After 12 Hours

To prevent the end of the world.

After changing the setting of the future news to the United States, I received news about a month or so into the future of the United States. I only received the news of the future in Korea, and I received the news of the future in the United States, "12 months later" news. So even though it was news a year later, there was a lot of surprising and fresh news. The interesting thing was that news from the United States has been coming out since 2026. There was only one. And, you know, it was pretty weird news.

'General Duke's forty-two birthday party will be held. ’

It was really strange news. Usually American political news.

"Senator Claudia Morritz condemns President Trump's tweet."

or

"Defense Secretary Howard says the South China Sea is under military strain."

I heard about the general's birthday party.

What the hell is this? Why is there news about the General's birthday? ’

I clicked on it.

"General Duke welcomed the forty-two birthdays of July 13, 2030. Since the Great Catastrophe of 2026, General Duke has brought our troops to the summit of the South..."

Reading the article roughly, General Duke seemed to be establishing a sense of seriousness and impersonating a king in the south of the United States. It's a true story from a dystopian movie. A general who commands the Mechanization Brigade when a nuclear war breaks out is worthy of being king. You don't have to be a coup to be president.

General Duke's army must have dodged a nuclear weapon...

With the United States as a normal country, there's no other place to say. Perhaps our country will have one or two regional armies in Seoul and Pyongyang to establish a military right to nuclear weapons. elect a president by vote, and that's when it's peaceful. In an exhibition situation, the gun becomes powerful.

‘By the way, your birthday is political news... It's no different than the old North Korean. ’

Anyway, there was a lot of useful stuff in American news. In particular, people searches were very valid. The two people most commonly used in U.S. portrait searches were, of course, U.S. President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Commission chairman Jerome Powell. These two are literally superpowers of global politics and economics. Searching by these names

‘Reinforce Donald Trump's formulation. I can almost see the oil prices rising.

‘Jerome Powell, Chairman of the FRB. Pigeon remarks suggest solving more dollars to mitigate financial crisis. ’

News like that came out. In a word, what they said, international oil prices rose, and dollar indices fell, making a huge impact on markets around the world. And in fact, it made no difference to me that I had found the treasure vault. I realized that these words actually align with the market, and I called Jean.

“You wanted to see me, boss? ”

“Oh, yeah. Mr. Vice President, I'd like to have a team of my own. ”

“Tim?”

“Yes, the International Gifts Trading Team. because they're quick hands, quick eyes, quick to see things when they can. About ten? ”

Of course, I have occasionally traded gifts before. when, fortunately for us, there is news worth betting on in the 'economy'. However, now that I was able to search for English names, I needed to actively trade. It was because I could earn much more than I used to receive Korean news (knowing Kospi Kosdaq's favours in advance, buying and selling them, leaving between 400 and 50 billion per month). Cospí and Kosdaq are just as hole-in-the-wall as the international gift market or the dollar exchange market.

“Ah… yes, I'll get you a list of about 20 volunteers. ”

“Yes, please. ”

About three days later, Jean brought in 20 profiles.

“It's your direct team, and everyone's dying to do it. ”

“Oh, right. ”

There have been rumors about my company, or the investment industry as a whole. ‘As long as you like President Han Sang-hoon, the salary of hundreds of millions of won is fundamental.' in a way. There were many rumors about money in the investment industry, but the rumors were true. Because Jean's vice president, a few directors, and the secretaries who stood by me became billions of rich together. Working for my immediate team meant a high salary and a high speed promotion.

“Just 20 of them. I'll only pick ten of them based on what I like. ”

“Yes, of course. Boss.”

I created my immediate gift trader team through an interview. All these people did was trade gifts all day, 24 hours a day. I gave them an account of 100 billion won each, and I gave them a strategy based on news from the United States.

“By February next year, the dollar will look down, the oil price will look up. Make sure you only sell and liquidate the dollar, and only buy and liquidate the oil price. We'll settle your earnings at the end of each month and we'll give you one percent. Anyone who loses money for just two consecutive months will be fired immediately. Then run.”

I set ten traders free like a hound. My hounds traded like crazy after seeing 1% performance. Seed money was 100 billion, so if it was good enough, it could take anywhere from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of won in a month or two. In fact, a team member who made a billion in a week appeared.

He was going to earn 100 million at the end of the month just to keep this revenue. There's no need to say two things about being stimulated and burned by team members around him. Anyway, it was good for me. This side was much more profitable and comfortable than the regular Kospi and Kosdaq individuals making blind money.

If I followed my guidelines, the team would make at least KRW 100 to KRW 500 billion a month. Looking at them, I remembered an interview I had with Forbes before.

‘Need more money? ’

‘No, I just want more success than more money. ’

It was a slightly greasy, beautiful answer, but things are a little different now. Obviously, I needed more money. Astronomical-level lobbies must be followed to increase influence in the United States and China's political sphere. I have roughly set up a roadmap.

‘Three years into the next shipwreck... one year of making money, starting in the second year of lobbying, and the third year of making sure none of the American and Chinese politicians didn't eat my money. ’

in a way.

December 2022. Winter. She was diagnosed prenatal. I was hoping to gel my stomach, ultrasound my stomach. That didn't happen. A woman doctor who became the attending physician of Ah-young, who received a single billion dollars, told us.

“Genetic advancements in fortresses allow us to determine a child's genetic trait, not just the blood of a mother. ”

It was only until the 2010 's that I rubbed an ultrasound on my stomach, and by the 2020s, I was able to diagnose almost every condition by taking a drop of blood like a warm hand. I think I've heard that news before on the news in the future.

‘Sejin GC upper limit. Get the patent for the G.N.G. Kit.

About two years ago. The future of the past is now the present.

“Well... let's see. ”

The doctor nodded, looking at the test results.

“It's healthy. It doesn't have any genetic alterations or deletions, and it has the right size and weight, and it's growing well. ”

My husband and I kept our mouths shut.

“That's good.” “Good. ”

Then she looks at us and brings up a rather unnatural story.

“Did... did you buy me something like baby clothes? ”

‘No, I still have a few months left to get the baby out, but do I have to buy it already? ’

I thought about it and told her.

“No, not yet. ”

Then, she said as if passing by.

“Yes, you should live in pink for baby clothes. There's a lot of pretty pink nowadays. ”

As soon as I heard that, I realized why she had brought up the story of infant clothes.

"It's a girl."

“Ah, I see. ”

In a few months, my daughter will be out. A healthy, beautiful daughter. But in order for her to grow up healthy, there was something I had to do. World peace. Upon a sneak peek at the news of the future, the U.S. nuclear war did not seem planned. Between the two, of course.

"Deepening friction between the United States and China."

‘Warning not to sell weapons to Taiwan, China. ’

I saw signs of war in that way.

‘Because ~ I decided to go to war. ’

Or

‘~ The destroyer fired first. ’

There was no concrete news like that. Rather than a week before Doomsday,

"A gesture of reconciliation for China in the United States."

‘The Summit is normal. Meet at the G20 meeting.'

There was such news. So it was hard to see it as a planned war. Neither of those outcomes would have wanted to devastate the world in the first place. You don't want to, but somehow, one nuclear weapon comes out, the other automatically counteracts it, and then it seems to bring about the end of the world.

So maybe, if I dig this way, I think I can stop future wars, even if I don't pay for it. So I made money for world peace, expanded my company, and at the same time I started spying on myself. I had a better spy than anyone.

“You wanted to see me, Jules?"

I met Crowe on the roof of my house. I spoke to him with a slightly heavier tone than usual.

“I'm a little busy in front of Crowe. ”

“That's all right. Just give the order. I'm happy to do whatever you want me to do. ”

I handed him the materials I had prepared. It was a profile of the President of the United States, President of China and key personnel of the U.S. military and the Chinese military. That's all we could find on the Internet.

“Tell me about these people. especially with regard to political weaknesses and nuclear weapons. I'll take a look at the results, and I'll get back to you on your quest. ”

“Yes, Jules. ”

I said one more word to him about wanting to vanish into thin air as usual.

“Pay particular attention to this mission. Crowe. Maybe...”

At my word, Crowe paused and looked at me. I tried to tell him something, but I changed my words for a moment and asked him.

“Crowe, you said you don't talk to people, right? ”

“Of course, I don't talk to anyone in this world but you. ”

Then that's it. I told him.

“Yes, Crowe. Honestly, every civilization on this planet could be wiped out in three years. ”

“... I see. ”

Crowe received my word more heavily than I expected. It feels like I've been to the end of the world once or twice. I looked at him and asked instead of asking him any more questions.

“This is to prevent it. So, please take care of it.

”

Crowe listens to me for a moment, thinks about something, and then answers.

“Yes, Jules. I'll do my best, Mr. Mayor. ”

After saying that, Crowe leaves. In the next 3 years, I will do my best in the sun and in the pitch. To prevent the end of the world.
