Chapter 400: Season 2 – Part 16 The Second Northeast Asian War! – 3-2 Difficult!

 

November 25, 2023 03:00,

The basement bunker (conference room) of the Blue House National Crisis Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Namju.

Immediately after Russia’s massive invasion, President Chu Eun-hee, as if waiting for it, issued a public statement condemning Russia’s illegal military actions and formally declaring war.

Despite the late hour, many people watched the President’s speech presentation. The people were deeply moved by the naval battle with the Far East Fleet from the afternoon and the continuous delivery of information from a Blue House spokesperson saying that Russia’s military movements are not serious. Most of them calmly accepted whether they were aware of the danger of war in advance and prepared their minds in advance.

There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason was trust and trust in the ROK Armed Forces.This atmosphere would not have been created if it had not been for the trust of the ROK Armed Forces, which unilaterally defeated China and even occupied Japan in the Northeast Asian War two years ago.

President Chu Eun-hee immediately after the announcement of his address to the public, watched the current state of war at the National Crisis Center here one by one, and then briefly moved to the conference room to report on Professor Woo Jin-Gil’s case.

President Chu Eun-hee, who received a 30-minute rough report from the Director of the National Intelligence Service, asked with a sad expression on his face.

“Okay. Professor Woo Jin-gil, when can the body come to Korea?”

“I think I will be able to come to Korea this morning by requesting the Thai investigative authorities.”

“Good. It must have been very heartbreaking for the bereaved family, but I am glad that I was able to bring them back to Korea as soon as possible.”

President Choo Eun-hee nodded and said, Director Lee Young-jin said cautiously.

“The problem is that the bereaved families are also involved in this confidential leak, so arrest seems inevitable.”

“Are you imprisoned?”

“Under the current law, in the case of SSS-level confidential documents, all those involved are sentenced to life imprisonment or longer. In the case of the current state of national emergency, even the death penalty.”

“Director Lee!”

President Choo Eun-hee cut off Director Lee Young-jin’s words with a firm tone.

“Yes, President!”

“Professor Jin-Gil Woo has sacrificed the lives of himself and his family over the years for the country. Why does he and his family have to suffer like this?”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

Director Lee Young-jin, embarrassed by the incomprehensible question, asked carefully.

“It is the responsibility of the state. State Responsibility! Prof. Woo Jin-Gil devoted all his abilities and efforts for the country to his plasma research, and his achievements have made the Republic of Korea we are today. If Professor Woo Jin-gil had not done such a thing, there would have been no extreme choice of suicide, and his daughter, Woo Jin-seo, was also held hostage to the vicious kidnappers for two years, a one-year-old child and a three-year-old child who would not hurt even if they saw it in their eyes. He would not have been caught and lived in pain every day. Who can tell them they are the criminals who leaked their secrets?”

Unlike his usual kind expression, when Director Lee Young-jin was unable to answer the president’s angry face, Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the security office, spoke on his behalf.

“President! The plasma core technology leaked this time is the current sum of Korean science and technology. If the hijackers hand over their secrets to other countries, the problem gets worse.”

“great. What can a country that acquired the leaked plasma core technology make?”

When President Choo Eun-hee cleared his hardened expression and asked a question, Director Lee Su-jin, the general manager of the Parthenon Research Center, who sat still at the end of the seat like a criminal, opened his mouth.

“First of all, as the head of the institute, I am very sorry for this incident.”

“no. It’s not the doctor’s fault. Rather than that, please explain easily what other countries can make with the leaked core plasma technology.”

“Yes, President! I’ll tell you in an easy way without technical terms. The first thing that can be made with plasma core technology is a plasma superphoton generator. In addition, countries with a high level of science and technology can make advanced weapons such as photon cannons and various plasma bombs based on applied technology. Laser weapons are also included.”

The power plants and advanced weapons that Dr. Sujin Lee briefly solved and enumerated could only be made by the Republic of Korea at present.

“You said that it is a country with a high level of science and technology. Can you give me a country name for example?”

“Yes, President! By today’s standards, the former China, India, Japan, Russia, the United States, and most of the European countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany.”

“great. Even if those countries acquired the core technology, how many years would it take to build a super-photon power plant or various advanced weapons?”

“The level of science and technology will be different for each country I mentioned, but I expect it to take two to three years for the United States and Russia, and two to three years for other countries.”

“It’s faster than I thought.”

Recognizing that the problem was more serious than expected, President Chu Eun-hee leaned back in his chair and shook his head with a sigh.

“President! If you think of the plasma core technology as a building blueprint this time, you will understand it faster.”

“It’s a blueprint for a building…. i See. It is easy to understand if you explain it in an easy way. So, by the way, are you checking the identities of those kidnappers?”

“Yes, all departments are mobilized and are currently investigating.”

At the same time as Director Young-jin Lee’s answer, Chief of Staff Lim Jong-won looked worried and lamented.

“I’m worried that I will have to catch it before selling the technical information to other countries.”

“Do you think the chief of staff did this for simple money?”

Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the security office, asked a question out of the blue with a face that said, ‘Isn’t that so?’

“Isn’t it?”

“Yes, I don’t think so. Professor Woo Jin-gil’s identity is an S-class security in Korea. A typical kidnapper would never know such information. So, at least, I wonder if those kidnappers are special agents of the state who are jealous of our Republic of Korea. What do others think?”

The president and other officials nodded their heads at the words of Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the security office.

“Yeah, the chief security officer is right. The intelligence analysis room also made an analysis that the hijackers are highly likely to be intelligence agents of a country.”

Director Lee Young-jin helped with the words of Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the Security Office.

“Currently, the Foreign Intelligence Agency agents dispatched to Hong Kong have been instructed to investigate the intelligence organizations of all countries operating in Hong Kong.”

“If, as the two of you said, it was organized by an intelligence organization in another country, the problem could be more serious.”

All eyes were focused on Dr. Sujin Lee, who was interrupted in the conversation. And the question of Director Youngjin Lee continued.

“Is it more serious?”

“If the kidnappers were an international criminal organization, they would have kept the information stolen from Professor Woo Jin-gil and tried to sell the completed information to other countries. However, if the intelligence organization of a country had made up the two powders, they would have continued to conduct research and development with the stolen information.”

“Doctor Lee! Then, if the research that took two to three years in other countries was started based on the first stolen information, would it be possible to produce something in less than a year?”

Director Youngjin Lee made a surprised expression even as he spoke.

“Yes, that’s right. At least a plasma bomb can be made in three months or even before that.”

At Dr. Sujin Lee’s words, everyone in the conference room was astonished.

“Director Lee!”

“Yes, President!”

“Make sure you catch the vicious kidnapper or the intelligence organization of another country. You have to catch it by all means and methods. In addition. Core technology must also be recovered.”

As the situation became more serious than expected, President Chu Eun-hee gave his eyes strength and said as if instructing Director Lee Young-jin.

“All right. I will definitely fix it.”

At this time, the conference room intercom rang and the secretary’s voice came out.

Beep! Beep!

President! The Minister of Defense asks to see you. “Tell me to come in.” All right. After a while, the door to the conference room opened and Minister Kang Yi-sik entered. Minister Kang I-sik, who seemed to have hurriedly ran from the situation room, took a rough breath and approached the presidents. Everyone looked at Minister Kang Yi-sik, wondering if there was something wrong with the war with Russia.

“Did the war with Russia cause any major problems?”

Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the National Security Office, stood up in an awkward position and asked. “Oh, no. It’s not on the Russian side, it’s on the Kurdistan side.” “Are you Kurdistan? What’s wrong with that?”

“Currently, there have been simultaneous suicide bombings in about 30 Kurdistan cities.”

The president, startled by the word suicide bombing, jumped up from his seat and asked additional questions.

“No, suicide bombing? Any casualties?”

“It is not certain at this time, but the information we have provided is a report from the commander of the Peace Unit that there were more than 5,000 casualties.” “Oh, five thousand? Is there any damage to the Peace Corps?” “Fortunately, there was no damage to the Peace Corps. Most of them are Kurdistan citizens. To commemorate the occupation of Kirkuk, a large number of people came out on the square and on the streets to hold various events and processions.

The president took a long sigh as he sat down on the sofa and said.

“Oh my God, I thought that Kurdistan independence was not far away, but this is happening.” While the president lamented, Kang Hyun-soo, head of the security office, asked an additional question.

“Is the terrorist behind the scenes revealed?”

“Currently, the peace unit intelligence unit has launched an investigation together with the Kurdistan investigative authorities. It is forbidden to make hasty judgments, but in terms of terrorism, it appears to be the work of IS or an armed group. However, the Kurdistan government is suspicious of the Iranian and Iraqi governments.”

“Iran and Iraq?” “Yes, Iran and Iraq are currently on a hiatus from external military activities. In other words, we decided that we could no longer defeat our Peace Forces with a military threat. However, that does not mean that the independence of the Kurdistan Republic was recognized. Therefore, we are wondering whether this hopeless war is not intended to cause internal turmoil by delaying the war and instead triggering continuous terrorism.” “But it must be today, when the war with Russia broke out….”

Lim Jong-won, chief of the secretary’s office, blurted the end of his speech and made an impression, and Director Lee Young-jin spit out the words without knowing it. “Isn’t this the owner of Russia?”

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Director Lee Young-jin. Then he explained why he thought so.”Ah! I said it because the war with Russia started and the suicide bombings occurred as if it was a promise.”

“From what I’ve heard, Russia may be behind it.”

President Choo Eun-hee nodded his head to see if there was any truth to Lee Young-jin’s words and continued his words.

“In particular, did Russia not interfere with the independence of the Kurdistan Republic by providing Iran with various new weapons? This is with the intention of causing chaos in Kurdistan externally, so as not to focus on the war with Russia.”Director Youngjin Lee’s additional explanation followed, and everyone seemed to agree.

“If the Russian government is behind it, it seems like they are preparing a lot for today. By the way, I even think that the leak of plasma core technology may have been a Russian thing.”

Kang Hyeon-soo, head of the National Security Office, inferred that Russia might be involved in all cases. “Is it plasma core technology? What does that mean?” When Minister Kang Yi-sik, who had not yet shared information, asked with his curious face, Kang Hyeon-soo, the chief of security, answered. “Oh, Minister Kang! We’ll talk about it at the NSC meeting in the morning.” “Oh, yes, I see.”

“It feels like a lot of difficulties are piled up when we are going to focus on the war with Russia. First of all, let’s assume that the plasma core technology and Kurdistan issue will be prepared at the NSC meeting this morning. Any other reports?” “Yes, President!”

“like. When it comes to plasma guns, small things are good, so please keep reporting them. Let’s finish this and go up to the situation room.”

When President Choo Eun-hee rose from his seat again, the rest of the officials and Dr. Lee Su-jin also rose from their seats.

“Ah! And when Minister Kang goes up to the situation room, please briefly explain the current situation with Russia.”

At this time, the chief of staff, worried about the president’s health, interrupted and said,”President! Leave the war with Russia to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and rest for a while. For an NSC meeting in the morning.” “Secretary! Even the people can’t sleep because of the outbreak of war, are you resting? You won’t die if you don’t sleep for a few days. Do not worry.”
