Hwan Lee, who was staying at the Second Royal Palace in the Netherlands, heard about the Australian problem.

He wrote diplomatic documents directly to Britain.

[We are going to house all Aboriginal people in Australia. In England, stop the slaughter and oppression, and if there are Aboriginal people who want to go south, send them in. Please.]

Yi Hwan very politely sent a letter to England to stop the massacre of indigenous people.

If Britain did not stop the killing of indigenous people, Yi Hwan was willing to use force.

“Has the advance squadron of the 9th Fleet arrived in Asia?”

“The ferry has arrived. They say they are stably supporting our allies.”

“After that, keep sending the latter. The 8th Fleet should also be dispatched additionally.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Anyway, do you have enough troops?”

“For now, it looks like it will be possible until this dispatch, but beyond that, it seems that additional recruitment will be necessary.”

“Even if we die and wake up, I think we should have a population of 500,000.”

“Your Majesty, how about offering high salaries to countries that are part of the Easterfield Federation and recruiting them?”

“You’re a recruiter.”

“If you send soldiers for recruitment and give the country some diplomatic privileges, wouldn’t it be strongly encouraged?”

Lee Hwan decided to accept the advice of his servants.

“good night. Then take down the school paper and tell the Federation that we are recruiting troops.”

“Yes, my lord!”

The Easterfield Federation Army is a multiracial army, so no matter where you are recruiting, there will be no difference.

In particular, since the Ottomans, Arabia, and Africa have recently joined the federation, if recruitment is possible, 500,000 people will be able to mobilize.

“Population is always a problem.”

“I think the solution to procurement lies in Asia.”

“Well.”

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea to join the federation of many islands in Oceania, such as Papua New Guinea, one after another, once you’ve captured Australia.”

“Well, the natives must also live there, right?”

“of course.”

“Yeah, so we can come up with a way to accommodate the population as much as possible so that we can report it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Lee Hwan’s diplomatic documents and gyoji moved through telegrams, respectively.

***

As Lee Hwan’s teachings spread throughout the Federation, each country began to recruit one by one.

If you join the Federal Army, you will earn enough money to live a decent life on Easterfield mainland.

In particular, Easterfield’s naval policy, which made it legal to plunder pirates or rob merchant ships of warring countries, would quickly raise the military to the middle class.

Such an Easterfield dream was passed on to the youth of the Federation and allowed them to have inflated dreams.

As the season was just approaching early summer, the recruits sent to each country had a hard time accommodating the huge crowd of young people.

“Physical health!”

“Can you see well?”

“Yes, it is!”

“Isn’t there anything inconvenient?”

“That’s right!”

“Then it’s okay, okay?”

“thank you!”

“But we have to find out if we are ready to work for our Federation. Go to the Counseling Officer and get an interview.”

“Are you successful if you just have an interview?”

“Of course. If accepted, I will pack my bags and go to Easterfield mainland, then go to the Netherlands for training.”

“Oh oh… … !”

There was only one thing the recruits saw: a healthy body and mind.

If that were the case, race and nationality would not be a problem at all.

Administrative Officer for Recruitment in Central Africa, Julian Osdock, looked at the soldier who had just left the barracks and asked the lieutenants.

“If you receive counseling and are judged unsuitable, don’t they hold grudges?”

“Sometimes it happens, but I know that there is no particular resentment because the Federation provides so much money these days. Of course, if you drop out of the recruitment, there is a possibility that you will be treated like an idiot in the neighborhood because you can’t be a good person.”

Recently, the climate of Africa spreads as if it was a duty to burn youth for the sake of the country and the Commonwealth.

This will be possible because the Easterfield Union Army recruits continue to spread word of mouth.

Although he recruited 100,000 troops a month, Julian Osdog was still thirsty.

“Let us share the benefits as much as we can afford.”

“How much do you think the target recruitment is?”

“We need to secure at least 300,000 and reserve troops, so make sure to prepare countermeasures for that.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Oh, and get some black or African natives from among the high-ranking military officials.”

“It is said that the 4th Army commander and staff will come down here from the mainland sooner or later.”

“Hmm, the best thing would be to bring in the Director of Intelligence.”

Easterfield’s intelligence chief, who is said to be one of Lee’s closest associates of African descent, was one of the highest ranked figures in the federal army.

If he visits Africa, he would be very grateful as a recruiting officer, but the secret rule of the intelligence service was not to reveal his identity to anyone, including the director.

It is known that the size of the organization reached 100,000, including special forces, various spies, and counter-espionage groups, but the identity of the agents was unknown.

It is known that only elites trained to test the limits of human beings reside there.

“For now, send me a letter to the mainland.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Three middle-aged men came to an old pub in Manchester, England.

They had already been smoking for hours without a glass of wine.

The owner of the tavern said to them as if bruising them.

“What kind of bastard smokes a cigarette and kills time without ordering a bottle of cheap rum?”

“You said I have a companion.”

“… … If you don’t wait another hour or so, I know you’ll be kicked out.”

“Do what you want.”

Manchester’s pubs, also known as the workers’ city, were mostly filled with thriving men, and their owners, of course, were of the same character.

The three men were still smoking, despite warnings that even thought they were bloody.

Then the door to the bar opened.

“… … did you come?”

“You waited a long time.”

The person who came in with the door open seemed to have suffered quite a bit, even at a glance.

“What would you like to eat?”

“I’d like to have a drink first.”

“Tsuk, didn’t you get a bottle of rum and drink it on the way?”

“Rum is also precious in Australia.”

“Well, that would be it.”

Sugarcane rum was often considered a cheap drink, common in South America, but everything was limited in Australia.

So it was not easy to drink a glass of alcohol.

After a while, the owner came out with rum.

“… … Thank you.”

“Is that the person called the party?”

As soon as he saw the rum, he opened the lid and started gulping it down.

Watching the rum gulp down, the owner stuck out his tongue.

“What steel is the throat made of? No, did you lose any enemies with alcohol?”

“… … One more bottle, please.”

“Well, that’s right.”

It was like he had a grudge because he couldn’t drink alcohol.

After a while, when the bottles were delivered again, a glass of alcohol was also given to the three middle-aged men.

However, after one drink, it disappeared like alcohol was sucked into his throat without fail.

He had another reason for doing this.

“… … The barbarians are going down south.”

“Southern?”

“It may be because of the massacre of more than 10,000, but the movement is quite fast.”

Most of the migrants sent by the British government were vagabonds who had committed war crimes or set fire to factories and fled.

By ordering such criminals to be slaughtered, the indigenous people of the Visible tribe had no choice but to be slaughtered.

However, it was difficult for them to continue to slaughter people.

This man has been killing people for over three years in Australia, but he has never even seen a bottle of that common rum.

It was because the cost of the lives of the Indians was less than a pig.

“Was the act of slaughtering 10,000 people a little too much?”

“… … I think the government said it was concerned about the explosion of the indigenous population.”

“Um, was it?”

“Anyway, I can’t do this anymore. Give me the money you promised.”

Three middle-aged men pulled out leather pockets from their arms.

There were only a few gold coins in the leather pocket.

“One Guinea gold coin.”

“… … Is this all? Even if you eat only oily rice in Sweden, you can earn money in a year.”

“If you like Sweden that much, go there, why did you go all the way to Australia to kill people?”

“Didn’t you say back then that you were an animal, not a human?”

“Indigenous people are animals. It’s a beast, not a human. no?”

British radicals often proposed a number of theories to justify colonial rule, and the most admired among them was the theory of the just development of colonies.

The New World is messed up by savages, and it is the edification of the savages that civilizes them.

Criticism of this is that it is a legitimate act for fear of population explosion that some people die in the process of indoctrination, and according to the ‘Malthus trap’, it brazenly draws a line to spare even one unnecessary mouth.

One young man is now tired of such brazenness.

“… … Anyway, I know. Then I will.”

“No, wait.”

“What else?”

“I heard that Easterfield has banned merchants from the south Melbourne-Victorian border. Is it true?”

“That’s right. Somehow, it seemed to be saying that the entry was banned due to road construction.”

“Road construction?”

“We were planning to drill a highway to connect the whole of Australia.”

In fact, the British had been suspicious of the Easterfield Federation for some time.

They wondered if they were actually hiding something to occupy Australia and plunder resources.

Of course, it was only heartbreaking, so making the problem visible was taboo.

However, according to the testimonies of so-called ‘Aboriginal hunters’ returning from Australia, there was talk of whether such taboos should be broken little by little.

“It is said that highway connections are the only way to fatten Australia.”

“Yeah, it must be because the utility pole is connected and the electricity is connected.”

“Everyone likes to have electricity. There are people who are quite excited.”

“Um, is that so?”

“Anyway, I’ll go for it. I am not comfortable being here anymore.”

“Well, yes.”

After the young man left, the three middle-aged men came together.

They pulled out a roll of paper and started scribbling something with ink on it.
