Chapter 422

#422. You have to admit it.

* * *

The birth of the New Revolutionary Army.

The news spread quickly.

The revolutionary government tried to block the rumors somehow, but it could not stop the new revolutionary army using all kinds of media from broadcasting to the Internet.

Responses were varied.

Members of the party denounced it for causing a dispute in a turbulent city.

Soldiers prayed for the safe release of captured federal soldiers.

However, the overwhelming response among them was empathy and support for the New Revolutionary Army.

“Federal troops ransacked? Then you don’t know when our city will be sacked too?”

“I heard that the revolutionary government was an accident…”

“How can you believe that the government is not lying for a day or two?”

“Isn’t that the story of the Russian Khanate?”

“They are those guys. What would be the difference between the guys who ordered a lot of work, took away what they had, and even plundered?”

Citizens of the occupied territories were still dissatisfied with Moscow’s forced conscription and coercive attitude.

In particular, workers whose work intensity increased after the revolution openly criticized the revolutionary government at this time.

And some of the zealous soldiers of the federal forces stationed in each city did not hesitate to give such impure elements a taste of justice.

repression by the military.

Victims of resistance.

An explosion of dissatisfaction that has accumulated so far.

The result was simultaneous riots and uprisings in numerous cities.

Federal forces moved urgently to stop the riots, but were insufficient to put the situation under control peacefully.

As there was a precedent for Ishim, it was all the more because the revolutionary government strictly restricted the use of firearms.

Some troops are gearing up for suppression.

Somewhere, federal forces are retreating.

In some cases, they are rather subdued by citizens.

The worst of all the chaos was the unit that went against the government’s policy and took a tough response.

“Open fire!”

“But the party’s order is…”

“Shut up! Those who watched our revolution now blame the Federation? Those reactionaries are enemies of the Union!”

Tadadadang!

Whether the suppression succeeded or failed.

The fact that the federal forces shot civilians again made matters worse.

Eventually, within a few days, the number of cities that joined the New Revolutionary Army increased to dozens.

Most of the city, which the revolutionary government managed to obtain through all sorts of hardships by squeezing the national capacity, was taken away overnight.

And, of course, that fact reached outside the Soviet Union.

So it was.

While I was pecking at the crembo.

Why did Yuna-kyung blink her eyes?

[Ummm… So, the revolution broke out again to break down the oppression of the revolutionary government that arose to break down the dictatorship?]

“That’s right.”

[…It’s a complete mess?]

It hasn’t been long since the revolution took place.

Why could a double revolution already take place?

Ainsha said expressionlessly to Yuna-gyeong, who was dumbfounded.

“It’s like Yekatrice.”

[Is this mess made by that badass sister?]

“Not all of it. Still, most of these riots must have been cleverly orchestrated by Yekathrice.”

[Is that possible?]

Yuna-kyung was dubious.

Of course, the princess of the Seven Dragons was a superhuman of the absolute class who could overturn the country with her own power.

However, such simultaneous riots are not possible with force alone.

We need to thoroughly understand the public sentiment and adjust it.

However, in a situation where there is no other clan, let alone an aide, she who seems to have no interest in the hearts of the people, is doing this alone.

It was honestly hard to believe.

“it’s possible.”

But Ainsha insisted.

I don’t know if it’s another princess, but if it’s her, it’s possible.

“Yekatrice is a genius. In particular, he is better than Li Qingyu at finding and bullying others.”

If it had been Li Qingyu, it would have been more efficient.

Even if it takes a little more time.

skillfully manipulate public sentiment.

Fuck the revolutionary government.

In the end, he must have made all the high-ranking party members, including the general secretary, into puppets without being revealed on the outside.

On the other hand, Yekatrice has moderate heating.

After oppressing the revolutionary army, he entered the revolutionary army, helped the revolutionary government, and raised a new revolutionary army.

It’s not even consistent and it’s fickle.

But because of that, she was a more difficult opponent, even if she wasn’t as dangerous as Li Qingyu.

Neglecting efficiency.

Even putting off one’s own purpose.

Because Yekathrice was a lunatic who could improvise the most painful thing for her opponent.

[And this time, the target has become a revolutionary government?]

“To be precise, it is the Soviet Union.”

[…A dictator princess who made an entire country a target of sadism, is there any sadist sister like that?

] It is not my responsibility.”

Indeed, Ainsha passed on the responsibility like a master of escape.

Yuna-gyeong, who was dumbfounded at seeing her, let out a sigh.

[Anyway, the world is really a gist. They only ran away, but now they are in a situation where they can win the war.]

The Federal Army, which had been marching through Siberia until a few days ago to somehow catch up with the Russian Army, who kept running away.

But now they were roaming around.

Every time the federal army occupied a city, it absorbed troops and increased the original 100,000 troops to nearly 300,000.

The problem was that the troops originally belonged to the revolutionary army in each city.

It was only natural that the federal army was in chaos as it was a situation where the placenta of troops might sympathize with the New Revolutionary Army and cause internal strife.

In the midst of this, what if Ainsha launches a counterattack?

Even if there were only 10,000 troops, let alone 300,000, it would be possible to win a complete victory against the federal army.

It was an unfunny situation that Seungri rolled into on his own as he just ran away.

“We don’t know yet if we will win.”

[Yes?]

“The war is not over yet. The win or loss has not been announced yet.”

[I think this is enough?]

“I keep that in mind. The war is not over until it is over.”

While Yuna-kyung blinked her eyes.

Ainsha opened her mouth with an expressionless face as she looked at the distant western sky with her transparent shining eyes.

“In that sense, there is something for you to do.”

[…yes? Me?]

* * *

The Kremlin.

Until a few months ago, it was a place of terror as a dictator’s palace.

After the establishment of the Soviet Union, it was a place where everyone passed by proudly as a symbol of the revolution.

but this moment.

There was no such thing as pride in those in the Kremlin.

Instead, it is gloomy.

A fire broke out in a house whose windows were broken in the storm, and when they managed to put it out, they were enveloped in despair and despondency like those of Lee Jae-min who heard that a tsunami was coming.

And among them, it was Sergei’s office that was surrounded by the darkest atmosphere.

“Did you say you went all the way to St. Petersburg?”

“yes.”

“Brother Mikhail has been good at commanding since his days in the Revolutionary Army, but his troops couldn’t even earn time?”

“…According to the announcement of the New Revolutionary Army, Brother Mikhail surrendered himself after receiving sincere persuasion.”

“I see… I forgot that the leader of the Revolutionary Army in St. Petersburg was Brother Mikhail’s younger brother.”

Originally, Mikhail was the person dispatched to govern St. Petersburg more smoothly using blood ties.

Rather, I would have thought that we would lose division-level power because of that.

It was a bitter loss for the Commonwealth, which still lacked a reliable force.

“Now, the forces of the New Revolutionary Army can no longer be said to be less than ours.”

Bachemensky could not bear to deny Sergei’s words.

Saint Petersburg is the largest city next to Moscow.

If you add up the other cities you have passed so far, the power of the New Revolutionary Army is already on par with the revolutionary government.

No, considering that an uprising may break out anytime in the remaining cities, it has already surpassed the revolutionary government in terms of territory and numbers.

So, the members of the Revolutionary Party must have a dark atmosphere.

Besides, there was one more fact that made them feel ashamed.

“I still can’t believe it. I can’t believe the Elshar sisters did this…”

Elshar.

Of course, he has supported the government with his genius talent.

A girl who showed more passion for the revolution than any other party member.

Although the years together may not be long, the appearance I have seen so far is enough to believe that she is more serious about the revolution than anyone else.

That’s why, when he found out that Elshar was the leader of the New Revolutionary Army.

The shock they received was great.

Even in the fact that they have aroused suspicion that their revolution may have gone wrong.

Even in the sense that he had to do all the crazy administrative work without her.

However, Sergei did not show much shock at the fact itself.

I just asked quietly,

“Apart from Sister Elshar, what about Brother Reno? Or is he also active in the New Revolutionary Army?”

“I don’t know. However, considering that the Elshar sisters are the leaders of the New Revolutionary Army and that the Reno brothers have already disappeared, maybe…”

“…Is that so.”

Why?

It was as if I had heard an ultimatum.

Sergey closed his eyes with a heavy face, and spoke again after a while.

“How do you think the odds are for us now, the Bachemenski brothers?”

“Are you planning to fight the New Revolutionary Army?”

“…”

“Honestly, there is no chance.”

“Should we still have the upper hand in terms of power?”

“It’s just a military history on paper, and the public sentiment is already turning toward the New Revolutionary Army.”

Bachemensky sighed.

With the absence of Elshar, the messy administration is now impossible to solve without the help of the spirits.

Moreover, even in Moscow there are signs of an uprising.

In the midst of this, if they went to war with the New Revolutionary Army, they would have to gamble on which one would be ruined first: financial difficulties, administrative difficulties, or internal betrayal.

Even if you defeat the New Revolutionary Army, what will happen after that?

Can a revolutionary government that oppressed the people be supported?

Above all, which Russian Khanate did not shed a drop of blood?

If they stop running and go on the offensive, how will a civil war-torn Federation survive?

“Sir, you have to admit it now.”

Knowing that there is only one answer to that question, Bachemensky spoke quietly.

A fact that everyone already knows.

However, to reveal the words that I couldn’t bear to say.

“Our revolution has failed.”

“…is it.”

Because I didn’t even know about it myself.

Hearing Bachemensky’s words, Sergei was neither angry, nor agitated, nor discouraged.

I just muttered quietly.

“We must have failed.”

A man who devoted his whole life to the revolution.

However, Bachemensky bowed his head as he saw Sergei, who was now the subject of a revolution by citizens who wanted to give freedom and equality.

And I thought.

I wonder why it happened like this.

‘…If only I had money.’

Revolution Day.

Unless the dictator had taken everything and ran away.

So, if it had the minimum amount of finances, the revolutionary government would have been able to stabilize public sentiment and run state affairs in a stable manner as planned.

However, because they risked several groups to secure insufficient finances, they creaked from the start.

‘If only I could have fought.’

I’d rather fight the Russians.

If he won, he would have been able to gain the public’s sympathy.

As soon as they lost, they would have been able to unite public sentiment with a sense of crisis.

However, because the Russian army continued to run away, they had to keep pouring in military supplies for a cosmetic victory, and rather lost public sentiment.

Because of the bloodless revolution.

Because he was victorious in the war.

Rather, at the ironic reality that the revolution had failed, Bachemensky had no choice but to put on a bitter expression.

So it was.

This is the reason why Sergei raised his head again without realizing it.

“But the revolution doesn’t end just because we failed.”

“…teacher?”

What the hell is there to do in this situation?

Sergei did not bother to explain to Bachemensky, who was puzzled.

He just opened his mouth in a heavy voice as he took out a small box from his bosom and put it down.

“I have one last request for you, Brother Bachemensky.”
