Rasputin of the East - Rasputin of the East chapter 176

＜ 176 episodes >

Ankara, Republic of Turkey.

Ataturk shook his head.

“Yeah, Berlin has collapsed… it has collapsed.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Allah.”

All he had to say was this.

He was reluctant to declare war on Russia in the first place.

If you can win, you should. But, like David, he didn’t receive God’s blessing, so shouldn’t he become a fool who attacks Goliath?

However, when the war began, public opinion, which began to go crazy, did not help him at all.

In particular, the opinion of Islamic scholars was strong.

Initially, relations between Ataturk and Islamic theologians were not good. As a Turkic nationalist, he could not even think of accepting the folly of religious fanatics.

Where do you spend a day or two getting fooled?

“We must capture Constantinople as soon as possible!”

“There are 200,000 Russian troops gathered in the area of Constantinople, and they are being supplied by sea through the Black Sea, and the Yugoslav Fleet, including battleships, is thoroughly protecting them from the sea. But by what means are you going to occupy Constantinople?”

With 200,000 horses, a million Turkish troops would be enough to capture the thoroughly fortified Constantinople.

Besides, didn’t the German army collapse without making a sound this time? If even the German army can’t fight it properly, how far behind the Turkish army is?

Can 10 people beat one person? As he had practically commanded the entire army, Ataturk knew it too clearly.

The Russian army never lost this battle. The retreat from northern Anatolia was just a reorganization of the defense line by gathering the troops of Gallipoli and Constantinople, which must be protected, as it was judged difficult to defend.

In my honest opinion….

‘If you ask me to stop at this point…. They’re not going to listen.’

If I had a heart, I wanted to rip those Islamic theologians to death. Isn’t it because they incited public opinion to join the war?

The problem was that Ataturk’s power was not as absolute as in its original history, and although it had the ability to stamp out public opinion once formed, the circumstances did not support it.

However, they still do not understand the reality, and they are making fun of their tongues, such as the need to reclaim Constantinople, and the restoration of Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina.

They don’t have any decent armor, so they’re throwing their soldiers at the defense line built by the Russians with machine guns, but those damn bastards are real.

‘Even if you give me my neck, there is absolutely no way Russia will quietly close its eyes. Damn it.’

The military was very realistic. The Turkish army has already reached the limit of its advance, and if it is not maintained, it will only be pushed out.

And Russia had a pretty high probability of destroying Turkey at all this time.

The dream of the Turkic nation-state will disappear forever.

‘That’s not allowed.’

Really, not quite that much.

Even if the territory is taken away. Even if you are struggling with huge compensation, even if you can’t protect yourself.

It had to be maintained as much as the national body.

But, given the current situation, where is the guarantee that this won’t be the case? In the case of Greece, there was a high possibility of keeping the country alive even as a semi-subordinate country, even if it was cumbersome for Russia to manage it because several countries were sandwiched between them.

However, Turkey’s territory was only the Anatolian Peninsula, and Russia was the only direct border country with the exception of Greece.

What’s wrong with just swallowing Anatolia whole?

Of course, if you ask if there are any humans who increase the land like that… The former tsar of Russia.

‘Still, Empress Olga and King Mikhail are far wiser than their father and father-in-law, maybe they can negotiate.’

I forced myself to think so, but Atatürk also knew that the odds were slim.

It was not that Russia was not swayed by public opinion at all.

Ivan is a young factory worker in his twenties this year.

His father was Ivan, and his grandfather was also Ivan.

In the past, his grandfather, who lived on tenancy, told him about difficult times as a child.

However, as a young Ivan, there were many things that I did not understand. What the hell kind of world was it that you couldn’t easily get a slice of bread?

Now, most households can eat black bread for three meals a day, and meat broth can be tasted once a week, and if you are lucky enough, you can taste the meat. Couldn’t even save him?

I didn’t quite understand what kind of hell it was. Even when he was very young, he said that when he couldn’t discern reason, the world was wider than the world that wasn’t, but he thought that it was just an exaggeration peculiar to old people.

No way, could it really have been that much? It’s still a place for people to live.

My father received farmland through land reform. It was precisely in the form of installments, but when he heard that if the rent was paid in installments over several years, the father heard that it would become ‘my’ land, ‘my’ cattle, and ‘my’ plow. prayed to them.

In any case, when he came to the city, he started working as a symbol of imperial pride, imperial wrath, and the T-32 factory.

Immediately after the shift, Ivan came out of the factory to get some fresh air, and he saw the factory workers gathered together.

Some unlucky ink bastard crawled in, and the moment I approached it, wondering if he was being stripped naked as he did and being hit with a stick, a shout erupted.

“Long live the Russian Empire! Long live Russia!”

“Long live Your Majesty! Long live Her Majesty!”

“hey! take out the drink! You have to drink it on a day like today!”

“Drink! Drink! If you don’t drink on a day like today, when will you drink?”

“What is it? Hey! Markov! What is this?”

“They say Berlin has fallen!”

“What, Berlin? German capital?”

“okay! Besides, the prince did a great job in that battle. After all, is the great bloodline different no matter what? You killed more than three times as many enemies from the heart of the enemy and hung the double-headed eagle flag on the Brandenburg Gate, great.”

“Hey, that’s great, I wish I could have seen it.”

They cannot go to the front line. The reason is simple.

Because the Russian Empire is not in a hurry to send skilled workers to the front line.

That’s why the recruiters didn’t accept them at the recruiting center because of their job, and the recruiters who rejected them last time even comforted others, saying that just by working hard at this position, they would be doing something similar to the soldiers who went out to the front.

“At first I thought, where are some crazy spies still roaming?”

“Well, didn’t they all come out physically fit? If you have any ideas, would you come back to our factory?”

“Well? If you have an idea, you wouldn’t be a spy, would you?”

“I think so, ha ha ha ha!”

Markov was arrogant.

“By the way, is the war over now?”

“What did you hear? Oh, didn’t you hear the show? The Germans fled to Bonn, a few hundred kilometers away, and the British must also take care of them.”

“Well, we’re going to win anyway. The two of His Majesty are so good at warfare, there is no way we can lose.”

“Otherwise, though, it’s fun to open your ears a little bit, isn’t it?”

“I can’t get tired of not knowing where spies go wild like they did 30 years ago. Okay, work is over anyway. I’ll have to buy you some drinks.”

The Russian soup was going crazy.

The only news from the front was victory, victory, and victory.

In the meantime, the protagonists of Russian society have changed.

new generation. Young people who can’t remember Bloody Sunday say that Bloody Sunday is an incident that ruined the war that all the idiots who fell for the instigation of the rednecks and the foolish nobles who failed to do their job properly while the tsar was away.

Although it suffered several defeats in the first place, it was a rough story that Japan was on the verge of surrendering due to the accumulated damage and had no choice but to negotiate because of the rednecks.

It was a story spread for the purpose of ‘Reds are such harmful people!’ rather than anti-Japanese or filling soup, but at the same time, it was a story that suited the taste of the new generation.

In the first place, I don’t know if it was around the time of the Napoleonic Wars, but Russia’s various failures from Crimea to the Russo-Japanese War did not suit their sensibility, which was full of soup.

It’s all because of the gangsters, especially the gangster British. It is also inevitable that the rumors that they stabbed Russia in the back and inflicted serious injuries from behind have spread rapidly.

“It’s not just a bad thing for us. Once the possibility of the communist revolution goes on like this, the source will disappear.”

“Is Britain a redhead?”

“Isn’t that true, isn’t it? Fascism is, after all, a descendant of communism.”

I’ve said it many times, but in this world line, that’s the truth. Also, Nazism has become more reddish than the original history…

The fascists themselves deny that they are the Communist Party, but from the outside it seems…

“Nazi anti-Semitism is basically a line struggle, which can be seen as an ideological struggle between Marxism and non-Marxism.”

Uh… Surprisingly, Irina’s words are quite orthodox in this world.

Didn’t Hitler say that we must save the world from the Judeo-Bolsheviks while oppressing the Jews?

However, as Trotsky, who died last time, was deified, the story spread that the leaders of the gang were made up of Jews. Marx was a Jew, and Trotsky was a Jew. Rosa Luxembourg, a Jew who was executed after unsuccessfully in London riots… It makes sense to think so.

Suddenly, Lenin was also tied up as a set and changed his name to a Jew. Oh My God.

In other words, the official position of the German Empire is that communism is an ideology established by the Jews who caused the Great Depression to rule the world, and that its theoretical foundation consists of Marxism.

And the official position abroad is not very different, to add to that, the fact that the fascists are also rednecks, but that it is a special form of communism that has been differentiated from the previous stage of Marxism.

This is the ‘official position’. Therefore, the oppression of Jews is a struggle for the revolutionary line within the German Empire… What kind of bullshit is this. Is the Holocaust a line struggle between the Jews and the Nazis and a kind of purge?

But the United States and France before the defeat are all taking their official positions, so what can we do?

Anyway, this theory spread to Russia, and the miraculous formula was established: Red = British, German spy, or Jewish minion.

What would happen if this was combined with soup that pierces the sky? If you spread communist ideology to workers, you will be taken to a quiet back alley as soon as you hear a name such as Capitalism or Marx and be lynched by workers who are full of nationalist sentiments, calling you a spy.

“The problem is bigger, and if it continues like this, wouldn’t it be more difficult to issue a general mobilization order?”

“Do you really need it? Anyway, the enthusiasm for volunteers is strong, and it is unlikely that the war will turn around to the point where we will even have to mobilize the people.”

“And in order to meet the expectations of the people, it may be unreasonable to reorganize the industry 100% for wartime.

“Isn’t it possible to import even a small amount of luxury goods from the United States?”

“Huh, you’re a pain in the ass.”

It is not easy to rule while watching the eyes of the subjects.

“At least Germany should be finished soon. Intensify the bombing of the Ruhr… No, this is what I direct Novikov to. Well done.”

“no. your majesty.”
