It's the political forces under the old system that are causing this trouble.

The morale of the Longshan military headquarters calmed down as Li Xinghe remained composed.

Li Xinghe quickly organized a nationwide broadcast:

"Citizens of the Republic of Korea, I am Lee Sung-ha."

"Unfortunately, just as I was trying to form a G7 alliance to create a deep and large market that could provide us with more room for development, South Korean civil servants seemed to think it was time for a joint uprising with the Democratic Party to overthrow the G7 alliance. As I said, they still want to return to the peace under the Western system. Even though people like Vance have emerged in the United States, they still fantasize about the existence of a so-called 'democratic and just' Western world."

"For these out-of-touch, fantasy-filled old folks, in the new world they are like grasshoppers in autumn. If I stomp my foot, they will immediately start an armed rebellion, trying to create a predetermined coup, a nationwide riot, thinking that this will scare me, the South Korean army and the people."

After pausing for a moment, Li Xinghe said directly:

"I hereby declare the G7 summit adjourned for ten days, during which time martial law will be declared nationwide. South Korean troops will enter into riot control operations. Over."

The brief statement represented a massive loss of life.

The South Korean military headquarters immediately began deploying personnel for combat.

But at that moment, Olympia, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly reminded Li Xinghe:

"Xinghe, if I may be so blunt, there's one thing you haven't done: you haven't given an explanation to the people who support you. If your opponents claim to be defenders of democracy, while your supporters are generally large South Korean corporations, upper-class elites, military personnel, Buddhists, traditionalists, industrial workers, importers and exporters, and 'genetically Chinese' individuals who face some exclusion in mainstream society, how are you going to demonstrate the uniqueness of your regime? How are you going to convince them that your existing democracy will allow them to continue to maintain their interests without being overthrown? To put it more specifically, how are you going to appease your military officers and business owners?"

Li Xinghe suddenly woke up.

Clearly, this is the most crucial issue.

In the turmoil of this new situation, someone has to lose power, leave South Korea, and leave their homeland. The losers must leave.

South Korea has an enormous population. With 100,000 square kilometers of land, two-thirds of which is mountainous, only 20 million mu (approximately 1.3 million hectares) of arable land remain. Meanwhile, people and food continue to compete for the scarce plains. This topographical configuration is similar to Zhejiang Province, but while Zhejiang has the support of other provinces, South Korea often imports grain from Shandong while secretly altering the production locations, deceiving itself.

There must always be someone who achieves a complete victory, divides the spoils of victory, seizes the benefits, and consolidates them.

Li Xinghe immediately said:

"Zhao Guhuan, go to the National Assembly of South Korea and write a proposal."

Zhao Juhuan immediately perked up:

"Write what?"

This was probably a rhetorical question. Judging from the expressions of the generals around him, even they knew that what Li Xinghe had to do right now was to immediately reform the national system.

Li Xinghe's order was naturally given with absolute certainty:

"The proposal is to change the Republic of Korea from a presidential system to a constitutional monarchy, or a democratic system under a monarchy. It is necessary to restore traditional culture, teach the correct East Asian history, revise textbooks, and promote Chinese character education in depth. From the constitutional, institutional, cultural, and educational levels, we should completely negate and defeat these pro-American democrats."

Start reversing.

But Li Xinghe's goal is not to actually become a monarch, but to give his supporters a reasonable promise, to make them believe that Li Xinghe will not be overthrown by the Democratic Party after this year or in some other year, especially by the United States from behind the scenes, which would lead to their persecution.

And it will tear apart everything the opposition believes in: Christianity, their proud democratic system, and their deep-seated pro-Western servility.

The times have changed.

Seeing the gloating NBC report on the table, Li Xinghe's lips twitched indifferently:

"A full-blown civil war in South Korea? No, they're just a bunch of clowns."

Lee Sung-ha turned on the microphone and gave the following order to all South Korean troops:

"Commands General: Do not fear casualties, do not fear firing, do not harbor any illusions. All stationed troops and veterans in the South Korean military, organize yourselves and attack all rebel capitals! Arrest the rebel leaders. If they are caught in the parliament, execute them there; if caught in the toilet, drown them there; if they resist in the Christian church, bomb the church; if they resist in the civic center, blow it up. We do not need mercy. Repeat, we do not need mercy!"

Chapter 912: The Little Prince, Air Force Deployment Target Gwangju (4600 words)

2031 3 Month 15 Day.

When Indonesia was severed by Lee Sung-ha's death, and had already seceded from the Republic of West Papua and the Republic of Lanfang, while the Islamic State of Aceh on Sumatra and the Chinese in Medan were also involved in political turmoil, the outbreak of the March 15 incident in South Korea brought even greater instability to the already fragile global peace.

Seoul.

There weren't many cars on the street, and it resembled a large county town. Billboards were still playing scantily clad girl group dances. On the cold street, amidst the energetic singing and dancing, a very lively unrestricted combat competition between soldiers and civilians was taking place.

The car's loudspeaker blared:

"Citizens, please go home!"

They spoke very elegantly, but the soldiers of the Bukhansan Division beat them with iron rods, kicked them with leather boots, and even drove infantry fighting vehicles to run them over and urge them on.

After the heavy iron bar struck them, the South Koreans instantly snapped out of their daze and lost all will to continue their antics with the Democratic Party of Korea. They could only run away with their heads in their hands.

Park Jin-hee reported to the operations command:

"The Bukhansan Division has completed the mopping-up operation north of the river."

Meanwhile, fighting was also taking place on the south bank of the Han River.

"The archer division has surrounded Yeongdeungpo-dong and is launching a ground offensive!"

Major General Lee Woo-heon was truly unlucky. Originally, the Archer Division was just a shell brigade with three basic units and less than 10% complete. However, during the Seoul Spring Festival last year, the Archer Division undoubtedly failed to defend anything and suffered a swift defeat.

Because the defeat was so swift, no one paid any attention to Major General Li Yuxian. He was reinstated to his original position, and the entire division was greatly expanded and upgraded to a standing division.

This time, the main attacking force was the Gangnam area of ​​Seoul, and he was assigned the first main attacking role according to his position.

Considering the poor skills of his soldiers, Major General Li Yuxian's command can be summarized in one sentence:

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The regiment's 155mm howitzers, along with a total of 30 additional cannons, bombarded the Yeongdeungpo-dong Democratic Party headquarters with bayonets, before the soldiers drove their old Pershing tanks inside.

At this moment, the ground was littered with unclaimed corpses, broken limbs piled up like mountains, and blood and internal organs flowed down.

The Christian militia, who knew nothing about warfare, could not comprehend the devastating damage caused by close-range bombardment from 155mm howitzers. Their bodies were destroyed along with the barricades, and many corpses were left hanging on the walls with their heads rolling on the ground.

The soldiers stormed in to finish things up, using large iron rods to punish every Christian and nationalist who opposed Li Xinghe, making them "wake up" to why they were so foolish as to oppose Li Xinghe.

As for the white banners with slogans like "Long Live the Republic of Korea," "Death to the Tyrant," and "Forever Protect the Best Democratic Korea," the soldiers tore them down and threw them into the campfire.

The women at the scene were all held in solitary confinement to prevent the horrific tragedy of gang rape of prisoners. Given the discipline of the South Korean army, they were absolutely capable of doing it. At this point, it was crucial to ensure the soldiers obeyed orders and did not run rampant.

The real mission is to catch the mastermind behind it all.

The soldiers compared the three men's photos with the prisoners' images and returned with a regretful report:

"They've fled. The three rebel leaders, Chen Shengzhun, Jin Bingji, and Jin Minxi, have all disappeared without a trace."

"Ran?"

Major General Li Yuxian is in great pain. This time, he caught nothing and held nothing. He wasn't awarded anything, but his name was mentioned in the criticism.

He could only report to his superiors.

Along with its report, the true whereabouts of the three people captured by the Counterintelligence Command also arrived at the Longshan Base command headquarters:

"Report: The three rebels fled to Gwangmyeong City, southwest of Seoul, this afternoon, and have established the Gyeonggi Province rebel center there."

Gwangmyeong City is located not far southwest of Seoul, in the middle of Incheon, Bucheon, and Gwacheon. Destroying their command center would not be difficult.

More naval intelligence has arrived:

"Report! Former Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-baek has defected to the rebel camp and has arrived in Mokpo City, attempting to persuade the naval base there to switch sides. However, he has been met with fierce resistance from loyal soldiers. It is said that Ahn Gyu-baek has fled into the mountains and his whereabouts are unknown."

Fortunately, Anguiber was a civil servant, so it didn't matter much to him.

Li Xinghe pointed to Li Jingmin, the commander of the anti-espionage forces:

"No good news?"

"Have."

All the commanders of the South Korean army gathered at Yongsan Fortress in Seoul to express their loyalty and respect to South Korea's new masters.

The command post doors opened, and a large group of generals in solemn military uniforms walked in.

"New Minister of National Defense Kim Byung-joo and Vice Minister of National Defense Ri Doo-hee salute you!"

Kim Byung-joo is a retired general. He was actually affiliated with the Democratic Party, like Ahn Gyu-baek. However, because of his military background, he naturally returned after the split. Lee Doo-hee, on the other hand, was a product of political infighting. Although he held a high rank in the military, he didn't wield much power.

The two men stepped forward and saluted Li Xinghe.

"loyalty!"

Next came the four chiefs of staff.

Li Yingxiu, accompanied by four chiefs of staff, stepped forward and stood before Li Xinghe:

"Currently, the Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Headquarters is Li Yingxiu, the Deputy Chief is Zheng Zhenba, the Chief of Staff of the Army is Zhou Shengyun, the Chief of Staff of the Navy is Zhou Yixi, and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force is Chen Chengyun."

Besides them, there were also generals and lieutenant generals from units such as the Education Command, the Logistics Command, and the Sergeant School, who held high ranks but low operational authority, as well as ministers under the Ministry of National Defense, the Operations Department, Intelligence Department, and Support Department of the Joint Staff Headquarters, and the Education Commanders of the Army and Navy, etc., who stood out in a row.

"salute!"

"loyalty!"

This is the first row and a half.

The third group to step forward consisted of the actual commanders of various combat units.

Su Yumin led a group of commanders, who lined up in the second and third rows:

"Major General Kim Kwan-soo, Commander of Army Mobilization; Lieutenant General Kim Gyu-ha, Commander of Army Missile Strategy; Lieutenant General Kang Yoon-seok, Commander of Army Aviation; Lieutenant General Su Woo-min, Commander of Army Special Forces Airlift Unit; Hwang Sun-woo, Commander of Naval Operations; Kim Hyung-soo, Commander of Air Force Operations; Lieutenant General Kim Ho-bok, Commander of the Capital Defense Corps; Lieutenant General Park Jong-jin, Commander of the 1st Corps; Major General Park Ho-sung, Commander of the 2nd Corps; Lieutenant General Seo Jin-ha, Commander of the 3rd Corps; Lieutenant General Kim Sung-min, Commander of the 5th Corps Operations; Lieutenant General Park Jae-yeol, Commander of the 7th Mobile Corps; and all other command commanders, corps commanders, and division commanders. That's all! Salute!"

The generals spread their legs and raised their hands in salute:

"loyalty!"

Facing the three rows of officers saluting him, Li Xinghe smiled and said:

"The country is now in a period of intense transformation. We must acknowledge that it seems that politicians from the democratic faction and a large number of civil servants still do not want South Korea to become independent and autonomous. So they want to split the country and divide South Korea into two halves."

They support the Democratic Party in the west and Li Xinghe in the east.

As for future political arrangements, Li Xinghe pointed to Zhao Lieshu sitting to his left and said with absolute confidence:

"Let me be frank with you. After this war ends, South Korea will hold a large-scale election. In the new National Assembly, South Korea will enter a preparatory period for a constitutional monarchy. I myself will not interfere, of course. However, Yeol-sook is pregnant. I will leave this boy in Seoul. Do you understand?"

Zhao Lieshu's expression froze, and she quickly forced a smile.

Lee Sung-ha himself wouldn't directly don the Korean crown; that would be a constraint for him. However, leaving the unborn boy in Seoul for a long period of preparation for a constitutional monarchy would help reduce political instability during the painful transition of South Korea. Once the preparation period is over, whether or not he declares himself king is entirely up to Lee Sung-ha.

Naturally, Li Xinghe was also reassuring his supporters that there would be no more dramatic political upheaval, nor would his retirement benefits and pensions be cut. The current officers would continue to enjoy the political reforms brought about by Li Xinghe.

"Yes!"

The generals saluted Li Xinghe, but bowed deeply to Zhao Lieshu's belly at a 90-degree angle.

Thankfully, I didn't kneel down.

After they went out to assign combat tasks, the girls in the family went crazy.

Li Daiyao hurriedly grabbed Li Xinghe:

"We don't have a boy in our family. He's not even born yet, are you crazy?"

Li Xinghe pouted and shrugged:

"We can only have one child now. Sister Dai Yao, wife Lie Shu, and our silly little sister Ju Yan. I refuse to believe that the three of us can't produce a son!"

Anyway, they don't usually hang around Seoul often, so the media doesn't know whether Cho Yeol-sook is pregnant or not. As long as she can give birth to a boy before next year, or even the year after, that's fine.

Li Daiyao and Zhao Lieshu could only sigh in despair, holding their foreheads.

"Ju Yan, go buy the Pregnancy Aid device."

"I?"

Li Juyan pointed at her little nose blankly, not even knowing where the convenience store was at the Longshan base.

……

Operations command post.

The generals, having received clear political arrangements from Li Xinghe, were full of confidence.

Chief of Staff Li Yingxiu, who was short in stature, pointed to the map and said:

"We must first rescue Gyeryongdae and restore the national command system. The 32nd Baekryong Division is currently trapped in Daejeon, and Division Commander Kim Ji-yeon is gathering troops to retreat to the Gyeryongdae headquarters."

The article begins with the first strike of the army in Gyeryong City, Chungcheongnam-do.

Because the headquarters of the South Korean armed forces is located in Gyeryong City, southwest of Sejong Special City and Daejeon Metropolitan City, the South Korean armed forces usually call their headquarters Gyeryongdae.

Just like the headquarters of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Allied Forces, which is called Yasukuni-dai.

Therefore, the first batch of mechanized combat units to receive orders and be required to deploy immediately included the 13th Air Transport Brigade, located in Jeongpyeong County, northeast of Cheongju City, Chungcheongbuk-do.
