Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 58 >

“Are you sure you don’t intend to negotiate alone?”

“Of course, it’s enough to just stick to the position of the Russian Empire in the preliminary negotiations and sign a treaty on terms that are generous to Germany.”

“The minimum of that generous condition…”

“Can’t we just make a treaty on a common-sense level?”

What is that common sense? I’m really curious right now what’s in your head? You can’t really open it physically. shit.

“It should stop at the line of sharing only a certain amount of territory and reparations.”

“I……”

Oh really, damn real. Isn’t it? That’s… isn’t it? Didn’t I just say it was installed by default?

“The rookies dared to abdicate the emperor as a condition of peace with Germany. Wherever he dared to dethrone a legitimate emperor, to the low-class savages…”

Aww! f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!

“Are you here?”

White flickers in front of your eyes. If you look closely, it’s a hand in a white glove.

“Princess, will you please leave me alone for a moment?”

“I… did you hear anything bad from your father?”

Tatiana asked cautiously.

“why? Do you have any kangaroos?”

“Anastasia, are you being a bit harsh these days?”

“I’m doing this because it’s nice to see you, Maria.”

Either way, I had to struggle.

First, the emperor ostensibly has no intention of getting out of the war alone. You may want to do it in your heart, but let’s say you don’t. I don’t know if it’s because I’m noticing it or if it’s not.

In other words, what the emperor wants is for the Russian Empire to take the lead of the negotiating power in the Treaty of Versailles (I don’t know if it is also the Treaty of Versailles here), and to give the victor a ‘generous offer’ to Germany.

And it contains the maintenance of the Empire and the maintenance of the throne of Wilhelm II. The emperor was resolutely nailed to it as if he could not concede.

One more thing, Germany’s defeat is a definite fact, but it’s not that close. Once the charter is in our favor, it is unlikely to be reversed. This is the premise, but does that mean Germany is going to collapse immediately? that’s not it again

The Som Offensive is still in progress, and when that ends, the turnip winter will begin in earnest. At the same time, salt pan thought will soar.

Germany has not yet exhausted its national power.

So let’s see, are we alone in this situation? It’s an impossible assumption, but let’s assume it is.

Germany would then be able to concentrate on the Western Front. Of course, the Eastern Front is in a lull right now, but it is impossible to empty the troops at all.

Assuming that no country cares about the Italian army in the first place, and we focus on only Britain and France, we might win, maybe. I don’t know if Germany will collapse before then.

But even so, it is most likely that the UK, France and Germany will end up committing suicide together.

And there is no need to end the war in moderation. It is true that the country is struggling, and frankly, Russia’s stomach is complaining of indigestion just with the influence of Constantinople and the Balkans.

‘Actually, we don’t even need East Prussia.’

Maybe we should let Poland go. Considering the influence of the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Middle East, Poland has the potential to become a monster that consumes resources and manpower once its aspiration for independence is ignited.

‘That’s something to think about after looking at the situation in Poland.’

In a reasonable calculation, yes.

The problem is that we are a victorious country, but there is a possibility that there is a strong possibility of backlash, such as why they let Poland go. No, it might be a dissatisfaction for not being able to rip off East Prussia in the first place.

It is a dissatisfaction that can exist not only in the nobility, but also in the subordinates. Of course, ‘Instead, the 3rd Patriarchate belongs to us!’ I can give you a religious affiliation, but I don’t know if that will be enough.

‘And it’s true that Wilhelm II is better than Hitler if he can.’

Hitler would be in Som according to current history, but I hope you will find it.

Of course, the Nazis wouldn’t have come out without Hitler. In the first place, WWII was foretold from the time the sham Treaty of Versailles, which was harsh when it should be harsh, and was harsh when it should be generous.

However, if the Treaty of Versailles is concluded more generously according to the wishes of the Tsar, it may be possible to avoid World War II from a macroscopic point of view.

The problem is how to convince the people who have shed blood.

There is a way to promote the Russian Empire as having virtually acquired the religion and the Middle East, but what about an old lion whose pride is scarier than the original history? How many times was Marian humiliated by the Prussian golden eagle?

If you were generous, the regime would literally be overthrown and red flags would rise at Buckingham Palace and the Eiffel Tower.

But the problem is that the yangban ordered him to be generous… In the first place, I am in a position where it is virtually impossible to refuse the emperor’s orders, so let’s do it for now.

In the first place, a generous treaty of Versailles has more to lose than to gain from a harsh treaty against Germany.

First, the people’s desire for revenge is not satisfied. Second, there is not much that actually comes in. Third, the basics of diplomacy are far-gyo-gong-gong, but the German Empire is the borderline.

‘Basically, arms restrictions, reparations, and territories are all negotiable, but there is only one problem.’

German imperial family. Hohenzollern dynasty.

Those who want to bring down Hohenzollern are Britain and France, Germany will never accept that, and the Tsar agrees with Germany.

In the end, the tsar wants one thing from me. To get Britain and France to break that will and stamp their consent to keep the German Empire.

‘I have even a hypnosis application, so it would be unreasonable to brainwash the British and French governments as a whole.’

However, since we can’t completely revise Operation Twilight now, we just enforced Operation Eclipse without the emperor and said, ‘Oh, I did my best, but the German imperial family couldn’t stand it and collapsed? It’s unfortunate, but let’s accept asylum. If there are any survivors.’ This would be really better. really.

“Still, you did it, so I have to pretend to do it.”

“What did you do?”

“…. there is. It’s not something I’m going to talk about here… Anyway, for that reason, I may have to go to France for a while, even formally.”

“Are you from France?”

“I don’t know if I should go to France, maybe even London.”

“Are you going on a long business trip?”

“It won’t be a big deal.”

Even if there is hyperinflation, religion is filled like that, but it doesn’t make sense to say that the situation changes in such a short period of time just because I go abroad for a while, and the only problematic thing is that the nobles say it’s nonsense.

German Empire? The Eastern Front will be quiet for the time being, as it is clear that we will not have the capacity to attack on the Eastern Front during the Battle of the Somme, and it is not worth shed more blood by forcing us to attack anyway.

At least I have to pretend that I did something, but there is also the need to negotiate with Britain and France.

As a bonus, we don’t know if we can rip anything out of them, and at least we know that if we fall in, we’ll spit if we threaten a little.

‘Is it some kind of Cairo meeting?’

It might go down in history as a World War I version of the Cairo Conference. I’m not a tsar, but when I go, won’t you give me a seat as a special plenipotentiary ambassador?

‘For once, Austria-Hungary cannot be saved.’

you are screwed now If you can’t, you have to spit it out to Hungary, and even if you can protect it, Austria and the Czech Republic are the best.

Except for Hungary, which has now become independent, the rest of the Russian Empire is in control! I wonder if I can afford to eat it though.

“……go!”

“……?”

Was it something you had just been fighting for? what?

“Sister, honestly, you have no conscience! We were just sitting there looking through letters in Moscow, are we going again? no! I can’t yield! This time it’s Anastasia’s turn!”

what turn

“No, honestly, think about it, it’s an event where you have to go abroad to prevent your Majesty the British King and the head of the French government.

“Hey, what are you talking about?”

“No, I wish we could have gone from Constantinople to Jerusalem together, but you are trying to monopolize London and Paris! Count, honestly, isn’t my sister too greedy?”

What do you mean by monopoly?

No, rather than that, why are you following my diplomatic tour schedule?

“I am the one who can really help you, Anastasia.”

“Why is your sister?”

When Maria asked something bluntly, Olga tried to explain it step by step.

“First of all, your sister is the eldest, right? Politically, what the Tsar’s eldest daughter prevents is a performance that reaffirms its alliance with Britain and France. It would be best for Alexei to go, but you know, Alexey won’t be able to travel far, right?”

“That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go! Is it okay for any one of us to go?”

“Still, this older sister is more familiar with the diplomatic and bureaucratic aspects. How strict are the British royal etiquettes, but if Anastasia goes, you won’t be able to stand it for even five minutes?”

Oh no, I would do it if the Russian court etiquette was stricter…

Of course, I thought it would be better not to say those words out of my mouth, even considering Olga’s face.

“Can you stand it for five minutes?”

While Anastasia, who had been beaten out of nowhere, was furious, I quietly touched her forehead.

‘No, who said he was going to take him?’

Something is a bit too ominous

***

“Did you know what to know?”

“of course. I’ve dealt with it all. First of all… the only Germans who have come into contact with His Majesty are the Imperial Family.”

“Are you royalty?”

“The Empress Dowager Mama. So it doesn’t make much sense. In the first place, the decision to act sympathetically for Germany and to show hostility to Britain is almost entirely determined by His Majesty’s will. Well, the hostility towards England is understandable.”

“Why?”

“During the Russo-Japanese War, it was not Britain that explicitly supported Japan. There was also this incident, so it is no wonder that His Majesty was angry.”

“Okay, thanks for letting me know, and I’ll keep asking.”

“Wait a minute, did you say continuation?”

“Yeah, I had to go on a business trip because I was in charge of diplomacy… Why is that?”

For a moment, seeing Irina’s expression, I was startled.

“Did you say you were going on a business trip for diplomatic work?”

“Okay. therefore…..”

“I will go too.”

“yes…?”

Irina said firmly.

“You will need an escort, and if you are traveling abroad, you will need a secretary. I will go too.”

“No… If you go too, what about GRU and Ohrana?”

“If an organization cannot move just because the head is absent for a short time, it means that it was set up incorrectly from the beginning. Even without us, routine counter-espionage work and various information operations have been made so that they can be carried out as before. Up to 1 year will go back without any problems. Even if it’s a long business trip, it’s probably not going to go away for a year.”

“That’s right……”

In the end, I was pushed out of the logic fight and had to accompany Irina.
