How a Calamity Necromancer Retires - How a Calamity Necromancer Retires chapter 139

“Ignore the protests.”

Baekyang, one of the seven members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, located directly under the chairman.

The Baekyang was the person who led the border blockade.

“If we close most of the borders with North Korea, the other side has no choice but to come out first.”

Baekyang said with a smile.

“If we enter into negotiations like that, we secure influence in North Korea by placing our personnel in high positions in the revolutionary government. It’s a simple story, right?”

Due to the US blockade policy against China, China was now surrounded by India, Japan, and numerous pro-US Southeast Asian countries.

But now, if North Korea, which is adjacent to the border, turns pro-US, China’s breath is tightened even more.

In particular, in the case of North Korea, it is so close that it takes less than 10 hours by car to Beijing, the capital city, and it has an army of a size that even China cannot ignore, and it serves as a buffer zone for South Korea with US forces in Korea. Now that it has turned pro-US, the shock that China accepts is even greater.

“By the way, Mr. Standing Committee, Seron is the most active investment in North Korea and the project to connect the land route this time. Will Han Ji-hyeok stay still?”

Then the white sheep frowned and said.

“Are you saying the same thing as Junckerin?”

Junckerin is a member of the Standing Committee who is forming a rivalry with Baekyang, and was one of the people who opposed the border blockade.

It is true that the revolutionary government’s pro-US move is worrisome, but since it already dominates North Korea, it cannot be overturned, and rather moderately argued that the revolutionary government should be made pro-China through a policy of appeasement through financial support, etc. .

On the other hand, Baekyang insisted that even now, he should be attacked with a strong attack and surrendered.

When Baekyang’s argument was accepted, Jungkerin said with a frustrated expression.

Is Han Ji-hyeok really going to stay still?

“What are you going to do with Han Ji-hyeok? This is international politics. Han Ji-hyeok is just a mediocre entrepreneur with no power. Whether or not to acknowledge the revolutionary government that seized power by force is entirely up to us! Besides, it doesn’t matter if they intervene.”

Baekyang said with a confident expression.

“Because the card Han Ji-hyeok can pull out is obvious. Maybe stop buying energy.”

Then the bewildered subordinate said.

“Mr. Standing Committee, it is not so easy to think about stopping energy purchases!”

Seron introduced energy purchases to China through negotiations with China.

As a result, the number of Chinese people earning additional income from energy sales now stands at 100 million.

However, it was clear that these 100 million people would protest if energy purchases were suddenly stopped.

“okay. It’s not an easy thing to think about. But if you think of it the other way around, now is your chance.”

“yes?”

“Even just purchasing energy for 100 million people is enough to worry about the aftermath. What will happen if all the people beyond 100 million buy energy? At that time, I literally have no choice but to be swayed by an individual named Han Ji-hyeok.”

Baekyang smiled and said.

“But things are different now. The Chinese government allowed energy sales, but Han Ji-hyeok unilaterally stopped purchasing energy, so you can turn that resentment to Han Ji-hyeok.”

If the Chinese government refuses, the Chinese government will be resentful because it is the Chinese government that blocked additional imports, but this was Han Ji-hyeok himself, so the Chinese government allowed us, but Han Ji-hyeok was like that. The saying that there will be an excuse.

“So it may be difficult in the short term to win when you are still only 100 million, but it is beneficial in the long run. Once it is interrupted, it becomes difficult to resume.”

It expands its influence by pressuring North Korea by closing the border, and if Han Ji-hyeok protests and stops energy purchases, he transfers his resentment to Han Ji-hyeok and stably drives energy sales out of China.

This was the reason Baekyang pursued this plan.

“ah… You’ve been calculating all of that.”

“of course. Besides, Jihyeok Han has a strong tendency to move within the confines of the law. I wouldn’t know if it was completely covered up like the last SS-class gate incident, but in a situation where the person himself is exposed, he doesn’t do unexpected actions well.”

“okay.”

“In the end, the cards he can choose from are limited. So if we just prepare well for that situation… … .”

That’s when we were talking about Han Ji-hyeok’s resistance.

“Bae, Standing Committee member Baek!”

“what’s the matter?”

“Han Ji-hyeok moved on a chartered plane!”

“what? in action? Where. USA? Or us?”

A subordinate spoke in a puzzled voice.

“Neither one!”

“Say it clearly! Where are you going?”

“I’m going to Taiwan!”

By analyzing Han Ji-hyeok’s tendencies and coming up with appropriate countermeasures, Baekyang coped with them quite well.

However, the most misjudgment in Baekyang’s analysis was that it was based on the premise that Han Ji-hyeok would only work as an individual.

The bewildered white sheep cried out.

“Why are you suddenly going to Taiwan!?”

* * *

I held hands with the president of Taiwan in front of Taiwanese reporters and smiled brightly.

“Thank you in advance, Mr. President.”

The Taiwanese interpreter then spoke.

“We also wish you well.”

I made a surprise visit to Taiwan, met with the President, and made a proposal that Taiwan couldn’t help but be shocked by and China couldn’t help but be terrified.

The proposal was the Skeleton Defense Treaty, which was made with a slight twist on the Gate Defense Treaty with Japan.

The content was simple.

The contents of the large-scale deployment of combat-type skeletons in Taiwan to protect the people of Taiwan.

At first glance, it seems to be about protecting the Taiwanese people from monsters, but the core of this defense treaty was to protect the Taiwanese people from everything outside, unlike the Gate Defense Treaty.

“ruler. Then, shall we make arrangements?”

I raised my hand and enlarged the entrance to the subspace enormously.

And my undead army pouring out of there.

In the meantime, I have been restoring the undead legion in my spare time, focusing on quality rather than quantity, and currently possessing 15,000 undead at the Awakener level.

Among these 15,000 undead, I summoned all of the normal combat types except for the important forces that should not be disclosed to the outside world.

Having summoned all the undead like that, I spoke to the reporters.

“Voila. 15,000 awakened undead.”

Then, Taiwanese reporters as well as other foreign reporters were shocked and said.

“Are those all Awoken?”

“I knew it was a lot, but I didn’t expect it to be this much… … .”

“Isn’t the total number of awakened people in Taiwan 24,000? Two-thirds of Taiwan’s total power, right?”

People appalled at the number of undead legions rivaling the entire Awoken of a nation.

‘I’ll faint if I see the Seron undead army.’

Seron’s undead army totaled 500,000.

Among them, there are 300,000 general soldiers and 200,000 Awoken class soldiers summoned now, and considering the extremely powerful high-level special objects, both quality and quantity are remarkably lacking.

‘Anyway, this should be enough for an impact, right?’

Of course, I deliberately took out all the undead to show off my strength.

Of course, for the time being, these undeads roam all over Taiwan to protect them, and then, since regular operation is inefficient, we should retrieve them all with the excuse of summoning them when the enemy appears.

Because that was the contents of the treaty with the Taiwanese government in the first place.

‘Are we the only divided country? You too are a divided nation. Then you should be treated the same way.’

Taiwan has always faced threats from China.

In particular, the number of Awakeners proportional to the population is the part where Taiwan is absolutely inferior to China.

But 15,000 Awoken-class skeletons are put into this?

For China, which was shouting that it would reunify with Taiwan even by force, it would be like lightning.

‘Originally, a grudge is the law to pay back tenfold.’

After closing the border once, Taiwan’s Awakened power nearly doubled.

In addition, I am supposed to receive a considerable amount of money from Taiwan when the treaty is triggered, so from my point of view, I can take revenge and earn money, so it couldn’t be better.

I said looking at the president of Taiwan.

“From now on, these skeletons will protect Taiwan and its people. Monsters or whatever.”

The president of Taiwan nodded vigorously and said.

“Monsters or whatever. That’s really encouraging.”

“sure. People’s safety is the most important thing, right? You can put down your worries about monsters now.”

The word is a monster, but everyone in the world knows about it, not to mention the president of Taiwan and me.

The real reason for revealing this skeleton and signing a treaty with Taiwan is because of China, not monsters.

But anyway, it’s a pact that was signed for the sake of monsters, so what does it matter?

“ah! In addition, I will arrange this too.”

I opened the subspace and summoned the Death Knights wearing colorful armor.

Those Death Knights are SS-class Death Knights.

“There were three Taiwanese SS ranks, right?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“These guys are SS-class undead. I will place three of these guys.”

At my words, the president of Taiwan said with a tear-jerking laugh.

“Taiwan will be friends with Seron forever.”

“Oh. Not like that.”

It wasn’t enough to make up for the insufficient number of awakeners, even the most inferior SS class.

kya

This is a major blood service, right?

After the treaty ceremony, I approached Kim Deok-bae and said,

“How will China come out?”

“There will probably be an uproar.”

I guess so.

Because Taiwan is definitely China’s seizure button no matter what anyone says.

Even importing just one weapon makes a fuss, to say that 15,000 Awakener-class undead and three SS-class ones are included.

I said looking across the sea toward China.

“If you step back from here, I’ll look after you. But don’t lift the border blockade and just make a fuss? Then let’s do it until the end.”

Taiwan isn’t the only country with bad relations with China.

I said with a grin.

“ruler. How are you going to come out?”

* * *

When the news of Taiwan’s defense treaty was reached, China naturally protested fiercely using all channels.

China, which has clearly demonstrated how effective the Chinese attack button between Taiwan and China is, such as criticizing that the treaty was conscious of China and is no different from a de facto military deployment, and at the same time, signing a treaty with the Taiwanese government that the Chinese government does not recognize is invalid. .

I said while watching the news article.

“A de facto military deployment… … . So what? It’s not the first time we’ve signed a treaty.”

In Japan, the undead army was summoned to stop the monsters, and the same is true this time.

But the problem is that it’s not just monsters.

In other words, even if you can criticize it like that, there is no practical way for China to deal with it.

After all, Taiwan and I were deployed in preparation for monsters, so it’s enough to insist on it.

I turned my head and said to Deokbae Kim.

“Is there a protest against the Korean government?”

“yes. It is said that a Korean company protested by saying that it illegally deployed private troops in its territory.”

“Your territory? ah. One China?”

Taiwan is also their land, right?

“Who is protecting the land? It’s not about protecting the people. If Taiwan is its own territory, it is like protecting its own people. What should I do?”

I said with a relaxed expression after spitting out the Chinese sound so calmly.

“By the way, China doesn’t seem to have any intention of withdrawing easily right now, right?”

“It seems so.”

“Are you going to come out strong?”

I am an individual, although I certainly have power comparable to that of a state.

However, there are advantages to being such an individual.

That I can move as I please without any restrictions.

In China, which is a one-party dictatorship, there will be conflicts within the party, but I have no such thing at all.

“Is India in a border dispute with China? Shall we contact India?”

Then Deokbae Kim said.

“Rather than that, why not stop buying energy?”

“no way. That’s the real last card. They are not fools either, so did they not expect me to pull out the energy purchase suspension card? Is that the easiest and most effective way?”

I thought about it for a while, then opened my eyes and said.

“Should we rather increase our energy purchases in China? I’m going to hit it in reverse.”

Currently, China has designated a significant area as a special energy purchase zone.

Its population alone is in the hundreds of millions.

However, no matter how cheap China’s energy purchase is, the cost is not easy as the population is the population, so installing energy booths only in some areas of the special zone and actually enjoying the benefits of energy purchase has been stagnant at the level of 100 million. to increase it.

“I think the effect would be much better if I increased it like that and then suddenly stopped it.”

They are blaming each other, but that doesn’t mean that the special zone contract they signed earlier is invalid, so it’s possible.

Then, Deokbae Kim said with a concerned expression.

“Then it would cost too much, and there would be a lot of surplus artificial essence left.”

“It doesn’t matter. After all, the more artificial integers, the better.”

It’s enough to make an undead army with what’s left.

Are you saying that I have practically nothing to lose?

“Good. So, this is what happened anyway, more energy purchases in China… uh?”

China is already predicting the extent of its energy purchase suspension card.

That’s why I was thinking of responding by increasing energy purchases on the contrary, but now that I think about it, isn’t there a way that is more effective and less expensive than this?

I said while stroking my chin.

“We shouldn’t be anticipating the level of suspension of energy purchases. However, the border closure and the fact that it comes out river by river means that it will accept the suspension of energy purchases if necessary. Why?”

Since I am the subject of the suspension, do I minimize division by inducing myself to receive resentment?

this is the most reasonable

It’s like passing on to me the decrease in income due to energy cuts and the resulting conflict between the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

I said with a grin.

“Then you should use this against me.”

Not by minimizing the conflict, but by inverting it in a way that kindles a fire.

“Vice-president.”

“yes.”

“Let’s move all energy booths in China.”

“Where?”

“Included in the special zone, but to areas that have not received benefits because there are no energy booths.”

Since energy has to be sold every day, the energy booth must be close to the living area.

In other words, even in the same energy purchase special zone, depending on where the energy purchase booth is installed, it is divided into those who can sell and those who cannot sell every day.

So, by using the location of this energy booth, it encourages conflict between Chinese people in the special zone.

“Do a survey of the residents of the special zone, and based on the survey, relocate all existing energy booths elsewhere.”

At my words, Deokbae Kim said with a surprised expression.

“Then the people who were using it before will object… ah! Instead, the locals who will be newly installed will be happy!”

“That’s it.”

If you recklessly stop everything, I will hear your resentment.

Conversely, increasing energy purchases costs too much money.

However, simply moving existing facilities can cause conflict among people in the special zone, so how effective is it?

“After making both sides growl like that, China still doesn’t listen? Then I move it again, and later I mix it all over the place.”

Energy sales have a profound impact on real life.

But what if the location of the energy booth changes every time the Chinese government makes nonsense?

“People in the area where it was installed will want to stop talking nonsense, and on the contrary, people on the side where it has not been installed will quickly want China to talk nonsense and be deployed to their area again. And if that happens over and over again, public opinion and backlash will all be randomly mixed.”

Suspension of energy purchases makes resentment against me?

Then, on the contrary, I mix this into a jumble and turn the entire special zone into chaos of chaos.

Even since the deployment area is decided through a survey, it is obvious that there will be a very f*cking uproar over this survey and the residents of the special zone unite to promote public opinion to be deployed to their area.

Then, the only thing the Chinese government can do is to stop the energy purchases themselves, not me, in the end, and if that happens, it will be like pouring fuel with their own hands on the anger of the residents who have already gone mad.

“okay. This is it.”

A great way to annihilate the Chinese people without causing any damage to me.

I said with a smirk.

“Then let’s play dirty for a while, shall we?”
