Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 300 >

cold war.

No one knows when nuclear weapons will arrive every day just by hearing the name, the US Navy and the USSR Navy aim their guns at sea, spies put bullets in each other’s backs, and James Bond in a suit sneaks in to find out the tank specifications and tells the KGB I have to eat koro borsi, and every day I think about the reconnaissance plane flying through Siberia, surface-to-air missiles flying to catch it, and the daily proxy wars taking place in the Middle East and other places.

But no.

Of course, if it was the middle of winter in Cheorwon that the Cold War in the original history was colder than Antarctica, now the days are as loose as the changing seasons in Seoul – although the seasons of autumn and spring have disappeared in the 21st century – Russia or the United States can seriously wage war with each other in the first place. I’m not even thinking about it

Anyway, the fiercest thing right now is an espionage war, and there is no arms race. No matter how stupid American tanks are, would you put them all in a warehouse or sell them, and dismantle the armored units, the air force, the navy, etc., leaving only the nuclear weapons, a deterrent to war? Something like this in original history… It’s only been in the Navy, damn it.

In any case, the call for disarmament without signing a Strategic Arms Restriction Agreement during the Cold War had never been mainstream in Congress, so it must have been proof that our Cold War was warmer than the original history.

And that espionage is also playing on our palms. Hoover… Honestly, I was nervous, but this guy is good at beating the Communist Party, but it doesn’t seem like he’s a spy at all. The only one who catches them all is a small dagger. Let’s not talk about the CIA…. We’ve been mixed in with our fracks since its founding.

Seeing that we are putting all our energy into good things with only the few pieces of information we shed, we don’t know if we should laugh or cry. If I knew that I was being abused, my blood pressure would go up a bit.

The story was long, so there was no such thing as a tense relationship like the original history.

So I can enjoy my daily life.

The table was full, even with the children out of the country.

“Are you ready for the wedding? Lev, show me your grandchildren soon.”

“Father… I’m working hard.”

“It’s good whether it’s a son or a daughter, so I want to hug my grandchildren as soon as possible, look at Nikolai, aren’t you already going to give birth to two grandchildren?”

No, I have more grandchildren than two.

It’s a private matter.

“Victor.”

“Yes.”

“If you get married, please don’t cheat. yes?”

“How many years do you have left?”

“It’s coming soon, time is as fast as a bullet, twat, I need a woman strong enough to hold on to him.”

Tatiana grinned.

“He inherited his father’s blood.”

“No, honestly, I feel sorry for this……”

“Unhappiness is a piece of shit…”

Maria smirked at the little Anastasia’s voice.

“Yes, I am a sinner.”

“Okay now?”

Olga grinned and sliced the steak.

“If I had been 20 years ago… if I knew I was sorry, I would have told you to play with the kids.”

“We, too, have a close relationship between parents and children for an average aristocratic family. To be honest, I’ll make them marry by arrangement, but the guy he explicitly dislikes is very generous, even to the extent that he has already declared that he is free to marry.”

Nicholas II was very domestic. Well… No, as a human being, you didn’t play with me because I didn’t want to play with you? You’ve been busy! Without opening your eyes!

“Honestly, am I not the one who half-rebuilt this country?”

“So that’s why people think that even if you wear octopus legs. It’s another thing to be insulted for being a father who isn’t faithful to his family.”

I have nothing to say.

“Honestly, are you going for diplomacy or meeting the government?”

“No, do I have to add one more word? And you know! EU coexist.”

European Union, EU.

A large military-political-economic community with the predecessor of the European Economic Community.

The economy of each country is effectively integrated with the Russian ruble as the key currency, tariffs are eliminated or minimized, and mutual inviolability…. However, the Hungarian invasion of Yugoslavia caused considerable controversy.

As a result, since the Yugoslav government was divided and annihilated into several countries such as Serbia and Croatia during the invasion of Hungary, the EU Supreme Council’s decision not to violate the rules prohibiting wars between member states did not put pressure on Hungary, and Hungary was originally All of the targeted territory has been reclaimed.

Hungary, which regained all the territories of Austria-Hungary except for the territories taken by Czechoslovakia and Russia, and Austria, was left with only Serbia in an instant. , a state that has not escaped the decline of a weak country. Rather, it spit out territories including Macedonia and Kosovo, and the territory was reduced even more than before World War I…

Meanwhile, in the EU, as a condition for Serbia’s accession to the EU, Russia demanded that Russia complete all work, ongoing work, and population exchanges in its newly expanded territories to eliminate the element of conflict between member states. , Croatia and Bulgaria, all but Serbs were deported.

Of course, Austria is incorporated into German territory as a Principality of the German Empire, and the territory taken by the Russian Empire has no chance of being returned, and since I am the King of Czechoslovakia, Hungary’s expansion is limited here.

“what are you doing.”

“Oh, I’m thinking for a second.”

“Are you thinking of working while eating? It should be, really.”

“I play cards in the evening. After eating, we play board games.”

“It’s a board game, so it’s been a while since I played with you.”

“The TRPG is fine, and there are a lot of things to play, but the problem is that we don’t have time to play. In fact, that’s how the transfer of power is done. It’s not just because you have power, you have to deal with the tasks that come with it, and you’re exhausted.”

In fact, overwork is also one of the reasons dictators cannot be expelled. The Soviet generals did not live long either.

“So, we need to distribute the power in moderation.”

It will still take more time for the democratic system to settle down. It was clearly necessary to establish the tradition of constitutional monarchy even in order not to die from overwork.

“In a state of national crisis, it is possible to escape the crisis by giving all power to one competent being, because it is true that a dictatorship is more effective than a democratic government on the premise that it is moving on the right path. But the problem is that going down that right path can’t be sustained, because it’s harder to let go of power than to take it.”

Why is George Washington still respected?

The supreme state of the country, no, from a position where he could have become a king, he left without any regrets and returned home.

How many people can do that?

“I’m more Caesar than Washington… or Augustus.”

I said this in the sense that he took absolute power by transforming a system that was collapsing because it could no longer be maintained.

“Not Augustus, just Caesar, if you look at your personal life.”

“I haven’t shaved my hair?”

“Anyway, after talking about fun, it keeps leaking into work again.”

“A couple of times?”

“That’s right, but redrawing the borders of the world is hard work.”

In the 21st century, the famous border disputes have been put in the hands of the United Nations, us and the United States. Multiple menstruation maps as a bonus.

For example, the Senkaku Islands were arranged to be annexed to the Ryukyu Republic, and most of the Spratly Islands became French territory as most of Southeast Asia was annexed by France into Indochina before the establishment of the British and French Empire. became In the Middle East, the borders between Arabia and Russia were clearly defined, and the border maps were cleared up and left unspoken. In the 21st century, the border disputed areas, including the unoccupied Shiga area, were cleared up as Hungary ate all the neighboring areas, and Cyprus was determined to be one of Turkey’s few remaining territories.

Of course, there are places that are not organized. In Africa, or there, the tribes were so intricately intertwined that we had to let go. The Chagos Islands were incorporated into foreign territories as spoils obtained from Britain at the end of the war.

If we would rather fight that way, just as the British and French Empire united Indochina and created the federation of Indochina, a puppet state – we plan to intervene to prevent the British and French Empire from dismantling it even if it spit it out. Because we have to bite and rip with China at that size – reorganizing Africa into a federation would be a way.

“At least, all borderlands outside of Africa were either incorporated into one country as a package with neighboring territories, or the countries occupying the territories ate them up. After all, Africa is a troublesome neighborhood.”

This is all because of imperialism.

“Ethiopia continues to expand to the southwest and Liberia to the northeast. The independence referendum is being held in Algeria this time, but will the heavily armed Liberian army with US weapons leave Algeria alone?”

Liberia is close to unification of West Africa by mobilizing mercenaries and weapons that the US has already provided virtually free of charge. We are also disposing of useless weapons in Ethiopia in the same way, so I have nothing to say.

Mercenaries seem to come from all over the world. From Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Europe and South America. The main sources of absorption are India and Africa, where the scandal takes place. Since Tibet annexed Nepal and Bhutan, the borders have been built on mainland China, and the DMZ-like appearance with multiple fences, barbed wire, and minefields has appeared. none.

“I must say that there are too many dreamers who dream of the second you. Did you know that some humans even claim to be your son?”

“Kek?”

I heard the strawberry tart that I was drinking and squealed.

“What kind of bullshit?”

“It’s true, of course, there are few people who seriously believe it, so it just never came to the surface.”

Irina also silently nodded her head.

“No, really, do you call yourself my illegitimate child because you have no identity to impersonate?”

“Think of it as karma, do you remember how many paternal children you recognized out of marriage?”

“Above all, it’s important that your past isn’t clear, you weren’t born in St. Petersburg or Moscow, and you weren’t a human being, you showed up in St. Petersburg one day, did you?”

“No, I have never been to Southeast Asia! I rarely leave Europe, have I?”

“Well, you might cry that you only took the seeds.”

“Eh.”

It was just the sound of taste buds. Having finished eating the tart, I put down the tableware and sighed.

“Perhaps after a generation, there will be quite a few people who call themselves your grandchildren…”

“Shake.”
