army.

Even then, the British troops who had given up their defense were retreating in stages to Sicily, Malta, Sardinia, and Corse (a small island to the north of Sardinia).

To be precise, there were not enough troops to maintain the defensive line.

As the troops were evacuated to Gibraltar, etc. and gathered to the mainland, the Italian front became a behind-the-scenes battle.

In fact, it was not unreasonable for the British army to give up the Italian front, since supply to Italy itself became impossible the moment Gibraltar was taken.

And finally, Gibraltar was closed.

It was also a death sentence for the remaining German forces such as Heinrich Himmler and Rommel, the fascist party led by Benito Mussolini, and the remaining British forces in the Mediterranean such as Montgomery.

Kremlin.

“We have finally come to a situation where we need to pay more attention to post-war handling rather than war.”

“The war is over. There are rumors that the UK will be negotiating soon.”

Irina sighed.

“It seems like my job is getting bigger.”

“……haha.”

“So you had fun with her?”

He patted my leg as if he was a little dissatisfied, a look that would not have been seen if there had been an outsider.

“sorry.”

“I’m sorry, take a little more time. The war is over. No matter how wealthy and high your status, what do you do? A child will grow up without knowing his father’s face.”

“Uhhh…”

In my sins, I drank a glass of water.

“Anyway, I think a negotiator will come from England soon…”

“There is nothing but unconditional surrender.”

“I thought so.”

Irina said lightly.

“Then now is the time for final approval on the occupied territory issue.”

“Germany… it can’t be helped.”

“Because they have already recognized the new German government.”

“It would be best to change the flag as a sign of clearing up the past, purge those who cooperated with the Nazis to the very root, and indirectly impose restrictions on military power by tying them up in the form of an alliance.”

“What are you going to change the flag to?”

“this.”

The color scheme was the same as the previous one with black red gold, but it was in the form of a Nordic cross.

“What do you think?”

“Not bad. Going back to the original story… What about ‘that’?”

“The territory is, as previously said, from those two rivers, the Glatzer-Bourve line.”

Loss of Western Territory? There is no such thing. The northern territories were enough to return Schleswig to its pre-war state.

To be honest, French guys, give me territory just because it’s pretty, just maintaining the territory before the war should be terrific.

“Austria and Switzerland decide whether to become independent through referendums, and the Netherlands ends up making all their colonies independent through the UN mandate.”

Although it has been reviewed several times, the ‘Vivian’ case may serve as a basis for hanging some men in the war crimes trial, but the impact is too weak.

Since the number of victims is not in the millions…. It would have been more impactful to have secretly conducted biological experiments on the disabled, but they are on the same route anyway.

Moreover, the problem is that such human rights violations are not taken very seriously. Did you know that Sweden also tested human subjects on white subjects?

Simply put, you can’t use morality, a very powerful weapon. Of course, the level of punishment for the Axis powers is bound to be weaker.

“Portugal, an Axis power, will be permanently annexed to Spain, and Britain will gain independence from India, Ireland, and all other colonies, this is a constant.”

Northern Ireland? There is no such thing. The UK cannot set foot on the island of Ireland in the future.

No, you have to expose every nook and cranny of the hatred the UK has done so far, brush it off, stuff it into a textbook, and curse it over and over again.

As long as it’s already infamous with Germany, the only way to morally criticize the opponent is to make Britain into demons under the world.

Of course, other countries are not morally better. It’s just that there are a lot of places where these bastards go wild, so the number of antagonisms is overwhelming.

But that’s it and this is this. I’m sorry, but if we’re going to have moral legitimacy, we’ve got to be the Nazis in England, right?

“What about Italy?”

“Abandonment of all colonies, decentralization, and abolition of the monarchy.”

I dissected a map of Italy.

“Italy will be reborn, not as a kingdom, but as a federation.”

“commonwealth……”

“I think America will like it, each ‘state’ will have its own National Guard, isn’t it the perfect environment where a guy like Mussolini can’t come back?”

“That’s right. But what about the Pope?”

“It’s DC in Italy.”

That is, the idea was as follows.

The only law that applies to the whole of the Italian Federation is the Italian Constitution.

All states have all powers except diplomatic powers.

The Italian government cannot have more than 1,000 militants. Therefore, all they can do is summon and command the National Guard in case of emergency.

The sovereignty of the Federation lies in the Parliament, which is made up of two representatives from each state. The chairperson is elected by each state in rotation for a one-year term without a voting process.

The head of state is nominally headed by the Holy See.

“Do I have to be the Pope?”

“Because the Savoy royal family wants to set an example.”

“I just don’t have a princess to send to, so… I’m joking, I’m joking!”

As I stared at her, Irina hurriedly adjusted her words.

‘I do my karma.’

Taking a deep breath, I nodded my head.

“Yeah, in fact, it wouldn’t matter if the ‘president’ instead of the pope was in that position, but when the pope sits in the head, he can’t help but exert his influence without realizing it.”

Considering what percentage of Italians are Catholic.

“And the aggressive expansion policy will have to be delayed, and there are many Catholics abroad.”

If the Pope is sane, he cannot allow fascism to rekindle. Fascism is an ideology that can only exist if there is an enemy, but the Pope, who has to speak of love and mercy, cannot stand by without knowing the danger.

The reason for having to go through such a cumbersome task is simple, at present, the German Empire does not have any special laws to purge the remnants of the Nazis. It’s as simple as ‘crime of treason’.

It was necessary, but also necessary, to uproot fascism in Germany in a world where the Nazis were more moderate than their original history.

It’s difficult to do that in Italy, so I tie my limbs up like that, and I really don’t know what to do in England. Should I just make it a Swiss Mk.2 like MacArthur was trying to do? Destroying industrial facilities?

Anyway, we have to make sure that we don’t hear fascism again. After the Prime Minister’s reckless remarks, British right wingers went to the tombs of Moseley and Edward VIII to pay their respects… um…

I shook my head as I imagined the gentleman on TV replaced by Westminster Abbey with every remark.
