Rasputin of the East

＜ 240 episodes >

England, London.

The cabinet members gathered in the underground shelter felt the ground shaking intermittently.

The Russian air strikes are getting worse as time goes by. In addition, most of the information sent by the British submarines scattered across the country – assuming that they had not yet sunk – was that they were gathering the Russian Navy’s fleet.

Naturally, the Royal Navy tried to break through each.

There is nothing more foolish than trying to stop Russian forces on the ground. Therefore, it was necessary to delay the start of the landing as much as possible.

But the Russians didn’t know that. Naturally, they prepared thoroughly and moved, or dragged the British Navy’s trade-destroying fleet back into the ship and destroyed it with aircraft and submarines.

The number of cruisers, already lacking, was again reduced. They were attacked by submarines, by aircraft, or by enemy surface ships in ambush.

No one already knew that the information was leaked, but it was difficult to specify the path.

“Can you stop the Russian navy’s landing?”

“Currently, the forces gathered on the mainland are mostly 4 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, and destroyer-class below. In the Russian Navy, it is estimated that most of the cruiser classes are lost and the main force is destroyers.”

Even then, the British Navy has an advantage in numbers.

“Then is coastal defense possible?”

The 1st naval officer shook his head.

“First of all, many of their destroyers have firepower that can even match light cruisers. Moreover, Russian aircraft cannot be ruled out.”

In the rest of the country, except for Italy, German ground forces had been wiped out or already hopeless, but part of the U-boat force and air force had escaped to Britain and continued fighting.

However, after the start of a large-scale offensive against Italy, it completely abandoned Italy and the Mediterranean Sea.

“Soldiers in the Mediterranean can’t last more than a month from a positive point of view. Supplies, food, ammunition, and oil have long since been completely depleted.”

Their gaze then turned to a man who had fled to Spain, then sailed back to Portugal and then sailed to England.

Hermann Goering, former commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe.

He was present here as an adviser to the Air Corps, and he had come here on behalf of Rommel and Himmler, who were already dead.

“My men are doing their best, but the loss of gas and ships is beyond their control. If this trend continues, the U-boats will be wiped out before Himmler blows his head away.”

“How about the Luftwaffe?”

“We’ll do our best, but personally, I don’t think we can do anything more than help with air supremacy. In particular, the loss of attack power is serious. No matter how well Rudel fights, how will he be able to stop the Russian fleet alone?”

Göring shook his head and looked bitterly towards France.

For the first part of his exile, the British tried to conduct large-scale strategic bombing, and many of his men were also there.

And most of them became immortals. The Russian air force was several times stronger than expected, and most of the air strikes on the Allied Powers ended with only huge damage.

By the time Arthur Harris was sacked, the Luftwaffe had no bomber power left.

“How about licensed production of that Ho229?”

“sorry. However, there is no satisfactory jet engine performance so far.”

“The Ho229 that our military used did not come out as well as the catalogue. Since the engine development was not finished, an engine with lower performance than the expected performance had to be installed, and to compensate for this, an auxiliary rocket thruster was added.

Still, it did not have a clear advantage.

From bombs dropped every day by Russian planes from the Netherlands and France to the US Army Air Corps that set up their nests in the Azores and launch air strikes.

Their strategic bombing was not only in industrial areas but also in coastal defense areas, and military ports were naturally targeted.

The meaning that can be inferred from there is simple.

The Russian army intends to land.

“A coastal amphibious defense operation?”

The British army devised various operational plans. Install oil pipelines and flamethrowers to fire fire on the landing Russian troops,

“In the early stages of the landing, we will land simultaneously in a large area and break through the coastal defenses as quickly as possible.”

It launches simultaneous landings in both the English Channel and the North Sea, ramming the maximum number of troops.

What is the greatest strength of our military in the first place?

is the number You have to watch the qualitatively superior troops flock like zerglings, so they can inflict massive damage to the enemy in a way that other countries would not be able to do without a single point of concentration.

To find a similar case, consider Bastogne’s 101st Airborne Division. At the time of the Ardennes Offensive, the 101st Airborne Division was besieged in Bastogne and underwent an onslaught, and in terms of power, there was nothing strange about breaking through immediately. The division frantically defended until Patton’s reinforcements arrived, leaving all other places empty and placing all the troops there when the German offensive came, and finally held it.

The British Army is the 101st Airborne Division in a big sense, and we are the German forces besieging Bastogne.

Why do you need to be obsessed with one point of concentration? If you attack from all sides at the same time, it will eventually break through, right? If there is any intention to gather the enemy’s reserve forces in one place, it is not a good idea to stick to one area.

“For this, there is a task that must be prioritized, that is, to seize control of both the North Sea and the English Channel.”

“That’s right.”

“Is it possible?”

“At Scaperflow, the air force fed two enemy heavy cruisers and three light cruisers with torpedoes. At the very least, you’ll be crippled for a few weeks.”

As we went further, accurate information on the condition of the British army came in, and the confidence of our military increased.

The current British army suffered heavy losses, such as blowing all the skilled soldiers from the continent at the beginning of the war.

Weapons, troops, and even fuel were scarce, and air power was also severely damaged due to continuous bombardment.

In fact, the planes were in good condition.

“Still, if we think we’ve started the offensive, there will be a crowd. From four-shot bombers to light fighters.”

“You should hope that the Air Force and Navy will take good care of it.”

“Don’t worry, I will crush them.”

Contrary to Novikov’s confident voice, the admirals seemed to lack confidence.

Even so, the enemies could not keep their hands on the plate that produced even a small amount of fuel on their own.

“The British government communicated its intention to negotiate through the Japanese government.”

“We have only one will: the unconditional surrender of the British government. There are no other negotiation terms.”

A condition the UK would never accept.

“Britain’s main force is concentrated on the coast. Massive casualties are expected upon landing at the coast, but…”

“So, didn’t you make all kinds of equipment for the purpose of landing only?”

“It’s a bit disappointing that there are no battleships though.”

“The heavy bombers will drop mega bombs instead of battleships, so don’t worry about the enemy fortress on the shore, even if the speed is a little slow, you will be able to break through it.”

While meticulously examining how to break through the British coastal defense line, how to advance inland after breaking through the coastal defense line, and the route, the door burst open.

“Your Majesty, this is an emergency.”

“what?”

“It appears that Mussolini is dead. It’s hard.”

“What? Say it again.”

“The … anti-fascist rebels escaping by boat from the mainland to Sicily, and Mussolini, who installed explosives in the soles of the ships on which the key figures were boarded, so Mussolini and Heinrich Himmler, and the British, German and Italian generals Many were also killed. How did the remnants of the fascist party hide the fact of Mussolini’s death and try to do something with only the king…”

“You mean you’ve hit the limit?”

“Yes.”

“What is the situation in Italy?”

“It looks very confusing. Both the British and German forces have beheaded their leaders, and their defenses have collapsed… General Kesseling is still in Sicily, so it will hold out for a while, but it is unlikely to last long.”

“Okay, one more headache.”

I clapped to call attention.

“Let’s all focus, does Mussolini’s death end the war? Shouldn’t the war in Europe really end now?”

“of course.”

“Mussolini died, and the last remnants of the Nazis disappeared together, so the amphibious war will not have any problems.”

“We have confirmed that a number of coastal guns have been installed in the Dover area, but our long-range weapon is aiming at the Dover coast. Ground-to-ground artillery alone can subdue the coastal defenses of Dover.”

Of course, the British army can also expect an attack on Dover. But on the other hand, if you ask what the UK can do in anticipation, you can be sure that it will also be quite difficult to answer.

And it’s not like we’re just pushing our troops into Dover.

***

Cherbourg, France.

The waters of the Channel Islands, where a naval battle recently took place, are driven by waves, whether or not they know that countless lives, from cruisers to high-speed boats, have been swallowed by screams into the sea beneath them.

And now, many amphibious ships were packed in this place, carrying the crew.

A man who looked at the scene picked up a bottle of wine.

“brother!”

“Are you alive or dead?”

The man wearing the rank of colonel, who had been walking around, sat down next to Nikolai.

“why?”

“Give me a drink.”

Nikolai looked at his younger brother with an absurd look, trying to rob him of his brother’s rightful drink. I don’t think the imperial family will be like this.

“It’s old.”

“Don’t give it to me with such a rotten face, I’m not going to pay you back, I’ll pay you twice when I go to England.”

“Who believes what you say… No, it’s okay. What are you doing these days?”

“I was busy, taking care of one little boy, so my father told me to keep it as a useful witness to be used in the war crimes trial.”

“kid? Are you male or female?”

“Woman.”

“…ho?”

“Why are you making a face like that?”

“No, if your taste was that way… Originally, you had to throw away the chin strap, but because it’s my younger brother. I will quietly close my eyes…”

Moments later, Eino Ilmari Utillainen, who opened the door to find the wingman, witnessed the Guard Colonel feeding his wingman a Suplex.

“Turn it off….”

“I came here because I was really worried about this, but I ended up being reckless.”

“……Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t get hurt. That’s tough too.”

“Did you hear it?”

“Did you hear it? did you hear I’m the f*cker, that person is really stupid.”

Nikita, who was seriously contemplating whether to shoot a soccer kick, reached out and raised her half-brother.

“Hey, I didn’t come here to have a fight like this.”

“Or why are you fighting?”

“You call your fists with your tongue!”

“You’re? are you bastard? You don’t even treat me like an older brother anymore!”

“Come on, calm down. So what’s going on?”

“Kuhhh… I’m here to see if you’re doing well, because in order not to break our heads, we have to match signals with that gentleman.”

The amphibious forces will face enormous resistance. this is for sure

Some of the means were also identified.

“First of all, there was a story in the British military’s operational plan that if it seemed impossible to defend with conventional means, it was said that poison gas was released, but it came down directly from the upper level. That’s why it’s so hard to check the gas masks for the kids right now.”

Although many have been replaced with mechanized equipment, all horses are excluded and transported only by vehicle.

“Our troops heard that too. They said that if the British army uses poison gas, we will shoot poison gas too.”

“I don’t know whether to shoot poison gas or not, I came here to provide close air support. Wasn’t our cavalry attacked by friendly planes in Spain last time? Is there a problem with the pilot’s vision test? How can a human being a pilot not be able to tell the difference between a Panther and a T-32?”

“I didn’t shoot it or my subordinates shot it, so I didn’t have anything to say about it, did you come here to get the kids mentally educated?”

“If the air force doesn’t drop bombs straight, we’ll all get f*cked at the beginning of the landing.

“I heard that there are no battleships now, and the main shells of the battleships are rolling around.

“It can penetrate bunkers, but seismic bombs do better.”

“Earthquake bombs are like torch cars, but it’s a bit pricey to drop them, and it’s not like a four-shot bomber just rolls around, but that’s how it happened. Don’t die, it’s over when you die, but we have to take care of it.”

“… now who cares about whom?”

Listening to their conversation, Utillainen thought to herself.

‘It’s warmer than I thought for a conversation where we both end up like pandas.’
