186 Airborne Forces and Sea Infiltration (2)

After the establishment of the Joseon Federation, Northeast Asia developed rapidly.

As funds from the Netherlands, Austria, and the Federation of Easterfield poured into Hanyang, Joseon, the neighborhood changed day by day.

In addition, the funds flowing into the Soviet government were evenly invested in China and Japan, providing a driving force to move 600,000 construction and exporters.

Lee Gak received a report on this.

“Special zones have been established in Hanyang, Pyongyang, Kaesong, Uiju, Busan, Mokpo, and Jeju, and funds are being transfused into Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. In addition, we are in the process of establishing factories in Beijing, Shanghai, and Qingdao. It will probably be completed within a year.”

“Okay, we have a lot of manpower, so things go very quickly.”

As 600,000 manpower met and worked with heavy equipment, the expansion of the city and the construction of infrastructure developed incredibly rapidly.

Hanyang repaired water and sewage systems and installed septic tanks, while maintaining important old buildings in the city center, while demolishing thatched houses and shabby shanty towns.

I was building an apartment building in the city center, and the architectural style was a multi-story tiled house.

Because of that, the urban landscape retains the characteristics of Joseon even though skyscrapers are just beginning to emerge.

Such urbanization was not only taking place in Joseon, but also in Tokyo and Beijing, so it would be only a matter of time before the entire federation would change.

From now on, it was important to strengthen stability along with speed warfare.

“How is the establishment of local government progressing?”

“In China and Japan, both the President and the House of Representatives were elected simultaneously through Japanese colonial rule. In addition, the judiciary and the executive branch were established, and the courts were established.”

“The composition is very quick.”

“You have advisors from the easterfield mainland, aren’t you?”

There was a difference between having advisors and not having advisors.

Because there were only 100 or so of them, the foundation of the government was being established in just three months.

“It will soon be possible to form a Soviet government.”

“Anyway, we are in the process of forming the Federal Council for the Soviet Union meeting. The members are elected from each country, and the main body of the meeting is Joseon.”

I thought that there would definitely be some noise as the composition of the parliament was quick.

Lee Gak decided to contact the mainland and ask for a parliamentary bill to come forward.

“Call your Majesty. I’m asking you to introduce a small council bill. I want the decision to be made as noise-free as possible.”

“I will.”

Soon, another report arrived for Lee Gak.

That was the relationship with Vietnam.

Vietnam was more aggressive than expected, and was resisting, saying that it would preserve its authority as an imperial state regardless of the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

“It seems that the embarrassment system is going to resist until the end.”

“What do you think is left of such resistance?”

“It sounds like you have purchased 30,000 matchlocks.”

“Three thousand tablets?”

No matter how old the matchlock is, it has become a rare item for hunting, but there are not many people who can pour out 30,000 bullets at once.

First of all, Lee Gak decided to take the lead in making the best of friendship with Vietnam.

“For now, let’s make peace with them as the best way to go and find the next best solution.”

“Are you attacking them by saying the next best thing?”

“It could also be a measure. But rather than that, wouldn’t we be able to deter them through neighboring countries?”

“Thailand or the Sultanates of Southeast Asia, for example?”

“Yeah, what would happen if those countries refused to establish diplomatic ties any longer? At the top, we are under pressure, and at the bottom, if they refuse to establish diplomatic ties and break the ties, they are locked up in isolation.”

“Ugh!”

It is absurd to say that no matter how lonely a general, living only in the domestic waters without establishing diplomatic ties.

Lee Gak was trying to take advantage of that point actively.

Another report arrived at Lee Gak, who was discussing foreign affairs.

It was about the abolition of the seowon, hyanggyo, and yangban system.

***

Joseon experienced the largest revolution since its founding.

It was the abolition of the class system and the abolition of vows, also known as the ‘revolution of King Isapi’.

It meant the king of Isapi who pronounced Easterfield in transliteration, that is, the revolution of Yi Hwan.

In Joseon, Lee Hwan’s study was named Isapihak, and a university was established to teach it.

With the rise of this school of education, the status system was completely abolished in Joseon, and elementary education was made compulsory.

No matter how hard it is, working during the day and studying at least one person at night has become the basic principle.

As my enthusiasm for learning grew like this, I realized how unreasonable it is to say that seowon, hyanggyo, and Yurim are behind the scenes.

Now, Seowon and Yurim have been reduced to merely representative academic research institutes and organizations in the region, and the yangbans have gone down a path of decline.

Early in the morning, an inspector came down from Hanyang.

The prosecution, which was created with support from Easterfield, will remain as it is until the first judicial examination, and will gradually reduce the number of dispatched positions from next year, when the judicial examination is held.

Inspectors came out to catch a yangban who was hiding in a seowon with the help of citizens and the police.

“Not all yangbans are subject to punishment. What are you guilty of?”

“Not only did I beat up slaves every day, but I also harassed and raped women in the neighborhood from time to time. It is basic to receive usury and collect slaves every month.”

“Hmm, then you should be punished enough.”

If you punish people simply for appealing to their emotions, the courts will not function.

Knowing this well, inspectors were always nervous when they came down to the provinces to do their work.

It’s not like you can’t just catch a stranger and give it a shot.

The inspectors visited the seowon in Iri, Jeollabuk-do.

Seowon was blocking the surrounding area, even mobilizing armed forces that looked like private soldiers.

The faces of the inspectors were contorted.

“… … They had enlisted men.”

“Isn’t it illegal?”

“Of course it is illegal. Currently, those who can be hired as bodyguards are managed by the state.”

The personnel for escort, escort, and escort will be managed by the state for the time being, and when know-how is accumulated and operation is established, the company will be split into several and privatized.

This was a policy to prevent the occurrence of yangbans and middle-class people who committed a crime and hid to cover it up.

It was clearly a criminal offense to ignore such a policy.

The inspectors shouted at the militants guarding the vows.

“If you don’t disarm now, the local defense forces will come!”

“… … Catch him!”

As soon as the inspectors talked about the local defense forces, men with matchlock guns poured out from all directions.

Where the hell did they get such a matchlock, the inspectors were busy running away, even though they were surprised.

This is because inspectors were not officially permitted to be armed.

“Shit! Prosecutors should also suggest that you hand out the pistol!”

“Inspector, how are you now?!”

“Once you get to the point where you can use the phone!”

Matchlock is not only less accurate, but also needs to calculate the burning time of the wick.

It is said that a matchlock gun is quite difficult to shoot.

Tang Tang!

However, the skill of shooting the matchlock was unique.

Scratch!

A bullet struck the inspector’s shoulder.

“Ugh!”

“Inspector!”

“Those guys aren’t normal… … ?”

“It appears to have been professionally trained.”

“Are you from the Central Army?”

“All members of the Central Army are being trained as mercenaries by the Easterfield Federal Army. Probably not.”

“Damn it, then what?”

Matchlocks need time to reload after one shot.

They continued to pursue, repeating one side chasing and the other reloading.

It was clear that he had learned a strategy centered on matchlock guns.

“I must tell you this! hurry!”

“There is a police station nearby! Let’s go there!”

The Erie East Police Station was right in front of it, so the inspectors ran to it with all their might.

As soon as I saw the police station, I immediately opened the door and went in.

Quang!

“Save people!”

“Huh, what?! Were you shot?”

“I am an inspector from Hanyang! Contact the local National Guard immediately! hurry!”

“Local National Guard?”

The police officers tilted their heads, and their questions were resolved in less than 30 seconds.

Tang Tang Tang!

Some officers were injured by bullets passing through the police station, and some even had their necks pierced.

“Ahhh!”

“This detective!”

“Damn, what motherf*ckers?!”

Police officers only then realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately informed the local National Guard hotline of the presence of armed forces.

Wow!

After receiving the news through the hotline, a five-minute waiting team was dispatched.

There was some distance from the police station, but the timing was good as the waiting group was reconnaissance nearby.

The 12 soldiers who arrived in a convoy truck were armed with automatic rifles and common firearms.

“There are about 50 enemies ahead!”

“What are so many? As soon as you see them, shoot them all.”

Those who came out of Easterfield’s mainland were people who were reborn as sharpshooters through a wealth of practical experience.

But even for them, their opponents were never formidable.

Taang!

“Huh! Are you sharp?”

“Being able to shoot this much with a matchlock means that you have great shooting skills… … .”

“Maybe they are mercenaries?”

“mercenary?”

“I heard that some of the mercenaries in Joseon have received special training. They are hunters who catch tigers and leopards.”

In the mountains of Joseon, interchanges occurred frequently enough that the government controlled entry into the mountains.

For this reason, there were many cases where catchers were hired to catch tigers, but now, for some reason, such people are hiding in the dark and not showing up.

“Um, it seems so. It’s not normal.”

“If there are 50 crazy monsters like that, doesn’t it mean that we should also bring them in?”

“Hmm, nothing. Call in the sniper squad.”

Since the local defense force had a sniper squad, it was possible to provide rapid fire support.

In addition, these are soldiers who have gone through many battles as veterans in battle.

On the day they fell into their hands, they had no choice but to step on the threshold of the underworld.

Easterfield’s intelligence was unparalleled, so it took less than 10 minutes for the sniper squad to arrive.

5 minute standby The captain asked the sniper squad leader to kill the enemy.

“The workmanship of these guys is not normal. You guys have to deal with it.”

“There are quite a few of them. From what I saw earlier, he seemed to be quite good at it, but where the hell did you get these guys from?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, can you win the sniper battle?”

The snipers taught me one very obvious truth.

That was the difference in weapons.

“Our Easterfield snipers in the Commonwealth base fire from 300 meters away. Their bullets don’t even have an effective range of 300 meters. It means that if they shoot, they can’t reach it.”

“Oh, there was a way!”

“Then we will start shooting.”

The snipers, who climbed up the surrounding mountains in search of 50 prey, began using their telescopes to locate the enemy.

Then fire control began.

“Right 3 mil calibration.”

“Feeling… … .”

The sniper consisted of a total of 12 people, and the assistant gunner provided support based on strict fire control.

They all started firing at once.

“I go to the effector. launch.”

Taang!

When 12 people pulled the trigger at the same time, the enemies just poured out their brains and died.

But surprisingly, only half of them avoided the attack.

“… … What, why do you feel so good?”

“It seems that the sense of combat that I learned on the battlefield has reached its peak.”

No matter how good a sniper is, it is impossible to recognize the enemy’s attack to such an extent. In a nutshell, this meant they were pros among pros.

After a while, another fire was fired.

Taang!

This time, with the exception of two, the fire failed.

“misfire.”

“Damn, can you possibly be that agile?”

The second-in-command looked at the battlefield through telescopes.

Meanwhile, one of the sergeants realized that the number of dead enemies was a little short.

“… … It’s a rear attack! Everyone get ready for battle!”

When Easterfield’s sniper squad came to their senses, the Joseon mercenaries had already attacked from the rear.

Tang Tang!

“Kill!”

“Ahhh!”

Four gunners and four assistants were killed in the sniper squad.

The snipers who immediately drew out their pistols dealt with the mercenaries belatedly, but there was already blood everywhere.

Tang Tang!

“Cuckoo!”

“Damn it, come to your senses!”

Surprisingly, while the enemy was being shot by Easterfield, he was even thinking of pulling back his troops and making a surprise attack.

It meant that he was good at strategy and tactics and that he could freely fly the battlefield.

Just imagining what would happen to them if they were given state-of-the-art scientific weapons, the sniper squad became terrifying.

“… … You must kill all enemies. If we leave it as it is, it will be a repercussion for us forever.”
