Franchise God Episode 1640

350. Wicked women who are obsessed with their ex-husbands (3)

“I don’t aim my gun at anything but the sky.”

“Always keep the adjuster in the safe position.”

“Never put it on rapid fire when firing.”

The trainees returned to the barracks, panting for breath.

The barracks were modular, made of plastic, and each trainee had a small, individual bed.

“In my time, there were no such things as individual beds. We spread out mats and slept in group barracks. The military has improved a lot these days.”

“A facility like this in an exhibition is heaven. The trainees should feel blessed.”

The facilities were definitely nice.

The quality of the supplies was also excellent.

Not only the firearms, but also the personal equipment such as water canteens were all brand new, fresh from the factory.

All of the instructors who guided the trainees were non-commissioned officers or higher. There were no ordinary soldiers.

“When I was a trainee, we were given water canteens like the ones used during the Korean War. The world has really become a better place.”

“They said all those water cans were discarded.”

“What, didn’t you give it to Ireland?”

“Isn’t it an insult to Ireland to give such junk to them, so they would have thrown it all away? They say Ireland gave them the Calvin communication and ammunition because they were 0K.”

The training was handled by the Army.

Because the Navy had to focus on the war in Ukraine. It was not something the Navy could train for urban warfare using assault rifles.

This was the reason why there were no army soldiers.

This is because when the conscription system was abolished, all the army soldiers went home or transferred to the navy as they were promoted to career military officers.

“But will we really have to go to the battlefield?”

“I just hope that’s not the case.”

“Looking at the General Mobilization Command teaching everyone from 18 to 40 years old how to shoot, it seems like they’re preparing for the worst.”

“Your Majesty, you are a person who never does anything in vain.”

“There’s no news about the state of the Sino-Korean front, and I’m so anxious I don’t know what’s going on.”

It has already been several days since North Korea invaded South Korea.

However, the status of the two countries has not been disclosed at all yet.

The US, China, Russia and Japan did not disclose intelligence on the situation in China and South Korea as if they had made a promise.

However, it is not the case that Europe can observe the Chinese front. The military intelligence resources of European countries are all concentrated in Ukraine.

“Our expeditionary force hasn’t attacked the Crimean Peninsula occupation forces yet, has it?”

“Yes. I know they are just taking up positions in the northern part of the Crimean Peninsula and engaging in a standoff. If there had been any fighting, it would have been known already. There are so many eyes watching from that side.”

Zeeeeing. Zeeeeing.

A vibration sound began to be heard from all directions simultaneously.

The expressions on the army officers’ faces changed to an ominous one, and they each took out their cell phones.

“Breaking News! The Chinese support force is isolated during the engagement! We won after a fierce battle, but 36 friendly troops were killed or injured!”

“What is this? 36 friendly casualties? In China?”

“I thought they were reinforcements, but why were there any casualties?”

“This is the first information about the war situation coming out of China? Isn’t there something wrong with it?”

Trainees were also allowed to use their phones outside of work hours.

The agitation of the trainees who checked the article also grew worse.

More details came out in the evening.

North Korea’s special operations force has infiltrated Pyongyang. Our unit, which was dispatched to support, successfully prevented the bombing of key facilities, but unfortunately, 36 people were killed in the North Korean military’s self-destruction.

The people were dumbfounded.

“Not a single person died in the Korean-French War. Where did all the unmanned equipment go?”

“Almost all of them are in Ukraine.”

“I don’t think now is the time to focus on Ukraine. Our home base is in danger.”

“I’m going crazy because I’m not getting any updates. Why aren’t China and the Blue House saying anything?”

As public discontent over the 36 casualties reached its peak, the General Mobilization Command spokesperson stood before the cameras.

[This is the General Mobilization Command. We are well aware that the people are very worried because there has been no announcement at all regarding the situation in the Sino-Korean War.

[The reason for not disclosing the information is because North Korea, which invaded China, is hiding its combat results as much as possible, and we judged that assisting them would be of greater help to our military.]

[Please remember that there are two countries that are just as eager to know about the situation in China as you, but are unable to obtain proper information. You will know what I mean.]

[Originally, I was going to refrain from making this announcement to avoid any disinformation, but I am making this announcement because of the heightened anxiety among the public.]

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Can someone summarize it in three lines?”

“North Korea is desperately trying to hide the results of the battle. It seems like they are afraid that if China and Russia find out, they will be screwed. So, I think China and South Korea and we are keeping our mouths shut to prevent China and Russia from finding out.”

“Did North Korea get robbed more than expected? But does it make sense that our military suffered 36 casualties?”

“Considering that they even sent a suicide bombing unit to Pyongyang, it seems like North Korea is really cornered. Normally, using elite resources for suicide attacks is a tactic used only when you are desperate and desperate.”

“Fact. Even if one person dies and 35 people get their knees cut off, the casualties are still counted as 36.”

One side of the nation’s worries have subsided, while the other side’s fears have intensified.

Those who were fixated on the words “36 casualties” were the ones who grew more fearful.

“Aren’t we going to die like this? If we send a secret unit to the training camp to prevent the number of people from increasing, we’ll all die.”

“Common sense tells us why North Korea would send a spy unit here. There are plenty of places to commit terrorism.”

“We are trainees, so it is easier and safer for North Korea to achieve results. It’s like putting a yellow croaker in a place where there are only chicks.”

“That’s true.”

* * *

An incident occurred where Korean-Chinese trainees deserted.

The military police went to arrest them, but the trainees resisted with swords. Since firearms were strictly controlled, they could not desert with them.

As soon as he showed his sword, the military police shot him with a stun gun, knocked him out, and took him away.

The residents of the neighborhood where ethnic Koreans live watched the scene closely.

“Hey, this is a big problem. If this continues, all of us Joseonjok will die.”

“If even our fellow Koreans with Korean citizenship are treated like that, how much more will we, as foreigners, be oppressed?”

“It won’t work. If we really go to war in our home country, we’ll all be drafted into the penal corps and taken away as cannon fodder.”

“I must escape this country quickly before Japan blocks my path.”

The foreigners, ethnic Koreans of China, hurried down to Busan.

They had a habit of organizing their assets such as cash and gold in preparation for emergencies, and they organized them even more quickly after North Korea invaded.

Koreans of China escaped to Japan, and Southeast Asians who had recently become naturalized also joined them.

These were people who had no awareness that Korea was their homeland, nor any attachment to it as a place where they would live until they died.

Until then, I had been keeping an eye on things, thinking, “France won, so how could they lose?”, but the 36 casualties of Chinese and Korean soldiers and the arrest of ethnic Korean deserters in broad daylight were what sparked the fire.

“Whether Korea wins or loses the war, it looks like we will be the first to die.”

“Common sense tells us that if war breaks out, there is no way they will spare us, the Chinese.”

We have to hurry and get out before the door closes.

Following the wealthy class who fled overseas to avoid conscription, naturalized Koreans and Southeast Asians as well as foreigners also quickly fled to Japan.

It was as if a great low tide had retreated, revealing a wide tidal flat across the horizon.

So what actually happened to the North Korean military?

Everyone was full of energy when they crossed the border.

It was thanks to the great Comrade Chairman who distributed plenty of rations and allowed us to eat our fill.

Contrary to concerns, resistance along the northern border between China and Korea was not fierce.

The problem arose as they advanced across the border into the fields.

“It’s a drone! It’s a drone suicide attack!”

A massive force of drones, numbering in the thousands, swarmed the North Korean military from all sides.

We desperately tried to intercept them, but we were unable to knock down all of the drones, which were making quick and sophisticated evasive maneuvers.

The drones relentlessly targeted only the tank’s tracks and vehicle tires.

“I have a long way to go, and I’m being held back here!”

The commander screamed, but all units had completely lost their mobility.

In this way, the North Korean soldiers were tied up in the middle of the field.

“The transmission isn’t working! I think they’re jamming the signal!”

“It’s foggy!”

Communications were cut off due to jamming, and even thick fog hung low in the sky.

The commander could bet everything that the fog was absolutely not natural.

Why is there such fog at this exact timing? It’s 100% artificial fog.

The fog was about five meters above the ground.

It gave me a sense of fear, as if the sky had fallen right in front of my nose.

Fortunately, the horizontal visibility was not blocked, so it was easy to look around the unit’s situation.

“When will the repairs be finished? I can’t stay here forever!”

“Both the tracks and wheels are destroyed and repairs are difficult. There are no replacement parts.”

“Then find a way!”

The commander was furious, but he knew there was nothing the maintenance captain could do.

If only two or three tires were punctured, how could you replace them and keep rolling? If all the tires were punctured and even the axle was twisted, how could you move?

Several days passed in this situation.

At first, we were very nervous because we didn’t know when the Chinese army would invade, but they showed no signs of doing so.

Food and water were running out in an instant, and the soldiers were now beginning to starve.

“These guys, they plan to starve us to death like this!”

The North Korean military command was horrified.

Due to the communication cutoff, the city of Cheongjin is unaware of the situation here. There is no way to know if it is a total annihilation or a total destruction.

Because of the fog, aerial reconnaissance is useless, so neither China nor Russia will be able to provide information to the city of Chongjin, where Comrade Chairman is located.

“I can’t starve to death or be captured like this! It’s an indelible disgrace!”

“But not a single vehicle can move.”

The soldiers continued to starve.

After starving for over a week, I didn’t have the strength to even lift a finger.

It was only then that the Chinese and Korean troops finally approached.

There were no people at all, it was a machine unit made up entirely of androids.

The Android Unit administered emergency treatment to the starving soldiers and officers with electrolyte drinks and rice water, then removed all of their uniforms and dressed them in unified uniforms.

All damaged tracks and wheels were repaired using spare parts brought in advance.

The unit that North Korea squeezed out was then taken over by the Android unit.

The unit, which was only made up of North Korean soldiers, began to move toward Pyongyang.

After that, the atmosphere of fear in the country was created several more times.

There was even an incident where a video of Pyongyang’s burning streets was uploaded to social media and then hastily deleted.

In a situation where many things are unclear, anxiety among Korean citizens is growing again.

“Wasn’t it that China and South Korea were completely suppressing it? Then why is Pyongyang burning?”

“It would have been impossible to completely prevent suicide attacks.”

“No. This is because we are basically putting all our efforts into Ukraine right now. We need to withdraw our troops quickly.”

“I know there are quite a few fighters left, but why aren’t they taking to the skies? If we had bombed North Korea right after they crossed the border, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”

“There is a saying that all the fighter jets left in the country are currently undergoing maintenance. There are quite a few of them, but they are not actually being deployed for combat.”

“It’s a total torrent.”

At this point, even the wealthy recruits who had tapped away at their calculators and signed up for the draft began to reconsider.

“Congratulations on your temporary discharge. However, even after you return home, you are still soldiers in wartime, so please wait for 24-hour orders.”

The General Mobilization Command did not indiscriminately keep the trainees in the barracks.

After three weeks of intense training, they are sent back home for another three weeks.

The purpose of the conscription itself was to teach civilians who had never fired a gun how to handle guns and basic civil defense training.

There were no facilities to accommodate that large number, more than 10 million people, at one time.

This means that those who change their minds will have the opportunity to escape abroad once every three weeks.

The Savior Sea Bridge was still not closed.
