손자병법에 나타난 정보의 중요성에 근거한 이순신의 정보戰 수행에 대한 연구

Abstract

Until now, most of the research on Admiral Lee has been centered on his military genius and leadership. Here, unlike these previous studies, how the Art of War teaches the importance of information, and how Admiral Lee was able to perform information warfares and succeed in succession based on this principle. In fact, accurate information serves as the eyes and ears of individuals or organizations, and a nation or military without information is bound to be defeated. When Japan invaded Chosun in April 1592, Chosun was extremely poorly prepared for war at the national level, and in particular, there was no information about the enemy. This was the result of the capital being occupied 20 days after the Japanese army landed in Busan. In addition, Japan spied on us in preparation for the invasion, but there was no information about the Chosun Naval Forces, especially Admiral Lee. Therefore, Japan's first plan, the ambition to conquer the continent through the amphibious strategy, also failed. The Art of War, written 2500 years ago, is the best military tactics book in human history, regardless of East and West. It has been adopted as a compulsory subject at the U.S. Military Academy, and in modern times, the lessons are applied not only in the military field, but also in various fields such as politics, management, and sports. As such, leaders in various fields are gaining great success by being inspired by this book and using it as a strategy and tactic. This book was a must-read book in China's "Cao Cao" and "Mao Zedong", the famous Vietnamese General who defeated France and the United States "Vo Nguyen Giap", "Napoleon" and "Bill Gates". Of course, for Admiral Lee as well, The Art of War was a must-read, and the evidence is well shown in numerous cases of naval battles he commanded, his diary,“Nanjung Diary,” and the official war report“Imjin Jangcho.” This book is particularly important for the importance of information. Based on the importance of the information presented in this book, Admiral Lee was able to save the country by performing information warfares and winning every fight against the Japanese enemy. Currently, Korea is also facing various complex problems such as North Korea's nuclear issue, covid 19 virus, class conflict, and environmental pollution, in addition to the peculiarity of its geopolitical location surrounded by powers such as the US, Japan, China, and Russia. Therefore, we must study and benchmark Admiral Lee's information-oriented leadership more deeply to gain the wisdom to wisely solve the various challenges facing our country and society.
