Chapter 291 Pax Cheongdam-dong (4)
A basic consensus was reached.
The ambassadors gathered here attended with that level of authority guaranteed.
Ha Soo-young has influence that goes beyond the President of South Korea, so he can’t make excuses like, “Actually, we don’t have the authority” when he comes all the way to Japan.
“I will move to make China a permanent member of the Security Council. Please do not interfere, and use it well to prevent Japan from becoming a normal country.”
“We in Spain are in favor of the agreement reached here.”
“Italy agrees.”
“Mexico too… …
The five countries expressed their agreement one after another.
Although one checkpoint has been passed, the informal talks are not over yet.
“But if China and Korea actually become permanent members of the Security Council, wouldn’t the agreement that our coffee club had established from the beginning collapse?”
When the Argentine ambassador spoke jokingly, Ha Soo-young also giggled and responded.
“If that happens, I am sure your people will be lost in pleasant imaginations about what a great gift of gratitude I will give to the five countries gathered here.”
“I’m suddenly excited about this. I want to see China become a permanent member of the Security Council, if only to see what kind of gift they will give me.”
“Haha, I also really want to convey my gratitude to your country. Even if you can’t become a permanent member, if you help me diligently, how could I forget your kindness?”
Everyone chatted happily, jokingly, about ‘what kind of gift could it be?’
None of the ambassadors thought that China and South Korea would actually become permanent members of the Security Council.
It may be possible to somehow obtain the approval of Britain, France, and the United States.
However, China will definitely vote against it, and Russia will also abstain if it wants to, but will not vote in favor.
At the very least, Russia’s abstention is required to somehow get the resolution passed as a permanent member.
No matter how much the Coffee Club squeezes out to help, it is impossible to move China and Russia.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what Japan will do the moment we leave the Teikoku Hotel.”
“Haven’t they already planted all sorts of wiretapping devices in this hotel?”
“Don’t worry about that. As I said before, it’s perfectly soundproof.”
“The Japanese government will probably have trouble sleeping tonight because they are curious about what we talked about.”
“Can we really reach the conclusion that this is a meeting regarding the agenda of the standing committee?”
A meeting between Ha Su-young and five countries including Spain.
Even if the analyst only reads the identity of the coffee club, he has done a great job.
On the surface, it seemed like a combination close to a mess, so it was easy to dismiss it as Ha Su-young’s attempt to start a food business targeting Europe and South America again.
“Anyway, the moment China and South Korea take action, Japan will also find out. That we met as a permanent member of the Security Council and reached an agreement behind the scenes.”
“I guess you think the congressman is trying to win support for our coffee club on behalf of China and Korea, just like Japan does.”
“I can’t even imagine that your real purpose is to block your own constitutional amendments.”
The friendly atmosphere was briefly silenced by Ha Su-young’s sudden remark.
“Actually, it would be okay if Japan becomes a normal country. Then, there would be ways to enjoy it accordingly.”
The ambassadors felt a sense of relief for the first time today.
Before taking full-scale action, Ha Soo-young called Jang Hyo-joo, Jeong Seo-hee, Romanoff, and Mireah together and conveyed her instructions.
“From now on, travel to China, Russia, Japan, Vietnam, and Myanmar is prohibited.”
“Are you trying to do something big?”
CIA White Agent Mireya responded calmly.
“I can never set foot on Russian soil again anyway. I don’t have any big regrets though.”
Romanov shrugged and answered in Korean, his pronunciation much more fluent than before.
“Our swimming group, including the Pan Swimming Group, has not visited any of those countries except Japan. Whether it’s for travel or anything else. The same goes for the executives’ families. Now, we can add Japan.”
After Jeong Seo-hee’s words, Jang Hyo-ju spoke last.
“I’ve been getting a lot of calls from China lately. They’re asking for ridiculously high appearance fees. Does that mean there’s some kind of ulterior motive?”
“You could be important hostages. From now on, if possible, do not leave Korea, no, Seoul. Except when you are with me.”
“But aren’t there dangerous places in Seoul that are dangerous?”
“Seoul is fine.”
“The four of us sometimes go to a swimming pension to play, so why don’t you do that too?”
“I’ll attach the Queen Stallion, so move it. Let’s be careful in everything.”
Only then did the four women’s expressions become more serious and heavy.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Sooyoung so careful.”
“Taking women hostage in a despicable way is a timeless cliché that has persisted throughout history. As a man, I can’t seem to break that cliché.”
“But Seoul, are you sure it’s safe?”
“Yes. There are about 100,000 Android Freedom devices installed. And more than 95% of them are Freedom users.”
“It’s not 100,000 units, it’s 130, 181 units. That’s the number of Androids that exist in Seoul.”
When Freedom intervened in the middle and corrected them, the four women opened their eyes wide in admiration.
“Wow, there are that many?”
“At this point, if Mr. Suyeong wanted to, wouldn’t he be able to take over the entire Seoul by force?”
rAndroid Freedom is not 100% bulletproof. It can be easily disabled by firearms such as a submachine gun. There is an alloy shield for protection against that, though.
“Anyway, at that level, it would be really safe in Seoul.”
“So that’s why they’re advertising that the crime rate in Seoul has decreased these days.”
Since the introduction of Freedom and Android, South Korea, especially Seoul, has seen a dramatic drop in the success rate of crime.
Here’s one of the most notorious serial killer botches of the year.
Although he is a Freedom user, he has always acted thoroughly in front of Freedom for fear of his past being revealed.
That day too, before attempting a crime, he prepared a thorough alibi.
He pretended to go to a bar like usual, turned off his phone, and went out to look for a target for his crime.
This way, Freedom would not have to wonder, ‘Why did you turn off the phone with such an inconsistent excuse?’
In reality, even if it is freedom, there are many users who turn off their phones when faced with an experience they do not want to share.
The killer found his target in a secluded place, subdued him from behind, and then destroyed his target’s phone first.
But the moment the phone was broken, Freedom seized control of all nearby CCTV cameras and began tracking the culprit’s movements in reverse.
It also notified the nearest police station so they could be dispatched immediately.
The criminal, who was heading home with the victim in the trunk to commit murder, was surrounded from the front and back by a car pulled out by Android Freedoms less than 1km from the scene.
And he was arrested by the police who arrived quickly, and the victim was rescued safely.
Since each and every citizen has a personal secretary, it has become extremely difficult to successfully commit a serious crime.
Thanks to this, the number of murders in Korea has dropped significantly, and most of them are accidental.
Other serious crimes also saw similar declines in success rates.
The difficulty of planned murder was literally extreme. Even if it was successful, it was certain that the perpetrator would be caught and would not be able to leave the scene.
Statistics like these have served as a useful weapon for advocates to silence human rights activists who have been harping on Freedom’s privacy risks.
“Hitmen don’t usually run rampant in Korea, but it’s better to have them in crowded areas. That means Android Freedom is more prevalent in crowded areas. Well, most of them are still concentrated in Seoul.”
“I understand China and Russia, but why was Japan suddenly added?”
“I think things are not going well with Japan these days. It’s time to start being really careful.”
“I thought things were better than before. We’re supplying a lot of food to Japan, and deploying a lot of Android Freedoms, so.”
“If you want to eat a pig, you can’t let it starve to death.”
“Oh, was that it?”
Ha Su-young began to travel the world busily.
Even when he visited three African regions, Kenya, Gabon, and Ghana, the media thought that Ha Su-young was preparing to start a grain business in Africa.
Considering the food production capacity demonstrated by the Swimming Farm Terrarium, it is likely that superior grain yields will be achieved regardless of region and climate.
For African countries, where food sovereignty has been controlled by European countries such as France and Britain since the colonial era, swimming farms have been a good joker for achieving self-sufficiency.
But after visiting those three African countries, everyone tilted their heads when they saw the additional countries they visited.
“You visited a total of 13 countries?”
“Wait a minute, doesn’t this have something in common?”
“They are either current non-permanent members of the UN or are scheduled to be elected as non-permanent members next year. Yes. They are all either current non-permanent members or prospective members.”
“Meanwhile, Brazil and Japan are incredibly absent?”
“Could this be… Is Korea aiming to become a permanent member of the Security Council?”
Things took a somewhat strange turn.
Diplomatic experts concluded that South Korea was seeking to become a permanent member of the fourth-tier nation.
I thought that the moves of Ha Soo-young, who is practically a non-politician on the international stage rather than a high-ranking public official, were a tactical move by Korea to reduce its diplomatic burden.
Accordingly, all kinds of pressure, questions, enticement, and persuasion poured into Korean diplomatic channels.
“This is an unofficial protest delivered by the Japanese Prime Minister’s Office.”
“What did you say?”
“As a member of the Coffee Club, Korea has consistently opposed the increase in the number of permanent members, so isn’t it contradictory for Korea to hope to become a permanent member?”
“It’s obvious. He must have made it so obvious by spinning the wheels that we can’t figure out what his real intention is.”
Because of Ha Soo-young’s visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly had more work to do. The staff at the building had to work overtime without even being able to go home properly.
“It’s strange. I checked with the Blue House and they said there was no prior communication with Cheongdam-dong. The Blue House also seemed flustered.”
“Could it be that the President had a secret private conversation? He may have kept it a secret from the Chief of Staff for security reasons.”
“I don’t think so. I heard that even the VIP looked surprised.”
“Then with the National Assembly?”
“If that were the case, we wouldn’t have been able to keep it so secret. Yeouido is a place where rumors spread quickly.”
“That’s not what I meant. I just meant that I didn’t communicate with Representative Rohan.”
“Oh, that could be true. Although Rohan is an independent, he has the widest influence in the National Assembly.”
Korea prepares to advance to the next level with Ha Su-young at the forefront!
The international diplomatic stage began to make wild assumptions and wonder how to use this situation to their advantage.
The same was true for the real parties involved, China and Korea.
“It appears that His Majesty the Father is trying to promote South Korea to the status of a permanent member state.”
“Well, if our people want to contribute even a little bit of strength, isn’t there a way?”
“We must do our utmost to prevent North Korea from causing chaos. If the Kim family does not make a fuss about launching missiles or turning Kaesong into a sea of fire, it will be of great help to His Excellency the Father of the Nation’s grand plan.”
In this way, Ha Soo-young’s true intentions were hidden behind layers of misunderstanding.
