European Financial Emperor - European Financial Emperor chapter 233

233 Regiment(2)

As the two-way attack on Russia continued, an unexpected intelligence arrived at Easterfield’s federal forces.

“… … American Civil War?”

“It is said that the South and the North may split up and wage a war.”

“Um, does that happen in the end?”

The United States has had sharply divided political views for quite some time, and has grown up politically with southern and northern bloodlines opposed to each other.

Such a political situation in the United States eventually led to a civil war.

“The Senate has already passed the abolition of slavery and amendments to the financial law, and it is said that Southern lawmakers and entrepreneurs who oppose it rose up.”

“… … I think it would be a bit difficult if the United States started a war in this situation.”

Easterfield’s 2nd Vice Defense Minister James Tunga decided to inform Lee Hwan first of this fact.

As James Tunga entered the Prince’s School, loud laughter could be heard from far away.

“Kyarrrr!”

“Here, pass the ball over here!”

“Don’t run! Scold the teacher!”

The children were growing up talking and joking around.

James Tunga looked at him and smiled softly.

“Yeah, the grandchildren are people too. The moms are growing up very well.”

The only difference was the fact that they were children.

He passed the place where the children were playing and went to the principal’s office in the school where Lee Hwan was living.

Lee Hwan usually takes care of his affairs here, and at night he has a habit of sleeping in the same dormitory with the children.

He knew that spending as much time with the children as possible was good emotionally.

smart.

James Tunga pretending to be popular in the office.

“majesty! I heard the second vice minister of defense!”

“Well, Vice Minister Tunga! Come on in.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Tunga saluted Yi Hwan, who was watching the state affairs in full swing.

chuck!

“Loyalty! Nothing wrong with work!”

“Okay, are you here? Just sit down.”

Deputy Minister Tunga headed to the rustic table as Lee Hwan led.

There was a sofa made of crude fabric, which, although a bit bumpy, had no problem sitting or reclining.

Yi Hwan gave the car to Tunga.

“black tea? Or green tea? There is also Puer tea.”

“Ceylon tea is always good.”

“Um, yes. Do it with Ceylonti.”

Lee Hwan begins to soak tea from Ceylon in water.

Tunga said to him carefully.

“Your Majesty, it looks like the United States is going to start a civil war.”

“… … civil war?”

“It is said that the United States, the second most powerful force here in America, is likely to be divided due to inter-Korean conflict.”

“The American Civil War.”

Lee Hwan was not surprised because it was already expected.

However, James Tunga surprised himself because Lee Hwan was so blunt.

“Your Majesty, this is a presumptuous statement, but I think you already knew it.”

“Yeah, I already knew. I thought that one day America would be divided. What if there are two forces with different political views, and two groups with conflicting interests collide?”

“iced coffee… … !”

“It has been decades since traditional agricultural areas and emerging industrial areas collided, causing serious conflict. Nevertheless, the political world is still in chaos, and in the midst of this, we are confronted with each other in the policy field of the state, so in fact, it must have been a sufficient reason for a war.”

The reasons for the American Civil War are quite complex, but in a nutshell, it is a conflict of interest.

The conflict of interest between the two Koreas, whether politically or economically, had reached a point where the South and the North could no longer coexist.

Such conflicts were further exacerbated by the advent of Easterfield.

“Our Easterfield grain production capacity began to overwhelm the United States at some point. Our territory was extended to Canada, which is a unique territory, different from the territory controlled by the federal government. In such a vast territory, we are increasing the amount of agricultural products with the help of machines, so why don’t the farmers in the South of the United States work hard to make a profit?”

“Aha… … ! Then, we made a large investment in the North, receiving dividends every year, and interfering in management must have been a reason to start a war in the North?”

“Well, that’s what it is. They also have to grow a company with protectionism at the forefront, but wouldn’t it be difficult as this guy’s falling profits keep blocking his way?”

“So, in the end, the Senate led the way to amend the bill, but the South did not stand still.”

“Can’t you see that?”

Lee Hwan thought that even if a civil war broke out, it would happen after the children became adults.

However, the development of the United States was faster than Lee Hwan had thought, and the goal of the conflict was deeper than that of the Easterfield Federation.

Lee Hwan decided to listen to the American war.

“Is the railroad crossing America complete?”

“Yes that’s right. The northern part is longer if the railroad is measured only at the hypothesized proportion. When we bought the Canadian border in the past, didn’t we build a huge railroad, starting with the one connecting to Arkansas?”

“Hmm, is that so?”

The victory or defeat of the war could be determined by the presence or absence of railroads.

Lee Hwan was worried about where he should push.

“At the end of the war, the United States will become a nation. No matter who you push, America is America in the end.”

“Then what if we don’t push both sides at all?”

“No, that’s not okay. It doesn’t make sense to not promote war at all if we’re going to have a strong influence on America in the future.”

“Well, how much money we invested alone. I can’t help but push it.”

Lee Hwan has invested in the United States.

A huge amount of goods were concentrated in the north, and a considerable amount of investment was also put into the south coast.

Therefore, it became the closest country to the North American continent, but the problem was that the United States was not a full-fledged Easterfield country.

“The problem is that if we push the South, there will be a contradiction in national policy.”

“Aha, slavery!”

“Yes, we have destroyed all slavery in Africa and Asia, saying that we will punish slavery strongly, but now, can we not push the southern United States, which produces and even sells slaves?”

“Then why not push the North?”

“That’s also a problem. North America was the first to do dumping through strong protection trade. We made the investment, but they attacked us with the weapons of dumping and tariff barriers. In a word, it means that they have repaid their kindness with their enemies.”

“Huh! So is America a country that should disappear?”

At first glance, the United States would seem to Easterfield to be the first thing to get rid of.

Hana Lee Hwan’s position was not that.

“We are in the position of farmers who raise cattle in the United States. If a cow doesn’t listen, can I catch it before it’s even grown?”

“Aha… … !”

“Let me fight for now. After that, I can raise the rod so that both of them can fix their burlesque hair.”

Russia felt a crisis because of the power of the Soviet Union, which took only a month to climb to the vicinity of Obdorsk.

It was because he was planning to stop the war by using the winter to come as a shield while refining his ranks here.

The Soviet Union, however, advanced fairly quickly using the transversal railroad, and was able to advance into the heart of Russia much faster than its own troops.

Oh Hak-seon, commander of the expeditionary force of the Soviet Union, ordered to press down the enemy with artillery fire before entering the enemy’s heartland.

“Does the explosives listen?”

“I listen very well. Of course, some dogs don’t fire, but most explosives are pretty good.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, we are in a position to use all the shells we have brought here. When are you going to bring this down again?”

“Are you going to open fire then?”

“We will destroy their military bases until the fighters sortie.”

“Yes, Commander!”

The enemy’s army is over 100,000.

Hana Easterfield The Soviet Union’s army is three times as large as 300,000.

If the large army and the large army were to face each other, it was clear that the Russian army would not be able to pick bones.

“Prepare the tanks for sortie, and resupply the infantry units.”

“Yes, Commander!”

“Push into a room. Think of it as ending the war altogether with this attack.”

The military of the Soviet Union is quite aggressive.

They learned only to advance, and even studied what would be the most effective warfare.

Time was like gold for those who studied such an efficient advance.

Thus, in the front-line infantry units, the soldiers under Oh Hak-seon’s orders began to advance.

“Advance! The war is waged in the form of encircling the enemy while occupying the temporary positions on the military map in turn. Do you understand?!”

“Yes!”

“All troops, advance!”

Easterfield’s infantry usually travels long distances by car, so the only time they will march is when there are not enough vehicles or vehicles can’t cross.

It was just before winter was in full swing, so it was a good environment for vehicles to go in and out, and it was good for soldiers to set up tents and build fortifications.

In just three days, each unit reached the priority occupied position.

Since the ground was not yet frozen, it was possible to fill the soil with a shovel and pickaxe, and the work of laying the heating wire to warm the inside was carried out easily.

The Soviet Union was trying to make all-out preparations so that it could survive here for quite some time.

Taken from noblemtl.net

Moreover, if this place is captured, it will become the territory of Joseon anyway, so such preparations were rather recommended.

While the Soviet Union’s positions were being built, a standby order was issued from the top.

“The artillery fire of our allies begins. Now, we have to wait until the bombardment is over here, and when the enemy is completely dead, we can advance in unison and destroy them.”

“How long will it take to complete the shelling?”

“I do not know. It won’t be over until we run out of the shells we’ve brought.”

“Well, then it will take a few days.”

“Anyway, we stand here ready to attack. Any questions?”

“There is not!”

“Then keep digging and take good care of your weapons. More than!”

Transmission of the operation was surprisingly simple.

Waiting safely until the enemy camp is devastated.

That was the key to this operation.

As the infantry units were establishing their positions in the front, an unexpected situation occurred.

“Soldiers pour out of the Russian camp!”

“… … what? Are they crazy? Are you going to attack first?”

“Yes, it is!”

What the hell is Russia thinking?

But for now, I couldn’t afford to think of anything else.

“Let me show you that if you attack, you will all die. Shoot all the bastards in Russian uniforms.”

“Wait, I don’t think I can!”

“What are you talking about?”

“We put military uniforms on old people, women and children!”

“… … what?!”
