Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 278 >

The position of President of the United States of America is indeed a tiring one.

It was a premise that most would agree with anyone, from the presidents of the 21st century to the first George Washington, but it was inconsistent without any grand strategy, even though it became one of the two giant axes that move the world from ‘accidentally’ in business. This is especially true if the secretary of state in a moving country died of a heart attack shortly after taking office while the vice president died of a heart attack, and the president just a few months after taking office followed the same heart attack as the secretary of state, who suddenly failed to hold an election.

Cordell Hull felt blood run down his nose. it was coffee

“shit.”

This damn war.

If it was an overwhelmingly number one country, the United States of America was second to anyone in the world.

A country that ranks second in the world and whose ability is still questioned, unlike the Russian Empire.

It’s been a long time since I’ve proven that I’m worthy of the hegemony of the New World, but can I compete with Russia?

Further, can you win?

He looked at the map. It must have been broad daylight in China now.

The Russian Empire has put pressure on war several times if it crosses the border, and now it is difficult to see that the public opinion is very good, it is difficult to know whether the parliament will approve a budget to start a new war against Russia or whether the people will tolerate the war. .

I was in favor of punishing the Chinese for plucking their nose hairs in the US, but there is no other law that prevents the US from becoming like Germany, where the US invaded Denmark to give up its former land, and Russia stole its underwear and chastity.

Of course, if I had heard of someone who would have to cross one of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to meet, I would have burst into laughter. The Russian Empire’s ultimatum was just blackmail.

There’s no way he’ll ever know. Mikhail Kim was as unwilling to war as Cordell Hull.

Moreover, if you go deeper, the US military has hit the front line several times, and China has retaliated against it. I wonder how much Americans really care about it.

‘The Republicans would have stumbled if they wanted to stumble, but they wouldn’t have enough seats and political influence to make an impact on their own.’

However, that is only when it can deliver a victory message to the people. There is a limit to the North Korean attack, and they are conscripting the insufficient troops even in the Qing Dynasty, accepting the refugees and conducting a large-scale draft.

Bombing alone cannot kill them all. Even in Japan, where even the Russian military intervened and bombarded with a momentum not to leave stones on stones, there are still tens of millions of people living there.

‘I don’t know if I use such a weapon that burns all the land.’

However, it was unclear how Russia would react to immediately throwing it away as a bomber.

Maybe I was applying too much stimulation, and I saw the scene of testing the weapon with my own two eyes, and seeing with my own two eyes, I couldn’t even predict how much repercussion the weapon would cause.

After all, it’s the same thing that a city was destroyed, so should I ignore the carpet bombing and intervene by saying that I had crossed the line, or would I take the same thing out of a secret warehouse and try to make a mushroom cloud somewhere in South China?

The fact that the latter possibility was non-zero contributed to the overuse of Hull’s cerebral cortex.

Does Russia have this weapon… or an atomic bomb?

And do you know if they have it or not?

Uncertainty abounds, and the future is invisible.

‘Damn, wasn’t this originally something you had to worry about.’

Even if you resent the dead, the answer will not come back.

Europe is complicated. When Russia and Britain entered into a royal marriage, as Russia wanted, cooperation between France and Britain was greatly shaken, and then the confrontation between Germany and France entered a lull.

Neither France nor England trust each other at all, though it would be funnier to believe.

Asia is relatively clear in black and white.

East Japan belongs to Russia, West Japan belongs to the United States.

The Korean peninsula is a little loose Russian, North China, Qing, and Tibet are Russian, South China and Southeast Asia are American, and there are some French in the south, but their power has been greatly reduced.

As for Africa, the Russian side seemed to be half way off.

Oceania and South America are undoubtedly American.

In fact, if you don’t overextend yourself, that is, if you’re satisfied with taking care of Oceania, Africa, and Southeast Asia, you can step back. If you are a little greedy, you can even intervene in India during a civil war.

Now Republicans want it more than anyone.

But Hull was feeling it.

If we do not further increase the influence of the United States of America in even one country, we will regret it deeply.

The UN is not just a tool for world management, even if the outgoing President Huey Long and King Mikhail Kim are nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s just a last resort filled with guns ready to fire.

Besides, if you just step back, it’s a fatal blow to your prestige problem.

Russia’s world-management proposal was a poisonous holy grail. It would be disgraceful if a country that wanted to do global business could not beat China and back down.

And it was clear that the people would never like it.

‘Damn, what the hell are you telling me to do?’

Moving forward feels more like being sucked into a quagmire, and stepping back makes the people angry.

It was fundamentally different from the war with the Japs. If it felt like swimming at the beach, it felt like rolling around in the tidal flats.

It is impossible to advance north without preparing for war with Russia.

War with Russia is America’s worst nightmare.

However, we do not know when the war will end as we wait for the enemy to get tired of attacking and collapse or not.

They tried to secretly offer to sell arms to a country that seemed to have a certain degree of freedom of movement included in the Russian territory, but was it to reduce the risk while accepting good conditions, or were they just afraid to say a word in the Kremlin and bowed down? I don’t know, but Russia-made weapons also signed a contract to purchase in bulk.

Of course, fighters and rifles have different weights, but in this case the scale leans towards the rifle. It’s simple, it’s a matter of sincerity.

If you look at it, Korea has infrastructure related to rifles, but there was no infrastructure for aircraft, and the scale was small.

Therefore, no matter what type of aircraft is imported, the infrastructure must be built from scratch, but it has an ammunition factory or tank maintenance facility.

Therefore, choosing Russian equipment that is almost incompatible with existing weapons, formally, rather than unilaterally, and based on their own judgment, has to build a new one, so it is still more usable than a fighter whose initial cost is not much different, and the infrastructure is less It could be seen as a kind of oath of allegiance, to replace it with a Russian style even though it is not necessary because it is possible to maintain it.

Of course, I adopted the one that was released as a new weapon to replace the AKM in the Kalashnov Arsenal, but I admit that the performance is much better in my home country, but starting with the poor productivity, I gave up the AKM that I was using for various reasons. Thanks to the adoption, it was only compatible with some parts, ammunition, and magazines that were compatible with Russian military equipment.

Even though he used his brain to say that if he changed it anyway, he would change it to something that the Russian military would use over and over again, but as a result, he was a fool, but in the first place, a standard Korean rifle was not the primary concern of the President of the United States of America.

The important thing is that they performed a performance that put pressure on Korea, and Korea hit the head. Through this, he was going to use the neighboring countries as a kind of satellite station, so he sent a message telling them to choose their own side, and if they would obey, they would take care of themselves.

And actually started the device on its own. That was the really important part.

I think Russia’s ambition for world hegemony is of course there. Then there is a high probability that the US will block it.

However, the question of whether or not they had enough ability to prevent it continued to flow only in the pessimistic direction.

Without backing down from the war that has already occurred, he drives him into a game of chicken and eventually makes his opponent crawl to the negotiating table to protect his face, preserve his domain, and retreat.

And while it is unavoidable for a war that has already been intervened, it minimizes involvement in other wars as much as possible.

That was Hull’s judgment of the best possible scenario under the current circumstances.

But how long will it take to realize that scenario?

time, tenure.

‘How much longer can I sit in this seat?’

It was tiring to even look at. If I had to think about it, the shortest would be about 1 year, and the longest would be 5 years.

‘I envy him, he doesn’t have to worry about his tenure, he doesn’t have to be nervous about voting, he doesn’t have to worry about his policies being overturned by his successor, and he won’t have to worry about the lineage being messed up.’

The difference between a dictatorship and a democratic country in which a capable dictator sits, and if a sufficiently competent leader moves the entire nation in unity, its efficiency is of course far surpassing that of a democratic country.

There is no need to worry about standardized decision making, so agile and quick responses are possible. There is no need to abandon reforms or follow procedures when pushed by domestic and foreign opposition forces. Whether successful or unsuccessful, you can even have the driving force to push forward even with a determination to steer clear.

However, the bad thing about a dictatorship is that there is no way to replace its capable leaders when they are corrupted or incompetent in the first place.

When you choose a rocket from whether you are going to go on an airplane or a rocket to your destination, and the direction turns in a strange direction in the middle, or when it is launched in the wrong direction in the first place, there is no way to stop it.

However, considering the present-day Russia, it was difficult to expect both. Next generation… Maybe after that, I don’t know.

‘At least it would be better without the people biting me in the council, more people from the same party.’

In fact, putting everything else aside, he was envious of a Russian monarch on the other side of the ocean to have a sure and permanent bridle to the press on all sides and not to hear the babbles of parliament for budgetary reasons.

“I hope it goes on quietly until the election.”

Of course, he also knew that it was a wish that converges to 0%, whether domestically or internationally.
