Episode 32. North Korea Stabilization Plan
The interview video was playing on the monitor.
A person much better known to the world than Jeong-woo.
It was Hyung-joo Kim, the founder of Cocoa.
“I think this is an action that hinders technological innovation in South Korea.”
He was just answering a reporter’s questions.
“So, Mr. Kim Hyung-joo, do you think that there is no need for regulations on AI technology?”
The reporter asked.
Their current topic of conversation appears to be AI technology.
“This is a different issue from technology regulation. Technology is often seen as a fixed and passive concept, but that is not the case. Technology cannot grow without public interest and support. This is especially true under capitalism.”
From what I heard, it seemed like CEO Kim Hyung-joo was making a statement in defense of AI technology.
Knock. Knock.
The scene skipped along with the sound of keystrokes being pressed.
“… It is a bit misleading to say that AI technology will reduce jobs. On the contrary, it should be seen as increasing jobs in terms of society as a whole. Economic growth is the same as technological innovation. Let’s take tractors as an example. In the US or Canada, farmers use 800,000 pyeong of farmland alone. This is an area that would have been absolutely impossible in the past. Technological innovation is what makes this possible.”
Knock. Knock.
The sound of keyboard keystrokes is heard again and the scene advances further.
“In that case, sir, how do you think the announcement of PDC’s overseas relocation was influenced by public opinion in Korea?”
“There was a case in the past where a large gaming company moved its headquarters overseas. It didn’t say that it was influenced by domestic public opinion or anything like that. Of course, we don’t know if that was actually the case. However, the important thing is that the gaming company has now firmly established itself as one of the major companies in the global gaming industry. This is the complete opposite of public opinion at the time.”
widely.
Jungwoo pressed the keyboard to stop the video.
“Why is this man helping me like this? Does he like me…?”
Surely you’re not gay?
Should I try using Mind Reader? I’m seriously considering it.
[In the political and economic circles of South Korea, there exists an invisible political check between IT companies and manufacturing companies. From his perspective, it seems that he judged that simply showing this relationship structure would be beneficial enough.]
Tsk tsk.
Jungwoo clicked his tongue.
“That’s your problem. You think of people’s intentions so calculatedly. Isn’t it possible that I could help you purely because I like you?”
[… … .]
Oops.
“Now is not the time to look at this.”
There were more important things to do.
Jungwoo manipulated the mouse again.
Video of the emergency press conference held by the Office of the President.
A time that appears to be dawn.
Despite the late hour, many reporters came and held a press conference with the presidential spokesperson.
“I can tell you with certainty that we have not yet reached a wartime state.”
“Was there a provocation from North Korea?!”
“There are already reports that North Korean troops have crossed the Military Demarcation Line. Is this true?!”
The spokesperson didn’t even have time to speak as the reporters asked questions indiscriminately.
But even the spokesperson didn’t know the full details of the situation, so there wasn’t much he could say.
“Everyone, I want to tell you once again that we have not yet entered a state of war. We have not yet had any clear military provocations and there have been no casualties.”
“Then why on earth was DEFCON 2 declared? Does that make sense?!”
Despite the spokesperson’s will to control the situation, the press conference became more chaotic.
widely.
The video paused again.
“… I feel a little sorry. Did I send the androids down too far?”
This was Jungwoo’s comment while watching the scene.
South Korea was currently in a state of chaos.
It took less than an hour for DEFCON 2 to be fully implemented among the civilian population.
How many people have military families?
Nowadays, everyone, regardless of rank, carries a smartphone.
On SNS, people are taking out their military uniforms here and there and posting pictures, while others are saying they will disappear, and there are all sorts of reactions.
All sorts of speculative articles were circulating online about whether a real war had broken out or what it was.
“First of all, are you sure that pig is dead?”
It is a bit unfortunate that even those families had to die, but that is something that Kim Cheol-ryeong also firmly agreed with.
[Of course.]
“Okay. Then the most important thing is resolved.”
Here’s what Mr. Kim Cheol-ryeong needs to do.
The problem is that all of North Korea’s generals were killed under Kim Cheol-ryeong’s suggestion… .
The people who will be used as his subordinates are actually all relatives of those people, so it is no different from saying that he wants to make the person who killed his family the next leader.
We’ve already talked about this, but Kim Cheol-ryeong said it was okay.
Joseon is a country where you can live and be loyal to the guy who killed your father.
In fact, it doesn’t matter at all that they rebel again.
The problem is that more people need to be killed, but beyond the disgusting aspect, now the practitioners are really being torn apart.
Sarah’s knowledge gained over the past six months is more than enough to run the business, but if that happens, an android will have to be put in charge.
Even if society is under my control, it will eventually become a human-centered society on the surface.
Later, when Android is sold and Android is established in various parts of society, it is possible that it will be controversial if it is revealed that Android is taking up a position in the upper echelons of society.
There should be no doubt that Android can be controlled by Jungwoo personally or by the PDC.
A little bit of skepticism may not be a problem when it comes to selling to individuals.
But to conquer the world in the future, androids must be supplied to militaries around the world.
Because if there is even the slightest hint of doubt, it can become difficult to supply to the most sensitive group, the military.
Of course, on the surface, it appears that Kim Cheol-ryeong is already controlling the Android Army group.
So, it may be possible to make it seem like the military leadership is within Kim Cheol-ryeong’s authority, but the intention is to be cautious for now.
If there’s a difference, it would be better to replace it with Android at that time and tell Kim Cheol-ryeong to be as careful as possible.
Now the important thing is how to legally open the economy to South Korea… .
“No matter how I think about it, I feel like this is wasting Kim Cheol-ryeong’s political life too much….”
[For now, it is the best means to clearly lead diplomatic relations to a friendly one.]
“Yes, there is nothing more certain than this.”
The next plan is nothing special. No, is it something special?
In any case, the plan is to eliminate nuclear weapons.
Establishing friendly diplomatic relations using the elimination of nuclear weapons as bait.
Honestly, when I face this situation, I feel grateful that we have nuclear weapons.
But there is still another problem.
As I said, this will completely destroy Kim Chol-ryong’s political standing within North Korea.
The situation, which is already precarious, will now reach its peak.
They may be loyal on the outside, but they’re all gnashing their teeth on the inside.
That is why Kim Cheol-ryeong’s political power will become important.
You must know how to develop your own power.
Well, even without that, it wouldn’t be difficult to control North Korea… .
Currently, existing North Korean soldiers are being sequentially discharged in order to completely block the possibility.
The North Korean military numbers about 1.2 million.
If we assume that half of them are transferred, that’s 600,000.
A workforce of 600,000 people is supplied to society.
This is rather pushing society into a more transitional period, so we need to open up as soon as possible to revive the economy.
“There are quite a few people who feel sorry.”
[But wasn’t he originally created for this purpose?]
That’s true, but… ahem!
“But since you are my first customer, I will try to resolve it as quickly as possible.”
A customer is a customer.
If it ever becomes known that North Korean soldiers are Androids, they will be the first ones to buy Androids from me.
In return, we pay the price through a country called North Korea.
Still, a portion of the proceeds from Android sales will be invested to help revive the North Korean economy.
If the economy gradually improves like that, Kim Cheol-ryeong’s situation will improve as well… maybe?
* * *
President Woo of Gyeongseong Ilbo and Chairman Jang of Daehyun Group were talking on the phone.
“It seems like these days, there’s no need to be jealous of someone.”
[… in the political world?]
Recently, at the request of Chairman Jang, he was taking the route of criticizing the PDC, but this has now been stopped.
The reason, as we all know, is that South Korea is currently not in a position to engage in such collusion.
It has now been downgraded to DEFCON 3, but it is an unprecedented situation of DEFCON 2.
In addition, the political world was responding to the continued friendly offensive by IT companies.
As news spread that PDC was growing at a rapid pace and had received investment from Nanosoft, more and more politicians began trying to persuade the company to retract its comments about moving overseas.
Although the IT industry is supporting it, the PDC has not officially decided on its political line, so anyone can try to secure it first.
“Yes. I guess it’s because there aren’t many political issues these days… Everyone just rushes in whenever they see an opportunity…”
[Isn’t that what those authors are always like?]
“So, I think we may have to wait a little while for AI.”
[… Hehe, it’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do about it.]
As Chairman Jang, I also feel burdened by the current situation.
No matter how selfish he was, he also had a sense of moderation.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
[No. I would be upset if you said that to me. Rather, I should be the one who feels sorry.]
“Thank you for your understanding.”
[Okay. I know you’re busy, so I’ll hang up now.]
Chairman Jang looked uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
Honestly, I don’t know why, but if you want to keep the PDC in check in this situation, you have to think about moving the political world yourself.
Saying that you won’t do that means that you yourself don’t feel that bad about it.
If that’s the case, then I can’t help you any further.
Stop.
“Tsk tsk. That guy is like a bandeng sack.”
He was a nobleman who was full of greed.
This time, it’s probably nothing special.
Thanks to that, he also looked bad.
He ended up having a bad relationship with PDC, which he had no intention of beating, and PDC is currently ranked number one among promising companies in South Korea.
I heard you had some fun getting an exclusive interview with a new media outlet called The Interview or something…
It’s a shame that the interview couldn’t be done better in Gyeongseong Ilbo.
