I Became the Last Princess of the Brown Bear Kingdom

**National Duma**

The President and First Lady of Argentina have come to negotiate with our Duma.

“So how do you wish for us to help?”

“Please send a military advisory team from the forces of the Rome Treaty that fought in the European Great War to Argentina.”

“To Argentina?”

With the aid of the Rome Treaty, we will build up our military.

Sure, I can understand that much.

“I simply request various weapons as well.”

“You mean selling weapons?”

You certainly have quite a lot of wishes.

Our decorations are still overflowing, and anything we transfer to China can be handled by Balhae, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

“Our Argentina will grow stronger in South America and will contain the United States as a partner of the Rome Treaty.”

Isn’t this exactly like the Balhae Federation?

Isn’t it the South American version of the Balhae Federation, declaring to be an ally of Russia to guard against the United States in the Pacific from the Far East?

Hmm, yeah. Let me hear more. I decided to listen through the Duma for a bit longer.

“Please continue.”

“I understand that many ships will be decommissioned after the war. While we currently lack the ability to repay, please sell a fleet to our Argentina’s navy and advanced fighter aircraft from Europe.”

This is like saying they want to go to war.

Of all things, asking for ships. It’s not too hard from our perspective since there are many decommissioned, but the U.S. has produced plenty during the war, right?

Even if we sell a few, it won’t be enough to contend.

When it comes to military proficiency, there’s certainly a significant gap, but just based on sheer numbers, the American fleet is more threatening.

“Are you saying you want to start a war in South America?”

This is a bit strange; effectively, it means South American countries would be fighting each other under the support of the U.S. and the Rome Treaty.

It’s not the Korean War, but wouldn’t it be a battle over each other’s spheres of influence?

Now that I see it, both the President and First Lady’s eyes are filled with ambition.

“We’re not simply thinking of war. Brazil has already reached out to the U.S. At this rate, our Argentina will face pressure from the United States.”

I see. The U.S. is backing Brazil. Can Brazil and Argentina truly fight each other?

“Hmm. Is that so?”

It’s a natural sequence of events. Can MacArthur push this through because of his military regime?

Probably, the U.S. will be a bit more resolute than in actual history.

Europe has united and boldly proposes to divide the world, so the U.S. has no choice but to step up to protect its territory immediately.

But, you know. I’ve already made promises with MacArthur.

If the U.S. maintains an ambiguous class, can it be a rival against the Rome Treaty later?

Of course, this side will struggle with decolonization and integration for a while, but the U.S. lands are a tremendous asset. Hmmm.

Unfortunately, I am Anastasia, but I’ve lived over 20 years in the eastern civilized country of Hell-Joseon.

Therefore, I know how to uphold integrity.

In truth, the answer was already set. I had already told MacArthur about sending a military advisory group or weapons to Argentina.

“We also have our relations with the United States to consider, so this isn’t a decision that can be made right away. For now, let’s leave it at this.”

I couldn’t speak to the President and First Lady about confidential discussions with the U.S. Here, I need to consider how to benefit from that.

“Please examine this positively.”

I sent Juan and Eva Perón on a full-course tour of Moscow. The National Duma was operating at full capacity.

Argentina’s support request.

In return, we can drop black people en masse into Argentina.

That is, of course, on the condition of sending weapons and military advisors.

The U.S. is behind Brazil and has its issues, but ultimately, this is a business matter.

But what does the Duma think about this?

How can we turn this into something enjoyable to use? I decided to hear from our Duma students.

“Alright. Let’s hear what everyone has to say.”

“We already promised the U.S. not to meddle in South America. Furthermore, if Your Majesty wishes to strengthen the U.S. as a rival to the Rome Treaty, it would require the entirety of the American continent to fall under U.S. control.”

Even though Canada can’t be done due to the Commonwealth, we could give up Central and South America.

The Duma agrees with that.

“Are we then ignoring Argentina’s request?”

“Dividing is dividing, but while keeping the U.S. in check, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to create tension between the U.S. and the Rome Treaty.”

Wait a second. Something is suddenly coming to mind.

“What is the current weapon level of the U.S.?”

I jumped into the middle of the Duma meeting.

The U.S. has probably been working hard on weapon development. They’ve had technology transfers, so I feel like I might come up with something good here.

“They are still somewhat behind us. Their missile technology is like child’s play compared to ours. They seem to have secured nuclear weapons, though.”

“Then, what about the weapons used in the Great War?”

I’m having a brilliant idea right now.

If we use this, we can maximize our profits.

“We’re still ahead of the U.S. in weapons. They had technology transfers, but during the war, they bought and urgently used a lot of our weapons.”

“Is that so?”

Somehow, I feel like a good plan is bubbling up.

Before I know it, a devious smile spread across my face.

“Why don’t we support Argentina with our latest tanks, rifles, and aircraft?”

We currently have an overabundance of weapons.

The newest developments have become mere decorations.

Let’s generously offer our support.

“Excuse me? Wouldn’t it be dangerous if we give too much?”

“The U.S. might protest against us.”

“If they complain about us breaking our promise, wouldn’t that be a problem?”

That’s true. Those folks were whining about Eisenhower during the last time with South Vietnam, right?

I can understand that to a certain extent, and I’m thinking of taking advantage of it.

“While we’ve mentioned raising the U.S. as a rival, shouldn’t we also grab some profit for ourselves?”

We talked about growing the U.S. as a rival to the Rome Treaty, but we should also make some money.

After all, we are abandoning the Argentina that relies on us and handing over all of South America; we should get something for our weapons.

“What method do you have in mind?”

The plan is quite simple.

For example, let’s assume Argentina rises up with the weapons we provided. Then, regardless of what, the U.S. will get a justification to conquer Argentina by force.

The U.S. will try to fight Argentina, whether by mobilizing South American countries or directly intervening, and given the differences in weaponry, the U.S. will likely be at a disadvantage.

At that point, we intervene. We could sell weapons to the U.S. or even transfer technology to them.

The U.S. is either striving for internal stability or delaying weapon development for the sake of social spending abroad.

Isn’t that a good method? We can rake in some dough.

With that, it would be great to set up some infrastructure in decolonized Africa.

“That’s—”

I explained my plan to the Duma.

If the U.S. complains, I’d say, “Oh, I didn’t realize there was such a difference in weaponry.” Wouldn’t that work?

Honestly, I don’t think Argentina can defeat the U.S.

After all, there’s a difference in class. Argentina can’t hope to win against a U.S. that deliberately tries to enter war.

Unless the Rome Treaty truly steps in to help.

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

“After all, the U.S. will eventually catch up to us, so we might as well earn as much money as we can.”

Exactly. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

We act to maximize our profits. That should be sufficient.

“In the end, the world revolves around money.”

American gold is quite appealing.

Even if there’s a chance that the U.S. doesn’t think that way, it wouldn’t be bad for us to annoy the U.S. as much as possible.

If we’re making them a rival, we must keep them in check too.

“Then we’re making money and getting rid of the African Black people. Sounds good.”

Yes. Exactly that.

If we extend our hand, they will inevitably respond.

As long as we maintain a semblance of goodwill and maintain a close relationship, they will accept all the black people to keep up relations with us.

Hmm, it sounds quite plausible, doesn’t it?

“Right. If there are people who want to relocate elsewhere, we can support them, as per Prime Minister Churchill’s suggestion, and send them to India or China.”

If necessary, we can send them off anywhere.

We only need to keep the African population manageable for the barren continent of Africa to cope.

The black people sent to other countries will either assimilate and live or die off there. It will be one or the other.

Ethiopia will also require some attention.

Either way, it won’t do us any harm.

“For us, the decolonization effort will become easier.”

In fact, some proposals have come up for moving African black people to Europe.

But I know what kind of disaster that caused, so that cannot happen.

**Washington D.C.**

Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., the visit of the Argentine President and First Lady to Moscow was viewed quite sensitively.

Recently, the U.S. had been expanding into South America, but Argentina has quickly reached out to Russia.

“How should we view the visit of the Argentine President and First Lady to Moscow?”

“Yes. It appears to be related to the recent black migration issue.”

“If that is the case, they could just keep in touch. Why is that?”

“Isn’t there something fishy going on?”

Honestly, I was expecting this.

The U.S. has influence in South America, so those fools must be trying to distance themselves from U.S. control by getting close to the Rome Treaty—one could think of it that way.

The problem is that Argentina is not just an ordinary country.

Argentina is nominally one of the strong nations in South America.

Although the U.S. is backing Brazil, Argentina is no push-over either.

And that Argentina has brazenly strengthened its relations with the Rome Treaty.

“Hmm, haven’t we been supporting Brazil recently?”

Ultimately, this is a move to contain the U.S. Right now, the Rome Treaty is struggling with decolonization.

After all, the decolonization effort takes a long time.

Other places might not be as problematic, especially with the black issue in Africa.

Wouldn’t it be something to get the support of the Rome Treaty under the precondition of accepting large-scale migration of black people?

“That is perhaps very likely.”

“I see. Is it to check us?”

That makes sense, but that deathly saint would try to maximize her benefits while still upholding agreements with the U.S.

“But doesn’t she have an agreement with Russia?”

“Indeed.”

Considering Anastasia’s character, there are surely some suspicious aspects of it.

She might be trying to solidify her known position to the world on the surface.

So, she would likely accept the visit of the Argentine couple.

Then, what they discuss will be crucial, yet we currently have no knowledge of it at all.

With this situation, all we can do is increase support for Brazil.

“Let’s keep watching for now.”

Yes. We’ll just observe for now.

Regardless of what happens, as long as Argentina approaches the Rome Treaty, we’ve secured a reason to intervene at any time.

**Alright, it’s time to wrap up negotiations with Argentina.**

By now, they should know, our U.S. has not reacted at all.

At the very least, that must mean they intend to observe us voyeuristically. But, today there was a schedule with Eva Perón from the morning.

“Isn’t it appropriate to hold a tea party, considering she’s the First Lady?” Maria’s opinion seemed plausible, so I went along with it.

Watching Eva Perón, sharing tea, made me feel a bit pressured.

“It is truly an honor to meet you like this, Your Majesty.”

That sparkling gaze of respect. We were thinking of parting ways, but it’d be awkward to receive such a gaze.

“Is that so?”

I don’t find this honorable at all. What am I lacking that I have to sit with a loose woman who flaunts herself as the First Lady?

It’s not that sitting with her is dirty. It just isn’t.

After all, infidelity is surprisingly common in this era.

It’s pretty common to be free and bodily promiscuous. Yes. But she is called a saint in Argentina, isn’t she?

And I am also a saint.

What am I lacking to be on the same level as this woman? By any measure, I’m a far cleaner individual compared to her.

“Your Majesty’s worker welfare policies are truly innovative.”

Oh, right. She did that well.

“I’ve heard that the First Lady has pursued various welfare policies for the poor.”

“Ahaha. It’s nothing special. As the President’s wife, it’s just something I’m expected to do.”

She’s rejecting compliments while cheerfully chatting. She seems to have some charm too.

Thinking about it, she became the First Lady at quite a young age.

“You’re truly impressive at such a young age.”

At my words, Eva Perón looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, “You’re saying that?”
