Doo doo doo doo doo doo.
transverse transverse transverse.
The helicopter’s high-speed rotor, which had landed in the courtyard of the Blue House, slowed down and stopped.
Ji-hoon got off the helicopter following Se-young and looked outside the Blue House.
There were no people when I first went out under the control of the military, but there was a different silence in the city center.
A stillness where everything that breathes has disappeared, not the stillness that gives peace.
It wasn’t just around Jongno.
The whole downtown area that passed the Hannam Bridge was similar to this.
Even after the people left, the riots and clamors of the mobs in various places gradually became distant and faint.
Just like the eul-like feeling of an abandoned city.
Se-young, who had cut off almost all bridges connecting the Han River, saw people rushing to escape from Gangbuk and told him to turn the helicopter to Gangnam.
Jihoon thought that Tak Se-young did too much.
Even though half of the city had already been cut, it was because he was determined not to leave Gangnam over the Han River.
But Jihoon couldn’t even open his mouth, let alone question it.
Because I couldn’t even dream of rebelling unless I had two lives.
Aren’t you the only one who sees blood after being caught up in a sense of justice for nothing?
If the neck was blown away, it was nothing but death of a dog.
When the helicopter crossed the Han River, Se-young didn’t even have to try anything.
Fear and fear spread like wildfire in the Gangnam area, which was not directly affected by riots, crimes, and the chaos of citizens leaving Gangbuk due to the collapse of security.
Although no chaos occurred in Gangnam due to the lack of security or the actions of Se-young, who drove the fear of falling into isolation by breaking the bridge, the deteriorating circumstances reported through the news brought an extreme sense of crisis to the people of Gangnam.
After that, Jihoon was able to witness the procession of people leaving Seoul everywhere in the Seoul area wherever the helicopter was driven.
The Blue House, which was vacant during the day, did not miss the opportunity that Se-young left, and the rest of the people who had not been able to evacuate had all left.
Now there was really no one in the Blue House.
There were only Se-young and Ji-hoon.
“Ambassador Grant said that Tak Se-young had already returned to her home country under emergency measures when she carried out the terrorist attack in downtown Seoul yesterday.”
“what?”
Now, the expression of President Jang Yong-hoo, who was waiting for Je-je-na to be contacted, was distorted.
“Damn it! You mean you flew to the new America?”
“Damn it! The decision to sell weapons and get rid of them while eating them is an asshole!”
Not only the United States, but also the ambassadors of each country had already returned home early because the presidential residence was occupied and terrorism was being carried out out of control in the capital.
But not to mention the Blue House, political parties and military stars were forced to grind their teeth in a sense of betrayal.
Unlike other countries, the United States is Korea’s closest ally, has a military alliance, and has its own military base in the capital.
It’s not that they can’t understand the concerns about safety, but if they judged that the situation is more dangerous and that they can receive the protection of their military, it is not too late to evacuate at that time.
“The capital of the ally is in such a crisis, the ambassador wants to live alone!”
The Capital Defense Command and the Ground Operations Command were urgently returned and dispatched, but despite this, the Special Warfare Command was not confident in its firepower against Tak Se-young.
For some reason, the politicians of the ruling and opposition parties provoked an uproar to assemble the division forces and attack Tak Se-young, regardless of the front and rear.
Almost all the citizens to evacuate were evacuated, so there were people who said that sacrifice was inevitable and that they would bombard Seoul.
The former was bullshit who did not even know the basic concept of border defense, and the latter was ignorance itself, not thinking about the latter.
Without a second thought, the most realistic idea was to support the US Forces Korea.
The military was stationed in the capital, there was an air force in Songtan, and there was a vague belief that some kind of countermeasure would come out because the firepower was so superior that it was ridiculous to compare it to the South Korean army.
However, the government and opposition politicians were puzzled as US Ambassador John Grant, who was the first to deliver this message, returned to his home country.
“Let’s ask the White House for help on the hotline.”
“Wonderful!”
Not being able to respond to someone’s voice, everyone shut their mouths, or some members of the same party coughed and gave a gesture to shut their mouths.
The White House Hotline is a direct conversation between presidents.
It was not at the level of a national crisis at war, and the capital was in chaos, but it was too bad to ask the president through the hotline to ask the president of the United States for help because it could not stop a terrorist attack.
Shin Chang-seok said to Jang Yong-hoo with a dagger as if he didn’t waste time to think about anything complicated.
“Anyway, the request for assistance would be directed to USFK! I will contact you directly!”
“Are you referring to Commander Chester Aurelly?”
“Yes!”
The president jumped up.
“No. General Shin.”
“I’ll call you myself.”
“Yes?”
Shin Chang-seok was taken aback by Jang Yong-hoo’s words.
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed that the president would ask for help directly.
But the Blue House chiefs welcomed the president’s decision.
“That’s a good decision.”
“If the President directly requests it, Commander Aurelli will have no choice but to move the army.”
Representatives of the ruling and opposition parties also expressed their voices of encouragement.
“As expected, you are the President. You have made a great decision!”
“In return for support, start by saying that you will do whatever it takes to not only the US government, but also the USFK side!”
“Psychokinesis?”
“Is it right that I fall into that category?”
“The range. The power. The level is different.”
Surprise and shock and elasticity intersect in the Pentagon’s confidential meeting room.
[Tak Se-young] The matter was transferred from the CIA to the Pentagon.
When Tak Se-young, who has emerged as a global hot topic, has reached the point where each organization is competing with each other by showing off each other’s domain and superior capabilities, the US President directs traffic control.
“There’s no answer to that.”
In the video, the two-handed sword flew freely in the air and intercepted the missile.
The speed at which the missile catches up.
The power that pierces through the explosion.
The trivial question of whether there is a limit to the distance to the self-moving sword that is beyond human common sense has long since been erased from my mind.
Even the high-speed rotation in front of the helicopter, showing precise movements and blocking thousands of machine gun guns, was a wonder itself.
“Is there any way in our military?”
“How do you stop that?”
“If I ask the DARPA guys, won’t they get an answer?”
“Well, they do make a lot of weird stuff.”
“Even if it’s a failure, it’s disposable, but it’s not possible to commercialize it, but there’s a lot of good stuff in the neighborhood.”
“Would you like to try it?”
“Is the CIA going to make a fuss? It sounds like they’ve done some trickery. You said the government made a deal to grant any favor in return for protecting his kin?”
“Who are you? Paul?”
“Then who will it be?”
“I did one thing. It’s only been about four or four days since the existence was revealed? But, the contact has already resulted in such a result.”
“Isn’t the dividend too small for a good card?”
At Homeland Security’s Jim’s words, State Department Eddie frowned.
“Perhaps everyone here thinks so.”
The others nodded as they exchanged words.
“His kin is a US citizen and we have it. Do you think he could ask for more?”
“If you accept me as a citizen of the United States, I don’t need any demands.”
“It requires a cautious approach.”
U.S. Unified Command Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Hinckle expressed a negative opinion.
“It is necessary to consider his dangerous and unsafe factors. He is still a teenager. Brutal violence. Unpredictable range of action. Controls that military firepower cannot respond to, etc.”
“Ugh.”
“Oriental superpowers took over the presidential residences of their countries by force. They threatened and terrorized the citizens, leading to the Exodus crisis. Imagine that it was not Korea, but our United States and Washington.”
“Colonel Hinckle, although Korea is a military powerhouse, it is too much of a leap to compare with us…”
“What if, by our decision, the same thing happened to me when he set foot on the mainland?”
Then, a military officer knocked in and came in.
“I just asked the Pentagon’s opinion on what to do, as Commander Chester O’Reilly received a request for assistance directly from the President of the Korean government.”
As soon as the officer saluted as if it was an urgent matter, he couldn’t breathe and exhaled.
However, most of the people with different affiliations did not show any particular expression.
On the contrary, Eddie of the State Department and Lt. Col. Hinkle of the Unified Command were even annoyed.
“The president of the Republic of Korea made a request directly to Commander O’Reilly?”
“You must have been in a hurry.”
“If it’s the video you just checked, it’s okay.”
“Did you not contact the White House?”
“I reported it, but I was told to wait for an answer, so I’m waiting.”
Jim grinned at the officer’s words.
Eddie shook his head.
“Anyway, if you don’t want to take responsibility, that’s the sound of waiting!”
It means to do it at your own discretion under the sound of waiting at the White House for a while.
It has two meanings behind it.
‘You are responsible for the decision’
‘The White House has nothing to do with that decision.’
The executives from the major institutions that control the United States exchanged glances and shrugged their shoulders as if they had made a promise.
Then I turned to the officer waiting for an answer.
The officer looked at him without saying a word, and the officer put on a bewildered expression.
Lieutenant Colonel Hinckle said inwardly, “inflexible.”
“You just have to tell Commander O’Reilly that this is the Pentagon’s answer.”
“Yes, old?”
The officer couldn’t hide his bewildered expression to the point that he stuttered and asked.
Either way, the characters in the room had nothing to say about him from the beginning.
If the White House does not intervene, neither will the will of the Pentagon nor other agencies.
It’s easy to say that a grown-up won’t intervene is the same as saying, “Don’t meddle with you either.”
Life was like that.
Commander Chester O’Reilly, USFK commander, laughed at the brief reply that the answer to the mainland question was equally agonized by both the White House and the Pentagon.
“Anyway, these are political bastards~!”
It wasn’t that Aurelie was embarrassed, though.
I was just thinking about how to do it.
A few days ago, a person from the CIA who returned from an informal entry into the country did not have to worry about it because he fully shared his country’s position in preparation for this kind of situation.
He gave instructions directly to his assistants.
“Everyone withdrew with songtan.”
“Are you moving all the stuff?”
Aurelie shook her head.
“It would be okay to say that there was some kind of agreement with Tak Se-young.
“all right.”
“General, when do you plan to present the discourse?”
“As soon as the full text is written, I will publish it.”
“There are similar samples, so I don’t have anything to write about.”
“Yeah? Then do it right away.”
“Would you like to directly connect the one waiting for the President of Korea to contact you?”
“No, we’ll see the presentation anyway, so leave it alone. It’ll be better without hurting each other for nothing.”
“Yes, General.”
-Our mission and mission is to defend South Korea’s freedom and democracy, and to deter North Korean aggression and provocations together with South Korea, our eternal ally, and to protect the Korean people from war.
<Director of the USFK Public Affairs Office> The briefing of the US military continued through the air under the Iranian subtitles.
-It is very regrettable that due to personal revenge, the Korean government faced an unfortunate situation and the safety of Seoul citizens was threatened, resulting in a considerable number of casualties. However, this is not a situation of provocation by an enemy’s aggression, nor a crisis situation that corresponds to deterrence of war. This is the position of our military.
The president, government, and politicians watching TV trembled with anger, shame, and humiliation.
Even though the president of the ally’s allies directly asked for help, blood gushed out at the behavior of the US Forces Korea, which unilaterally gave a briefing close to a statement to the public while ignoring the answer.
– However, I have no doubts and hope that the decision of our military will serve as an opportunity to further solidify the friendship between the United States and Korea. The basic framework of the ROK-U.S. alliance is the eternal partnership promised based on trust. … TV screen turned off.
Min Hyung-taek, the chief of political affairs, pressed the remote control to see if he could leave it alone.
But no one blamed him for his rude behavior.
Now the situation will only get worse.
There are good reasons why the military cannot move freely, but in a situation where the capital of a country is out of control, the government’s response was to request assistance from the US Forces Korea, and the refusal to do so was clearly revealed during the briefing process.
Public rebuke and criticism will continue, and Tak Se-young may be more rampant.
The door to the conference room shattered open amidst a gloomy atmosphere.
“Wow, it’s a big deal!”
The one who broke in said with a pale face.
“It is said that Tak Se-young is now crossing the Han River and is destroying the defense lines of Subangsa and Jijaksa along the Olympic Boulevard!”
All of their faces turned black.
“Everyone seems to have to evacuate to the rear of the metropolitan area!”
“I can’t go back.”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to Jang Yong-hoo.
Although he had a haggard face as if he had been ten years older, Jang Yong-hoo had a stubborn energy oozing out of his skinny face as if he had made a decision.
“I will meet Tak Se-young in person.”
