Operation to recover Daemado Island
Kim Eun-gyeol and Yeon-ah, who received the letter from the god, promised to help Victor. They were interested in the idea of lowering the temperature in a certain area to reduce the fighting power of the monsters. The range of the magic weapon Yeon-ah is too narrow to be called an area. And since it does not have magical eyes, people within that range are also attacked.
However, if the temperature is lowered through cold air, it will not cause much damage to people. If successful, it can play a very important role in the war against monsters. However, no one thought it was possible until now. Increasing the range of magic is a very high-level type of magic. Even the British Empire has not been able to produce proper research results. However, the two, who remember the genius that Gishin had shown, received a letter from the god and decided to study it.
Baek Yu-han, who received the letter, also decided to help Victor along with Kim Eun-gyeol and Yeon-ah. The reason Shin-gi sent the letter to Baek Yu-han was because he thought that Kim Won-gyeon, who was present at the time, was in cahoots with his father and brother. Since there had to be at least one noble who would support the magicians’ research, he chose Baek Yu-han.
The research projects of the wizards must have one high-ranking noble of the count or higher as an examiner. However, the examiner can only participate in one project. This is a policy created to limit the research projects of the wizards. Kim Eun-gyeol and Yeon-ah can support each other’s research projects as examiners. However, other research projects are controlled by the nobles. If there is no noble who calls himself an examiner, the research project will not be recognized.
However, Baek Yu-han, unlike the other two, told someone else about Shingi’s survival. That person was Kim Won-gyeon, who had formed a secret alliance. When Kim Won-gyeon learned of Shingi’s survival, he thought about it over and over again before informing Shinmu, who was being pushed to be the next king.
“It’s incredible. Even if you escaped by boat straight from Taiwan, it would be impossible to get to Russia.”
“I think we should assume that there is something. Didn’t the Duke say that it was the King and Crown Prince’s idea to throw away the sacred spirit and that he didn’t know about it in advance?”
“He didn’t tell me.”
Shinmu tormented Shingi a lot when he was young. Shinmu entered the military with the count before he became an adult. He hated Shinhyeon who was supported by his vassals at home, and Shingi who abandoned his duties as a noble and only played around all day. However, Shinhyeon was untouchable, so he mainly tormented Shingi.
Then, when he got older and faced reality, he stopped bullying him. Perhaps in Shinhyeon’s eyes, the two of them seemed to have become closer. Shinmu couldn’t understand why his father and older brother decided to throw away Shingi, who was so useful. Shingi was a weak child, so if he was well-coaxed, he wouldn’t do anything that would harm the family.
“Have you not made up your mind yet? What wealth and honor should I desire? I will tell the Duke to be greedy. It is all for the sake of the country and the people.”
Shinmu knows that most of what Kim Won-gyun says is true. Kim Won-gyun thinks that if Shin Hyeon becomes king, the future of the Republic of Korea will not be bright. The royal family is currently pursuing pro-people policies to keep the people. They even named it the Republic of Korea.
However, if Shin Hyeon becomes king, there is a high possibility that he will implement policies for the nobles. Shin Hyeon, who learned the duties and rights of the nobles only from books, has a very poor sense of reality. He thinks that all nobles and people will naturally perform their duties in their respective positions.
“I will inform the Crown Prince of the survival of the Shinki. I will decide after seeing how the Crown Prince reacts.”
Shinmu had been in the military since he was young, and he was very comfortable with the military where orders are obeyed. That’s why he had no intention of getting involved in the royal politics. However, if he had not really abandoned Shingi and was plotting something, he should think again. He didn’t feel very good about thinking that everyone else was plotting something, except for him.
Shinmu is a cautious person. While in charge of the coastal defense of Hamgyeong-do, he realized that his rash decisions could endanger people’s lives. So after much thought, he went to see Shinhyeon.
“Brother, I have something to say.”
“Keep your dignity, Duke Shin.”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, I request private conversation.”
Shin Hyun dismissed all the servants and maids. When they were left alone, Shin Mu opened his mouth again.
“There is a person who said he saw a miracle in Russia.”
Shin Hyun is not deep. He grew up doing whatever he wanted since he was young, so he doesn’t care about what anyone thinks. Shin Hyun snorted when he heard Shin Mu’s words.
“Speak sensibly. If I had seen it in the Korean Empire, I would have believed it, but Russia?”
“There are people who have actually talked to the gods.”
Shin Hyun frowned. He knew that Shin Moo was not the type to talk nonsense. Shin Moo also confirmed that Shin Hyun did not know about Shin Gi’s survival. He knew that Shin Hyun was not the type to act in front of him.
After Shinmu left the palace, Shinhyeon went to find her mother.
“Your Majesty, I send my greetings.”
“Come in. I will offer you some jujube tea, and you all must go away.”
After offering warm jujube tea, all the maids retreated. Shin Hyeon opened her mouth after warming her stomach with the jujube tea.
“They say that the spirit is alive. Since it is the word of the god, it is trustworthy.”
“Your name is really long. Don’t worry, your father didn’t do anything about it.”
“I feel like I have something to show. If I continue like this, I don’t think I will be able to be dignified even if I become king.”
“Do you have anything in mind?”
“I plan to recover Daemado. If I achieve this level of achievement, I think my dignity will be conveyed to the people.”
“I will not spare my support, so give it a try.”
Shin Hyeon, who had been promised support from the Queen, went straight to see her father.
“Your Majesty, I send my regards to the Crown Prince.”
“So what’s going on?”
“Although I am a minor character, I will take responsibility and recover Tsushima Island, and let the glory of the Republic of Korea and the Royal Family be known to the world. The Queen Mother has also promised her support.”
Shindo did not answer right away, but was deep in thought. The queen was not a Korean, but the eldest daughter of the Duke of the Korean Empire. The Duke of the Korean Empire, the second most powerful force after the imperial family, did not spare its support even after the Republic of Korea became independent. In fact, the most important factor in the decision to abandon the Shingi was the support of the Duke of the Korean Empire.
“We have not yet confirmed whether the operation in Taiwan was successful. We are recording and analyzing the movement paths of the monsters of the Korean Empire, but no definite conclusion has been reached yet. And if there is something like a broken sword on Tsushima Island, we have not yet decided what to do with it. We have not yet analyzed how many of the monsters gathered on Tsushima Island are heading towards our land.”
“After recovering Tsushima Island, we can leave the defense to the Japanese refugees. We must drive out all the subversive elements who do not want to live as Koreans from Korean land. It is not right for those who live in this land by the King’s grace not to serve the King. We currently have ample military power and resources. I believe that now is the best time to act so that we can respond actively if a problem arises.”
If there had been no attempt to move the broken sword to Taiwan, South Korea would only be able to hold out for about three years. After three years, they would have to crawl back to the Korean Empire, which had regained more territory and become stronger. However, since the operation to move the broken sword was successful, they had some time to spare. They told Shin Hyun that they had not yet reached a conclusion, but in fact, they had already confirmed that the monsters were heading to Taiwan.
The number of monsters heading to Tsushima Island has also decreased compared to before, making it much easier. So Shinto did not feel the need to reclaim Tsushima Island. If hundreds of thousands of Japanese people leave, there will be disruptions in factories and food supply for a while.
“The Duke of Shandong has promised to provide sufficient food. I think it would be a good opportunity to subjugate Tsushima Island and demonstrate the royal prestige, as well as drive out the subversive elements from this land.”
Since the queen has already agreed, it will proceed somehow. While Shindo is busy with military affairs, the countess has taken control of the family. Since three-tenths of the ministers are vassals who followed the countess, Tsushima Island will eventually have to be reclaimed.
“Are you confident?”
“I may be a minor character, but I will do my best not to bring shame upon the royal family.”
Shin Hyun went back happily after getting the king’s permission. Shin Do felt great regret as he looked at Shin Hyun’s back. The child he liked the most was Shin Mu. And the child he found most useful was Shin Gi. After thinking about many things comprehensively, he abandoned Shin Gi, but it was always on his mind.
‘We must inform the Imperial Family of the Korean Empire about the Taiwan incident at the right time. If it is Shin Gi’s independent action, it will be difficult for the Korean Empire to find fault with it. We do not know how long Shin Hyeon will keep it a secret from his maternal family, so we must inform them first.’
If Shin Hyun tells the queen first, the Duke will get the information before the imperial family. If that happens, the Republic of Korea will be in a difficult position. Since the population size and military power are still very different, we have to watch the Korean Empire’s mood. That’s why I plan to inform the imperial family first at an appropriate time.
‘I should give Kim Won-Gyeon some power. The queen’s power is too strong. The foundation of the country has not been properly established yet, and I have lived as a citizen of the Korean Empire for hundreds of years, so I can’t help but feel bad. If there is a problem, they will immediately abandon the country and run away, so I should purge them thoroughly when I have the chance.’
Shindo is more of a soldier than a king. It’s not that he lacks political sense, but he doesn’t bother to use his brain to solve problems that can be solved with force. In South Korea, it’s better to say that the divine power is weak rather than the royal power is strong. That’s why the only people who can find fault with Shindo’s actions are the queen and Kim Won-gyun. Kim Won-gyun is fine because he has excellent political sense, but the ugly queen who holds power is the problem.
‘Yes, I should take this opportunity to check how much Shin Hyun’s vessel is.’
Shindo once again missed the newness. He always looked at problems with a new perspective and came up with an extraordinary solution. It was as if he was a different person. If he had been pretending to be stupid before, he would have been reluctant to do so because he thought his feelings were too deep.
At that time, aside from Shingi’s talent and usefulness, all circumstances urged me to throw Shingi away. So I threw it away, but now that things I don’t like are happening, I miss Shingi.
“It’s all my fault for being so immoral.”
After a few days, the Japanese refugees celebrated when they learned that the royal family had decided to reclaim Tsushima Island. However, the young leaders, including Fengsin Sugil, were worried. With great difficulty, they sent people to Africa through the British Empire. There, they are building factories to process magic stones and weapons factories, but the supply of resources is not yet stable.
After recovering Tsushima Island, we must get out of the shadow of the Korean royal family. Otherwise, Japan will become a colony of the Republic of Korea. If we recover Tsushima Island when we are not ready, we cannot even imagine how much damage we will suffer.
“It’s already been decided, so let’s not think about anything else and think about how to minimize the damage.”
“According to information from Africa, Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s hand bone was buried in a place called Taiwan. Since then, monsters have not swarmed Jeju Island. If there is something similar on Tsushima Island, we must find it and destroy it before the royal family of the Republic of Korea, or smuggle it somewhere else.”
“The best option would be to move it to Jeju Island. If not, let’s destroy it. Let’s make a plan now.”
