Chapter 205
< surprise attack >
"what? Contact with the North Korean delegation was lost.?"
President's office. President Andong-gil shook his head upon hearing the news that the New Year's delegation sent to North Korea had lost contact..
"Isn’t it just that communication is blocked? It's not like yesterday or today that your hotline is unstable.."
After China was torn apart, North Korea, which had no one to rely on, gave up its nuclear program and became calm, but its outdated infrastructure remained..
Even these days, when the weather is bad, base stations often explode and communication is cut off, and there aren't many hotlines between North and South Korea in the first place..
This problem is difficult to solve even for the South Korean government, which is aiming for the gradual collapse and integration of North Korea..
This is because North Korea is trying to extend its power in some way by refusing help from anyone other than Hunter..
In the paradise on earth maintained by the grace of the leader Abai, the less we hear about the rebellious cabal of South Korea, the better..
"There are no unsavory movements in North Korea.?"
"yes! All of North Korea is monitored by US military satellites. There isn't much movement."
"Then there is no problem.?"
President Ahn Dong-gil ignored the aides' answers..
"What about the pantheon? When will the Pantheon return? It's right to leave today?"
"Yes, we departed from Dulles Washington Airport tonight. We decided to escort the US Air Force and take over our Air Force aircraft.."
The aide added one thing:.
"The Japanese government proposed joint escort, what would you do??"
"Well... the intention is obvious, but."
Leon decided to join President Ahn Dong-gil for the New Year's official schedule. After Dragonia, the God of Gold and Contracts, was announced, governments and business people around the world were hoping to contact Leon, and President Ahn Dong-gil was very excited..
You will be able to contact Leon, the leader of the pantheon, before anyone else and discuss the Dragonian Contract, which is nothing short of a financial revolution..
'The broadcasting cost for the commission is also hehehe.······.'
Although Pantheon Temple does not officially pay taxes, it appropriately packages the corresponding costs and pays them to the Korean government..
And since the headquarters of the pantheon is Korean, contracts signed all over the world and the 1% commission have no choice but to pass through Korea..
Indeed, an enormous amount of wealth will be passing through Korea, so even just that piece of cake can be used as a personal achievement..
"I guess that's Japan's intention too.?"
"Yes, they are probably confident that they can meet first after Korea. At the very least, they would like to invite Pantheon executives to official business in the new year.."
"Queen Beatrice and Lord Yacht Spinner are practically agents of the Lionheart King. I guess the position is that it’s okay to invite just one of the two.."
It's not just Japan. From nearby Russia and Taiwan, all European countries were anxious to make contact with the pantheon..
The intention was obvious from the fact that strangely high-ranking ministerial officials flocked to the official presidential ceremony for the New Year..
"Hehehehe······."
President Ahn Dong-gil realized the national prestige of the rising number of visitors from all over the world..
When Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk went all-in on the pantheon to die, I thought the old man was crazy, but now I see it was the old man's foresight..
'National prestige on the rise! My achievements are piling up! Very stable!'
What do we do first when Leon and the Pantheon arrive? First, we laid out the red carpet and prepared for the welcome party, so we held a banquet and met the new survivor, Grand Duke Carina..
The most important thing is how the Dragonia contract will be operated in the future..
No matter what you do, if you just do the basics, Korea's economic growth rate will hit its highest in the new year. Is there anything easier than this??
"Tell Minister of National Defense Kim to ensure protocol training! At the welcoming ceremony, I told any ministers who were going back to their hometowns to meet their families that they would be fired by me.!"
"Yeah, yep···!"
However, the next day, President Andong-gil faces the crisis of his life..
* * * *
The work of the Armistice Line, which split the Korean Peninsula in half and divided the nation, has been similar for 80 years..
Both sides have soldiers patrolling the demilitarized zone in front of them..
In the past, there were many incidents of provocations against South Korea, wooden box mines, etc., but as North Korea began to depend on South Korea's hunter contingent, such provocations against South Korea almost disappeared..
At most, the only way to do this is to fire a few cannonballs at the sea level around Yeonpyeong Island. Even in this case, North Korea was paying close attention to the South Korean government and was maintaining a reasonable line..
"Who are you?~"
GOP border post near the ceasefire line. Sergeant Kim, who was about to be discharged after serving in the military for 1 year and 10 months, was filled with emotion as he looked at the clear and clean starry sky..
"You will be discharged soon, but you are insulting me.."
"Haha, tomorrow I will use up all my vacation time and this boring military life will end. Park Ilhoon~ You stay and I go~"
"Oh, kinda···!"
Although peace with North Korea has continued for a long time, the South Korean military still has not let down its guard against the North Korean military..
Anyway, it was the meaning of the existence of the Armed Forces, and there were several provocations against South Korea whenever we were bored..
However, surprisingly, the GOPs at the ceasefire line were calm, because North Korea's main provocation was limited to sea-level shelling that did not cause casualties on the coastline..
In the past, there was a lot of talk about wooden box landmines and other things, but the North Korean military was also paying attention to the South Korean government and was avoiding provocations that would cause casualties as much as possible..
As long as nothing happens, my military life with the elk and wild boar will end smoothly..
-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr···!
Until a strange noise rings out from the quiet ceasefire line. They had no doubt that.
"No, who runs the cultivator in the middle of the night?······."
"Crazy guy, who's driving a tiller in this neighborhood?!"
In response to Sergeant Kim's harsh criticism, Corporal Park turned his gaze toward the source of the noise. and······.
"Ha...fuck."
-Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Dozens of aircraft were entering their truce line..
As the two privates watched the North Korean transport planes approaching from nowhere in the wee hours of the morning, they recalled the fighter pilot who defected from North Korea 50 years ago while leading a MiG plane..
* * * *
Aircraft pilots from North Korea were guided to Suwon Air Force Base by a South Korean fighter squadron that made an emergency sortie..
As dozens of aircraft made a soft landing at the Suwon Combat Airfield, there was an accident where a MiG with damaged landing gear due to aging ended up on the airfield, but it was safely handed over to the National Intelligence Service without anyone dying..
"So, Mr. Lee Sang-hyuk came here with the intention of defecting? Do you all mean the same thing??"
"That's right! This is what I came down to with my comrades in the Naerae Air Force. Please trust me!"
"Ah, yeah yeah···."
North Korean defectors escaping from North Korea is not something new, but this is the first time in the 80-year history of division that such a group has been brought in with an aircraft..
Investigators from the National Intelligence Service intended to thoroughly uncover the truth and decided to separately cross-examine as many as 40 North Korean pilots..
If there is a lie, someone will reveal the loophole..
But they revealed too many loopholes.
"That is, from Sergeant Park Jin of the 5th Corps.──"
"I just heard that it was Ryu Kyung-soo's division. No, are you already changing what you said a few minutes ago??"
"Well, it's not that.···!"
"My house is not far from Pyongyang... No, did Abadi live in Wonsan? No, that... personality? It's not······."
"I came down after receiving a special order. I have come down after receiving a special order that is very important to convey to the comrades of South Korea.──"
"······Jinsu Lee?"
At 1pm on the 28th, three hours after the mass defection of North Korean fighter pilots occurred..
North Korean defector pilots stopped like broken clocks.
40All of the pilots died at once. The sight of everyone stopping between walls was so bizarre to the National Intelligence Service agents watching through the magic mirror..
"What, what? Why is it like that all of a sudden?"
"First of all, tell me to come out inside! something is strange!"
The bomb planted by the 'traitors' was activated without any orders from an executive who instinctively sensed 'danger'..
"Oh, I knew.──"
The pilot's eyeballs exploded in despair..
-Weeing! Weeeeing!!
「Shout out to all agents in the facility! A devil arises inside! A monster appears! Move the awakened suppression unit quickly.!」
2032December 28, 1:00 PM.
A monster appears at the National Intelligence Service building in Naegok-dong. Expanding pollution sources.
* * * *
"Fuck fuck fuck!!"
The presidency is a position where dignity must be maintained. If reporters find out that he is not in his office but running around swearing in the government building, pro-opposition reporters will open fire..
The good news is that this is the Yongsan Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters, a military facility..
Aside from that, the aides thought that there would be no high-ranking Korean official who would not swear at them right now..
There was a sudden large-scale defection of a North Korean transport plane in the early morning..
Although we do not know the details of the situation, it is unlikely that any actual damage was caused, so the Ministry of National Defense considered it to be the largest defection from the North Korean People's Army since the division of North and South Korea..
but······.
"Are you sure? A monster appeared in the investigation room.?"
"Yes, this is a matter directly reported by the Second Deputy Director of the National Intelligence Service. Currently, the awakened unit directly under the National Intelligence Service is suppressing the situation.."
"That's not enough. Invite nearby hunter guilds too! You can't push armored units into downtown Seoul.!"
President Ahn Dong-gil immediately announced a war posture and the president moved to the underground bunker of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters in accordance with wartime protocol..
There were already generals there, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and they jumped up to President Ahn's position..
"Are you here, sir?!"
President Ahn passed the greetings from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a rare wave of his hand and immediately sat down at the head of the table. This is President Ahn's first time here since a black gate occurred in the middle of Seoul about a year ago..
"I only heard about it, but please explain briefly.."
"Yes, 27 minutes ago, all North Korean pilots who defected were killed.."
"At the same time, it is reported that an unidentified monster has occurred inside. I think it may have been aimed at an internal terrorist attack.."
"······."
something is ambiguous.
North Korean aircraft infiltrate under the guise of a mass defection, and the pilots detonate themselves all at once.?
Of course, a provocation of this scale against South Korea was the largest in the 80-year history of the ceasefire. In terms of scale, it far exceeds the Panmunjom ax incident or the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island..
However, the scale of this was too vague to be an attempt at an all-out war..
If only dozens of suicide bombers neutralized the National Intelligence Service building, it would be a loss..
Of course, it is not an issue to be taken lightly as monsters appear, but there were more than 10,000 hunters in Seoul..
"There is a hotline connected to North Korea right now.?"
"The connection has not been possible since contact with the mission was lost.."
The timing was also coincidental. President Ahn started to get confused..
"Are these bastards begging for food??"
"That being said, the scale of this provocation is······."
"No, even as a declaration of war, it is an ambiguous scale. It could be a terrorist attack by internal hardliners.."
It was an ambiguous incident that was too large in scale to be an extension of the provocations against South Korea that have been on the rise for the past 20 years, and too small in scale to be a declaration of war..
"First of all, we have to issue DEFCON 3...?"
This alone is a quasi-war state equivalent to the Panmunjom incident. A war posture that has never been issued since the Battle of Yeonpyeong. However, the situation is not serious enough to issue a lower grade..
Defcon 3 or Watchcon 2? When President Ahn was in agony──
"dismissal! This is an emergency call from the Korean People’s Army! Unidentified submarine shot down Air Force No. 2!"
"······uh?"
Air Force Unit 2.
In other words, it is one of the high-level chartered planes of the Korean government. It was the chartered plane that recently brought the pantheon from the Washington airport in the United States..
"Yes, the pantheon?"
"That, that······."
President Ahn was contorted in astonishment at the assistant's hesitation in answering. The moment he was about to say something──
-thud!
Yongsan Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters underground bunker. Above that, an unusually loud noise rang out..
-Weeing~! Weeing! Weeeeing!
And an emergency sound echoes throughout the building. At the same time, the signal soldiers were relaying emergency information while looking completely pale..
"This monster has been confirmed to have landed at Incheon Port.!"
"A large monster wave occurs near the ceasefire line! The scale is over 100,000! The radar caught it too late.!"
"A mysterious bombing occurred inside Seoul! There are reports that citizens... have been turned into monsters.!
"A similar explosion occurred in Naju City! It is said that a large army of monsters is advancing towards the pantheon.!"
A sudden wave of too much information came rushing in..
Bad news pours in as if some incident was the starting point..
And this wasn't just external unrest..
"Unidentified troops attacked the government building! This is a human! We are humans, not monsters!"
As if they had been waiting, a human unit raided the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters. What this meant was clear.
Putting aside the how and why.
The raid on the building where the president and military generals gathered at this timing means only one thing..
It's war.
