The process of going to the Arabian Sea off the coast of Pakistan was very simple.
This is because there was no need to change transportations several times as if infiltrating Russia or China, memorize secret words to contact our informants, and there was no need to hand out fake IDs and dollars for bribes that I had memorized in order to use them.
It was because I took a helicopter from Camp Lee to the air base, and from the air base to the aircraft carrier by transporter.
And after boarding the aircraft carrier, there was nothing to get off.
Because one of the goals was to stage a kind of armed demonstration in front of the Arabian Sea.
In the meantime, our team digested the daily routine.
It was memorizing various information that had been done before the operation infiltration, establishing an operation for infiltration, and maintaining the senses while exercising or shooting in between intervals.
So that we can infiltrate Pakistan right away and kill Pikal.
Of course, I couldn’t be sure that Pikal was there, but that didn’t mean I could find out where he was.
My report went up, but it was better to trust the US intelligence network.
It was also the first country to find out information about the invasion of China or Russia and prepare for it, but it was because it drove Pikal into a corner unlike the scenario that only suffered.
So it was time to sit in front of the desk for the first time in a while and flip through the paper data.
“lee.”
Ron, who led us to this ship, appeared.
After he was brought in, he was standing in front of the door, who had been unable to see his face because he had been in and out of the command room and some kind of conference room.
I tried to ask what was going on, but Ron kept talking behind my back.
“They’re looking for you up there, follow me.”
“stomach? leaflet leader? Or are they the ones in black suits?”
The carrier strike group’s flyer leader was the highest-ranking soldier on the ship, and those in black suits were from the White House and the CIA.
Of course, I didn’t know if the latter was a high-ranking person, but it must be someone ‘above’ as much as the generals are at a loss.
So I asked, and Ron shook his head.
“They are not up. There are only three people above me and you.”
“Three?”
“Robert, Secretary of State, President.”
“I thought the only people I could meet here were flyers and suits… So, are you going to have a videoconference with those three?”
“okay.”
“By the way, where should I go to have a video conference? You can just radio, or you can do it on a laptop like the news… … .”
“Looks like you have something really important to say.”
“If it’s something important… All right, let’s go. Where can I go?”
As I got up while asking Ron, Ron, who was guiding me, shook his head.
“The room has no name, like our team.”
“yes?”
When I asked again because I was thinking of a command control room, a communication room, or some kind of conference room, Ron said with a smile.
“I mean, it is very important. There are a lot of machines in the room, so don’t touch anything.”
“That’s what… … .”
While answering questions roughly, I walked for a long time along the corridor made of heavy iron on the aircraft carrier.
In a cabin, I encountered unexpected things.
As Ron said, he entered a room full of machines.
There was a table and chair in the middle, and a camera lens, but it was not unusual.
Then came Ron’s voice, as if he had guessed my thoughts.
“In case of emergency, it is said that the president commands or even discusses launching nuclear missiles here.”
“oh… You mean here?”
It was around the time when I heard that they were launching nuclear missiles.
Ron gestured for a chair.
“Sit down for a while, all three of us are waiting.”
“All three?”
“More, if you ask me.”
While they were talking, the lamp next to the camera lit up and a large screen lit up.
At the same time, Ron patted me on the shoulder and left.
“I’ll leave now, finish well and come out.”
As soon as I finished greeting him, several faces appeared on the screen.
That’s a lot more than you think.
In the split screen, there were not only three people who could be considered above me, but five more.
Eight people in total.
Some of them were familiar faces like Thomas, the Secretary of Defense, but there were also a lot of people I didn’t know.
Still, judging by their appearance, they must be high-ranking nobles.
While looking around, I heard the president’s voice, which was quite familiar to me.
– Um, can we get straight to the point?
“Yes, tell me.”
After answering, the president’s words followed quickly.
And the moment I heard a few words, I realized that I hesitated.
‘ah… Was it this?’
Even though I was on the way to the aircraft carrier by transport, I received a call.
The reason was a few words I said to Robert.
To be precise, the story of the scenario I knew was coming out.
I was amazed at the various words I heard.
‘Hey… Roughly speaking, this far… … ?’
He gave me a word, and I felt as if I had made dozens of reports out of it.
No, it wouldn’t be in the mood.
For the president to say something like that, he would have had to be prepared from below.
And above all, the material was worth seeing.
* * *
USA, Washington DC, Harry S. Truman Building.
The head of an unknown organization, Robert, who received a report of Kang-tae’s remarks from Jake, was more deeply troubled than ever.
‘Maybe it’s not Pakistan…’ … ?’
His eyes narrowed.
I read it over and over again as if I was tearing apart each letter of Kang-tae typed on the document.
As if reading Kang-tae’s inner thoughts through text.
It had to be.
It was because there had never been a case where Kangtae had expressed such a different opinion.
Of course, it was okay to say that it was possible to express an opinion, but the person who said it could not be ignored.
A person who has performed impossible operations with superhuman abilities.
One of the most important things was different.
It was the fact that Kang-tae had never raised a counterargument to the operation he had come down to.
It also depends on an unclear feeling.
It wasn’t even a situation where a specific infiltration order was given.
The content of the operation was simple.
It was all about boarding an aircraft carrier and moving to the Arabian Sea.
However, in the meantime, do you show opposition?
Robert’s head, which continued to read the typeface, shook from side to side.
‘… It’s ridiculous, there’s something.’
Kang-tae was not one to talk nonsense or anything like that.
I didn’t even do it while listening to the operation.
After several overlapping thoughts, Robert called Ron, his direct subordinate.
It was because he was a kind of general manager who was assigned to the field to guide and move from the air base to the aircraft carrier.
Tiri riri— T riri li—
Wait for the ringing tone to continue.
– Robert? Is there a problem?
Ron answered the phone with a confused yet nervous tone.
It was still on the way to the transport plane, so I could hear the noise of the flight, and it was very rare for Robert to call at such a time.
And, of course, something important or urgent.
Robert, knowing this, asked again.
“Call Lee.”
– Wait a minute.
Ron also answered without asking why.
– Robert? What are you doing?
“I called to confirm what you said.”
– Me? what… … ?
Robert, who read the report as it was to Kang-tae, who hesitated, pointed out a few things.
How accurate the content is, whether there is anything to add, etc.
The answer that came out was nothing.
Because Kang-tae replied that it was his own idea, and that there was no basis.
But it stopped at the end.
– Well, it would be nice to find something like an abandoned military facility… … .
“Where did you get that information from?”
– I didn’t hear it, it’s my opinion.
“thought?”
– Guess, guess.
“What is the basis?”
– hmm… Well, that’s just my opinion.
“I understand for now.”
After the phone call, Robert came to a conclusion.
‘I’ll have to report this.’
Although there was no evidence or information, it was because Kang-tae’s thoughts could not be dismissed lightly.
Of course, Kang Tae’s hair wasn’t extraordinary, but he couldn’t ignore it.
Because I did something I wouldn’t normally do.
Accordingly, Robert, who had organized the work to be done related to Kang-tae’s words, immediately reported to the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State, who received the report, also hesitated.
“Alpha… … ?”
His eyes were also stained with doubt.
It was because, apart from Kang-tae’s usual tendency, moving to the Arabian Sea was nothing more than a simple preparation that was difficult to see as an operation.
It was not something Kang-tae, who was expelled from Russia while wandering between life and death, would say.
Apart from Russia, Kang Tae has been to China twice, Italy, Germany, Africa, Bolivia, Brazil, etc. He has been to almost all over the world.
In the process, there were many aircraft, ships, vehicles, and nothing I hadn’t ridden.
Of course, I never did anything like that.
Kang Tae was a man who completed all his duties obediently and silently.
It is said that there is no reason to be negative about going to the Arabian Sea.
“… I guess I’ll have to file a report too. Please wait here for a moment.”
The Secretary of State left Robert on the phone to call the President, who was visiting Poland.
switch to speakerphone.
And the result of talking about Kang Tae.
came to a conclusion quickly.
– You’ll have to hear it yourself. If Alpha did that, I think there must be a corresponding reason.
“Then shall we proceed with the video conference?”
– It’s difficult right now. I have a meeting with the President of Poland soon, so let’s hurry up and get things done here and call back. Until then, put the operation on hold.
“Okay, Mr. President. Then, we will review the information here as well.”
– All right, Minister. Make sure you understand carefully. And Anderson?
The president called for Robert, who was listening with him.
“Yes, Mr. President.”
When Robert, who had been waiting, answered quickly, the president’s voice continued as if he thought for a moment.
– Anything else to add to the minister’s report?
“We will prepare a report that summarizes Lee’s recent consultation reports. It will help you understand his remarks.”
– That’s nice. Please send it in no time.
“Yes, Mr. President.”
– Then, we will contact each department in advance for business cooperation. Please review each other well.
I thought the situation was over, but things turned out to be bigger than I thought.
It was because Thomas, the Secretary of Defense, came to the building where the State Department was located, of course, as well as the CIA Director and other high-ranking officials of other intelligence agencies, which are rarely seen.
And soon, the words to work were added.
“Let’s stop doing this and move to the White House.”
“Um, okay. If the operation proceeds anyway, we will have to go to the situation room.”
“Okay, I will contact the President. Everyone, let’s get ready to move.”
The operation, which had been put on hold, was getting bigger and bigger.
It had to be.
It was because he had to look at all of Europe and the territories of neighboring countries in Kang-tae’s words.
There were numerous factories and military facilities that were recorded during World War I and World War II, as well as bunkers and research laboratories whose data were lost or destroyed and were not recorded in the records.
Robert, who was gathering data in the corner, swallowed.
‘There must be something, I’m sure… … .’
As the situation grew, at least one had to come out.
By the time I thought I couldn’t be without it.
He entered the White House’s situation room before he knew it, and sat in the last seat in front of the screen for video conference.
In it, the words of the president who visited Poland continued to flow.
It was to ask questions to confirm the content, and to mention the data that was made overnight with working-level staff at the White House.
At the end, Kang Tae opened his mouth.
– Uh… uh, that’s fine
