Rasputin of the East - Rasputin of the East chapter 175

＜ Episode 175 >

The gunfire stopped.

Those who tried to defend Berlin became unable to pull the trigger until the last one.

Seven of the cannons that bombarded the city of Berlin until the last minute were scrapped by the Russian Air Force’s massive airstrikes at Konev’s command, while the rest were lined up by trains.

A double-headed eagle roared from the rooftops of the Reichstag, and the head of the Russian cavalry reached the Elbe River.

The Siege of Berlin was over.

But the war had just begun.

The enemies had already moved all the functions of the capital to Bonn, and Hitler was still encouraging the war in Bonn via radio.

“We need a reorganization of our troops. The German resistance was so intense…”

“Konef, you know that best. If a reorganization is necessary, do it, and report in writing the supplies, replenishment, and the necessary schedule for the reorganization.”

“All right.”

It’s not like I’m giving orders to the unprepared troops to cross the Elbe right away.

“This is General Rokosovsky’s treasury.”

Shortly after the war broke out, all of northern Turkey was lost. However, the remaining territory is only a partial section from Gallipoli to Constantinople. Greece and Turkey have been attacking us with one heart and one mind.

Of course, that was for a while. Supply was sufficient by sea, and the Yugoslavs beat the Greeks and pushed the Greeks south, and Constantinople was again connected by land.

Of course, Anatolia is still Turkey’s powerhouse, but in a situation where Malinovsky and Rokosovsky capture and beat Turkey from east to west, Wrangel is mobilizing Russian and Yugoslav forces to push Greece with ease.

Britain and Germany wanted some support, but after Suez was taken away, Greece and Turkey are just being beaten as they are putting their full force into Suez and the European front.

So there was no urgent report coming from there.

“what? Has Turkey announced its intention to surrender? Or Greece?”

“no. However, it is said that the British fleet is conducting reconnaissance activities near the Dardanelles.”

“……Are those idiots trying to film the 2nd Battle of Gallipoli?”

What Churchill Ghost Written? I was told that Churchill, wholly buried in politics, is now living in his own home in despair and drunkenness. I don’t know if I remember Suldok correctly, but anyway, even the current intelligence department was negative about the possibility that Churchill could do something meaningful in the future.

No matter what I do, I hear the sound of ‘your next Gallipoli’.

“no.”

“There is no way that the Royal Navy will ever know that it will never pass through the Dardanelles without an amphibious warfare, is this a deception?”

“It doesn’t seem like that either. It seems that they are concerned that we will not assault Crete.”

“Cretara.”

The immovable carrier of the eastern Mediterranean, Crete.

The problem is that we don’t have the means to invade Crete right now. Although the strategic value is clear.

There’s no way Rokosovsky didn’t know that, so he didn’t report it directly to me, is there any other problem?

“And it is said that the Greek royal family has been in contact. They said that they would become a shield for Russia if they would drive out Britain and restore the monarchy.”

“that……..”

I was worried for a while.

“Let me send you to Moscow.”

Rokosovsky is not a decision to be made alone. The information that the Royal Navy is flirting with… It’s obvious.

‘Are you asking for more supplies and troops?’

In the upper neighborhood, the double-headed eagle flag has bloomed in Berlin, but if you lose your original jurisdiction and can’t even restore it, it’s heartbreaking.

Although I don’t touch the operation of each front command’s troops as much as possible.

“And the Czech front… ha.”

I scratched the back of my head for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“How is General Mannerheim?”

“You say you are fine, but to be honest, your health has deteriorated a bit.”

“Once the front is stabilized, I will award a medal to General Mannerheim for his early achievements in the war and order him to retire due to his old age and health problems.”

Even though a yangban over seventy is a general, it’s honestly not the right thing to do to keep leaving the military gates and entrusting them with the main front lines to abuse them.

Tukhaschensky…. Sending him as a front-line commander is a bit daunting, and since Brangel Lee is also old, he has to find a successor, not to leave him in the military. If Greece surrenders, this yangban should also be given medals and retired.

“Tolbuhin, Chuikov, Malinovsky, Rokosovsky.”

First of all, I think either Tolbuhin or Chuikov can get away with it, but it will be a little difficult, but the current missions of the Central Asian military districts often overlap with those of the Far Eastern military districts. It’s not going to go to war with Japan right now, and it’s almost all about China, so Tolbuhin might be better.

‘I think it would be better for Malinovsky to take over as his successor when Wrangel resigns. Shall we take Chuikov for the Czech military district?’

No, it would have been better to consolidate the command of the Balkan, Turkish, and Persian fronts if Turkey and Greece were to be subdued. After all, if those two fall, there’s not much to pour out more troops on the Balkans and Anatolia, and we’ll just have to deal with the Persians.

“dismissal?”

“Let us look at the situation on the Balkan and Anatolian fronts and decide who to hold.”

***

Olympus, Republic of Greece, occupied territory of the Russian Empire.

“Your Majesty said so.”

Wrangel laughed.

“Yes that’s right.”

“Well, I have to let that yangban go now, I’m over seventy.”

Of course, more importantly, we will decide based on the situation in Greece and Turkey.

In other words, depending on how the Greek and Turkish fronts are finished, the person who will serve as the commander of the next Czech military district will be decided.

“Aren’t you greedy, General?”

“me?”

Wrangel shook his head.

“How old am I? I’m 61 already. It’s an age where you have to figure out where you are.”

“then?”

“I will be discharged from the military once this discharge is completed. Of course, it may be rejected because it is an exhibition, but I may still be able to go to a single job.”

The enthusiasm of his youth was almost gone, but Wrangel was burning the last spark.

“And when the war is over, then I’ll really back down. This war, no, my time…”

It’s already done.

He was too old and too difficult to keep up with the new era.

It was already deeply felt that the cause of France’s defeat was that such old people refused to change and continued to occupy a high position.

If you’re old and can’t keep up with the times, don’t taint your name and step back when you can.

The conquest of Greece seemed to be enough as his last achievement. After all, the Greek army was not like an army, and if it was pushed, it would disintegrate itself.

It was the result of the weakening of the military due to ideological conflicts, domestic chaos, and military intervention during the war, but Wrangel did not know.

It was important not to be a strong enemy.

On the other hand, Turkey is said to be struggling. National anger as a result of the last war rallied the Turks, and they were transformed into powerful elite troops.

Of course, that did not overcome the inferiority of equipment and inferiority of materials. At least it was enough to rot the heads of Rokosovsky and Malinovsky.

The bigger problems were disobedience and sabotage.

Despite considerable exile, many Muslims still live in Russian territory, those who consider themselves Turks.

And, of course, they are extremely hostile to the Russian army.

However, it is not possible to capture and kill all the Muslims while shouting ‘Kill them all, God will choose’ as in the days of the Crusades. However, it was difficult for the Russian Empire to give up the religious holy city of Constantinople. It is something that must be faced with the opposition of the entire Orthodox Church.

He said he was the guardian of the three holy places, and he has made a big nose in the meantime, but if he comes down now, it goes beyond embarrassment and undermines the prestige of the empire.

In the end, the only options for the Russian Empire were forced migration and deportation. The massacre has the eyes of the public, and let alone the cancer inside.

After all, the Russian Empire is a country where freedom before residence is not well guaranteed. At least for the vast majority of people.

In the end, it was the original sin of the Russian Empire, which ate more than it could eat, engrossed in religious glory.

And the Muslims are engaging in non-cooperation, sabotage, and bombing.

The Russian Empire responded by supplying Orthodox militias with weapons and supplies to kill and kill each other.

“When this war is over, Your Majesty will banish all those filthy things.”

Muslims who swore allegiance to the empire are respected. In fact, all the surviving Muslims in Central Asia were treated with high rights. It was enough to even get a seat in the Duma.

To be precise, all those who did not cooperate were either killed or taken to concentration camps. Ironically, in Central Asia, such deaths were more common among Muslims than shot by Russians.

It was thanks to a ‘smart’ response, according to someone who preemptively eliminates those who act in the community, rather than the entire community being ripped off because of those who take action.

However, those who do not choose it… Shouldn’t they be given the proper ‘punishment’?

“Irina.”

“Yes, Peha.”

“Putting aside your Majesty’s voice, isn’t this propaganda too much? It is the rightful power of the Empire.”

What kind of revensraum are you talking about?

“I didn’t make it.”

“Then what?”

“These days, you’re going to college.”

“Are you going to college?”

I glanced at it, and was amazed.

“No… you want to eat all of this territory?”

All over Anatolia, yes, let’s say, all over the Arabian Peninsula, west to Cairo and Alexandria, yes, let’s say so.

But what are we going to do with Iran and Afghanistan and draw a map that borders on India?

“It is possible to draw this sphere of influence if it is limited to wartime. After the war, it is possible to defeat Britain and take responsibility, take over the colonies in the Middle East, make it a vassal country that has deprived it of diplomatic and military powers, completely annex the Anatolian Peninsula, and expel all Turks to Greece.”

“I am not going to Afghanistan.”

Originally, it was said that if you want to destroy the empire, you will go to Afghanistan. Of course, Afghanistan today is a semi-colonial state that has been deprived of diplomatic rights by the British, but it is truly a kingdom.

Besides, the same is true of Saudi Arabia. If you are going to build it, let the Hashemite family, who is a direct line of Muhammad, be a puppet…

“Is this going around in college?”

“Yes that’s right.”

If you run around in college and the government has never artificially promoted this…

‘Did these damn bastards have their brains pickled in soup?’

Or it was because I didn’t have a concept of a real world map and drew it like that.

“Those who are not originally eligible for military service are enlisting voluntarily. Even women. Not only Russians, but also among other ethnic groups, large-scale voluntary enlistment events are taking place, and war donations are pouring in.”

I will turn really.
