Franchise God Episode 1639
350. Wicked women who are obsessed with their ex-husbands (2)
President Park Boo-sung is a former lieutenant general in the army, and Ha Soo-young is a naval admiral.
Not long ago, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency coup d’état swept away all the veteran army personnel.
Currently, the main conspirators have been sentenced to death and are being held in a newly established special prison for death row inmates. The politicians and prosecutors who participated in this case have also been sentenced to death and are serving prison sentences.
In other words, the current administration is under the strong influence of the military.
More than one-third of the ruling party’s members are from the military or the Ministry of National Defense.
However, at first, everyone hesitated about the details of the total mobilization order proposed by Ha Su-yeong.
Even the president said this.
“Isn’t this too much? Even training women?”
“We are not fighting North Korea right now. If we touch North Korea, China and Russia will come out right away. We have to prepare for a major war.”
Park Bu-seong briefly wondered if he was already fighting in Ukraine.
If I had brought that up, Ha Soo-young would have treated me like an idiot.
“The country is already small, and now that narrow mainland is under threat. Bullets do not avoid the elderly, women, or children.”
“But would ordinary citizens have any reason to carry guns?”
“If you don’t prepare for the worst, when it really does happen, you’ll be irreversible. I’ll do my best to keep the border from being breached, but as a soldier, I have to prepare for the worst.”
As a soldier, President Park Bu-seong felt hurt inside because those words sounded like they were aimed at him.
“This is an opportunity to correct the fact that national defense obligations and military service obligations are not different. If not now, there will never be a time to educate all citizens about guns.”
“All right.”
* * *
Quite a few women obediently responded to the conscription call and left home.
If you just follow the directions, the shuttle bus will pick you up.
If you don’t know, just ask Freedom.
And quite a few women denied and avoided receiving the draft notice.
These were people who had never imagined in their lives that they would be drafted into the military, and who had never dreamed that they would be put in such a position.
They locked themselves in their rooms to avoid conscription, and as soon as they passed the check-in time, the military police came looking for them.
“Please open the door. We have come to capture draft dodgers.”
“Oh my, my daughter can’t shoot a gun or anything. How in the world can you drag a girl into the military?”
As the parents sobbed over the intercom, the military policeman sighed and warned them.
“If you do not open the door within one minute, we will break it down and enter by force. If you refuse to be arrested, your parents will also be punished under military law.”
“Oh my, oh my!”
And just as 50 seconds were ticking away, the door finally opened.
The mother, in tears and at a loss, tried to cling to the military police.
“My child can’t fight or anything. Please let him go just this once, okay?”
“Do you want to be punished under the Military Law?”
“Oh my, oh my.”
The military police took out plastic boots in front of the front door and put them over their combat boots so that the house would not get dirty even if they entered wearing combat boots.
“Catch it.”
“Gyaaak! Hey! I’m going to sue you for sexual harassment!”
“Android Freedom.”
” All right.”
Android Freedom stepped forward instead, subduing the rebellious woman and handcuffing her.
I tried to avoid being dragged away, completely losing all strength in my body, but Android Freedom lifted me up lightly as if I was handling a piece of luggage.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“Oh my, oh my.”
This kind of thing happened frequently across the country.
It wasn’t just women who rebelled.
With the abolition of the conscription system, even young men without military experience refused to be drafted, asking, “What has the country done for us?”
He even got caught leaving the house with only cash in his hand, turning off his cell phone, and sitting around in a PC room.
I didn’t even know that PC rooms and comic book stores operating in these times were luring draft dodgers at the request of the government.
If he had been just a little bit more intelligent, he might have suspected, ‘Running a PC room in these times?’, but if he had had that intelligence, he would not have tried to evade conscription in the first place.
Or, like the children of wealthy families, you can decide to flee abroad.
* * *
“As of now, 35,761 people have fled overseas. Most of them have escaped via the Japanese route.”
“Are you saying that so many people fled overseas to avoid conscription?”
“No. The number seems large because they moved in family units. Of these, the actual number of people subject to conscription would be less than 10,000. Most of them are from the wealthy class.”
“What about the property?”
“Not everyone fled. The older members of the family who would never be drafted stayed in the country and are managing their assets.”
Although a general mobilization order was issued, the sea bridge connecting Tsushima Island to the Savior was not controlled.
Once the decision was made, it was easy to escape to the Savior, and it was even easier to escape from the Savior to Japan by smuggling.
“They’re moving quickly even though there hasn’t been a war yet.”
“Because it was right before war, they probably thought this was their last chance. They probably thought that if China and Russia entered the war, they wouldn’t even have a chance to escape overseas.”
The supreme commander of the General Mobilization Command, which is a wartime organization, is Ha Su-yeong.
However, Ha Su-yeong gave several incomprehensible orders.
While allowing PC rooms, billiard rooms, and saunas to operate normally, they are capturing draft dodgers.
On the contrary, he left alone those who were trying to escape overseas through the Savior. In fact, he even ordered that the sea bridges on that side be kept wide open.
“Anyway, he is a draft dodger. He is a traitor. So shouldn’t any of his remaining assets in the country be confiscated?”
“His Majesty the Marshal also spoke about that part. He said that we should never touch the fugitives overseas until there are special orders.”
“What are you thinking?”
Everyone was silent for a moment at the contradictory orders.
“Most of those who have fled overseas are wealthy. In these times, I wonder if they decided that it would be better for them to just disappear and run away overseas?”
“Well, that could certainly be the case.”
“It is clear from the fact that they told us not to control the sea bridge on the Savior side… … ”
“Not seizing domestic assets is probably a way for them to escape without worry. Isn’t it possible that they are deliberately opening the door wide so that the scoundrels can quickly leave?”
“What is the situation with the conglomerates?”
“About 30% of those subject to conscription fled overseas. Their domestic assets were transferred to other relatives who were not subject to conscription.”
“I guess I diversified the risk in my own way.”
“Rather, the families of mid-sized business owners were much more willing to be drafted. More than 90% of them readily complied.”
Patriotism may not be special.
I just placed a bet on this.
“Are your personal equipment preparations going well?”
“Yes. The defense industry is working hard to produce it.”
* * *
The Army handed over all its old equipment to Ireland.
However, the defense industry’s production lines were left intact, as Ireland had a steady need to purchase weapons and ammunition.
Old ammunition produced for export was now earmarked to arm conscripts.
The improved K11A combined assault rifle was mass-produced and issued to new recruits.
“You guys are very lucky. In our time, we used K2 rifles, M16s, and even carbine rifles. But this latest K11A combined assault rifle is the pinnacle of infantry individual weapons, containing decades of know-how and technology from our defense industry.”
“From now on, all trainees must carry a gun 24 hours a day. Think of the gun as another part of yourself. Now, let’s start the training!”
Unlimited gun disassembly and PRI have begun.
Male and female trainees were required to spend more than half of their day receiving training on firearms.
“It’s wartime now. You need to know how to handle weapons before anything else.”
“I don’t ask for much. I’ll just teach you how to handle this one thing, K11A.”
“The gun never lowers. It never points at people. The gun is always pointed at the sky.”
All male and female trainees, aged between 18 and 40 and without military experience, were required to undergo intensive firearms training.
The number of men in their mid-20s or older was the lowest because those who had served in active duty before the abolition of the conscription system had already been transferred to the reserves.
Those who were in their mid-20s or older and enlisted as trainees had to be ‘healthy enough to be able to shoot a gun.’
“In peacetime, you can be exempted from military service due to health issues. In wartime, there is no such thing. If you can use a gun, you must learn it unconditionally. That way, you can survive right now.”
“We don’t have time to teach you about uniforms, grenades, gas masks, and things like that. The most urgent thing is to drill into the heads of the trainees how to use firearms.”
After teaching them how to use firearms and having them shoot thoroughly, only then did they start teaching them other things, such as how to use gas masks.
Those who have the hardest time physically are conscripts over 30 years old.
However, the level of dissatisfaction was greater in younger age groups, and the gender gap was not that large.
“Why do we have to go through this trouble?”
“Ha, I’m dying from exhaustion. No, we have unmanned tanks and missiles, so why do we have to learn how to use guns?”
The discontented and overly dissatisfied class did not understand the very idea of a general mobilization order.
Because I’ve never received any education on it, and I’ve never seriously considered it.
I just thought the country was imposing an unfair military service obligation.
Those who silently trained quietly scolded them.
“War is something you never know what will happen. What if missiles fall, shells fall, and tanks break down? That’s when we have to take up arms and fight.”
“At the very least, you should know how to shoot a gun so that you can save your life in such a situation. So learn hard.”
“Is it so unfair to protect the country? Those who are currently conscripted as reservists sacrificed their youth without saying a word of refusal during the conscription period. Those people will be deployed to actual combat, but we are safely trained in the rear.”
Such advice from well-thought-out comrades fell on deaf ears of the disgruntled trainees.
I just felt that the situation I was in was unfair and I wanted to avoid it.
“That’s why we shouldn’t have sent weapons to Ukraine. We’re all betting on that, and that’s why the mainland is under threat now.”
“What did Ukraine do to us? I really don’t understand.”
“Shouldn’t we be sending our troops there right now? If we hadn’t gone there in the first place, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.”
“If the swimming group had managed China properly earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. Are you saying that you can’t manage one thing properly and have them invade like this? Ah, I really want to go home!”
A trainee who takes it as a duty that must be done naturally in this difficult situation.
A trainee full of complaints about being dragged here and having to suffer like a dog.
A deserter who escaped overseas through the Savior before becoming a trainee.
South Korea, where the general mobilization order was issued, boasted a wide emotional spectrum.
