Episode 736: Dagger (6)
In Shinji, Hyang was busy making various ns for Europe and resolving various requests from the headquarters.
“This is not what I thought…”
Hyang was in tears as she looked at the reports and approval documents that showed no signs of shrinking.
The initial n was like this.
– Tae Sang-tae If King Sejong’s personality is anything to go by, more than 10 years would have been enough toy the foundation.
-Then, I just have to go to Shinji, upgrade appropriately, and do what I want to do.
-variable? It’s enough to resolve variables through improvisation.
-Talent supply and demand problem? Aren’t there indigenous people? As King Sejong showed, a quick solution is possible by mobilizing the Hunminjeongeum, various carrots, and appropriate sticks.
-conclusion. If you struggle a little in the beginning, you’ll be fine from next time on!
This was not just a delusion of incense.
ording to the report sent by King Sejong from Shinji, King Sejong had clearlyid the foundation.
Not only King Sejong’s report, but also many other records – requests for supplies, requests for troop support, etc. – guaranteed that the foundation had been clearlyid.
Therefore, the township was confident of the sess of the n because it had selected arge number of personnel needed for a smooth upgrade – especially the navy.
But when I came to Shinji, the results I experienced were simple.
-A dream is a dream because it is a dream.
Hyang sighed as he ced his hand on his forehead.
“Whew. I’m the one who forgot what kind ofnd this Shinji was in the first ce and that this is a time when there are noputers…”
Hyang overlooked that Shinji is a continent in size and that everything has to be solved by manpower. It was a mistake.
The n to educate the indigenous people of the new area and use them as human resources was sessful.
The problem was that even if talented people were recruited, it would be difficult to properly manage this vast new area.
In the end, there was only one best solution to solve this problem.
-ept people from Europe.
-However, it is epted only as an individual or unit, not as a national unit.
“And in order to seed, we mustplete the sea defense wall and obtain Gibraltar…”
Hyang, who had settled the situation, ced his hand on his forehead and sighed.
“Huh~. Is
this a return ticket?…” He sighed and felt dejected, but Hyang didn’t just sit there.
“Think about when you can get a limited edition! A fan doesn’t give up! Let’s go!”
The scent was once again burning with fighting spirit as he grabbed hold of the documents and wrestled with them.
* * *
While Hyang was struggling so hard in Xinji, Europe began to be wary of the empire in another ce.
Suez was the ce where Europe began to be wary of the empire.
By taking charge ofying the railway to Suez, the empire acquired the right to build a port where the imperial navy could be stationed through an additional treaty.
ordingly, the imperial navy moved quickly.
Engineers from the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team arrived at the same time as the engineers in charge of the railway construction.

Among the things the empire created, operated, and used, many were evaluated as timeless.
And among those receiving such evaluation were variousws and systems.
Representative policies included women’s management appointments, guaranteed maternity leave, and policies to encourage childbirth, and the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team was one of them.
-Responsible for the construction and maintenance of various buildings and facilities necessary for the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Military Joint Construction Team was created for this purpose.
All buildings and facilities required for ces bearing the name of the Imperial Army, regardless of whether they were the Imperial Army or Navy, were necessarily built by the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team.
Construction and operation, which had been created and operated by central heating, were now managed by one location, which not only increased efficiency but also reduced costs.
What is interesting is that it was Wan, not Hyang, who proposed the creation of the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team.
To be exact, it was the work of the Wanduseul brothers.
Du and Seul hoped to enter the military service and be soldiers guarding the front lines, but due to the characteristics of their status as princes, they had no choice but to take positions in the budget department of the Ministry of National Defense rather than the front lines.
The brothers began to wage a war not with external enemies but with numbers, and soon became experts in budgeting.
And it was Du and Seul who realized the problem of budget waste while investigating therge-scale embezzlement that urred during the First Light War.
To find a permanent solution to this problem, Du and Seul visited Wan, and the three brothers put their heads together to research a solution.
The result was the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team.
-Facility-rted areas are where arge amount of budget is constantly consumed, not only during exhibitions but also during normal times.
-Looking at the current situation, the Army is operated separately as the Army and the Navy as the Navy.
-Of course, this may be unavoidable since the characteristics of the Army and Navy arepletely different. But there are many things inmon.
-However, the problem of not only beingx while operating separately but also wasting budget has been discovered.
-Therefore, a specialized organization is created to construct and manage buildings and facilities for the entire imperial military, including the army and navy.
Wan’s proposal, based on this outline, was immediately epted.
The Imperial Military Joint Construction Team was busy as soon as it was created. Not only was it a collection of talented individuals with extensive experience in architecture and civil engineering in the Army and Navy, but it was also a result of being assigned to the Engineer Corps and possessing both theoretical and practical skills.
As a side note, the ce where the talents most coveted by civilian constructionpanies gathered was the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team.
* * *
The technical staff of the Imperial Military Joint Construction Team that arrived in Suez moved diligently.
Engineers who scanned the Gulf of Suez found a suitable location that had a source of drinking water nearby and was neither too far nor too close to the existing port.
“I want to build a military port here. Is that okay?”
Representatives of the alliance, who confirmed the location at the request of Geuk officials, held a separate meeting.
“How do you feel?”
“I think it’s okay.”
“I agree.”
The alliance representatives who reached a consensus immediately epted it, and the Imperial Joint Construction Team brought in engineers and began construction right away.
Representatives of the alliance, who saw the arrival of manpower to build a military port, asked imperial officials.
“How long will construction take?”
“I’m expecting it to be two years.”
“2 years?”
In response to the answer ‘2 years’, the alliance representatives all showed an expression of uncertainty.
Later, the representatives of the alliance met among themselves and discussed the topic of this construction period.
“Two years? What on earth are you making?”
“The time period is too long to see it as simply building a port, and it is too short to see it as building a military facility.”
“I agree.”
It was a construction period that was iprehensible to themon sense of the alliance representatives.
Two years was too short a period to build a sizable garrison with proper defense facilities, rather than a simple temporary garrison.
“I have no idea what kind of building they are trying to build…”
“I agree.”
* * *
As members of the construction team began construction in earnest, the alliance representatives were able to resolve their questions.
“Cementum could be used like that.”
“It’s abination of cementum and iron bars… interesting.”
“It’s really interesting to think of making bricks out of cementum…” The
alliance’s representatives looked like they were amused by the sight of the imperialists usingrge quantities of mortar and steel bars to raise buildings and walls.
However, as the fortress defending the military port gradually took shape, the expressions of the militarymanders of the same name began to change unusually.
“It looks trickier than the damned triple walls of Constantinople…”
At the words of the Ottoman militarymander, the alliedmanders around him looked at him with surprised faces.
“Have you ever seen the triple walls of Constantinople?”
To the question of the Portuguese militarymander, the Ottoman militarymander answered with an indifferent expression.
“I tried to climb over that wall and barely survived.”
“Ah…”
The militarymanders of Portugal and Florence, France looked back at the Ottoman militarymander with meaningful eyes.
In order to focus on the war over Suez, the Ottomans had signed a truce with the Eastern Roman Empire.
However, it was an open secret that the Ottomans were once again targeting the Eastern Roman Empire now that they had taken possession of Suez.
‘The people who are still struggling to get over that triple wall are the Ottomans, and they are more difficult than the triple wall?’
The alliedmanders, who had been pondering the words of the Ottoman militarymander, once again meticulously observed the wall in question.
The alliedmanders, who observed the walls whenever they had time and studied strategies for attacking them, soon came to understand what the Ottomanmander had said.
The alliedmanders, who were ring at the floor n of the ROK military fortress sketched through previous observations, swore.
“Damn it…”
“I agree.”
While the Portuguese and Florentinemanders were grumbling, the Frenchmander expressed his sentiments poetically.
“It is a wall that properly embodies the malice to kill the enemy. No, it should be seen as the sum of malice (summa me voluntatis).”
Allmanders present nodded at the Frenchmander’s words.
“What do you think is the best means to attack that castle wall?”
In response to the Frenchmander’s question, the Florentinemander smiled and answered.
“It seems easier to make my concubines get along than to attack that castle wall.”
“Foot!”
“Phew!”
There was a lightugh at the unexpected joke, but themanders’ faces immediately became serious.
Even though it was a joke, it meant that it seemed impossible.
The Florentine militarymander continued.
“If you look at the shape of the castle wall, it is the optimal arrangement for spreading crossfire. And if you look at the arrangement of the moat and mound, it will be difficult to push arge number of troops at once. The bottom line is that the attacker will only waste troops by pouring in one after another and wasting away one after another. ”
“What if we fire?”
“If the walls are that thick, even a decent cannon won’t make a scratch on them.”
“Is there a cannon that can hit that castle wall within range? Mounds and moats are blocking the way to get close, and if you get too far, the sea is right there…” “
The power of the cannons carried on battleships is not zero…”
“Phew.” ~.”
Themanders who were studying strategy all sighed.
But deep down, I was thinking the same thing.
‘I guess I’ll have to send the report back home. If you reinforce the castle in that format, it will be the best means of defense.’
It was the butterfly effect of scent.
In the history before the intervention of the city, the fortresses that had appeared gradually starting with the Italian War in 1494 quickly appeared over the next 30 years.
If it had been up to this point, the empire would not have been a target of European caution.
However, the alliedmanders stationed in Suez had extensivebat experience.
They soon realized an even more frightening truth.
“Wait… I’m sure the Imperials don’t know that we are observing them. But they showed it openly? That means they have a way to break down or attack that wall!”
