The Returner

1. I was foolish (4)

“What's the situation? ”

“Well, to be precise, it's a fuzzy situation. ”

“Is that what you're saying? ”

“What do I do when I have limited incoming information?" It's not just on our side now, it's in Japan, it's in the U.S., it's in China. ”

“It wasn't always like this. ”

The Secretary of Defense frowns and sighs.

“It's the monsters. ”

“Monster?”

“Most of the peacekeepers escaped from the Pyongyang during this wave. It's a situation where the Pyongyang can be pushed away if it's wrong, but we can't ask them to keep digging for information. ”

“Mmmm... ”

There was also a reasonable explanation from the Minister of Commerce.

Even if being a spy is in charge of extracting information, you cannot tell them to devote their lives to their country.

This is not the Cold War, nor is there a state of extreme tension like in the past.

Under such circumstances, the mission to secure the lives of the ducs was limited.

“So you're saying we should just look at it? ”

“There's no other way. ”

“Do you have any other channels? ”

“Even Russia and China, which have the greatest influence on North Korea, are also in sight. ”

“Hmm.”

The minister of defense was concerned about how to deal with the situation.

“What about the media? ”

“I don't think I've smelled it yet. It's not just the informants who have retreated from North Korea. The scouts who were in North Korea have all escaped. ”

“Then there's still time. ”

"As soon as the lines to China are restored, the tide will grow," he said, "as the communications are controlled from the north. The US media already seems to be half aware, but it seems that the US government is blocking it considering its relationship with Korea. ”

“There's a limit to stopping it, so it's only a matter of time before things get out of the way." ”

“That's right.”

“Hnng.”

The Secretary of Defense took the cigarette out of his pocket and asked.

“How do I report this to the President? ”

“Is there any other way to report it as it is? We didn't do anything wrong. ”

“Will the people think so? If there was a coup in North Korea and we were waiting with no idea what was going on and no notice, we'd be standing there right now with the opposition party. ”

“It doesn't matter what we put on them anyway. It's all politics. ”

“Well, we would have done more if we were on the other side. ”

“Minister!"

Then, the door opens and the assistant comes inside.

“What's going on? ”

“Representative Park Min-cheol has requested an interview. ”

“President Park Min-cheol? ”

It's Park Min-cheol, not the party representative. Why did that person suddenly ask for an interview... ….

“I see.”

In the defense minister's recitation, the minister in chief also frowned. Without the smell of what was happening in North Korea, he had no reason to suddenly ask himself for an interview.

“When did he ask to see you? ”

“He's waiting in front of the temple right now. ”

“Hnng.”

There was no way out of this.

“What should I do? ”

“What exactly can I do? ”

Secretary Tongsan exclaimed. President Yoon Young-min is being evaluated for his lack of political strength. It is an advantage that the image is strong and clean, but the politics is not strong enough to survive the political plagues of all kinds of magicians. Thanks to this, Chief Secretary Park Doo-jin was actually in control of the politics.

But when I became an opposition representative, I wasn't in control in the name of the secretary.

Even if President Yoon Young-min moves by himself, he won't blink an eye. How can he stop him?

“What should I do……. ”

“Let's wrap it up for now. ”

“I've known him for a long time. Why don't you go around him?" If you keep your mouth shut for no reason, you'll have to watch the press explode. ”

“Hmm.”

Major media outlets are still working on their mouths, but major media are also hit if they are first reported in the family-oriented media.

Then they will have to hear their grumbling as well.

“What should I do about this situation……. ”

“What are you going to do about it? Is the opposition party supposed to ask for information about North Korea? ”

“Huh?"

The minister of defense groans as he opens the door and sees someone coming inside.

“Cha, Governor? ”

Am I right?

Isn't it?

Does that sound right to you?

“Why are you acting like you've never seen anyone before? ”

“No, it's ……. ”

I couldn't help but be surprised.

It is said that Song Jung-soo corrected not to fit the age, but it was due to age, and is actually over sixty years old.

Although his body size was not small, he was only a person fit for his age.

However, people were so different while I was not looking at them.

“Huh, I'll burst my thigh. ”

“Hmm, I have to get a new outfit... Time is running out. ”

Song Jong-soo kicked his tongue, looking at his suit when his pants were about to burst. I bought this costly clothing at a luxury store, but it looks like I'm going to throw it away.

“Uh, why the shoulder? ”

“What's wrong with my shoulder? ”

“I feel like you're carrying one more person around. ”

“Hehe, is that so? ”

Song Jung-soo smiled lightly and walked in. The minister of defense quickly got up and gave him his seat.

No matter how spectacular he is, he cannot be seated in the seat of Song Jeong-su. Who would dare presume to outrank Song Jeong-su without the President?

“He asked for an interview? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“I'll take care of him. ”

“Oh, Governor! ”

Tongsan was surprised and looked at Song Jung-soo.

Given Song's career, status, and political history, the current opposition party's representatives could not dare face Song Jing-soo. Sewing is not a problem as long as Song Seung Soo is able to do it.

However, Song has been hostile to the government so far. Although it seems to be cooperative because of the eyes of the people, it was known that Song Jeong-soo and Yoon-min were supporting the political community.

It was not surprising that such a Song Jung-soo left the shield of the current regime.

“Would you?”

“It's not easy. ”

Song Jung-soo leaned back, shrugging his shoulders.

Rare.

At that moment, the seams of the suit burst, revealing the bronzed bare flesh of the shoulders that made me doubt that it was stuffed with broken thighs and mulberry juice.

“Huff.”

After seeing the scene, the Secretary of Defense trembled.

Since he was a soldier, he was confident in his physical strength. I'm a commander, but I've been steadily building up to this day with the belief that the soldier who came out of the belly is not a soldier, even though he doesn't run on the ground.

However, Song Jung-soo's body, exposed between the torn clothes, was enough to destroy the Minister of Defense's pride in a moment.

“Hey, did you take your medicine? ”

“Medicine?”

“Steroids……. ”

“Haha.”

I made a joke by removing the clothes that had turned into mop pieces.

“Call the medicine or something and tell them to bring some clothes. I can't even go outside like this. ”

“I'll give you instructions right away. ”

Secretary Tongsun picked up his phone and ordered his secretary to buy ready-to-wear. Enhanced size.

“This is embarrassing. ”

Song Jung-soo smiled awkwardly.

“You look younger, don't you? ”

“Is that so?"

“If you get the camera, Governor Song Jeong-soo's plastics will appear in the search term. ”

“Hnng, exposure is good, but I don't want to be exposed to it. ”

Song Jeongsoo sighed and said.

“Are you aware of the situation in North Korea? ”

“I have no idea. ”

“I think so. How's the president doing? ”

“On purpose?”

“There must have been directions. ”

“I... I don't have any instructions for that. I don't have any information, so I asked you to gather information first... ”

Song Jung-soo kicked his tongue with an unfair face.

“That way, the people below can't catch cold. Who cares about direction when there's information? Because there is no information, it is not oriented. At this time, you should direct the direction and attitude of a consistent policy. ”

‘That's what I'm saying. ’

"Yes, it is."

Although they could not put it out of their mouths, they both empathized that Song Jeong-soo was right.

“I'll talk to the president about the details, so gather more information for now. The direction is the same as the welfare.”

“Welfare?”

“Don't move. We can't move. No matter how you move, the damage will be greater. Act like you don't know anything, like you don't understand anything. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Foolish is better than wise now. Tell me I didn't know better than to tell you to shut up. There's nothing to do after the Minister anyway. ”

“… yes. ”

“Then don't be swayed by showmanship. Empower your upper body. It's patriotic. ”

“I will.”

Song Jeong-soo nodded.

It was true because Song Jung-soo told Yoon Young Min to empower herself.

“And the Secretary of Defense. ”

“Yes.”

“I need all the information about LEE Hyuk and NDF. I know it's confidential, but I'll get my own permission, so I need your data. ”

“Lee Ji-hyuk... ”

The minister of defense's words are blurred as if they were in trouble. Other than Song Jeong-soo, the party governor, there was no way to divulge information about top level national secrets to someone who was not officially assigned by the government.

“That's why I get permission. I'm not asking you right now, I'm asking for permission, so I'm going to ask you to be prepared. ”

“I'll do that. Then why Lee Ji-hyuk all of a sudden? ”

“I think I've been thinking about something wrong. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Lee Hyuk shouldn't have been a factor in supporting the country. ”

“Yes?”

“Lee Hyuk doesn't need a country, but Lee Hyuk needs a country. So what should the country do? ”

“That's right…. ”

“Abandon all authority. For now, it's our job to support and help him as much as possible. ”

The Secretary of Defense was blinded.

I also wondered if the person in front of me was really Song Seung Soo whom he knew. Song Jeong-su was famous for not being favorable to abilities. I can't believe he's considering his full support for Lee Hyuk.

“No doubt, no doubt. Anyone who knows the situation will make the same decision as me. I'm just a little late. ”

Song Jong-soo got up from his seat.

“Will you report to the top? Tell the opposition kid to wait a little longer. I need to see the president first. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Song Jong-soo waited for a suit to be bought by his secretary, watching some of the ministers running out to put in contact with the secretary.

“… can I wear ready-to-wear clothes? ”

She sighs as she looks at her muscles.
