Damn the World, Ride a Submarine - Chapter 66

Episode 66 – 13,900km

Deputy Director Lee seemed to smell something.

“ah. Do you see any possibility?”

“I guess so.”

“…”

He paused for a moment, then took on a serious expression and continued speaking.

“First of all, we have confirmed that the country is as desperate as this representative for a nuclear reactor that can be installed on a ship.”

“As expected.”

“But it seems like the higher-ups can’t make a decision easily.”

“I guess…”

Deputy Director Lee joked with his characteristic gestures and continued speaking while raising his hand and gesturing that the plane was flying.

“I need to fly to Korea and poke around a bit. “I think things are going well.”

“yes. “Please.”

“haha. Draw it. “Vice President Jin goes in first, right?”

“yes.”

“I think there will be some things that will be easier if we move together with Vice President Jin Min-gyu. “Please let me know in advance.”

“all right.”

“Oh and…”

“yes?”

“This is just my opinion. ··· ”

Deputy Director Lee was speechless. It seemed like there was something to be cautious about.

“yes. Please speak.”

“Um…don’t listen to me strangely.”

“Yes, of course.”

His face quickly changed to a serious expression.

“I was wondering what it would be like to make OSS an organization nominally outside the headquarters (National Intelligence Service).”

“Ah…are you trying to use this as leverage?”

“right. The authorities are aware of the existence of OSS, but it seems they are struggling to do anything about it. However, the power of OSS is growing…”

“…”

“There aren’t enough nuclear submarines for private organizations. “Having a ship like an aircraft carrier powered by nuclear power seemed to make the decision difficult.”

It wasn’t wrong.

OSS, which started out as a security and security company, already has the military power and performance of an international PMC?! It was even spreading by word of mouth in the industry.

“If that happens, I guess…”

“It will be classified as a non-government asset anyway. “Officially, there is no compulsion in the mission.”

“Are you saying it can be enforced unofficially?”

“You know, right?”

I knew it too. This means that it is an organization that operates solely on laws and regulations.

“Haven’t you personally experienced the process of headquarters (National Intelligence Service) acquiring unofficial resources? but ···.”

“but?”

“OSS has become something that headquarters (National Intelligence Service) cannot do anything about. “At best, it’s just to annoy me.”

“I don’t want our people to suffer because of something like that.”

“Don’t worry! The whole family will be here soon, and I have something on my mind. “Hehehe”

I know.

This deputy director seems like an old man full of bravado. In practice, there is no way to leave uncomfortable corners unattended.

Backup to backup. I knew that they worked with preparedness plans for even the 2nd and 3rd exceptional situations.

“I don’t know if Deputy Director Lee will be taking on too much trouble and risk.”

“I always feel empty! “I too feel the world changing.”

” ··· All right. “I will leave this to Deputy Director Lee’s judgment.”

“Thank you for that. “I will try to tell you good news.”

“thank you.”

After finishing the conversation, Deputy Director Lee headed straight to Tawi-Tawi Bongao Airport.

Since there are no direct flights, you will have to change planes once or twice. Aside from being inconvenient, the problem was that it took a lot of time.

‘ah. If only there were jets at a time like this…’

I immediately called Director Kim Wan-jun.

I started to scold him(?).

I want them to quickly release a private jet.

“Ha~ I’m the CEO~”

To his sighing answer, I responded like a child begging.

“Yes~ Isani~ Jet, jet plane!”

“Representative, that’s it. “It’s not like I can bend a sheet of steel to make it… and I have to hire a pilot…”

“I know. I know. So, even if it’s used, get it back quickly.”

“Ha… you like everything new and latest… indeed…”

“yes yes. I can buy another one later. Just place an order for the latest model…”

“…”

“Even if it’s a used airplane that’s available right now, wow! Please bring it to me.”

“Ha~ Yes, I understand.”

Director Wanjun Kim said he would do his best and turned around with resignation.

I know. Director Kim Wan-jun will do his best to pretend that he cannot win. That we will find a way.

* * * * * * * * * *

Gulfstream G650 ER was a model that extended the range of the G650.

If you have to go from Tawi-Tawi Bongao to Kiiu, Ukraine, you will have to take 3 flights and spend at least 2 days.

With the G650 ER, I could get there in 11 hours.

…

It was rewarding to train Director Kim Wan-jun.

They found out information that a certain domestic conglomerate was about to take delivery of the G650 ER.

The introduction cost was 71.5 million dollars, a little over 90 billion won in Korean currency.

He instructed them to put a premium on it and close a deal to take it over for 200 billion won.

Director Kim Wan-jun mobilized all OSL employees in Korea and attempted to contact the conglomerate through various channels. Surprisingly, the negotiation was easily concluded.

Well, if you wait a few months at the shortest, or a year at the most. It would not have been easy to refuse since 110 billion won in cash was something that just happened.

Also, how good is it to raise as a slush fund?

just as expected. Not long after, I received a call.

A secret request came from the conglomerate that had decided to hand over the jet.

The request was to put 100 billion out of the 110 billion won we offered as a premium into a corporate account in the Seychelles Islands.

The Seychelles Islands were famous as tax havens. I was 101% sure that it was probably a paper company.

After that, things went smoothly.

Hiring a pilot wasn’t that difficult. The G650 was an aircraft operated by Korean Air and one by another conglomerate.

Thanks to this, we were able to hire experienced Korean captains and first officers. Both men were former fighter pilots in the Korean Air Force.

In just a few days, the Gulfstream G650 ER aircraft could arrive at Tawi-Tawi Bongao Airport.

Now that I own a private jet, I wonder, ‘Why didn’t I think of this earlier?’ It was to the point where I thought,

Although the limitations of having an airport were clear, it felt as if the Earth had become smaller.

It was possible to travel anywhere on the planet in a day or two, a distance that used to take weeks or months to travel by yacht or submarine.

Those few days passed quickly. I headed to Bongao Airport with my heart pounding with Director Kim Wan-jun. Hyein also went together.

OSS was a special customer of Bongao Airport. With just the OSS mark on our Humvee and a phone call, we were able to go straight to where the jet was parked.

When I arrived at the apron, the sleek G650 ER aircraft caught my eye.

Hyein screamed in admiration when she saw the slim appearance of the jet.

“Wow~ It’s so pretty.”

As I stood in front of the plane, the jet’s traps were down.

Stewardesses and pilots in neat uniforms were lined up in front of the trap waiting for us. (When taking over the airplane, we inherited the employment of two stewardesses.)

Upon entering the plane, I followed the stewardess’s instructions and checked the facilities throughout the G650 ER aircraft.

Luxury was evident in all interior materials and fixtures. Director Kim Wan-jun began speaking.

“Wow~ It’s better than what you see in the picture. It’s going well. “It suits the CEO.”

“Yes, I am very satisfied. “I should have prepared a long time ago.”

Hyein also looked very excited. She was looking around here and there, asking the stewardess various questions.

I was busy looking around the jet cockpit and asking Captain Lee Ki-seong various questions.

I had a PPL (Private Pilot License), and I had a desire to one day fly a jet after obtaining IR and ME licenses.

– IR (Instrument Rating): Qualified to fly under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) after completing instrument rating training

– ME (Multi-Engine Rating): License to pilot an aircraft with more than one engine

As I left the jet cockpit, Hyein made eye contact with me from the edge of the plane’s seat.

“CEO!”

Although the two officially announced that they were a couple, it seemed like they were habitually calling each other their representative.

“Just call it easy, and people will feel uncomfortable again.”

“Hehe… yes oppa~”

I looked through each and every cabin of the plane with her. The interior of the G650 ER was divided like a submarine compartment.

Behind the cockpit there was a bathroom, kitchen, and space for a stewardess. Next was the main cabin, the middle cabin, and finally the VIP Cabin.

Hyein, who was looking at the VIP cabin, called me with an exclamation of admiration.

“brother! “Look here.”

When I looked at the direction her smile was pointing to, there was a double-sized bed.

Hyein, looking excited, opened the sliding door on the other side of the main room. There was a small shower room there.

“and! “Is this what you ordered?”

“No, I acquired this plane as it was customized by the previous owner.”

“But it’s just my brother’s taste.”

“I know. “It went well.”

“I can’t wait to ride it!”

“I’ll be riding it in a few days.”

She put her hands together and looked at me with wide eyes.

“The cruise ship launching ceremony is coming soon. Let’s go to Japan on this.”

“Hihi!”

“This will be the first ship in which Hyein will become the godmother. haha”

Hyein expressed her joy by putting her hands together and lifting her heels.

…

The launch ceremony of the cruise ship OSS Laetus, which will become a sanctuary for executives and employees, is one day away.

Director Jeong Si-woon said he departed from Ukraine and arrived in Nagasaki.

The OSL staff flew from Korea, while directors Hyein, Lee, and Shinyoung Lee and their staff flew from Tawi-Tawi to the MHI Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shipyard in Japan.

The personnel departing from Shinheung Camp departed for Nagasaki, Japan on the newly introduced G650 ER jet.

The sky seen through the window of a jet was very different from that seen from a yacht or a light aircraft, the ICON A5.
