Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 298 >

From the Great American Duke of the Russian Empire to the young love of a girl, she knew quite a bit of information.

A man named Anna Romanoff was such a being.

In terms of princesses, the eldest daughter, single, and unofficially belonged to Ohrana.

Irina also pointed out that she was immature and did not know how precious her life was.

Of course, she did not directly infiltrate other countries and carry out dukes, but she had considerable authority in designing and controlling the dukes.

This was part of the succession of powers.

To be precise, splitting the enlarged Ohrana.

The division to prevent the head of the intelligence department from having abnormally powerful power by dividing the unified intelligence service system into three divisions into FSB, GRU, and SVR into internal intelligence, military intelligence, and external intelligence.

So she was actually exercising considerable authority in the departments that would be separated into SVR. Of course, Irina still exercised her authority over the Office of Foreign Intelligence, but the existence of a woman named Anna was parting Ohrana little by little.

In the first place, she was not the person to be the head of the intelligence service. Being a member of the Imperial Family was also a problem, but it was also a problem with her personality.

Her personality of doing things one by one out of interest, plus a bit of eccentricity, required someone who could hold her straight and control her, apart from her ability to rival Irina’s.

Now, one of her opponents, Irina, is monitoring her to make sure she doesn’t do useless things, and Anna herself is not showing her intelligence in the work of the intelligence service.

A mission to release the poison of nuclear omnipotence and missile omnipotence within the US government. Whether it is fueling public opinion on disarmament against the US military, finding corruption in the US military industry through various routes and distributing them to the yellow press, or spreading conspiracy theories about the military-industrial complex.

The US and Russia are aiming enough nuclear weapons at each other, and if a gangster-class confronts them, they will defeat them with nuclear weapons. I thought that if the US and Russia were to fight, humanity would be destroyed anyway, so there would be no need for a conventional weapon system.

People don’t know how dangerous it is.

-Although the initial investment cost of nuclear weapons is a little high, the operating manpower and long-term maintenance costs are much cheaper than other weapons with the same power, so it is beneficial to armaments.

It sounded cool and seemed plausible. If you attach a number of plausible materials and show it, you will be convinced.

It was also her job to instill a powerful illusion about the weapon system called missiles. In fact, the fantasy of missiles was shared by many within the US military, and the ‘Man Shock’, in which the cruiser was sunk by only two air-powered fighters, was the decisive blow.

In addition, many people agreed with the logic of what use the tanks and fighters as offensive weapons would be if they didn’t go out of their territory, and whether nuclear weapons would suffice, even though aircraft carriers are also offensive weapons.

To this end, she even established a company called ‘Cooper Resources’ in the United States under a borrowed name, and even bought some ‘real military companies’ by using the funds as stock investments.

That’s what I did when I was in my 20s.

Perhaps the United States would have been horrified to learn that the ‘Arsenal’ proposal to replace all surface ships, including aircraft carriers, was a Russian work.

It is a semi-submersible type that hides most of the hull below the water surface to avoid radar detection and exposes only the essential radar, bridge, and missile launcher above the surface. This design, equipped with a launch pad, would have been a good design, if not less than that of an aircraft carrier, if it had come out in the 21st century.

The problem is that the missile is a test weapon system that has not yet been created and has not been properly verified. They are grinding scientists, and the fact that the US, a clearly latecomer, mass-produced such ships was just a little bit of credibility.

However, the U.S. Congress was dazzled by the candy idea that, through unification of the supply chain, the cost could be dramatically reduced while maintaining similar or superior power to the existing aircraft carrier and battleship-oriented fleets. The lobby might have played a part too.

– You can never shoot down an enemy fighter with an anti-aircraft gun. The same goes for the machine guns, the radar-linked 75mm anti-aircraft guns and 40mm and 25mm anti-aircraft guns did no damage to just two fighters. Therefore, it is correct to mount an additional missile launcher in the place of the anti-aircraft gun.

– The artillery is out of date. Now, anti-ship missiles are the key. In the 20th century, guns will only be used as salutes.

-There is a limit to the size of missiles that can be mounted on aircraft, but at the same time, this limits the missile’s range and destructive power. In addition, considering the Russian air defense network, the probability of successfully returning an aircraft that successfully attacked it converges to 0% from the beginning. This is not much different from the Japanese kamikaze attack seen in the last war. Unlike the monkeys of the East, we, the United States of America, should pursue a safe, secure, and humane attack using missiles without forcing their pilots to commit suicide.

Countless media outlets took the bait for this Believe it or Not media play with overestimation of Russia’s military capabilities, media play through fabricated figures, and even disparaging the possibility of developing aviation technology, and what was expanded and reproduced was about naval aviation. This led to indiscriminate stigma.

It was no wonder that both houses of the United States thought that all warships would only serve as missile carriers in the future, and that there was no future for the type of aircraft carrier.

In addition, it was moving with the aim of establishing itself as a company that had a hand in the submarine side, and based on that, exercised great lobbying ability in the US Congress.

However, while fishing rods were cast in the US Congress and the Pentagon, she encountered something that seemed to be very enjoyable after a long time.

“Unrequited love… It’s also the sculpture of a lady.”

In fact, if a man has unrequited love, the simplest way is to live in two houses. like their father did.

Initially, the code name ‘Morian’ was a subject of research due to its nature, so the Russian military was interested and observing it.

Therefore, even if it became a government, there would be no military words.

But the problem is that the one I like now is the female side.

Since there is a huge difference in status, you can just ignore it and move on. And in general, that’s right.

‘But that’s no fun……’

Anna smiled bitterly.

After all, there must be several years between the princess who was engaged to her brother and her brother until they get married, so it was enough time for her to have fun.

“There is work to be done. First of all…”

Anna had her dark hair hanging down to her shoulders. Her black hair, along with the color of her skin, was a factor her father passed down, and she was very proud of it. Someone very close to her said it looked like cigarette ash, and there were even instances where she was beaten to death.

After looking in the mirror, Anna neatly trimmed the collar of her suit and put on long gloves.

“Then let’s move.”

***

“hi.”

The eyes of the black-haired girl who raised her head instantly lit up with disappointment.

“why? Are you disappointed that it’s not the Colonel?”

“….. who are you?”

“Let’s call it Colonel’s younger sister…”

“Your sister? They don’t look alike…”

“He’s a half-brother, and besides, I look a lot like my father.”

“…… is that so?”

“Why, Colonel… No, what did your brother say about me?”

“Not at all… the colonel never said anything about his family.”

“Huh, that’s right, my family’s situation is quite complicated.”

After a few conversations, I understood how far Nikita was talking.

‘Doesn’t that lady know that I and Nikita oppa are imperial?’

Looks like fun to play with. Anna put a cherry in her mouth and introduced herself.

“My name is Anna, and my rank is… First a captain, and now I’m in charge of naval submarines.”

It’s no lie, it’s a ‘US Navy submarine’, but it’s true that I was involved in a project to unify a naval submarine into a nuclear attack platform equipped with a radar picket ship and intercontinental cruise missile.

This was a really usable item, but at the same time it was a product that could be made sufficiently with current American technology.

Therefore, rather than shoveling to find out the specifications of the US Navy’s SSGN that someone will make and deliver, even if they do not intervene anyway, it was a plan that we made and used the specifications and actual data to give trust to the spy company.

Frankly, who thinks that the defense industry that builds and delivers the country’s top-secret nuclear projectile means, from the president to the last, is a spy lair, no, it is a paper company established by a foreign intelligence agency from the beginning? He was well versed in American military technology and was one step ahead of it, so it was a plan that could be attempted.

“What are you studying?”

“…medicine.”

“It’s medicine, it’s a good science.”

Anna smiled and opened her mouth.

“Do you want to be a doctor?”

“If possible.”

“Ummm… well, that’s a positive effort.”

With an unknown smile, Anna opened her mouth.

“There was a reason to upset my brother in front of a good girl from a prestigious family.”

“……yes?”

“It was like that when my brother talked about marriage, so I went back to thinking about what caused him to show such an attitude when talking about marriage with a young girl who has a nice face, has a lot of wealth, and has nothing to lose. ?”

“……….ah.”

The girl’s face turns red.

“I……”

“Call me sister, why?”

“Really?”

“Yeah, he made that face in front of his father, so he was in a very bad mood.”

The indecisiveness of Nikita’s indecisiveness was the biggest problem, but Anna told the story she wanted to hear.

“You like my brother.”

“Yes, yes? No, no!”

startled and jumped in surprise. Also, it wasn’t that the pendulum was wrong.

“Yeah? I don’t think I saw it? Then I’ll pass it on to you, because that girl doesn’t even care about you, so just marry her.”

“Come on, wait… wait a minute.”

“Are you ready to admit it?”

“Yes…but…”

“However?”

“I… I know that the Colonel is the son of a noble family…. He is a very tall person, so he must have climbed there at that age.”

Of course, Nikita climbed there with her own abilities, but anyway, it is true that she is a child of a precious family.

“And… the marriage is an arranged marriage. No matter how much I say no, if the adults in the family decide…”

“So, are you just going to give up? clean?”

“……”

The girl looked like she was about to cry in front of Anna, who spoke like she was pushing.

Anna said something pitiful.

“If you’re that indecisive, you won’t win anything you can win.”

“……”

“In one of my father’s words, there is a story that if you go out of sight, you go out of your heart.

“yes.”

“Then what should you do to get close to your brother, and to be able to tell your father, ‘I’m going to marry this woman’?”

“……”

“You still have a few years left, and you’ll have a full-time job in Moscow next year, and I won’t see you for a while, but, by the way, you need a secretary to go up to the center and work? The secretary will be chosen by civilians, not by the military… The choice is yours.”

“I… can’t get out of this hospital room?”

“I asked, as long as you can prove that you are capable of an independent social life as a normal human being, you can leave the hospital at any time.”

“……”

“There is still some time left, so think about it, ah, and the salary is quite high, so there will be quite a lot of applicants. If you want to be thoroughly prepared, it would be better to make a decision quickly.”

At the intuition that it would be a good viewing after a long time, Anna smiled inside.
