Meanwhile, for Lee Hwan, the problem of Russia’s post-processing came to be a problem.
“Nationalism is rampant from Eastern Europe. If done wrong, many countries in Eastern Europe, including Russia, could start civil war again.”
“… … It’s a problem.”
“I think we need a way to contain their civil war somehow.”
Even with the knowledge of the future, it is not so easy to deter civil war.
In the first place, the Russian Empire was not a country made up of a single ethnic group, and it was obvious that it would be difficult to unify the ideology of that wide area.
In that case, it was necessary to at least maintain the legitimacy of Russia and prevent conflicts between them.
“Escape the refugees.”
“You mean the Russian refugees?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to at least show that we are far better people than Natalia’s Russia?”
The ministers, who heard Lee Hwan’s plan, nodded while pointing out exactly what the blind spots were.
“If we do that, we will have to risk once again our military to risk their lives to get the people out of the way.”
“Hmm… … .”
It was a strange situation not to worry about.
Under such circumstances, Minister of Defense Karas Black stepped forward.
“majesty! God knows who are the right people for this job.”
“The right people?”
“There is a social gathering of officers who were in the Black Hammer Pirates, and the number of them alone is over 3,000. But they all say they are nostalgic for the pirate life of the past.”
“Um, yes. I’m the same way, wouldn’t it be different for soldiers or officers?”
“At that time, all the people who were active as pirates have become officers or non-commissioned officers and are working as chief sergeants. They are now excluded from the front lines and pushed into office positions. So I know there are quite a few complaints.”
Lee Hwan was not the only one who missed the life of the pirates.
Although Lee Hwan was very impressed that their nostalgia and his youth were together, he felt something wriggling in his chest.
Lee Hwan decided to entrust them with the last mission.
“Then ask them if they are willing to take on this task, and let them organize a special forces unit. Also, when I go out to sea in the future, I suggest that they go along too.”
“… … Are you going back to the sea?”
“If my children grow up and form a proper royal family, they will of course go out to sea. Now I feel that my place is not in the royal castle, but in the sea.”
“iced coffee… … ! Then I will protect your majesty!”
“Okay, Sir Black.”
There is someone right in front of you who will satisfy the sea man’s romance, so why not swear allegiance?
Karas Black went to the Black Hammer Pirates’ comrade ‘Black Squad’ along the way.

The Black Squad announced that they would all participate in the mission Lee Hwan had given them.
“If you can return to the sea after reaping the beauty of the species, how meaningful would it be?”
“Oh, let’s go!”
There was a reason why they were so passionate about it.
Due to Lee Gak’s influence, Easterfield mixed a bit of Confucianism with a Confucian ideology, which, on the other hand, was an opportunity to create the ‘Cheongsu Idea’ in which old people make way for young people.
For this reason, the reality was that at the forefront, where promotion was quick, he could not serve in the combat class for more than 15 years.
Fighting was done by young people, and it was the old people who made plans and led them.
Therefore, the thrill of majoring, fame on the battlefield, and even the accumulation of enormous wealth were the responsibility of young people.
Those who had served in the military for 15 years had no choice but to become old men in the back room.
Of course, there are no opportunities for advancement even for those in office positions, and only those who have been with them for 15 years or more are given the right to move up to the executive branch and the headquarters.
For this reason, those who aspire to work in the headquarters or the administration were living very satisfactorily after 15 years of service.
The problem was that the Black Hammer Pirates, who had lived so freely, or the expeditionary force, felt oppressed enough to complain of mental problems.
For that reason, the old comrades gathered together to form the Black Troupe, but still, their longing for the sea could not be stopped.
To them, Lee Hwan made a very attractive offer.
“Your Majesty said that when the grandchildren grow up, they will prepare for a long journey.”
“You mean the journey?”
“It’s about being fully prepared so that we can lead a fleet and trade, earn money, and live while slaying pirates and criminals.”
“… … Huh! If so, will it be equipped with firearms and submarines?”
“I don’t have any concrete plans yet. But what is certain is that Your Majesty wants to organize another army within the Federation of Easterfield.”
Lee Hwan planned to organize a tradeable army and make them the guardian deity of Easterfield.
The head had to be himself, and the goal was to fill the gang with military backgrounds from Easterfield.
If that happens, the Black Team will have a completely different appearance from the existing organization.
“When can I leave for Russia?”
“We are looking for the right person. Please wait a little bit.”
Numerous efforts were made to put an end to Russia’s last frenzy, but virtually no progress was made for Easterfield’s military.
Therefore, it was never easy to choose a commander.
Comrades from the Black corps gave a decisive tip in choosing such a commander.
“I heard that General Ivanov wants to come back.”
“… … Ivanov?”

late night.

Malacca Coaster and Deaveron Blackburn sitting face to face with Lee Hwan.
The three of them were spending quite a bit of time planning what their future would be like after they retired.
“Hawaii and Okinawa, Brunei and Madagascar, St Helena and Iceland, Maldives, former British Indian Ocean Territory, Former French Southern Territory, Cape Verde, South Georgia Islands, Azores, Bering Sea Islands, etc. there is.”
“If only Hawaii and Okinawa were combined, wouldn’t it be as large as any other country?”
“Yes, it is. I think it has to be of this size if you want 3,000 people to trade and do things like monitoring criminal groups.”
“Well, I have to train and I have no choice but to produce weapons. There must also be a shipyard.”
“That’s right. Another problem is that pirates often appear in this area and there are mercenaries who use guerrilla tactics.”
“It is an essential issue for the stability of trade routes.”
“Anyway, some regions have virtually fallen into disrepair after French rule, and the economic environment is not very good. Even in the Federation, there are places where they are almost thrown away.”
Hwan Lee was planning to organize an army that wanders like a ghost, but also an expeditionary force in charge of powerful security.
According to his plan, it would have been more than enough to cover all these regions.
“Okay, then, let’s go with your opinion.”
“Then we will have to build an arsenal, shipyard, military base, and a trading post.”
“From now on, let’s put that plan into action step by step.”
“How do you choose a name?”
The Black Hammer Pirates became a symbol of Easterfield.
Lee Hwan came up with a name that coincided with him.
“How are you, Grim Reaper?”
“Oh, good! Angel of Death, quite intense and meaningful!”
“Okay, then, from now on, let’s make a name for the Grim Reaper Pirates and start working.”
“Then, shall we establish a Grim Reaper Co., Ltd.?”
“That would be nice too. Giving stocks to everyone who joins in lieu of salary. Wouldn’t it be better to get more from looting than your salary?”
“Soldiers will love it!”
The Black Hammer Pirates once had all their annual wages converted to government bonds and made a living by plundering.
At that time, the members of the Black Hammer Pirates had accumulated enough wealth, and since then, the practice of clean water has begun.
“Grim Reaper Co., Ltd.! Just hearing it makes my heart flutter!”
“Then, I think we just need to decide on the composition of the military. How and how long would you like to maintain your army?”
“The army thinks it doesn’t matter how big it is, as long as we can make a profit and keep it. And I think we don’t have to limit our activities to just the sea.”
“iced coffee! That’s right. There must be soldiers who were active on the ground!”
“I think it’s okay to collect information while peddling, and then use that to clear up criminal gangs.”
“Then, would it be okay if the army consisted of guns, armored vehicles, trucks, passenger cars, aircraft, various battleships, and submarines?”
“I wish there was a precision company that manufactures special weapons there.”
As it was structured, the scale was growing, but if it were an organization that would last for a long time, it was impossible not to think about the structure.
Lee Hwan decided to give all his private property to this project.
“I’m going to rob my private property, create the Grim Reaper Foundation, and start a company based on it.”
“If it’s Your Majesty’s private property… … .”
“It’s the goods that we receive from the profits of East Stellar and the profits we get from various finances.”
Lee Hwan’s wealth was virtually beyond the finances of a single country, and countries such as England and France had more than enough to make several.
Such wealth was now being invested in the country’s infrastructure industry, but in fact there was no need to do so because the state’s finances were so plentiful.
Now that Lee Hwan found his way, he wanted to pour out all of his wealth.
The two loyalists decided to give up their fortunes as if they couldn’t be left behind.
“They will also give away their wealth. And I will get that share later.”
“You have a family, don’t you?”
“We had no intention of passing on our property to our children in the first place. Even the children know that.”
“Heh, won’t your wife catch you like a mouse?”
“Is it possible? I’m already very excited about going peddling after my majesty.”
The two wives were peddlers at sea, so they were very dissatisfied with their current life.
So, they couldn’t sleep at night thinking about going around to do business already.
Lee Hwan had no choice but to smile.
“It’s a booger break, you’ve met my best friend.”
“No, by the way, how is your Majesty?”
“what?”
“If we were to make a living by the sea, we would be quite lonely.”
Lee Hwan trembled at the jokes of his aides.
“How are you? I am the person who manages the 152 house.”
“Ah, ah!”
“Fufu, don’t envy you either.”
“envious! Your Majesty will buy you a drink today.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
The three people’s collaboration today will mark a mark in Easterfield’s history.
