Rasputin of the East

＜ Episode 70 >

Negotiations were quite satisfactory.

Repay a significant portion of the loan owed to the UK or increase the interest-free repayment period by 10 to 20 years. We’ll never have to pay back a single penny of the loan we lost to France.

To be precise, instead of reflecting in the treaty so that France takes the amount of reparations we should have received at the time of the end of the war, it is to cancel the debts of the Russian Empire that France has at the same time as the end of the war. It’s like handing over the debt to Germany.

He said he liked the fact that France could tempt Germany with that debt. We’re just getting a little less in reparation.

Well, it’s a pity that it didn’t make a full change, but that one was also quite desperate.

But the problem is, the negotiation is not over with this, but the negotiation on the prerequisites for the negotiation.

‘Honestly, it would be much better if the cubs of the nobles had their stomachs alone, but is there any reasonable justification?’

I honestly didn’t expect this to happen, but I sympathized with Stalin.

Stolipin and I persuaded the Crown Prince and the princesses to deny the tsar’s approval of the dog shit they tried last year.

On the other hand, the real tsar looks like a fairy. At least this yangban donates a lot or something like that.

First of all, what should we do from the practice of the aristocrats monopolizing the positions of local government officials, but these are children who do not want to put power on a subject that does not even do a lot of work…

‘Should I turn back even a real rebellion?’

But I have to convince them that there is an excuse for treason manipulation…

I am a church and aristocrat, and I have to wipe it out, but the problem is that in the case of the church, I am politically my supporter. But seeing Ohrana write a report of what these bastards are doing gives me goosebumps. Last time, I was trying to cause some kind of fog room, so I made the Interior Ministry perform their original duties after a really long time.

Even if we delay real industrialization, the temptation to just ignore the Civil War, wipe it out and start over, still haunts me.

Before preparing for the meeting for a full-fledged consultation on Jerusalem, I attended a party hosted by the British Royal Family.

“Did you not sleep?”

“yes…….”

“If you snore in the middle of the banquet hall, what disgrace is that?”

“I’m not… I’m going to…”

Maria tried to harden her expression at Olga’s playful remarks, but she couldn’t overcome her fatigue.

“Take a break. I will wake you up.”

“please.”

After a while, Maria put her head on my shoulder and began to throb.

“What happened last night? People have to sleep like this… Oh, my.”

Bad timing. Just as I was asking Tatiana, George V was coming this way with some members of the Cabinet.

“Come here, please.”

I quickly handed Maria over to Tatiana, and I got up and met him before he got here.

“His Majesty the King. It is an honor to meet you again.”

“Me too, maybe I’m more honored. In the future, there will be those who do not know my name, but there will be few who do not know your name.”

“It’s overrated.”

Just then, Olga and Anastasia followed me and greeted George V.

“By the way, did you come here just to say hello?”

“No, I have something to tell you.”

As King George V blinked, the waitress held out a long object wrapped in white cloth.

“It’s inferior to Curtana or the legendary Excalibur, but please accept it. It was made to commemorate Russia’s sacrifice and victory in this war, so it would be right to give it to the Count who played the leading role.”

When the white cloth was removed, a two-handed sword about 120 cm tall was revealed.

The cross guard was engraved with a silver leopard made of gold, the handle was decorated with gold thread, and a rose made of pure gold adorned the crystal pommel.

A double-headed eagle crest made of jewels and gold was embedded in a leather sheath adorned with gold and silver.

“Would you like to pick it up? The Count is also uninhabited, but I hope you like it. Made from the finest steel available in England.”

At the invitation of King George V, I drew my sword.

– As a gift from King George V to the Count of Vostok, the protector of the frozen lands, and as a sign of homage to the British.

Seeing the inscriptions in Russian and English, I smiled.

‘Is this the Stalingrad sword?’

Except for the fact that the giver and the receiver are different?

“This is my favorite gift. Thank you. your majesty.”

“Yeah, I just hope that the friendship between the Russian Empire and the British Empire will last forever.”

I laughed inwardly. I thought I knew what King George V was thinking with such an expensive gift.

It was originally a way for the royal family to participate in politics in England. For example, if the president of a country refuses to hold a summit with the British Prime Minister because of a bad relationship with the British, the Queen invites the president to Buckingham Palace as a state guest, and tries to find a way to make him come to England.

But the queen hasn’t been born yet.

Although a dramatic agreement was reached on the prerequisites for the meeting, as considerable labor was expected in the main meeting, it was likely that the royal family would intervene through blood ties as a medium to lubricate it.

Well, but if you don’t like this just because you can see the plot, it’s not that. I must have become an enemy.

“I also hope that the friendship between the two countries will be long.”

But the Tsar wouldn’t think so.

There is no need to attach such a useless four-legged thing, although it is something that the other party is keenly aware of.

Then, from there, Irina started walking straight towards me.

“The Count. It is an emergency.”

“What?”

Then Irina spoke softly into my ear.

“Operation eclipse was successful. The Spartacists have started a major uprising in Berlin.”

I had to struggle to keep my poker face.

Now the war is over. Either way.

“Spray oil.”

“I have already instructed my country to do so. Apart from that, the tsar requested that you return immediately, but…”

“It should be.”

By now, the German Empire must have obtained the intelligence received through Mata Hari.

And by then you’ll know. Who is the only negotiable partner?

france? Are you crazy? There’s no way they’ll be happy to negotiate with Britain, at least the Russian Empire will be the only one trying to save the imperial family, and most of the Junkers’ army, with no chance of sympathizing with the communists, is also in the east.

In other words, Wilhelm II had no choice but to flee to the east, negotiate with the Russian Empire to open the way, and jointly suppress the Commune by German and Russian forces.

There’s no way they’d be unaware that there was no room for negotiations with Britain or France, and even if Kaiser didn’t know, the things below would be known.

‘To do that, it is absolutely not possible if it is suppressed in moderation.’

don’t do it

have to make a fire Set fire to all sides, making it impossible to even tell the difference between the front and the back, the friendly and the enemy.

What if Hohenzollern dies in the meantime? Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. So you should have gotten out of here.

Of course, to do that, I have to go and make adjustments, so the tsar’s return order is rather well-timed.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, it seems that the Tsar has ordered you to repatriate.”

“…what did you say?”

I added to the bewildered King George V.

“It is said that a sudden change occurred and I had to be personally involved. Your Majesty will soon receive a report through the Cabinet.”

Then, the door opened.

“Your Majesty, something happened in Germany.”

I waited for a while while the man with a face I had seen a lot, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and reporting to King George V, opened my mouth as soon as the conversation was over.

“As you may have heard, things have changed dramatically. Now that the situation has come to this, the meeting must inevitably be stopped, but, no matter where it is in Berlin, will this meeting be continued sooner or later? At that time, I would like to appease the disappointment of this time.”

“… Once Nicky has summoned the Earl, it is inevitable, but I hope that the Earl will not forget the British friendship.”

I almost burst out laughing for a moment, but I managed to manage my expression.

friendship? are you British Empire?

Of course, contrary to my heart, my mouth did its job faithfully.

“of course. your majesty.”

“I’ll have to go back and coordinate with the Interior Forces, but the German vacuum won’t be difficult. It is not difficult to suppress the Commune forces under the premise that the stockpiles are well stocked and the German army cooperates.

“Germany will be better than you think. The problem is Austria-Hungary and the Balkans.”

“What are you going to do?”

“First of all, what do we do with Serbia? I can’t leave those sick things alone.”

Considering what that crazy Serbian nationalism has done throughout the twentieth century, Serbia cannot stand still, no matter how ally Serbia is.

“Overthrow the Serbian government. In particular, the military, intelligence, and black hands are all purged and the military is filled with personnel selected by the GRU.”

Especially the black hands, these really shouldn’t be left alive, they’ll start another world war if left alone.

The Black Hand, whose official name is Unity or Death, is the first fascist organization that has its own foreign policy independent of the government, and the head of the Black Hand and Serbian intelligence chief Dragutin Dimitriyevich ‘Colonel’, who currently controls the military, is He is a war criminal who started World War I by controlling the Sarajevo incident.

“The number of members of the Black Hand is estimated to be at least ten thousand. It may not reach 100,000, but it is not a small scale…”

“The number of those bastards killed and raped directly or indirectly is far less than the number of people who killed and raped them. Prisoners, there is no need for a trial.”

I pointed to a name at the top of the list.

“The head of the Black Hand, the current Serbian intelligence chief, Dragutin Dimitriyevich, commonly known as Apis, is a man who will wage war in Greece or anywhere if he is left alone, so he will use Spetsnaz to kill him.”

In the original history, he should have been arrested and executed by the civilian government during the war, but now he pretends to be good and has become a national hero, so we need to get rid of it before it is no longer usable.

When that bastard decided to start a war, he was worried that his power would be threatened, and as an added bonus, he did it with the belief that the Russian Empire would clean it up no matter what process it went through. didn’t it happen

The brain structure that threw their sense of reality into the Sea of Galilee makes it very clear what they are thinking right now. Next time, if we don’t think we’ll be able to expand our territory by going to war again, we should grab our pants and hang around.

“Reform cannot be carried out at the same time as war. Whatever you cut, you have to cut it boldly.”
