The 89th story of a full-length business novel.
Then they thought aloud that:
“As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care her sad history in the past. Actually, it was not my fault for her downfall. As for me, the war records in the books are more valuable information than her history. Yes, the most important thing to me is that the tale is well tailored to our tastes. From this point of view, there are most intriguing and useful comments in the books. One of them is that Japan made herself as a world power by using the peninsula as her foothold.”
In this way, they justified their inhibited mind. And they said that:
“Anyway, the historical accounts clearly say to me that Korea has a good merit to be used for a jumping-off place to go onto the main Asian stage. Already the former militaristic Japan did it as such in the late 19th century. Surely, the very point will be one of the best solutions for us to make a feasible action plan in the Asian campaign. Yeah, we can do it, too in the wake of the former footsteps like Japan did in the past.”
Once again, the upstage world powers translated all of it into their favorable side. Then, they reached out into the conclusion that:
“Seemingly Korea is a small nation. However, its value is beyond the small land. Like the past records, it is clear that Korea has geographically a preponderant advantage. And it will be able to be used as a springboard for me in the future.”
In this way they drew water into their mills. Right here, they looked to be bee wolves that preyed on honey bees even in the Land of Rainbow, Solongus. (Below is a scene that a bee wolf carries a honey bee into his hive. Source: Wikipedia)
As for them, it did not matter. It was and is the reality in the earthly world. Unlike the heaven, the earthly world was and is governed by the ruthless Fist Law. (弱肉强食) According to the Law, they began to plan out a recklessly imaginative mapping for the future campaign as below:
“Correct, based upon the peninsula we can easily pounce upon the hidden target; Manchuria, China and Russia step by step over time. Then we’ll be able to pave the Asian highway throughout the main Asian continent. Of course, I do believe, China and Russia should be my business frontiers in the farther future.”
Then they imagined much more in depth and concretely that:
“If so, the peninsula should be the first target for the long-term goal. Once we enter the main Asian land it will be a vaulting pole for our great dream. Alright, it looks tempting to wage the Korean campaign.”
Since then on, Korea has become an ‘object choice’ for their lucrative business as if it had been a honey bee for bee wolves. For the goal, they made many options for the feasible action in the future. Then they reviewed all to opt for the enumerated option. The purpose of their detailed review was to figure out which one could be the best to be optimized for their maximum interests. To get the best choice they took broad and deep, complicated steps as below:
First, they perused every segment of the Korean life, custom, prewar level of her national defense, and geographical merits by bag job.
Second, they carried out on-site inspections in the wake of the precedents. Meanwhile, they sharpened swords, developed deadly weapons, prepared highly-speedy chariots beforehand. It took long years. Then, computer simulations were run several times. In this relation, it has been rumored that a computer simulation named, Desert Battle, had been made before the operation of ‘Desert Storm’ in 1990. And, it has been said that the US CENTCOM (Central Command in Tampa, Florida) had executed this simulation under the directive of DOD (Department of Defense) in the United States before Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded into Kuwait. In this way, Computer Simulations were run for the future Korean campaign. (Below is a scene of Computer Simulation in the US Army. Source: www.defenseindustrydaily.com)
After that, sham battles were executed with the weapons and chariots to test the real combat plan. From there, some mistakes were identified. Once again and again, more practical action plans were conceived and concretely complimented in the course of several practices. Then they could come up with the feasible and streamlined scheme. After all, they fixed the scheme as playable like the operation of ‘Desert Storm’ in Kuwait in the past. The scheme included actual maneuvering as a playbook that was to get Korea into their hands. According to the playbook they practiced a full-dress rehearsal. The playbook said that:
“The first mission is to ensure our safety to the maximum extent. Meanwhile we are to deploy our forces ashore via the seaport Inchon. Then we shall delineate the line from the port. Predictably, the action will distinguish our area of operations. Further, it will give us a clear picture of which region is under our control and which isn’t. “
Then the book emphasized that:
“At the point, the mission should be carried out fastidiously as if God were watching us from the sky. And then we will set the fighting order straightly towards Seoul by land and river. Seoul is the capital of Korea. Now it is bare without bars. In light of our deep study on the current Korean situation, its frontier garrison seems to be trivial, ignorable against our forces. There is no problem in passing through the way. We do not have to swerve from our march. Then we’ll be able to wage the Korean campaign easily and directly like bee wolves prey on honey bees.”
Finally, the scheme has been finalized in this way. Presently the scheme has gone on-stream. In length of time, the zero hour has dawned. The world powers have begun maneuvering in accordance with the wild scheme matching Fist Law.
