Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 333 >

– We will accept the mediation proposal, give up the Indochina colony, and join the European Economic Community.

The official declaration of surrender of the British and French Empire shook the world.

First, the borders between the German Empire and the Anglo-French Empire were partially readjusted, and there were changes such as recognizing the Russian ruble as the reserve currency.

But most importantly, the whole of Europe succumbed to Russia in this way.

It was the first reunification of Europe since the Roman Empire, which even Napoleon could not achieve in the end.

And it had a huge impact on Indochina.

“Long live independence!”

“Long live Indochina independence! Long live the German Empire! Long live the Russian Empire!”

“hurray!”

Cheers erupted from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and all the other countries that made up the Indochina Colonial Commonwealth, and marches followed.

It was not their strength, but they were victorious.

They have regained their freedom and are now able to build a state just for them.

And, for a while, it seemed to work really well.

***

The German Empire, somewhere west of Berlin.

“Accordingly, the following 16 persons are sentenced to death.”

A cold voice was heard.

Those arrested on charges of treason in a joint operation between the German and Russian forces were arrested throughout Germany.

Some of them were judged to be of a minor degree of involvement and were placed on the Stasi watch list, but those judged to have taken part above a certain level were brought to such places.

This place was also one of them.

There was the trial procedure itself, but there was no opportunity for pleading, only the facts of the charges, a brief listing of the evidence, and the judgment.

The charges were conspiracy to conspire against the state and conspiracy to revolt, and those brought here were of quite high status.

Of course, there were no protesters.

“Rebellion! What are we!”

“We just did our best for the German people!”

“I would have tried to bring this country back to its original state…”

“There is a lot of gossip. execute.”

It was the German military magistrate who sentenced them to death, but it was Russian Spetsnaz and Stasi agents belonging to the FSB who arrested and escorted them.

And, the one holding the pistol now, many of them knew a face.

“Anna Mikhailovna……”

A princess of the Russian Empire was standing with a pistol herself.

“You shouldn’t have offended your father, yes.”

“I can’t see you Slavs, the Huns, dominating Europe! How long did you think your power would last?”

“Yeah, it was absolutely impossible during my father’s lifetime, and I probably won’t be able to see the real heyday of the Russian Empire, right?”

The heyday was the most fortunate time, so her words were the confidence that the Russian Empire would develop even more in the future.

“And one thing to point out, I’m not Huns, half Germanic (the Romanovs are German dynasty), half of my descent from far east of where the Huns lived. If you call them Koreans, Koreans, Koreans, whatever you want, or Mongolians, you can call them distant relatives.”

“Two of you… Junker’s Eastern Colonization Movement is already over, and furthermore, Europe will never be the world’s protagonist again. Absolutely, your time is already over.”

Russia is actually a bit vague for Europe. A country that has built a unique identity that is neither Asia nor Europe. Therefore, Anna, rather, believed that their bloodline, which was a combination of the blood of a father from the edge of the East and a mother from the west of the empire, that of Romanov-Kim, was the proper bloodline to symbolize today’s Russia.

So proud of it.

After all, Europe will collapse. And on that corpse, two superpowers will move the world.

And, she was proud that one day one of them would collapse, and at the apex of that superpower that truly rules the world, those whose blood flows like her heart will stand.

So, the greatest mercy she could offer to those who struggled ugly and unable to accept their fate was to promise a less painful death.

“Kneel down.”

Tie your hands behind your back and kneel in front of the pit.

After all, they are just a remnant of the Nazis, and moreover, they are a group that even bought their father’s wrath.

“Your foolishness is what kills you, I am only the proper cause and effect.”

“f*ck… what the f*ck are you doing!”

I have no doubts about taking someone’s life.

The path was decided from the moment he volunteered to go into the shadows, without getting married by arrangement or making a lover by entering the social world.

The path she chose, the path she wanted.

To guard the immortal equestrian statue of one who rules a territory greater than Alexander, wise as Caesar, as great as Charlemagne, and surpasses Napoleon’s feat.

The shift of the world’s central axis of power is inevitable, and this is progress.

In the end, everything will be on the right track, with her a drop of lube and a piece of sandpaper to make the world a little less noisy as the world moves.

And they are melting. outdated What must disappear for inevitable progress.

-bang!

There is no such thing as hesitation.

A corpse falls to the floor.

Just to stay in power? not. It is the greatest power that has never existed in history, and if you let go of that power, it will inevitably lead to a greater tragedy.

The father perfectly retains that power, but the older brother does not.

no one can do that

Even the children who inherited his blood are only one step ahead of others, and it is no different that it is hard to look at his back, which he can see at first glance in a blizzard.

With power comes responsibility. The heirs of the great empire where the sun never sets have always struggled not to be crushed by the great authority they will inherit.

So, you have to let go of power. And to do that, you need a strong will.

It must be cold enough to destroy those who stand in its way.

Freedom without responsibility is indulgence. The people to whom power will be shared should feel the responsibility that comes with power. He who does not understand even freedom should not be given power.

The tool is moral. it is discrimination

Indeed, it is when you realize that you know nothing of your own that you are wise.

If even the people who do not understand it are sinners, who does not understand it and misses authority?

If you do not understand, obey rather than obey. Who refuses to even understand what he is like without obeying the authority to obey, not loyal to the monarch to whom he is to be loyal, not to the state to which he is to be loyal?

Obey the rules, man is supreme, but laws and institutions have power when he obeys them.

Therefore, human beings can overthrow wrong laws and wrong institutions, wrong authorities and wrong states. Human beings are the creators of all things from the very beginning, and have been superior to them.

Creatures are inevitably inferior to their creators.

And that’s why it’s so dangerous.

They think of it as a toy arrow, but it is a nuclear weapon.

Paying the price for that foolishness with blood, Anna never turned her head.

***

Humans have inertia.

those who do not have courage.

Those who cannot resist the system.

Some call it learned helplessness.

The gap between the state and individuals is so great that it is not something to be blamed for fearing to resist the public power of a state that can be destroyed if everyone disobeys it.

fear.

It arises because all humans cannot understand the depths of each other’s hearts.

Even though all human beings can reasonably correct their mistakes if they reasonably resist wrongdoing, they keep their mouths shut for fear that they will be disadvantaged by only shouting at themselves.

But such a system may be seemingly stable.

The threshold that human beings break and rise from inertia is greater than expected.

That is why man produces his countless tragedies for the sake of power. The essence of power is the monopoly of violence, and power comes from the gun barrel.

Therefore, countless human beings walk along the will of one madman, knowing that there is ruin at the end.

Even the subject who should have used the violence became helpless from fear. Because I think of myself as an individual, not as the subject of the violence.

It’s not a huge mistake, and it’s a part that can be replaced enough, but if those parts fail all at once, it’s quite possible that the entire system will collapse.

I am also using various means to prevent such a situation, but if the path I am taking is really wrong, it is my judgment that it will be the same without it.

So, if you obey an apparently wrong system.

It is also guilty of those who obey.

“your majesty.”

After Vasilebsky saluted, he opened his mouth.

“The People’s Republic of China has invaded the Commonwealth of Indochina.”

***

The Indochina Federation had several problems.

Restoration of the land once devastated…. That was a matter of a little later.

First of all, the Indochina Federation has almost no national and linguistic homogeneity except for geographical ties that united the Southeast Asian colonies owned by the British and French Empires, and there are also claims that this system itself is a follow-up to the colonial system and should be destroyed. There were many.

In other words, the dismantling was being discussed internally, and quite a few people agreed.

When they resisted the great powers of the Anglo-French Empire, they had to unite anyway, but now they have withdrawn.

And to them, the People’s Republic of China was a foreign power anyway.

It helped me a lot when fighting the British and French Empire, but that’s all, I’m on my way now.

However, Mao Zedong, who intervened in the pretext of support, slowly began to demand full-scale. Despite the demand for the return of the area that was originally Qing territory, which was incorporated into the French Indochina Government-General during the interwar period and World War II, Indochina never had a good view of China.

Historically, Vietnam has been invaded several times and has a history of fighting against China from generation to generation even when it comes to Vietnam. In addition, the Chinese were gradually trying to seize the economic power of Indochina, and the enraged citizens rioted and massacred the Chinese in the same way that a pogrom of Jews occurred.

In addition, the clearly independent Southeast Asian countries are likely to show a pro-Russian and pro-US stance, and the Mao Zedong regime, which had just failed in its attempt to overthrow the US, could not stand by.

Thus, Mao Zedong launched a military invasion into Indochina under the pretext of restoring the territory of the old Qing Dynasty and protecting the Chinese people.
