133 Far East (1)
The Russian Empire offered 1 million Central as a condition to purchase Alaska.
However, Lee Hwan set the purchase policy for Alaska as follows.
“Tell them that you have no intention of giving more than 300,000 Central.”
“Yes, I understand.”
At this time, the purchasing power of Alaska was not very high.
This is because the technology for drilling oil was limited to Easterfield, and there was no perception that oil was black gold.
That is why Lee Hwan was convinced that if he gave 300,000 Central in cash, they would inevitably come over.
The price adjustment was carried out every other day via telegram.
“Your Majesty, Russia has offered you 800,000 Central.”
“It’s a nonsensical sound. Don’t even reply at all.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Lee Hwan did not even reply because he had no intention of waking up after dying for more than 300,000 Central.
Lee Hwan’s actions were enough to provoke Russia.
They have expressed their intention to protest immediately to Lee Hwan.
Four days after the telegram was chewed and swallowed, a telegram was delivered from Russia with the following contents.
“… … If you are not willing to negotiate, I ask you to be honest.”
“I know you well. I have no will to negotiate. I’m not planning on giving more than 300,000 nails. Communicate our position clearly. We have no intention of giving more than 300,000 even if we die and wake up.”
“Yes, I understand.”
It was not for nothing that Lee Hwan was stubborn.
They shook the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for nothing because they said the current financial situation was good, but honestly, they would have wanted to sell the land.
Because they intervened in the war and suffered huge losses as they were defeated in the war they intervened in.
A defeat in the war would result in huge losses, but it was only this much because Prussia was freed from liability when it belonged to Austria.
If they had been accused of instigating an all-out war, Russia’s finances might have been in jeopardy.
Lee Hwan thought that they were asking for 1 million Central to show that Russia itself does not have financial difficulties.
And that thought worked perfectly.
Three days after the telegram containing Lee Hwan’s position arrived, another telegram came.
“This time we offered 500,000 Central.”
“They are fresh guys.”
“What should I do?”
“What? We will never buy under 300,000.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Russia was probably tired of Lee Hwan’s negotiating laws that didn’t even work.

Meanwhile, an unexpected messenger arrived at Lee Hwan.
It was the British delegation.
“Your Majesty, the British Deputy Treasurer has arrived.”
“Treasurer?”
“I think he came here to ask questions about Russia.”
“At a time like this, it moves very eccentrically. Come on in.”
Lee Hwan invited the British finance minister to the audience.
Lee Hwan usually wears a uniform, but Easterfield wears the same uniform from soldiers to officers, so he was no different.
However, Lee Hwan’s uniform was studded with five gold stars, symbolizing the king and supreme commander.
He wore his uniform and sat comfortably in the audience room.
Britain’s new finance minister, William Brown, fell to one knee as soon as he saw Lee Hwan.
“I will be presenting to you.”
“Get up.”
“thank you.”
William Brown sent Lee Hwan a letter from the British royal family.
“A letter from the royal family of the British Empire.”
“Read it.”
“Hum, I understand.”
The reading of secret letters from the royal family could lead to different views depending on interpretation.
Hana Lee Hwan just instructed them to read it without much meaning.
William Brown looked at Lee Hwan and began to read the letter.
“Our British Empire is a bio that expresses considerable disappointment to you.”
“… … Disappointment?”
As Lee Hwan’s face twitched, William Brown broke into a cold sweat.
As of now, there was no country with more powerful firepower than Easterfield, and Lee Hwan was famous for being very hot-tempered.
He was obviously not hot-tempered, but the rumors were misleading because the neighboring countries remembered that Lee Hwan had personally led a fleet and annihilated Portugal some time ago.
However, the truth is, Lee Hwan liked the nickname.
Isn’t it that if you drive a car, it doesn’t cover the front and rear and breaks everything?
“Continue reading.”
“Ha, but my lord… … .”
“why? don’t like to read Then it’s no big deal. Captain of the Guard!”
Lee Hwan’s Guard Captain is one of the leaders of the Black Hammer Pirates and is the best marksman in the army.
Guard Captain DeVeron Blackburn opened the door and entered.
He had a pistol at his side, and a dagger adorned with ruby on his chest.
The dagger, which seemed to symbolize blood, was enough to cool William Brown’s chatter.
“Blackburn, could you read this letter for me?”
“of course.”
DeVeron Blackburn reached out to William Brown.
But William Brown was so stiff that he couldn’t even open his hands.
“That, that… … .”
“What kind of safety are you talking about with one mouth now?”
“Sin, sorry! The villain just did what he was told… … .”
“No, that’s why I say let it go. You just have to give it, but you mean it’s so hard?”
Blackburn snatched the letter from him, almost robbing him.
And Blackburn continues to read.
“I have heard that your country has ties to the Russian Empire. No, it would be correct to say that this is not my inner pain, but an open one.”
“Heh, is it a pain in the ass?”
“Bio instructing our British Empire to immediately cease negotiations with Russia.”
“… … instruction?”
Britain made a clear mistake in this letter.
He did this audaciously, thinking that England was still above Easterfield’s head.
However, Lee Hwan was not such a soft person.
He got up and walked slowly to William Brown.
Then William Brown immediately fell on his face and began to cry.
“I, my lord! Please save my life! Hehehehe, I have a wife and children!”
“Are you saying you want me to kill your wife and children?”
“Sa, please save me!”
Lee Hwan reached out to William Brown.
“Put your finger out.”
“Yes… … ?”
“I told you to stick your finger out.”
As William Brown reluctantly reached out a finger, Lee Hwan motioned for Blackburn to come closer.
Blackburn then grabbed William Brown’s body as if familiar.
“I will cut off a very small portion of your fingers. There will be a lot of blood, but if you move, you will be seriously injured.”
“Yes, yes?!”
“I think it’s better than having a handkerchief fly away. Isn’t that right?”
“Hey, hey, hey!”
“Blackburn, get it.”
As Blackburn overpowered it, William Brown bit his lip.
It seemed that he was acting with the thought that great pain would come upon him.
Lee Hwan ignored him and cut the front of William Brown’s index finger with Blackburn’s dagger.
Scratch!
“Aaaah!”
Lee Hwan began to write on the parchment that came as a letter with the fresh blood pouring out of his index finger.
The text was very simple and clear.
[instruction?]
By putting a question mark on the word “Jiji,” it showed how angry Lee Hwan was.
Lee Hwan put the royal seal on it with William’s blood.
“Our seal made of English blood. Take it with you. I can’t say for sure what will happen if I go through someone without delivering this letter directly to the king who wrote it.”
“… … Sa, thank you for saving me!”
“Come on.”
Hwan Lee was curious as to what the pigeons drawn by blood would say to the British royal family.
***
It came as a shock to the British royal family that a letter was drawn from raw blood.
However, when William IV read the contents of the letter, he was astonished.
“… … instruction? Is it possible that you sent a letter of this kind to Easterfield I?! Who the hell wrote these letters?”
“Secretary of Finance… … .”
“By this time, the Deputy Treasurer is fired, and he is imprisoned. Also, if there is a force behind it, catch it immediately and bring it to my front!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Britain was clearly in a position to say that it was the most powerful country in the world, but they had only one object of fear.
It was the United Kingdom of Easterfield.
It was the position of the military that, for now, could not have the power to stand up to Easterfield I.
If a war broke out between Britain and the Allied Kingdom of Easterfield, Russia would be so good that it would eat up the whole of Europe.
So the British had no choice but to spare themselves.
William IV wrote the letter himself at once.
His letter, which was literally written down with a single stroke, was delivered directly to his closest aide, the Minister of Finance.
“The Prime Minister must deliver it directly.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The current Prime Minister of England is the famous Wellington General Arthur Wellesley.
The Duke of Wellington, who had been quite close with the Netherlands in the past, went straight to Easterfield’s Second Royal Palace after receiving a special order from the king.
When he arrived at the border with the Netherlands, it was clear that the military power there was clearly different from that of other countries.
The Netherlands had the most powerful ally called Easterfield, not only with the Austrian Empire on its back.
Since the queen’s husband is the head of the world’s strongest firepower army, there was no hesitation in showing off that firepower.
“The latest cannons are plentiful… … .”
“Sir, these are not the latest versions, they are the early ones used by the existing Easterfield artillery. Easterfield now has more than three generations of advanced cannons.”
“… … Unbelievable firepower.”
If Britain is to build the firepower that the Netherlands has, it may have to carry out successive projects that depend on the nation’s luck.
It was said that the Netherlands was receiving an unimaginable amount of support from the UK.
‘If we face all-out war now, we might lose?’
In the past, the Netherlands was regarded as a clown with no military system.
This is because the Netherlands in the Age of Exploration and the Netherlands after that had entered a completely different phase.
But now, a completely new army was organized with the feeling of starting over from a blank slate.
The army adopted East Stellar’s high technology faster than anyone else, and was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s strongest firepower.
In the eyes of the Duke of Wellington, the Netherlands could now be seen as one of the great powers.
‘This is not the time. We need a way to keep the Netherlands in check.’
Although Belgium and Luxembourg had gained independence, the firepower of the Kingdom of the Netherlands itself was overwhelming.
In the future, if the Netherlands implements a policy of moving south, even Belgium, which had a low momentum, will have no choice but to bow its head and tremble in fear.
The world’s strongest husband stood behind the Queen of the Netherlands.
In such a situation, the Duke of Wellington thought that if he didn’t think of anything, something big would happen.
However, realistically, there was no way that a sharp number could come to mind at this moment.
Even if he died and was reborn, the British could not overwhelm Easterfield.
