#3. Activate Operation Reverse Heaven!

“Mr. President, do you think this is an opportunity?”

“Yes, I think it’s an opportunity. “This is an opportunity to free our Korean people from this damned peninsula, and from half a piece of land at that!”

“…”

“…”

hot.

It’s too hot.

It was the first time everyone attending the NSC had seen the President like this.

“How long on earth will our people have to live like this? A people who loves peace? Tell me not to laugh! Get hit by this guy! Get hit by that guy! After being hit and run over, a piece of land the size of the palm of one’s hand was split into two! By some of the leaders of the victorious countries of World War II!”

“…”

“In the end, a bloody war broke out between the compatriots, and millions of people on both sides died, and the entire country was reduced to dust! So much so that American bomber pilots later couldn’t find a target to bomb! And nearly 80 years have passed. Now it has become easier to make a living, and I have heard that it is a small but strong country. however! however!”

bang!

The President slammed the conference table.

“Now the Chinese are threatening us again! If you get involved in Taiwan’s affairs, I will turn Korea into a sea of ​​fire! “This is what the Chinese ambassador said to me unofficially a few days ago!”

“ha···.”

“No, how…”

“shit!”

A fire arose in everyone’s hearts.

No matter how great a country China is, this is not something an ambassador should say to the president of a neighboring country.

“Who wants to go to war, us? But America says: Prove that Korea is an ally of the United States! Not a single bullet will fall on the American mainland! Moreover, the North Korean pig doesn’t even understand the subject and is thinking of using this opportunity to invade the South with China’s support. Do you understand? Korea, the world’s 10th largest economy! “The true face of the Republic of Korea, which others regard as having the 6th largest military power!”

President Roh Jae-hyun was really angry.

I thought we would be liberated from the Japanese, but the victorious countries drew a ruler and divided the 38th parallel.

And the terrible Korean War.

I woke up with my bare fists on the devastated land and now I am barely alive.

We were proud of being in the top 5% among over 200 countries around the world.

Be it economically, militarily, or culturally.

But then what?

Even if you’re in the top 10 in the whole school, your class is full of people who are ahead of you?

At any rate, it ranks 4th after China, Japan, and Russia.

Moreover, the dark clouds of war were looming again.

It has nothing to do with the will of the 50 million people of the Republic of Korea.

“Hey, Mr. President. “So, Mr. President, are you saying we should use a wormhole?”

“Yes, that’s right. I believe this wormhole is an opportunity given by heaven to our people. Otherwise, how could it have led so exquisitely to 1943? Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say that the wormhole itself is the first to have occurred since the beginning of Earth’s history?”

“So you’re saying you’re going to send an army?”

“The Minister of National Defense is right. I’m asking you now why not change history by sending our troops through a wormhole? Our military is armed with cutting-edge weapons! We have future knowledge that we couldn’t even think of at the time! Should we miss this opportunity?”

“Huh!”

“hmm···.”

The committee members could not come to their senses at all.

The situation is so confusing that a wormhole, unprecedented in human history, has suddenly appeared. The president goes one step further and proposes sending the military to change history.

How could this possibly happen?

No, is it possible to realize it?

“Mr. President, I have one question.”

“Speak, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

“First of all, the place where the wormhole was connected was said to be Gaema Plateau in 1943. But will sending troops there truly create new history?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’m saying this because it’s so science-fiction-like. What do they say sometimes in movies? Oh, parallel universe? Well, in any case, there is such a thing, so I am asking whether there is any guarantee that the past is connected to our future. “It could be another dimension, another universe, right?”

“I’ll tell you that.”

The head of the National Intelligence Service stepped forward.

“We have confirmed that the place the researchers went to is our past, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes? “How did you confirm that?”

“I asked a researcher to plant a marker.”

“A mark?”

“That’s right. By comparing satellite photos, we confirmed that the peak 5km away from the cave exit toward the Jangjiang River has never been developed, and asked them to bury the marker we sent there. “Look at the screen.”

A heavily rusted stainless steel metal plate appeared on the screen, and on the plate was written the word Yeokcheon (逆天) in Chinese characters.

“ah···.”

“That is the sign we sent.”

“How on earth did that happen…”

“Don’t ask that. “Because it was confirmed by our informant.”

“If that’s the case…”

“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff”

“Yes, President.”

“What do you think if the question is solved? “Can our military go and change history?”

“For now, it is possible. A circle 30 meters in diameter would allow almost any advanced weaponry we have to pass through. Since the wormhole is connected, there will be no need to worry about supply.”

“I hope you don’t think that the wormhole will continue forever.”

“yes? Professor Jang, what do you mean by that?”

Professor Jang Pil-sang raised an objection.

“That wormhole isn’t permanent. We are continuously observing the condition of the wormhole by installing measuring instruments, and the wormhole is gradually shrinking over time, albeit very minutely. So it will go away over time.”

“So how long will it be open?”

“At the rate it is decreasing, it will be gone within eight months from now.”

“Hmm…”

“And even if the wormhole remains open, the future will change when the troops we send begin to operate in earnest. If that happens, it could mean that the wormhole itself never opened. No, it is estimated that there is a high probability that will happen.”

“Then they shouldn’t move until all troops and supplies are sent?”

“you’re right. You must not do anything to change the future. Until we send all the power we have prepared and the wormhole closes.”

“Did you know the size of the cave over there?”

“The currently confirmed area is over 260,000 m2. “There are places where it continues, so it is assumed that it will become wider if we check further…”

“It’s incredibly spacious. I think it’s almost 80,000 pyeong.”

“There are quite a few places we haven’t confirmed yet. “Once the measurements are completed, it will definitely exceed 400,000 square meters.”

“What is the height?”

“There are many spaces that are higher than 40m. The lowest point is about 7m. The average so far is 27m.”

“What about temperature and water source?”

“Hoo?”

Professor Jang Pil-sang stood out.

“Are you trying to see if the supplies and troops you are sending can stay for eight months?”

“Yes, it is. “The success of the operation depends on how many supplies and troops we can send.”

“The temperature inside the cave is 18 degrees Celsius. Even though the temperature outside the cave is extremely cold, below -20 degrees Celsius. We also confirmed that drinking water and household water were flowing sufficiently within the cave.”

“oh! “That’s really fortunate.”

The President asked as he saw the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s face widen.

“How is it?”

“The odds are good. “If we send as many troops, weapons, ammunition, and equipment as possible within eight months.”

“is it so?”

“Yes, it is. Eight months after January 1943, it is September. I can’t remember, but around that time, Japan’s power in Northeast Asia was greatly weakened. “The Manchurian Army of Manchukuo is small in number and nothing to look at, so there is nothing to worry about, and the Japanese Joseon Army and Kwantung Army are equally poor armies.”

“Why is that so?”

“That’s because all of our elite troops were taken away by the Confederate Army. In particular, the Joseon army sent its troops to the south, leaving virtually nothing but a shell.”

“ah···.”

“Especially in 1944, it got even worse. “The U.S. war to recapture the Philippines begins and everyone there is massacred.”

“That’s nice to hear.”

“What do you think, President?”

“There is only one thing I wish for! Our Republic of Korea should become a proud member of the victorious nation and prevent anyone from arbitrarily determining the fate of our people! “That’s all!”

Jeon Seung-guk!

How thrilling are these words?

The Yalta Conference, which designed the post-war world order, was entirely based on the intentions of the United States and the Soviet Union, or in fact, Roosevelt was dragging his feet on Stalin and decided to shape the entire world as he pleased.

Even England was a bridesmaid.

France could not participate at all, which drove de Gaulle into a frenzy.

But what if our people become a victorious nation and proudly attend the Yalta Conference in the name of the Republic of Korea?

Our Republic of Korea will be able to stand alone in the world.

And President Roh Jae-hyun was passionately craving it, and soon that desire was contagious to others.

“That’s a cool thing to say. “It’s a country of victory!”

“How is it?”

“Are you providing as much support as possible?”

“It’s a judgment call anyway. And when history changes, we won’t even know we had this meeting. “To put it bluntly, let’s just give the rest of us a shit.”

“Hahaha!”

“ha ha ha!”

“you’re right! “History will change, so what happens afterward?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Everyone, including the President, burst into laughter as if to relieve the anger in their hearts.

Eventually, as the laughter died down, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stood up, followed by the chiefs of staff of the three services.

“Mr President! Just give orders! Our Republic of Korea Armed Forces are strong! “No matter where or when, our Armed Forces will carry out orders!”

“great!”

President Roh Jae-hyun also stood up.

“I give this order as the Marshal of the Republic of Korea and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Activate Operation Reverse Heaven!”

“Chuungseong!”

“May heaven and our ancestors protect our people…”

That’s how the operation began.

January 12, 2027, 5 am.

Residence of the commander of the 8th Mobile Division under the 7th Mobile Corps.

Tiririring! Tiririring!

“Mr. “What kind of guy is this?”

A middle-aged man in bed struggled to avoid answering the phone, but eventually gave up and forced himself to look at the smartphone screen, rubbing his eyes.

“what? What is this guy doing at this hour? Is something happening?”

The middle-aged man, half asleep, hurriedly pressed the receive button.

“honey···.”

– hey! Hey! Why did I answer your phone call so late?

“…”

The middle-aged man was overcome with a serious sense of self-destruction as to why he had to live like this after he was over 50.

It’s gone up enough to go up, so why not just hit it?
