Rasputin of the East

Episode 8

“Special forces?”

“That’s right.”

“Is it different from Spetsnaz?”

“It’s a little different from Spetsnaz as a unit name, so there’s no need to tell them apart. Special Forces as a Division (Spetsnaz in Russian) means a force capable of performing special tasks that cannot be performed by ordinary soldiers, and the unit in charge of that task will be the Spetsnaz as a unit.”

“… First of all, how are they selected, and what duties should they be assigned? Let me clarify that first.”

“A mission like this, for example, starts with things like infiltrating a communications bureau behind an enemy front, installing and returning undetected wiretapping equipment, to assassinate key figures in an enemy country undetected that we are behind it, enemy railroads. B. Sabotage of munitions storage and military docks, enforced reconnaissance, rescue operations of South Korean personnel detained by the enemy, search and removal of treason forces, and safety through preemptive strikes against impurity intruders from other countries secure. They are all missions that cannot be performed by ordinary troops.”

“… So, is it a unit directly under Ohrana?”

“Yes, the activities of special forces are not essential to collecting accurate information. For this, it is desirable to cooperate with Ohrana, so it is more appropriate to reorganize Spetsnaz, which is already under Ohrana. The purpose of the creation is the same.”

“…that’s fine, but is this a necessary unit?”

“Your Majesty, don’t you know how thoroughly the wars and mobilization orders of today are based on a well-planned timetable, and it is their job to put a wedge between the cogs. It can change the whole game.”

“It would be great if it worked really well, but wouldn’t the odds of success be low?”

“Why don’t you try it yourself?”

“A test?”

“I will train the Spetsnaz crew, and with them I will infiltrate the imperial army from all over the world. Why not prove their usefulness through experiments?”

“It’s an experiment.”

“Our troops are training in case the enemy has attacked in a similar way, and as Spetsnaz, they prove their worth, so it is good for each other, Your Majesty.”

“Ummm…”

“If it is judged to be of no use, I will never bring this up again, please.”

“…do what you want.”

Having obtained the tsar’s permission, I left the courtroom and smiled.

From now on, both officers and enlisted soldiers, remain silent to the Russian Imperial Army who will suffer hell.

St. Petersburg, Russian Imperial Naval Base.

“These incompetent children!”

All sorts of things flew.

“Can’t you catch those who come with a bold notice? I knew you guys were incompetent, but this is beyond my imagination! Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me!”

The base commander was bubbling and running, but no one thought to stop him.

It was the work of Spetsnaz, who had been disturbing the Russian army for the past few months.

Immediately after receiving the tsar’s permission, he said that he had obtained the tsar’s permission and would train to leave a simulated bomb under the assumption of infiltrating and detonating major facilities in various parts of the Russian Empire. As they flew, the commanders of each unit were stunned.

However, the absurdity soon turned to hysteria by the fake bombs installed in each major unit. The officers in charge almost fainted on the spot when they saw an imitation high-explosive bomb, which was well molded and colored so that it had a similar texture, installed in an ammunition depot, munitions factory, or bridge with the fuse installed.

A harsh reprimand was followed. Fortunately, this was the training situation of the units under Ohrahana, but none of the soldiers had the ability to excuse themselves from the question of what would happen if the traitors used the same means.

Even though Spetsnaz, who was actually setting up bombs, who even notified where and where they were going to hit, reported directly to Ohrana, the military and the tsar, the military was disgruntled and went crazy. was about to throw it away.

However, they could not dare tackle the drills permitted by the tsar, so the generals had no choice but to stir-fry Aman’s men.

Even more worrisome was the fact that, let alone capturing the Spetsnaz, they had never succeeded in stopping the invasion.

Although the training and morale of the Russian army was quite low, this played a part.

Even in the case of some crew members infiltrating the food storage of the Imperial Palace and leaving a note, the Tsar, who reacts nervously to his own family, is in a situation where the food in the warehouse might have been contaminated with poisons in an actual situation. There was even an incident in which he directly rebuked Hae-i of the Guard’s discipline.

As a result, the interest and influence of the ‘Spetsnaz’ unit clearly increased, and the influence of its founder and current commander, Count Vostok, increased, but at the same time, it also received strong hostility.

Of course, since hostility was already felt on his skin, the person who committed the act with the mind of a judge was already feeling threatened, but he wondered what would change if he felt a little more threatened.

***

Primorsky Krai, the terminus of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

“Kim-san, is Kim also out?”

“Mr. Park is also here. Oh, Mr. Park, Mr. Park, have you heard anything? People who are just strong and don’t get tired easily would give me a few words of rice, so I thought they were trying to clear something by asking them to gather.”

“I don’t even know, I came here to give you some rice, so I’m really nervous…”

All the people who gathered, who seemed to be in the hundreds, were all Koreans.

People who are trying to get out of their ruined homeland and start a new life in Russia.

They did not have a sense of purpose, if so, was it the sense of responsibility of the head of the family to protect his family?

“Внимание! Внимание!”

At that time, the people who were talking about attracting attention as if to pay attention to the Russians who came by then began to murmur after a while.

There must have been a man who was escorted by the Russian army in clothes that looked good on his face.

No, at least they knew that there was going to be a person in charge, so it might not have been enough to make people murmuring, but what made the gathered people bewildered, no matter how you look at it, that man…

“Are you Korean?”

“Why are Koreans being escorted by the Maujae guys?”

“Oh, look at that kindness, what are you doing?”

“fist!”

The chattering ceased at the loud noise that was heard along with a thumping sound.

“Okay, can you hear me? I see, I will answer your question later, and I will tell you why I have now gathered those who are here, at the request of Prime Minister Pyotor Stolipin, Minister of the Interior of the Russian Empire, and the sanction of the Great Tsar, for the Empire among the subjects of the Russian Empire. We will select the most capable among those willing to serve and provide them with the opportunity to serve to protect the safety of the Empire.”

“What is it, military service?”

“Aww, you look like you’re being dragged around, flower girl, blame this father…”

“quiet!”

After the military police harassed a few times, the crowd became quiet.

“Spetsnaz, as its name suggests, only accepts applicants for special missions. The applicant’s family will be entitled to reside in large cities such as Moscow and Petrograd, and will be paid 1800 liters of rice or wheat a year. will be. It will be 10 seats by your standards. Please note that depending on your wishes, you may receive money.”

“What? 10 seats of rice?”

“Nonsense.”

At that time, one stone of rice was the food for an adult male for a year, and about six seats was the price of a thatched house, which was the reason why people gathered there could not help but panic. It means that even if you buy a house, your family of four will give you the remaining money every year to eat for one year.

“quiet! But not everyone here can get that. I’m here to see if you’re worth it, you have to take a physical fitness test, and many other tests are waiting for you. Only if you pass through all of these will you too be able to join this honorable position. If there is anyone you want to reject, get out now. I and Spetsnaz don’t need anyone unless they are loyal to them with all their might, so get out right now. I see people who are not concentrating even when they say this, you, you.”

When anyone pointed a finger roughly, I saw people flinching.

“If you want to take the test, follow me, again, I can’t accept everything, and I have no intention of doing so. So, if you want to go out, just disappear.”

“Oh, no! lily!”

“You can do it! Let me take the test! be well!”

The nari, the chief commander, and whatever it was, picked up the horses and clamored for people to take the test.

In fact, grain is expensive here too. In Europe, Russia is very cheap, because Russia is not famous for being a grain exporter for nothing.

The famous Russian grain production was crushed very creatively by Khrushchev and others during the Soviet era, and the Soviet Union had to hang on to the grains exported by the United States. He was able to recover only to some extent after carrying out extensive structural improvement following the policy.

In other words, for those who were born in Joseon, it is a huge amount of money in terms of the imperial budget. Shipping cost is a bit of a problem, but it doesn’t mean much because I won’t leave it here once it’s officially hired anyway.

“Then let’s go to the training ground!”

***

“The military song begins!”

“The apple blossoms and pears are blooming, the clouds are flowing over the river!”

“Ugh… I’m going to freeze to death…”

“Hold on a minute, after this is over, it’s lunch.”

“Because there is meat for lunch, be patient. I have a chance to succeed in the life of a slasher who is not even a dog, but if you are a bastard who knows grace, you have to be patient.”

“Come out with those people who talk there! Put your head on the floor, put your arms behind your back, and go to the sky!”

The two were startled by the sound of the wooden sticks hitting the floor, and they had to take a bombardment stance.

“In that state, repeat the firearms first aid method trained today! practice!”

“Uh… uh…”

“Give me five seconds! 5! 4! 3! 2! One! These bastards… Get up!”

Military officer Maujae, who speaks strangely good Korean, with a skull in his red hat, shouted.

“The main building is really disappointed with you guys! Is firearm first aid complicated? Not like that! If you don’t even learn how to disassemble the submachine gun properly, you can’t perform any mission! I got caught in a cartridge case, so I’m going to die while disassembling and assembling the gun leisurely!”

“no!”

“no? Is this outside or not?”

“A drop of sweat in training is a drop of blood on the battlefield! Don’t you know that a drop of our blood is worth more than the blood of a common soldier! It’s cold! Then let me warm you up! Back to bed!”
