When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield - When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield chapter 216

“I remember this happening before. dark web… Is that correct?”

Robert blinked his eyes at the president’s words.

“… yes? no way… … .”

While he was hesitant to look at the documents, an aide hurriedly delivered the files.

Then Robert’s impression of the single sheet of paper hardened.

‘prize… … ?!’

Finally, the word dark web came to mind clearly.

When Kang Tae’s team entered Brazil, the day they were wanted online in the shadows.

A bounty of $100 million was raised.

The target was Kang Tae.

In a way, it was a similar situation to now, but Robert’s reaction was very different from then.

“Yes, $100 million… The amount is the same, but the circumstances are very different.”

His expression as he answered was more serious than ever.

couldn’t be the same

It was because the dark web was a dark place online, unreliable, difficult to access, and full of dangers, whereas the Russian military was not.

To put it simply, it’s not a negative, it’s a kind of positive.

There, Kang Tae was exposed with the amount of 100 million dollars and 1 billion dollars.

Robert couldn’t stop his pupils from shaking.

The amount is also the amount, but the few lines written next to it were also bad.

Crimes such as assassinating a factor and obtaining information were listed, as well as difficult-to-disguise information such as photos of Kang-tae, race, and height.

Fortunately, there was no label attached to Kangtae.

For example, the organization you belong to, your position, your name, etc.

And most of it is bound to be forged, and even that would disappear when returning from an operation.

All that remains is the paperwork.

There was nothing in this operation that could identify Kangtae.

It was literally all about face, race, and height.

It wasn’t good though. It will be noisy not only in the dark, but also in the light.

Soon, the worried president’s words followed.

“If this happened… Wouldn’t it be better to launch a rescue operation right away than to get him out alone? Are you too dangerous? Considering his value, as the minister and Anderson said, shouldn’t we get him out right away?”

“I too would like to launch all the helicopters waiting at the Russian border… … .”

Thomas, the Secretary of Defense, shook his head.

“The timing is not good. The distance is also a bit far, so the helicopter used may be dangerous.”

“… Do you have any other plans?”

The president hesitated but asked as if urging.

Because it is a last resort.

Of course, I relied heavily on Kang-tae for this operation, but that didn’t mean I entrusted it to him at all.

The United States also had an operation in place.

so it was allowed

As the president looked at this, Thomas looked at the CIA director sitting across from him for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Yes, I just finished reviewing the plan you mentioned with the Director of the CIA, but I need to talk to the Secretary of State as well.”

At that, the president immediately turned his attention to his aide.

“The Secretary of State? Are you there yet?”

“I received the message, but I was told that I was negotiating with the Indian side and would finish it as soon as possible.”

I wanted to give an order to stop immediately, but I couldn’t.

It was because the Secretary of State was not just having a meeting, but was struggling to control the huge country called China.

Now, we had to make additional contacts with Japan and South Korea, which are nearby, as well as in Europe.

Because China moved troops to swallow Taiwan.

As if the president couldn’t help it, he looked at the CIA Director and the Secretary of Defense, Robert, who were here.

“Is it very important to talk to him? What if I sign it?”

“Then the president will have to control Russia himself. Neighboring countries will need to be strong in the same way.”

“Anything is fine. It is more important to bring resources that are more important than tactical nuclear weapons out of danger.”

“I understand, Mr. President.”

Thomas, who answered, gave a new order as if he had waited, and the CIA director also gave orders to his subordinates and answered the phone himself.

The president stared at the screen with nervous eyes.

It was because it was an operation that I had prepared and planned, but did not want to happen.

Within a few calls, the CIA director, who was exchanging instructions through his subordinates, reported to the president.

“All agents in Russia are starting to move.”

* * *

Russia, Moscow, army headquarters.

The army commander rubbed his thick eyelids and looked at the map in his hand.

It was a printed tactical map of the terrain in western Moscow, with dozens of X-shaped marks drawn on it.

“What happened? One to six intruders?”

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief.”

“How is this from 1 to 6 people? Isn’t it like dozens of people came in and engaged in a skirmish? Everywhere too!”

The commander-in-chief raised his voice.

It was said that a small number of snipers came in, but it made no sense given the number of deaths happening every minute.

This was enough to infiltrate at least dozens of people and engage in combat.

It’s all-out war level.

It was also difficult to pinpoint the location of the enemy.

However, the biggest problem was the fact that the area was only a few dozen kilometers from the center of Moscow.

The commander-in-chief shook his head while looking at the map.

“This crazy… Who is in charge here?!”

At the dissatisfied commander-in-chief’s remarks, the adjutant shrank and replied.

“There are practitioners, but in reality… … .”

“Actually what?! say!”

“… I heard that His Excellency’s guest is in control.”

“… … .”

In an instant, the commander-in-chief’s words disappeared.

For a moment, I want to sweep my fat face here and there with my thick hand.

“Then is it the person of the guest who died?”

“… I’m checking right now, but I think it might be.”

“The command must be there… … .”

The muttered Commander-in-Chief let out a sigh.

It was because he, who is equivalent to the chief of staff of the Army in the Western way, could not use his hands in the fighting situation near Moscow.

Moreover, there was a very high probability that what he was saying to himself was true.

If he hadn’t known what was going on, he would have gone on a rampage, but as the commander-in-chief, it was because he knew about it.

There is a person who made a large amount of donations to the Russian Ministry of Defense as a guest of the Russian president, and also gave information obtained from the United States.

He also knew what had happened recently.

From recruiting enlisted soldiers to raising ridiculous bounties.

At this, the commander-in-chief sighed and flinched.

“Wait then… … .”

“yes?”

“Did I receive a request for support? Or did His Excellency’s orders fall?”

At the bulldog-like words of the commander-in-chief, the adjutant hesitated and held out the file.

“sorry… His Excellency may be uncomfortable, so he told me to deliver it quietly… … .”

The commander-in-chief’s impression hardened.

He also agrees with and follows the dictatorship of the president, but it was because the military situation was not very good.

Things shouldn’t have gone this way just because he was the president’s guest.

The chain of command, requests for support, and reports were all a mess.

The commander-in-chief shook his head.

“I’m busy just worrying about the advance to the west… … .”

He wanted to scold him harshly, but the commander-in-chief mumbled something and then accepted the document presented by his adjutant.

It was a document requesting the mobilization of troops, equipment, and material support.

It was also a huge quantity.

They were demanding division-level support, much more than the regimental-level troops they had already taken.

He frowned as he lamented so much.

‘Looks like I’m in charge… … .’

Even if it made the president uncomfortable, there was a need to check.

Because I couldn’t move this amount at will.

“Look and prepare, I need to see the Minister.”

“All right.”

the moment he answered.

Tiliri-

The office phone rang, and the commander-in-chief, reflexively checking the time of dawn, picked up the receiver.

And I frowned at the words that followed.

“what? where… … ?”

– Terrorist intelligence in Noginsk, Moscow Oblast! All the cops on the scene are on the scene, and even the bomb squad is getting ready!

“… … !”

The commander-in-chief’s eyes fluttered.

Noginsk was located in the east of Moscow, about 50 kilometers away from the army headquarters.

As he recalled the terrain, he hesitated.

Because the most important thing was different.

‘Minister!’

It was the land where the wife of the current Russian second-in-command and military leader, the Minister of Defense, lived.

They were running large factories and businesses.

He was the chief retainer of Noginsk.

Soon, the commander-in-chief’s mouth opened hastily.

“The amount of explosives?!”

-As a result of identifying the debris found so far, it was said that the inside of the radius of 1km would be destroyed, but it may increase more.

“Does the minister know?”

– I don’t know that far, the police found it first… … .

It was time to hear the next words.

Geeing-

The cell phone he wore around his waist vibrated.

He hesitated as he checked his cell phone with his free hand while feeling the fighting spirit.

“… … ?!”

It was a call from his wife.

I was nervous because I thought it might be a minister, but on the contrary, I was more surprised.

It was because he wasn’t the person to call, especially at dawn like now.

It was the kind of person who knew well that calling during work was cumbersome.

If you called now, it would mean it’s urgent or important enough to ignore all of that.

It was when the Commander-in-Chief accepted it without thinking.

Russian language mixed with regional colors came out randomly from across the cell phone.

The commander-in-chief, who had been listening, hesitated.

It was because the words that came between them were unexpected.

Fire, run, smoke, etc.

That is, there was a fire in the house.

“… wait a minute Calm down and speak up!”

– Coke, fire! It’s on fire. It happened in the building next door, but it moved to our house and came out.

“Oh, what about the children?”

– Inhale the smoke and go to the hospital… Coke.

It was time for the commander-in-chief to look out the window in a hurry at the coughing that followed.

This time footsteps were heard.

It seems to be rushing from outside.

Empty!

A violent knock on the door was heard, followed by an intelligence officer running in.

“His Excellency has given the order to assemble!”

“what!?”

The commander-in-chief’s eyes widened.

Terrorist intelligence, fire, and even the president’s convocation order that followed.

It was a series of embarrassing events, but I instinctively realized that none of this was a coincidence.

‘no way… … .’

There was only one word that came to his mind.

USA.

Precisely, the special operations agents or special forces members would have moved, but that wasn’t the important thing now.

The commander-in-chief said, moving as if leaving immediately.

“Send someone to my wife. There’s a fire. It’s probably an intentional arson… Arm yourself and move. Evacuate everyone in Noginsk safely.”

“yes? Ah yes! All right!”

Hearing the adjutant’s answer, the commander-in-chief hurriedly moved.

I left the Army Headquarters and went straight to the President’s Office, but I didn’t go long before I wrinkled my face.

It wasn’t because there was another phone call or a call from the adjutant.

It was because I could see what I was thinking deeply.

To be precise, his thick bulletproof vehicle.

‘Why is that fellow here… … ?’

It was the president’s guest, Pikal, who got off inside.
