Episode 224: National Security Agency

Dojun did not understand what the CIA director said.

‘What does my help have to do with Israel’s missile attacks?’

Dojun asked back.

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“A request has come from the Israeli side. To attack Iranian nuclear facilities through hacking, you need to have world-class hacking skills, so please call those people. They also said that they have the world’s best cyber unit called Unit 8200. In short, if they don’t have the skills, they will do it among themselves.”

Dojun made a bewildered expression.

“If you are that confident, you can carry out a hacking attack on your own without collaborating with the United States, right?”

“ha. “That’s the problem.”

The CIA director sighed again at Dojun’s words.

“The problem is they won’t succeed. “They will report that they attempted to hack it but failed, and then they will immediately fire the missile.”

Dojun was dumbfounded.

“No, what country is that? He seems like a complete gangster… … .”

“haha. Gangster, gangster… It’s been a while since I heard a refreshing answer. But Israel has always been like that. “They assassinate numerous people and commit terrorist attacks, but they turn a blind eye.”

“No, you can’t cut ties with Israel?”

“We are the only ally in the Middle East… … .”

“Ugh, my stomach feels so stuffy.”

The CIA director said with a smile.

“That’s why we need CEO Hwang. Even if Unit 8200 is excellent, according to our research, it is inferior to CEO Hwang Do-jun’s capabilities.”

“So, are you asking me to suppress Unit 8200 with my skills?”

“yes. Also, please participate as a representative of the United States in the operation to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities.”

It was then. Brigadier General Kyle next to him said.

“CIA Director, shouldn’t you tell Representative Hwang how dangerous this is before he makes a decision?”

The CIA director looked embarrassed at Kyle’s sudden words.

“Brigadier General Kyle, that’s…” … .”

At that time, Dojun intervened.

“You mean it’s dangerous?”

“The opponent is Iran. “If this operation is successful and Iran’s nuclear facilities are destroyed, will Iran remain silent?”

Dojun paused. This was something I had never thought of.

“Stay still… “I guess not.”

“okay. That’s why it’s dangerous. Let’s say things go well and you overpower Unit 8200 and even destroy Iran’s nuclear facility. “What Iran will do next is obvious.”

The Secretary of Defense and the CIA Director looked at Kyle. But Kyle approached Dojun and said.

“The Secretary of Defense and the Director of the CIA probably don’t like me saying this. But I have responsibility. It’s a shame that I told Robert and got you involved in the first place. “I think you should at least tell me exactly what risks you are taking.”

The CIA director spoke urgently.

“never… “I will never reveal your identity.”

Brigadier General Kyle answered.

“I know. I will try my best too. But isn’t there such a thing as chance? If Do-jun’s identity is exposed, not only Do-jun but his family will be in danger. Then I… “You will never be able to forgive me.”

Dojun looked at Brigadier General Kyle.

‘It must be difficult between my responsibilities as an American general and my responsibilities as a friend to my father-in-law.’

– Hurry up, hurry up.

The CIA director walked on the white sand and approached Do-jun.

“CEO Hwang, please help me. Well, America will never forget Representative Hwang. And your identity will never be revealed.”

“I’ll think about it for a moment.”

Dojun walked along the white sand beach in silence for a while. Three American officials followed quietly behind them.

As we reached the end of the sandy beach, Dojun looked behind him and asked.

“If I participate, what is the price?”

The three people’s expressions brightened at Dojun’s words. The U.S. Secretary of Defense approached Do-jun and said,

“I prepared something big.”

The Minister of National Defense explained to Do-jun the price he had prepared.

At that moment, Dojun opened his eyes wide.

‘what? ‘You’re going to entrust me with the Pentagon and White House’s network security systems?’

This was huge. This was because it meant entrusting the defense of the United States, which must maintain the world’s highest security, to Dojun.

‘How can you trust me? ‘I can access all of the U.S. Department of Defense’s data whenever I want?’

Do-jun thought for a moment and realized what they believed in.

‘I believe in the businesses I run in America.’

Dojun was running GUARD CAT in the United States. He wasn’t the only one. Dojun also owned Riot Games, and he also had huge stakes in Google and Amazon.

Its value alone was trillions of Korean won. Moreover, its value was still rising.

‘These are my shackles. If I betray America, I have to give up all of this?’

And there were bigger shackles. It was Sally. Even if I had to give up the money, I couldn’t give up Sally and her family.

Dojun seemed to know why America chose him.

‘It’s not bad as long as my safety is guaranteed. No, rather it is an opportunity.’

Since ancient times, the United States has been called a trillion-trillion country because it spends trillions on its defense budget.

Dojun realized that he could make a huge profit from this business.

‘Plus, I can see the source.’

It was an opportunity to see in person the ‘Stuxnet source’ that changed the history of global hacking.

Dojun went to the US Secretary of Defense and extended his hand.

“great. “I’ll believe it.”

The Minister of Defense smiled brightly and held Dojun’s hand.

“You won’t regret it.”

“Please take care of me in the future.”

* * *

Dojun returned to the restaurant again. All American personnel, including the US Secretary of Defense, left.

The only people left were the Koreans and Dojun and Sally’s families.

In the meantime, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense seemed to have sobered up a bit and returned to the restaurant after seeing off the American guests.

The Minister of National Defense took Do-jun to a corner and asked.

“Did you have a good conversation with the U.S. Secretary of Defense?”

“yes.”

“Could you please tell me what you were talking about?”

Dojun looked at the Minister of National Defense and the Prime Minister with a stern expression.

“as you know. As the US Secretary of Defense said earlier, it was related to US security. “It had nothing to do with Korea.”

The Prime Minister, who became impatient with Do-jun’s words, intervened.

“so… Are you saying you can’t tell me? “Representative Hwang, you may not know it, but what we discussed with you may actually have been related to Korea’s security.”

Dojun pretended to think for a moment and then said.

“It certainly could be possible. Besides, we can’t just send people who came all the way to Jangheung like this.”

The Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense’s eyes widened at Dojun’s answer.

“that… okay. “If you decide, I will help you not only this time but also in the future.”

Dojun laughed to himself.

‘Well, I can’t tell the truth, but it will help Korea and it will help me too.’

Dojun said while looking at the Prime Minister.

“The U.S. Secretary of Defense asked me to take charge of the U.S. Department of Defense’s network defense system.”

The Minister of National Defense and the Prime Minister just blinked at Dojun’s words.

the Prime Minister asked.

“that is… . What are you talking about? What is a network defense system? Don’t lie. “That’s all it takes for the US Secretary of Defense and the CIA Director to come all the way to Korea?”

Dojun sighed heavily at the Prime Minister’s words.

“It’s true. Well, I understand the Prime Minister’s reaction. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. But it’s not a big deal. Prime Minister, do you know where the US nuclear weapons are?”

“no. Isn’t that a top American secret? “How do you know when I’m not even the President of the United States?”

It was then. The Minister of National Defense, who was listening next to me, said with wide eyes.

“no way… “What you are asking Representative Hwang to do is a security system that can access all data in the U.S. Pentagon?”

“yes. “That includes White House information.”

For a moment, the two people’s expressions hardened. It was only then that I realized that this was not normal.

This meant that Do-jun could access all data in the United States if he wanted to.

– gulp.

The Minister of Defense swallowed dry saliva.

The Prime Minister also asked, trembling slightly.

“This… This is ridiculous. Of course, I’m not doubting President Hwang’s skills, but entrusting such an enormous task to a Korean, not an American?”

Dojun answered, scratching the back of his head.

“that is… . I have quite a bit of property in the US. “I can’t get out of America.”

“under. Even though… .”

The Minister of Defense asked again as the Prime Minister shook his head.

“I understand what purpose you came from America. But I still don’t understand. Wouldn’t it be enough to do that in the office instead of coming here? “You can ask Representative Hwang to come to the United States.”

Dojun grinned.

‘As expected, you are asking this.’

Since it was an expected question, Dojun answered calmly.

“that is… Do you know about the cyber war between Korea and Japan that took place on March 1st? It is also called the Battle of Gyeongin.”

“Korea-Japan cyber war? “I remember seeing it on the news.”

Dojun looked around and spoke cautiously.

“At that time, there was an attack by Japan, and it was me and my acquaintances who prevented it. And it was me and my acquaintances who attacked Japan.”

The two people tilted their heads. The cyber war between Korea and Japan was not a big deal to them.

I just thought it was a fight between netizens who had nothing to do.

“that… Does that have anything to do with this?”

Dojun looked at the two people and sighed.

“In the United States, we were watching the Gyeongin Battle closely.”

“caution… deep?”

“yes. A hacking tool that attacked Korea from Japan. We decided that it was a great threat to the United States. “If you do it wrong, the U.S. Department of Defense will be breached.”

At that moment, the two people opened their eyes wide. I thought I would understand the situation only then.

“It’s still quiet, but they say it’s already been attacked a few times. “We barely managed to stop it, but they say they have received intelligence that another attack will occur soon.”

The Prime Minister sighed.

“under!”

“Of course, the U.S. Department of Defense was caught off guard. That’s why they came to me. “We asked them to protect the Pentagon and the White House with a protection system used in cyber warfare.”

The two people then nodded. Because everything made sense.

It was then. The Minister of Defense opened his eyes wide and spoke to the Prime Minister.

“Prime Minister. “This is not the time.”

“What does that mean?”

“Our country’s national defense is at risk. “If America feels in crisis, what about our country?”

The Prime Minister’s expression changed as the Minister of Defense spoke.

“no way… Are you going to target our country?”

“Isn’t there North Korea? “What if North Korea obtains the hacking tool that Japan attacked our country with and attacks it!”

The Prime Minister’s face turned white at the Minister of Defense’s words. It seemed as if he could see future news headlines in the prime minister’s mind.

[Korea top secret military data. Penetrated by North Korean hacking.]

At that moment, the Prime Minister shouted.

“no! “You should never do that!”

“you’re right. “This is more urgent for our country than for the United States.”

The Prime Minister said to Dojun.

“Representative Hwang, can our Ministry of Defense apply this?”

“There is, but… “The United States comes first, so I think we can only do this after applying it to the United States.”

“Is there any way to do it faster? Aren’t you Korean too? “Our country’s security comes first.”

Dojun pretended to be worried.

‘and! The effect is really good. I never thought there would be this much of a reaction.’

Dojun sighed heavily and answered.

“All right. “We will try to proceed as quickly as possible.”

The Prime Minister patted Dojun on the shoulder and said,

“Thank you, thank you!”

“But Prime Minister, there is a company in the United States that makes defense systems, so it costs money for them to come…” … .”

“Don’t worry about the cost. “I will reward you generously for your patriotism.”

Dojun lowered his head.

“Thank you, Prime Minister.”

After a while, Dojun waved as he watched the Prime Minister and his party leave.

‘Hey, Prime Minister. He gives generously. We take care of military logistics and even sell products… … . Prime Minister, we will make sure that Korea’s security system is in place.’

Dojun turned around and looked at Sally’s family and parents and said.

“It’s all over. “Everyone, let’s go home.”

* * *

Dojun called a taxi and took Sally and her group to a nearby hotel. The next day, Dojun took Sally and Dorothy to ‘Daedunsan Mountain.’ He wanted to keep his previous promise to go to the ‘mountain.’

Sally, Dorothy, and Robert were fully armed with the hiking clothes that Dojun had bought them.

Dojun took the cable car up to Daedunsan Mountain.

Outside the cable car, a wonderful view of Daedun Mountain appeared. All three looked out the window in admiration.

After about 10 minutes, I got off the cable car and the hike began.

Sally’s family members passing by on the promenade all had happy expressions on their faces.

But soon a ‘cloud bridge’ appeared in front of the three.

Dorothy and Sally were excited, but Robert had a very stern expression.

“Father, why are you doing this? What’s really wrong with you? Or maybe you’re scared… … .”

“No, what’s scary? “This is gum, gum!”

Robert walked up the skybridge excitedly. However, the sight of the swaying bridge and the cliffs below made me collapse.

“Dojun, I… “I can’t move!”

Sally and Dorothy made puzzled expressions at that sight.

“dad! what’s this!”

“honey. “Why don’t you stand up quickly?”

“I can’t get up!”

Dojun laughed and said.

“Father, close your eyes and lean on me.”

Robert passed the viaduct leaning on Dojun. But this was not the end of Robert’s disaster.

After passing the overpass, the hike continued again. And the ‘Three Line Stairs’ appeared in front of them.

It was a steep staircase with a slope of over 60 degrees.

“Oh, my God! I wanted something like this! “Sally, let’s go.”

The mother and daughter went up the stairs as if they had found an exciting ride.

But Robert looked completely dazed.

“here… “I should go up, right?”

Dojun laughed at Robert’s words.

“Yes, father-in-law. “I’ll be behind you, so don’t worry, just go up.”

“ha. I think it will be a truly unforgettable hike. really.”

After hiking for over 4 hours, Do-jun brought the two people down to ‘Namwon’.

We went to Gwanghallu Pavilion, explained ‘Chunhyangjeon’, had dinner, and then went to the hotel in Namwon.

“Dojun, thank you for today. For making it fun for my parents. “Both my parents said they will never forget this day.”

Dorothy was really happy, and Robert was really having a hard time.

“Good. Next time, let’s go to a more spectacular mountain.”

“Thank you, Dojun!”

Dojun lay down on the bed holding Sally.

“I’ll give you a big gift tonight as a reward for making my parents happy today.”

Dojun liked this moment. He loved making money, but he loved being with the person he loved now.

‘Don’t worry, Sally. ‘I will protect you and your family no matter what.’

Sheran Eini, company commander of Israel’s 8200th unit, checked the website being created.

“Munas, how is the progress?”

“We are creating a website that blocks all existing hacking methods.”

“okay?”

“By blocking the keystroker, we blocked the information sent by the keyboard, and we also used encryption to prevent packet sniffing.”

“What about SQL injection?”

“That was also blocked.”

Company Commander Sheran smiled brightly at Lieutenant Munas’ report.

“America will never break through here.”

“good. great job.”

“By the way, company commander.”

“huh?”

Lieutenant Munas hesitated for a moment and then asked.

“By any chance, is it known who the hacker sent by the U.S. is?”

“You know that’s confidential, right? It won’t be easy to find out. why? “Are you worried?”

Lieutenant Munas shook his head.

“no. “There is someone I really want to meet and compete against, and I was wondering if you could bring that person from the United States.”

“huh? Is Lieutenant Munas interested in anyone? Who is that? if… Are you talking about Annie, the legendary hacker? But she is the CEO of a company called GUARD CAT. “She won’t participate.”

“That’s not true.”

Captain Sheran tilted his head and asked.

“Then who are you talking about?”

“There is a group of hackers who operate in secret, known only to those in the know. Don’t you know? “They have succeeded in as many operations as our unit.”

Captain Sheran’s eyes widened.

“No way, they’re participating this time?”

“I don’t know yet. “But there are rumors like that.”

“Then isn’t it a big deal?”

Lieutenant Munas responded with a grin.

“Company commander. This is Unit 8200. “No matter how much they do, they can’t beat us.”

“haha. Yeah, I think so too.”

“As long as there is no natural disaster, we will definitely win.”

The next day, Dojun boarded a plane to New York, USA with Sally’s family.

After arriving in New York, Dojun immediately moved to Maryland with Robert.

Dojun got out of the car, took off his sunglasses and looked at the building in front of him.

Robert came next to me and said.

“Dojun, welcome. This is the NSA, the National Security Agency. “Come on, let’s go in.”

When I entered the NSA, I exchanged greetings with the CIA director and the NSA director who had already arrived.

The CIA director said to Dojun.

“CEO Hwang. Let’s go inside. “There is someone I can introduce to you.”
