Anyway, if that happens, even within East Japan, no one can challenge the legitimacy of the Kanto Republic.

They’re too busy fighting each other to care? That’s how it works.

“Then, will you pay more attention to this matter as well?”

“What are you talking about?”

What do you mean, what am I talking about? Surely you’re not going to pretend you know nothing about this.

“I’m talking about Serbia. It would be mutually beneficial if you stayed out of that issue, wouldn’t it?”

Like us completely destroying Serbia, for example.

I’d really appreciate it if you could step back from that.

“Is Serbia some new ice cream made by Romanov Ice? Having spent my life in the military, I can’t say I know much about such things.”

He claims to know nothing about the country of Serbia.

“I see the President and I are on the same wavelength.”

“Hahahahaha! Aren’t you the leader of a nation that divides the world in half in this era?”

I wouldn’t exactly say we’re dividing the world in half, but whatever.

So, what about South America with this guy?

“I see how it is. Then, what are your plans for South America?”

For MacArthur, South America must be a real thorn in his side.

Africa has essentially become a complete Third World region.

The Middle East and Far East are practically under our multi-influence. From MacArthur’s perspective, South America must be somewhat troublesome.

South America has become an enormous bloc.

While busy savoring, grilling, tasting, and enjoying East Japan in various ways, his only countermeasures against South America were guaranteeing Venezuelan independence and blocking South American naval supremacy.

Of course, MacArthur managed to bury the South American issue by inciting the public with claims of repeatedly beating the “Japs” of East Japan.

South America itself was never in a state of war, and Americans didn’t see much reason to attack them. South America also never directly attacked the United States.

They just sold weapons to Brazil as support, that’s all.

“We can’t touch South America for the time being. But they know their place and are willing to yield, so what can I do?”

That’s right. South America only filled out the South American Union and then withdrew.

Of course, to achieve a true South American Union, they would need to take Venezuela too. But the US would never allow that.

There are already US military bases in Venezuela, I hear.

“You’re surprisingly letting it go.”

“If Eva Perón were to provoke us, I would be determined to beat her. But even in this day and age, we can’t act like a colonial empire.”

In reality, the US probably doesn’t have the capacity for that either.

Once they start pushing Black people into East Japan, that would be the end of it.

“South America could be quite strong if they united their forces.”

“Yes, that’s likely true. But we have no intention of allowing South America to become a major world power.”

One of the essential conditions for becoming a great power is access to the sea.

Resources and vast lands are good to have, but access to the sea is a crucial condition.

The US will probably accept the current South America but block their access to the sea.

If they try to build a fleet, that would be used as justification to attack them.

“So you mean you’ll go to war if they venture out to sea.”

“If they don’t listen, we have to take a hard line.”

“Is Eva Perón considered a threat to the United States?”

If she’s a threat, then I must have done at least one thing well.

Anyway, the more the US counters South America, the more money they’ll have to spend on defense.

“I’m quite upset about that point. That damned woman is launching rockets just like we are.”

“Why is that?”

Why would you be upset? Thanks to me, they’re working hard on rocket development.

It’s much worse than in the original history.

“Because of that, we’ve been forced to spend our budget on rocket development.”

How is that my fault? They didn’t have to follow our lead.

Of course, I was planning to force them to follow if they didn’t want to, but still.

It was the US that started the space race with us. I never begged them, “Please compete with us!”

This is completely unfair.

“Ah, I can understand that.”

“Don’t you think it’s time to ease up a bit?”

Ease up? Come on, how can I?

When you have enormous funds and national power, you should focus on scientific and technological development.

The Cold War in this era will likely exist in a new form as a scientific competition and space race.

In that distant future, the 21st century might be more advanced than the original world.

I’ve written extensively about this in the future edition of World Strategy.

“Well, what can we do? Our descendants in the distant future need to live in a broader world.”

“Sigh, you’re impossible to stop.”

I hear that a lot.

MacArthur must be the same, right? He’s practically a dictator now.

Fighting relentlessly while injecting the spirit of power into East Japan.

He probably ignored Congress and essentially sacrificed East Japan for his own popularity.

“Anyway, I look forward to our continued cooperation.”

MacArthur and I shook hands.

I don’t know what I’m doing because of Göring.

The Serbia issue should just be wrapped up neatly!

“Ah, since I’m here, there’s something I’d like to try.”

“What is that?”

“I hear RFC’s chicken is quite delicious.”

MacArthur rolled his eyes around with interest.

MacArthur has caught the scent of chicken. Well, that’s possible.

“Ah, chicken. Yes, I’d be happy to provide that.”

What’s so difficult about that? I hear they’ve recently come out with spicy chicken too?

Before I leave, let me grease MacArthur’s belly generously.

United States of America

Anastasia’s proposal was immediately announced by the MacArthur administration.

East Japan Reconstruction and Migration Industry. East Japan Dream!

Although it primarily targeted Black Americans, to avoid excessive discrimination, it applied to all US citizens.

Of course, Black Americans received more benefits.

White Americans who migrated to East Japan would only receive modest subsidies and had to contribute their own money to help rebuild East Japan. Black Americans didn’t have such requirements.

Black Americans received unconditional settlement grants!

Under the support of both the US government and the Kanto Republic government, they would even obtain Kanto citizenship!

Only Black Americans! White Americans received hardly any benefits!

The MacArthur administration bestowed such great benefits and mercy on Black Americans who had even staged rebellions!

Of course, from the Black Americans’ perspective, this sounded like nonsense.

“They want us to go to East Japan?”

“We’ve been living quietly! What’s the problem?”

They were essentially driving Black Americans out.

Even a three-year-old child could understand the situation.

Meanwhile, the United States was eagerly accepting Asian immigrants.

“Since you participated in KFC, we have no choice but to view you as communists~ If you settle in East Japan, we will provide generous support.”

At first, some people opposed the government, but when several Black Americans bribed by MacArthur took the lead, Black Americans lost their justification to stay in America.

“Ah, finally those people will disappear.”

“They should just be red, not black and red. Ugh.”

“MacArthur is the best! Unlike that honorary communist Huey Long!”

“What a relief!”

In fact, beyond the issue of Black Americans themselves, the KFC incident had a profound impact on white Americans.

Black Americans are communists.

This formula had become deeply ingrained in the minds of Americans.

Most people were happy to hear that they were going to Japan, and some companies even stepped forward to support the government’s initiative.

“I’m leaving because it’s petty and dirty here. I’m going!”

Many Black Americans suspected of KFC involvement were swept up in this as well.

“What’s that darkie doing here?”

“This is the land of the Japanese!”

“It’s not much, but I brought some money and food.”

“The people of Kanto welcome you!”

Money talks.

The Japanese in Kanto were overwhelmed by the Black money brought by Black Americans.

The Kanto Republic was completely broke. While they somehow managed to maintain Tokyo, the rest of the region had been devastated.

The sweet Black money brought during this time was a masterpiece.

Moreover, RFC also supported migration and reconstruction in East Japan by opening chain stores and generously serving chicken to East Japanese and Black Americans.

East Japan was sweetly reconstructed with Black Americans’ Black money.

Japanese wooden buildings were all cleared away, replaced by American wooden structures and buildings.

“Now even darkies are coming to this country.”

“Mr. Tokuda, get to work quickly.”

“Ah. I understand.”

Kyuichi Tokuda, once the secretary-general of the Japanese Communist Party and leader of the Japanese Soviet, spent the rest of his life working under a Black landowner.

Meanwhile, the Serbian Chetniks were gradually becoming desperate.

From the beginning, they were no match for the pro-Danube militia that received direct support from the Danube.

Moreover, they didn’t know how the Danube Defense Army, which was just watching, might intervene. It was time to bring this to an end.

After this fight, the Chetniks would never be able to achieve Serbian independence again.

Even if they won and demanded independence from the Danube Federation, if the other side mobilized their army while scoffing, that would be the end.

“Sigh. This really is the end, isn’t it?”

“Perhaps surrendering is an option. Wouldn’t it be better to pursue an autonomy movement from within?”

Autonomy movement.

Essentially telling them to give up everything.

Abandon everything here and submit again?

In truth, Mihailović was getting tired of it all.

This fight seemed endless. Serbians were neither immortal nor devils—how could they fight to the end?

The Chetniks now numbered less than a thousand.

Many militia members had died too, but due to the tragedy of fratricidal conflict, one side or the other needed to surrender soon.

“Huh, are you suggesting we give up everything?”

“Why do you think the Roman Treaty is leaving us alone?”

“Because they don’t have the capacity to deal with us. That must be it.”

So obviously. Like counting chickens before they hatch.

The Roman Treaty, the Danube Federation, is currently integrating under the Roman Treaty and cannot focus on matters here.

That was their simple judgment.

Their hopeful thinking made sense. The Roman Treaty is currently taking a submissive stance toward its competitor, the United States.

It seems the US has taken issue with the Serbian situation this time as well.

“So when they value us highly, we set the condition of establishing an autonomous territory with minimal interference in internal affairs.”

An autonomous territory with minimal interference in internal affairs.

Oh, that doesn’t sound bad. It’s perfect, actually.

“Oh, that makes sense.”

The Chetnik leadership immediately visited the Danube Defense Army headquarters stationed near Belgrade.

“We wish to negotiate.”

Negotiation, yes, good. The Danube Federation’s Defense Army decided to show mercy since the Chetniks had come with such a submissive attitude.

“Oh, negotiation sounds good. Arrest them all!”

Yes, arresting them all.

“What are you doing? We came to negotiate!”

“Negotiation my foot! When you lose, you should know to kneel!”

Negotiation be damned.

Was this ever a situation where negotiation was possible? When defeated, one should accept defeat accordingly, but these idiotic Serbians were calling it “negotiation.”

“We never fought against the Danube, what are you talking about!”

“You think we were just watching for no reason?”

To be precise, from the Danube Defense Army’s perspective, they had always viewed the Chetniks as a hostile force, ready to capture them at any time.

They had simply deployed the pro-Danube militia incorporated under the Defense Army.

Yes, it’s a simple strategy of using others to defeat your enemies, commonly used in the East.

In such a situation, they approached unarmed for “negotiation”—how absurd.

“You vile Austrians!”

“What nonsense.”

The Chetniks’ dirty tricks were useless.

Thus, the battle between the Serbian pro-Danube militia and the Serbian Chetniks around Belgrade ended with the militia’s victory.

However, in the process, many Serbians died or fled, leaving the Serbian autonomous region with barely enough Serbians to maintain autonomy.

Afterward, the Danube Federation completely incorporated the Serbian autonomous region into its territory.

The Serbian autonomous region was completely crushed.

The Serbians living in the autonomous territory were caught in the fight between the militia and Chetniks, resulting in death or evacuation, reducing their numbers to an embarrassingly low level for maintaining autonomy.

The Danube Federation completely incorporated this land. This was Göring and Hitler’s plan from the beginning.

Let them kill each other without direct intervention from the Danube Federation.

This way, they would only feel hatred for each other and couldn’t focus on external forces.

Indeed, Serbia was split in half, and many Serbians fled because they hated both sides.

Isn’t this the perfect ending for a nation of evil?

“I heard a lot of Serbians died.”

“Not our concern.”

“What did they do when we were fighting a civil war with the communists?”

“Right. Serves them right.”

After World War I, Serbia evolved darkly into Yugoslavia.

They didn’t care about the Russian Empire that had helped them.

Instead, they received generous support from the German Empire, their former enemy.

How despicable are they?

We, the people of the United States of Greater Russia, genuinely found Serbians disgusting.

And that was the ending they deserved.
