He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (60)
“What do you mean the operation is impossible?”
“That’s… It seems like the soldiers aren’t getting along.”
“Didn’t you train to match those hands and feet?!!”
This is the White House in the United States,
President MacArthur was furious at the news that the operation was being delayed.
It is true that the United States is not accustomed to mobile warfare; in fact, the United States has only been at war for about 10 years.
In 1823, the United States declared complete isolationism by proclaiming the Monroe Doctrine.
What kind of war would a country that kept telling people not to touch us because we won’t invade them fight?
The only people they defeated were Native Americans or Mexicans. Do you think the armies of these countries could have done much in World War I?
They were just left behind by European countries, and even in the early stages of World War II, they showed a power far inferior to that of Japan.
The population is 130 million, but the military consists of 500,000 soldiers, including the army, navy, and air force.
Some say that Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor woke up a sleeping giant, but at the beginning of the war, the American military was nothing more or less than a sleeping cat.
“Do you think the Japanese would come all the way here?”
“That can’t be true.”
From the very beginning, there was no answer, and the US military, completely off guard, was attacked by Japan and their fleet was completely destroyed.
Not only that. There is also a history where Japan, which had no battleships when it invaded, asked Chile for aid, but was rejected.
It is true that the myth of the Battle of Midway was also a matter of luck.
The bombers were repelled twice, and this process was also quite dramatic.
“Hey!! I said over there?!! Why are you going over there?!!”
“This is the right place!! Just follow me!!”
“Hey!! Just move separately!! I can’t work with you guys!!”
Aircraft that were flying around like moths to a flame because they couldn’t coordinate their actions while going to attack the enemy fleet. Do you think the Japanese military would have just left these prey alone?
Everything was in ruins, but the dive bombers that were deployed last hit the jackpot.
“Huh?!! It blew up!! It blew up!!”
“It must have exploded in the hangar!! What kind of luck is this?!!”
The Japanese aircraft carrier was captured with truly incredible luck.
If luck had not been on their side here, the American fleet might have been destroyed and the Japanese fleet might have advanced toward the American homeland, an unprecedented situation.
Anyway, after going through various trials and errors, the United States became the world’s strongest military force. So, did that glory continue?
The United States also suffered a huge loss in World War II, reducing its military from what once numbered over 10 million to 1.5 million.
The Chinese civil war broke out in this situation.
Twelve years have passed since the end of World War II.
Does the US maintain the military power that allowed it to conduct operations simultaneously in the Pacific and Europe? The 700,000 troops dispatched to China are troops squeezed out by the US.
Further reinforcement of troops was impossible, and George Patton’s mobile warfare across the European continent was a thing of the past.
All the US military can do now is suppress the enemy with firepower, but this has become meaningless with the advent of nuclear weapons.
This is why the US is causing such chaos. It cannot mobilize large-scale troops like before and its combat capabilities are woefully lacking.
In this situation, is it possible to mobilize a large army to surround and destroy the Chinese army?
An impossible operation from the start, President MacArthur misjudged the situation.
“It wasn’t like this when I was a commander!! It’s been years since the war ended and it’s like this?!! Huh?!!”
“Your Majesty, twelve years have already passed since World War II. When you think back to that time… .”
“You cowards!! What on earth was your training for?!! You guys who trained in mobile warfare for a year now say you can’t do it?!! Tell them to throw it all away!!”
White House officials were sweating profusely.
The opponent was a veteran who had fought in both World Wars I and II. Who would dare to raise an objection to military operations in front of such a man? President MacArthur gave the order to proceed with the operation as planned.
But there is always a gap between reality and thoughts.
The US military had already concluded that mobile encirclement tactics were impossible.
As time passed without meaning, and the war showed signs of becoming a protracted one, the Chinese army withdrew from Shanghai.
Even with over 3 million troops, we were unable to capture Shanghai. How are we going to support this large army in the future?
The Allied Forces also watched blankly as the enemy forces withdrew, but as the true nature of the US military was revealed in the Chinese Civil War, the world began to stir.
“What? America is not as good as I thought.”
“This isn’t the America we feared. It’s become so weak.”
What will happen to the world if the United States loses its deterrent power?
That doesn’t mean the United States can be completely ignored, but few countries have anything to fear from a military that has been weakened to the point where it can’t even defeat a single Chinese army.
Even if this war ends this way, is there any guarantee that a civil war won’t break out in China again?
Even then, would the United States deploy a large army to defend the Republic of China? For now, public opinion in the United States and Britain is fed up with the absurd behavior of Chiang Kai-shek and the Republic of China.
The problem is that if China collapses, there is a great risk that Vietnam and the rest of Southeast Asia will become communist. Will the United States ignore all of this and choose isolationism again?
This Chinese civil war has presented a major challenge to the United States and the liberal democratic world.

“Captain, aren’t we going to withdraw?”
“Well… I don’t know what to do with this.”
This is Shanghai,
General Park Jeong-ui butted heads with the generals.
The Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang have agreed to a ceasefire on the condition that the front lines be maintained. So does that mean everyone can just pack their bags and go home?
The problem is that the Shanghai issue has not been resolved at all, and the power struggle between the Jewish party Aleph and the local Chinese is still ongoing.
Whose land is Shanghai anyway?
Shanghai was enveloped in a strange atmosphere as the United States and the Soviet Union had designated it as a neutral zone, but the United States was showing a pitiful appearance in this war.
If the US military withdraws like this, will Shanghai be able to maintain peace?
First of all, Aleph is vehemently opposed to the withdrawal of the Allied forces.
“If the US military withdraws, we will die!!”
“America must take full responsibility!!”
It is impossible for only 30,000 Jews to fight against over 1 million Chinese locals.
If we withdraw our troops like this, the US military will leave another humiliation in history.
The problem is that the Chinese Communist Party and the Nationalist Party signed an armistice agreement on the condition of withdrawal of allied forces, and if the US military hesitates, war will break out again.
Is the US finally giving up on Shanghai?
While everyone was just watching, shocking news hit the Allied forces.
“Is it true that Poland became communist?!!”
“Yes, the Soviet Union dispersed the protesters and occupied Poland.”
What caused the communization of Poland?
Was it because of the Soviet Union’s oppressive suppression? Or rather, because the US military failed to demonstrate its true power in China.
The Soviet Union, which no longer needed to be concerned about the US military, communized Poland as if it were nothing. If the US military withdraws from China, it is obvious what will happen to Shanghai.
The withdrawal of the Allied Forces meant the imminent communization of Shanghai, and the U.S. government, feeling a sense of crisis, postponed the withdrawal day after day.
If the Soviet Union acted like this, the Allied Forces had no choice but to show something, so the South Korean army led by General Park Jeong-ui also postponed its withdrawal and remained in Shanghai.
So are we just going to waste time like this again?
Brigadier General Kim Jong-pil, who had been observing the situation, stepped forward.
“Captain, now is the time for us to show something.”
“What does that mean?”
“We can’t keep Shanghai under Allied control forever through peaceful means. We must also take a hard line.”
“What on earth are you trying to say?”
Although he said that, Captain Park Jeong-ui had an inkling of it.
The Soviet Union has forcibly subdued Poland, so how long will the Allied forces continue to rule Shanghai under the guise of pacifists? In fact, the Soviet Union branded Polish protesters as “remnants of the Nazis” and killed hundreds of them.
Now that the Allied Forces had to resort to drastic measures, Brigadier General Kim Jong-pil continued to provoke his superiors.
“General, the US military is currently in a state of peace and is not performing its role. At times like these, the Korean military must take a firm stance.”
“I don’t have the authority to do that. What would the President think of us if he knew about this?”
“This is a golden opportunity for Korea to take root in Shanghai. It is a land that is treated as a burden by both the US and the UK, so why don’t we take it? It will be easy if we support Aleph.”
“You are saying some really dangerous things. I will pretend I didn’t hear that, so don’t ever say anything like that again!!”
Although he said that, Park Jeong-ui took the matter seriously.
First, they had to get permission from the president, and so the Korean military set out to act independently, leaving the US and UK aside.

“Tell them to wait for a moment. I’ll think about it.”
“All right.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I continued to worry about the secret letter my uncle sent.
Does Korea have the right to eat Shanghai, or rather, to protect it from communism? I made my judgment based on historical facts rather than that.
‘If I want to fight communism, I have no choice but to become a devil.’
The secret to communism’s expansion of power is simple.
Weakness – Because the minorities were protected and their autonomy was recognized, did those minorities enjoy autonomy and freedom under the Soviet Union?
Do ethnic minorities absorbed into China have autonomy?
There is no need to describe how the Tibetan Uyghurs were treated after being absorbed into China.
The communists’ pattern is to pretend to help minorities on the outside and then abandon them when the time comes. Are we going to just sit by and watch Shanghai fall apart like that?
Now that Poland has become like this, Shanghai can no longer sit idly by.
This is not a question of whether or not we will become sinners of history, but a question of Korea’s interests. If we lose Shanghai, Korea will not be able to engage in free trade with China.
Is it that I want a Korea like the future Korea that is mindful of China?
Even if I become a sinner in history, I will not give up on profit.
“Instruct Brigadier General Kim Jong-pil to arrest Chinese people as an example.”
“Your Majesty, is it really okay to do that?”
“I will take responsibility. Do it now.”
“Ah… Okay, I understand.”
As soon as the order was given, the Korean army began to oppress the Chinese people in Shanghai.
The charge was that he disturbed the peace of Shanghai under Soviet orders, and of course the evidence was fabricated.
It was fabricated evidence, but it will happen someday. When the Korean military suppressed the Chinese people in Shanghai, the Chinese Communist Party reacted fiercely.
“Why are you suppressing the Chinese people?!! Korean military, stop the violence immediately!!”
“We are only rooting out spies who disrupt the peace.”
“If this continues, it will be war again!! Does Korea want war?!!”
“I don’t wish for it, but I don’t avoid it either.”
The South Korean military ignored the threat from the Chinese military.
Didn’t we show our military force against the Chinese army in the last war?
When Korea caused an accident, the US and UK were also forcibly dragged into the flow.
With Poland now communist, it was no longer possible to withdraw from Shanghai, so the armistice was eventually broken and the Chinese army prepared for war again.
