169 Immovable Charter (1)
Early winter of 1836.
The Qing dynasty raised a large army of 500,000 and began to advance southward.
The ranks of 500,000 troops moving were enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
Lee Gak is listening to the news in real time over the phone.
“It is said that 500,000 troops have already reached Qingyuan in northern Guangzhou.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Even though Lee Gak heard the news that 500,000 troops were coming, he was consistent with a determined expression on his face.
Rather, he was drinking tea as usual, preparing naan, and listening to the news of the soldiers.

Meanwhile, Lee Gak received the news that the reinforcements from the rear had arrived.
“The 10th Fleet has assembled on Hainan Island.”
“The 10th Fleet?”
“It appears that they are back, perhaps because of the thought that we might lose the war.”
Yoo Ha-ra has already become a loyal follower of Lee Gak, and life without him is unimaginable.
I didn’t even know if it was natural for Yuhara to return like that.
However, Lee Gak gave Yu Hara a different mission.
“Take in Yuhara.”
“Yes, Grand Duke.”
Yuhara, who was waiting at the base of the fleet at Lee Gak’s call, ran to her in one month.
He was a little sloppy, but he kept his courtesy to the angle as much as possible.
“Duke, did you call?”
“You are back in Hainan.”
“Isn’t it natural?”
“Why?”
“The master is fighting a decisive battle with 500,000 troops, how can he not come back here as a general?”
Yuhara had a determined expression on her face.
Lee Gak also thought that Yuhara was very strong and cool.
However, in this battle, Yuhara had to do something else.
“I will become Yuhara of the Kanto, no, I will become Yuhara of the Black Dragon Fleet.”
“Yes, Grand Duke. You name it.”
People call the 10th Fleet, the private fleet, the Black Dragon Fleet, and the nickname was transferred to Yuhara and became the Black Dragon’s Yuhara.
Yuhara kept her long sword in a matching black scabbard.
“Did I give you a long sword and name it?”
“Not yet.”
“Let’s call it the Black Dragon Sword. How is it?”
“Then I’ll name it Black Dragon Island.”
“You take the Black Dragon sword and go to the Yellow Sea.”
“If it’s the Yellow Sea… … .”
“The DPRK-Japan Allied Forces will be organized. The Black Dragon Fleet will destroy them and plunder everything.”
“Are you saying that you are going to cut off the enemy’s supplies?”
“You saw it very accurately.”
If Qing loses to Easterfield, the allied forces between Japan and Korea will collapse anyway.
Even now, if the Chosŏn-Japanese coalition, which had lost its power due to the occupation of the southern part of Joseon and the western part of Japan, lost even Qing here, it would have been imprisoned in isolation.
“If the combined forces of China and Japan come together, it may become more cumbersome than you think. Rather than that, it would be better to block the union in advance.”
“… … I will obey the will of the lord. But we are at an absolute disadvantage. What are you going to do?”
“Isn’t there an Australian expeditionary force?”
“Um, it’s the Australian Expeditionary Force.”
“As long as they support the supply in Australia, we are never defeated.”
Yuhara made a determined determination.
“Even if this body dies, I will follow my lord!”
“Thank you.”
“Then please be safe. I am alone.”
Yuhara assembled a fleet to deal with the Japanese and Japanese forces before they crossed the Yellow Sea.
Soon, news came that additional troops had arrived from Australia.
“The Australian 8th Fleet and the Australian Commonwealth have sent 20,000 troops in total. It is said that there are only 10,000 armored troops.”
“You must have raked almost all of the tanks.”
“They say they just came out of the factory. This is our Easterfield 3rd generation tank.”
“Oh, a third-generation tank!”
The third-generation tank is a three-fold improvement over the tank originally developed by Easterfield.
It had the speed and power, and the ability to dominate the battlefield by equipping it with alloy heavy armor that could not be matched with conventional armor.
In addition, by improving the high-speed AP shells, it will be possible to destroy the poor display of blue in one shot.
“How is the construction of the defensive positions progressing?”
“A huge front has already been formed across Hong Kong and Macau. Infantry trenches, mountain fortifications and rear batteries are complete.”
“How about Haeanpo?”
“In conjunction with the coastal artillery positions, we have established a base where destroyers and battleships can fire from sea guns.”
“Hmm, fine. Flexible fire support would be possible.”
Easterfield’s third-generation battleships have improved maneuverability and improved performance, such as significantly reducing the time it takes to fire.

Most notable was the ability to advance while firing small-caliber guns.
It means that a lot of attention has been paid to balance.
“Have you already won?”
***
While Qing’s half-million troops advanced into Macau and Hong Kong, surrounding villages were on fire.
“General! It is said that all the surrounding granaries were burned!”
“what?”
“The granary in the rear is also on fire!”
“Um, did the enemy special forces move?”
“Even so, it’s too fast. Isn’t it strange that it takes less than a day for a whole castle to burn?”
“Then, are you saying that the operation has already been prepared?”
“Otherwise, there is no explanation.”
“Damn, the whole Guangdong is in their hands?”
Those who do not know what Easterfield’s vehicle technology is will naturally think that the entire Guangdong province has been captured.
However, it was only Qing’s mistake, and Easterfield had never done anything to Guangdong.
Even if they could move on their own, Easterfield didn’t plan to have an inner relationship.
It was at the time when Chung was advancing with a great illusion.
There was a sound of the heavens vibrating from somewhere.
Whoops… … .
As soon as the horse felt the vibration, it raised its front paw.
Hee hee hee!
“Wow, whoa, whoa!”
“Damn it, where is that noise?!”
Just then, something huge started falling over their heads.
It was the high explosives of Easterfield artillery.
Aww!
“Ahhh!”
“It’s a cannon! Everyone get out of here quickly!”
The cavalry led the way, followed by the infantry.
But the cavalry continued to drop bombs, and shells fell over the infantry’s heads.
Kwagwagwagwang!
As the soldiers died helplessly in front of their comrades, they were literally confused and confused.
“Ear, it’s a ghost! A demon will catch and kill people!”
“Calm down! There are no ghosts in this world! Those who leave the ranks will destroy the old tribe!”
The sense of fear created by a sea of fire from shells is hard to overcome with a human mind.
Blood, dirt, and the black four marks created by the cannonballs were mixed together, and a hell of a hell was unfolding.
As the infantry panicked, in the distance the trembling of the crust was heard again.
But this time something was a little different.
Lily Lilirik… … .
The vibrations that the caterpillar device made as it rotated were rushing towards the Qing army.
An overwhelming scene with hundreds of tanks rushing in.
“Hey, what is that?”
“Is this just a walking castle?!”
Even the soldiers of Qing Dynasty have ears and live by hearing rumors.
They must have heard rumors about Easterfield’s tank, and even gave him a nickname.
Nevertheless, it was purely because of orders that 500,000 troops came all the way to this place.
How many people would be able to advance to this place even after hearing that there is a walking castle?
The Cheolongseong they spoke of did not fire a single cannon, but rushed forward and destroyed the cavalry.
Puck puck peck!
“Okay… … !”
A person and a horse that were laid down on a caterpillar device and turned into a thin cannon.
Words could not describe the horror of the Qing soldiers who witnessed the horrors of such a battlefield.
The soldiers who had hardened on the spot disappeared like autumn leaves.
“Hey, run away! After running away from them, we regroup and advance!”
To them, the moving speed of the tank did not seem to be very fast, and they did not know that it was a machine, so they thought that one day they would get tired and unable to keep up.
Their thoughts coincidentally coincided, and the tanks no longer pursued the cavalry.
One by one, as many as 30,000 infantrymen disappeared in the dew of the battlefield.
You might think that the loss of 500,000 to 30,000 is not such a big loss, but the problem was that the psychological damage was too great.
If you take a hit from your mental strength, it will be difficult to win a war.
In other words, the victory or defeat of the war has already been tilted.
***
Britain’s victory was announced.
Lee Hwan felt a little ecstasy along with relief that the war had gone according to his scheme.
“Then what will the war be like now?”
“I wonder if there will be an armistice agreement.”
“It is a wise choice.”
Neither Britain nor Russia want any more war.
In this war, Russia fully demonstrated its strength, and Britain also defended its pride by covering everything with infantry instead of losing its naval supremacy.
Now, Russia and Britain had painted each other gold, and the cause of the war was slowly losing its power.
If there was only one problem, what they would get after the war was that.
“By the way, if we were to make an agreement, what should we have?”
“How about giving them a common prey?”
“Prey?”
“Currently, the Italian peninsula is in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period. In fact, integration is difficult because there is a civic movement and the resistance is on the rise.”
Italy, which was ruled by the Holy Roman Empire and then torn apart by the Napoleonic Wars, was being targeted by Austria’s ambition for unification.
Perhaps even if Russia or Britain were greedy, it was said that integration would be absolutely impossible.
Nevertheless, there was another reason why Italy was in the spotlight.
“Are you going to do the torture of hope?”
“Yes, my lord. That’s it.”
“… … They are cruel people. I never knew today how wicked you are.”
“Isn’t this all thanks to the strategy I learned from you?”
It is in the political arena where people are praised for being wicked.
All of Yi Hwan’s servants were wicked and tenacious, and cruelty was unparalleled.
“It would be the first to throw the bait for Britain and Russia to join hands and try to take over Italy.”
“Yes, it is. For that we need the cooperation of the Netherlands and Austria.”
“You’ll need a smoke screen for this as well.”
At the same time, a very good event was taking place to set the smoke screen.
It was the over-the-counter war between Qing and Easterfield.
“Let’s paint a picture of us taking over Asia and bringing the Netherlands and Austria there.”
