Chapter 119 Far East Colonialism Part 5: Meeting Alexander

Moscow.

Inside the Kremlin.

Alexander II looked at the financial statements in his hand, his brow furrowed.

"Does that Far East general really not take me seriously? He's not even willing to put on a show anymore, is he?"

"I've had so many telegrams sent to him, and we've even got through on the phone now, but he hasn't sent me a single ruble."

"Does he really want to cause a split between the Far East and our Russian bear?"

The finance minister said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, although I am reluctant to admit it, this may be the truth."

"According to the latest news, the population of the entire Far East region has now exceeded 2000 million."

"In other words, the population of just the Far East region alone is already one-quarter of the population of all our other regions."

More, please.

"With this population, there's nothing we can do about it."

Even if he doesn't give us a single ruble, we have no choice but to accept it.

"As long as he doesn't break away from the Russian bear, as long as he is still formally one with us, that's the best thing for us."

"Otherwise, if he really breaks away from the Russian bear, we'll have to fight back, but what are our chances of winning?"

"As long as the Far East General isn't mentally unstable, he can't possibly break away from the Soviet Union."

"As long as the Far East remains nominally Russian territory, we have a chance to take it back."

"So Your Majesty should stop thinking about the tax revenue from the Far East and focus on the situation in Europe. We have to pay attention to Britain, France, and Germany."

"And then there's Central Asia, where we're currently fighting the Khanate of Khiva. As long as the Far East doesn't cause us any trouble, we'll be fine."

Just as they were saying this, someone came to report that the envoy from the Far East had arrived.

Alexander II sneered.

"I suppose this envoy from the Far East came empty-handed?"

The subordinate lowered his head, not daring to speak, but he was already certain that this was the situation.

Alexander continued.

"Let him in. I want to see what this Far East general is up to."

A moment later, Biol appeared in the hall.

"Ambassador to Europe of the Far East, Bioli, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Alexander II frowned upon hearing this title.

You're going to be the ambassador to Europe from the Far East.

What, your Far East has already become independent, huh?

However, he only thought it to himself and didn't say it out loud, but said it in a calm tone.

"Bioli, is it? Tell me, what did the Far East General send you here for?"

Biol raised his head and looked straight at Alexander II.

"Your Majesty, the general has come here today because he has an idea he would like to discuss with you."

"The general knows that Your Majesty is striving to gain more rights in Europe while simultaneously exerting full control over Central Asia."

"In order to help His Majesty, the Far East has decided to do its part."

Alexander II had already sensed something was wrong, but he continued to speak indifferently.

"I wonder how the Far East General intends to help me."

"Bioli said with a smile."

"The best way for Europe to gain more benefits and for East Asia to avoid interference from more countries is to give these countries another opponent and devote more energy to other places."

"Therefore, the Far East General decided to colonize Southeast Asia in the name of the Far East."

"Abandon the long-standing territorial expansion policy of the Russian bear and follow the colonial policy of countries such as Britain, France, and Germany."

"These European countries have significant interests in Southeast Asia, and at the same time, they are carrying out large-scale colonial expansion in Southeast Asia."

"As long as the Far East can acquire multiple colonial territories in Southeast Asia, it will be able to pose a threat to the European countries in Southeast Asia."

"In order to better protect their interests in Southeast Asia, they have no choice but to devote more energy to Southeast Asia."

"After joining the company, the pressure in Europe will be greatly reduced. At the same time, no one in Central Asia will interfere with your development anymore."

I must say, this is indeed a good idea.

In fact, Alexander II had also considered this method, since it would be easier to intervene in Southeast Asia from the Far East.

However, a few years ago he never thought of letting Chinese people occupy the Far East, let alone let them become part of the Far East, so the Far East failed to develop.

The Far East has developed, but it is not under his control. Even if he wanted to use this method, it would be impossible.

Moreover, this method has a major drawback: the Far East is also part of the Russian bear. If the Russian bear were to expand in Europe and Central Asia while also colonizing Southeast Asia, it would probably become the public enemy of Europe.

"Your method is well-explained, but let's forget about it."

"After all, the Far East is also part of the Russian bear, and the Russian bear is finding it difficult to cope with fighting on three fronts."

Bioly, however, remained calm and composed as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the general is aware that this method will have a significant impact on the Russian bear. In order to avoid such an impact, the general specifically asked me to bring you a new national policy."

"As long as Your Majesty signs your name on this new national policy, you can expand freely in Europe without affecting the Far East, and the Far East's colonization of Southeast Asia will never affect your side."

Alexander's expression changed.

What kind of national policies can remain unaffected by each other? Isn't that tantamount to division?

What does that mean? Does it mean that the Far East finally wants to secede?

Although Alexander was prepared, a hint of emotion still appeared on his face when the day actually arrived.

It wasn't because the event was too sudden; rather, it was because he didn't know what to do now that it had happened.

If the Far East were to become independent, then in order to protect the interests of the Soviet Union, it would inevitably have to wage war against the Far East, and such war would affect the development of Europe and Central Asia.

But abandoning the Far East like this is even more unacceptable than abandoning Central Asia and Europe.

After all, that was originally Russian territory, and if it were lost like that, Alexander II would probably not be able to hold onto his position.

"Is the Far East really going to do this?"

Bioly nodded, took out the national policy from his pocket, and handed it to the waiter.

"Your Majesty may take a look at the general's policy report before making a decision."

"However, I must remind Your Majesty that if you do not agree to this national policy, then the worst possible outcome will be inevitable."

What could be worse than the breakup of the Far East and the emergence of a Russian bear?

Alexander II scoffed inwardly as he picked up the document.

He was immediately struck by the title.

Upon seeing the details, even someone as composed as Alexander II couldn't quite control the expression on his face.
