Republic of Korea in Yeokcheon - Chapter 38



Only Krnovel

#38. I think the booklet will be a little thicker.

Roosevelt felt his head, which had been clear for a long time, become dizzy again.

“Do you mean everything in this thick book?”

“That’s right. “There are a lot of explanations, but if you look closely, there aren’t many, so don’t look too stiff.”

“How much are you going to take…?”

“Ah, so you’re saying it’s not true? Plus, it’s sequential. Perhaps a significant number of weapons and equipment may come in after the end of the war.”

“After the end of the war?”

“Yes, our war will probably be in full swing from then on.”

“If that’s the case…”

Only then did Roosevelt’s face straighten.

“After the war, there will be a lot of headaches because of the enormous surplus of weapons and equipment. “We will clean it up.”

“Should I be thankful?”

“haha! You don’t have to. Anyway, if you look closely, the necessary items are organized in a clear and timely manner.”

“Thank you for that.”

Although Roosevelt spoke slightly sarcastically, Lee Kang-cheol was still confident.

“Our crew had a hard time. Initially, it was ammunition and fire extinguishers, as well as zip trucks, transport trucks, M3 half-tracks, and heavy construction equipment. Of course, there are a lot of materials.”

“Let’s see.”

Roosevelt carefully picked up the booklet and began to look at it.

“600,000 M1 Garand rifles!”

“Please give only 300,000 tablets first, and you can give the 300,000 tablets after the end of the war.”

“20,000 M2 50-caliber machine guns!”

“That too. “You made almost 2 million tablets, right?”

“50,000 M1919 Browning .30 caliber machine guns!”

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of Inhae Tactics? “We need a lot of machine guns to deal with the Chinese.”

“10,000 GMC CCKW two and a half trucks! 20,000 Willys Jeep trucks! 3,000 M3 half-track armored vehicles!”

“Because we don’t have many vehicles.”

“…”

In addition, the materials requested were endless.

It included ammunition, field artillery, helmets, canteens, crude oil and refined oil, combat rations, medical supplies, as well as various machinery and heavy construction equipment, but this was just the beginning.

“Are you planning on starting World War III?”

Roosevelt read only the first part, then closed the book and asked:

“The largest country on Earth is the most populous country. “There has to be that level.”

“Huh! great. Honestly, it’s not that I can’t handle it. This is especially true after the end of the war. So what would you like General to give you?”

“As expected, you’re upset. “So are you granting our request?”

“I’ll do my best to accommodate you.”

“great. First, Montgomery, stop what that stupid person is trying to do.”

“yes? Montgomery? then···.”

“Market Garden!”

“Are you saying the operation went wrong?”

“If something were just wrong, I wouldn’t be so condescending. A catastrophe occurs. A catastrophe!”

“Huh!”

“I knew that arrogant bastard would be like this!”

“…”

It was, after all, a reaction befitting Admiral King.

But in reality, he was almost always right.

If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have been able to be in this position.

“But that operation was also reviewed and approved by Ike.”

“Ike doesn’t always do well. “I’m sorry, but I think he was a little blinded by greed this time.”

“If it’s greed… ah!”

“Well, it’s a political part of your country, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to comment on it.”

“okay.”

“Anyway, now is the time to strengthen the European front. “Didn’t the rapid advance after Normandy make the supply lines incredibly long?”

“you’re right. Because of that, the ridiculous thing is happening where supply trucks are eating up supplies.”

“Then, from now on, I recommend that you advance slowly and take a break for a while. “Don’t end the war before Christmas and end up costing the lives of innocent soldiers.”

“Then it wouldn’t be good if Germany was given a chance to recover.”

“Germany is already over. It’s the last struggle. Why would you even think of sticking your head in front of a struggling madman for the last time? “Leave that to the Soviet Union.”

“haha! “That is also correct.”

It is now known to everyone that Hitler’s Third Reich is heading towards its end.

However, there is no need to be in front of a crazy person who is struggling for the last time to bring about the end of the world a little earlier.

If it were necessary, it would have been right to let the future enemy, the Soviet Union, take the brunt of it.

“How is it? Do you think you paid for this booklet?”

“Not all, but some.”

“…”

As expected, Operation Market Garden alone was an impossible task.

“Anyway, I have a question.”

“What is?”

“How on earth are you going to receive this much supplies? “The Korean Peninsula and the waters around Japan are still controlled by the Japanese Navy?”

“The Japanese Navy will soon be nothing but a shell, right? “It will be destroyed in Philippine waters this fall.”

“Oh oh! then?”

“Hahaha! “Our navy does it right!”

Both Roosevelt and Admiral King cheered, clenching their fists.

This is because Lee Kang-cheol’s words meant that the recovery operation in the Philippines would be successful.

“Yes, it is. After this fall, the Japanese Navy will be at an end. but···.”

“but? But what is it?”

“The overall operation was a success, but there were some disappointments.”

“What is that? What is it?”

“What is that…”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you going to give me the supplies in this booklet?”

“no way! give! Give!”

“What if I hang up here!”

“ha ha ha!”

When Lee Kang-cheol did not respond to an important question and cast a cutting magic attack, Roosevelt and Admiral King became excited and rushed at him.

“Then I understand. “Tell Admiral Halsey not to follow Zuikaku northward.”

“Don’t follow Zuikaku? Zuikaku is one of the few remaining regular aircraft carriers in the Japanese Navy, right? Did you participate in the invasion of Pearl Harbor?”

“you’re right. As Admiral Halsey’s 3rd Fleet moves north along Zuikaku, the American landing force is in great danger. “We escaped the crisis thanks to the struggles of ignoring the deaths of several frigate and destroyer captains, the struggles of Taffy 3 pilots, and the Japanese Navy’s misunderstanding.”

“ah···.”

“Then what happens to the destroyer captain?”

“You get the Medal of Honor. “Even after death…”

“…”

The atmosphere became solemn for a moment.

No matter how difficult it is to receive the Medal of Honor while alive, what good does it have after death?

“Thanks to the General, that won’t happen, but could you tell me the names of those brave captains?”

“Of course. Captain Ernest Evans of the destroyer Johnstone is a posthumous recipient of the Medal of Honor. and Robert Copeland of Samuel B. Robertsham, and Amos T. Hathaway of Heermannham. Oh, and Joel also played an active role.”

“Hoo? How can you memorize it so line by line?”

“These are people who always appear in various war documentaries of our time. Thanks to this, people who are interested in the military cannot fail to know about it.”

“Was it that bad?”

“of course. Their opponents were battleships, including Yamato, and heavy and light cruisers. We charged in to protect Taffy 3’s escort aircraft carrier against those guys. “I knew for sure that I was going to die.”

“ah···.”

“under···.”

“And you were just brave? They fought so well that they even made Japan’s mighty fleet flee. In particular, Heermann took on three battleships by himself.”

“Oh oh! Jesus!”

“After all, they are my babies! Hahaha!”

It hasn’t even happened yet.

However, Roosevelt and Admiral King could not help but be moved by Lee Kang-cheol’s words, which spoke as if they were heroic legends.

“Admiral King, please remember those brave friends. “It won’t happen anymore, but we can’t just sit still.”

“of course. “I will take care of it myself.”

“ha ha ha! I think it would be a good idea to do so. As a fellow soldier, I also really respected him. Anyway, that’s almost the end of the Japanese Navy. So, you can send us a transport fleet starting in November.”

“So you have complete control over the waters of the Korean Peninsula?”

“of course. They cannot come close to our Korean peninsula. If you approach them, they will sink you. “The sky is the same.”

“What kind of weapon do you want to use?”

“haha! That’s a secret. “We cannot reveal future weapons.”

“Tsk, I’m sorry.”

“I can’t help but feel sad. It is better for the world to proceed in a normal development process. And anyway, the United States will soon be making similar weapons, so don’t fret too much.”

“All right. “Anyway, this means that when our transport fleet enters the waters of the Korean Peninsula, its safety will be guaranteed, right?”

“Yes, it is. We’re all watching anyway… hmm?”

“You’re watching everything?”

“wait a minute.”

“yes?”

Lee Kang-cheol was in a dazed state for a moment because something occurred to him while he was talking.

When I thought about it, there was no need to tell Halsey not to follow Zuikaku.

This is because the Philippine Sea is an area covered by Albatross, so it is enough for the Expeditionary Force Command to inform the location of the Japanese fleet in real time.

“Huh! Me indeed. “Up until Leyte, you were so caught up in the idea that history shouldn’t be changed that you didn’t think of this?”

“yes? “What did you say?”

When Lee Kang-cheol spoke to himself in Korean, Roosevelt, who could not understand it, did not understand the English text.

“Oh, sorry. Something came to mind, so I spoke to myself in Korean. “Hey, President Roosevelt.”

“Yes, General”

“Let’s do it this way.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Philippine operation that will take place soon. We will inform you of the location of the Japanese military fleet in real time. In addition, the location of the Japanese ground forces.”

“yes? “Is that possible?”

“of course. Don’t ask me how. Anyway, we know the real-time location of all Japanese troops up to the Philippines.”

“Oh my god…”

“oh my god!”

What if you could determine the enemy’s location in real time?

This is almost like a fraud in war.

There was no need to say anything, especially if the enemy’s military power was already overwhelming, like the U.S. military.

“Is that really true?”

“That’s right. We’ll tell you their location in real time, so the US military just has to hunt them down. It will be a joint ROK-US operation. ha ha ha!”

“Mr President! If the General says so, this is going to be a really one-sided hunt.”

“Huh! “What kind of technology…”

“Is that why I told you not to ask? Anyway, how is it? As far as we know, more than 20,000 American soldiers died in the battle to recapture the Philippines. But what if you join hands with us?”

“Most of them will survive.”

“bingo! Now, what do you want to do?”

“Is this even a choice? Of course, we ask for your cooperation. but···.”

As he spoke, Roosevelt looked at the booklet on the table.

“ha ha ha! Isn’t it natural that if something goes, something comes? “I think the booklet will be a little thicker.”

“Ugh! “I can’t help it.”

“Hahaha!”

“…”

When Lee Kang-cheol burst into laughter as a winner, Roosevelt glanced at him disapprovingly.
