Gishin, support independence
Kishin looked at the sleeping Hyocheon with affectionate eyes. It felt so intimate that it felt real to say that they were connected by soul. It was known that monsters do not sleep, but that was the result of research on monsters that had finished growing. Hyocheon grew bigger every time he woke up from sleep.
The Magic Association requested Gishin to transfer Hyocheon for research purposes, but had no choice but to give up after Gishin replied that it was connected to the soul. Then, they blamed the Magic Academy for expelling Gishin, and the Magic Academy counterattacked, saying that they were only following the Association’s regulations. Gishin, who unintentionally deepened the contradictions in the Korean Empire’s magic academia, was giving a lecture to magic scholars today as well.
After showing excellent performance in several defenses, Kishin was ordered to improve the operational analysis program. However, it was not a problem with the program, but rather with the hardware. The more detailed the program, the longer the analysis time, and the further away it was from the purpose of deploying it in actual combat.
The knowledge of hardware is very basic, but here it is innovative. The theory of dual cores made the magicians worship the gods like fanatics. The computer, called the big calculator here, is made up of a core and a storage device. The core is doing all the work of the CPU, graphics card, and audio card, and the storage device is doing the work of the hard disk and memory.
By dividing the storage device into hard disk and memory according to the claim of the god, the speed of loading files was increased, and the graphics card and audio card were separated, and the core was made to only perform simple calculations, thereby greatly increasing the performance.
Let’s find the right direction. With the help of magic, hardware performance has rapidly improved. Kisin is currently giving a lecture on programming techniques. He has Hyocheon, who never leaves Kisin’s side, sleeping on the side.
“Finally, I want to emphasize one more thing. Every program must be adapted to the hardware situation and be faithful to its intended use. No matter how excellent an academic program is, if no one wants to use it, it is garbage.”
After the lecture, the magic scholars swarmed over and asked Kishin many questions. He answered the questions he could answer and honestly denied the parts he didn’t know. Kishin has now been promoted to a three-star general. However, except for when he is guarding the residential area east of Jeju Island, he spends all his time lecturing magic scholars and factory managers.
“My name is Baek Yu-han, the father of Shin Cham-jang and Baek Yoon-hee.”
“Nice to meet you. It’s Shin Gi.”
Baek Yu-han is a fallen noble. He surprised everyone around him by recommending his daughter to the Magic Academy instead of his son. He is very stubborn and assertive, and is famous in the noble world. He may not have done anything particularly out of the ordinary, but in the rigid aristocratic society, someone with Baek Yu-han’s personality would easily become a subject of gossip.
“I don’t want anyone to hear our conversation. Would it be okay if I put up a magical barrier?”
After receiving the divine consent, Baek Yu-han asked the wind wizard he brought to create a barrier. When the thin barrier was drawn, Baek Yu-han opened his mouth again.
“Actually, I am the leader of the Joseon Independence Army. It is a gathering of nobles who wish for Joseon’s independence, and our goal is to become independent from the Korean Empire and establish our own country.”
Kishin remained silent, not knowing what to say in response to the unexpected words.
“I’m sorry to say this so suddenly. We are very well prepared for independence, but there is only one last obstacle left: the Marquis of Pyongyang and the Count of Gangwon Province.”
This refers to the family of Kim Hoe-guk, the Marquis of Pyongyang. It is the family that requested marriage to Shingi but was rejected. Of course, it is not the case that the relationship between the two families became strained simply because the marriage did not take place.
“Please explain in more detail. I don’t know much about your family.”
The nobles who currently want independence are raising private soldiers in preparation for independence. They have already gathered enough troops to achieve independence, but there are still huge obstacles. The Kim family, the marquis of Pyongyang, and the Shin family, the Count of Marquis. The problem is who will become the king of this country if independence is achieved.
“Why do we need to have a king? Why not just have a republic like the British Empire?”
“The Emperor of the British Empire is a wizard. It’s a republic that is run solely by the will of wizards. And the reason we need a king is because we are the front line against monsters. We need a king to gather all the power.”
The origin of monsters is Japan. Japanese monsters first gather in Tsushima Island, and when the monsters gathered in Tsushima Island grow in size, they move to Jeju Island. After staying in Jeju Island for a certain period of time, they disperse to the east and north. Because of its importance, among the numerous vassals, only a few families, including the Shin family, have independent operational rights.
“If there are such big problems, wouldn’t it be better to just stay like this and not become independent?”
Kishin is a generation that grew up receiving democratic education. They believe that the people are more important than the country or the government, so they thought that for the people, it was a better choice to remain stable.
“Think of the Japanese refugees on Jeju Island. They have been without a state for hundreds of years, yet they have remained united and have not been subjugated to the Korean Empire. We, too, are different people from the descendants of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese, who have no land, want independence, so why shouldn’t we, who have already recovered all our land, be independent?”
After calming his agitated heart, Baek Yu-han continued speaking calmly.
“There are also practical issues. In fact, the imperial support for this side is continuously decreasing. It is true that the battles in the Xi’an and Luoyang areas are very fierce, but this side is much more important. If the new general had not recently improved productivity through various reforms, it would have gradually collapsed in five years.”
“Why did you come looking for me? I think you know what position I hold in the family.”
“Currently, only Chief Shin and his younger sister Shin Yo are single. If the Shin family becomes royalty, Chief Shin will have to marry one of the young ladies of the Marquis’ house, and if the Kim family becomes royalty, his younger sister will have to get married. We are asking Chief Shin because it is not easy to meet Count Shindo. We discussed marriage last time, but there was no result. I would like to know the intentions of both families clearly.”
“But there is a bigger problem. Should we just let the Korean Empire gain independence?”
Baek Yu-han smiled leisurely. As rumored, his political judgment ability is very lacking.
“We are mostly fallen nobles, so we don’t have much power. However, we are able to come together because we have many supporters behind us. Among those supporters are Russia, and the wizards of the British Empire. And the royal family of the Korean Empire is one of our oldest supporters.”
Kishin tried not to show his feelings, but failed. Baek Yuhan continued speaking.
“If you think about the British Empire forcing Canada to become independent and the refusal of three countries, including Norway, to submit, the answer will come easily. They don’t want to be a burden. If you compare the production and consumption of the Korean Peninsula, you can easily see how enormous the resources the Korean Empire pours into the Korean Peninsula every year are.”
“Then, is the talk about private soldiers a preparation for the case when support from the Korean Empire is cut off after independence?”
“Of course. We are preparing to fill the gap once support is cut off and all of the Korean Empire’s troops withdraw. We have absolutely no intention of gaining independence by force.”
If we can cut off support for the Korean Peninsula, we will have spare resources. With those resources, we can strengthen the defense of the coastal region and expand our territory to Sacheon and Seojang, which will give us fertile land and rich mines. Then, we will have more spare resources and can recover more territory. The royal family of the Korean Empire believes that if this virtuous cycle is achieved, we will eventually be able to drive out all the monsters.
“The royal family could unilaterally reduce its support here to an appropriate degree.”
“If we do that, the people’s hearts will waver. When the people’s hearts waver, production will decline. It is absolutely beneficial for the imperial family to make this side independent.”
“Then shouldn’t we try not to become independent?”
“That’s how it was originally. We also knew the imperial intentions well, so we were estimating the timing. However, recently, thanks to the new commander, production has increased and resource consumption has decreased. In addition, ammunition consumption during battle has also decreased, so according to our calculations, there is no problem in becoming independent.”
“The monsters’ behavior patterns will change soon. Will you be able to stop them without any problems?”
Baek Yu-han was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“But I don’t think there’s a better opportunity than this. Our independence fighters want to achieve independence even if it means making small sacrifices.”
Rather than an independent army, they seem like a group of fallen nobles who grew their power by receiving sponsorship. It is highly likely that they pretended to want independence because they could not resist the urging of sponsors including the royal family. Then, when the opportunity arose, they are now actively moving in the hope of securing a position after independence. If not, if they had prepared in advance, they would have gone directly to Shindo or the Marquis and not come to Gishin now.
The judgment of the gods is almost close to the truth. However, Baek Yu-han himself is someone who truly wants independence. Most of the leaders of the independence army have a strong will for independence. Those who have a weak will for independence are just pretending to do so and receiving donations.
After much thought, Kishin finally made up his mind. He decided to support independence. His mind was still not completely clear, but his heart was in favor of independence.
“If we become independent, have you thought about what name to give our country?”
“No. That should be decided by the family that produces the king.”
“What about the Republic of Korea? A great country for the people.”
### I am the depressing dividing line ###
Shin-gi returned to England after watching only the opening game. It was completely different from the soccer he had imagined. When I searched the internet recently, I found many opinions that the Champions League was better than the World Cup. They said that the level and fun of the World Cup games were lower than the Champions League.
I searched for the Champions game and watched it, but it wasn’t very interesting. The monk who lost to Gishin twice lifted the trophy, but the game was boring and uninteresting. However, what shocked Gishin even more was something else.
Eric Hunter took Shingi to a middle school in Nottingham, saying he had to do community service. Shingi became the daily coach and played against another team. However, Shingi’s 4-1-5 formation was no threat to the opponent and they lost by a large score of 0:5. The players reorganized their formations during the game and played the game, so they did not lose by a large score.
All the players Shingi had contacted signed with Notts County. The success rate was 100% due to the influence of DPP. However, Shingi, who was already disappointed in football, was not very happy. At that time, Shingi received a phone call from Korea.
