Central Intelligence Director Dispatch (1)

The implication of the word rebellion the president tensed nerves clear.

Physical, political acts a specific power and force group commits for the purpose of conquering the country.

That is, the president recalled the military coup held in the past.

“Coup progress situation?”

“Your Excellency, no coup.”

“Guns 80,000, tanks 9, gunpowder and bomb types 10 tons!”

Bang!

The president couldn’t endure and struck the office desk.

“If not rebellion no way hid that many weapons!”

The president exhaled roughened breath.

“Who the ringleader? What bastard dare······!”

Bang!

“North Korea, US? Or received Japan’s instigation?”

“Your Excellency.”

“Army, marines, civil uprising? Answer properly!”

“Please calm.”

“Do I look like calming now?”

“Your Excellency, already suppression finished matter.”

The central intelligence director said calmly.

“Thoroughly searched all illegal weapon warehouses hidden along Busan and Gyeongnam, the coast.”

The central intelligence director held out the black document file titled <​Warehouse Seized Goods List>.

“Also raided the site and arrested important figures. Heard executive-level personnel.”

“Weed out all related persons cooperating with prosecutors and police!”

Already doing matter.

But the central intelligence director obediently answered “Yes.”

“Blockade Busan Gyeongnam area and control vehicles and ships too!”

“Yes.”

“Send official documents to newspaper companies and broadcasting stations too!”

“Distributing montages and wanted flyers of fled important figures and putting total force into securing custody.”

Searching the market and commercial district thoroughly for several days with such pretext.

Anti-communism a pretext for mobilizing public power stronger than anything.

“North Korea remittance book?”

“Obtaining ledger and catching.”

“Smuggling ships?”

“Searching about 40 ports in Busan Gyeongnam area.”

The president’s eyes sank.

“Public officials or politicians who intervened in this incident?”

“No leniency for those estimated as forces related to rebellion. Will catch all regardless of status high or low and show example.”

“······Have to.”

Thud.

The president sat on the office chair and tightly pressed the throbbing temples.

The fully crumpled brow didn’t know to unfold.

“Report in real time without omitting even one particle.”

“Of course. Not top priority national security matter.”

“Rebellion in Busan······.”

Tak. Tak. Tak. Tak.

The president tapped the office desk with fingertips with eyes closed.

“Guns 80,000 tanks 9, gunpowder and bombs 10 tons. How many think can arm?”

“Your Excellency.”

“If giving guns immediately now manpower that will turn into armed groups at once full in the Republic of Korea.”

The Republic of Korea implementing conscription system.

The Republic of Korea preparing for wartime situation with reserve forces and civil defense forces even after discharge.

Experienced Korean War and Vietnam War, so available troops with combat experience numerous.

“There if even military units join?”

The president and central intelligence director seized power raising military coup.

“Your Excellency, since discovered in advance the guys’ plan failed, and now only fallen to a status waiting for retaliation.”

The central intelligence director said cutting.

“Please trust and entrust this matter to me and central intelligence. Will thoroughly investigate and pull out the roots.”

“Confident?”

“Confident.”

Only then the president looked at the central intelligence director with somewhat softened eyes.

“Jae-guk.”

The central intelligence director’s name.

A title rarely called in public seats.

The president and central intelligence director same hometown senior junior relationship.

“North Korea also, military rebellion also. I absolutely can’t tolerate.”

“Of course.”

At the unwavering answer the president nodded heavily.

The central intelligence director didn’t stop there.

“Your Excellency, not a time not much left until the presidential election. How about gathering public sentiment as one in this opportunity?”

“Public sentiment?”

“From old times many leaders pointed external enemies for group unity.”

A method that can obtain large effect with the least cost.

So religious, social, political leaders can’t help preferring.

“North Korea’s provocation, armed guerrillas’ disturbance. Not appropriate as a topic arousing crisis consciousness?”

The president glanced at the thrown newspaper.

Prosecutors and police fully dispatched! Sweep North Korea armed guerrilla forces!

Angry citizens’ shouts, ‘Will fight against North Korea’s provocation!’

Thoroughly dig North Korea-origin rebellion conspiracy!

Stories talked about in Busan Gyeongnam area newspapers and broadcasts.

“In this opportunity if blowing the trumpet larger scale largely even the US military will be startled a lot and strengthen alert posture?”

Anyway accumulating ill feelings toward the US government.

The Republic of Korea an armistice country, and North Korea’s invasion doesn’t stop.

The US government forced withdrawal of US forces in Korea putting forward labor human rights.

The reason the president gritted teeth and shouted self-reliance and strengthening independent national defense.

“If the situation becomes like this the US government also hard pushing the US forces in Korea withdrawal card for a while.”

“External enemies running wild so labor movement and democratization movement also will quiet for a while.”

“The US government’s bullshit that ran wild making excuses of labor or human rights in the meantime also quiet?”

“Koreagate closed so the US now busy even internal control.”

The merit of closing Koreagate also the central intelligence director established.

Recalling that fact, the president’s gaze looking at the central intelligence director softened a bit more.

The central intelligence director added.

“Your Excellency, if large-scale media propaganda just a suitable person to take this matter?”

“U-gwang.”

The president struck the knee tak.

“Put contact to U-gwang. Tell to do trumpet role solidly.”

“Saved saying so. Have to do rice price properly.”

The sound if even that can’t do properly no reason to see.

The president covered the report tak with a somewhat refreshed expression.

“A grave matter. This matter you go down directly and process certainly.”

“Yes, understood.”

“If support needed request anything.”

“Yes.”

“Guys related to coup······.”

The president’s eyes lowered thinly shone coldly.

“Remove all.”

“Yes.”

“No exception.”

Rattle.

The president opened the drawer.

Took out the golden nameplate with the Blue House mark stuck and threw.

The central intelligence director received the flying golden nameplate tak.

“This······!”

“Trust and entrust.”

The president tapped the central intelligence director’s shoulder.

A hand containing trust and concern.

The Blue House security chief who watched that appearance tightly gripped a fist.

But nothing else could do in this situation now.

The central intelligence director shouted largely.

“Will depart immediately now!”

* * *

One phone call came to the Busan mayor’s office.

Ring!

-Contacting from the Blue House secretary’s office.

An emergency phone the Blue House turned instead of official document.

“Yes? The central intelligence director coming down directly?”

The Blue House’s instruction to actively cooperate with central intelligence.

“Weed out impure elements who participated in rebellion conspiracy?”

The moment hearing the conveyed matters spirit became distant.

“Even large-scale audit and tax investigation······?”

The more hearing the more shocked.

‘The sound of really determined searching related persons who received back money and opened the port······.’

The Busan mayor swallowed dry saliva gulp.

-Mayor Lee unrelated to this matter correct?

-Hope not received back money from rebellion conspiracy forces and turned a blind eye.

-His Excellency’s anger tremendous. Have to clean up the situation as fast as possible.

Click.

The Busan mayor who put down the phone urgently wiped the face.

“What all this sound?”

Rebellion conspiracy!

Armed guerrillas and rebel ringleader!

Captured signs of trying to raise military coup!

His Excellency the president’s anger tremendous!

Sending the central intelligence director directly!

“Mere searched mackerel warehouse?”

Scale became larger than thought too large!

The Busan mayor tore hair with a suffering sound.

“Guns 80,000, tanks 9, gunpowder and bombs 10 tons?”

What such came out from mackerel warehouse?

“Crazy!”

Originally public office life all such law not?

Moderately giving, moderately turning a blind eye instead moderately eating, moderately taking care.

Only received thick pocket giving various interests moderately and turning a blind eye moderately to matters occurring at Busan Port as price.

For the second political life heading to the metropolitan area in the future.

Politics takes a lot of money.

“These bastards, if dying die alone! What thought smuggling that many weapons and making this mess!”

Anyway the previous mayor took off clothes and left because of the drug king.

This time I about to take off clothes.

No, fortunate if only taking off clothes?

“This if unluckily wrongly caught immediately neck denggang!”

Not slang but real neck.

The president sensitive to words of rebellion and military coup, uprising anyway.

“This fuck, if slightly even I X?”

Already the back of the head ominous.

Even the Busan mayor position colorless.

Only received threats total three times in the recent ten days.

First, Lawyer Jang’s threat.

-If received back money have to do money price.

-If can’t take out the smuggling king immediately now Mayor Lee’s position will become quite troublesome.

-Received materials so will understand what this words?

-How think your materials will be used?

So went to central intelligence the next day and made a fuss.

But that afternoon, a central intelligence agent called Han Myeong-ho came and received another threat.

-Okay public official eating back money and even obstructing public duty performance?

-Want to be dragged to the water torture room entangled as one team?

-Keep in mind. This a spy incident. Or process as high-ranking public official’s bribery corruption incident?

-If understood what words hope catch action line properly going forward.

So volunteered for press conference the next day and declared war on spies.

But today, the Blue House gave another chilling warning.

Entangled with words of rebellion conspiracy and rebel army.

“Damn······!”

All directions minefield.

Ring!

Anyway disturbed yet the phone bell rang persistently.

Persistent and urgent will of absolutely not hanging up conveyed.

The Busan mayor nervously picked up the phone.

“Don’t connect phones in front of me for a while and all hang······!”

-Received the phone from the Blue House?

An rude question entering immediately cutting the waist of words without even revealing identity!

Somehow familiar voice.

“By any chance Chief Prosecutor Park?”

-Yes, me!

Busan chief prosecutor.

The impatient Busan chief prosecutor immediately went to the main point.

-Found a way out?

“······The words I want to ask precisely that. No method?”

-How about recruiting the central intelligence director?

“Will work?”

If that easy would I be tearing hair here?

The Busan mayor shouted loudly like irritation.

“His Excellency paying attention so bloodshot to catch cases somehow and raise performance, think persuasion will work? The opponent the central intelligence director!”

A guy within the five fingers among this country’s highest power holders!

“What that man regrettable? Rather will try to buy His Excellency’s favor offering us as sacrifice.”

-Then saying wait only for disposition to come down empty-handed?

The Busan chief prosecutor’s voice also sharp as if edged.

The back of the head chilling the same for him.

-The materials the smuggling king scattered when last struggling, received?

“······Probing me now?”

-What probing? Kindly informing materials of Mayor Lee delivered to me.

“Keuuung!”

The Busan mayor tore the head once more.

Judging by the sigh heard from across the phone, the Busan chief prosecutor’s situation also not very satisfactory.

-Let’s gather. All put heads together and devise countermeasures.

“Anyway a situation shocked at the sound of rebellion conspiracy! If caught gathering secretly in this situation? Know what false charge how will be framed?”

-At least can discard the materials each has under agreement.

“Keuuung!”

Click.

When the Busan mayor twisting the whole body suffering like squid grilled on charcoal.

Knock knock knock.

“What?”

“A person called Agent Han Myeong-ho from central intelligence came.”

Han Myeong-ho?

That guy who threatened mentioning bribe ledger?

Trying another threat at this time!

“Tell to get lost!”

“Said convey will open a way to live. Yes, then will chase immediately······.”

“Tell to come in!”

Even if chasing when chasing at least hear what the way to live!

Swish.

A transparent black form like smoke rose from behind the Busan mayor’s back.
