I Became the Last Princess of the Brown Bear Kingdom

---

On the other hand, Ahn Chang-ho and the government officials felt bitter as they read the history of independence that diverged from the original history, including the Korean War.

“While it’s not incorrect, if it weren’t for Russia, you wouldn’t have been able to cultivate such a nation.”

It sounds like they were saying that.

“No matter how you spin it, seeing that such a vast narrative has been written feels a bit suspicious.”

Ahn Chang-ho began to sweat coldly while reading the Korean section of this world’s strategy.

Behold the Korean section of this world’s strategy.

Korea ultimately became independent due to the superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the division of the peninsula and the establishment of military governance, thus starting the history of national division.

Yeah. Just like Japan.

The north was Kim Il-sung’s Korea, and the south was Syngman Rhee’s Republic of Korea.

Syngman Rhee ran the nation not by uprooting pro-Japanese elements but by incorporating them, unlike the Balhae Provisional Government, which was properly supported by Russia while nurturing intellectuals in advance.

And then, Kim Il-sung launched a war to achieve unification, leading to the Korean War.

As a consequence, the industrial base that Japan had barely left was utterly destroyed, and many lives were lost and injured.

Instead, thanks to that war, the implicitly existing class system was completely reset, and the Republic of Korea received considerable support in fighting against the communist bloc, rising to the status of a developed country on the half of the Korean Peninsula in the 21st century.

The industriousness and sincerity of Koreans can indeed lead to a prosperous nation if the environment allows it. Such praise appeared at the end.

Ahn Chang-ho’s eyes sparkled.

“Isn’t this the original history?”

He briefly had such doubts, but he soon shook his head. Regardless, it’s only folklore.

“Come to think of it, there are still remnants of the class system in the provinces.”

“They are the ones who are rebelling against the current federal policies. Especially those who are vocal about land reform.”

Was that really solved completely by warfare?

“Hmm, what should we do?”

“We must tackle it head-on. We need to address it while carrying out land reform.”

Push for reforms more radically and strongly.

“Those who were opposing land reform are the very ones, aren’t they? They lived with their heads down during the Japanese occupation, and now that they are independent, they demand their previous privileges. We have to deal with them.”

“So, you’re saying we should start now.”

“And if the backlash is strong afterward, we will suppress it.”

If they rise up, we trample them down. That was the answer.

“Yes. I will personally lead the army and deal with them all.”

Lee Beom-seok stepped up to personally crush them.

He, too, believed he must achieve land reform after seeing the world’s strategy and witnessing the future of the Republic.

“No, you’re not even a military commander now, and yet you want to take action yourself?”

“Becoming a politician doesn’t mean my military experience has vanished. I intend to mobilize the military for land reform.”

The scum who began to trample on their rights as soon as they gained independence from Japan.

The rotten must be excised. And funny enough, upon seeing the world strategy, Korea in this book had been completely reset by the war, resulting in fewer decayed roots compared to Balhae, which had no fratricidal tragedy.

Rather, Balhae is currently delayed in its processes of ethnic unification and various reforms, so this is a good opportunity.

“I look forward to it. Ah.”

“Do you have something to say?”

Ahn Chang-ho felt something was off.

It was about a figure named Kim Seong-joo, who appeared in this book. Kim Il-sung.

Due to Tsarina writing in such an overly detailed manner, he couldn’t shake off the nagging concern.

If this Kim Seong-joo is indeed a red, then he must be caught and dealt with quickly.

“Please keep an eye on the figure Kim Seong-joo from this book. He was said to be from Pyongyang, South Pyongan Province.”

“Since his appearance is also described, it should not be difficult to find him. I’ll take care of it just in case.”

In the book, the character Kim Il-sung was described as a lucky thief, but he was still leading reds, so it wouldn’t hurt to be cautious.

“It would have been better if the Soviet in the book had emerged instead.”

Of course, MacArthur of the United States wasn’t pleased with this.

After all, the current MacArthur couldn’t overlook the emergence of a new alliance in South America as he was put in a position where he had no choice but to watch, and the MacArthur in this Tsarina’s chapter wasn’t particularly significant.

“I’m getting angry; I should bomb Eastern Japan more.”

Today, MacArthur also showered Eastern Japan with a gift of bomb packets.

My book, or rather the historical novel based on it, has started to sell like hot cakes across countries in the Anastasia Premium edition.

Well, there were many citizens who felt relieved that such a red nation didn’t emerge.

Naturally, once it became a communist state, it would be controlled this way, and the so-called equality would ultimately lead to dictatorial authoritarianism.

If at least educational institutions addressed this in the future—though that’s a concern for future generations.

“In the end, if it collapses, it’s indeed the current Russian Republic.”

“Still, it’s a great power in this world.”

“Of course, we are Russians; even if the trash started ruling, we can somehow manage.”

But there were some unusual reactions.

According to Maria, the Tsar seemed to possess some foresight, indicating that this book illustrated a future without the Tsarina mother.

Oh my, it would indeed be troublesome if he figured it out like that. Especially those old Ukrainians, who had experienced the collective farms under Makhno, were shocked by the famine content.

“However, unexpectedly, the book is selling incredibly well.”

“I hear it’s selling like crazy in America as well.”

America, huh? With the South American war now ending, it seems their influence over South America has waned.

The war in South America was essentially solidified as a victory for Argentina, which was creating a practical unifying political body in South America.

It was hardly a war in the first place.

From the standpoint of the United States, they had provided no direct military support and weren’t officially allied with Brazil, so it wasn’t treated as a defeat.

They had merely scratched their pride a little.

Still, shouldn’t something be done regarding Argentina? Just as that thought crossed his mind, fortunately, Argentina proposed a ceasefire first.

“Since Colombia and Venezuela are already pro-American, we won’t touch those two nations. So, at this point, America should recognize us.”

In truth, while MacArthur wanted to demolish them, he found himself without a method.

If they asked why they couldn’t even handle that according to the Rome Treaty, he’d have no response.

After all, it had been said beforehand that they would sell weapons, but even with the technological transfer, they couldn’t surpass the weapons from the Rome Treaty.

They had to consider that Argentina had ambushed them, but even then, it was just too ugly.

Who would have thought Brazil would fall so helplessly? For now, he really saw no reason to refuse.

Venezuela and Colombia were recognized, and in comparison to the United States, Argentina had almost no naval power.

In other words, the sea power would always belong to the United States, and if things went south, be it Argentina or any other South American country, they could easily transform them into nuclear testing grounds.

Before long, the South American Union was established, and Argentina became the chair country of that union.

“No choice left.”

Naturally, MacArthur decided to unleash more havoc on Japan instead.

He couldn’t let those who forced him to abandon South America go free.

Thus, the deliciously cooking chef Lemay went back into action, and he utterly devastated the regions where the Communist Party of Eastern Japan was previously on the journey of reconstruction.

“Isn’t this going to cost a lot of money for the actual rebuilding?”

“We’ll just smash the other regions and rebuild only the Kanto region. After all, we only need it as a military base, so it doesn’t matter if those guys turn into beggars.”

They would turn it into an agricultural nation.

That was the will of MacArthur and the United States, so due to the revolution, Eastern Japan merely became a target for U.S. rebuilding, nothing less, nothing more.

“This is a consequence of Trotsky’s doing.”

There was some sympathy, but that was it.

Trotsky wasn’t the one I had bombed.

After all, he could have easily chosen to live comfortably in another country without a revolution.

I even gave him enough money to settle down.

Otherwise, even with the Rome Treaty, he could have just gone elsewhere.

It was purely Trotsky’s choice to come to Japan and blow it up.

It’s just a tale.

In return, powerful condemnation against the U.S. emerged from Western Japan. But that was none of my business. Back to the book, it seemed to be selling even more than my war.

The book titled “World Strategy” is surprisingly a rather scary read.

Given that, the volume was immense for something that I supposedly wrote by hand.

Despite not remembering clearly, it was written with great effort.

I roughly sprinkled some pepper on the knowledge I knew from the 1920s.

“Wouldn’t other countries think similarly?”

If other nations see this as original history, it seems the entire world might regard this book I wrote as the original history.

Not just simple original history, but mixed with a few different options. For instance, regarding certain figures.

Like Kim Il-sung. Or various great figures.

“Yes. In other countries, people are indeed saying ‘Could this be the true original history?’”

Maria, following behind, chuckled amusingly.

It’s not entirely incorrect, after all. Original history. A history without irregularities known as Anastasia.

But compared to the original history, isn’t this a happier narrative for everyone?

Certainly, there are some nations that ended up unfortunate, but that’s a separate issue, and none of our concern.

The fact that the major powers have been washed clean is also none of my business.

“Even so, this is evidently better than the original history—”

“The original history?”

In that moment, I fell silent.

Uh, maybe it’s just that I’ve been getting older, but it seems I’m increasingly making mistakes without realizing.

“Oh, it’s just a slip of the tongue. I just misspoke. Guess I’m getting old.”

“If Your Majesty were to say such things, I would already be in the grave, dust accumulating on my bones.”

Oh dear, that statement is a bit harsh.

Well, considering how specific the book is, it can’t be helped.

Even with my Third Eye, it feels like I have truly experienced this. That’s the level of detail.

Even if the country claims to be based on original history, it’s not a country from the generation of the Great War to begin with, so it holds no significance.

“Well, I simply wrote down what came to mind.”

What I could do was simply brush it off appropriately.

“Then if that’s true, I would also be shouting ‘Long live Comrade Stalin’ by now, wouldn’t I?”

Maria exclaimed “Long live Comrade Stalin!”

Thinking of young Maria shouting for Secretary Stalin made me feel a bit NTR’d.

Upon further reflection, it would be amusing to possess Stalin’s consciousness.

Of course, I genuinely detest reds, so I might consider offing myself or switching sides to the White Army, but anyhow. Writing it out made it seem really terrifying.

“That’s right. I will only be excavated as a relic decades later.”

There were even impersonators of Anastasia.

There must be a truckload of impersonators, possibly even enough to make a lap around a playground.

“Oof, just imagining it is horrifying.”

“Well, it’s just the content of a book.”

In a world where Trotsky is leading a revolution in Japan, there’s no need to take it too seriously.

Even if one does believe it, it’s already in the past, so what can be done.

“That said, it does feel more realistic than the original here.”

“Really?”

If that’s taken differently, it sounds like I’m saying I’m not normal.

Hearing that made me feel a bit disheartened.

“Just as Your Majesty lacks in this world, there are no superhumans like you. Generally, this side seems more realistic.”

Oh, that’s true. If anything, this side is indeed more realistic.

For starters, I was truly known as a Saint who came back from the grave, but if I just died, the Bolsheviks would take power, and red Russia would become weird in many ways.

“That could be the case.”

Now explaining would be tedious, and it’s also true. Regardless of how one thinks, that’s Maria’s concern.

There’s nothing I could say about that here. Instead, this mystical approach might seem more interesting. Given I also informed them of the Middle Eastern wars, they would likely gather some understanding regarding this current Middle Eastern conflict.

But what has become of Hejaz and Nejd?

Isn’t it about time some results popped up?

“Hejaz and Nejd?”

“It seems that Atatürk dived directly into the war. Rumors say he might even consider attacking Iraq.”

What? Are you telling me he jumped in directly like me?

I really don’t understand why these recent leaders are throwing themselves into the fray without caring for their safety.

Of course, it’s not like I can speak, but hey, I’m invincible!

“Why is that, though?”

“Isn’t it the influence of Your Majesty’s book?”

Aren’t they overly trusting my book? It sounds like something out of a novel where the plot suddenly takes a wild turn or where the initial narrative crumbles apart in a poorly constructed story.

Just how much faith do they have in that book?
