Reincarnated as Nikolai II

Chapter 200 The Alliance is Shutting Down (18)

That's what Reds were to Kokovtsov in this era.

Just one existing in a family.

Just staying in a village for one day.

Beings treated as all stained red together.

"I still don't agree with your claims at all but... Give me some time."

"Investigation is fine and consideration is fine but keep in mind. In 11 months, British forces won't be able to fight standing on both feet in Europe."

Though Asquith still showed no acknowledgment or agreement.

'...You'll have to select the sacrifice well.'

'You bastards, do you want a British version of Dreyfus?'

'So try fabricating it well without showing. That's what you're good at, right?'

Unlike the beginning when he raged calling it nitpicking, his now shabby appearance tells.

The fact that Britain will continue the war even if it has to cut off one of its pieces.

The more Russia rampages, like a firefly shining beautiful light, all that light illuminates himself.

"Even if we use the trump card of deserting the battlefield, we'll win this war anyway."

Rather, Churchill thought it wouldn't be bad if Russia pulled out of the Eastern Front completely.

If Russia withdraws, naturally Paris will fall and France will join this anti-Russian ranks.

The United States? They probably won't directly join the anti-Russian ranks but public opinion will lean that way.

The war will become difficult.

Probably many soldiers will die.

'This is right in the long term!'

In just a few weeks, something that could be called conviction was completed in Churchill's heart.

Anyway, the strongest move Russia can make is ending the war, not switching sides.

Considering current Russian internal anti-German sentiment and continuing war with the Central Powers, they can't switch sides overnight.

By this point, Churchill completely came to the forefront and started tearing down Russia.

"You all, just what wrong have I done for you to do this?"

"Investigation into anti-state activities is ongoing. Please cooperate."

"..."

At the unimaginable charge, Churchill lost even words to object.

"...I'm, a Red? Haha, there must be some misunderstanding!"

Though he tried to act nonchalant as if it was ridiculous, sweat kept flowing from Churchill's forehead.

'This is fabrication. Must be slander. No, there couldn't be anyone in Britain who would believe this in the first place!'

However, another strange statement flowed from the military police walking with him.

"IRA (Irish Republican Army) bastards confessed and reported you. The intelligence department has also started internal audit."

"You believe IRA's words? Isn't it because my grandfather beat them so much during his time as Irish Viceroy that they said such things? And me, a core of the British government, tried to cause a proletarian revolution by framing Russia, an absolute monarchy? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Then did you instigate Jewish-Slavism?"

"Is this a problem where I have to choose one of the two? Neither, I tell you!"

Even while continuing the conversation, Churchill started organizing his situation and position by fitting information together in his head as much as possible.

The military police looking at such Churchill sighed briefly then whispered in his ear.

"It's better to just stay quietly at home for now. The Prime Minister too. No, the ruling party. Opposition party, military, even those above encompassing all of them want it that way."

"...Did the Prime Minister send you. How long do I have to stay cooped up at home?"

"For now, they said to tell you until the war ends."

Until the war ends.

That means this damn house arrest will continue for at least a year.

Only then did Churchill feel like he saw the substance of this impossible false charge.

'My, my anti-Russian stance! My preemption!'

Even if released innocent.

Even if no suspicious points are found.

If the war ends like this, his position would be gone.

He was already a body splashed with bright red paint.
