  East Sea at 43° North Latitude 1’17.06″ East Latitude 139°23’53.69″ International Waters (7th Task Flotilla).

  “Wow! Hurray!”


  The crew members of the battle command room of Gwanghae(DDG-1001) cheered and hugged each other and enjoyed the joy. Some of the crew members held onto their cross necklaces and shouted God with tearful expressions.

  A few minutes ago, when water columns and black smoke rose to several meters, Hyosung the Great, which was thought to have been hit by the KH-47M2 Kinzal anti-ship missile was brutally torn to the left of the function, avoiding being shot or to sink.

  Immediately before the crash, six ‘Ion Glum’ the data linking detection information were damaged by the plasma diffuse shells fired from the Harper K-1 warship.

  The KM47M2 Kinzal anti-ship missile, which lost its data link, tried to detect Hyosung the Great(DDG-1001) again by its own active radar but failed to detect the target due to a strong SECM disturbance.

  In response, the KH-47M2 Kinzal anti-ship missile flew based on the last location information before the target signal was cut and crashed into the sea as it grazed the left side of the function of the orbiting Hyosung the Great (DDG-1001).

  Although the left side of the function was torn apart by the power of the explosion, only 11 people were injured without any casualties, and the captain of the Hyosung the Great (DDG-1003) reported that there was no problem sailing.

  It was a stroke of luck. Aside from the power of the warhead’s formidable 500-kilogram conventional bomb, it was a disaster in itself when an object as high as Mach 10 collided.

  While the crew members were shaking with joy, Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun sat helplessly in a chair and breathed a deep sigh of relief looking at his happy crew members.

  The voice of Colonel Cho Tae-hyun, the captain of the 71st Battalion and the captain of the Gwanghaeham (DDG-1001), who had been listening to all the situations in the combat command room so far, flew on the network.

  ” Admiral! Stop coming to the bridge. If you stay there, you’ll be 10 years older.”


  Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun waved his hands and smirked at the captain’s joke.

  At that time, tactical control officer Kim Hyuk-min approached and spoke to him.

  “What would you do with the Russian landing ship?”


  Currently, the three *fighter-class (alligator) ships had changed course and were returning to Vladivostok.

  “With all the Far East fleet warships buried, I don’t think we need to attack a strong ship.”


  “Yes, I get what you mean.”


  “The problem is Russian nuclear submarine. There’s a good chance that he’ll be able to go submersion for revenge on the Far East fleet with their eyes open blue. Tell all destroyers to strengthen their anti-sleep vigilance.”


  The ten nuclear submarines that were deep diving in the Northeast deep sea by the words of Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun were currently gathering in the sea where the 7th Task Flotilla was located.

  “Yes, sir.”


  “I’m going up to the bridge now.”


  “Thank you for your hard work. Everybody, attention!”


  Kim Hyuk-min, the tactical control officer, saluted as a representative, with all the crew members of the combat command room taking a floating position.

  “Yeah, you guys did a great job. Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun, who saluted back, tapped the tactical control officer on the shoulder and left the combat command room.

  November 24th, 2023 16:30 (15:30 New China time),

  New China’s Beijing Black Panther Gang Headquarters.

  “Are you sure about the goods?”


  Shin Bai-ching, the boss of the black panther gang, a man with unusual eyes, asked a man wearing a black uniform and reporting in a straight posture.

  “Yes, team leader Jjangcheon has surely confirmed it.”


  “Hoohoo, we are finally seeing the result of the fruit.”


  After the birth of the New People’s Republic of China, President Wang Jing-Wei gathered former members of the special forces to form a secret service under the president’s office, the black panther gang.

  In the early days of its establishment, it was mainly responsible for hacking and gathering confidential information about the Eastern Republic and the Republic of China for the independence of China, but the target became South Korea, which is growing more and more superpowers over time and engaged in intelligence gathering activities that correspond to state secrets.

  So, what do we do with the children?”


  “We have to let them go as promised!”


  “Do you really have to send them?”


  “They are just young and inexperienced children. What do you want them to do? What if I don’t send them and he decides to report me? As much as it’s an item, it’s troublesome for Korean intelligence to move!”


  Shin Bai-ching gestured, to get out of here since it’s annoying.”


  “Yes, sir.”


  Shin Baiqing, who was left alone after the man in the black uniform left, picked up the phone on his desk and called somewhere.

  “It’s Xin Baiqing.”


  So, how’s everything going?

  “Yes, I’ll be in Beijing in four hours.”


  Well done, I’ll remember this!”


  “Thank you.”


  As soon as you arrive in Beijing, send it to the General Equipment Research Institute!

  “Yes, sir.”


  After the call, Xin Baiqing put his legs on the desk and smiled pleased. This was because he took advantage of his previous record and now he has a platform to jump into politics. Just thinking about it made him smile.

  November 24th, 2023 17:00 (11:00 Russian Time),

  Moscow, Russia, bunker state R-13(Conference room)

  Putin’s eyes, who were exhibiting extreme anger and with his lip shut tight which looked at high-ranking officials sitting on the left and right sides of a long desk, seemed to show an invisible laser.

  The high-ranking officials who received his stinging gaze were to die for. It’s been a thousand times better to just get angry or get yelled at.

  The defeat of the Far Eastern fleet was not just a defeat. The total amount of weapons poured into the war was a whopping 30 billion dollars. It is more important that the Northern Fleet or Baltic Fleet is unless, through the Arctic Ocean from here to the East Sea, Russia’s naval power cannot be administered for the time being.

  There were still more than 30 nuclear submarines and conventional submarines in the Pacific fleet, but it was still a submarine power.

  It can secretly still dive underwater and stir up the East Sea but it was not the force that Putin wanted to carry out the landing operation in Hokkaido.

  The result of such a severe economic and military blow was a chill in the conference room here at State R-13.

  Beshastnich Chief of General Staff, who remembered Putin’s words at the previous meeting, slowly rose from his seat and spoke to President Putin.

  “I’ll take full responsibility for this defeat and step down from the Chief of general staff.”


  The atmosphere in the conference room has become even heavier due to the remarks made by Chief of General Stuff Beschastnich,

  “Chief of General Staff! As the important time that the war is about to begin with Korea, and to resign? It’s not the time yet.”


  They say as difficult times like this, they would be on your side? Defense Minister Ivanov dissuaded.

  Other senior officials also nodded and expressed opposition. President Putin, who was watching such officials, said, slanting up one side of his chin.

  “Chief of General Staff! Yes! You’ll have to take off your clothes, but as the defense minister said, if the general chief of staff of the Russian army changes at a critical time, neither will the morale of the military. Beschastnich, Chief of General Staff! I’ll give you one more chance. A chance to revenge those damn Koreans.”


  At President Putin’s small physique but charismatic remarks, Beschastnich, the chief of general staff, bowed and shouted in a restrained salute.

  “Beschastnich Chief of General Staff of Russia! I will do my best with the opportunity given by the president.

  In the eyes of others, the Chief of General Staff’s behavior seemed a little exaggerated. But Beshastnich, the party involved, was sincere about what he has spoken.

  “From now on, carry out all operations in the judgment of the Chief of General Staff. You don’t have to be approved by me one by one.”


  “Yes, Mr. President!”


  At President Putin’s remark, Beschastnich, the Chief of General staff, was filled with loyalty and confidence.

  At the same time, President Putin called for a foreign minister after when Beshastnich, the Chief of General Staff, sat down.

  Foreign Minister Valeri Karpin who has the same name as the commander of the Far Eastern Fleet, replied.

  “Yes, Mr. President!”


  “When the Eastern Army moves, the Foreign Minister immediately ask New China for assistance under mutual military treaties.”


  “Yes, sir.”


  President Putin turned his head and called the Director-General of SVR(Foreign Intelligence).

  “Yes, Mr. President!”


  “I’m sure you’re all set for Kurdistan?”


  “Yes, It is on standby after all the preparations. All you have to do is give me an order.”


  “Okay! Minister Igor Semshov!”


  “Yes, Mr. President!”


  “How are we preparing to switch to a munitions plant after declaring a state of emergency?”


  “Yes, from daily necessities to heavy equipment, all factories and companies are ready to switch to a munitions plant system in less than 24 hours……”


  In the event of a state of emergency being declared due to the outbreak of war, all Russian companies and factories are in the process of converting to a munitions plant that was being prepared a month ago within 24 hours.

  “All right, I think all preparations have been set.”


  President Putin, who checked with various officials one by one, got up from his seat and shouted, looking at a map of the entire Siberian region as well as the Korean Peninsula hanging on one wall of the conference room.

  “As of 24:00 today, launch the offensive on Manchuria area in Korea”


  “Yes, sir.”


  November 24th 19:30 (17:30 Thailand time),

  Silom Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand (No. 1022)

  Professor Woo Jin-gil, who returned to the hotel after shopping, stayed in his room all the time, and two bodyguards were spending time watching TV in the living room.

  Then a little later, the voice of the hotel staff was heard through the intercom.

  “Room service.”


  When a bodyguard opened the hotel door, two female employees dressed in hotel clothes brought food and red wine to the mobile table.

  “Professor, did you order room service?”


  Another bodyguard approached the door and spoke to him.

  “Oh, is it here? Yes, I ordered it. Get it inside.”


  “Yes, sir.”


  After a while, luxurious food and red wine were served on the living room table.

  “Come on! Everyone, sit down. I feel like you’re having a hard time here because of me and since I thought that wine would be better than beer, so I ordered it.”


  Woo Jin-gil, a professor with a warm impression, gestured to the two bodyguards to sit down.

  “Professor! I’m sorry, but no alcohol is allowed during security.”


  Kim Dong-jin Assistant manager, who was a senior assistant secretary among the bodyguards, said as he showed disapproval.

  “Oh! I’m not going out today. I’ll be going out tomorrow, so don’t worry and let’s have a drink. I’m staying at the hotel. What’s the problem?”


  At Professor Woo Jin-gil’s continued request, the two bodyguards sat on the sofa countless times.

  “Haha, yes. Just one glass of wine and help yourself with a lot of food.”


  “Yes, thank you. Thank you for the food.”


  Oh Sang-tae, the Chief bowed his head to express his gratitude and put a fork on the food that looked delicious.

  “Even if I travel alone, I don’t feel like I’m here alone because of you two. You two are having a hard time because of me hahaha”


  Professor Woo Jin-gil spoke more kindly than usual. It was like a pattern of behavior that appears when you do something sorry.

  “Haha, what are you talking about? We’re just performing our duties. You don’t have to worry about it.”


  It felt different from usual, but Kim Dong-jin Assistant manager thought it would be because he was sorry.

  “Let’s have a drink.”


  Professor Woo Jin-gil handed over a glass of red wine to the two bodyguards.

  Clink!

  When the three of them bumped into each other and tried to drink wine glasses, the bell rang on Professor Woo Jin-gil’s smartphone.

  “Oh! It’s my daughter. Wait a minute.”


  Professor Woo Jin-gil, who confirmed that the call number was his daughter’s number, entered the room and talked on the phone.

  Oh, Dad!

  “Well, yeah, what happened? What about the kids?

  He asked in asked back in a silent voice so the security in the living room can’t hear him.

  “Are the kids there? Are they there?

  Yeah, They just got here.

  “How are your kids doing?”


  It’s okay.

  “Oh! Thank God.”


  Professor Woo Jin-gil held onto his smartphone and said as if he was praying. He had thick tears in his eyes.

  “Eunseo, listen up! Take your husband and the kids right now and go to Korea with the ticket I gave you! Okay?”


  Yes, I will. What about you?

  “I will go back to Korea tomorrow. Wait at my house.”


  Come today as well, Dad. I’m so scared.

  “Don’t be afraid! It’s gonna be okay. Go ahead and wait. Okay?”


  Yes, I got it. See you tomorrow.

  “Okay, let’s hang up!”


  After finishing the call, Professor Woo Jin-gil covered his mouth and sobbed. Professor Woo Jin-gil, who couldn’t even cry because he was afraid that the security guard in the living room would hear him, sobbed for a few more minutes.

  ‘I’m afraid I’m gonna hurt you. I’m sorry’


  Professor Woo Jin-gil muttered, thinking of the bodyguard in the living room over the wall. Then he took something out of his bag.

  One was a thick letter and the other was a pill.

  Professor Woo Jin-gil, who put the letter on the bed, looked at the pill in his right hand for a long time.

  “This will not wash away my sin of betraying my country, but at least this is the only thing I can do.”


  Professor Woo Jin-gil, who was lost in thought for a while, poured the pill into his mouth at once.

  Then, with a severe amount of pain he had, the veins burst in both eyes, and white bubbles flowed out of his mouth, and soon collapsed on the bed, feeling weak.
