The Returner

- Isn't it too much to ask? This is a fixation on the situation.

“Fixation?”

The world crumbles like a domino. As the two forces converge, the Middle East, Europe, East Asia and the United States will collapse one after the other, which is barely balanced.

“Well……. ”

There was no argument.

The reason why South Korea is holding on is also because of the strong ground firepower of the Ministry of Ambition. In this situation, what will happen when the Chinese horsemen join the front lines?

They won't even have time to bite the defense line, and they'll run straight through Busan.

― When simulating all the current situations, it was concluded that the first place to stop it was Korea.

“Are we that dangerous? ”

- Some places are even more dangerous. However, if Korea is breached now, the damage will be the greatest. It's already at the end of the map. Unless the Horsemen come across the sea and attack here, they'll go the other way. And then you join the spots in China, you clean up China and India, you join forces in the Middle East, you join forces in Europe.

“... Destruction. ”

You must feel like you're playing a scavenger hunt.

Even if it is a strategy simulation.

A situation that is somewhat equal or building a wire creates a situation that can be pushed or pushed slightly, but the moment a power car is pierced and tilted, the tour begins from there.

If you can't handle the troops in one lump, all you have to do is run away.

And unfortunately, humans were unable to leave Earth.

“We have to go to Mars. ”

- What do you mean?

“No, no. ”

I looked at Christopher with Song Jong-soo's sinking eyes.

The dark circles were clear around his eyes. Probably suffering that much, no, more. Unlike Song Jung-soo, who only cares about Korea, Christopher has to care about the world.

“... what would you think if you were normal? ”

I don't think that man can think of anything that would benefit him. If you try to take a small gain, the whole world will perish. And the man he knew, Christopher McClaren, was not that stupid.

It may not be a cause, but it is time for everyone to come together for a common purpose.

“For now, if you'd lend me a cat's hand, whatever the purpose, you'd have to stab him in the head to be grateful. ”

― I don't want any such treatment.

“What's the plan? ”

― Send the fleet and the army. I intend to send a fleet of fighters aboard.

“That's more than I expected. ”

- and the Japan Self-Defense Force.

“The vigilante?”

Song Jung-soo's face distorted.

“When you asked for that much support, you wiped your mouth, and now you're back? ”

- Hope for the safety of your country is everyone's default course of action. However, they understand that if Korea is breached, Japan is also finished.

“And if this were resolved, you would have even threatened to wipe out Japan? ”

― No comment.

Christopher chuckles.

‘Damn it.'

Song Jeongsoo couldn't bear the bitterness.

America, who has been pressuring Lee Hyuk ever since he lost his strength, is now willing to help and reaching out. The situation changes at all times and shifts.

"This is politics. ’

Sounds good.

If it could be of benefit to the country, Christopher could drink urine, not spit. It was time to spit it all out and smile.

“Of course.”

Song Jeong-soo looked back at Yoon Young-min. Yoon Young-min had the right to decide, not him.

“Mmmm... ”

Yoon Young-min swallowed his brow and opened her mouth.

“As a representative of the Republic of Korea, I thank the United States for its help, regardless of the reason. ”

- You're welcome, Mr. President.

“And at this rate……. ”

Yoon Young-min said with a somewhat playful face.

“I hope you have some Naval Self-Defense Force support, not some useless Land Self-Defense Force. ”

- The Marine Self-Defense Force?

“Depending on the ship, we could enter the Han River and use it as a fixed cannon, or we could attack from the coast. ”

― That's a good point. There are very few gates open in the sea anyway, so we will support all available resources there.

“Will Japan follow you gently? ”

― Mr. President.

Christopher grins as he sweeps his beard off his face.

- You're not forgetting that's our specialty, are you?

“Thank you for the good answer. ”

― Then we'll make sure we hear your request as soon as possible.

At that moment, Song Jung-soo intercepted the horse.

“But it wouldn't normally take that long to get it to the harbor. ”

- First of all, seven and eight fleets will move into the East and West seas. Even a loaded air force would be helpful. We will send the army and other available sacks as soon as possible.

“I understand. ”

Christopher frowned as if Song Jung-soo had convinced him.

- And I have a favor to ask you.

“Please?”

― The list has been passed down from Mr. Choi. Most of them are Koreans.Please secure their recruits quickly.

“What do you mean, recruit? ”

- The last burrow of humanity is the driving force.

The Last Breach of humanity?

Song Jung-soo nodded, understanding what that word means.

“Obviously, it's better to protect the United States than us. ”

― Thank you for your understanding.

“Most of them are probably in the bunker right now, so it won't take long. I'll put out a BOLO and transport the rest of the men on the flight. ”

Christopher nods quietly and looks at the list on his desk.

‘Things I hadn't thought of. ’

Obviously, this was an important issue. It was not just a one-dimensional idea to protect important acquaintances.

No matter what anyone says, Lee Hyuk is the key to Noah's ark led by Lee Hyuk. And when they returned to Earth, just like in the performance enhancement NDF of Lee Hyuk, there was a high probability that everyone would be thoroughly accommodated by Lee Hyuk.

‘You shouldn't lose the will of Yi Hyuk. ’

If most of Lee Hyuk's acquaintances died, there was a high probability that his desire to protect Lee Hyuk's gender-improving planet would be severely degraded.

Christopher or the leaders of the countries should care first, but Jung-hoon caught what they missed.

‘That's why I can't ignore Choi Jung-hoon. ’

Christopher knocks on his desk, grinning.

Watching a child grow up like that was a joy that transcended nationality.

- Now, it's a little strange to say this....

An awkward look came to his face.

― It's a shameful story, but the fate of the world depends on you.

“ ……. ”

― I started with Lee Hyuk, but I've talked to you for a long time. Even if we don't meet again, don't forget that the United States and I are grateful to you.

“Enough evil talk, Mr. MacLaren. ”

Song Jung-soo smiled.

“We're not going to die. ”

- I hope so.

Christopher smiles lightly.

It was a soft smile that Song Jung-soo had never seen.

- Please be careful what you say. Yeah, sure.

Song Ji-woong wept as his vision faded.

If only I could survive. ’

There was a time when I used to spend all my energy towards the pinnacle of power in this country. Now that I think about it, I start thinking about why you did something so stupid.

Even if it holds power, it is useless.

What good would it be to take a position to satisfy that fewer than a handful of needs?

“I could use a trip. ”

“May I come with you? ”

“Hehe.”

Song Jung-soo smiled brightly.

“It's been a while since I've had a drink with the President. If this goes well, we'll have to pour ourselves a drink. ”

“It wasn't the right place for a drink. ”

Song Jung-soo nods.

I am tired of drinking to control each other and think about how to eat with each other.

“I hope it's time to put it all down. ”

“I agree.”

The two looked at each other bitterly.

“You've had enough, now you have to work. ”

“I got paid enough. ”

Song Jung-soo took out a cigarette and asked me.

I long for a dry bowl on a rainy day, but it's over to get wet. Their situation was so busy and urgent that there was no room for emotion.

“It's about the wire. ”

Song Jung-soo said with a stiff face.

“I was going to slip back and forth the lines that are currently stationed beneath the Han River, but in the current situation, if the U.S. Navy, the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the additional supplies and the Army are replenished there, I can try to fix the lines in the Han River even with a little bit of sacrifice. ”

“I need to speak to the Secretary of Defense. ”

“I think you'll agree. ”

That's how a gun fight works.

Produce and fight using everything available. It is important to struggle on the front, but production must be done properly.

Domestic production could not have been achieved if it had been pushed backwards. It is not the same as in the time of the Korean War when ammunition and food could be supported on a large scale from abroad.

If this many are pushed to the falls, they will die from lack of supplies and production.

“If we can keep it, we'll see. ”

Yoon Young-min nodded with a stiff face.

Song Jung-soo slowly emitted cigarette smoke.

‘What a final battle. ’

There's only one thing left. Can they survive until Lee Hyuk returns or not?

There is no guarantee that Lee Hyuk will be able to defeat them… but this was the only hope left.

“Hehe.”

I smiled bitterly.

I never thought there would be a battle for humanity in their lifetime.

“I thought if humanity went down, it would be the aliens. ”

“Or nuclear war. ”

“Either way, if we survive this war, we can make history. There can be no greater glory as a politician. ”

“I don't need that kind of glory. ”

Song Jong-soo picked up the phone and called the Secretary of Defense.

Then I took a low breath.

Now it will be their final rest until the minister of defense enters this conference room.

Song's eyes closed as she cooled the intricately tangled head.

‘Whatever.'

I wouldn't hear it, but I couldn't help it.

‘Please come back soon. ’
