Chapter 419: Captain Vasili

July 15th, 1935. The atmosphere in the cargo hold of the Bogatyr was tense. The Special Forces team who had conducted operations on the Belgian Congo were on their way to the air base in Dakar. Captain Vasili, their leader, stood apart from the rest, his eyes fixed on a small family picture in his hand. It depicted his wife holding their daughter, with a woman standing next to her - Gang Eun-Ae, the noblewoman who was once commander-in-chief of the righteous army in the Choson Empire.

Vasili couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he looked at the woman who had once led an army into battle. Now, she worked as an advisor to the king in military affairs, despite the controversy surrounding her position as a woman. But Vasili knew that if their country was to catch up with the western powers and prevent any attempts of invasion of their homeland, they needed to be radical and progressive, leaving behind traditional values that hold them back.
