Limitless Dream
[419] Burning the Kiwa House (2)
“Mine casualties, what is that? ”
Han Seo-jin urged the answer once again. However, the Ministry of Defense personnel, like a mute who ate honey, could not say anything but look at each other.
I can't lose my mouth.
Especially, the minister who first brought up the story of casualties did not know what to do with the eyes of the spilling followers.
It was full of grumbling eyes that said, "Why did you say something wrong?"
Of course, I thought Han Seo-jin would know, so I mentioned it inadvertently, but I didn't think you'd notice at all.
The minister, who did not overcome the pressures around him, eventually opened his stuttering mouth to explain.
“Hey, Doc. Actually, it's nothing... ”
“Wait a minute.”
Han Seo-jin raises his hand to stop answering and immediately gives a search order to Tartarus.
Seeing his face, the minister seemed like his insides were burning.
A moment later, he turns his head to face the Minister.
“You had an accident while doing a lot of searching, didn't you? The equipment used for the search is now on the tarmac of the deflection-bearing controversy for performance reasons. Six people were maimed in three deaths. ”
“Doctor, there are hundreds of thousands to millions of landmines embedded in the DMZ. While removing many of those mines is not usually difficult, our troops are under scrutiny. Given the difficulty and the danger of the work, it's great to have only nine casualties. ”
“Then what are you bragging about clearing out less than 2,000 mines? ”
“ ……. ”
“How many millions, you said? Is it worth bragging about just removing a few hundred of them? ”
The minister's face rots.
One word hurt, as if it had been beaten by a whirlwind.
It was hard to stand the sight of me shooting at myself like it was ridiculous.
It was unbearable for a young man who could move around even America, not others, to look at himself with those eyes.
“And only nine? Where do you want me to fight for people's lives? I'm not a philanthropist, but you see how I treat soldiers as parts. ”
“That's not what I meant! Our army never sees an individual soldier as a part! ”
“I don't trust you with your rewards. Sometimes the injuries get worse because the treatment was inadequate initially. You don't seem to be doing a lot of diligence when you look at the treatment process. One leg and one soldier who lost both eyes were discharged at the time of discharge, and now they're treating him as Savvy in a private hospital. ”
The members of the Ministry of Defense were dull and white.
No, what did someone who didn't know anything about landmine casualties do in such a short period of time, that they knew the inside of it?
Maybe he was ignoring it on purpose to get control of the flow of conversation?
“And if I had been prepared in the first place, none of this would have happened. ”
“Doctor, this is not talent... ”
“Then I'll see what I can do. ”
Han Seo-jin wedged himself with a grimace.
“I remember when I was a part, but this doesn't seem like anything else. ”
After finishing the dinner in a messy atmosphere, Seojin immediately left the Ministry of Defense.
Then, the middle-aged people visited the hospital in turn and examined their condition.
Of course, the hospital was completely secure.
Finally, he found a hospital where a highly developed patient was admitted.
He could say he was in the worst condition. Unlike other middle-aged people, he lost his sight.
“Eye damage is an unexpected condition for restoring deep sea vision. ”
“ ……. ”
Seojin gazed back at Choi Hyun, who had been sedated and fell asleep.
Short hair, cheeky face. It's only the beginning of the 20th, but we have to live in eternal darkness.
It was hard to imagine how dark life was.
If I had lived in darkness since I was born, I would have been deprived of the blessing of light forever. That loss cannot be said.
“What if you were the hypnotic patient? ”
“You mean me? ”
The secretary who received the question was a little embarrassed, but soon answered.
“I'd rather lose two legs, hearing, and tongue than lose an eye. ”
“Is that it? ”
“In the old days, if a man has a thousand pieces, his eyes are 990 pieces. Especially if you can't see in the modern world, you can't say you're uncomfortable. You can't enjoy funny cartoons, you can't have beautiful scenery. ”
The male executive's secretary stared at Choi Hyun-hyun with a sinking face and said, "Did I become emotional?"
“I don't know if I've known it since birth. What he forced himself to do in a country that wasn't his responsibility, and what wouldn't have happened even if the equipment quality was intact…… would just be blaming the sky. ”
“That's the way life works with parts. ”
“ ……. ”
As I recall the past, my secretary couldn't say anything.
Han Seo-jin motionlessly reached for the glass wall.
I'm frustrated, and there's nothing I can do. I'm just faced with the coming despair.
The appearance of such a hypnotic expression made the past itself seem unfamiliar.
The secretary cautiously spoke to me.
“TF is leading the charge of landmine casualties. I have questions about the performance of metal detectors from the former GK group. It was a performance that did not meet the standard set by the military at the time, but it was said that it went beyond the mature lobby and was approved for cost-effectiveness. ”
“Maybe it's true. ”
It was a fact that there was nothing more to figure out. According to the research done by Tartarus II, the situation was 100% certain.
However, it is a separate matter to demonstrate it legally.
There is already an objective fact, and we need to spend years of quarreling to prove it.
Navigation programs used by the TF team have many limitations.
As long as I can see the flow of this country from my seat, I can see it differently from Seojin.
‘I'd rather press it. ’
I know exactly what will happen in the future. That's why I felt even more pathetic.
A world where there are paths, but they don't walk, it's too stuffy.
* * *
The country was noisy because H consultants publicized the issue of landmine search casualties.
The headlines have been talking about it all day.
The government tried to dissuade the public through pressure, but the media saw more of H's consultants than the government.
“Why is this happening? ”
When the president was frustrated, the members of the State Council carefully advised each other to look after each other.
“There are a number of questions about the performance of the detection equipment supplied by the old GK group. Consultants at H have consulted nine international experts and have concluded that the incident occurred because of the detection equipment. ”
“Sir, the problem is not landmine soldiers. There is a saying that Dr. Han Seo-jin is watching carefully. The Secretary of Defense was publicly scolded at a dinner a while ago. ”
“It even says not to look at the soldier as a part. I'm not angry, but I think it's very uncomfortable to plant. I think it's best to sew it up before Dr. Han Seojin gets more angry. ”
“It was just too ridiculous for us to get our minds right. ”
The Monastery President's head twitches.
I don't know how I got up here, but I don't have a day to be comfortable.
I am the most painful authority, but I have to rule with the knowledge of one person, and I can't do whatever I want.
“The problem is that if you dig through the corruption involved in the delivery of metal detectors, there's a lot going on. ”
Practice is a field that has been rooted for a long time under its name.
If you take out a plant, its roots are widely intertwined throughout the field.
We must never let it get to the roots. I had to cut it off from the base and do something that wasn't there.
“Soldiers of history are generous enough to compensate for public opinion, and GK is thoroughly dug up. But we can't go beyond that. ”
End your responsibilities in the GK group. It was an indication of such a clear will.
If you touch the roots wrong, you might have to knock the whole field down. The question is, how far is the field?
I'd be relieved if it was confined to military protection. But what if it affects the entire military system, and even the political sphere?
What if everything goes upside down?
The president didn't want to imagine the consequences. At least not during his tenure.
“You can finish GK as long as you want. It's important that the fire doesn't spread any further. Do you understand?”
“Yes, sir. ”
In response, the President of the Monastery Guard was only able to smile for a few days.
The public opinion boiled hot as the story of the landmine-damaged soldiers was widely known.
Sympathy toward them, and doubt and anger toward the army pierced the sky.
Many responded greatly to the claim that if there were talent involved, transparent systems, rather than mishaps, during simple tasks, this would never have happened in the first place.
Starting with the need to investigate delivery misconduct, there was a demand to eliminate misconduct and problems across the entire military.
I even heard a violent voice telling me to get rid of the army.
The story of a soldier who lost one leg and two eyes led many to blush.
The mothers who had sons in the army blamed the military for their own misfortunes.
At that time, the government moved largely.
“The search for unverified equipment has now been completely discontinued and we plan to investigate thoroughly to ensure there is no risk of military delivery. There will also be reasonable rewards for the injured soldiers and executives. ”
When the compensation was released, the public opinion boiled in a different way.
It was because they decided to make an overly dramatic reward.
Not only did he make a name for himself as a public defender, he also pledged a lifetime life support of more than KRW 1.5 million.
Living subsidies vary with the price of the water, and costs associated with treatment and sequelae are set, of course.
Here, he promised public disability privileges and a variety of other benefits.
Critically, we decided to pay compensation from at least 500 million to up to one billion, depending on the degree of disability.
In addition to the above benefits, there were four billion guaranteed compensation to families for 3 deaths.
- Is the government crazy? Did you take your meds?
- Even if I die in battle while defending my country... I'll give you up to 4 billion?
I make hot rewards to silence public opinion.
Then the complaint will settle moderately, and if the entire limb or torso of the GK group is blown away, the field can be closed without lifting out.
It was a radical decision made from such calculations. However…….
- Isn't the reward too much? Those are all people's blood. Wow, I can't believe it.
- Oh, fuck. I should have stepped on a landmine.
You say it's too generous a reward, and the voice of complaints grows slightly.
