Franchise God Episode 1597
Chapter 343 Dunkirk in 2025 (4)
The Han-Prussian War broke out, but the United States was too confused to intervene.
Vice President Vincent, who succeeded to the presidency after President Drowen’s resignation, was pressured to “keep quiet for the remainder of his term and follow the will of Congress only.”
Since the remaining term was not long anyway, and because of Drowen’s resignation, I had no intention of taking the initiative in pushing for something.
From the Congress’ point of view, President Vincent was also a target to be checked, just like Drowen.
After the resignation and succession to the presidency, Congress immediately attempted to pass a bill to nullify the treaty.
But Korea’s movements were much faster than that.
They attempted to land while firing threatening bombardments on the coast closest to the Nantes region.
Following the Russo-Japanese front in Europe, a new Han-French front was opened.
* * *
“The enemy fleet is estimated to include one Dokdo-class landing ship, two escort ships, and one Zumwalt-class destroyer.”
“This is a ship type that can transport up to 8 F-35B aircraft.”
The Dokdo-class deck was originally unable to withstand the high heat generated during vertical takeoff and landing, but this problem was solved through deck construction work after renovation.
“No matter how disorganized our France is right now, we are still able to launch a preemptive strike with just that fleet power?”
The French Navy Chief of Staff was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even laugh.
“Sir, our fleet is weak, but we have a Zumwalt-class ship in tow. And we need to watch out for the railgun tactical aircraft escorting the evacuation operation at Nantes Farm. They are relying on that air power and coming out like that.”
On the coast, a small fleet of ships fires their cannons, and in the sky, transport planes invade the airspace as if in a show of caution, evacuating the residents of the Nantes farm.
However, the Air Defense Command did not shoot them down, but just watched.
They are afraid that if they try to force the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents, it will lead to an all-out war that cannot be reversed.
“Now, France is not in a condition to wage war.”
The nation’s infrastructure has been disrupted by solar winds.
Financial chaos abounded, public transport was disrupted, and water supply was severely disrupted due to broken water pumps.
Power supply was also erratic, and to make matters worse, nuclear fusion power, which had more than a year left on its warranty, was cut off.
The country was in a state of suffocation right now, and now it’s being invaded, so it’s crazy and makes you jump.
There was no hope in terms of power either.
The prowess of railgun tactics on display on the Ukrainian front was terrifying.
Not only is it capable of destroying ground units on its own, it also has the defensive power to shoot down surface-to-air rockets and air-to-air missiles with its railgun bullets.
It cannot catch fighter jets because its top speed cannot exceed 1,000 km/h.
However, thanks to its amazing spatial control, it was even evaluated as not being able to shoot down dozens of F-22s that rushed at it.
There have been more than 10 of those guys.
With dozens of F-22s, F-35Cs, and F-35Bs here and there, receiving air support, the French military had no intention of attacking.
Fortunately, there have been no deaths yet, so we have been able to save face by saying, ‘We value human life.’

“What about the Korean military?”
“They are currently focusing on evacuating Koreans from vineyards by shelling the coast near Saint-Nazaire. They do not seem to have any intention of launching an active all-out war yet.”
“Then, as soon as the evacuation of Korean residents is completely over, we will start an all-out war. Isn’t that right?”
“that…….”
The Secretary of Defense hesitated at the reasonable point.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff also set the de-time as the point when the complete withdrawal of Korean residents from the grape farm is completed.
“How about a power comparison? Tell me calmly.”
“Even if our French are in the best condition, they will not win. The Korean army’s ability has already been proven in the Irish War of Independence. They even have a pure hydrogen bomb that surpasses our nuclear power.”
Even now, France’s condition is the worst.
In wartime, a general mobilization order must be issued to the civilian population and all production capacity must be shifted to military use, but isn’t this a situation where factories have come to a halt due to inconsistent electricity supply?
“France’s civilian power supply capacity is currently less than 70% of normal levels.”
“What is the operating rate of military equipment? I heard that the military specifications are designed to withstand solar wind disturbances.”
“Well, most weapons work without any problems… …
“Then there is only one way for us to do it. We take the Koreans at the vineyard hostage.”
“Mr. President! That is… … !”
“That’s the only weapon we have. Can’t you predict what will happen when all the Koreans withdraw? If we miss this opportunity, we will only face defeat in the worst possible way?”
“…..”
The president has already made up his mind.
In fact, it was also the strategy most strongly pushed by the General Staff.
Since weight class alone is not enough, we have to take the grape farm residents hostage.
“Implement immediately.”
“All right.”
The French Army and Air Force launched a joint operation against the Nantes vineyards.
The evacuation support unit, which noticed the approach, immediately stopped the withdrawal for a while.
“Approaching French troops, stand down. We are only carrying out a mission to withdraw for the safety of Korean civilians. We have no intention of fighting here. Stand down immediately.”
The French army responded.
“Your country and our France are at war now, and this is French territory. We have the ability and right to destroy your army. If you care about the safety of Koreans, surrender immediately. The treatment of prisoners of war will follow the Geneva Convention, and civilians will also be treated in the same way.”
“The French government has incited anti-Korean sentiments among the mob, putting them in danger. Your country’s security cannot be trusted. At this point, the Federation of Korea and the Republic of Korea are the most unreliable countries in the world.”
Reactions were mixed, with some people expressing anger at the blatant mockery, while others felt ashamed.
“Target the railgun tactic first!”
The ground rocket unit fired a powerful surface-to-air guided missile.
Hundreds of missiles flew in from all directions, targeting the railgun tactical plane.
Doo doo doo! Doo doo doo! Doo doo doo!
However, the railgun projectiles fired at incredible speed, destroying all of those missiles in a matter of seconds.
Missiles exploded in the air with time differences, creating a beautiful fireworks show.
“How can this be? They intercept all the missiles from such a long distance?”
This time, a self-propelled artillery unit took action.
In fact, it is nonsense to try to capture a propeller aircraft moving at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour with a self-propelled gun.
But isn’t this a situation where we’ve confirmed that the missiles don’t work at all?
However, at the moment when it was about to dissipate heat, a bullet that struck at supersonic speed destroyed the gun barrel.
When dozens of self-propelled guns were disabled in an instant, the commander was terrified and ordered cover.
“I inform all French troops.”
“As you can see, our railgun bullets never miss, and they thoroughly destroy everything they hit with incredible destructive power.”
“Don’t throw away your life in vain. Abandon your vehicle and retreat with your bare body.”
The French Army was terrified.
But the Parisian spirit that endured to the end even in Nazi Germany was not one to back down without a fight!
A hundred of the Air Force’s proud Rafale fighter jets rushed in, firing air-to-air missiles from afar.
However, the missiles were shot down before they could even get close enough and disappeared into flames.
As soon as all the missiles ran out, the Rafale fighters formed a battle formation and rushed in, trying to take out the railgun tactical aircraft with a cannon dogfight.
“Propeller tactical aircraft! With the maneuverability of a jet fighter, you can avoid something like a railgun… … Aaaah!”
“The right wing was shot down.”
“The left wing is destroyed. We escape.”
As railgun fire poured down, dozens of Rafale fighters that had been attacking were left with their pilots trying to escape with their wings torn off.
The projectile was too small and too fast for the Rafale’s poor radar to detect, so it was hit completely without even the slightest evasive maneuver.
The follow-up force rushed in.
“Railgun bullets are not detected by radar! Always assume that the railgun is aimed at me, and approach without stopping while making evasive maneuvers!”
The follow-up force charged towards the railgun tactical plane, displaying complex and flashy maneuvers.
However, as soon as the distance was shortened to within Wkm, the wing was torn off by a bullet attack, and an emergency escape was required.
The commander in chief on the scene wondered if this was a dream.
“To be so helpless against a mere three propeller tactical aircraft… … .”
Is this a railgun?
‘How can it fire at that rate? Its size shouldn’t be able to handle that much power.’
“To the French Army.”
“From now on, all moving vehicles will be indiscriminately attacked. Do not move from your spot. Do not make an attack motion.”
“In the next 20 minutes, the crew will launch an indiscriminate attack on all remaining vehicles. Abandon your vehicles and escape.”
“This is the final notice.”

“Now, take a look at this.”
Ha Soo-young called the four women together and spread out a large map on the table.
“Isn’t this the Taklamakan, or rather the Sand Map?”
“that’s right.”
“Why a paper map all of a sudden? It would have been better to just display it on the wall.”
Ha Su-yeong shrugged her shoulders at Jang Hyo-ju’s words.
“Sometimes we need this kind of analog sensibility. Freedom, bring it.”
“Yes, Master.”
After a while, the Android Freedoms came one by one, carrying building models.
The women were amazed at the intricately crafted miniature models.
“Oh my, it’s so delicately made. Did Freedom make this?”
“I told Freedom to do it. Is it pretty?”
“Yes. This is the Eiffel Tower.”
“Is this the Palace of Versailles?”
“This time it’s the Louvre Palace.”
“This is the Arc de Triomphe.”
In addition, there were many models of famous French architectural cultural assets.
“Okay, now let’s put our heads together and discuss where we should place these sands.”
“Are you going to build an exact replica of The Sand?”
As Mireah, a blonde beauty and former CIA white agent, tilted her head, Jang Hyo-joo put down the Eiffel Tower and crossed her arms.
“Aren’t you trying to move all of the French architectural cultural assets and put them in The Sand?”
“Huh? Hey, that can’t be… … .”
“Even if you’re a swimming expert, how can you move such a large structure? There must be a limit to how much you can disassemble and reassemble.”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Mr. Swimming?”
Ha Soo-young looked intently at the location where Jang Hyo-joo had put down the Eiffel Tower and then met her gaze.
“Do you like it there?”
“Yes. The Eiffel Tower needs to be placed in a place where it cannot see our main building well. We don’t want visitors to be able to see what we’re doing through telescopes. But it also can’t be too far away for us to visit. I like this place.”
“Okay. Then let’s put the Eiffel Tower at those coordinates.”
