Episode 131 – Small Waves

If a Chinese or Russian fighter jet enters North Korean airspace, it will enter South Korean airspace within 15 minutes.

It was not important to increase North Korea’s air force power.

Only when the early warning system is activated in North Korean airspace, can the defense systems of ESSO, including South Korea and the Far East Republic, be activated and time for the kill chain to be activated be secured.

The changed world situation has made North Korea a shield and buffer zone for South Korea and Northeast Asia.

“If South Korea opposes air force support, I will suppress it. And this is a measure taken at the level of the ESSO defense force. They have no authority or power to say anything.”

“Your Majesty, you are cool.”

“Still, given the situation, there is a need to ease tensions between the North and the South a little more.”

“Yes. Reduce the number of troops at the ceasefire line by half.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea. South Korean public opinion is also important, so I hope you make an official announcement in a nice way.”

“I am sorry, I am sorry. I will follow your will, Lord.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

This made it possible for OSS’s E-9E early warning aircraft to fly over North Korean airspace.

It was intended to prepare for threats from China in North Korea, which has no advanced reconnaissance assets.

The fact that OSS reconnaissance aircraft were freely entering and leaving North Korean airspace was a huge development.

This incident made it possible to believe that North Korea had definitely turned to the ESSO camp, and confirmed how desperate Kim Jong-un was.

…

North Korean residents in concentration camps and reeducation camps.

In effect, OSS ships began to set sail one by one to pick up the third-class citizens of the republic that North Korea was releasing.

It was a massive operation that transported 100,000 people to the Tawi Tawi new camp and into the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The name of the operation was . For some reason, I liked the simple name. I wanted to hide the size of the hope and desire that I didn’t want to lose in a small and tiny way.

Operation was to consist of 28 large convoy ships, accompanied by a separate escort fleet of about 10 ships.

A large-scale convoy operation comparable to the Hungnam evacuation operation during the Korean War began.

14 cruise ships, including nine newly acquired cruise ships in Europe and five ships that were refurbished after replenishing existing cruise ships.

Four nuclear ESB mobile base ships and five similar nuclear supply ships completed construction at Okpo Shipyard

And all of our hospital ships, OSS Mercy 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, were mobilized.

The escort group consisted of the 2nd Assault Group, 3 patrol ships, 2 destroyers, and 1 air defense cruiser, all equipped with the Aegis system. It was followed by an amphibious assault ship, a logistics support ship, and a separate supply ship.

Because it wasn’t just about transporting people, a large number of volunteers lined up to participate.

Support was provided by OSS staff and their families, Korean civic groups, and NGO activists from each region.

– NGO (non-governmental organization): Non-governmental organization

It was only natural that this massive movement would become a global concern.

Reporters from various countries flocked to the ship, but we refused to let them board.

However, they chartered separate ships and followed the fleet. There was no stopping them.

CNN ended up broadcasting the parade of “Little Waves” live.

Dozens of ships were scattered across the horizon on the TV screen.

The broadcast camera zoomed out and showed the scene in a wide view. The camera turned the angle and focused on the reporter’s face for a close-up.

…

People watching the news on the bridge each said something.

– I wonder if Kim Jong-un will change his mind because this is so much of a fuss…

– no way ···.

– I can’t do that. I think you know better what happens if you break a promise.

– That’s right. Our commander-in-chief is a very kind and considerate person, but if a promise is broken, whether it’s a person, a group, or a country, there’s no way to just let it go… Jeong-eun will watch the news too…

– By the way. The media from each country is making such a fuss about it. Isn’t our Commander-in-Chief receiving the Nobel Prize?

– I don’t think it would be strange at all if the Commander-in-Chief received it. Haha.

– Hmm, but it’s a bit strange for a war commander to receive the Peace Prize…

– Hey! I don’t know what you’re talking about.

– Henry Kissinger, who bombed Cambodia, received it after signing a ceasefire with Vietnam, and so did Menachem Begin, who fought a brutal war with Egypt.

– And Yitzhak Rabin, the former Israeli Chief of Staff, also received the Nobel Peace Prize.

– Wow, you know a lot.

– I just looked it up and read it to you. Hahaha.

The conversation between the officers and non-commissioned officers watching the news on the bridge continued.

– Anyway, our Commander-in-Chief says that rescuing 100,000 North Korean citizens is enough.

– It wouldn’t be surprising if you were awarded the Nobel Prize for turning North Korea, the powder keg of Northeast Asia, into a normal country.

– But, even if the Nobel Committee selects you as the winner, you won’t accept it, Commander.

– That’s true. You haven’t done a single interview so far. Maybe the meeting with Kim Jong-un was really forced.

– Anyway, in the meantime, private military companies have created international organizations… The talk about mercenaries controlling the country has completely disappeared. Haha.

…

It was estimated that it would take more than two weeks just to get the North Koreans on board the Little Wave fleet.

First, the first group of ESB mobile base ships, which can quickly board and move, departed for the new camp together with the escort group.

To ensure the smooth execution of the operation, it was planned to land the first group of ships, whose living conditions were somewhat uncomfortable, in the nearby Philippines and rejoin them.

passed through the East Sea and the South Sea, the East China Sea, and returned to the Philippine Sea in the Pacific Ocean, arriving at Tawi Tawi Island.

The first group of North Korean residents began to disembark at the dock at the new camp.

The expressions on the faces of the North Korean people disembarking from the ship were filled with fear of the unknown.

It was heartbreaking.

After escaping from the frozen North Korea and arriving at the new camp, they had no choice but to be held in a communal concentration camp again.

I could imagine how the American soldiers felt when they discovered Auschwitz but were unable to provide it with food and water.

OSS staff, their families, and volunteers from South Korea served the North Korean people with dedication and devotion.

Through their patient efforts, we could see that the hearts of the North Korean people were gradually melting.

And the warm weather of Mindanao, which was clearly different from North Hamgyong Province in North Korea, seemed to embrace them.

Looking at that sight, my heart seemed to melt as well.

The first group of the operation left the North Korean people behind and headed back to Rajin Port. It consisted of ESB mobile base ships and nine supply ships.

At Rajin Port, personnel classification, health checkups, and patient treatment were carried out simultaneously with the boarding of the second group.

This was possible because there were 14 cruise ships and 5 hospital ships.

When the ESB ship arrived at Rajin Port, it picked up all the remaining people who were waiting there.

and

A ‘little wave’ began to spread as all ships departed for the Pacific.

The primary objective of Operation was to sail to the Marshall Islands.

The Marshall Islands were closer than Kiribati, but were 7,000 km away from the North Korean port of Rajin.

The operation fleet headed to a new land, the Marshall Islands.

It was impossible to dump 100,000 people taken out from North Korea into Kiribati OSS-LAND at once. So

It was decided to use the island that had been purchased to be used as a supply base for the OSS as a temporary shelter for social adaptation. It was also judged to be a good environment for a settlement.

A few months ago, I had instructed Director Kim Wan-jun to look for an island that could be used as a transit port and supply base for the fleet. The purchase and land development had just been completed.

Of the many islands in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, four were purchased or leased as being environmentally sound. (Bikini Atoll, where the first nuclear test was conducted, is in the Marshall Islands.)

Among the acquired islands, Jaluit, Arno and Mili atolls were 15 to 11 km² in size.

Ailuk Atoll is small, about 5.4 km², but was purchased because of its beautiful environment and lagoon.

– Republic of the Marshall Islands: Population 59,000. A small country made up of 1,156 islands.

– The Chinese attempted to purchase the Marshall Islands and establish a nation, but were expelled and put on trial due to American intervention.

The fleet carrying out Operation also carried materials and equipment to build a new camp.

North Koreans would live on cruise ships for the time being while they build their nests in new lands.

They would also be helping build the OSS Marshall base, and some of them would be employed in the munitions factories and shipyards of OSS-LAND in Kiribati.

Healing, stabilization, and re-socialization of the mind and body began on board the moving ship.

The task force arrived in the Marshall Islands over the course of 15 days. Although it was a short period of time, the North Korean people were quickly finding stability.

That would be the case.

These were people who had been living in poor conditions in political prison camps and reeducation camps located all over North Korea, starting with the famous Aoji.

They were deeply moved by even the smallest favors and good deeds, and the media and broadcasting, from which they had been cut off, were now explaining everything to them.
