Episode 35 – give warning

Director Kim Wan-jun also seemed to realize something when he heard that our main camp, Shinheung Camp itself, could become dangerous.

“All right. The OSS team looks busy. Is that why it is like that?”

“yes. “We were prepared for every situation.”

“All right.

After finishing the phone call, I immediately went to see director Kim Jun-myeong. He also approached me looking nervous.

“Director, the Shinheung Camp OSS team will have plenty of night vision goggles, right?”

“yes. “The latest 4-inch model is available.”

“Please prepare for a retaliatory annihilation operation.”

Director Kim Jun-myeong answered in a low but solemn voice as if he had expected it.

“yes. “I’m ready.”

“It would be better to operate at night to minimize our damage.”

“All right. “I think the same.”

“Once the MILF rebel base is confirmed, it will be implemented immediately.”

He answered by placing his right fist on his chest, over his heart. It was the OSS way of saluting.

“yes!”

“The name of the operation is give warning.”

“Please check the rules of engagement.”

I thought about it for a while.

If there is a sword in front of you, you have to be prepared to die to survive. If you hesitate, you die. He looked into Director Kim Jun-myeong’s eyes and spoke in a stern tone.

“If the enemy is identified, kill immediately.”

“… All right.”

Director Kim Jun-myeong continued speaking as if he remembered something.

“But shouldn’t the bitcoins given to the rebels be recovered?”

“Never mind that. A promise is a promise. “This is not an operation to recover compensation already paid.”

“…”

“It doesn’t matter if Bitcoin disappears. Operation success! The purpose is to warn through punishment and retaliation.”

“The representative’s will. understand. “We will do our best in the operation.”

“Please hand over the surviving prisoners to the local government. If we’re lucky, the Bitcoin will also be owned by the Mindanao autonomous government.”

After finishing the conversation, Director Kim Jun-myeong looked busy, going back and forth between his laptop and phone.

The Alpha Team gathered at the house clearly expressed regret over not being able to participate in this operation.

I was full of tension and anger and felt frustrated.

It was very disappointing that we had not prepared in advance a means to view the operational situation in real time. That made me even more worried.

After the operation was completed, I had no choice but to receive video from the body camera and scope camera.

Time passed in vain in tension and fear.

The phone rang. Kim Wan-jun was the director. He intuitively thought it was important news.

Director Kim Jun-myeong and I looked at each other’s faces. Director Kim gave me a wink as if telling me to hurry up and take it.

“I found the representative.”

“Have you found the MILF base?”

“yes. The one billion peso bounty worked.”

“is it so?”

“The MILF rebels who were secretly operating within the local government converted and handed over all the information.”

“It went well. Fortunately, the.”

“Then I will connect you with director Kim Jun-myeong.”

“yes.”

“Ah, Director! “At this time, please also notify the local government that OSS plans to possess armed patrol ships.”

“ah. all right ···.”

Director Kim Jun-myeong, who received the phone, opened his laptop and was checking the operation while making a three-way call with team leader Park Il-rim.

It felt like it was out of my hands now.

I went outside and lit a cigarette.

– Phew ~

‘Am I good at it?’

…

Another day passed by, fearful and tense. Director Kim Jun-myeong approached and reported the preparation status.

“CEO!”

“yes”

“We have completed verification of the information received and its appropriateness. “Preliminary reconnaissance has been completed.”

“Is everything ready?”

“yes. “We are on standby for dispatch.”

“What is the current moon age of Tawi-Tawi?”

“Tonight is the new moon, and tomorrow is a full new moon.”

“Start operation tomorrow night. “Please leave the operation time to the discretion of the field team.”

“yes. All right.”

After finishing his story, Director Kim Jun-myeong picked up the phone and the sound of a call could be heard.

“Team Leader Park! The roles of PL (Platoon Leader) and RM (Radio Man) are important for cooperation between teams. Pay special attention. “I ask you to do so secretly, slowly, and gently.”

The tension was evident on Director Kim Jun-myeong’s face after he hung up the phone.

“CEO!”

He held up two fingers and winked. It was a moment when he had to use the power of a cigarette to shake off the tension.

We went out to the dock outside the house. A hazy smoke flowed between the sea and the sky.

– Hmm… Phew ~

‘It’ll be fine, right?’ The words lingered only in my heart.

The sun was already setting.

The sun, fully revealed between the sky and the sea, was filling the whole world with red light.

Even the hot stars that were too dazzling to look at. At that moment when it was setting over the horizon, it was revealing itself completely and clearly.

Go around the other side of this land. Tomorrow, it will return to a state so dazzling that it will be impossible to look at it again.

It clearly imprints the image of a hot star that emits its own light.

There is no doubt about the sun of tomorrow.

The direction of the North Star is not wrong.

I recalled Caesar’s words.

‘The die is cast, and the Rubicon has been crossed.’

I decided to erase any doubts I had about my decision. By putting those doubts in the red burning flame of a cigarette and the cigarette smoke flowing into the air.

That’s how I had to regain my peace of mind and coolness.

…

D-day has come.

Director Kim Jun-myeong looked very busy from the morning. It was difficult to even find a moment for me to speak.

Perhaps sensing this atmosphere, Alpha Team agents also seemed to be careful about their every little move.

I was curious about the details of the operation, but I waited for him to call me first. I didn’t want to cloud his judgment with my few words.

Wait a while. he called me

“CEO. “Let’s watch this together.”

He opened his mouth and pointed at the laptop screen.

There, along with a map, there was a video showing the surroundings of the camp in the jungle. It was enough to guess that it was the rebels’ camp.

“What is this?”

“This is a video of the Delta team lurking in the operation area and reconnoitering it.”

“Oh… it looks like a drone video. “Isn’t there a risk of exposure?”

“it’s okay. “This video was filmed with the PD-100 Black Hornet, which was introduced just before leaving Sinheung Camp.”

“Please explain further”

“yes. “It’s a so-called bug drone used by U.S. special forces.”

“A bug drone?”

“It is an ultra-small reconnaissance drone weighing 18g.”

“Wow! “This is my first time seeing this too. How can I do something like this?”

“A former Devguru agent on the Delta team strongly recommended it, so we were able to adopt it in advance.”

“Oh oh”

“Also, if it weren’t for the CEO’s active financial support. It would have been the pie in the picture. “An 18g unit costs over 40,000 dollars or 50 million won.”

“Fortunately, the. Relief! How many do you have now?”

“A total of 3 units are deployed.”

“Please deploy at least two units per team in the future, and I would like to have one myself.”

“all right.”

The Black Hornet P-100, a nano UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle), was an ultra-small drone developed by Norway’s Proxy Dynamics.

It was a lightweight aircraft weighing 18g and was equipped with not only a regular camera but also a thermal imaging camera. It was an aircraft that could fly more than 1km in 25 minutes.

It could truly be called a reconnaissance device for special forces.

Director Kim Jun-myeong’s explanation of the operational plan continued.

“CEO!”

“Say yes.”

“Do you remember what you said earlier about things not going as planned during actual operations?”

“Ah… it was like that… “Don’t worry too much about it.”

“no. “I planned a well-thought-out strategy, taking into account every possible contingency I could imagine.”

He took a deep breath and spoke calmly with a serious expression and determination.

“CEO! “This time, I will make sure to carry out the operation as planned.”

Seeing Director Kim Jun-myeong’s calm yet solemn appearance made me feel both grateful and moved.

“thank you. Thank you.”

I also answered by placing my right fist over my heart.

He then explained the operation in detail, including the structure of the MILF base, expected escape route, ambush location, firing line design, observation angle of each gunner, and mutual cover range for each team.

After completing the explanation of the operation, Team Leader Kim Jun-myeong appeared to be having a final phone call with Team Leader Park Il-rim.

“…As of the present time, all control and command of the OSS operation team is delegated to Team Leader Park. We wish you good luck until the next communication after the operation is completed. “Communication ended.”

As he stood up after finishing the call, I could feel his eyes turning to the sky for a moment.

…

Waiting until H-hour was a long and tedious time filled with anxiety.

When the time finally came we were all just staring at our phones.

– Tiririk Tiriririk

Director Kim Wan-jun’s name appeared on my phone, and it rang. I put the call on speaker phone.

– Tu-tu-tu-tung kuku-ku-dung tu-dung tu-dung

The first sound I heard from the phone was a gunshot echoing in the distance. It was a bit louder than the sound that was described as sounding like roasting beans.

“CEO! “The operation has begun.”

Director Kim Jun-myeong swallowed his saliva and shouted into the speaker phone.

“Director! “What did the first gunshot sound like and how many shots were there?”

“After three low-pitched thuds, heavy gunfire began.”

Director Kim Jun-myeong’s expression showed relief. The sound of gunfire was so close that I was worried about Director Kim Wan-jun’s safety.

“Director Wanjun. Are you too close to the operational area? Please move to a safe place.”

Director Kim Wan-jun continued the call as if shouting in a hoarse voice.

“I am safe. “We are with the local government military and police.”

“yes?”

“The situation changed so quickly that I couldn’t tell you.”

“…”

“Even though the local government is not participating in the operation, we have deployed two battalions on the outskirts of the operation area in case of an emergency.”

“Fortunately, the. “If there is any change in the situation, please contact me immediately.”

“yes. All right.”

End the call. An anxious time followed. Director Kim Jun-myeong and Alpha Team were all just standing there in silence.

I walk around the living room restlessly. I just went outside, smoked a cigarette, and came back in again and again.

Time continued to pass without any promise.

.

.

.

– Tiriririk

I picked up the phone as if fishing for it. The moment he saw Director Kim Wan-jun’s name, his heart started pounding.

“Mr…. Representative!”

“Director!”

“Uuuhuhuhuh…”

I could hear him sobbing through the phone.

I realized again that this is what it feels like to have your heart sinking.
