From the chilly island of Novaya Zelmya Alexander made another flight to one of the largest territories of the Ruthenian Empire, Kazakhstan.
The territory of Kazakhstan was conquered by the Ruthenian Empire during its conquest of Central Asia which took place in the second half of the nineteenth century. Not only was it one of the largest territories by size but also of strategic importance. Thinking that the world is geographically the same as his original world, then the land of Kazakhstan holds the world's largest uranium reserves in the world with over three hundred thousand metric tons.
Alexander knew the importance of uranium for his nuclear energy and weapons program and its application for military purposes such as the depleted uranium for tank armor and ammunition.
