Episode 214: Dream in the game becomes reality

49. King Gong is a problem solver (3)

Invasion of North Korea to unify the Korean Peninsula.

Naturally, the subject of the attack was the Republic of Korea, and the County of Rayers is playing the role of backing it up.

However, even if there is no County of Rayers, North Korea is no match for South Korea in the first place.

At a time when many countries have been hit hard by the catastrophe, South Korea's military power can be considered to be ranked 4th in the world.

Is an aging North Korea dealing with such a military powerhouse?

It's a fight that's not worth fighting.

To the extent that victory or defeat is already decided.

However, there is one part of North Korea's military power that cannot be ignored: the axis of asymmetric power.

It is a missile containing a nuclear weapon.

"The war with China fully demonstrated the interception capabilities of Count Rayers' army, but when I actually experienced it, it was even more amazing than I thought. "We are really intercepting everything."

"I never thought it would be possible to intercept even a shell."

"Did you say the name of that weapon was Sky Fortress? That's a really good name. "Isn't it a completely iron wall?"

"The Sky Fortress is great, but the weapon called the Spirit Tower is no less powerful. "It's not for nothing that they call it a defense-only weapon."

Fortunately, the Army of Count Rayers intercepted North Korea's main force, the missile, so the South Korean military was able to push forward without any worries.

While fighting an enemy, I hit one-sidedly without getting hit even once.

Where else can you find such a thrilling situation?

Thanks to this, despite the terrifying situation of war, Seoul, South Korea was extremely peaceful.

President Kim Min-guk and Minister of National Defense looked extremely satisfied as they monitored the situation through video and communications sent from the battlefield.

The Korean Navy, the new powerhouse of the sea, the powerful Air Force with the latest stealth fighters, and the Army with a combination of tanks, self-propelled artillery, and combat helicopters that can be called the strongest are certainly great, but in terms of majesty, they cannot be compared to the Count Rayers army. I couldn't overcome the sky fortress.

"Compared to a fighter jet, it is truly enormous."

"It is said that the sky fortress weighs 600,000 to 800,000 tons depending on the model."

"Huh… … ."

President Kim Min-guk felt very fortunate that they were allies.

Then suddenly I asked the Minister of National Defense.

"If we fight them, how do you think we will deal with the Sky Fortress and the Spirit Tower?"

"yes? hmm… … ."

It was a question the President asked without much thought, but the Minister of National Defense's expression became increasingly serious.

"Don't misunderstand. "I have no intention of arguing with them."

The Minister of National Defense sighed in relief, saying it was fortunate.

"Honestly, I don't see any gaps. Would the only way to try it be to pour in so much at once that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves one by one? Other than that... … ."

"What else?"

"We need to get help from the United States. Even they wouldn't have an easy time intercepting the rail guns or hypersonic missiles that the U.S. military possesses."

"hmm… … ."

America's power unknown to the outside world.

However, everyone in the know knew that they had rail guns and hypersonic missiles.

"However, I think that the force that really needs to be guarded against in Count Rayers' army is not the fortress in the sky, but the ground force."

"Ground forces?"

The President showed interest in the Secretary of Defense's story.

"I heard that the war in the world of Rondel, where the County of Rayers is located, is fought by Sky Fortress and Vanguard."

"Vanguard? Ah, you're talking about that personal weapon that looks like an Eonman suit."

"That's right. "As it is the main combat power of a world where Sky Fortress exists, it should never be ignored."

"Well, I guess so."

The President was so caught up in the Sky Fortress that he didn't pay much attention to the beings called Vanguard.

Unlike the Sky Fortress, their combat power was not properly known, and the basic belief was that the suits worn by humans would be of no help whatsoever.

"Okay, now that we've won, it would be a good idea to move the vanguards. "We may be allies now, but we don't know what will happen in the future, so we need to properly understand the capabilities of the County of Rayeth."

It seems like the president doesn't even care about North Korea.

At his suggestion, the Minister of National Defense seemed to think it was not a bad decision and nodded, saying he understood.

"Then, I will ask you to support Count Rayers's vanguard before occupying Pyongyang."

"okay."

And after a while.

As the war to occupy Pyongyang began, the two were able to see the Vanguard battle scene they were curious about.

"Huh… … ."

Since it was a ground force, I thought Vanguard might have a tank-like position.

However, after seeing the actual battle, it was not something to be evaluated so simply.

With a single sword, he destroyed all enemies in sight, including tanks and fighter planes.

Sometimes he ran on the ground, and sometimes he flew in the sky using a hoverboard while firing beam attacks.

Only then did the President realize that Vanguard was a miniature version of the Sky Fortress.

He was able to cut tank shells with his sword, or catch mortars with his body. It was literally beyond anything you could imagine.

"I think neighbors should be friendly with each other."

"You didn't even intend to fight in the first place?"

When you see the power of a powerful stranger, you may feel intimidated or feel a sense of crisis.

But at this moment, the thoughts that crossed the President's mind were as follows.

"Don't you think it would be great if we could apply that technology to our military?"

* * *

South Korea's attack on North Korea was truly a disaster.

To the extent that neighboring countries could not react.

There were countries that expressed concern about Korea's momentum, including neighboring countries China and Japan.

Among the four countries that were split, China had great concerns about 'traditional China' centered on Beijing and 'new Balhae' centered on the three northeastern provinces, and the country that watched this situation with even more bewilderment was 'Japan'.

"What are they doing in Balhae? "Didn't you say you would support North Korea?"

"Ah, I guess it's because the South Korean guys' military power cannot be ignored, and a stranger named Count Rayers is with them."

In the last great disaster, island countries suffered great damage.

This was the case in Britain in Europe, Indonesia in Southeast Asia, and Japan in East Asia.

The number of Japanese deaths due to the great disaster was half of the total population.

In addition, a major earthquake tore the entire country apart, and numerous homes were submerged by floods.

And immediately after escaping from the great disaster, a huge poisonous area spread around Mt. Fuji, making the area from Shizuoka to Tokyo uninhabitable.

As a result, the center of Japan was now Osaka, and the survivors were living their days in despair.

"Damn, you're not going to eat North Korea and then target Japan, right?"

Due to the great disaster, Japan's status fell significantly.

Moreover, it is impossible to know how much time it will take just to repair the damage.

Civilization has retreated.

However, Japan was very thankful that Korea was still intact despite having suffered such great damage.

Now the population has become similar, and Korea, which was always cursed, is emerging as a leader of a new era through luck.

"Well, probably not. Aren't both Miu and Gou allies of the United States? "The United States will definitely block it."

"If they attack, what are the odds of winning?"

"The Navy still has some advantages. The Air Force is at a boiling point. the problem is… … ."

"It's the army."

"That's right. "The Japanese fleet suffered so much damage that it was unable to stop the landing of the Korean Marine Corps and Army."

If the Korean ground forces land on the Japanese mainland, the next day is inevitable.

Even before the disaster, Japan's army was no match for Korea.

That's because the military power of the Republic of Korea's army was at a level that could be called the third largest in the world.

But now, the gap between the two has widened further.

Japan's prime minister, who miraculously survived the disaster, bit his fingernails harshly and told his secretary that he thought there was no way he could do it.

"I would like you to make a phone call to the commander of US forces in Japan."

"yes!"

The prime minister ultimately decided that it was best to get help from the United States.

However, the phone call with the commander of U.S. forces in Japan could not be easily connected.

"what? "Is there a communication problem with the US military base?"

"This is a satellite phone… … ."

"okay? Goddamn it, keep going until you get it."

"All right."

It was not until much later that the Japanese Prime Minister was able to hear the voice of the commander of the U.S. military in Japan.

Although the Prime Minister was displeased, he did not show it as much as possible and brought up the matter.

Starting with the story that South Korea is invading North Korea and that it must be stopped.

There is even talk that if things continue like this, Korea may show its fangs towards Japan, so it seems necessary to take action.

The Prime Minister asked for help for Japan from the commander of the U.S. military in Japan.

But for some reason, there was no reply from the other party, and the prime minister, who became anxious, called out the commander's name.

"Commander Douglas?"

The commander of U.S. forces in Japan responded as follows.

[So, haven't we always been close friends?]"I beg your pardon?"

[I'm sorry, but we have received instructions from the President not to interfere with Korea.]"What is that?"

[It means I can't help you.]The prime minister looked blank for a moment.

Is America going to abandon Japan?

No, he denied reality as much as possible, saying that it couldn't be so, and tried to persuade the commander again.

-Pagit.

A possibility flashed through his mind like an electric spark.

"Could it be that South Korea's invasion of North Korea was not theirs alone, but an issue agreed upon with the United States?"

[…] … .]The commander of U.S. forces in Japan paused for a moment.

[That's right.]Soon his guess was proven correct.

[Korea is America's most important ally. Such an alliance has an opportunity to unify, but we can't stop it, right? And it is also a good opportunity to obtain information from strangers.]"Well, I understand that. Let me understand. "But shouldn't we stop them from turning their eyes on us?"

[That is something that Japan and Korea must resolve.]His cool-headed remark made the prime minister think that the commander somehow considered Korea more important than Japan.

"Wasn't we, Japan, an important ally of the United States?"

[Japan is still an important ally.]"then!"

[But if you consider importance, Korea has no choice but to be higher. If the Prime Minister reacts like this, isn't it easy to get an answer?]The prime minister stumbled with a shocked expression, and his secretary quickly helped him up.

[Even now, apologize to Korea and ask for forgiveness for past mistakes. I haven't said anything out of consideration for Japan's importance, but I've frowned at your attitude more than once.]"What did we do wrong?"

[That attitude is wrong. Come to your senses now. How long do you plan to be caught up in the glory of the past?]The commander of U.S. forces in Japan unilaterally hung up the call with those words.

The people in the official residence, including the prime minister, had to have a contemplative look on their faces.

* * *

When the Japanese Prime Minister was swallowing his anger over a phone call with the commander of the U.S. military in Japan.

In Rondelle, Supreme Councilor Ricardo Ordain was welcoming Adrian, who had made an unannounced visit.

"You get to meet the hero who is the center of attention. As a devout member of the Sepia Church, I would like to first express my gratitude to the benefactor who rescued Saint Ivril."

Adrian grinned at Ricardo's greeting, which was second to none when it came to words, and sat down at the head of the reception table without permission.

"Let's sit down."

And as if he were the owner himself, he offered Ricardo a seat.

The corner of Ricardo's mouth twitched for a moment, but with a superhuman performance, he made an expression of apology and sat down in the economy class.

"What do you think I came here for?"

Ricardo answered Adrian's question without hesitation.

"I heard that the President of Israel is conducting an investigation. "He must have visited me for questioning since I am an important suspect."

"To be exact, I plan to interrogate, not interrogate."

Ricardo was not very scared even when faced with the presence that overwhelmed the Auror Master.

As if he knew that nothing would happen to him.

"You have a confident attitude, don't you? He is now in a situation where he is the number one suspect."

"Because I am proud. And as much as I am frightened by His Majesty the King's threats, the country that protects me is not weak."

The answer is, what can you do when there is a great country called Prius Republic behind me?

It was an extremely common sense statement and a good understanding of his position.

"The criminal is proud, so you don't like it?"

-Kwaak.

But Supreme Council member Ricardo Ordain did not know.

The fact that Adrian is different from ordinary politicians.

Wouldn't he have jumped up from his seat, walked towards me, and grabbed me by the collar?

"What is this?"

Ricardo had to widen his eyes and be embarrassed when he saw Adrian smiling like a villain.

"What are you doing? You said you were interrogating me."

"yes?"

And when Adrian raised his fist, Ricardo Ordain had to let out a scream-like cry.

"Bodyguard!"

There was a degree of nonsensicality, but Ricardo could not understand the current situation.
