Rasputin of the East

＜ Gaiden: Reminiscence (2) >

“hey.”

“why.”

“I know it’s ridiculous to ask you because of your job, but have you seen people die?”

“……”

“There is no news there. In Korea, if 50 people die in an accident or whatever, there is a special bonus. The joint incense burner is installed. The prime minister goes. The president goes, right? He’s not a strong man, and if there are 50 people, including women and children, the whole country is turned upside down and a special law is enacted to punish those responsible.

“……”

“Did you say our team went to Shanghai? There is still some order in Shanghai, there is no public authority, but there are shops, there are warlords, and with the consent of the warlords, we can run a business.

“By the way?”

“There is nothing like going inland even a little bit. I went inland with the car the Shanghai warlord gave me and the guards, and there were bodies scattered along the roadside. I saw about 50 corpses that day. Of course I couldn’t.”

“……”

“Everyone has just died, and you can tell just by looking at them, because the blood hasn’t even thickened, and the escorts say that they seem to have died after being caught up in a fight between small and medium warlords, damn it.”

With that said, I had a lot to say.

What I saw was how many ships of those 50 people.

That there is more blood from everyone who came to life because they died that way than the blood of everyone who lived where you saw and came from.

Now, the world that could not remember except me was engulfed in chaos.

The gunfire in Europe stopped, but the threat in the Far East grew.

After the devastating defeat in Ukraine, Russia was virtually in the hands of China. China took full advantage of Russia’s urgent situation as it was subjected to strong sanctions around the world, devoured Russia to the bone and subordinated it, and North Korea was in the hands of China in the first place.

However, China was not as good as it was.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, anti-government movements are more severe than ever. Of course, from the perspective of the Chinese Communist Party, from a macro perspective, the current backlash was not sufficiently suppressed.

In the end, if the Russian invasion of Ukraine succeeded, the Communist Party planned to invade and annex Taiwan, quieting both the inside and the outside.

Above all, it was the decisive blow to the ears of the Chinese leadership that intelligence was trying to make the last move as the Shanghai room, which had been falling behind by the Prince’s Party, was in a corner.

But this was clearly thwarted. The Russian army was forced to retreat after vomiting up even the Crimean Peninsula, which had been annexed at best, in a battle beyond imagination, and China made Russia economically subordinate to shaky Russia.

Nevertheless, the dictator with dementia was still in place, and the Western world lifted the toast.

But that false peace did not last long.

The firing of World War III began only three years after gunfire stopped in Ukraine.

After invading South Korea, the Korean People’s Army was ripped apart very neatly in just three days by the South Korean army supported by the US military, and the nuclear facility that North Korea was proud of was destroyed by the US military with stealth planes right after the war broke out. When South Korea crossed the armistice and started advancing northward, the Chinese government immediately intervened, demanding that they evacuate from North Korean territory.

However, just as the acknowledgment of Russia’s request in Ukraine already led to the Ukraine war, China’s demand for eviction from North Korea and unconditional return to pre-war conditions was another request for the handover of Crimea, and the South Korean side fiercely opposed it. It didn’t make sense for the US to leave it alone, so the North march was forced.

and.

North Korean leaders have sought asylum. It was cowardly.

Cowards who start a war and run away because they do not want to take responsibility.

We went to condemn them.

– It’s a sniper!

However, we were not the only ones who secured the exit point and rushed to it.

Chinese People’s Liberation Army Special Forces.

In fighting with them, our company literally lost the majority of its forces and almost died. Instead, he could condemn the bastards who had driven half the country to hell for decades.

with our hands.

by my hand.

I know they don’t exist now, but the thought of those days still makes my hands tremble.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“…….. just.”

I was hit by Strella, barely opening my eyes from the blazing flames of a US helicopter that crashed with half of our company.

“I was thinking for a moment.”

“You didn’t look good for that, but where are you hurting?”

“Nope.”

I closed my eyes and poked my fork.

And soon after, they all died.

There were very few people who survived that hell.

As the war escalated in earnest, the Chinese army was astonished that most of its conventional forces, including its naval and air forces, had collapsed. Annihilated by the 7th Fleet, the Far East Military District was inoperable. The Russian army, which had been raking troops from Europe to repair the damage in the Far Eastern Military District, but could not even recover the damage from the Ukrainian War, was overwhelmed by the firepower battle fought by the US military, which had been scraping the elite units that had accumulated practical experience by shoveling all kinds of shovels in the Middle East. suffered and was defeated.

Pyongyang, which had been guarded by the Chinese military on behalf of the North Korean army, was defeated in an armored battle and was besieged after being besieged in a city battle, and the US military advanced as far as Vladivostok and reached the point of dropping shells on Chinese territory. They played a game of chicken, and after the war broke out, the U.S. Congress, which was dominated by the hardliners of the masses, opposed it, saying that it would deploy tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea.

It was China that fell in this chicken game. The elders in Shanghai, who were on the verge of annihilation after being pushed out by Xi Jinping’s Princes Party, and the Communist Party, which were slowly starting to break apart as Xi Jinping sought lifelong rule, joined hands to launch a coup and negotiate with the United States.

However, this coup was not successful. Xi Jinping was well prepared for a coup d’état, and if it had remained, the Communist Party and the Shanghai room would have all been shattered.

Unless Xi Jinping himself was accidentally killed by the coup d’état. Of course, the coup d’etat force was in a position where it was necessary to capture Xi Jinping, so it was not a good thing for the coup army, but in the end, the early recovery was lost.

The situation quickly turned into a civil war, and the Russian State Guard and the FSB revolted against the fact that the U.S. military came all the way to Vladivostok because it could not be swayed by China because it failed in Ukraine. The war had reached a point where it was impossible to continue.

Nevertheless, the Chinese government, which is actually leading the war, had no intention of going to the negotiating table in the form of giving up everything regardless of the coup d’état and government forces, and launched a tactical nuclear launch against the South Korean forces in the Sinuiju area.

Of course, the South Korean army was hit, but the Americans exploded in anger when about one battalion of American troops were also damaged, and according to the president’s order, a low-yield nuclear warhead was also loaded onto a hypersonic cruise missile at the Chinese naval base in Qingdao, creating a mushroom cloud. .

There my thoughts were cut off.

After that, I didn’t want to remember much. Annihilation was avoided, but the post-war world was not a very good world to live in.

‘I’d rather this age is 20 times better.’

It was sincere.

As a result of the war, the world economy was in a mess, and a global economic crisis followed.

Above all, the war that ended in a haphazard manner clearly foretold the next war.

They have not yet given up on the war.

And I myself couldn’t forgive them.

Even the losers hate those who win, and the victors feel that what they have gained is too little compared to what they lost. A grudge biting its tail and wrath piling up, even the most stupid knew.

The next war is just around the corner.

And that there will be more blood in that war than all the previous wars combined.

All true.

That I pushed them to hell.

And that they fell to hell and saved the rest.

From a utilitarian point of view, I acted rationally, but it was also inconvenient to hear the consequences of my actions.

The bowl in front of me had long since been emptied, and there was an uncomfortable silence for a while while dessert was served.

I kept pushing food into my mouth. It wasn’t because I was hungry or because I liked the taste.

Just because you don’t have to talk when you’re eating something.

The nuclear weapons that burned all key locations across Asia with nuclear flames belonged to the United States, and the Russian military seized the code and triggered it.

And they used this to oust the United States from Asia semi-permanently.

and.

There’s blood on my hands.

Blood that I can’t even count on.

It was clearly the US military that deployed the nukes, and the US administration was trying to detonate them.

But in the end, I was the one who made it happen in reality.

war criminal? Those words are not enough.

In the end, for my own sake, I threw hundreds of millions of humans into hellfire. Well, a slayer more than me could be like Hitler or Mao Zedong in WWII. Even so, it is possible only under the assumption that Hitler is fully responsible for the Second World War.

Nevertheless, I am respected. Hundreds of my statues have been erected all over Eurasia.

Equestrian, full body, bust.

Moscow Airport is Mikhail Nikolaevich Kim Airport, and in Moscow’s Red Square, where Lenin’s Mausoleum is located, there is a statue of my equestrian.

Even though Lenin eventually killed hundreds of millions of people, would it be similar to being respected as a revolutionary?

If you kill one person, you are a murderer, but if you kill a million people, you are a hero.

A single general achieves merit, accumulating 100,000 human bones.

Every foot I walked was covered in blood.

Irina told me that I don’t have to bear all the blood of the twentieth century alone. she said too It’s Russia’s sin, and it’s hers too, so the crime I committed to save her is justified by her.

Like Pilate, I washed my hands.

That sin will be borne forever by Irina and her children and the Russian Empire itself.

However, just because the blood on my hands is washed doesn’t mean I’m completely innocent.

Because there is a judge who can never escape or escape.

A judge who is not God, but myself,

It is the judge of conscience.

‘Is it atonement?’

Or is it an escape?

I don’t know which side I decided to go to Mars.

Perhaps that will depend on my future actions.
