Rasputin of the East

Republic of Korea.

Korea is a country with many unique features.

In the Republic of Korea, which was liberated during World War II by the hands of the Russian Imperial Army, a sea of blood flowed even before the establishment of a formal government.

The Korean government, launched by calling for the execution of co-workers, mercilessly executed all those who were found to have cooperated with the Japanese Empire.

Of course, the genocide that Japan carried out on the Korean Peninsula was severe, and when the genocide reached its climax, it was foreseen from the time they came to power because the government of the Republic of Korea in exile in Russia was the main focus of those who fled to Russia. Among the factors, there were very few people whose family was not killed.

However, this sea of blood was so severe that even the independence activists who later returned to Korea and the independence activists who were in Korea objected. However, factors in the new government of the Republic of Korea were outraged, saying that even those who devoted their lives to the independence movement might be accused of collaborating with them.

Armed with the logic that there is nothing to fear if there is no sin, the Korean government literally killed, killed, and killed.

In the madness, some newspapers published editorials calling for an end to the massacre. At first, among the citizens who cheered for a fair treatment, people started to grow tired of this sea of blood.

– You must stop killing now. Killing all of them even if they were co-workers is too much. We are not suggesting pardoning them, we are proposing to suspend their execution.

But the firing squad did not stop. Well, it was a little diversified. They were executed only by hanging and firing, but later beheadings and even burning were mobilized.

Tired of the madness, the people had high hopes for the Provisional Government members who had just returned from the United States, and they won sizable seats despite internal divisions.

However, due to the internal division, a coalition cabinet could be established, but a president was produced, but the ruling party did not take away the position due to a disagreement of opinion.

Meanwhile, a purge against the Communist Party took place. Some say it was fabricated, some say it wasn’t, but immediately after that, the People’s Republic of China revealed its true nature, and there were many views that it was justified because of the successive communist revolution events in western Japan.

Apart from that, Korea’s economy was somehow growing steadily. Korea, which experienced rapid economic growth through rapid economic growth, showed explosive economic growth in the early stages, recording temporary growth of around 15%.

Korea, which has reinvested in economic development, especially heavy and chemical industry, to the last drop of technological support and financial support received from the United States at the cost of the technology it had rapidly accumulated and intervening in the civil war in West Japan, entered the competition with the world in earnest. It was achieving considerable success.

“Well, compared to the quality, things are cheap. If you need anything, you’d be better off buying it here, except for weapons.”

The American man chewing gum said so and looked around.

“The river is very wide.”

The British man who looked at the Han River opened his mouth.

“It’s amazing that almost everyone can speak English.”

“People here can speak both English and Russian at most, but since it is a country sandwiched between two countries, it is similar to how Switzerland used to speak German, French, and Italian.”

One of them, a man called Ink, answered that, and he nodded and took the chocolate he had bought from the store in his mouth.

Should the past and the future coexist? All the shantytowns have already been pushed out or disappeared, and high-rise buildings and chicken coop-like apartments are filling their positions.

“It’s like a chicken coop.”

“I know because I’ve lived in this neighborhood, but house prices are high in this neighborhood, but real estate sales are strict, so unless it’s an apartment like that, I can’t pick up the money from a building standpoint. It’s a good country to invest in, but it’s better to look elsewhere for real estate.”

“That’s a Russian subordinate state.”

“That’s why you buy a lot of overseas real estate, don’t you?”

Russia also has a history of maintaining the country by barely succeeding in land reform while the military, intelligence agencies, government, etc. actually saw blood, and it is allergic to real estate speculation, etc. I had a sexual reaction. The newly-affected countries were evaluated as an environment in which it was difficult for a real estate bubble to occur, as all of the new countries that were heavily influenced by the real estate investment themselves caught on and strictly cracked down on them.

Well, I wonder if the FSB can go to the bathroom without noticing the government in a surveillance empire where economic and economic collusion and corruption of corporations and banks are all over the place.

“Didn’t you say that the weapon was provided by the client?”

“right. And they told me to find a hideout that I will use only until I have the stuff. A safe house to move to after securing the goods was prepared by the client. Well, I can’t take a break from going there.”

The contract is to disassemble the stolen items from the safe house, protect the safe house until other engineers who have received the client’s instructions obtain the data the client really wants from the inside, and take the item to a designated place.

“10% of the starting fee and 50% of the down payment, there aren’t many clients who are this generous, but……”

At the same time, giving up the quest meant that living comfortably would mean giving up.

Their client is at least prepared for the intelligence department of a significant power, to cut tails in case of emergency, and in the event of failure, the relationship between them will be absolutely denied. In fact, the client never showed up in person. They all had that kind of insight.

‘It must be one of the US and Russia.’

Given that there are no Russians here, there is a high probability that it is not Russia.

“After finding a safe house, you have free time until you receive a weapon. You know, be prepared.”

“Attack the Republic of China, advance north.”

At Mao’s words, the party’s Central Politburo meeting room froze coldly.

“Comrade commentary. I haven’t been able to punish the Indochina people enough yet……”

“It’s your military’s fault! Why haven’t you dropped Hanoi yet!”

“……”

Actually dropping it was weird. The navy and air force are so disastrous that they are annihilated with almost no loss even if only the Korean army comes forward without the Russian army. can you win

However, due to the fatigue of many people and internal problems in Indochina, it was only an optical illusion that the front seemed to be maintained or advancing, but Mao Zedong did not know that.

Because those who knew the truth were reluctant to open their mouths.

“If you want to destroy North Korea (North China = Republic of China), now is your chance! They are going to be ruined by civil war, and as long as we push in now, victory is ours!”

“But Comrade Mao, what will Russia do?”

“What?”

“If the Russian Imperial Army advances south… What will you do then?”

If you are subjected to a nuclear attack and the Russian army advances south, you cannot stop it. It was a self-evident story.

More seriously, there was no guarantee that South Korea would stop it even if it crossed the West Sea into an amphibious war.

“…… Zhou Enlai.”

“Yes, comrade.”

“Is there any movement of the Russian army?”

Prime Minister Zhou Enlai, ‘the president’s representative’, shook his head.

“There are no special trends in the Russian army. The Tibetan side is conducting joint military exercises with Tibet, but this is the same scale and same manner as in previous years, and there is no sign of an invasion. However, the peculiar thing is that the communication volume from the Far East Gun-gu area is increasing.”

An increase in traffic is also seen as a harbinger of military action.

“Where?”

“There is an abnormal increase in traffic in the direction of Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. It is doubtful that the Russian Empire is preparing to intervene…”

“America?”

“Yes?”

“Can we not use the contradiction between the US and Russia?”

It was a strange use of the word contradiction, but in any case the US could play a role in holding Russia from taking any military action.

“Kennedy just passed away. The United States is still in chaos, and it will be difficult to take external action.”

“So, you mean that North Korea is impossible? If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for a thousand years…”

“Available.”

Zhou Enlai clenched his teeth and answered. I could feel the taste of blood in my mouth.

“If we attack Beijing like a lightning strike from land and land, we take Beijing. Russia will also collapse if it fails to intervene in time. In addition, the people of the north are looking for the leadership of Comrade Mao, which is the general military law, the national status, and the military charge (the best way is to perfect the enemy country in how to use the soldiers, and to destroy the country is the next best thing). ), military designation, and approval payment (quickness is the key to clearing up a war, so we aim for a time when the enemy cannot advance in a hurry).”

He knew what he was saying was sophistry, but somehow it didn’t matter now.

“So, a quick strike is promising.”

Then Mao Zedong laughed out loud.

“okay! After all, Comrade Zhou Enlai!”

After a while, party officials who had left the president’s office hurriedly joined Zhou Enlai.

“Comrade, what the hell are you going to do with your follow-up?”

“…I can’t do it. If you fail anyway, you die this way, you die that way, and it’s the same, so what’s the difference between just dying and struggling to live?”

If you fail, you die.

Death even if it does not live up to the expectations of the tin.

If you succeed, you can live without losing power.

So, if you don’t do it and you die if you fail, shouldn’t you just try with the slightest expectation of success?

Because his position was already so concentrated that he had to consider only the benefits of success, not the possibility of success.

“And Comrade President Comrade’s advice is correct. If it is not now, the opportunity for the North Expedition will probably not come in the future. The people want our liberation, and they are divided and have lost most of their fighting power. I am doing it.”

“As long as the US and Russia do not intervene, you are right, but what are you going to do with that?”

“… How about handing over the entire Shandong Peninsula to Russia and giving the US several interests in Hong Kong? Or even make the period permanent.”

“That’s not going to stop me from intervening.”

“I have no intention of stopping, we have to take it quickly before we block it, and then we have to negotiate. As I said, we desperately need naval support, Admiral Chang, how can a surprise strike seem possible?”

“Absolutely impossible.”

The answer came right away.

“The Russian military maintains surface-to-ship missile launchers and radars in Weihai and Dalian, and Balhae Bay is the front yard of the Russian Navy. It would be better to move the Red Guards.”

“The Red Guards are not under our control, we should ask for Comrade Mao’s speech…”

The Communist Party members had a conversation, but even in their eyes, hope had already disappeared.
