RUST [RUST]-792
Kim Yang didn’t want to hand over the nukes.
Not a small nucleus, but a large and beautiful nucleus? And five of them?
‘Why don’t we just give them American nuclear weapons that we don’t use?’
Even if the Holy Kingdom reached the singularity and pulled out a hydrogen bomb, it would take ten to fifteen days to make one.
Since it takes time to install various safety devices and prepare for biological EMP, you can fire around 3 shots a month at most. If you slowly pull them out, you can fire around 2 shots.
So the number of strategic nuclear weapons we have pulled out so far is only about 20, and you’re giving us 5 of them? What’s so good about Korea?
[There are American nuclear weapons. They were brought from an air force base. They are not being used. Can’t we give them to them?]
“It won’t work because the power is weak.”
[Then why don’t you just shoot multiple shots?]
“I might not be able to shoot when I need to because of concerns about radiation contamination. If I hesitate and get hit, it’s worse than not shooting at all.”
The hydrogen bomb made by the Holy Kingdom had very little radioactive contamination. It was enough to be used for walking around in half a day.
Even with just the right level of protective clothing, there was no major problem in going straight into operation. Because it was that safe, it could be used in a heated situation.
But the current US nuclear arsenal is not a sure thing. Considering the nuclear war with China, that certainly was the case.
“If they knew that we were armed with nuclear weapons, the seven Chinese or Russian refugees, as well as the refugees in Incheon and Busan, would not be able to move freely. They know that one shot would be enough to end it.”
7 China and Russia could not help but be concerned about Korea. Not only was it armed with the hydrogen bomb of the Holy Kingdom, but it also built a nuclear submarine to enrich spent fuel rods. Maru practically armed Korea with nuclear weapons.
‘South Korea, which declared denuclearization, broke its own promise and armed itself with nuclear weapons, which is an act that threatens peace in Northeast Asia.’
The seven Chinese countries issued a joint statement condemning the move as a vicious act that would disrupt peace in Northeast Asia.
‘South Korea’s nuclear armament will increase tensions in Northeast Asia, and even a minor conflict could lead to mutually assured destruction.’
Russia, mired in the quagmire of Ukraine, opposed nuclear armament, saying it was a shortcut to mutual destruction, but what can we do when we already have nuclear arms? No matter how much the seven Chinese and Russians commented, it was useless.
Chinese import and export restrictions? Even without the restrictions, the situation was at rock bottom due to the mutant virus outbreak, and the US-China war completely ended it.
Relations with Russia? Korea’s decision to abandon neutrality and fully support Ukraine has also turned relations with Russia into a mess.
It was the cannibalistic government of Korea that restored relations with the seven Chinese and Russian countries that had reached a dead end. In addition to exporting human flesh, they also imported a lot of necessary resources from the seven Chinese and Russian countries by reserving newborn exports.
The Holy Kingdom suddenly appeared and ended the Korean cannibalistic government, and suddenly armed itself with nuclear weapons.
7 China and Russia had nowhere to turn. It was unrealistic to expose the import of processed human flesh and newborn babies, and it was equally difficult to pressure them through the international community.
The international community has disappeared and South Korea has acquired nuclear weapons, so what kind of pressure will work? The only thing they can do is ban exports and imports to South Korea in the future.
But now, the nuclear-armed South Korean government has ignored the pressure from China and Russia. It could have ignored it.

[Oh- The Korean government is ignoring pressure from China and Russia.]
“Because resources can be obtained through us.”
They must have nuclear weapons too. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
[Sure enough, a nuke is a nuke. Even if you just have it, you can’t cross the line.]
“The reason North Korea is holding out is because of its nuclear weapons. What else could there be?”
[So where are you going?]
“Since we’ve already gone nuclear, we have to see it through to the end.”
Five hydrogen bombs from the Holy Kingdom? It was enough for defense, but Maru had no intention of ending it there. Korea had to draw aggro from East Asia, because it would make things easier for the Holy Kingdom.
[how?]
“First, we need to start building a spent fuel rod enrichment facility and a nuclear submarine.”
There was no facility in Korea to enrich spent fuel rods, which Japan also has. This was despite the fact that the volume of spent fuel rods could be reduced to 1/20 through the enrichment process, which would greatly reduce the size of the radioactive waste disposal site.
Some say that enrichment facilities are essential for manufacturing nuclear warheads, but if that’s the case, why did Japan have them?
In any case, if we build an enrichment facility, the efficiency of nuclear power plants will increase, making it easier to endure the harsh winter.
[What about the modular power plant?]
“I still can’t believe it.”
If we gave them modular nuclear power plants, there was no guarantee that the technology would not fall into the hands of refugees from China, Russia, and Japan.
“First of all, the demand for electricity has plummeted, so it doesn’t seem like it will be needed urgently right away.”
[Well, I guess that would be the case given the current situation.]
The operating rate of factories in Korea was below 50%. In particular, factories in Ulsan, Pohang, Busan, Changwon, and Geoje were virtually at a standstill.
“If Korea restarts its factories and we start transit trade using airships, it will be a win-win situation for both sides.”
[Should we start by securing factories in Ulsan, Pohang, Changwon, and Geoje?]
When news spread that South Korea had been armed with hydrogen bombs from the Holy Kingdom, Japanese refugees who had taken control of Ulsan, Pohang, Changwon, and Geoje, demanding special autonomous regions, returned to Busan.
“The Korean government will take care of that.”
[Well, we don’t have enough labor to run the factory right now. I don’t know if we can negotiate with Japanese refugees.]
It was impossible for Koreans alone to run the factories in Ulsan, Pohang, Changwon, and Geoje, because almost half of the men in their 20s and early 30s were drafted, and the women were in the metropolitan area.
[But if you negotiate with Japanese refugees, can you trust them? Didn’t you say that the Japanese refugee leaders are likely to be capable or cannibals?]
[···Even so, the Korean government should take responsibility for it. It would be meaningless if we took the lead and did something.]
“······.”
It was shocking that 32 of the newly elected members of the National Assembly were cannibals. Where did they come from, not even cockroaches, to become members of the National Assembly?
“If we step forward and catch the cannibal, they will continue to rely on us. If we don’t come to our senses even when a cannibal appears among the members of the National Assembly, there is no answer.”
I don’t think he would have run for Congress as a cannibal.
The Holy Kingdom was burning with fire and ferocity against cannibals, so there was no way a cannibal would have been involved in election activities. It meant that he became a cannibal after being elected to the National Assembly.
They say he became a cannibal because he thought he could use his status as a member of the National Assembly as a shield. But how did he become a cannibal when he didn’t want to?
Unlike the early days of cannibalism, becoming a cannibal required a high concentration of cannibal virus tissue, such as the brain, heart, or small intestine.
The only place where such special parts could be procured was the refugee camp. The information extracted from the brain of the cannibal congressman also had circumstances connecting him to the refugee camp. The problem is that it is only circumstantial.
[There was no direct evidence, right?]
“Yes. That’s the problem.”
There was no evidence to just close our eyes and push the refugee camps away. We felt it was a shame to push them away without considering the number of capable people and laborers in the refugee camps.
[You need labor to run a factory. There’s no need to bring aggro by messing with a refugee camp.]
[Huh- Then what should we do? It seems certain that there are cannibals in the refugee camp.]
“We need to put pressure on the Korean government to put pressure on the refugee camps.”
[The military is limited. As a world group?]
“Whatever method is used. The Korean government must find the method. We are not going to keep wiping shit.”
If Korea betrays, five hydrogen bombs will be fired.
[So are you going back now?]
“okay.”
Kim Yang’s face brightened at Maru’s answer that he was going back.
[But what did you and the nurse do?]
“···What are you doing?”
[Did you date?]
At Kim Yang’s questioning, Ki-soon glared and sent a signal. ‘The King is shameless.’ ‘Answer confidently.’ ‘Why do you want to know whether we went on a date or had a hot night together?’
Snap-
Maru turned his head stiffly and asked in a hard voice.
“Why. Do. You. Want. To. Do. That?”
[huh.]
what?
Maru’s expression changed strangely.
Ki-sun’s eyes, watching it, curved into a crescent moon.

The South Korean government was outraged that Chinese and Japanese refugees were trying to influence state affairs by turning members of the National Assembly into cannibals.
Immediately, the Holy Kingdom’s cannibal diagnostic kits were mass-produced, and it was made lawful for members of the National Assembly and other key public officials to be tested for cannibalism at any time.
‘Cannibal is a disgusting expression.’
‘From an evolutionary perspective, cannibalism is something that has happened repeatedly throughout human history.’
‘Didn’t you say that the Ojin Group fled to the Holy Kingdom? With the Ojin Group’s suppressants and treatments, even cannibals can continue their daily lives without any problems.’
Those who argued this were completely stripped of their power. The newly formed Korean government made improving relations with the Holy Kingdom its top priority.
‘Search and seize. Up to your cousins and eighth cousins. If there is any private property, turn it all upside down.’
‘It’s gold. Gold has been found.’
When it was revealed that many of those who supported cannibals had been bribed, the Korean government launched a full-scale investigation into those who had made statements favorable to cannibals and refugees.
‘It’s suppression of the press.’
‘Guarantee freedom of thought.’
Despite such opposition, the South Korean government did not stop investigating cannibals and refugee advocates. Maru responded to that firm determination.
“What is the hardest thing about building a nuclear-powered submarine?”
[It would be a nuclear reactor. It’s not impossible with Korean technology, but since it’s the first time making one, wouldn’t it take some time?]
“Give it to me.”
[Are you serious? What if I betray you?]
“So we have to give it to them.”
So that if something happens, you can make a loud noise.
[······.]
Maru was hot. He openly stated that if he betrayed them, he would be punished with a bang, and offered to provide them with a new type of reactor needed to build a nuclear submarine.
The Korean government accepted the new reactors, thinking, “Why not just not betray us?” Once the core reactor problem was resolved, the construction of the nuclear submarines was a breeze.
South Korea, which already has the capability to operate submarines at the world level, has come to operate nuclear submarines. The seven countries of China and Russia could not help but be on edge.
“Are you able to communicate with the Korean government?”
[Is that so?]
The Korean government began to check China and Russia on its own.
“If we keep doing this, it would be okay if we were given an aircraft carrier, right?”
Maru left room for a new aircraft carrier, built at the Newport News Shipyard.
[Are you serious? Are you really thinking of giving us a new aircraft carrier?]
“Look at what you’re doing. We’re preparing to move to the air carrier anyway.”
It was called an air carrier, but in fact, a space carrier that could rise to the stratosphere was being designed. If the floating city was completed and the space carrier was successfully built, the next step would be a space colony.
So, there was no need to feel sorry about running the newly built aircraft carrier for a few years and then handing it over to Korea. If Korea possesses not only nuclear submarines but also new nuclear aircraft carriers, it will not have the capacity to worry about the seven Chinese, Russian, and Holy Kingdoms.
In any case, Korea’s fate is now in the hands of the Korean people. Now that they have secured strategic nuclear weapons and nuclear submarines, they will not yield to pressure or threats.
“What happened to the newborn?”
[All have been taken into management.]
The expedition, which lasted over six months, ended in success.

Kaaaak-? (Is this the new home?)
Kaaaak? (Is it really endless?)
Magpies that migrated from Korea were surprised to see orchards in Canada.
