Kentucky, USA

At this time in Kentucky, Trotsky was shaking his two hands holding a newspaper in frenzy.

“Crazy! How dare they turn the Fourth International into a bunch that wants to fry chicken?!”

An article published in the newspaper. An absurd piece titled “The Truth About KFC.”

The content was even more ridiculous.

‘Leon, the head of FC, is a lunatic trying to turn the United States into a chicken nation. He has promised a chicken distribution once a day, and the Black people are responding positively.’

Trotsky’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.

KFC was a crazed faction trying to bring about a chicken revolution, not communism.

Its leader Leon was known to be a madman filled with the ambition of one chicken per person for the entire nation.

They even went as far to say KFC is an abbreviation for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Such rumors were spreading across the American continent.

In other words, the American version of Bolsheviks had transformed into a faction diving headfirst into the chicken business.

“Comrade, what should we do?”

“If this rumor spreads, fewer people will want to join us. Then, there’s only one answer.”

Even if we don’t directly engage in war, we must at least establish a government here.

If we don’t, KFC will truly be treated as a crazed group obsessed with chicken.

Trotsky, brimming with anger, tore the newspaper to shreds and slammed his fist on the table.

“We must establish a government, too.”

The time had come.

We have to establish a government somehow.

“We can’t just establish the Kentucky Fried Chicken Federation, can we?”

At Kulik’s stupid remark, veins bulged on Trotsky’s temples.

Is he really saying he thought KFC was just that until now?

That damned imperialist scion princess who brutally killed the Bolsheviks to utilize them. If only more Bolsheviks had joined us, I would have expelled this Kulik on the spot.

“Kulik, comrade. KFC is not an abbreviation for Kentucky Fried Chicken! It’s the Fourth International!”

“Ah, I-I knew that. Just joking! So, what will you name it?”

The name was obvious.

“Right. The American Communist Union. That should suffice.”

Trotsky finally made his decision.

This means that he would eventually have to participate in a civil war and find it hard to receive support since we were landlocked.

But did we initiate a revolution with the expectation of such?

If we visibly demonstrate the revolution, many American people will follow Trotsky.

It was the moment when the American Communist Union would be established in the central North America.

Of course, MacArthur and Huey Long, who couldn’t recognize the communist government, dismissed KFC as just a chicken business.

Recently, many new things have appeared in Russia.

Especially food types have increased. There’s even a Russian version of McDonald’s. Among them, a representative is the ice cream factory.

“This mint chocolate is really delicious.”

Indeed, mint chocolate is delicious in any era.

In Korea, mint chocolate was very polarizing.

Just eating it would provoke strange looks from many.

After the nuclear war, it was a food that couldn’t be consumed at all.

But to my surprise, mint chocolate exists in this era as well.

To be exact, it had quite a long history from the beginning, and although it didn’t reach modern ice cream standards, it wasn’t a food that couldn’t be eaten.

Mint chocolate was quite popular in the United States, the superpower and Earth’s overlord.

It even ranked among the top five flavors!

It’s such a shame that Koreans don’t know this taste.

“Hmm, I’m not sure about that.”

“You’ll find it delicious if you keep eating it.”

Maria also doesn’t know the taste. How sad. Ah, a good idea has come to mind.

With liberation, a new Korea will probably welcome various foods.

Since we’ve established a provisional government in Russia, Russian food will spread, and so will Manchurian and Jewish food.

Then how about spreading mint chocolate too?

You should always start off well with such things.

In newly reborn Korea, we will spread mint chocolate under the pretext of support.

That way, when I am born in modern Korea, the prejudice against mint chocolate will disappear, right?

In fact, mint chocolate was not made for just my personal reasons.

I was developing it for the progression of Russian ice cream, and during that process, various flavors came out, including mint chocolate ice cream.

Am I a genius or what?

Many mint chocolate villains who died in the nuclear war. No, those Koreans who love mint chocolate will meet a happy future because of me.

“Still, it seems the ice cream business is doing quite well.”

“It should, since it’s something I started myself.”

Of course, I didn’t make it all myself.

The ice cream factory was significantly imported from America.

The ice cream factory we took over from America was receiving great feedback.

Although there’s not much variety yet, isn’t this enough?

I’m showing diligently for the sake of the people of the Republic.

I’ve brought in various Western things for the Republic’s citizens to enjoy.

There are personal interests involved as well.

Ice cream even for the Tsar! Thus, the purchasing rate of ice cream increased.

We’re also doing well in ice cream development.

“But what about America?”

“Good news will probably come soon.”

“Ultimately, America will be the game-changer. We must absolutely not let communism take root.”

Is there anything more terrible than a communist America?

If America were to become communist, it wouldn’t feel like the historical America at all. But still, a red America cannot be ignored.

If Communist America sides with Germany, it would be the worst.

Putting aside everything else, it doesn’t seem right for KFC to unify America.

It feels like it’s about time to burst the Turbulent card. When would be the best timing?

And a little later, news arrived from America.

“Your Majesty, the American Communist Union has emerged in the central region.”

While I was spending time spinning my pen in the Duma, the Minister of the Interior brought such news.

Central, American Communist Union.

Just looking at this seems to give off the vibe of our Trotsky, doesn’t it?

Looking at the map, it spread from Kentucky through the center. This means MacArthur’s territory is relatively small.

If it wasn’t for KFC, this wouldn’t be that hard to manage.

Right. If it’s not KFC, MacArthur wouldn’t have risen up.

“Isn’t it likely KFC speaks for them?”

“Yes. It’s the American Communist Union founded by Leon of KFC. But it seems neither the Huey Long government nor the MacArthur government recognizes it.”

The American Communist Union. That’s a seriously complex and bizarre name.

Well. Since neither Huey Long nor MacArthur recognizes each other as governments, they certainly can’t acknowledge the Reds that caused the situation.

Could it really be that Trotsky was offended by our actions?

It’s pitiful… but what can we do?

The die has been cast, and the arrow has left the bow.

“Hm, it seems Trotsky is quite irked by the chicken revolution.”

Trotsky, the one leading the way for our chicken revolution.

If Trotsky truly managed to accomplish a chicken revolution in 21st century Korea, I would give him a standing ovation while supporting him.

One chicken a day. Would Koreans be able to endure that?

Of course, if the real Trotsky hears what I said, he’d probably rush to Moscow with a gun shouting revolution or something.

Anyway, the plan was successful.

From the beginning, establishing a government was the goal, so it was only a matter of time, but this showed that America has a possibility for a tri-party battle.

It seems that a second world war could break out in America.

No, even so, that’s unlikely, right?

I doubt Germany would aim for that.

Or conversely, could the British and French try to support Huey Long?

Using their distributed power between the colonies and Huey Long, could Communist Germany have their eyes on it?

I really can’t understand those guys’ thoughts. Various possibilities must be considered.

“It seems that way.”

“Keep in contact with Okhrana, who is close to Trotsky.”

We must maintain a smooth communication network.

That way, we can capture Trotsky whenever we want.

“Britain is concerned about our military intervention.”

“What will they do if they’re concerned?”

If they’re worried, what are they going to do about it?

Those guys, nearly a naval tool, what would they do if we intervened in America?

They struggle to manage colonies and have to prevent communism from spreading in Britain.

“Then let’s not give them a definitive answer.”

“Do that. After all, they’re the type that can’t do either. To give strength to Sir Churchill, we should let them make mistakes.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

In any case, the relationship with Britain can only maintain a subtle parallel.

Britain is the balance of Europe. They aim for the status of the only hegemonic power.

Since America is so divided, Britains might consider shedding their old lion’s cub.

And that’s the issue.

“No, that’s not it.”

“Why do you say that?”

I tap the desk with my finger.

This… I wonder if Britain would really just sit idly by?

While they can’t move their military directly, they could adopt a new approach.

Yeah. For example, if communist Germany were to ask to support KFC, would they not comply?

Crossing the Atlantic, going through MacArthur, they could not directly support KFC.

Going to the Pacific feels too far, and coincidentally Britain wouldn’t want to fight communist Germany. Once negotiations are made through some under-the-table work, pushing it through Canada is a scenario that might occur.

“If the evil axis of the world, Britain, will certainly try to give us a shot. They are the ones who already supported communist Germany.”

In any case, this is a job for the military or the foreign department.

There are plenty of people here who have directly experienced Britain more than I have. They should know who is who.

Look, some of the members of the Duma are nodding along to my words.

“If that’s the case, Your Majesty, you’re saying they can support KFC through Canada?”

Right. Britain could support directly.

If they plan to do something with America and maintain a close relationship with MacArthur, it’s obvious they would interfere.

For Trotsky, who finds it hard to receive support, this would be like rain in drought.

“Even aside from that, supporting KFC through Canada for communist Germany could also be possible.”

“Isn’t that a bit too presumptive?”

“Presumptuous? What I’m saying is soon to be the reality. Britain will want to see Huey Long’s government win, and will certainly seek to support Trotsky through any means to give us a blow. That must happen and will happen.”

In other words, that’s what I’m talking about.

Even if Britain declares non-intervention completely at an acceptable line, it has to be manipulated that way.

What I say must become the truth.

Daring to support Huey Long’s government while also aiding communist Germany.

In order to contain Russia, you see. It doesn’t matter whether it’s manipulation or anything else.

Create a plausible pretext, and set the stage for Churchill to turn over the cabinet.

Baldwin and his cabinet will find it ridiculous. But Churchill could certainly make use of it.

“We have to stack up justifications. We must break the Anglo-Saxon allegiance. Just like Trotsky’s chicken revolution.”

Of course, we can’t control MacArthur either.

Considering that guy’s personality, he wouldn’t have the slightest intention to follow our orders, so we have to build goodwill as much as we can while helping.

“Understood.”

“Britain would dislike Russia getting friendly with America, so it’s a feasible proposition. Whether it’s Huey Long or KFC, support is certain. We just have to weave it a little bit.”

Of course, the source of the rumors could very well be Russia itself.

Churchill will actively use the rumors to topple the cabinet too.

Either way, as long as one keeps a good mouth shut, everything will be fine.

Utilizing Britain’s past antipathy against them. Furthermore, it must be demonstrated that incitement is not just a privilege of communists.

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

Honestly, Churchill’s call for the restoration of the American colonies.

I want to try that in the Russian version too, but that’s a shame.

“Oh, speaking of which, the Animal Protection Act has passed, hasn’t it?”

Looking at the pile of documents the Prime Minister placed in front of me, one of them stated the Animal Protection Act had passed.

“Yes, initially it was passed in Austria, but we thought it’d be okay for us to do the same.”

Ah, that Animal Protection Act?

The Nazi Germany’s Animal Protection Act was fine. I can accept that.
