As we spent more time face to face, Comrade General Secretary and I were able to discover that we had many things in common, despite the crucial difference between fascists and communists.

First of all, the main enemy.

The concept of immigration as the enemy, which all Koreans have heard of at least once, regardless of whether they served in the military or not, can never be applied to Germany and the Soviet Union.

South Korea has a clear enemy called North Korea, but Germany has virtual enemies everywhere, so there is no one that can be called a ‘main enemy’, and the situation in the Soviet Union is similar.

Poland, which ripped off Danzig, Czechoslovakia, which ripped off the Sudetenland, France, which ripped off Elsas-Lothringen, and Britain and the United States, who came from across the sea to the European continent and beat up Germany.

In the midst of the chaos caused by the Red-White Civil War, Poland took the initiative to attack the land, the United States, Britain, and France supported the White Army in fear of the Red Plague, and Japan was stationed in Siberia until the very end and tried to eat the land.

‘hmm. I didn’t know about it when I was receiving formal education at the military academy, but now that I’ve listed it like this, it seems like there are too many.’

What’s even more horrifying is that the lists of Germany’s enemies and the Soviet Union’s enemies almost overlap.

What does it mean that the enemies of Germany, the ‘fatherland of fascism’, and the Soviet Union, the ‘fatherland of communism’, are almost identical Western democracies?

That is, fascism and communism should not waste time killing each other, but should join forces to develop the power to protect themselves from the invasion of those evil Western democrats!

Your Excellency the President also said, ‘It is easier to turn a communist into a fascist than to make a democrat into a fascist.’ This is my own belief that fascism and communism share many aspects based on totalitarianism. This is strong evidence that it is not an opinion.

Although it has not happened yet by other world standards, one thing that both fascism and communism have in common is that they both fought against Western democracy and ended up on the path to defeat.

Fascism was banned forever on earth after a bloody battle with the democratic camp, and although communism did not engage in an all-out war with the democratic camp, it collapsed on its own without being able to resolve internal contradictions after endless system competition.

If we were to make a judgment based on theory and historical examples, we cannot deny the fact that neither fascism nor communism can absolutely coexist with democracy… and that only by destroying democracy can the long-term survival of the system be guaranteed.

Fascism and communism suppress the ‘individual’ and emphasize the ‘whole’.

Western democracy strives to guarantee individual freedom as much as possible.

These two concepts cannot be harmonized, so in this world, just like in real history, there will be a fight to defeat the other in whatever form it takes.

Perhaps someone who disagrees with my thoughts will ask:

In the past, Germany had forced the Soviet Union to sign the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, which would turn even the harsh Treaty of Versailles into nothingness, so would it be right to pursue an alliance with the Soviet Union?

Even if fascism and communism are identical in many ways, one side is far right and the other is extreme left, so even if an alliance between the two countries were to actually come to fruition, how long could it be maintained?

Certainly, in the past, Germany tried to take too much from the Soviet Union, and many of its troops were stranded as security maintenance troops, so even after finishing the Eastern Front, it suffered from a lack of manpower to deploy to the Western Front, but it was the culprit who was greedy that did not work. The ill-armed Kaiser had long ago been driven out by a large-scale rebellion that started at the military port of Kiel.

And since fascism or communism are ideologies that imply the need to persuade the people in order for the state to take away the people’s freedom and continue the dictatorship, they can maintain ‘hostile symbiosis’ for a considerable period of time even if they join forces to destroy Western democracy first and then break the alliance. There will be.

Anti-communism is an ideology that aims to oppose communism as the core fuel of fascism. If communism is completely eradicated from the face of the earth, there will no longer be anyone to oppose, so dictatorship cannot be justified.

Communism is an ideology that grew under the threat of foreign powers armed with anti-communism from the beginning of the Red-White Civil War. If you are driven by a desire for revenge and kill every single anti-communist, the people will similarly warn the people that the current system is under threat from foreign powers, so they should focus on the Central Party. It is no longer possible to advertise that we must come together.

However, if we don’t look for something that can justify the dictatorship system and just push them away with tanks whenever we see those who oppose the dictatorship, it may only be one or two people who die like that at first, but in the end, all the people who should be ruled will die. The problem is that once it is removed, the reason for the existence of the organization that governs the people, that is, the government, disappears.

Regardless of whether your title is President, President, Secretary-General, or anything else, what is the meaning of that position if there are no citizens who can use the power given to it to rule?

It is not best to kill everyone who tries to raise even the slightest voice of opposition.

I took the opportunity to emphasize to Comrade Secretary General the commonalities and possibility of coexistence between fascism and communism.

“I will tell you honestly. I believe that, as a national ‘socialist’, I can get along well with Soviet ‘socialists’, and based on that belief, I accepted Comrade Secretary General’s invitation to take the friendly relations between Germany and the Soviet Union to the next level. It wasn’t just that I came here to hang out and eat, I also sparred with Comrade Secretary General and provided various techniques…”

Now it is Comrade Secretary General’s turn to respond. I deliberately omitted the last part of the sentence to give Comrade Secretary General time to think.

The beginning of the answer was very positive.

“Sure… Unlike Western countries whose behavior is unbelievable, Germany is a country that willingly sent you, the most notable talent in the country, to this country, and thanks to your cooperation, this country will gain a lot. I could. I also think that this is not the end of what can be gained by joining hands with Germany.”

Perhaps the greatest thing the Soviet Union gained by inviting me was futuristic agricultural equipment and agribusiness methods that would lead collective farms to success, which in real history had failed miserably due to human greed.

Future weapons are important items that only we must have, so we keep them hidden and do not show them at all, except when mobilizing an army of robots when sparring with Comrade Secretary General, and cutting-edge electronics are not as useful as you might think to people in the 20th century who are not familiar with them. Maybe not.

Rice is something that everyone in the past, present, and future must eat, and in particular, it is simply a matter of providing the Soviet Union with the means to make up for the problems of collective farms and increase agricultural productivity before the Holodomor that turned Ukraine into a living hell began in earnest. It is bound to have a meaning beyond just eating your fill.

However, the Comrade Secretary General’s remarks did not lead to more documented promises.

In the first place, when I came to the Soviet Union, I was not given the authority to independently promote a treaty between countries, and even if I were to visit the Soviet Union as a special plenipotentiary ambassador, at this point in time, when an all-out war that would wash away blood would not break out, there would be no need for a non-aggression pact or This was because there was a risk that if something beyond non-aggression was promoted, it would unnecessarily provoke other countries.

There are two reasons why I am promoting cooperation with the Soviet Union.

To prevent the danger of a two-front front, and to overcome the Great Depression through trade with the Soviet Union.

However, in this seemingly peaceful era, the act of signing a non-aggression, mutual defense treaty, or airborne alliance with the Soviet Union made other countries think, ‘Aren’t those bastards doing this just to go to war?’ If so, there would be no separate Jugaekjeondo.

“For now, you are saying that you will only trade with a verbal contract that leaves no evidence, but will push for a formal treaty when a more appropriate time comes…”

“That’s right. That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Since I also did not expect to be able to achieve an alliance with Germany right now, I was satisfied with the answer and took a step back.

Considering the amazing level of magic engineering technology I possess, the Soviet Union increasingly thought, ‘Oh, if we go to war with those guys with shitty technology, there will be a lot of casualties.’ No matter how much we pluck people out of the fields, we must refrain from killing dogs. You’ll be thinking, ‘Why don’t we take this opportunity to abandon those unreliable Western powers and team up with Germany?’

No matter how much the Soviet Union was a country with a great disregard for human life, would it want to go to war with Germany, which sent a man to the moon in 1929 and used automated machines to run farming and factories ‘click’?

In the end, an alliance with Germany is only a matter of time.

Oh, of course, if the German leadership decides to go to war with Germany, I, as a soldier, have to follow it whether I like it or not… Assuming they don’t stop there, the Soviet Union won’t attack first, so if time continues to pass, the German-German alliance will come true.

I went out of the office after a conversation with Comrade Secretary General, dreaming of a fantasy combination of robot armies roaming over the Low Countries, France, and the British Isles, and ghoul armies charging towards the Middle East and India.
