“No, it’s not like that…”

“Yeah, you probably wouldn’t.”

Irina opened her axe eyes and looked at me.

“I mean, I mean… No, in the first place, that kind of girl isn’t my thing, is it? I had a reason to contact you!”

“What is the reason?”

“That… do you know what the situation is now? There was a need for informal contact with the German side.”

“What does that have to do with that woman?”

“Rx4.”

“……?”

“Didn’t you see the name in the anti-espionage Rx4 file?”

“…are you a German spy?”

“It’s a woman who was hired by the German side last year. I think we’re reporting all the conversations we’ve had, we’re just trying to make the information more clear.”

“I knew.”

Irina’s cold wind blowing voice said that she didn’t understand it at all, but once she turned her head quickly, Irina started walking in stride.

No, rather than that, why did I become like an excuse?

“More than that, he said there was an urgent report earlier than that.”

“…..ah.”

Irina realized that she had forgotten something important while running on the road after the tap suddenly turned around and covered her face with her hand.

“sorry. Chutae…”

“Okay, what is it?”

“……Something happened on the mainland.”

“What happened?”

“It appears that there is a widespread public opinion on salt farms on the mainland.”

“…does it make sense?”

“Actually, it’s more of a criticism than a salt farm opinion…. to our allies.”

“ah.”

Throughout the war, both Britain and France were shoveling.

In other words, it’s not that they don’t fight because they don’t want to fight. that you can think like this.

“…well, not bad news.”

Rather, a diplomatic pressure card was added. France is on our side, so we can use it to pressure Britain.

‘What did you guys do until the public opinion on the salt farm strengthened like this? If it’s like this, we’ll strengthen ourselves and get out!’

I think it’s possible.

“But is it really possible to strengthen alone?”

“why?”

“I was just curious.”

I don’t have the confidence to report yet. Irina, having made that decision, waited for her superior’s answer.

“You could say it’s the stupidest thing we can do…. First, overthrow is inevitable in Britain and France, and it will be the most suitable environment for an extremist regime to take root, whether from the extreme left or the far right. And we will not succeed either. France and Britain will somehow retaliate, so economic collapse will come and post-war reconstruction will be difficult, and furthermore, it is inevitable that the communist rebellion will expand to the level of civil war, so we have no choice but to issue the White Night situation mentioned earlier. .”

This is an operation that is triggered when a white night or red-white civil war is unavoidable. The Moscow headquarters was also destroyed in that situation, and after carrying out a major destruction operation, the plan was to move to Samar to prepare for a long-term war.

Originally, it was assumed that the February Revolution took place…

“If we could give all the people three meals a day instead of black bread, oatmeal, and corn porridge, we wouldn’t have to worry about such a thing.”

“Are you talking about a feat that no other tsar has ever accomplished? If that is possible, the Count will surely be canonized. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a seat next to him too?”

“Well, since I am my second lieutenant, if I am canonized, I will speak well to the apostle Peter (Peter).”

Formally, the chief of staff is the second-in-command in the unit, but chief of staff Kim In-su does not have much influence in the internal affairs force.

Rather, the closest thing to the real number two is Irina, who has no direct rank in the military at least and only has the title of my secretary.

“Originally, the plan was to plunder China after the war is over.”

“Even if all the Chinese are starved to death, if the national system is like that, white bread with butter for the lower class is a dream in a dream.”

“Yeah, it should be accompanied by reform.”

I sighed.

“You cannot kill all the nobles. It would have been easier if I had been in a position to start a revolution, but, as everyone says, I am the Tsar’s dog.”

“It’s the bullshit of people who only talk about dog food.”

“Anyway, even if we carry out Operation Twilight, we can only get rid of some of the most stumbling blocks, but the purge of all the nobles is unreasonable. In the end, if you want to distribute the land, the only answer is distribution after the confiscation of the land.

“It depends on how much money you get from Germany.”

“That’s right, free distribution is the most effective, but the national treasury won’t support it.”

“Besides, the Count does not know the sense of disparity between the central and local areas. Some businesses don’t have a choice, and you have to hold on to it for a few decades. Even if you and I spend our whole lives, we may not succeed.”

Transportation infrastructure, production infrastructure, logistics infrastructure. everything is lacking No matter how you secure the labor force, if the manufactured goods do not move to the consumption area, it is a waste of time. However, there are several aortas, including the Siberian Railway, so they are maintained.

“Irina, what would it be like if imports and exports became impossible in this situation?”

“Is it a maritime blockade? if not…….”

“Imagine a major economic crisis, 15 years in plenty.”

Now is 1916, the Great Depression is 1929.

Of course, I don’t know what the butterfly effect might have been because of what I did, but…

“Even if it takes 20 years, the result is the same, there will be mass protests and rebellions, and finally civil war will erupt. On the contrary, if it explodes immediately after this, the damage will be less, but 15 years… is too much time for the glory of victory to fade.”

“…After that, I really hoped that Operation White Night would have nothing to do with it.”

“To do that, the Count should have been born ten years earlier. Knowing that, why did you come so late?”

“Hey, is it because I want to be like this now?”

“Okay, prepare a visit to Renault tomorrow. With Renault aircraft engines, our aircraft will also be able to make great strides.”

“Is that for a fighter or a bomber?”

“Is the distinction meaningful?”

“It is.”

Although Ilya Murometsu alone has enough bomber power, there is a sense that the power of fighters to escort the bombers is lacking.

“Rather than that, I wish a machine gun would come out sooner rather than later.”

“The last time I saw Dr. Tokarev before coming here was ten years old.”

“Squeeze more. If a better performing light machine gun comes out, at least one more person will live.”

It’s not that I’m asking for much, it’s just about the performance of the MG34…. Is that too much? Anyway, if you’re a genius, you can hope to make a machine gun that can perform like that. Do you want me to overdo it?

He also told me about ROC, detailed structure, and various new concepts, but he said he was a genius and couldn’t make it? When I was dispatched to the Middle East, I picked up one and opened it up as much as I could, and went through those books for the first time in a really long time – books that were unnecessary or too dangerous just memorized the contents and burned them, but there are still a few pages with pictures or other less The contents that were memorized and valuable are still alive. I’m thinking of disposing of it when it’s not worth it – I found data and gave money, but they’re still struggling. Will it come out before the war is over?

The material quality of World War I and World War II does not seem to be much different, so it is incomplete, but I also drew a blueprint, but if the worn-out yangban cannot make it, it may be a problem of processing precision.

Whether or not Tokarev’s curse, which confirmed overtime work at one time of my order, flew from St. Petersburg to Paris, I hurried my steps and finally found the dormitory.

Currently, we are staying at the Le Morris Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in downtown Paris. In England, we would have stayed in a palace, but we can’t sleep in the French Presidential Palace or the Houses of the Senate.

Opened in 1815, it is also the world’s first luxury hotel. In any case, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is currently the best hotel available in France.

But why is the direction a bit strange?

“Hey, isn’t my room this way?”

“Yes, no. Follow me quietly. There are places you need to go.”

It was only then that I realized that Irina had not yet resolved her anger at Irina’s voice, which was full of blades.

Renault, Paris, France.

“Hmm, 200 horsepower.”

“The most powerful engine currently available in France.”

It is inferior to that of a 21st century automobile engine. Of course, there is a 700 horsepower class for the 12-cylinder class supercar engine, so comparison is not possible in the first place.

Even in World War II, the old bridges that had fighter propulsion in the early days of the war shot 800 horsepower as a standard, thrust pigs like Thunderbolt shot 2600 horsepower, and the B-29 recorded 2200 horsepower, and the Zero Sendo recorded a maximum of 1000 horsepower. Considering that, it was a disappointing figure.

Of course, it is true that I was only greedy in World War I, and this engine is a hit in this age.

“Just in case, can you make a stronger engine?”

“How much do you want?”

“About 800-900 horsepower…”

“Yes?”

“Is it difficult?”

“I’m sorry, sir, didn’t you want an engine for an aircraft or tank?”

“It is.”

“I’ll say it clearly, but it’s absolutely unreasonable if it’s not something like an engine for a warship. You asked for 800 horsepower with a single engine, but with current technology, even if you make such an engine, the weight and size of an aircraft would not be able to withstand it.”

“Twitter, I see.”

I tried to stab it just in case, but it seems to be unreasonable. I mean, I’m asking too much to go beyond 20 years. Cell phones are outdated after 20 years.

“I will make a contract.”

Still, there are a lot of aircraft and vehicles that require high-power engines, and in this era, it is not easy to make a better engine, so there was no option in the first place.

In the field of personal firearms, the difference in technological level between World War I and World War II is sufficient to overcome the challenge, but in the field of tanks and aircraft, the story is completely different.

‘Can we get a better engine in Germany?’

Well, I’ll have to win the war or do something to save it, so I’m writing this for now.

Since the standard is World War II, I have only raised my eyes unnecessarily. The Ford T-Type that is still in production is 20 horsepower, but if it is 200 horsepower, you should be grateful and receive it.

“You look tired, Count. Where’s the problem?”

“No, I was just thinking a lot.”

“You must have stayed up all night last night. Shall we cancel the schedule after that?”

“It’s okay, I don’t know if it’s Russia, but this is France. It is disrespectful to cancel the schedule on the same day.”

“All right.”
