Chapter 287: Taking the Banquet Table (1)
“Humans are truly interesting.”
As Ha Soo-young giggled, Jeong Seo-hee, who had been taking refuge, asked anxiously.
“Ms. Sooyoung, aren’t you worried about this situation right now?”
Now, Jang Hyo-joo, Jeong Seo-hee, Mireah, and Romanov were taking refuge in the Cheongdam-dong mansion.
Because there was a high possibility that he would be kidnapped and used as negotiation material.
Jeon Seong-ryeol, who was banned from leaving the country, also stayed at home with his family under house arrest. He sent Rohan there to prepare for any eventuality.
“It’s funny. Well, I didn’t do much about it, but it self-destructed so massively. How is it that it doesn’t change every time?”
“How about we all escape to America together for a while?”
As expected from someone from the CIA, Mireya recommended going to the United States.
Romanov, a native of Russia, also came out in favor.
“No matter how close and powerful the United States is to you, if your own government is determined to enslave you, you cannot win within that country’s territory. Whether it’s the United States or anywhere else, I think that you will be safe if you leave Korea first.”
“Romanov has a point. At the very least, we should get out of Seoul. How about moving to the naval base?”
The Marine Corps special forces that arrived in a hurry surrounded the mansion like an iron wall, but they would be helpless if public power was fully deployed.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, which had military command authority, was paralyzed, and the Navy had already taken a bold step by simply dispatching the Marine Corps.
Although Ha Su-yeong is a naval admiral, he does not have military command authority and cannot issue operational orders to his units.
“Master, it seems that the purpose of the raid on the Joint Chiefs of Staff was to induce the Master to issue operational instructions to the Navy.”
“It’s an obvious trick. They’re trying to arrest me for giving operational orders when I don’t have the authority to command them. This time, the prosecution won’t come alone, but will probably come with the Army Special Forces.”
“The Blue House and the National Assembly are currently in a situation where they are having difficulty identifying each other due to internal divisions.”
Most of the prosecution tried to arrest Ha Soo-young, but internally, Im Tak-jeong and the young prosecutors following him arrested the chief prosecutor and other high-ranking officials.
The court tends to follow the prosecution’s wishes, but as the stakes have become too high, it is cautiously cautious for fear of unnecessary retaliation.
Ruling party leader Lee Yong-sik has been strengthening anti-government forces within the prosecution service by keeping the president in check due to the upcoming prime ministerial election.
The president, who was furious at Lee Yong-sik, tried to support Ha Soo-young, but the anti-imtakjeong prosecutors showed their courage by having the Minister of Justice arrested.
The president, who was a former army general, completely lost control of the prosecution and was eventually forced to move the army.
This is because even if they try to move the special police force, they are being blocked by the anti-government prosecutors.
‘The first cabinet system prime minister is Rep. Lee Yong-sik. He supports our prosecution and believes in a president who has less than four years left, and then later wants to disband the entire police force?’
In response to these threats, high-ranking police officers began to grit their teeth and pretend not to hear the president’s instructions.
“But didn’t you say that the Army doesn’t like Sooyoung very much?”
“Well, that’s true. I didn’t really contribute much to the Army.”
“You wouldn’t come to arrest Suyeong just because I didn’t give you support, would you?”
“But I helped soldiers who suffered physical and mental harm while serving in the military and filed several lawsuits against the state. As a result, there are some officers, generals, and executives who failed to get promoted or were stripped of their jobs because of their poor performance evaluations.”
“…….”
“The Navy had no problems because I gave freedom to all soldiers and eradicated absurdity and cruelty through real-time surveillance, but the Army doesn’t do that. The Air Force gave freedom to all soldiers because they were concerned about my feelings for the fighter jets, and the same thing happened.”
“Why did you only disappoint the army…….”
“The Army is the largest and most useless, and the most corrupt. It’s a sight to behold. Now is the time to move toward a space force, or more precisely, a space force system, centered around the Navy. We need to get rid of things like the 600,000-strong Army quickly.”
Just then a gunshot rang out in the distance.
It was clearly the sound of a rifle firing, not a pistol.
Ha Soo-young laughed loudly and clapped her hands loudly.
“It’s a mess. It’s a mess. It’s just a mess.”
“Are we okay?”
“It’ll be okay, because they won’t be able to bring tanks into Cheongdam-dong. And don’t worry, we have countermeasures.”
“Really? Do you have any countermeasures?”
“yes.”
Ha Soo-young continued speaking, laughing so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.
“It’s a countermeasure that I don’t want to use if possible.”
***
The commander of the water defense force reaffirmed the president’s order and strengthened his resolve.
-There is no unit in the army right now that I can completely trust except for the Water Defense Command.
The commander knows why.
The President, who was an Army veteran, betrayed the expectations of the entire Army. Or rather, did not listen to them enough.
He focused more on consolidating his political influence than on improving the army.
He was elected by appealing to the public as a defense expert, and as soon as he became president, what he did was to push for a constitutional amendment for a cabinet system and to lay the groundwork for running for the next prime minister.
In the process, the president gave Ha Soo-young various benefits in return.
In return, I thought I would get something like support for the army, but I literally handed it over and received nothing.
No, I did receive something.
Ha Soo-young did not put any brakes on the president’s efforts to solidify his political ambitions, such as the cabinet system amendment. He pretended not to know about it, as if it was not his business.
If Ha Soo-young felt that the president’s strengthening of power was a threat to him, he would have put the brakes on it in some way, and the constitutional amendment would have failed miserably.
The president handed over power to various basic industries such as electricity and telecommunications, meaning, “I can be your friend, not your enemy.”
-I am concerned that there are subversive forces within the army that may threaten Cheongdam-dong. I am ordering the water defense command to be thoroughly protected.
The president is concerned about the faction of Rep. Lee Yong-sik, his political comrade and biggest enemy.
In some ways, Lee Yong-sik is closer to and communicates with Army personnel than the president.
If we predict that Lee Yong-sik will move in the opposite direction of the president’s own actions, it is only natural that he will show hostile actions toward Ha Soo-young.
Just then the phone rang.
[Senior Lee Yong-sik]
The commander slowly pressed the call button to answer the phone.
“Yes, Commander Go Jeong-man.”
-Have you made up your mind?
“Senior, it’s too dangerous. In this day and age, it could easily be mistaken for a coup d’état.”
-I know. But an opportunity like this will never come again.
Lee Yong-sik calmly persuaded his junior.
-This is a golden opportunity that we never thought of. Who would have thought that those stupid prosecutors would preemptively raid Cheongdam-dong with such an absurd search and seizure?
They are people who spent their youth locked in their rooms and memorized only law codes and precedents, so they don’t know how the world works.
If I had even a minimal understanding of strategy, I wouldn’t have done such a ridiculous and crazy thing.
Thanks to this, spectators were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become players.
– It’s not a bad choice to follow the president’s will. There’s nothing to lose. The prosecution will collapse, and Chairman Ha Soo-young will do even better. The army will continue to be treated with cold rice, and one day it will be reduced to a ‘navy land force’.
“…….”
Although I was angry, I couldn’t object to the pessimistic prediction of my senior from the military academy.
– But if we move boldly now, we can secure not only the prosperous future of the Army, but also the power of this country. I will say it again. This opportunity will never come again.
A force as powerful as the prosecution has been digging on a large scale, and this has led to internal division. As a result, Lee Yong-sik has been able to freely use more than half of the prosecution.
An opportunity that will never come again, like flipping a few coins without thinking and having them all land squarely on the floor.
“Do you have a justification?”
-The players will make it soon. We can join then. You can check it out in the news.
The phone hung up, and a few moments later a breaking news message appeared.
-The prosecution attempted to arrest Admiral Ha Soo-young on the grounds that he had deployed Marine Corps special forces to his home for private security despite not having military command authority. In response, the Marine Corps special forces threatened to shoot and chase away the prosecution team that attempted to arrest him.
That was the excuse.
It didn’t matter whether the Marines actually used their firearms.
It was not even time to debate whether the gunshots were a fabrication by the prosecution or not.
The turning point that can prevent the future in which the 600,000-strong Army is reduced to 300,000, 100,000, and eventually degenerate into a naval land force will never return after today passes.
The commander saluted politely at the picture of the current president hanging on the wall and then said:
“I’m sorry, senior. I choose the future of the Army.”
The table that the prosecution overturned while trying to prepare it too harshly.
After the army cleans it up again, they will monopolize all the cooking.
“We’re going out.”
***
Armored vehicles and transport vehicles lined up on the road and entered the city.
The police, who received the message from Lee Yong-sik, controlled the roads and made it easy for military vehicles to move.
The soldiers trembled with anxiety at the mention of an actual operation.
In particular, I was excited when I heard that the destination was the Navy Admiral’s residence in Cheongdam-dong.
“Is it true that the Navy broke into the mansion and took Admiral Ha Soo-young hostage? We’re going to suppress it?”
“Fuck. Even if I really can’t do it, a lot of people will die.”
“It doesn’t make sense. Why is the Navy suppressing the Admiral? They should have just protected him instead. It’s so inconsistent.”
Naturally, the soldiers were given information control.
It won’t do the soldiers any good if they know the truth. It’ll just lower their morale.
At least until the Marines are suppressed.
After the unit is eliminated, the prosecution will secure Ha Soo-young’s body and then the game will be over.
Finally, the army unit surrounded the Cheongdam-dong mansion from all sides.
In the sky, attack helicopters hovered, waiting in case of emergency.
The commander of the water defense unit prayed that there would never be a need to use that helicopter unit.
Considering that there has been no contact from the Blue House yet, it seems that they are mistaken in thinking that troops have been deployed to protect Ha Soo-young.
“What is the enemy’s armament status?”
The Water Defense Command has designated the Marine Corps Special Forces as the enemy.
“At best, it’s probably firearms. Maybe machine guns. I don’t see any Vulcans, but they could be placed indoors.”
“Well, if we just throw it in, there’ll be a lot of casualties.”
“Isn’t a quick solution more important than damage?”
Eyes sparkling with anticipation of success.
The commander felt uneasy, wondering if he too had the same look in his eyes.
That was when.
“Commander! Suspicious people are approaching, no, not people! Androids! Androids are approaching!”
The surprised commander leaned out of the armored vehicle to check.
Android Freedoms, seemingly from nowhere, were approaching from all directions.
Hundreds? No, it seems like far more than thousands.
Moreover, the number was still increasing.
“Everyone is armed!”
Even if they were called weapons, they were worthless.
Things that can be easily found in an average household, such as baseball bats, cleaning brooms, and golf clubs. No sharp objects like kitchen knives were seen at all.
They were all holding everyday items that could be used as blunt weapons.
The commander was nervous.
Androids’ motor skills far surpass those of humans.
If we went into close combat with that many numbers, we would have been thrown into unnecessary confusion. If we were unlucky, our ranks might have collapsed.
“Shoot! Shoot it!”
Bang! Tata tang! Tata tang!
After the order was given, a loud gunshot was heard, and the androids at the forefront fell down with holes all over them.
Even if he was an android, he was no match for a rifle. That was when the commander let out a sigh of relief.
“Commander! They’ve taken out their shields!”
“what?”
The androids, who had stepped over the fallen androids, took out metal shields that looked to be about 2 meters long and wide, lined up, and repeatedly approached the battle line.
“Shoot! Keep shooting!”
The terrified commander gave the order to fire, and rifle bullets flew without stopping.
However, despite being hit directly by the incredible kinetic energy of a 5.56mm bullet, the shield did not even get a scratch.
“Machine gun! Fire the machine gun!”
The commander became lost in thought and shouted at the top of his lungs.
