Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 306 >

Indochina Commonwealth. Singapore.

“France back!”

“Independence or death!”

Thousands of people marched in the street.

Protesters carrying pickets and banners marched forward like a gigantic creature.

-bang! Tata ta ta ta tata!

Gunshots rang out everywhere. It was now a routine bloody suppression.

However, this time the story was different.

“Don’t back off! Fight back!”

And gunshots rang out.

– Tata tata tata!

Several soldiers of the British and French Empire were killed by the sharp gunshots of submachine guns.

“ね! They shoot!”

“Fight! response!”

“Cover! Shit!”

The soldiers of the Governor-General, who stood like line infantry, hurriedly sought cover and hid themselves.

“Fire in response! You idiots!”

At that moment, something flew. The glass jar flew in and broke and caught fire.

“Fire Blight!”

One soldier threw a grenade. But it didn’t explode.

“This asshole! You don’t have to pull the pin and throw it!”

No matter how much you looked at the colonial army, there was no way that the third-class, grenade-throwing training was done properly. In fact, the mistake of not pulling a grenade pin even for an elite soldier is something that sometimes happens in real-life situations.

But one of the protesters who grabbed the grenade, no, not the protesters, but what should be called the rebels, pulled out the grenade pin and threw it back, and the panicked soldiers hurriedly fled around the grenade.

The problem was that there wasn’t much cover on the streets, and the demonstrators shredded their guns at the soldiers who were kicked out of cover.

– Kwaang!

A soldier was seen falling out with the explosion.

***

Government-General of the British and French Empire, Office of the Governor-General.

“Governor! You must avoid it! Rebellion!”

“What?”

“The colonists have revolted! You should avoid it quickly…”

“A train? What did the soldiers do!”

“They have neutralized the tank! It is said that each of them is armed, so they are greatly pushed out of their heads!”

“These bastards! What did you feel about?

“You have reached this area! Your Excellency! Killing the rebels can be postponed until later!”

“Damn, what about my family?”

“Captain Ertrand took two squads with him, so you should be escaping by now!”

“Burn up all the paperwork, and if you fall for the mob, you can do a lot of damage! Zhang, can you spare the time?”

“How much?”

“Until you burn as many papers as you can.”

“I will make the most of it.”

***

“Aww! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

The tanker, with his whole body on fire, rolled on the floor in pain, but the protesters ignored it and rushed forward.

If someone had shot them, the pain would have been relieved, but it would have been better if they had been killed instantly by a shell exploded inside the tank.

The British and French forces fired machine guns, but the number of demonstrators outnumbered their ammunition.

In fact, it was obvious. The Commonwealth of Indochina, a colony of the British and French Empire, the horse was Indochina, and its scale was enormous.

Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, plus the mega-colonies of China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

As a result of World War II, the French colonies robbed of Britain and the Netherlands were combined into the existing Indochina as a super-large colony in Southeast Asia. I wanted to make it the India of the Empire.

Above all, he judged that Indochina, which has a buffer zone of Tibet and North and South China, is much more stable than India, which is in front of the Russian army.

The problem is that this is the 20th century, not the 19th century. Whether it’s the Russian Empire or the United States, I can’t see the British and French Empires trying to expand their colonies. In Africa, the cheap handing of weapons to Ethiopia and Liberia, the handing of Gibraltar to Spain, the use of nuclear weapons to urge the world to stand on this side or the other side, has created a gray area on the battlefield called the whole world. This was done in order not to be left behind in the first place, so as not to give room for the third force to intervene.

Nothing like the Neo-India of the British and French Empire was much better.

Thus, Russia and the United States competitively sprayed the surplus weapons.

Moscow, Russia.

“Shouldn’t we also be preparing to go to the moon soon?”

“Is it the moon…?”

“Yeah, the moon.”

I pointed to the sky.

“You already know that you have enough technology, right?”

“Enough. Theoretically.”

Koryorov immediately affirmed.

“Dr. Koryolov, the United States said they would send a man to the moon before the end of the fifties, even an unmanned orbiter before us.”

“I’m going to break out.”

“Shouldn’t we land on the moon sooner than America?”

“It will be. We are already recruiting and training about 20 new aviators, and the candidates for the three-seater lunar rover have not been officially announced yet, but they have been selected.”

“Who is it?”

“Yuri Gagarin, Alexei Leonov, and German Titov were judged to be the best, and among them, Yuri Gagarin was judged to be the most excellent in all aspects, including flight skills, physical condition, concentration, and leadership in resolving conflict. I was appointed captain.”

“Perfect.”

I nodded.

Yuri Gagarin, we don’t have the first astronaut title here, but that ability wouldn’t go anywhere.

Alexei Leonov, the world’s first spacewalker.

German Titov, the second Soviet cosmonaut to go to space, just after Yuri Gagarin, despite being defeated by the two.

The first spaceflight title has already been taken ahead of time, but will be the first lunar landing title.

‘Above all, we have to show something to get America to focus on space.’

The United States lost interest in the space race sharply after Apollo 11. Because it surpassed the Soviet Union.

What if the Mercury spacecraft were faster than the Vostok spacecraft? I don’t know, but wouldn’t the word space race not be coined? There would have been no moon landing.

“To make a big impact on Americans.”

***

USA, Pentagon.

“Minister, why not?”

“It must be true that the AKM objectively outperforms the M14, because that was the case in China.”

“As you know…”

“By the way, why should we use Russian guns?”

“Yes?”

“The AKM is essentially just a transitional rifle, so if the M14’s performance is below expectations, why not make a gun that exceeds expectations? There’s no reason why you should buy more stuff to run until the SPIW is complete and get rid of it, much less a US gun, but a foreign weapon that uses bullets that can be used to kill rats?”

U.S. Army leaders were still distrustful of small-caliber high-speed bullets, even after being severely slashed in China. Naturally, the requirement for SPIW was the use of 7.62mm rounds.

The SPIW was still in progress, with requirements such as loading 30 7.62mm rounds, the M14’s accuracy due to automatic fire in China, to reduce ammunition consumption and to fire a high-speed three-burst, high accuracy, etc.

“……”

“Anyway, this budget is dismissed, if there is such a budget, we should mass-produce at least one more nuclear warhead. In any case, the next battle will all end up with nuclear weapons.”

***

Western Japan, Tokyo.

“The struggle continues. The frequency of protests has increased significantly.”

“It is proof that the people are angry with them. It is also unfortunate that students, who are the future of the country, actively support us.”

The leader of the party, Kenji Miyamoto, opened his mouth.

“Russian intervention will be prevented by the US. And Americans cannot afford to intervene, so there will be no foreign military intervention in our revolution.”

To put it bluntly, it was the logic that Congress would oppose military intervention to prevent communism, but that the US administration would not tolerate Russia eating the whole of Japan, so they would actively try to stop it.

“Because Americans don’t want to care anymore.”

“Kuroda, what happened to the smuggling of weapons?”

“With Minobe’s help, it seems possible to some extent, but that’s probably the surest way.”

Currently, there is no military organization called the Japanese Army. It was disbanded by the US and Russia.

Instead, there is a kind of public army.

Police Reserve, or Japanese Guard.

Armed with the Winchester M1894 rifle used by the U.S. Coast Guard, the Southern pistol, and the machine gun commonly attached to patrol boats, it is all about carrying a rifle to a few fishing boats to monitor the coast and crack down on smuggling. It was a force. The pistol was a better weapon than the cops who occasionally had one and mostly sticks.

“You mean raiding a police reserve base near Tokyo.”

“The French Revolution also started with getting guns and ammunition from the Bastille. They don’t even have machine guns, so they won’t be able to resist easily in front of the people’s waves.”

Above all, the police reserve is full of survivors of war crimes trials. or something special.

Those who have escaped the Russian and American blades are still aghast. Several chaebol families were disbanded horribly, and the U.S. and Russian governments thrifty shared the money as reparations, and even said that it was a reparation for aggression to Joseon, etc. notified

Naturally, Japan protested, but the Japanese government had no choice but to admit it, as the Allied Powers, especially the United States, which was grieving against Japan, actively supported that all countries that suffered damage from Japan had the right to receive compensation from Japan.

And in the end, it was as if the debt was owed to each Japanese one by one.

Naturally, the anger of the Japanese people was high.

They started wars and suffered the same persecution, so why are they still atrocious and we should be held responsible for starting a war of aggression?

“If you agitate like that, it will be enough to gather people, and then we should get the weapons and start our revolution.”

Attacking the Yokohama Police Reserve garrison, the police reserve’s background check was very loose, so there were many of their comrades inside.

Is that all? According to the information sent by comrades inside the police reserve, the handling of the police reserve is really open-ended.

When the police reserve joins the revolution, others will move too. Because there are not one or two people who are dissatisfied with the current system.

Soon, the flames of revolution will burn Japan.

“For the death of the Ancien Régime.”

“For the Revolution!”

“For the Revolution!”

“For the Revolution!”
