Franchise God Episode 1636
349. Divorce is a mess (5)
“Isn’t it funny that you promised to be together forever as if you would never die, and then broke it after only five years?”
Sajinpang looked around at the central committee members with a big smile on his face and asked.
“The future of America is bleak. The new generation of politicians who should lead the next generation are so foolish. I would never have made such a stupid choice.”
Of course, given the nature of a dictator, he would not have signed something like the America Treaty in the first place.
Even from the dictator’s perspective, it seemed foolish to so noisily break the already concluded American Treaty.
‘Is this what happens when people who have never suffered in their lives but are obsessed with the illusion of a superpower lead the country?’
“Is this the fault of the foolish hardliners, or of the voters who elected them?”
“Surely it’s not the fault of both of them?”
“The leadership has the duty to lead the foolish people to the right path, and the people must also have the wisdom to recognize and trust a great leader who will make the country rich and strong.”
“The state of America today clearly shows how uncontrolled and indiscriminate freedom and thought have devastated the people’s standard.”
When the commentator seemed happy, everyone had a good time laughing at America’s stupidity.
“The US 7th Fleet is currently undergoing maintenance, from warships to aircraft. If we were to suddenly stop maintenance and launch a sortie in the middle of the mission, how long would it take?”
America is driven by public opinion.
If public opinion grows louder calling for immediate intervention in the Korean War, neither the president nor Congress will be able to stop it.
So the United States is also trying to reassure China through full-scale reorganization.
Once disassembled and placed in the dock and factory, it takes physical time to be deployed back into the battlefield.
The idea is to tell the public, ‘We’re doing our best, but it takes time,’ and buy as much time as possible.
Of course, since they are aware of it, they will shift other spare forces to the Korean Peninsula, but without the 7th Fleet’s air power, they will not be able to exert their full power.
China and Russia expect that they will be able to quickly push back against South Korea in the meantime.
“Given the current state of the U.S. shipyards, there is no room for the 7th Fleet to undergo depot maintenance. More than 90% of the warships will have to wait in line, anchored in port.”
“Is that it?”
“Yes. The US has a fatal weakness in this regard due to its high labor costs. Even if we decide to prioritize the depot maintenance of the 7th Fleet, it will take years to complete everything.”
“That means that more than 90% of the power will not be in the factory and will be on standby ready to depart at any time.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Sajinpang groaned, stroking his chin at the unexpected trap.
At that time, Prime Minister Lee Chong opened his mouth.
“The US has said that they will first receive all aircraft carriers. Once the aircraft carriers are received, the fighters will naturally be dispersed to the factories where they will be maintained. In other words, the 7th Fleet’s air power will be completely tied up.”
“Hmm.”
“Even if the other battleships that were not deployed were in a state of flux, they would not be able to properly support land warfare without carriers. In other words, the 7th Fleet would be effectively tied to the U.S. mainland.”
“Then we need to properly check whether the US is deploying all of its aircraft carriers.”
“That much can be confirmed sufficiently by combining satellite reconnaissance and human intelligence.”
There’s no way to completely hide the fact that the massive carrier has emptied its hangar bay and is now in dry dock.
Unless you build a huge ceiling over the entire harbor.
“Then, now all that remains is to set a date.”
“We need to decide carefully. If we are caught early, Ha Su-yeong will try to harass us, China, by clinging to not only the radioactive contamination but also all sorts of other things.”
“As soon as North Korea’s provocation raises the clouds of war, we must strike down in one breath, and Russia must follow suit as quickly as possible. We must thoroughly blockade the seas in advance, without giving them a chance to escape the Korean Peninsula.”
“The naval blockade is the problem.”
Photo Pang knocked loudly on the table.
It is realistically difficult to control all ships and aircraft leaving Korea using only China’s maritime power.
What would be the blockade rate if Russia helped?
Also, how do you avoid giving the enemy a strange feeling while forming the Cheonrajimang?
Although it is a military operation that must be carried out in one breath, it requires a lot of thought and thorough preparation.
“First, let’s sign a new contract with Suyeong Farm to purchase grain and meat. It will be for a certain amount of grain to be supplied every year for the next 10 years. Oh, and long-term preservation foods like shindoo will be excluded.”
“Excellent. You’re trying to make him feel more secure by making a long-term contract to buy groceries that you’re going to use up right away.”
“I will proceed immediately.”
‘We have no intention of going to war, not now, at least not in the next few years!’
To offer a 10-year long-term deal at the stock price to convey the message.
Everyone in this room also knew that there was a task that had to be completed before that.
“Russia will be able to move only if Ukraine quickly agrees to the peace agreement.”
* * *
France and Korea are clearly in a state of war.
It’s been a long time since the fighting completely stopped.
French companies and workers are engaging in economic activities beyond the watershed line.
Also, all kinds of goods that France needs are imported through Germany.
The French government knows it too.
It is written clearly that it is Made in Korea, so it is impossible not to know. However, since there is no place for the people to get the supplies they need right now, they are just suppressing their pride and pretending not to know.
On the outside, it looks so peaceful.
But anyway, the two countries are still at war.
Chinese troops that had gone on an expedition to help France, a semiconductor ally, were still there.
Although they left France after being torn apart by Ha Su-young and suffering a humiliating defeat, some of the soldiers still remained.
Chinese long-distance transport aircraft have begun to fly in and out of France at a rapid pace.
On the surface, it appears as though they are preparing for a complete withdrawal.
The French government also did not react strongly.
If fighting breaks out again in the current situation, we will be completely defeated. We will not even be able to defend our remaining territories.
All I realized was that the Chinese military was of little help in dealing with the South Korean military.
Food was hard to come by in French territory beyond the Haeundae Line. Even the proud and resourceful French were now tired of the war.
“We cannot conclude a peace treaty with more than a third of our territory already lost. Proud sons and daughters of France! Let us all rise up in indignation and bring spring to the fields that have been taken away!”
Even though the hardliners created a makeshift plaza on the street and went up there to give speeches, the French people did not respond very well.
“Companies are barely able to operate within the sewer line… … Are you saying we should start another war?”
“If we keep doing that, we’ll all really die this time.”
“It wasn’t for nothing that Britain was kicked out without doing anything. South Korea is a country crazy about war.”
“Are you saying something like that knowing that all the daily necessities coming in through Germany are made in Korea? I just can’t understand it.”
“This war is already over. France has lost.”
“If you knew that 90% of the bread we eat is made with wheat flour from Suyeong Farm, you would never say such nonsense.”
In this way, France wanted to put an end to this tiresome war.
However, the atmosphere for signing a peace treaty was not created.
However, France was putting off making the first move day after day because it was concerned about saving face and there was no immediate possibility of fighting.
Thus, the withdrawal of the remaining Chinese troops was met with no opposition from anyone.
But there was something the French didn’t know.
The Chinese transport planes that flew back and forth to the garrison several times a day were not actually carrying out an evacuation operation.
I came with a heavy body full of cargo, and returned with an empty, light body, repeating this cycle.
It wasn’t even about replenishing supplies needed for withdrawal, such as fuel and food.
The central military transport aircraft were secretly replenishing the French bases with supplies needed for land warfare, such as missiles, shells, tanks, self-propelled guns, and helicopters.
“This is enough to replenish the power.”
“We have squeezed out every last bit of the wealth the people have accumulated. There must absolutely be no failure in this operation.”
“ancient!”
Only after the Chinese garrison judged that they had sufficiently strengthened their forces did they declare a withdrawal.
The French government pretended to hold on to him several times, but then had no choice but to send him away.
* * *
The Chinese army crossed the German border. It was a withdrawal route agreed upon in advance with other countries.
They began a return march of thousands of kilometers through Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan.
China’s public broadcasting station broadcasted live footage of the large-scale withdrawal, boosting the people’s morale.
“Our brave People’s Republic Army, which helped its French ally and forced the invading forces to suffer enormous losses in combat power, is withdrawing!”
“Our proud People’s Republic, which achieved a combat engagement ratio of over 1:20 throughout the war, widely displayed its elite fighting power to all sides!”
With such an impressive fighting force, why did the Korean army occupy 1/3 of French territory and build a waterway to block it?
Anyone with common sense would have wondered about this while watching the withdrawal broadcast, but the Chinese people, brainwashed by dictatorial nationalism, cheered and howled like animals.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian president was receiving covert information from the West.
“Why would the Chinese army withdraw by land? They are pretending to withdraw while trying to join the Russian army.”
“Didn’t you come to France by land because you didn’t have the ability to transport people in the first place?”
“Look at the current size of the Chinese military. Isn’t it large considering that some troops have been steadily withdrawing by air and sea?”
“That’s true, but… … .”
“Recently, Chinese transport aircraft flying in and out of France were not withdrawing, but rather replenishing troops and weapons.
They will pretend to withdraw and then invade Ukraine from Belarus. China will have to recover from the damage it suffered on the French front, and to that end, they will fully support the forced annexation of Ukraine.”
The Ukrainian president thought that might really be the case.
The additional information that kept coming in was consistently ominous.
There were also reports that the Chinese army’s marching formation was gradually changing as it passed through Poland and approached the Belarusian border.
“All indications are that China is trying to help Russia destroy Ukraine, thereby making up for its losses in the French war.”
“Yes, the Chinese army’s march is strange.”
“We will attack them the moment they leave Poland.”
The military also strongly suspected that China was seeking a surprise attack.
In response, Ukraine deployed artillery units to the border with Belarus.
There was no intention of taking the initiative.
If they pretended to pass through Belarus and crossed the Ukrainian border, they were going to rain down a sea of fire right over their heads.
And the moment the Chinese army entered Belarus, a huge number of shells fell on the marching route.
The Ukrainian president woke up from his sleep and shouted when he heard the news.
“Did they cross the border from Belarus?”
“No! I didn’t cross the border!”
“What? So you’re saying that they committed a surprise attack without even crossing the border? You idiots! This is how we can call it a surprise attack!”
The President didn’t know.
The very information about the danger coming from the West was disinformation leaked by China, and the artillery shells that struck the Chinese military positions were also a fabrication.
Hours later, a tough statement came from Beijing.
“The Ukrainian army surprised our Chinese troops who were peacefully withdrawing. The place where the attack was made was even Belarusian territory. Our army suffered enormous damage, and Ukraine must bear unlimited responsibility for this.”
Ultimatum.
After several days of bitter diplomatic standoff, China finally formally declared war on Ukraine.
The evacuated troops stationed in Belarus crossed the border into Ukraine.

A month later.
The Sino-Russian coalition occupied the Ukrainian capital, and the president went into exile in the United States.
