Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 293 >

Whose army is the strongest army in the world?

That’s not something that can be answered flatly.

However, in general, the Federal Army of the United States and the Russian Imperial Army are mentioned.

So what if the two countries clash?

The tyrant leading the Russian Empire answered.

In that case, not only the United States and Russia, but the whole world would annihilate under the flame of nuclear weapons.

Those two countries are the only countries with nuclear weapons, and at the same time, they declared that if there were any other countries trying to develop nuclear weapons, they would make a fool.

It was said that the development of practical and peaceful purposes would be helpful, but even a child would know that it contained the meaning of surveillance.

In any case, the answer of mutually assured destruction and the path of co-existence alone cannot satisfy the luxuries. Such people talk about what would happen if we went to war without nuclear weapons.

Most people conclude that in that case, both sides have no choice but to negotiate.

The Russian army has no ability to penetrate the US navy and advance into the US mainland, and even if the US military makes an amphibious landing through the poor Russian navy, they cannot defeat the Russian army with their meager ground forces.

In the end, after some air battles worth flying fighters and bombers sortie in, the war ends with negotiations.

Neither side can subdue each other by any means and methods.

If so, what if, after all, both countries are hostile?

What country would have to deal with the US Navy and the Russian ground forces at the same time?

There was only one conclusion that could be drawn from it. Let’s just negotiate with the government that made the situation worse with a coup d’etat.

Unfortunately, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and France, commonly known as the Anglo-French Empire, was in such a situation at the time of its birth.

Is the navy strong?

Unfortunately not. Most of the British flagships fell asleep in the North Atlantic, while the rest were doomed around the world.

The handful of ships left—even though there were no main ships—were all taken away as compensation.

France?

It was sunk while fighting the British navy, and sank while fighting the Japanese navy, and was destroyed anyway.

ground power? The vehicles urgently deployed in Alsace-Lorraine now inform the reality.

British 14.5-inch triple self-propelled recoilless gun.

A weapon equipped with three large-caliber recoilless cannons mounted on an armored vehicle in order to produce enough power to defeat the Russian T-45 tank with overwhelming firepower even if the rate of fire is abandoned.

These weapons are being used as first-class equipment in the British Army. The French anti-tank power was more normal than that.

The high mobility 75mm recoilless gun mounted on the scooter, of course, was developed not to destroy Russian tanks from the front, but to aim at the side or relatively weak armored vehicles.

These devices, which were mass-produced and sprayed at a low price, were a preparation for the Russian army that would come in from the German border in case of emergency.

Maginot lines are no longer meaningful. It is also a defense line that has already been terribly shattered, but now the strategic significance of such a fortress has been lost.

Although they had to engage in mobile warfare, the French did not have the ability to properly apply the new technologies they had developed on their own during the war to their tanks, and the British were in a better position, but the decisive issue was money.

In Britain, a ration system was in place, and France had not yet fully overcome the national damage.

Of course, they did their best.

Diplomatic power comes from military power. The navy cannot rebuild it overnight, but the army can tinker with it.

France and Britain, respectively, are struggling to rebuild their already catastrophic military, such as analyzing the infantry weapons of the Russian Empire and developing the L3 rifle that uses 4.6mm bullets, and deploying F5U fighters to their own forces after obtaining a license from the United States. wrote

Even if it requires the people’s blood, tears, pain and effort.

nevertheless.

The U.S. Navy carrier task group floating in the North Sea, which took off right after the coronation ceremony, and the 12 divisions of the Russian Empire’s regular armored divisions, which were deployed for maneuver training in the Alsace-Lorraine area, and the same number of motorized rifle divisions were sent to the British and French Empire. there was fear

Rumors of the war circulated, and people were fleeing.

But the situation changed in an instant.

***

Over the North Sea, near Norway

-Falcon 1, here is the baseplate, two Russian aircraft are approaching your position. Crash Route, damn it, it’s so fast.

-This is Falcon 1, I’m in the mood.

The squadron commander clicked his tongue. It was a secret order, and the Pentagon’s unofficial instruction was to ‘provoke the Russian army with a hole in it’.

‘However, there should never be any casualties. One way or the other, let it end with a minor financial loss. Even if it doesn’t come out, it’s best.’

What is the reason?

Why did the upper level order that the Russian army should be provoked? Do you leave a hole for that too?

Is it for the purpose of testing the strength of the Russian army? Or to make the confrontation worse? To win more money for an isolationist-controlled parliament?

He felt as if he had become a handful of cards that someone had hidden in his wrist, not even interfering with everyone’s drafting and playing board.

‘Chicken game.’

Wouldn’t it be appropriate as a pretext for escalating tensions with the Russian military if even a small, minor contact accident? I’ve been urging you not to cause any casualties on the Russian side, so just scratch your wings a little.

Of course, his baby will also be damaged, but well… since he’s in the position of receiving an order.

Maybe they didn’t even know they were running for that purpose now.

“…Repeat! This is an emergency!”

In an instant, the pilot suddenly woke up from his thoughts and pressed the key on the radio.

“I hope to resend it.”

“The Tommy guys flew a fighter jet. Eight aircraft are approaching the intercept route!”

“…are they crazy?”

First of all, the performance difference between the Banshee fighters of the US military and the flying pancakes of the British and French Empire is overwhelming. The difference in top speed alone is more than 100 km.

And what about the Russian Air Force planes that took off from the Scandanavian Peninsula? Although they cannot be seen with the naked eye now, there were not a few testimonies that they saw them flying at twice the speed of sound.

It is not known whether he will be able to maintain that speed, but what is certain is that they are high-performance aircraft that are several numbers ahead of his baby.

None of the American or Russian planes could be shot down by such sluggards. Will they have a chance if they bring out the Fury, the second-class aircraft of the US Navy?

In fact, it is also difficult. Because Fury is a little better. However, it is not an entirely insurmountable gap.

No, this is not the time to talk about aircraft performance.

You don’t know what it means to argue with America and Russia?

“What are the Russians doing? now…..”

“It changed direction. British aircraft are now approaching in the direction they are, and they are accelerating!”

“……. Also.”

I was convinced that this was a consensual play. He was planning to increase his troops in the North Sea on the pretext of a little military friction, and threaten to step on the British and French Empire if he left.

And for Russia, it would be much less burdensome to create friction with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and France than it does with the United States. Although it cannot be done, and the Russian military has also launched a sortie in the name of countering the United States, there is no justification for staying in this waters for a long time, but once a military clash occurs, the parties can be crushed in this waters for quite a long time.

Even if there was only one of the two, the opponent would have no intention of sharing the fruit with them.

“Azimuth 270! We turn too!”

“Even if I run now, I can’t catch up in time! The Russians have broken through the speed of sound!”

“What……?”

In an instant, a sonic boom exploded.

***

There is a common misconception about the sonic boom.

It is thought that a sonic boom occurs only once when it breaks through the speed of sound.

But no, that’s what it sounds like on a stationary ground, but that’s because the sonic boom keeps popping up from the back of the aircraft.

Thus, the Russians didn’t have to worry about timing the props with sonic booms at supersonic speeds.

– aa

The canopy made of bulletproof glass exploded due to the impact of the sonic boom of a Russian Air Force aircraft flying at supersonic speed.

Behind the Russian fighter jets, who literally barely deflected them, one could see a fighter jet crashing into the sea with broken propellers, damaged canopies and incapacitated pilots.

There were some that the Russian pilots were good enough to make a flight that barely passed right in front of their nose, but the large propeller in the front of the aircraft and the human body in the canopy could not withstand the shock wave.

“success.”

“Flight captain, is this okay?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Anyway… Wouldn’t that pilot drown?”

“If I drown, I’ll sell my dick, and is this their airspace? It’s on the high seas, and we’re not doing anything offensive to them, did we fire the cannons?”

“……”

“The guts that flew here in the first place were imaginary. I was just imagining my guts.”

The flight commander replied, who laughed as if a prop plane was interfering with where the supersonic plane was playing.

“The original operation can be changed from time to time depending on the situation on the ground and the judgment of the field commander. The US Navy guys are now third parties in this conflict, so they should wash their feet and go home. It’s ours now. Besides, didn’t you tell me to do the same at the ground base?”

“That’s right, but… It’s not even in a state of war, but it’s a little bit like thinking that you’ve captured a person.”

“The British and the US Navy guys will take care of it, and if you can’t hold on until then, you’re my seller. Whether it was the U.S. or British troops, did you clearly check the situation?”

“Yeah, I’d never be able to say ‘there was nothing’. It would be easier for them to announce that the aircraft has failed.”

“I don’t know, if you’re really claiming that the crash was due to an engine failure or a propeller problem. After flying at supersonic speed, we’re running out of fuel, so let’s withdraw.”

“All right. Flight Commander.”

‘Now, the superiors will decide how to use this situation politically.’

Of course, if you look at the situation, it is expected that the Russian Empire and the United States are trying to increase work, while the British and French Empire are trying to cover up work.

That would be pretty funny, though. In any case, there would be no sparks going on even on them. On the contrary, depending on the policy of the superior, you may receive a medal.

Either way, the people will cheer. There are still a lot of people in Russia who have bad feelings for Britain.
