Episode 62. The End of the Israeli War

Office of the Israeli Prime Minister.

“You idiots.”

Israeli Prime Minister Nathanel threw a newspaper violently and swore at it.

As the recent war with Hamas has not ended cleanly, noise has been coming out here and there.

Especially in the media, they talk about human rights and such, but Hamas is a force that threatens national security.

They did not understand even this simple fact: the safety of the Israeli people would never be guaranteed unless they were eliminated.

“Just human rights! Human rights! Damn it. Sigh… .”

Prime Minister Nathanel roughly ran his hand through his hair.

You could see how nervous he was, his hands were trembling. I had just heard several articles saying that public opinion was not good, but that wasn’t the reason for his behavior.

The situation is this.

Nathanel, who had previously been confident, was growing impatient as there was no progress in the backroom deal with Hamas.

However, recently, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad obtained a map of Hamas tunnel bases, and there was an internal assessment that its accuracy was quite reliable. Prime Minister Natanel took a gamble here.

They wanted to secretly enter Hamas’ stronghold and inflict devastating damage on them, believing in the information. Fortunately, the information they found was accurate.

But the problem was that the internal defenses were much stronger than expected. In fact, most of the Israeli troops that entered suffered serious damage and had no choice but to withdraw.

The operation was carried out in secret, but no matter how much he tried to hide it, it was bound to leak out eventually.

If that happens, the image will be tarnished by the previous judicial reform. In addition, the military operation will fail due to unreasonable instructions.

It was obvious that these combined would threaten him.

If he fails to come up with a solution before this fact becomes known, he will not only have to resign from his position as Prime Minister, but he may also face legal punishment.

If that happens, it’s really the end. He will be branded as Israel’s worst leader and his political career will come to a complete end.

When Nathanel was struggling with an unsolvable problem.

Knock. Knock.

Nathanel’s nervous head suddenly turned around.

“what’s the matter?”

Soon, the secretary came into the office.

“Mr. Prime Minister, someone from a private military company called Royal Guard wants to meet with me. What should I do?”

The secretary asked with a slightly stiff expression.

“Royal Guard? Where is that place that you come to without prior notice? What are you doing that you can’t even filter out one of those thugs? Do I have to tell you everything about that?”

Nathanel’s subsequent reprimand. There was no way something good could come out of him, who was extremely sensitive.

Then the secretary came a little closer and whispered.

“Royal Guard is a private military company known as the personal army of Saudi Arabia’s Sultan Khadim.”

Prime Minister Nathanel was momentarily speechless after hearing his secretary’s answer.

King Khadim’s private army? I definitely remember hearing that Khadim’s army, which controlled the Saudi royal family, was a corporate military organization.

“…hmm.”

Nathanel pretended to think for a moment, embarrassed at having been yelling at her just now.

“Okay. Let’s meet up sometime.”

“Yes, I will send it in right away.”

The secretary quickly left, and shortly afterwards a figure wearing a bowler hat came in.

Nathanel greeted him warmly as soon as he saw him.

“Haha, nice to meet you. You’re from Saudi Arabia? How did you come all the way here?”

“Nice to meet you, Alpha.”

The man named Alpha introduced himself by taking off his fedora.

“… … ? Alpha?”

“Someone called me that.”

He was a gentleman whose speech seemed very old-fashioned. It seemed as if he was imitating some kind of polite gentleman.

“Alpha… I see. Nice to meet you. Please sit down.”

What does it matter what the name is?

“Thank you.”

“So, why did you come to see me?”

“There is only one purpose for private military companies: war.”

There is no other war in Israel right now. From the Prime Minister’s perspective, it is something to be welcomed.

But that too should be considered a possibility. There was no need to blindly hire a group of mercenaries who were completely useless.

“I appreciate your offer, but I wonder what help your military enterprise can provide to Israel right now.”

“I heard that they are having a hard time taking out Hamas’ underground base.”

The Prime Minister shook his head as if nothing had happened.

“Well, it’s the usual media exaggeration. So far, there’s no problem at all.”

“Hmm… Is that so? Then I guess I came to the wrong place. Excuse me.”

Alpha was about to leave, but the Prime Minister called him over, as he seemed to have a quick temper despite his appearance.

“for a moment.”

“… … ?”

The man named Alpha stopped and looked back at him.

“Still, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to listen to the conditions first and then decide.”

“Hmm… good idea.”

Alpha sits down calmly again.

“If the conditions are reasonable, we can definitely consider it positively. We also value the lives of our soldiers.”

“It’s reasonable… I don’t know if it meets the Prime Minister’s standards, but we have some conditions to offer. Some cash and the introduction of android soldiers. What do you think?”

“Android?”

The unexpected name Android.

News of the recent introduction of android troops in Afghanistan has already been widely reported in the Middle East.

And rumors of an unidentified mercenary group of androids are spreading through the political world of the Middle East… Could it be that they are the Saudi royal guard?

Nathanel looked closely at the man named Alpha.

…is it Android?

However, it was difficult to distinguish them directly.

“Aren’t you thinking of selling it to the public?”

“Of course. But I heard that it would only be possible after the domestic supply is sufficient.”

If it’s domestic, is it South Korea or North Korea? It’s a South Korean company, but I heard there’s a problem with nationality… .

Alpha felt that Prime Minister Nathanel, who was known for his calm thinking, was troubled and put forth an additional condition.

“Operating a large number of Androids requires quite a lot of power. The Saudi Arabian Royal Electricity Company provides power at a very low price, so we can reduce the burden of maintenance costs.”

“If it’s the Royal Power Corporation…?”

The Royal Guard is a royal force… Are they advertising themselves as a Saudi Arabian royal family company?

For something like that, his actions are a bit rough. Thinking of getting involved in the Israel-Hamas war while carrying the royal name.

“It’s an affiliate of our Royal Guard. Oh, don’t misunderstand. It’s a company that has absolutely nothing to do with the Saudi royal family.”

Alpha drew the line first, as Prime Minister Nathanel’s true feelings were revealed to the outside.

“Well, that’s none of our business. Just do your job well.”

On the surface, if it was a private company, there was no need to look into that point, and the conditions proposed were not bad.

We haven’t thought about introducing Android into government agencies, but we have already considered the case where it will be supplied to the private sector.

In particular, since the relationship with South Korea is very friendly, it is also an issue that is being reviewed positively.

“I hate to think about it, but what if it fails?”

“Then let’s pretend our conversation never happened.”

Nathanel nodded with a very satisfied expression.

To that extent, it was a very reasonable deal.

IBC News.

-Hamas leader killed.

-Israel announced that it had launched an operation late at night on the 12th and raided a Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Prime Minister was being interviewed by reporters.

“There have been many sacrifices by Israeli soldiers. It was a very noble death, and we must express our gratitude and condolences to them. In order not to make their sacrifices in vain, we must strongly condemn terrorism and take on the task of completely eradicating it from the face of the earth… .”

The screen changed back to the broadcasting station’s studio.

– Among them, Prime Minister Nathanel strongly insisted that Israel should also stop sacrificing these soldiers by introducing android soldiers, and promised that this would solve the problem of conscription. He emphasized that by doing so, Israel would be able to realize a stronger independent national defense and save government budget, which would lead to a virtuous economic cycle.

Israel’s declaration of a complete end to the war was quickly relayed to South Korea. Even now, because the PDC’s presence is so great, Israel’s introduction of Android is being reported more widely.

Now every country in the Middle East was interested in adopting Android into their military.

One of the reasons for this is the suppression of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Even at this very moment, Afghanistan was using only android soldiers to gradually capture the Taliban.

The military data was ultimately compiled and put to good use for Android promotion, making it a great deal.

Android military exports have literally become a lucrative business.

The goal is to seize power in the world, but since the production cost is 0 won after packaging and transportation costs are limited, once it is sold, it makes a lot of money.

Even in that poor country of Afghanistan, there has been no deficit since the Royal Electricity Company began supplying electricity.

“By the way, I think our Ministry of National Defense is also holding a public demonstration of Android military technology this time?”

[Yes, that’s right.]

Sarah answered Jungwoo’s sudden question.

“You don’t usually do that kind of thing, do you?”

[That is not true. We regularly hold seminars and introduction sessions on weapons systems, and in cases where new weapons under development are suspected of defense corruption, we have even held demonstrations to publicly explain the situation.]

“Corruption… Yes, if you feel wronged, you have to prove it.”

[This demonstration could be seen as an unusual case, as it is a temporary demonstration.]

“Now that I think about it, let me look up some related information.”

Instead of asking Sarah to gather information, Jungwoo started looking it up on the computer himself.

What should I say? These days, I feel like I’m getting lazy because I only hear three-line summaries from Sarah.

“Oh, it’s coming right out.”

-The military draft system is finally being abolished… .

-Android Military Demonstration Held… .

-President Kang’s defense R&D reform… .

I clicked on the last article among several articles.

– President Kang stated that the existing defense R&D strategy has reached its limit and that the ROK Armed Forces must also adopt a ‘tech push’ technology commercialization process like the US military. This Ministry of National Defense project will be part of that and a stepping stone, and as the public’s attention and interest are high, he stated that he will conduct the demonstration transparently…

“This man speaks very well.”

There has been talk for some time that there needs to be a change in R&D policy.

In particular, it was a case of perfect timing, as President Kang Moo-jin had made statements at defense forums since last year that he would actively support the application of civilian technology to the defense industry.

“Hmm… when was the demonstration?”

Of course, Jungwoo was also scheduled to attend since he had officially received an invitation to the demonstration.

[It is scheduled for the end of this month.]

South Korea may be seen as an exception because it is the birthplace of Android, but it is still one of the advanced countries.

The introduction of Android into the military by advanced countries has a tremendous impact on the global defense industry.

This public demonstration was equally important to Jeong-woo.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I think there will be mistakes.
