Franchise God Episode 1603

Chapter 344 Landmark Rush (2)

Since the outbreak of war, France had been projecting all its reconnaissance forces onto its own soil.

All but one of the military reconnaissance satellites changed their orbits so that they would pass over our country.

The other unit was deployed to reconnoiter the Korean Peninsula.

During this process, a significant amount of fuel was consumed due to the forced orbit change, and the satellite’s lifespan was drastically reduced.

Operation ‘Day Without Hands’ was launched, and the next morning, the French government, which had retreated to Nancy, could not believe its eyes when it saw the updated satellite photos.

“What is this? Why is the Eiffel Tower gone? The Louvre? Where did Notre Dame Cathedral go?”

“Look this way.”

The Secretary of Defense carefully pointed to another part of the satellite image.

The president, who had been staring intently, finally came to a realization and his expression distorted.

“Are the buildings moving right now?”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

“No, make sense. How on earth did you manage to move that big building in one night?”

“We can’t send reconnaissance planes over Paris, so we can’t confirm this at this point, but it seems to be true that the Korean military is tearing down and moving landmarks of Paris.

“Reconnaissance photos don’t lie.”

“So that makes sense! Isn’t it because the resolution is low that you misinterpreted the information?”

“It’s true that the satellite photos have lower resolution than the concert cams, but this much is clear: The Korean military is moving landmark buildings in Paris.”

The cabinet simply could not believe this fact.

Something that was far beyond their common sense was happening now.

Taking over Paris and carrying out a landmark migration in one day.

“I don’t understand. If you want to move a building, you have to put it on wheels, on foot, on a train, or something. Is there a technology that can safely move that many buildings in one night? Is there a method?”

“I don’t know that at this point.”

While I was trying hard to avoid reality, the answer I desperately wanted arrived from across the water, in Korea.

The Korean military has officially revealed the landmark migration to their own country.

The French cabinet is live in Korea

I watched the military channel that was being broadcast in a daze.

“Look, my fellow citizens! Our countless cultural assets that the French plundered are being loaded onto ships, including the Louvre Museum!”

“The museum is being transferred onto a barge by a tracked transporter that can move thousands of tons of weight while supporting the entire museum from the ground up!”

“Oh, that’s sad news. They say that France’s major cultural assets, including the Mona Lisa, were not found at the Louvre. It seems that they were taken away by the French government during their hasty withdrawal from Paris.”

“Even while abandoning all the citizens of Paris and evacuating, it seems that they could not give up the Mona Lisa.”

As the entire Louvre Palace was transformed into a moving landscape with caterpillars running throughout, the temporary bunker became quiet.

As I watched the Louvre Palace and other landmarks, including Notre Dame Cathedral, moving in a row, I felt dizzy and almost faint.

Now that I think about it, the Eiffel Tower is already gone by boat and I can’t even see it.

From a Korean perspective, the Louvre Palace, which houses many looted cultural assets, was a greater object of interest than the Eiffel Tower, but no one in the government saw through it.

“Isn’t that a composite?”

After a long time, the president finally opened his mouth.

It wasn’t a self-deprecating question, but rather a question so absurd that it was hard to believe.

The nuance was that I was genuinely thinking that the scene was a composite.

“It can’t be synthetic. If we lie to our own people on such a large scale, we won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

“What if it wasn’t a composite? What on earth happened overnight that caused all those buildings to be built on top of the orbital vehicles?”

” ….”

Of course, no one could explain that fact.

Even the Minister of Defense initially doubted his ears when he received the satellite photos and reports.

“Tell me. Does this make sense? Is it physically possible? It would be more believable if I were just a common brain that received electric stimulation from Ha Soo-young and thought I was the President of France!”

The Secretary of Defense thought it was fortunate that the President was more calm than expected.

During Ha Su-yeong’s song of abundance, he was so angry that he collapsed.

The Minister of Defense, who carefully raised his eyes, was startled.

In contrast to his calm tone, the president’s face was bright red as if he was about to explode at any moment.

thud!

“Yes, Mr. President!”

“Call the doctor! Call the doctor! Quickly!”

“The President has collapsed! Call a doctor! Call a doctor!”

The landmark migration had a global impact.

The South Korean military was tearing down landmarks with a certain level of tourist value, loading them onto barges, and sending them back to the Korean Peninsula.

Paris was the center of attention with a warm response both at home and abroad.

The Korean-French War has already passed out of public interest.

-It’s only been a day since we entered Paris, but when did we put all those buildings on wheels?

-The swimming group’s technology is so advanced that it is indistinguishable from magic.

-I don’t know about anything else, but it’s really amazing that they lifted and moved the entire Montmartre hill. Doesn’t the ship sink? Shouldn’t it sink to be normal?

-That’s definitely not a weight that can be solved by buoyancy alone. There must be another force at work. For example, anti-gravity?

-If you think about the orbital elevator in Cheongdam-dong, it seems like an anti-gravity device.

-Considering that the tall and heavy tower remains upright, it seems like an anti-gravity device has been developed.

-If there’s an anti-gravity device, it wouldn’t be difficult to lift it off the ground and load it onto a vehicle.

-No, think about it. Then why bother loading it onto a vehicle and moving it when you can just move it? It just takes more time.

-That’s right. It’s definitely not an anti-gravity device. There’s no way such a thing could have been developed.

– Since the energy consumption is so large, I guess they’re transported by orbital vehicle. There are more than one or two large and heavy landmarks, so how much energy would it take to transport all of them to Korea using anti-gravity devices?

– Haha, everyone is talking about it as an anti-gravity device.

-There has been a lot of talk about anti-gravity technology being questioned since the orbital elevator. If it weren’t for that, the tower wouldn’t have been able to hold on without falling over.

-Not only the tower, but the entire elevator body goes up and down, which cannot be explained without anti-gravity technology.

-But when will the Cheongdam elevator go up to space?

-I understand that it has stopped at 150km due to an orbital collision problem with another satellite.

-Didn’t the US push that forward with its guns?

-The United States is in chaos these days because it’s breaking the America Treaty.

-If the Federation and the United States fight each other, only China and Russia will quietly laugh behind their backs.

Meanwhile, there was also a flood of requests to stop by Korea briefly before leaving the Landmark Group in China.

-Can you please leave Paris in Korea for a little while, even if it’s for a year or even 6 months? Please, I beg you.

-If you make unforgettable memories during your short stay in Korea, even though it is shabby, I will cherish those memories as a lifelong heirloom.

The swimming group also seriously considered exhibiting in Korea for a period of time.

But unfortunately, it was rejected.

“Thank you for your support. Unfortunately, there is no flat land in Korea that can accommodate all of the Paris landmarks at once, so we are unable to hold the exhibition.”

In Korea, a mountainous region, the wide plains have either been developed long ago, used as farmland, or are designated as green belts.

So, although it might be okay to display one or two small landmarks, we couldn’t secure enough space to display all of them at once.

“But don’t be too disappointed. The Eiffel Tower will be exhibited for a long time at the private estate of former President Ha Su-yeong in Cheongdam-dong, so we look forward to many visitors.”

Before China even crossed the French border, most of Paris’ landmarks were on barges bound for Korea.

The Korean army swept away and loaded down almost every structure except private residences.

“This isn’t a landmark, it’s just a small private museum, isn’t it?”

“I don’t know. First of all, Goliath is loaded onto the tracked vehicle, so he’s sending it. Or maybe all of Goliath has been withdrawn, so you want to get off?”

“No. I will send that too.”

It had a reputation as a cultural city.

Almost all buildings seemed to have high tourist value, and as a result, Paris was torn down as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped nearby.

Rather, the newly built, futuristic landmark boasting a sophisticated design was still standing intact.

A fleet of barges carrying landmarks headed to the Korean Peninsula under heavy escort by Sejong the Great-class destroyers and fighter jets.

Anti-submarine helicopters launched from destroyers maintained close quarters and prepared for submarine attacks 24 hours a day.

Because four French strategic submarines and five attack submarines have not yet been captured.

The French submarines, realizing early on that they were no match for them, sailed far out to sea and their whereabouts are unknown.

Anti-submarine helicopters broadcast warnings nonstop through sonar devices lowered below the surface.

“French submarines, listen up. For every attack on our Republic of Korea ships, you will unleash 100 high explosive bombs on French unoccupied cities. I repeat. For every attack, 100 high explosive bombs… … .”

French submarines that had picked up the transmission also knew that the barge was carrying Paris landmarks.

At first, they decided to attack, thinking that they would rather sink it in the sea than be captured.

But before they could put it into action, the South Korean Navy was broadcasting warnings around the barge via anti-submarine helicopters.

The submariners who took French nationals hostage were furious but had no choice but to abandon the landmark attack.

“These evil bastards! They threatened the lives of so many civilians just to save a building! Even the Nazis didn’t go this far!”

Paris was a desolate place, with its cultural buildings torn down indiscriminately.

French scouts watching from afar through binoculars cried out that even during World War II, when the country was under German rule, things were not like this.

Now I had to admit it.

Paris, once the epicenter of culture and fashion, no longer exists.

France, whose civilian infrastructure was destroyed by solar winds, was not equipped to properly fight against the Korean military.

Even neighboring countries were blocking normal logistics out of concern for Korea.

Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium, which share a border with France, have locked down their borders and are not allowing any goods to cross into France.

They were facing the Korean army in a completely isolated state on all sides.

And finally, the Chinese army arrived at the Russo-Wu front line.

The movement speed was much slower than the Korean army had expected.

The Chinese army, which once again visited the Ukrainian border, had new feelings.

Unlike the previous time when only some units of the Army had come, this time the Air Force was also there. The entire expeditionary force was filled with pride that they would never give up.

There was just a little problem.

“The distance from here to Paris is 2,700 km.”

The straight-line distance is approximately 2,300 km.

However, the route back via the Baltic Sea to avoid German airspace is approximately 2,700 km.

“And the J-20, the tactical aircraft of our proud People’s Liberation Army Air Force, has the longest combat radius of 2,000 km.”

It was too far to Paris for the escort fighters to follow them all the way.

“Then just send the bombers.”
