Rasputin of the East

22

The meeting at the Summer Palace showed no sign of ending.

“Being on the offensive is in favor, but be careful! What are we going to do if we say our troops will support communications security at the very least, or that our troops will support a less-completed unit?”

“The Internal Affairs Force is not part of ours. As you said last time, we are concerned about a communist rebellion, so focus on stability behind the scenes. If you all go to the front line, who will protect the rear?”

“Then I will support the telecommunication team.”

Please write a password, you bastards! Don’t give orders in plaintext!

“I will refuse, I don’t want to burden you.”

Oh, those f*cking bastards are real.

I could only say that it was okay because I liked the words, that I just didn’t believe it, or that I didn’t want to give room to intervene in the first place.

Not wanting to use the code that was used in Caesar’s days doesn’t mean that the French army in World War II is giving orders by communication, so it’s not like they’re saying that they have to complete the form and issue orders through messengers…

‘That’s why we say that our main enemy is an executive.’

The name Shit-byeol is not worth the name for those bastards.

‘Tannenberg is giving up. There is no answer without purging all these bastards.’

Stalin was right. Seriously, those bastards should shoot a nagant revolver in the back of the head or cut a tree in the Siberian Gulag.

In the end, I kept my mouth shut whether or not the discussion went unintentionally.

“I have one more agenda.”

“Something?”

Military personnel frowned openly, and other people’s eyes focused on me.

“This is before the Supreme Command. I think St. Petersburg is too vulnerable to a German surprise attack.”

“Abandon the capital!”

“Sounds nonsense!”

Immediately, military personnel shouted and protested.

No, do you want to protest because it’s just my agenda? Of course, that might be because the fact that the capital is threatened means that they are failing.

“Then, Grand Duke of Cyril, I would like to ask you. Can the Baltic Fleet be victorious against the Kaiser Marine and the Daehan Fleet of the German Empire?”

“… depending on the location…”

“Can you defend St. Petersburg from the Ocean Fleet? I’d appreciate it if you could give me a short answer because I don’t have time.”

what would be obvious

dead and not waking up The newest battleship of the Russian Empire, the hot battleship that was just released this year, is a dreadnought ship, Gangut-class, armed with 12-inch 12-guns.

The Imperatrica Maria-class battleship with equal firepower and the 14-inch Izmail-class battleship are expected to be commissioned only next year. Even if you are commissioned, there is no guarantee that you will gain the upper hand.

The opponent is the world’s second-largest surface fleet, the German Empire’s ocean fleet, whose opponents are only those of the British Navy.

Aside from crew proficiency, even the outdated Kaiser class and König class have only a slight advantage over the Gangut class and the Imperatrica Maria class with 10 12-inch doors. If you go to the 15-inch-class battleships that will be commissioned in 1916, the Bavaria-class, the Izmail-class will also be crushed by firepower.

I’m behind in numbers and I’m behind in proficiency. In a situation where the fleet is also dispersed and cannot be taken carelessly, when the German Imperial Navy asks if it can prevent the accidental bombardment of St. Petersburg, the navy has no choice but to answer. It is true that there is a coastal battery, but that alone is insecure.

“Can the Great Sea Fleet come this far through the British Navy?”

“There is nothing absolute in this world. Britain has a lot to defend, but Germany isn’t. I’m sure you’re not unaware of the benefits of concentrating your forces.”

Of course, that statement is correct. In fact, it didn’t happen until the end of the war for the Daehan Fleet to fire shells at St. Petersburg. Rather, shells were dropped during the Russian Revolution.

But all I want is the cause of heaven.

“Your Majesty, I think it would be good for the imperial family and key ministers to stay in Moscow, even for the duration of the war. When St. Petersburg is attacked by sea, it is out of control.”

The decisive factor is the Baltic Fleet.

I couldn’t trust the Baltic Fleet. Archduke Cyril is in control of the Baltic Fleet? So what does that matter? Wouldn’t you die if a bullet went into the back of your head as Archduke Cyril?

Who guarantees that the navy won’t revolt and burn St. Petersburg?

‘And it’s much easier to escape the various assets.’

It is possible to protect the main rail network by mobilizing the internal military force. Moreover, since the assets have already been classified to escape once, the number of trials and errors is greatly reduced.

Whether they thought I had a point, or some of his factions, some generals began to agree to make Moscow their wartime capital.

Of course, there were many people who opposed it, saying that it could instil the perception that the tsar abandoned the capital and fled, and eventually the relocation of the capital was officially announced and closed at the next meeting.

Volga Military District. Samara base.

The main garrison of the Interior Army is to the east.

In terms of facilities where large-scale division-level bases were built, they are Samara, Novgord, the suburbs of Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Mount Nardonaya, and Vladivostok.

There is also a base in Khabarovsk… but it’s more of a castle than a base.

Nicholas II gave me a present and he built a castle like Hearst Castle and gave it to my personal estate, so the name is Vostok Castle. The funny thing is that only about a third of it has been built, and it hasn’t even been completed.

Since World War I broke out, I wonder if it can be completed…. No, whoever came up with the idea of building a castle that has never been requested as a real estate? The emperor himself or someone else.

Anyway, it is also being used as a base for the internal military. To be more precise, it is a storage for supplies or a weapon testing site, and it is there that they do work that is difficult to stand out from others.

In addition, there are small bases in Kazan, Novgorod, Volgograd, Saratov, etc.

In any case, the Samara base is one of three backup bases that can function perfectly as the Rubyka Headquarters in Moscow to serve as a command post in case of emergency.

The other two are bases located in Vladivostok and Nardonaya in the Urals. There are two bases in Yekaterinburg and Khabarovsk that can provide incomplete backups.

Although these are military bases prepared for long-term warfare, it is ridiculous that I do not think that this alone will be sufficient.

‘No, in the first place, a military solution alone is not the answer, so it is a problem.’

For a fundamental solution to this situation, the Russian Empire must be overthrown. have to have surgery

If you think about it, I originally entered the court as a court doctor and started my career. So what I’m thinking about is, in a way, it’s like going back to my main job.

Public opinion against the Romanov dynasty and the nobility is bottoming out, and the agricultural and commercial structure has improved a little because of Stolipin’s hard work, but it is still backward compared to Europe, and they are gangsters who come out endlessly even though I caught them to death.

And in conclusion, this major surgery should ultimately result in the removal of the tumor mass.

If your arm rots, you have to cut it off before you can’t use it.

If Nicholas II was willing, I would do amputations for the country of Russia and make prosthetic limbs and prostheses—probably half Stolipin—but Nicholas II is indecisive and unwilling to do so. to be.

Rather, he would have been a decent person if he was just the uncle next door and the head of the family, but not the emperor’s lumberjack.

‘The only sustainable way to stop revolution from below is reform from above.’

Of course, the amputation will be very painful. Because there is still no anesthetic to anesthetize the empire of Russia. But isn’t it better than dying?

‘Of course, it is impossible to perform such a major operation during a war, so it is best to somehow increase my voice during World War I and end the war early so that the operation begins before the revolution occurs. Until then, the best thing is to hold out the revolution without breaking it, the lesser evil is to win the white army in the Red and White Civil War, and the worst is to keep the original history intact.’

As I continued to think, my thoughts were shattered. An elderly Asian man in uniform came into my office.

“I am reporting Colonel Insu Kim.”

“…… Insu Kim? Kim In-soo?”

He was an elderly colonel with a name he had never heard of.

First of all, I’m sure he’s my subordinate since I’m wearing the black uniform of the internal affairs army, but it looks like it’s been a while since I was assigned to the office because the outfit looked awkward. Looking at his name, he is of Korean or Korean descent. Above all, the medal on the chest stood out.

“Hmm, are you from Joseon?”

“That’s right.”

My age is a lot younger than me, but my rank and status are thugs.

After chatting for a while, I discovered something unexpected.

“Did you say he was a sergeant of the Korean Empire?”

“Yes, during the Russo-Japanese War, I crossed the Tuman River and fought against the Japanese….. The country was destroyed, so I enlisted in the Siberian Division.”

I was a medic, but I didn’t think there would be a Korean-Russian who had risen to the rank of colonel in this era… No, after all, I’m a general at all.

“There was a time when I served as a servant of the overlord’s majesty (Gojong). I am ashamed.”

“Correspondent?”

“It was an interpreter to be exact.”

As an official of the former Joseon royal family, it is worth remembering for now.

In the first place, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to restore the Korean Peninsula in the future, but even if there is, there is no soup for the Lee Wang family.

Of course, I can treat a person like King Uichin well, but I can’t get along well with Japan, so I’m willing to take Yeongseon-gun or King Heungchin to the death penalty or forcibly expel them if they say that they belong to the royal family.

There is no special relationship between me and Japan yet, but given the frequent clashes between Russia and Japan, clashes with Japan are inevitable from my point of view, based in the Far East.

‘More than anything else, the Japanese are the ones who peeled pumpkin seeds while saying they supported the White Army during the Red and White Civil War. We don’t know when they’ll hit the back of the head.’

No, it should be considered 100%. And when the double-sided front opens, the white army dies.

Germany, which is much more robust than the White Army, is destined to wither and die without being able to withstand the two-sided front, but the White Army is still uncertain how much it will be settled?

Even the industrial facilities were all in the Far East, so Japan could not replenish the equipment it would have lost if it struck there, so it would be no different from the White Army in the original history.

If that’s the case, I’ll just have to go to America as an asylum.

‘Or use the method proven by history to avoid a two-sided war.’

It’s still too early to think, and if it fails, it’s a path to real destruction, but the moment we allow a two-sided war anyway, the White Army will be destroyed, so we have nothing to lose.

I returned Colonel Kim In-su and looked at the documents.

“Since he has a lot of experience in infantry warfare and was awarded the highest medal, I was thinking of putting him in one of the staff, but would it be better to send him as a regimental commander?”

I shrugged at Irina’s words.

“I will wait a little longer and decide, because there may be characteristics that are not listed on paper.”
