I am Noble

00207 Land grabbing

Su Kyung Woong's couple and Professor Hand in the Cheongwa University were guided to the meeting room. The conference room was already awaited by the president, the ministers, and the staff. The professor of the hand swallowed the saliva. I'm not interested in politics, but if I'm not nervous in a place like this, I'm not a person.

The pressure of the supreme authority given at the center of the power of my country was unusual. My whole body is tingling.

“Welcome. Did you feel uncomfortable?”

“It was fine.”

Yeong-woong calmly replied and sat down. Jeong Hyojoo didn't look too nervous. The professor of the hand was embarrassed for no reason.

“I want to hear your thoughts and decisions first. ”

It's like, "Brief me. 'It sounded like the president stopped smiling. But the one with the knife sack is over there. From now on, you have to gain concessions over there in the rationale of national interest.

“Would it be easier for you to start with a conclusion and explain why? ”

“Yes, I like that. ”

“Very well. We've decided it's best to accept the request of the United States. Of course, you can't force Young-woong. Our position is persuasive. ”

“Yes.”

“Let me explain why. This is the most important reason. Unlike other monsters, this monster reproduces quickly. We have concerns about getting out of the United States and into the world if we don't defeat them early. By then, not just the United States, not just any other country, will ever be a safe zone. ”

“I've never heard that story before. ”

“That's because we've discovered it recently. Director Rudin will explain himself. ”

Director Rudine is in the conference room momentarily. He bows and greets politely, plugging his memory into his computer. Immediately, various video materials appeared on the wall screen.

“The Plant Squad Monsters are largely indigenous and indigenous. The mother is kind of like a queen bee. The self is born from the mother, but the self does not reproduce or divide. And they take a piece of tissue away and they create a maternal object that is identical to their own. ”

On the screen, the individual splits a piece of the stem and creates another parent object. One stalk of a 20-metre tall vegetable monster fell out, and the split stalk twitched and grew strangely just by looking at the video.

“We now have about 100,000 hectares of five and countless populations. It's almost impossible to deploy a standard strike force and eliminate it. ”

“What about the nuclear card? ”

The ministers were embarrassed when Yu Yu Ung asked. Nuclear cards! It wasn't an easy question to ask in front of Director Rudin.

“As you tried once last year, there is a possibility that some of the trunk debris may have traveled far in a thermal storm. In fact, that's how the population in the central region seems to have grown. ”

“So it's not like spores or seeds? ”

“It is now confirmed as a false hypothesis. ”

Yeong-woong glanced at the professor. Like it's your turn. He took the courage to ask questions.

“If you got rid of it with a nuke last year, wouldn't there be a chance that the trunk fell off at another point? Who's to say that exterminating that thing is the end of it? ”

“If I had a sculpture like that, I would have grown up and gone crazy. This is a hypothesis based on the growth rate. At the moment, I'm guessing nothing else has fallen apart. ”

“Is there a reason you need Janice's help to wipe out that monster army? ”

“You'll need shield capability to catch a large herd of dense monsters. The only other option is nuclear. But if you use a nucleus, you have the same concerns about trunks spreading out in a thermal storm as before. If it crashes into the ocean, it could flow into the ocean and into another continent. ”

“I don't know. No matter how many monsters there are, I don't think it's possible to deploy multiple tankers and take them out one by one. Isn't the number of radars in the United States the best in the world? It will be easier if you ask Korea to rent defensive equipment. Have you ever tried that? ”

Rudin's expression crumples. The president's face became uncomfortable. One of the ministers steps forward to see if there is a stabbing.

“That story is a national secret. Next.... ”

“No, let me be clear. Have you ever requested defensive gear, or not? ”

After Yusuf's fall, the Minister retreated with a slight expression. The president replied:

“The United States has never made such a request. ”

“Why?”

Rudin answered the question instead.

“For the safest and most secure handling. No tactic could guarantee a complete annihilation except by engaging shield capabilities. ”

There was an awkward silence. The professor, who was watching nearby, texted Yusuf.

I have something to hide. Maybe there's a backdoor deal.

Yusuf nodded.

“I want to monopolize you. ”

“Hey! You! What are you talking about? ”

“Are you making fun of the President? ”

The chief of staff stood up in shock and protested. Su Kyung Ung was ridiculous. I mean, why can't smart people just get in the way?

Rather, the president was surprised and held back.

“Stop it! Everyone out. ”

“Yes, Mr. President? ”

“We were going to talk about it anyway. Get out.”

With a firm cut, the Chief of Staff had to step back from there, speechless. There are only four left for the Secretary of State and Rudin. The president's eyes turned to Professor Hand.

“Is it okay for him to come in with you? It's a national secret."

“I don't know. I need a consultant to make a decision. Advisors need to know the details to give advice. I assure you of your security. ”

He said there was nothing more the president could say. The president, who had organized his thoughts, cleared his voice.

“When I was a candidate, the commitments I made had something in common: the self-economic system. We can't rule out food sovereignty. The most painful person should look not only at a year or two, but also at the future in a few decades. It looks like a rich society without food shortages, but in fact, a large grain major is shaking the food distribution around the world. ”

“ ……. ”

“The emergence of the botanical Red Mob last year left part of the Great Plains unusable, and the grain majors' signs have changed dramatically. And, hypothetically, my country lost its largest grain reserve. The food problem that we thought was only a matter of the distant future could erupt for years or years to come. ”

Professor Hand was surprised and reacted.

“Then, Madam President...? ”

“So I made a deal with the United States. If you solve the monster problem, the United States will give you some of the land of the Great Plains. Of course, it's not a territorial dividend, it's a transfer of private ownership. ”

That's what I heard a few days ago. And that's not what the president was hiding.

“We've already made a deal with the United States. He made a verbal commitment to try and convince you to cooperate as best he could. That's what I didn't say. ”

“You made your decision before you talked to me. ”

“I'm sorry. I thought it was for the benefit of the country. I just want you to be honest and cooperate. ”

Su Kyung Ung, who thought for a moment, asked the professor of the hand.

“What do you think? ”

“If you don't own the territory and you don't own the property, if the United States is at a disadvantage, you can foreclose as much as you want under special laws. The United States is a free country on the outside, but it's a thorough country in the protection of national trade. ”

“You mean it's useless to take the land? ”

“I wish I had it. Depending on how much you pay for it, it's going to cost you money in the future. You have to think you can't find it if things go bad. ”

The president disagreed.

“The United States can't do that as long as there is a Yeouiwoong commander. ”

“It's only been a few decades. And what would you do if Yu Yu Woong were to settle in the United States? ”

The president was also speechless. Professor Hand kept spreading his tale.

“America already has a record. What would you do if you were to detain Yeong-woong troops? You know how great it is to be able to take down the Red Mob without using a nuke? The United States is a four-legged country if you don't see it. ”

“We have plenty of contingency for that. ”

“I heard that already. But it's not enough. If we do it safely, Yusuf might be disappointed and naturalize the United States at all. because it would be easier for Yuyuang to be in the military. ”

Professor Hand has some pretty aggressive logic. It was something that Yu Yu Woong felt sorry for.

The legend followed, and Yusuf enjoyed watching the two of them argue. The dispute lasted for almost an hour. The president was sweating on his forehead.

“I understand what you're saying. ”

After Yusuf stopped speaking, the two of them stopped speaking as if they had promised.

“I'll take it as seriously as I can. ”

“Captain Yeouiwoong. I mean... ”

“I understand your position. ”

His expression was resolute. I had nothing more to say. The president had no choice but to show him out. I did everything I could. I just wanted him to accept it.

“If the reproductive ecology of plant monsters is, it's better to suppress them early. If the whole world is covered with plant monsters, Korea is not a safe zone. ”

“But is that true? ”

“Reality cannot be determined unless it is thoroughly investigated. But I didn't think it was a lie. The problem is, if they're telling the truth, there's no time. ”

“Can I go to America and come back safely? ”

“If you do it the way the president suggested, it's almost like that. With the United Nations peacekeepers and multinational auditors on the ground, we can't do anything about it. Rather than waving their tails at you and dragging them into their own citizenry, I'd be a hundred times more comfortable. ”

“Is there any truth to what the President says? We're going to get the Great Plains to solve the food problem. ”

“He's been caring about food self-sufficiency ever since he was a political rookie. It's not a lie. There's constant consistency in policy direction. And it's true that grain major movement is unusual. Food prices will skyrocket in the near future. ”

“Food.... ”

That was fresh for Yeong-woong. I had never thought that food would become a weapon. It's easy to buy rice, meat and vegetables, isn't it? But I never thought there would be such a dynamics of power in an invisible shadow.

“What can I do? ”

“I think you've already made up your mind. A sink is a person who predicts outcomes based on multiple decisions, not a person who makes them for you. ”

Yeong-woong smiled. He takes out Rudin's business card. I looked inside for a moment and dialed the number. The user answers the phone before the tone rings twice.

"Greetings"

“How much land will you give me if Korea persuades me? ”

"Two million hectares.

“Then I want about 20 million hectares. ”

Rudin is silent for a moment. He seemed quite surprised. Yeong-woong sneered and said.

“Nuclear or incapable of catching monsters, is this cheaper? ”

I'll pass it on to the White House…… I don't think it's going to be hard.

“Please.”

She hung up the phone and muttered.

“But who builds farming? It's a lot of land. ”
