Chapter 345: Strategy and Tactics of the Small People (1)
“The F-22 is nothing special. The People’s Liberation Army’s J-20 is the best.”
The Chinese military’s only achievement was shooting down 60 old KF-16s, but it was disguised and reported as shooting down 120 F-22s.
Even the US Air Force laughed at how ridiculous it was.
“There are probably less than 100 F-22s delivered to Korea so far. What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Our US military has less than 190 F-22s, but this is truly a lie. It is continental in scale.”
“What I find most surprising is that Chinese people believe such ridiculous lies. You can tell it’s a lie just by looking at the numbers.”
“The truth is not important to the Chinese. What matters is whether or not they feel proud of being Chinese.”
The U.S. Air Force was constantly monitoring the battlefield situation.
“The J-25 is said to be a fifth-generation fighter, but it is a Chinese-made fighter that has not been tested in actual combat at all. Even though the KF-16 is a 4.5-generation model, it makes no sense for it to be annihilated so unilaterally.”
“I guess he was shot down on purpose?”
“Yes. None of the emergency parachutes were found.”
The U.S. Air Force thought it had applied AI unmanned combat systems to its aircraft.
However, I did not think of it as a remote control system.
“Perhaps they would have used Freedom, an android specialized in piloting, instead of a pilot.”
“It’s such a shame to burn 60 Androids worth over 5 million dollars.”
“That was a long time ago. The current starting price of Android Freedom is about 1.5 million dollars. Since they are produced in such large quantities, the price has come down considerably.”
“Oh, really? Then I guess we can count it as one anti-aircraft missile.”
“There was a time when it was worth $50 million per unit.”
The U.S. Air Force was convinced that the South Korean Navy had intentionally lost all 60 of its KF-16s.
The reason was difficult to pinpoint.
“South Korea is preparing to introduce an additional 1,026 F-22s and F-35®. It seems that they are trying to get rid of all the old fighters for management efficiency.”
When the number of fighters increases to this extent, it is true that it is more convenient to organize the smaller aircraft.
Just like the US military standardized all fuel from tanks to fighter jets to aviation fuel to make supplies easier.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more profitable to sell it to other countries and get paid for it? Countries like Australia, Poland, and Ireland would be the first to buy it.”
It may be a problem from Korea’s perspective, but those countries, especially Ireland, are a tempting target.
“Considering the friendly relations between the Federation and Ireland, it would be much more beneficial to give it away for free.”
“It may be that they are trying to make China let its guard down.”
“It’s a case of carelessness… … If so, why?”
“There is only one reason that seems most plausible: the escalation of the war.”
“It’s a sure thing.”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
The commander rubbed his neck for no reason, loosening the stiff muscles.
“China has gained confidence. They think that if they continue to push ahead and support France, they can gain a lot from this war. Moreover, China has burned a huge amount of money, 1 trillion euros, on legacy semiconductors.”
“In the worst case scenario, even if France wants to surrender, China may oppose it.”
“A localized third world war may break out.”
Even in the neighboring towns, Ukraine and Russia are fighting fiercely.
What if the flames of the Korean-French War and the flames of the Russian-Russian War meet?
Will the two fires eventually die down, or will they merge into a forest fire that consumes all of Europe?
“And yet, because of internal strife, we in the United States are unable to do anything… …
After Drowen’s resignation, Republicans were increasingly vocal in their demand to unravel the true nature of the American Treaty.
There was even talk of imposing sanctions on South Korea and the South Korean Federation.
It was frustrating for soldiers to see that they were doing this again after so much time had passed since they had been hit so hard in the first semiconductor war.
‘The Swimming Federation is a blood alliance that we have to stay together for the rest of our lives. It’s no different from common-law spouses. But they’re getting angry and saying they want to break up because I didn’t even register my marriage. It’s driving me crazy.’
From the perspective of the US military, the reason why Rep. Ban Ha-soo is making such a fuss is simple.
The fact that he is not American.
They are pressuring her to register her marriage because they are not satisfied with just living together. They cannot even imagine that this could lead to a breakup.

The source of the Yangtze River is contaminated with radioactivity due to nuclear explosions.
However, thanks to the decontamination equipment that Ha Su-yeong received money to install, the middle and lower reaches of the river were free from radioactive contamination.
The decontaminating material made by crushing trees and grasses that grew after eating the elixir was able to completely remove radioactive materials to natural levels.
Although its water volume has decreased due to drought, the Yangtze River is still an essential natural environment for China’s survival and economy.
And China’s proud boasts of its combat achievements have come back to haunt it.
“You’re going to stop the decontamination equipment! This is a clear breach of contract!”
“That’s right. It’s a violation. So please take all measures you can to prevent this breach of contract. In the next 24 hours, all decontamination equipment will be shut down simultaneously.”
“This, this profit… …!”
“If we stop decontamination without notice, radioactive material could be supplied to the water supply without our knowledge, so we give advance notice. We don’t suddenly hit you in the back of the head like China.”
“This very act that you are taking right now is like a sudden stab in the back of the head!”
The Chinese official rolled his eyes.
I’ve been feeling uneasy since I participated in the Korean-French War.
If they had threatened to control the Yangtze River radiation, it would have been a big problem.
And that actually happened.
* * *
The festive atmosphere at the royal palace disappeared when it was reported that the decontamination equipment had been withdrawn.
The photojournalist reprimanded his subordinates with a stern face.
“Why? When our Republic is paying a price that is more than enough to overflow?”
“This is proof that they are afraid of our People’s Liberation Army’s power. The South Korean military, who directly experienced the fifth-generation fighter J-20, must be feeling a great sense of defeat right now. All of their F-16s were shot down.”
To be precise, it was a license-produced F-16, but China desperately needed the happiness circuit of having defeated all American fighters.
“They are afraid of an all-out war with the People’s Liberation Army, so they must be trying to negotiate a favorable deal by stopping the contamination.”
“Hmm, anyway, I guess it’s a small country, but the way I think about it and the things I do, there’s no such thing as distribution. Are you made of rice? Hahaha.”
The meeting atmosphere brightened significantly as Joo-Hyun burst into laughter.
The Communist Party cadres all laughed and applauded along with the Chairman’s laughter.
“I cannot help but admire Your Excellency’s brilliant judgment.”
“It was like being trapped in a hazy forest of mist and then being greeted by the dazzling sun, my mind became clear.”
“I never would have thought that the fearless Ha Su-yeong, who is as ruthless as Thunderbolt, would engage in such petty and petty trickery out of fear of the People’s Liberation Army. It was an insight that my dull mind could not have dared to approach.”
In any case, the Yangtze River is an important water source that the central government can never give up.
It is essential as a source of water for agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, industry and domestic use.
“It must be the heavy responsibility of a great nation to show generosity to a small country. Visit Cheongdam-dong and try negotiating. If they are still arrogant, we must show them another lesson in the expeditionary force in Paris and teach them a lesson.”
“Understood, Your Excellency.”
The meeting is over.
When Sajinpang returned to the official residence and was alone, the smile finally disappeared from his face.
“These little bastards are like Zara.”
My teeth were ground together.
Food and semiconductors are not enough, and now they are even rebelling against radiation contamination.
“An arrogant bastard who thinks he’s the best in the world, thanks to one scientist, he’s grown so much.”
Although he shouted loudly in front of his subordinates, Sajinpang did not think that the decontamination would resume.
The negotiations are unlikely to proceed positively.
The commentator intended to use this incident as an opportunity to increase unity within China and to inflame its fighting spirit.
’24 hours… …
The Chairman was troubled over whether or not to announce this fact to the people.
‘The sacrifice of a cow for the greater good is inevitable. If it is to secure the future of the republic, then I must make a decision with tears in my eyes.’
If it becomes known that the decontamination has been halted, the whole of China will be thrown into chaos.
He is not afraid of his power being jeopardized, but he does not want his leadership to waver at this critical time and affect the war.
‘We’ve already set foot in Europe. The US is having a hard time coming to its senses right now because of internal strife. So how about helping Russia to quickly resolve the Ukrainian front and jointly intervene in France?’
If China joins forces with Russia to drive the Korean army out of France, China’s influence in Europe will increase incomparably.
While I was spending time thinking about various strategies, an unexpected report came in.
“You are willing to negotiate?”
“Yes, I definitely said that in Cheongdam-dong.”
“Isn’t this a deception?”
“That doesn’t seem to be the case. As Your Excellency knows, isn’t Ha Su-yeong a petty person who will do anything that benefits him?”
The world believes that the creation of the current swimming group is 99.9999% due to Rohan.
But the reality is that Ha Su-young owns more than 99.9999% of it.
Because of this, in China, there was a perception that Ha Su-yeong was a vicious capitalist villain who sucked the marrow out of capable and loyal subjects.
“Okay, what should we give to China to resume decontamination?”
The commentator was dumbfounded and thought, “Is money the answer?”
‘Those small-minded people, even though they weren’t on good terms, would willingly sell all that food? Do they really care as long as their pockets are filled?’
“I asked them to compensate for the losses suffered by the Korean army during the last bombing of Paris.”
“Compensation for losses? Did he really say that?”
“Yes, I definitely said it was compensation.”
I like the fact that it is expressed as compensation rather than indemnity.
“And he emphasized that the reward should be given to the individual without anyone knowing.”
The comment almost made me laugh.
“As expected, he’s a helpless little guy. I understand. He must have his own ? poems to take care of, so I’ll gladly give him a small amount of compensation.”
“The compensation he demanded was 24 trillion won for the fighter jet and 4 trillion won for the lives of the dead pilots.”
“24 trillion won? How can the compensation amount for 60 old KF-16s be so high?”
“They said they lost 120 F-22s, so they paid 200 billion won per plane, or 24 trillion won… … ”
The comment made me open my mouth without realizing it.
It seemed like this was the first time in my life that I had encountered such a petty person.
The actual damage to the Korean military was 60 KF-16s.
Korea and China both know that the F-22 has not even shown its nose. In fact, the whole world knows except the Chinese public.
It was so absurd that the commentator didn’t even think to ask, “Why should we pay for the F-22?”
When people are speechless, they tend to cling to easy things.
“Didn’t Korea sign a contract to purchase F-22s for about 120 billion won each?”
“Yes. We decided to purchase 700 units for 90 trillion won. That’s about 128.5 billion won per unit.”
“But why do we have to give money based on 200 billion won?”
“He said that the Korea discount is a sale price that he earned through his own efforts, so he had to get the factory price from China. He said that because the relationship with the United States is not good due to the current America-U.S. treaty, he can no longer receive a discount.”
That’s right.
Even if you try to repurchase the product to compensate for the loss, it will be difficult to receive the previous discount price. You will have to pay based on the original price.
That’s true, but… … .
“No, what they lost was not 120 F-22s… …!”
Joo-suk, whose anger was on the verge of exploding, barely managed to swallow the words that were about to spill out of his mouth.
That won’t happen, but just in case, no one should hear about it.
Externally, China achieved the feat of destroying 120 F-22s with almost no losses. They bragged about it to everyone.
“Tell him you’ll give it to me.”
“and…….”
“Is there more?”
“Since we will have to wait at least 10 years for the additional delivery of 120 F-22s, we will add 10 years’ worth of the amount of 24 trillion won at an annual interest rate of 5%.”
“Tell him I’ll give it to him. Tell him I’ll give it to him! Tell that greedy little brat!”
