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 228

“This madman… … .”

As the Korean language came out, even Jake, who was looking at Harry, could be seen hesitating.

His golden beard hesitated before moving.

“… Harry, are you okay?”

“Yes, chief. Sure. Better than ever.”

I replied with a smile still on my lips. For a moment, Harry looked at me.

“And senior, now I understand that much.”

“what?”

“The Korean words you just said. Isn’t that slang?”

I blinked my eyes at Harry’s words.

I never thought I’d understand, but Harry smiled again.

“I heard that close friends often curse each other in Korea, but that seems to be true. I want to do it too, but I know that juniors can’t curse at seniors, so I’ll just listen.”

“No, how much did you study… … ?”

“When I couldn’t be with my seniors, I mainly focused on studying Korean.”

“then… how much do you understand Do you understand what I am saying now?”

Surprised, I spit out Korean.

I had said something about studying Korean before, but it seemed like he would understand.

I also understood at the same time.

Because he was a guy who got into Johns Hopkins Medical School and then dropped out.

Soon, his answer came.

“How much do you understand? I understand roughly. It’s a little difficult for me to say because my pronunciation is not good, but I can figure out most things. There are vocabulary words or modified words that you don’t know, but you can figure them out through the original form or context… … .”

“and… You smart crazy bastard… … .”

“I’ll take that as a compliment, senior.”

While Korean and English alternated, I heard Jake’s voice.

“Is the conversation over?”

Seeing him at the same time as Harry and I, Jake continued his speech calmly, as if he had been flustered.

“Harry, make a list in order of priority for the number of people to officiate and host, and the guests to invite. A lower-ranking guest may be omitted due to security or location issues.”

“It’s okay, I fully understand.”

As Harry answered with satisfaction, Jake’s gaze turned to me.

“And Lee, you as best man help Harry.”

“I wonder if there is anything I can help with… … .”

“You may need to eliminate hazards on site.”

I hesitated at the words I heard while answering lightly.

Are you at risk?

In my bewilderment, my bounty popped up.

That made sense.

“… Did you get a spy?”

“There is always intelligence about infiltrating the Pentagon. We either fail to try or fail, and we are always prepared for emergencies.”

“Then the risk may need to be removed… Do you just mean to be prepared for emergencies?”

He still asked with concern.

If the wedding hall were to become a terrorist site, it would be very terrible.

Meanwhile, Jake nodded briefly.

“Yes, it is the judgment of the superior, and I agreed.”

“Do you even have a firearm?”

“It should be at the level you are wearing now.”

At that, I looked down at my waist.

A wide, sturdy tactical waistbelt worn just like a belt, a holster, a fixed Glock 19 and two spare magazines caught my eye.

Total ammunition 45 rounds.

If there were no overlapping targets, it was an amount that could kill a total of 45 people.

“Ugh, the gun at the wedding hall… Harry, you… … .”

I tried to ask Harry if he was okay, but he couldn’t speak.

It was because his eyes were shining.

With a happy face like when he said it would be a perfect wedding.

“That’s really cool, if you’re a senior with a Glock 19… It will help you more than anything else. A senior holding a handgun is more reliable than dozens of army corporals or QRFs (Quick Reaction Forces) guiding the way at the Pentagon.”

At those words, Jake also shook his head.

“Yes, Lee. Not only Harry, but me and my superiors all trust you. I don’t think it was for the purpose of encouragement that the president told me to treat him more than himself. I said it because your ability is so valuable.”

“Ugh… What if both sides say so… … .”

It was time to laugh at the conversation that led to my trust at Harry’s wedding.

Taang-! Tadadang!

Gunshots rang out.

“… … !”

Reflexively, I pulled out my Glock 19, fell out of my wheelchair, and hit the floor.

I felt a prick, but I lowered my upper body and moved my body to the other side of the gunshot, and started looking for cover.

And I gestured to Harry, who was trying to support me by his side.

“Okay, go over there.”

As I approached the door, several more gunshots rang out.

At the same time, I could hear Jake’s gruff voice as if on radio, but luckily the situation was over before I put on the in-ear radio and went outside.

“It’s okay, the enemy has been subdued.”

It took less than a minute, but I was convinced that it was organized quickly.

As the security was strengthened, it was not only the sentries who stood guard, but also because the special forces of tier 3 or higher were patrolling and waiting.

They even waited in the embassy.

A car entering ignorantly would have been cleaned up in an instant.

However, the word “enemy” or even this situation could not be easily accepted.

This was not a road that could be robbed, but a U.S. mission with the American flag hanging on it.

I had heard the word attempted terrorism, but it was not a place to rush into.

He asked directly at Jake.

“What happened?”

“I heard that an unidentified vehicle attempted to enter at the main gate, and was stopped without casualties.”

“A vehicle?”

“Okay, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team arrived and said they’d check it out soon.”

At those words, I shook my head.

“under… This… … .”

“why?”

“Isn’t this what happened because of me? Judging from the situation, it seems that the diplomatic mission has already been exposed… … .”

I said it out of concern, but Jake immediately shook his head.

“Exposure was already foreseeable. Behavior suspects have appeared before, and suspicious communications have occurred several times in the vicinity.”

“If it was before… … .”

“It was long before the billion-dollar bounty was put on him.”

“Are you Pikal?”

Immediately after that, I asked from behind.

It was like spitting out the name without end, but Jake replied as if he understood perfectly.

“I’m not sure of the link, but it’s highly likely that Pikal is behind it.”

“ah… … .”

A sound similar to a sigh came out of nowhere.

There was no way that Pikal would just bet on $1 billion just now.

You must have watched me before.

In the midst of such thoughts, Jake’s words added.

“And even if the bounty served as a catalyst, this situation is not your fault either.”

A begging voice continued as if to relieve my worries.

“The CIA Headquarters, the Pentagon, and the White House always receive terrorism intelligence, but it’s the same as never being attacked.”

“yes? suddenly… why there… … ?”

With a hopeless heart, I added the following words and asked.

“That’s not what I’m trying to say, is it?”

“Exactly, you know it well.”

“… … .”

Harry opened his mouth as he licked his lips at the praise.

“Yes, it is only relatively weak here. If we relocate the mission, it will be safe there. Just like any other facility.”

“That’s it, but… … .”

As I was about to give a rough answer, Harry’s expression suddenly changed.

with a troubled face.

“That is what I think… … .”

“… … ?”

Suddenly, I looked up to say something, but Harry said something out of the blue.

“How about Camp Lee?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

I didn’t understand, so I asked, but Harry continued with a serious face.

“It’s a special facility for VIPs, and it’s like a facility for seniors… Shouldn’t it have a name like a presidential villa like Camp David?”

“This madman… How far ahead are you going… … ?”

While he hesitated at the unexpected naming.

Jake’s shaggy golden beard moved greatly.

He nodded his head as if he was arguing.

A short note was added there.

“Okay, let’s report it.”

“yes?”

I don’t know if Jake enjoys even joking, but I didn’t, so I asked back.

If so, he would definitely report to the superiors.

As the name of the facility, it could have been accompanied by a recommendation that Camp Lee was suitable.

When I saw it, I realized it all over again.

“Ah, yes… … .”

After all, Jake was also someone close to abnormal.

Not only his appearance and abilities, but his behavior and way of thinking were all unusual.

A noble view of the country, loyalty, and boundless camaraderie.

More than anything, Jake was also someone who held me up just as much as Harry, maybe even more.

Jake was more than enough.

As I nodded, Harry’s words turned to me.

“Then, senior’s intentions must be important. How are you, Camp Lee? If it’s not that, I’m Korean, so I took the Korean spelling of K in front of it, and Camp K… Um, that sounds bad. After all, Camp Lee would be the best.”

“what… … .”

I tried to answer that it was bullsh*t, but the word ‘Camp Lee’ came out like a mumble.

“… Camp Lee?”

It stuck to my mouth more than I thought.

Although Harry’s suggestion seemed excessive, it was worth it in hindsight.

Like the achievements I’ve been doing, my value, and it’s enough to put a name on a building.

Even if it was camp Lee Kang-tae, there was nothing lacking.

Above all, it was not difficult or illegal to name it, so I felt less reluctance.

‘Camp Lee… It seems to stick to my mouth somehow… That’s right… … .’

Around the time I started drinking kimchi soup, thinking it wasn’t bad.

The radio came in before I knew it, and Jake immediately nodded at us.

“The EOD team has confirmed, and the situation has been lifted.”

Just when I thought it was fortunate that there were no explosives, Harry put a wheelchair in front of me when he had brought it.

“Come, sit down. I will pull it.”

“… yes.”

I went outside while being taken care of by the extreme Harry, but at the same time I laughed at Harry’s words.

It was because candidates to replace Camp Lee were listed in his mouth.

Camp Kang, Camp Tae, Camp GT and so on.

Strange things came up one after another, so I stopped talking and changed the topic.

“Other than that, shouldn’t we prepare the guest list first?”

“Oh right. I will prepare that too.”

“Crazy… Not that, but that first… No, it’s done. Do what is comfortable for you.”

Harry smiled as he gave up and accepted Harry’s half-baked side.

“Then let’s write a list properly.”

“… … .”

He didn’t respond, but he probably did have a list ready.

He wasn’t the kind of person who never joked like Jake, but he always kept his word.

And as expected, I prepared a list in two days and asked for my intention.

“I prepared before the New Year. I also told the team leader in advance, that I would get candidates dropped by seniors.”

There were dozens of names, but nothing to choose from.

Camp Lee was better too.

“Do it first.”

“also… I had the same thought. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no option as simple and clear as this one. Then it will be Camp Lee.”

“… okay?”

When I asked, Harry nodded.

“Yes, all the team leaders have already received permission, and I was waiting for the senior’s choice.”

“uh… … ?”

My eyes widened at the unexpected speed.

In the middle of a confused laugh, I saw Harry’s face with a deep smile.

As if your name was chosen.
