So Roman as Amur Governor-General had to focus first on Korea's military.
'If Korean ports and capital hadn't fallen so easily, would we have needed to build fortresses at the Yalu River and Port Arthur?'
Of course not. The enemy would have had headaches just figuring out how to handle amphibious operations.
So naturally the stronger Korea's military, the more war deterrence emerges in this Far East.
Then strengthened Korea trusts its military and breaks protector-protectorate relations?
Roman didn't think Korea would be so unable to discern reason.
That would mean immediate annihilation by the Far Eastern Army so it couldn't happen.
"Seeing the troops dispatched in the last war, it's entirely possible. The military can be built up together going forward, but most important is."
"What is it?"
"Create a State Duma."
"...Pardon?"
Yi Wan-yong was momentarily flustered and unconsciously questioned strangely.
