[Russian Empire / Kosmos]
Third person POV
There was an old merchant guild on the other side of the continent and its influence was so great that even the great powers were afraid.
That merchant guild's wealth was derived from various factors such as the profits from the sale of various things
As they had a sea trade network that extended across continents from west to east
Along with that, the items that the merchant guild traded in were from cloth, food, resources, household items to slaves, weapons for other countries, and mana stones.
But the most important factor that started the growth of the merchant guild was when the Vetruocia-Agrium war first took place, causing the merchant guild to rise.
And now, in the sea, there are gradually different boats moving to the designated location
What's special is that those ships look like Victorian steamboats
Just like on the train there are some special people on the train to the Russian Empire with a special purpose
????: So this is Russia?
A young woman said as she clung to the wooden stick and looked at
????: Yes Miss Charlette it's their port city
A woman carefully said to the young blonde woman
Charlette: Interesting...
Charlette said while showing a small smile full of excitement while looking at that port city
Charlette: Hmm I'm quite surprised that a country is able to exist in this dead continent
????: What do you mean ma'am?
Charlette's Maid while looking at her mistress
Charlette: I wonder what kind of power they possessed that made them able to survive on it
Charlette put her index finger on her chin wondering when a mysterious country suddenly appeared on the dead continent, making her curious.
But it's also exciting when she learns that it's a whole new market for the merchant guild to thrive in
Charlette: Iris? Do you think they have anything special?
Iris: I'm not sure madam but I have a feeling that something unexpected will happen
Iris softly said
Charlette: So...
Charlette spoke thoughtfully and thought for a bit but then her servant appeared and announced
Navigator: Lady Charlette the ship of the Russian Empire is ahead
Charlette and Iris quickly looked into the distance the approaching hills gradually appeared and she was amazed when she saw the Russian Empire ship for the first time.
It resembled the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Britina navy, but she began to notice its firepower.
Aley class destroyer:
Consists of three main cannons and the rest are weird machine guns along with two torpedo tubes and it is quite similar to Britannia's cannons and torpedoes.
Charlette: Interesting...
Charlette said as she looked at the ship in surprise, she thought that although she knew there was certainly a difference in weapon specifications, she was still surprised by it when she realized that Russia's technological level could rival that of the Russians. the whole holy kingdom Britannia
But then a voice came from the loudspeaker, startling the whole crew on board
????: The boat ahead please stop, you are entering the waters of the Russian Empire, please announce your identity
It must be said that although the Russian Empire opened the door to allow merchant ships of merchants and other countries to exchange and trade, the Russian Coast Guard was still kept to guard against any threat from outside
Especially warships entering the territorial waters of the Russian Empire as in the case of Charlette
Then the captain of the ship came out and took the loud speaker from the sailor and gave it to him and said
Captain: We are from Prospère merchant guild, currently on our way to your country, we have received permission from Vetruocia to open trade in your country.
????: I see... Then sorry for our behavior but please follow us to follow the procedure.
Then the boat turned around to show the way, then the captain of the ship and Lady Charlette seemed rather hesitant but Lady Charlette told her.
Charlette: Just follow their instructions, captain, we're guests after all
Charlette spoke softly and the Captain breathed a sigh of relief
Captain: Yes madam
The captain then ordered his subordinates to inform the rest of the fleet as per their instructions
Iris: Madam the security team is ready
Charlette: Is that so?
Iris: Yes for the lady's safety
Charlette: *sigh* Yes I know you don't have to worry
Charlette sighed and said because of the overprotection she had
*Timeskip by an author frantically building ships in Azurlane*
When the ship docked, I disembarked with my escort, and the Russians waiting there greeted us.
????: Welcome to Russia!
A young man said with a smile as he looked at us
????: My name is Gunter of the Russian foreign ministry
He happily greeted me when he extended his hand as if he wanted to shake hands and I didn't see any problem with shaking hands anyway since we are in another country

[Russian Empire / Moscow Capital]
Third person POV
It's been 1 month since Avolos kingdom's diplomatic establishment visit to the Russian Empire, things have changed a lot
When the nations of the world were shocked at the existence of a country in the dead continent in the east and curious about it
So they sent their diplomats to that continent to establish diplomacy as well as spy on that country.
And there they were so completely shocked by the fleet of warships of the Russian navy that even the diplomatic mission of the Holy Kingdom of Britannia was amazed and embarrassed by the Tsar-class warships.
Also, when the diplomats came to Kosmos, they were as surprised as the diplomats of Avolos when they witnessed such miracles.
Like buildings, utensils, food and vehicles and other useful things
And there are countries that, after that diplomatic establishment, have begun to establish friendly diplomacy with the Russian Empire as well as agree to economic cooperation agreements with each other.
But the Russian Empire rejected offers to buy weapons and technology from other countries because of the new law because Sergey's proposal for a special law to the Duma parliament was enthusiastically supported by all members. member of parliament in the Duma
It is the law "Prohibition on the export of weapons and technology" to other countries for fear that it will lead to a new arms race as well as the loss of competitive advantages of Russian companies.
That makes other countries quite disappointed about it especially Britannia, Franceis and Germania
(A/N: Spoiler things change after a few events)
But that didn't matter when Russia's economic integration and development began to explode
As Russian companies can now export their products to foreign markets, they also benefit from new trade agreements.
Russian products are very popular with customers because of their high quality and low price, and have conquered the most demanding countries.
The amount of the budget of the Russian Empire is expected to increase many times from that export
Especially Sergey benefits when the money he earns from the quest is so much that he can buy many new technologies
There are also countries that don't care about establishing diplomacy because they think it's just a stupid barbarian country.
But now we return to the current main story and this time Sergey is currently not in Moscow but in Kosmos.
So now only Dimitri is in Moscow because both Liliya and Angela are with Sergey

[Russian Empire / Procyon]
Third person POV
And now we can see Dimitri at the secret weapons testing ground in the Titan Mountains in Procyon in the Russian Empire.
The Titan Mountains are a mountain range with a deep ridge and the watershed of a high river basin similar to the Ural Mountains of Russia, along with the discovery of the discovery by Russian geologists in those mountains.
The mountain range holds a large amount of rich mineral deposits within and it will be a driving force for Russian industry
And Dimitri's mission this time is very simple, just go there to observe and evaluate the capacity and combat power of a weapon of project 9504, also known as "Ice bomb".
It is a type of bomb that contains a mixture of Nitrogen and some materials extracted from magic stones and its ability is very different from other normal bombs because its purpose is made to resist vehicles. and infantry as well as delaying the enemy
????: Prepare to detonate the bomb! Please be careful comrades
The test target this time is a T-34-85 of the Russian Empire
Arkadi: And it's amazing that we were able to create such a special weapon
Arkadi is one of the talented scientists specializing in Russia when his field is chemical research and even though he is only 29 years old, his talent and reputation is not small.
As he has developed and researched many special civil and military projects as well as participating in some special government projects.
Dimitri: Yes I know
Dimitri said softly which made Arkadi nod in satisfaction then turned his face to look at the small experiment from a distance
????: Oh Comrade Dimitri, Comrade Arkadi!
A smooth voice of a woman suddenly appeared making Dimitri and Arkadi surprised and turned to look at him.
Dimitri, Arkadi: Anna?
Both of them said in surprise when they saw Anna walking over
She has a slim build with light blonde hair and light blue eyes, and is dressed in the military uniform of the Russian Empire.
Her beauty and charm made Arkadi blush but Dimitri kept his cheerful smile.
Arkadi: Wait Anna what are you doing here?
Anna said with a beautiful smile as she greeted Dimitri then she continued
Anna: Oh comrade, don't be too surprised to see me
Dimitri: So what are you doing here?
Dimitri asked curiously when he remembered that she is currently working at the foreign ministry
Anna: Are you not happy to see me?
Anna puffed her cheeks and said that Dimitri smiled softly and said to her
Dimitri: That's not what I mean, I'm just surprised that you're here, I thought you were in Moscow doing some work-
When Dimitri finished his sentence, Anna suddenly covered his mouth and she put her index finger to her lips and said
Anna: Shhhh
Dimitri: This girl...
Dimitri said a bit annoyed while looking at Anna with strange eyes
Anna: Anyway, shall we observe this little experiment?
Anna smiled and said as if nothing happened
Dimitri: *Sigh* Yes maybe...
Helpless Dimitri Dimitri said as he raised the binoculars to observe the small solution
When everything was ready, Arkadi ordered a test detonation of the bomb
*BOOOOM*
When the bomb was detonated, a white explosion appeared and white smoke quickly froze everything
The other tank is now completely frozen after the explosion instead of being destroyed
Arkadi: It works!!!
Arkadi said happily looking at the test results
Anna: Everything seems to be going pretty well, right?
Anna asked Dimitri with a smile as she looked at the results of this experiment
Dimitri nodded in satisfaction and said after observing this test result
Dimitri: Yes, it looks like the results are better than I expected
Arkadi: Oh yes, do you two want to come to my place? We'll have a party to celebrate
Arkadi said excitedly while looking at the two of them
Anna: Sorry comrade but I still have some paperwork to deal with
Dimitri: I still have to write a report for the master so I might not be able to come
Dimitri and Anna said that made Arkadi a bit disappointed about that
