Chapter 342 Powerful Solar Wind (2)

“Elise, you’re fucked today. Africa fell. Grape. Don’t grow. You’re already a jobless person facing impeachment.”

Ha Su-yeong wasn’t the only one planting grapevines at the Nantes vineyard.

The swimming group presidents gathered together, wearing sweatpants, and worked hard, saying that it was a rare workshop.

“What song is the chairman singing now?”

“If you just look at the melody, it sounds like ‘Für Elise’? It’s rock and roll.”

Regardless of whether the bosses were gossiping or not, Ha Su-yeong was humming the revised version of the song “Pungnyeonga” in a cheerful tone.

“You can’t come to a place! I’m already here! Your fate is fucked by the solar wind attack! What should I do with Elise?”

“Mr. Chairman, you were so excited.”

“Actually, I had a hard time laughing too much when I heard the solar wind story. The heavy oil alliance really got bitten at the top. And it was 600 billion euros.”

“It’s like the highest point, right? When you look back later, you’ll realize that this is the cut-off point where you have to shake it off.”

“There are fixed costs that the union and facilities incur every day, so it will increase further in the future.”

“Actually, the one that has suffered the most is France. Other European countries have not invested much, so they can switch back to our semiconductors.”

“China was planning to proceed independently anyway due to semiconductor sanctions. France was the only one that couldn’t do this or that.”

The executives said that today was the only day that they would plant the vineyards by hand.

Starting tomorrow, we will begin planting grapevines in earnest using unmanned equipment.

In other words, their tending the fields is a kind of performance to be seen at the Elysee Palace.

“It’s a ceremony.”

“A mocking ceremony in front of a semiconductor factory that was completely burned down by solar wind… … This isn’t going to lead to war, is it?”

* * *

“The speaker’s intention in the song is mainly a roundabout mockery with a nuance of blessing France for being in a situation where it has no choice but to return to the 45nm process… …

I can feel the strong disdain towards tolerance and the Parisian spirit… …

Ultimately, it is a mockery that takes the form of a lament that Elise’s stubbornness will return France to an agricultural era.”

After hearing the calm report from the Director of the General Bureau of External Security, the President exploded with anger at the top of his lungs.

With his face red and the veins on his neck standing out, he poured out curses, all kinds of insults, and racially derogatory remarks toward Ha Soo-young.

The staff gathered in the office shut their eyes tightly and waited for the president to calm down.

All we could do was pray that the Elysee Palace’s wiretapping prevention system would work smoothly.

‘This is already the second time.’

‘If even one of the President’s remarks reaches Marshal Ha Soo-young’s ears, France is truly finished.’

‘Could it be that the reason why Marshal Ha Soo-young is pushing France like this is because he got information about the racist insults from last time?’

The chief of staff glared at the director of the Foreign Security Bureau with bloodshot eyes.

‘I don’t think there was a need to analyze the intentions of Marshal Ha Soo-young in such detail?’

Wouldn’t the president be furious if he heard that kind of analysis?

What on earth was the director’s intention in submitting such a self-promoting report?

I couldn’t understand it.

“Everyone, get out.”

The president, who had just calmed down, spoke in a low voice that seemed to tear his vocal cords.

People rushed out of the office, and the chief of staff quickly approached the director of the General Bureau of External Security.

“Was it really necessary to convey to the President in such detail the intentions of Marshal Ha Su-young to belittle him?”

“That’s what our Security Bureau is supposed to do, so I did it. Is there a problem?”

“Thanks to you, the president is furious. If he continues like this and collapses due to health problems… … .”

The chief secretary stopped talking when he saw the director smile faintly.

At the same time, I felt goosebumps at myself for thinking, ‘Wouldn’t that be better?’

“I am simply faithfully carrying out my duties as Director General of the General Directorate of External Security for the sake of my loyal country, France.”

“….”

That’s for sure.

The director is now feeling extremely resentful of the president. He may be secretly cursing and blaming the president, thinking that France is falling apart because of him.

However, as the head of an intelligence agency, he cannot just casually express such intentions.

“Chief Secretary, at this time, the fact that Marshal Ha Soo-young brought the presidents of the swimming group to the Nantes farm to replant the grapevines is clear, no matter how you try to express it in a nice way. It is a mocking ceremony.”

“Mocking ceremony… … .”

“Every song he rewrites and sings always has the word Elise in it.”

“It includes things like our France will return to an agricultural society, become a poorer country than Greece, and become a slave to the African countries that were once its colonies.”

“I reported to the President in the most refined manner possible. I could not have concealed the other party’s intentions toward France without permission.”

The chief secretary didn’t believe that.

Because right now, the director must be hoping that the president will become depressed and resign.

An even more desperate future awaited European member states who realized that solar winds were the cause.

“Indiscriminate surface EMP showers from solar wind are expected to become more powerful due to increased sunspot activity and ozone layer destruction in the future.”

“It makes no sense to go back to the 45nm process era. Not only will the development of national industry fall behind, it will also not be able to advance further.”

“We must reach out to swimming semiconductors again, even now. That is the only way to survive.”

Other member states with fewer sunk costs quickly took action.

The problem is that if the US withdraws from the semiconductor alliance, there is expected to be strong economic retaliation from France and China.

Fire and sea.

I was cornered and had to decide which side to jump into.

Special envoys from allied countries except France, including Germany, Poland, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Greece, and Portugal, rushed to visit Korea.

They wanted to reconcile with Suyeong Semiconductor, but Ha Suyeong and Jeong Seojin refused to meet them.

The Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea stepped forward and delivered the position on behalf of the company.

“The semiconductor alliance’s tariff policy has caused the swimming group at least 1 trillion euros in damages. This must be compensated first before a reconciliation can be made.”

It’s not like they’re saying they’ll reconcile if we give them 1 trillion euros, they’re just saying they’ll sit down for now.

In fact, it is only a negative loss that will eventually be compensated once trade resumes.

It was shocking for the special envoys, but the swimming group was the one holding the sword.

If reconciliation is not possible, we will have to return to the 45-nanometer semiconductor process era.

“It’s 1 trillion euros. The swimming group’s firm position is that there will be no talks before that.”

In the end, the special envoys were not able to meet Ha Su-yeong or Jeong Seo-jin.

They put their heads together and exchanged opinions.

“There is no real damage to Seojin Foundry. The demand for diamond semiconductor products has not disappeared, so if trade resumes, all the sales will be compensated.”

“The 1 trillion euros should be seen as a punitive measure.”

“It is a ridiculously large amount, but I think it was set in response to China’s €1 trillion contribution to the semiconductor alliance.”

“The South Korean minister said that the entire 1 trillion euros need not be in cash. He said that if it has sufficient value, it can be replaced with goods or real estate.”

“But it seems that France has no intention of sending a special envoy until the end.”

As the German envoy said, France had not yet sent a special envoy.

“I heard that the Elysee Palace was ‘scratched’ because His Excellency Marshal Ha Su-yeong and his delegation personally planted new vineyards.”

“They say that the song of good harvest that he hummed while planting trees was a great mockery of the foolishness of France. How angry must he have been with that fiery personality?”

“Really, what will happen to the union in the future… … ”

The countries gathered here could not be said to be completely free from responsibility for Seojin Foundry.

It is true that I supported the establishment of a union to preserve Europe’s self-reliant semiconductor capabilities.

However, now that we are faced with the solar wind, we have realized that we must reconcile with Seojin Foundry in order to survive.

“It seems that France has different thoughts from us.”

“We may decide to continue to work with China.”

“Come to think of it, isn’t there a saying that France is called the China of Europe and China is called the France of Asia?”

“In some ways, the two countries are similar.”

* * *

“The great spirit of China will not be swayed by any difficulties or hardships, but will rise up and proudly stand tall for the pride of China!”

?Wow! Wow!

At the National People’s Congress, Chairman Sa Jin-pang made it clear in his opening speech that there would be no semiconductor surrender.

At this, numerous national people’s representatives gathered in the hall stood up and gave a standing ovation.

It was such a huge applause that it felt like the whole world was floating away.

The French press also responded.

[Let’s listen to the interpretation of the song of good harvest sung by Chairman Ha Su-yeong while planting grapevines at the Nantes farm.]

[Each and every lyric is an insult to all of France, saying that France will inevitably become a slave to semiconductors.]

[Great French citizens! How can you tolerate such insults? Will you fill your pockets with the products of those who insult us?]

The hard-line media really touched the pride of the French people.

At first, the French people complained that the president had ruined everything, but after seeing Ha Su-yeong’s interpretation of the song “Fengyun-ga,” they were shocked and took to the streets.

Korean shops were burned, and Asians suffered humiliation as they were attacked by crazed protesters wherever they appeared.

“You yellow monkey! Are you Korean?”

“Oh, no! I’m Chinese! I’m Chinese!”

“Those slit eyes! Black hair! You’re definitely Korean!”

“I am Japanese! Please save me!”

“Eww!”

There were incidents where Chinese and Japanese people were mistaken for Koreans and were captured and beaten by French protesters.

French police ignored the Asians who were being beaten by protesters. They felt the same way as the protesters.

“It’s a Korean! Catch the Korean!”

“I am Vietnamese!”

“Save the Japanese!”

“China is on France’s side! Free North Korea! Free North Korea! Dokdo is Japanese territory!”

“Koreans are lying!”

“Catch the Korean!”

A mass hysteria gripped France.

With the government behind them, the media stoking the flames, and the security forces turning a blind eye, mobs driven by madness went hunting for Koreans with baseball bats and iron pipes.

However, there were very few Koreans who suffered damage.

It was thanks to Freedom.

“It is certain that the French, who have turned into a mob, will indiscriminately round up Orientals. I recommend an immediate evacuation.”

“Go to the Nantes Farm. There you will be protected by the Federation of Swimming.”

Koreans staying in France for business or tourism purposes.

Koreans who have immigrated to France or have resided in France for a long period of time.

If a family is of Korean descent, regardless of whether they are overseas Koreans or their current nationality, at least one member of the family was a Freedom user.

Thanks to this, all Koreans were able to evacuate to the Nantes Swimming Farm under the guidance and control of Freedom before the situation became serious.

The mob, unaware of this fact, went around looking for Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian people who claimed, with their eyes rolled back, “I am not Korean!” and beat them up indiscriminately.

“We are not Korean! Please save us!”

“Hang all Koreans!”
