I Became the Last Princess of the Brown Bear Kingdom

If I become Prime Minister, I feel like they’ll end up just messing around, thinking they can do whatever I want. Whatever, they’ll handle things however they like later.

Besides, looking at Alisa Rosenbaum now, I feel like she’d actually get things done even if I gave her orders.

If I end up not liking what she’s doing later, I can just question her about it.

“But it seems like you have something you want to ask?”

She looked like she had something on her mind.

As I stood up and prepared to head outside for a stroll, Alisa Rosenbaum followed me with quick little steps like a chick chasing its mother hen, clearly curious about something.

“I just found it a bit odd that you encouraged Israel to participate. Wouldn’t Balhae Army or Japanese Army have been better military choices?”

That’s true. The Balhae Army is pretty strong.

After all, they were nurtured by the Russian Army directly, and Lee Beom-seok, known as the Korean Ungern, is said to have commanded armored units quite effectively.

But Balhae might find it tough to engage in war again right now.

First of all, it was originally a colony. It will take some time to manage the country entirely.

Of course, a poor nation can only offer manpower, but that’s ultimately their limit.

“In Balhae’s case, they already compromised by providing weapon support rather than participating directly, and if they were to use the Western Japan Army as supporting soldiers, the National Government would really lose its mandate. On the other hand, Israel has no ties to China whatsoever. It wouldn’t be bad to receive military support from such a country.”

And if you ask me if the Western Japan Army is a strong military, honestly, I dunno.

Of course, it could be sufficient against China, but considering the National Government is already struggling, bringing in the Japanese Army as support? That would be amusing, but the National Government wouldn’t survive like that.

Then, it would just give the warlords who lacked any foundation a reason to fight.

So if Korea and Japan don’t work, it’s better to have Israel for the future.

I think it would be fun if Israel took Shanghai. I feel like there’s going to be a clash between Jews and Chinese nationalism.

But who cares? We wouldn’t lose anything either way.

We’re going to hand over land anyway. What difference does it make whether we give it to Israel or someone else?

“From that perspective, Israel seems to be the best choice.”

“Yeah. If we do this, China won’t have a chance to gain the upper hand this time either.”

Even if the Israeli army isn’t defeated, we would need to approach things in a new way. At that point, we would definitely need the Peacekeeping Forces to intervene.

Then the next problem would be Japan.

“Do you think the Japanese Civil War won’t end quickly?”

“You think so?”

It seems Alisa Rosenbaum also believes the civil war will end soon.

I still think the Japanese Civil War is a gamble.

At least, I see a possibility that the civil war itself might not last long, but since Trotsky is involved, and the U.S. has only made Eastern Japan a puppet state without actual control, the U.S. military doesn’t really know every nook and cranny of the region.

Even though Patton has been dispatched quickly, can he really ride tanks and smash through every mountain in Japan?

Asking that changes the context a bit.

“After all, General Patton has been quite active during the KFC incident and even in our civil war.”

Our Alisa seems to know quite a bit about that too.

“That’s true.”

Let’s think about the possibility of a delay. Who knows? The U.S. might focus more on South America for a while and temporarily put Japan on the back burner.

That means they might abandon Japan.

In the worst-case scenario, there’s also the Ezo Republic, and we originally said we wouldn’t set our sights on Eastern Japan. The U.S. could scold Japan later on.

It could mean they might hit Argentina in South America first. Isn’t Argentina more important than Eastern Japan right now?

“And how about looking into the Black settlement areas? Since you came here, I assume you have a bundle of stuff to say about the Duma or the Rome Treaty Organization?”

“That will probably be handled at the Rome Treaty Organization’s headquarters. I heard Prime Minister Churchill is encouraging Black migration towards India and China.”

“Oh really?”

Did they really think I would just hand over the Falklands?

Even if we say we’d give up the Falklands, the UK wouldn’t exactly allow it. If they retaliate, it’s impossible to give it up.

But recently, with Greenland being handed over to the U.S., there might be possibilities opening up. Maybe Churchill got a spark from that.

So I suppose he’s trying hard to prevent any potential problems. Honestly, I didn’t worry much about it, but I’m glad he’s tackling it earnestly.

Hey, if only everyone acted like Churchill, that would be awesome.

“Yes. It seems like they’re short on workers in India, and with the warlords in China, the condition is that they won’t sell weapons to the National Government.”

Short on workers? Hm, that’s something any place like India or China could think about.

“India is practically free labor; it’s a condition that’s definitely doable.”

That’s something we can accept.

Though India has a huge population, the country is completely fragmented right now, so there must be motives for each part to increase its own class.

This will ensure that Africa is managed as stably as possible in the future.

Since the map would get messy, it’s better to govern under a single color or something like that.

“And as you Majesty said.”

“What about?”

What could that be referring to?

The only thing that comes to mind is Argentina, but, ah, could it be about Argentina?

“I just got contact from the treaty fleet responsible for transporting to Argentina, and suddenly, the transport ships were either seized by Black people or sank unexpectedly.”

Once again, my gut feeling turned out to be spot on. Suddenly sinking or dying.

You don’t have to be an idiot to figure out what that means, right?

“The transport ships seized by Black people would’ve been wiped out by the Argentine Navy.”

The Atlantic fish must have had a feast.

This is something I’d rate highly.

It’s like Eva Perón ended up doing something crazy that I didn’t even think of.

By doing this, it would minimize the number of Black people being sent. Eva Perón herself will probably draw blood to fix Argentina.

Yeah. If her approval rating drops, that’s what she’ll have to do.

“Still, we can’t help our transport ships, so her approval ratings will surely drop.”

Right now, I feel like Eva Perón would do something to regain that rating.

What exactly that would be, we should keep an eye on.

I was getting the sense that something was about to blow up soon.

“Speaking of which, I heard not long ago that the Argentine military underwent a purge.”

Not long ago, there was a purge in the military? That sounds strange; ‘they purged the military that opposed Eva Perón.’

It’s reminiscent of the purging of those who opposed Hitler, why is that?

With no Nazi Hitler around, does that mean in this place, Eva Perón takes his place?

But really, it’s just South America, right? I feel like there’s a limit to how far that can go, and besides, the U.S. wouldn’t want to just watch as their area gets taken over either.

Well, I guess they’ll figure it out.

I just hope that later on, Eva Perón doesn’t come crying to me asking for support, shouting “Wuaang Anaemon!”

I’ll allow only weapons, seriously. Will Eva Perón have statues made of her like Goebbels did later?

Suddenly, I turned my gaze to the direction where skyscrapers are being built; it seems they’re in the midst of construction because various things have started to pop up at a distance.

“It seems the skyscraper is starting to take shape.”

I’d say I quite like that.

“Yes. It’s about time it gets built. The statue of your goddess has also been specifically placed. This is how it is planned to be made.”

Like a Mother Homeland statue, no, even more sacred, majestic, and compassionate, with a laurel crown on her head.

It would be somewhat funny if such a great woman was actually just a guy wearing a hoodie, wandering around post-nuclear war and farming day by day in her previous life.

“If this skyscraper is successfully built, the workers who participated in the construction and the French designer who made the blueprints will receive medals and rewards.”

Once built, the skyscraper would indeed look quite grand.

I don’t know if it’ll reach the level of the Statue of Liberty, but oh well.

“Yes. That’s what I will do.”

“We just need to keep an eye on things for now.”

For the time being, we can just watch the construction of that skyscraper.

In about five years, won’t the Rome Treaty fully integrate to the point that borders are rendered meaningless?

There’s a document that has come up from the headquarters of the Rome Treaty Organization.

After the decolonization, to calm the chaos that arose, a policy for the integration of Europe for the next ten years will be implemented.

Until then, we’ve entered a time of integration. It’s the ten years of Europe.

* * *

The Rome Treaty Organization, for a period of time, focused on internal integration without worrying about outside matters.

Germany and the Danube Federation underwent post-war recovery, completing decolonization and economic integration, while politics unified under the headquarters of the Rome Treaty Organization.

Uniform military uniforms were standardized in the same color, with designs made by Hitler, who passed the Prime Minister position to Goering.

Railways connected from Portugal’s Lisbon, crossing through Spain and France to Moscow, and even the English Channel was set to begin a sea tunnel leading to the Normandy railways.

While the Rome Treaty diligently unified Europe, the situations in India, China, Japan, and South America were dire.

In India, signs of civil war were showing within the Bharat Republic, and other countries also displayed signs of conflict.

Thus, the Rome Treaty provided infrastructure support in exchange for accepting Black citizens in those countries.

There were overflowing populations in India anyway.

As long as development could be achieved, it was thought that adding a Black population wouldn’t matter.

Meanwhile, in China.

“With Korea already being a concern, the Rome Treaty must prevent merchants from interfering.”

“Conscripting Black people wouldn’t be a bad idea either.”

The initial battle between the warlords and the National Government was thought to be easy, with the warlord alliance collapsing the National Army led by the National Government’s famed general, Tang Shengzhi.

However, the fighting with the National Government was stiffening due to Israel’s participation and weapon sales from Balhae.

The Israeli army, while only amounting to 20,000, had formidable combat capabilities.

The warlord armies, which fought with human wave tactics like during the Second Sino-Japanese War, were brutally slaughtered in front of the high-quality Israeli troops.

With forces also deployed from the National Government army brought in from the border with Qing, the situation grew genuinely even.

But that was all.

Neither side secured an advantage, and the war soaked itself in blood for years, while the Israeli troops caused all sorts of havoc in the National Government area under the guise of carrying out a holy war.

Unable to withdraw from the fight due to the Israeli military performing so well, the National Government had no choice but to tolerate the disorder occurring within their territory to some extent.

Meanwhile, in Argentina, a military purge event, known as the Night of the Sun, unfolded, supposedly heralding the rise of a new sun.

“Cough! Why on earth are you doing this to us!”

“You’ve opposed us every step of the way. So you must die.”

Under the influence of Anastasia, the notion of dying early weighed heavily on Eva Perón, who conducted the military purge as rapidly as possible while looking after her health.

Afterward, she powerfully armed and improved the quality of the Argentine army through the military advisory from the Rome Treaty Organization.

Missiles were also deployed along the border with Brazil, and in response, Brazil was organizing its military with U.S. support.

Eva Perón disregarded Brazil’s actions and, with her husband, established the South American Cooperative Organization, demanding countries such as Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Peru to join the South American Cooperative Organization.

“Our Argentina has learned a lot from the Rome Treaty Organization, and I, Eva Perón, have such a close friendship with His Majesty the Tsar of Russia that I even call her my sister in private. Together with my husband, I aim to create an organization for South America, like the Rome Treaty. I hope the countries of South America can cooperate with us.”

While her words sounded plausible, what she was really saying was hardly different from a threat since behind her stood the Rome Treaty Organization.

This was something that arose while the U.S. was tied up with Japan.

As the ominous atmosphere loomed over the South American continent, Japan’s situation also turned strangely.

“What? Military support is difficult?”

Patton chuckled in disbelief at the slap on the back of his head.

“Yes. It seems like they are focusing more on South America back home. However, at least they are providing weapons, so we should be satisfied with the current situation for a bit, right?”

Be content with the current situation? Patton snickered at MacArthur, far across the Pacific.

Did they not know the situation here at all?

“What, are you saying just to leave the Reds be? Our best defense right now is to deal with them! We need to take care of them quickly before they grow strong enough to overturn the government!”

These idiots still haven’t come to their senses; they need to be taken care of!

“Unfortunately, back home, they seem unaware of the risks.”

“Dammit.”

Patton threw off his helmet in frustration, scratching his head furiously.

Patton wanted to end the current military forces as easily as possible, but things weren’t moving so smoothly.

Though military numbers are limited, those damn Reds keep multiplying every day.

The Reds are that kind of entity. If you don’t squash them early, they’ll keep growing until they can overturn the government.

Just leaving those cockroaches be.

“So what does the esteemed MacArthur think?”

No matter how I see it, this guy seems to be making poor judgments.

Fighting the Reds should be the goal of the United States, and now he wants to focus on South America?
