Chapter 345: Strategy and Tactics of the Small People (4)

President Park Boo-sung of the Blue House immediately approved Ha Soo-young’s three proposals.

Perhaps because he was a three-star general in the army, he had no aversion to special war activities.

I was rather excited when I received the economic forecast report from the think tank.

“If we do it right, France could feed our Republic of Korea for 10 years!”

“Our companies and people can certainly enjoy the special effects of war. However, the longer the war drags on, the more the burden on General Ha Soo-young, who bears the cost of war, accumulates… … ”

“Isn’t this the business model that Marshal Ha Soo-young came up with because he had a separate way to compensate for his losses? What did he say? I think he said that 800 tons of gold had already been stolen from China.”

It was a top secret deal, but he was the President of Korea, so there was no way he wouldn’t know.

Of course, it will be designated as a national secret and will be banned from being disclosed for at least 50 years. There is a high possibility that it will be extended again after 50 years.

“Marshal Ha Soo-young also proposed this long-term war because he thought it would be beneficial for him if the war dragged on.”

It will probably generate investment money to be poured into a war against France or China.

Korea will make money through war specials, but where will Ha Su-young get the money?

You don’t have to worry about that.

The 800 tons of gold already extracted are excellent evidence.

“If Ha Su-yeong is your enemy, he will take his share even if it means selling the river water, so we just have to take our share.”

Such political judgments cannot be recorded in official documents.

How can we record that we are preparing for a long war in order to build a war business model?

Official documents will likely state that it is “preparing for a prolonged war due to China’s participation.”

After the Blue House’s approval was granted, Ha Su-yeong made another request to the expeditionary force headquarters.

“This is a request to manage all special war areas with freedom. He said it is to block corruption and tax evasion in advance and prevent the national treasury from leaking.”

“Well, the Korean-French War itself was maintained entirely thanks to Marshal Ha Su-yeong, so that’s only natural. Tell them to do so.”

When the war special market opens, a pack of lynxes will flock there with their eyes wide open and their spoons out.

But if you see the taste of the fire of Ha Su-young, the head of the Gangnam Integrated Tax Office, you will probably come to your senses.

It is France’s largest company with a market capitalization of 500 billion euros, and is a company that manufactures luxury goods such as luxury goods. It is famous to the public as the brand Louis Vuitton.

After France was unilaterally pushed back, the management was having a hard time day by day.

The stock didn’t crash.

If there was a transaction, the market price would have crashed or something, but right now, even over-the-counter trading was impossible.

The Argon chairman and board of directors were resentful of the government for provoking the dragon of the east.

Then, a broker that Chairman Argon was familiar with came to Lyon.

“The Paris headquarters is safe.”

“Ohhh!”

President Argon shed tears of emotion as he received several photos with today’s date on them.

“How about the headquarters? I heard that they tore down all the valuable buildings in Korea.”

“Yes. All valuable buildings were torn down.”

“… … Are you saying that our LVMH Paris building is not worth tearing down?”

If you see him getting upset at this point, you can say that he is a natural-born luxury owner.

“Although China has fired missiles at Paris several times, most of the luxury brand buildings have survived. Surprisingly, the Chinese missiles have only targeted and destroyed worthless targets.”

Only then did Chairman Argon realize something was strange.

“But where did you get this photo?”

The broker said with a grin.

“The swimming group gave me this photo and told me to contact the chairman. There must be other brokers besides me who are meeting with French companies right now.”

Although it was an action that could be considered treason, Chairman Argon did not even think about pushing it.

“Do you have any messages?”

“We will do our best to help you resume business regardless of the course or outcome of the war.”

“Regardless of the war?”

“Yes. Instead, they asked me to pay 5% of sales as commission.”

Chairman Argon was deep in thought.

Anyway, all of the group’s Paris assets are currently frozen. Fortunately, there are many assets overseas and overseas operations are returning to normal.

Perhaps it was Ha Su-young who came up with this suggestion.

So, what is his intention in making this suggestion?

“Are there any other brokers besides you who are contacting French companies?”

“Yes. I heard that they are in contact with at least 100 companies, including L’Oréal, Hermes, Total, Dior, Sanofi, and Schneider Electric.”

“Can you tell me that?”

“Because that’s what I told you to do. And other entrepreneurs will know that someone is meeting with the chairman and hearing the same story.”

“I really can’t understand what the swimming group’s intentions are.”

“I didn’t understand at first either. I just came here with this photo and message. How about having a conversation with you in person?”

“Conversation?”

“Take it.”

The broker handed over a neat looking Freedom phone, and Chairman Argon accepted it half in doubt.

“The phone won’t work. Even if it does, what if they track me?”

“I don’t know for sure, but they said they don’t use French networks and they can never be tracked.”

At that moment the phone vibrated.

[SS]

Chairman Argon became very nervous at the abbreviation SS.

When a French person hears the word SS, the first thing that comes to mind is the Nazi Schutzstaffel.

-Nice to meet you. I’m Ha Su-yeong from the Swimming Federation.

“… … This is President Argon.”

– Let me get to the point. I don’t want the French economy to collapse because of the war. Shouldn’t the war be the war and the civilians continue to make their own living?

“Isn’t that a realistically impossible story?”

-Why is it impossible? The Elysee Palace, oh, it’s on the sea right now. It’s possible if France and I come to an agreement.

– Think back to the medieval European feudal system. While nobles fought each other, merchants traded vigorously. Nobles did not stop merchants from entering enemy territory. Without their trade, both territories would die, regardless of the war.

Chairman Argon almost burst out laughing.

“Are you saying you want to fight a gentlemanly war?”

-Yes. Also, I understand that the French sphere of influence, including Lyon, is currently short on all supplies, including drinking water. That can also be traded.

“I would not have understood it at all if you had not compared it to medieval feudalism. Is it possible that Your Majesty does not want to end this war?”

– I want to end it. I want to make it like Britain. But now that China is involved, it’s difficult.

-Don’t think too hard about it. Our expeditionary force has never killed a single civilian. I think war should be fought strictly between soldiers. There is no need for civilians to suffer in war.

“Ha, really, I don’t know even though I know. So what should I do?”

-Just watch for now. Later, when the market opens, you can move accordingly. Act as your trader’s heart beats.

“The merchant’s heart… … .”

After quietly chewing on the strangely resonant words, Chairman Argon suddenly asked.

“Your Majesty’s phone number is saved as SS. What does this mean?

if

-Ah. It means Summer Swimming. That’s my name.

I suddenly feel a sense of loss of strength when I hear that it’s not a Nazi acronym.

-Just know that for now. I guess I’ll have to hang up now. I have to make the same call to hundreds of French companies.

The phone call ended and the broker left after saying goodbye.

After a while, a subordinate came running into the study in surprise.

“Mr. Chairman! I think you should come out for a moment! Relief supplies are falling from the sky!”

“Relief supplies?”

“yes!”

The surprised Chairman Argon followed his subordinate out of the study.

Dozens of containers with parachutes were dropped into the expansive garden of the villa.

The containers were neatly aligned, as if they had been guided precisely rather than free-falling.

“drinking water”

“Shindu”

“Oil”

“Diesel Generator”

“Medicine”

“Daily necessities”

Jiiing.

The smartphone Ha Soo-young gave me vibrated and a notification popped up.

[Please deposit 3 million euros into the account below.]

The Argon chairman smiled silently and gladly deposited the 3 million euros.

In a city where supplies are drying up, 3 million euros was not a waste of money to secure that quantity.

* * *

French companies with three-figure figures all received the same phone and spoke directly to Ha Soo-young.

And after the call, I received the relief supplies that Ha Su-yeong had donated. Of course, I had to pay for them.

Government troops rushed in and asked them what had happened, but they all denied knowing anything.

Since the recipients were all among the top tycoons in France, even the government forces could not seize them rashly.

Because I knew that not one or two, but hundreds of businessmen had received gifts from Ha Soo-young.

And in place of the president who collapsed from high blood pressure and was unable to perform his duties,

The acting president of the Senate, who was in charge of the West, received a call from Germany.

-We will provide paid support for daily necessities needed by French civilians.

Meanwhile, France has consistently appealed to neighboring countries, including Germany, for material support.

However, because they were concerned about Korea’s reaction, neighboring countries provided supplies in small amounts, with only the bare minimum of pretense.

-The price may not be cheap, but it will be reasonable considering the situation in your country.

“… …Thank you for your kindness.”

My teeth were chattering, but I had no choice but to accept it.

France is now struggling to even take care of refugees, let alone fight a war.

It was fortunate that the South Korean army was blocked by Chinese air defenses and could not advance any further.

The French army, which was in a state of defeat, could barely catch its breath as Korea and China engaged in a fierce aerial battle with each other.

Thus, living supplies finally began to arrive in large quantities through Germany.

France now lacked everything.

There was a shortage of everything, including drinking water, food, electricity, medicine, and daily necessities.

Cities were overcrowded, with running water and electricity available for just one hour a day: 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon.

Ironically, more than 90% of the food imported from Germany was Korean-made.

Naturally, the French were furious at having to eat food produced in enemy countries.

“I don’t need these beans! Give me bread! I want a baguette!”

“If you don’t have bread, you can eat beans? Is the President an incarnation of Queen Marie? Guillotine the President!”

The acting president of the Senate was naturally dissatisfied with Germany because of the influx of newcomers.

But the German Chancellor merely shrugged.

rIt is difficult to obtain flour for our German citizens to eat due to the current worldwide famine. Even the wheat flour was purchased through the United States.

A strangely large number of goods coming through Germany were ‘Made in Korea’.
