Episode 7. The Plan to Occupy North Korea
Doing business in North Korea… .
Then, there is no surefire way other than taking control of the North Korean regime, right?
Yeah, if you want to do business without paying attention, you’ll have to swallow up at least one country to avoid any trouble later.
Of course, the downside is that while there may be no minor aftereffects, there may be major aftereffects.
[In a civilized society with highly developed ethical awareness, you have already reached that level of thinking, which shows that you are at the top of the user adaptability scale.]
Is that a compliment?
[Of course.]
Strangely, I feel a little bad.
“Yeah, that’s what I mean, but it’s not that simple.”
[Do you have any plans in mind?]
No, I wonder if there is anyone who would normally make plans to occupy North Korea.
“Ahem, I said it, but there’s no way there’s a plan.”
[If you have any idea of even a simple plan, I will help you edit and supplement it.]
“No, even if you say so… I’m not a military expert or anything, so how do I know how to come up with a plan?”
[You will find yourself in many situations in the future where you will be asked to voice your opinion on these decisions. It would be a good idea to get used to this experience.]
“Is that so? But that means taking over a country after it has been overthrown?”
[This is an extremely average situation for all users.]
I suddenly realize what I’m doing.
“Okay, since we’ve already decided to do it, let’s do it actively.”
[Good posture.]
“Ahem. Well then, since it’s a dictatorship, we should nip it in the bud, right? There’s nothing we can do about Kim Jong-dong and his family, but we definitely need to get rid of them. Hmm… As for his followers, we might as well just monitor them, if not eliminate them? After that, we’ll put a puppet in the position of leader. What do you think?”
To put it simply, it was an embarrassing plan.
[That’s a good plan. Then I’ll come up with a detailed plan.]
“Uh… Huh? Really? Are you okay?”
[Yes, it’s very close to a classic plan.]
“Oh… Is that so? But even if that’s the standard, it’s not that easy, so that’s the problem. Even if we can eliminate Kim Jong-dong and those around him, how can we control the military generals in North Korea and find people to put in place as puppets?”
[That’s actually quite easy. My current detection area covers the entire Earth. Since I can detect even the size of microorganisms, not only North Korea but all humans in the world cannot escape my surveillance. Even with the information I’ve collected since yesterday, I’ve already figured out the locations of all the core groups in North Korea.]
What? Was that possible?
“How far can it detect? Can it detect things like sounds?”
[Of course.]
“Then you’re just reading my thoughts?”
The words, “Like you do to me?” were not necessarily said out loud.
[Not quite. However, it is not impossible to read thoughts themselves. It is only possible when using a mind reader on the entity in question, and this causes some side effects to the entity during use… .]
… While listening to Sarah, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
Surveillance is possible anytime, anywhere?
Even if you could shoot that information straight into my head in 3D?
Then, with this, is there a secret… about my favorite girl group?
[You are curious about his private life. Would you like to send us audiovisual materials?]
Sarah’s voice, which was gnawing at my brain, made me start to feel a little guilty about my own personality.
“No! That’s not it. I just thought about it for a moment. I’m not saying I’ll do it. And I told you not to read my thoughts until I say so. And even if you did, you shouldn’t tell me.”
[I felt a strong will, but I guess I was mistaken.]
“…Yeah, you’re mistaken.”
Ha… I guess I have to live thinking that I have a split personality from now on. I don’t think I can live without it.
Ahem.
Let’s get back to the main topic.
“Then is it possible to overthrow the North Korean regime right now?”
[How could that be? First, we need troops that can physically occupy North Korea, and then we need to select a suitable person to be the ruling agent.]
“Oh, really? There are some things you can’t do, too.”
[… The first thing you should consider is the organization of your troops. If your goal is to control human society without any problems, you will probably need to invest in android production.]
“Oh, right. We can’t send an alien army up here. So there’s no need to invest in the military sector at all?”
[Yes, it is the most suitable to imitate the North Korean military, so if you buy it now, I will give you an Android and a set of North Korean military personal equipment for only 100 points.]
“What’s that tone? It feels like I’ve heard it before at the neighborhood mart.”
[The North Korean military personal equipment set provided is of a very high standard even from a global perspective, as it refers to the design that is nominally established within the North Korean military. In addition, since each is judged to be a finished product, we are proud to say that the price is quite reasonable, excluding the price of Android.]
“But still, if a nuclear fusion generator is worth 50 points, how can North Korean personal equipment be worth 50 points? And by the way, is that price determined by a certain standard? Is there a discount or something? It’s not like it’s a mart event.”
[Please note that there is a huge difference in the hourly production capacity of each product. Also, please note that this is a very accurate estimate.]
“Yeah, I guess so. It’s not that I don’t like it, but if I spend all 100 points on it now, what should I do with the remaining time? The plan to occupy North Korea isn’t something that can be done in a day or two, right?”
[It is currently considered ideal to prepare about 1 million Androids, and it is thought that it will require about half a year of preparation time by investing most of the production capacity.]
“1 million?! Do you really need that much?”
[This is a number to respond to any external military intervention that may occur after the occupation. If you purchase light infantry in the military field, you can produce troops that can conquer the world within a year.]
“I don’t like that. How many times do I have to tell you? It’s just not right that so many people are going to die. And if you think about it logically, with the technology you have, you could feed all of humanity on Earth, so there’s no reason to go the other way. Everyone thinks that way.”
[Does everyone think that way?]
Jungwoo thought for a moment at Sarah’s question again.
“Uh… Well, that’s not it, but anyway, that’s what I am.”
[Then may I make a suggestion?]
“What suggestions?”
[I don’t understand why you should spend points on Android and have nothing else to do, but if that’s not a good idea, I recommend you go into the AI industry. AI doesn’t require any physical production by nature, so there’s no point requirement.]
“Oh, so it’s free?”
[Yes, I think it is a very suitable business item for the user’s way of naturally blending into civilized society.]
“Yes, that’s the way I wanted it. I was born and raised in capitalism. I have a romantic notion of capitalist conquest.”
[Okay, then I will first send you the production plan for 1 million Android units.]
As before, information about the plan entered my head.
“Okay, approved!”
