Rasputin of the East

“The cause of hemophilia is that some of the genetic factors of the human body are damaged and blood clotting components are not produced in the body. If you think of the bone marrow as a factory, it is close to being unable to produce specific products due to loss of technology and blueprints. ”

Who am I and where am I?

“We have established a theoretical basis for recovering the genetic information of these bone marrow cells, but we have concluded that the current technology is either impossible or the risk is too great.”

In front of the Nobel Prize winners, who are much older than me, and who have built immortal honors by building monuments in world history, ‘You all applaud my ignorant research topic and progress.’ I never really dreamed that the day would come when I would give a lecture like this.

“Modifying human genetic information? Is that possible?”

“Theoretically, there is a way. I don’t know if you know anything about a living organism called a virus…”

“The theory put forth by Dr. Dmitry Ivanovsky more than 20 years ago, isn’t it? Pathogens much smaller than bacteria?”

FYI, I almost fainted to learn that the existence of the virus was not explicitly identified in this era. What do you mean the virus exists theoretically and has not been isolated or extracted yet?

“It’s difficult to give details, but we have used the virus’s replication mechanism to understand the possibility of genetic manipulation of living cells.”

When it comes to Rashi… Hemophilia treatment was successful using a genetically modified virus.

I was bored too, so I came across this while browsing the internet in my free time, so I only know the mechanism by which a virus puts its genetic material into a host cell, but I have no ability to implement it.

I just hope that smart people of the future will see what I’ve been joking around, take the right direction and develop technology in this direction to minimize the opportunity cost.

But the scientists who listened to me were nodding their heads with a very impressed face. I’m a bit sorry because it seems like I’m being deceived with future knowledge that I’ll never use in my lifetime against people who are objectively smarter than me, but… Maybe some of you here will hear what I’ve said and do something about it.

“Anyway, the limitation of modern technology is the periodic transfusion of plasma containing blood clotting components. Theoretically, it may not be as good as a normal person, but it can still have a significant life expectancy.”

“Isn’t that alone an achievement that will remain in the history of medicine in the world? How the heck do you get such achievements at that age… It really seems like there is such a thing as a blessing from God.”

“It’s overrated.”

Sorry for not explaining in more detail. My bottom line is this is the limit.

I passed the dinner with the Nobel Prize winners, unraveling the magazine style that would not be useful in this day and age anyway.

It seems to have passed without any major problems. I don’t think there is anyone who writes to me with this and asks for opinions, probably? there won’t be……

Well, none of the content I released could cause a big problem later on.

Russian Empire, St. Petersburg, Winter Palace.

“It’s an imperial wedding… Are you going to marry the princess?”

“Yes.”

Marriage of the imperial family is not only concerned with the level of the imperial family.

The fact that the marriage of Archduke Cyril and Archduke Dmitry became a big problem right now is that Archduke Cyril is a princess of the British Empire, but he violated the Imperial Law by marrying without the tsar’s permission, and that Archduke Dmitry had a noble marriage at all. It was.

Thanks to this, these two were strong candidates for the still undecided royal title of Czechoslovakia as influential members of the royal family.

To be more precise, Archduke Cyril was pushed rather than Archduke Dmitry, who had been married to the devil, but since Archduke Cyril was reluctant to acquire the Czechoslovak throne, it was close to putting Archduke Nikolai in.

In any case, most of the people seated had a rough guess as to what was to be said next.

In the first place, beyond giving permission to marry now, the only members of the imperial family that the tsar would ask to marry first were the princesses, so who would the groom be?

Almost everyone is married, and there is no suitable family to marry abroad.

Germany or Austria? How long ago were you at war?

Italy? It is questionable from the beginning whether it will be possible to maintain the monarchy.

uk? There is no one who would argue for an imperial marriage with England, where relations only deteriorated, except for those who wanted to be outside the eyes of the Tsar.

There must be Spain and Scandanavia, and there must also be Balkan countries.

However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would not be an exaggeration to say that the need to moderately suppress the Balkan royal family had the second greatest influence on Russia’s foreign policy after the Tsar’s order. After several decades have passed, there is no reason to save their energy for nothing.

Moreover, there was one problem that would make everyone who could read the current situation properly nod their heads. Existence of too much military power.

At the same time as the end of the war, the Russian army, especially the army, was virtually dualized.

First of all, the reason why it is called the Internal Affairs Army faction, not the Internal Affairs Army faction, is simple.

The interior forces are too few to take over the new army. Even if you are called large, it is difficult to rapidly increase in size while maintaining quality, and you have to accept human resources from the existing military.

In any case, the new military division was composed of general officers and those who joined the internal affairs army or had close relations with it like the southern front army during the Great War, and below, and the internal affairs army itself. and those who don’t.

Of course, the latter were trying to somehow fit into the former, unless they were not interested in promotion or were waiting for retirement. Didn’t the former almost wipe out all the achievements in the last great war?

Those who fall under the latter have to look for records of victories while those who fall under the former have to look for records of defeats.

It is a warlord that controls the military and intelligence department and has its own logistics system. What is the best way to prevent a hero who is too burdensome to purge because he is fervently supported in the religious circles and from all walks of life, and does not shake the national system? Is it not the formation of a nexus with the ruling class?

Above all else, he is the emperor’s favourite. It takes a while for him to come from a foreign country, but the achievements he has made are more than enough to cover ‘such a problem’.

There is no one to object to.

And, the emperor’s remarks were not too wrong in their predictions.

The problem is, there was one person who opposed it contrary to expectations.

“No!”

Stolipin’s complexion, which was exhaled like a scream, was in danger of being shattered at any moment.

***

“your majesty.”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

“I’m not against the Duke’s marriage with the Imperial family! But he was wrong!”

“If your opponent is wrong, what level do you have to match?”

“I mean, it’s not a matter of class! This! Your Majesty, please clarify one thing. What kind of succession do you have in mind?”

“Why is there a succession scheme here?”

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for judging Your Majesty’s intentions. But your Majesty is trying to change the law of succession, isn’t it because your Majesty the Crown Prince knows that it is difficult to bear the weight of a double-headed eagle?”

“……”

“It is also because you know that among those who have inherited His Majesty’s blood there are some more worthy of the throne than others.”

“Pyotr Stolipin.”

It was a warning, but Stolipin spoke calmly.

“He is clearly the Romanov sword, the blade that will destroy all foreign enemies targeting Russia. No, it goes beyond that and will write a new world, but if you keep the blade too close, you’ll bleed the moment you make a mistake. The sharper the sword, the easier it is to get hurt, but if you keep the blade far away, the person who aims for the precious sword will steal it. ”

“Stop it, I won’t let you speak any more.”

Stolipin closed her eyes at Tsar’s words as if my intentions had been decided.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

Tired.

I just want to throw everything away.

If you resign right now, it will probably be repaired within an hour.

Then he goes home and hugs his family. I hope I can stop working all night and be a little more faithful to my family.

Let’s buy a sweet cake for his daughter, who likes sweets. A brilliant chef who has been exiled from Austria-Hungary recently opened a restaurant in St. Petersburg. It would be nice to go there.

A frustrated master who does not know his loyalty, the only way to save Russia, aristocrats who are anxious to keep up with every event, disloyal and full of desire to overthrow the country and take power by themselves. Disgusting communists who can see the hypocrisy full of lust for power by just flipping over one layer of shell.

Tired of fighting all of them. Fortunately, there were people who could be called allies or comrades, but the more he went on, the more burden he had on him.

But he couldn’t back off.

The world praised the duke for his feats, but he was the one who prepared the budget for the corps behind him, which sucked up a budget that could not be compared to the general Russian army he had created.

It was one of the proofs that you can’t just leave it all behind and retire just because you have comrades.

‘Oh God.’

Even if it’s just a few more years, let me endure.

May I die the day after the empire rises from the crisis and rises upon the rock.

Seeing the glory can be passed on to the next generation, so in order to rescue him from even a crisis, Stolipin had to take a heavy step.

***

“I didn’t know that he, no one else, would oppose so fiercely. Aren’t you two pretty close?”

“But isn’t one of the things Stolipin said right? The person concerned is not out of the country right now, and being unable to even sit there discussing their own marriage is honestly not worthy of such a hero.”

“It is, but… I am sure Stolipin will be overthrown by this incident, tossing the umbrella that was protecting him with my own hands, even though the Tsar already saw him in a bad way. ttt.”

“If you want to go home and rest, it would have been much easier and simpler if you had resigned.”

The meeting was closed, but rumors are as fast as light.

Half of St. Petersburg’s socialites could hear before the end of the day that Stolipin’s downfall was certain, and the slower half would hear within a few days.

Although this caused temporary turmoil in the stock market, most of the aristocracy welcomed Stolipin’s downfall. Stolipin was an enemy not only to revolutionaries but also to nobles.

It was then that the Duke of Vostok returned to St. Petersburg after completing all his work abroad.
