Seoul defense line, second base group.
Inside the dim base, it was freezing cold.
The base complex built forty-five meters underground and transformed from civil air defense fortifications carries a large population.
Since the garrison at Qingwatai Base evacuated here, the base group, which was originally somewhat empty, has become somewhat crowded.
In the underground building complex made of concrete, footsteps sounded one after another.
A middle-aged man wearing a National Defense Forces uniform with slanted shoulder straps looked anxious.
"Get out of the way! I have urgent news to report!"
He rushed straight past the guards.
The man looked fierce and pushed open the door of the conference room where the meeting was taking place.
The soldier behind him was knocked to the ground by his brute force.
"Urgent report!"
"Double Star Base sent a message again, claiming that the intruder in their base is suspected to be Lin An!"
"Asking for our support!"
A hurried announcement and a knock on the door sounded at the same time.
In the conference room.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked over. The staff officer, who was still analyzing the report, stared blankly at the soldiers who rushed in.
The meeting is interrupted.
Everyone who was still arguing about the plan closed their mouths in shock.
"What did you say?"
"Who asked you to break in!?"
At the main seat, a well-dressed middle-aged woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses asked with a gloomy face.
"Didn't I say? During the meeting, any situation will be reported to me through the Secretary-General."
Frowning subconsciously.
When he looked at the trespassing officer, his eyes flashed with deep dissatisfaction.
As the newly appointed president of South Korea, she is very disgusted with the post-apocalyptic military's attitude.
The prestige of political power comes from the system at all levels.
He's so hot-tempered and not decent at all. How can he still have the attitude of being a high-ranking person?
Reporting at all levels, isn’t it the same?
The officer who reported the information noticed Pu Jinhui's expression. He forced to calm down the excitement in his heart and could only clenched his fists.
This old woman!
Didn't you hear what I said? ?
Lin An! Lin An appeared in the Busan war zone!
This is not a trivial matter that you usually discuss in meetings!
There was a fire in my chest.
The middle-aged woman in front of me succeeded the former president, Lee Eun-ji.
After taking office, she ignored the military's protests and instituted a bunch of bullshit systems in the name of restoring the normal operation of the regime.
Establish sound government institutions.
It’s just that I don’t care what time it is now.
After hearing such news, you still have the mood to blame him for being rude?
Word by word, he stared at everyone present and repeated:
"Double Star Base asked us for help 1 hour and 15 minutes ago, requesting to dispatch the nearest awakened ones from Busan to stop the intruders."
"We refused. 25 minutes later, the other party claimed that the intruder was Lin An and provided relevant evidence."
"Based on cross-checking the information, our ministry can confirm..."
"Lin An, really appeared in the Busan war zone!"
After telling the whole situation in one breath, the officer in charge of the report felt extremely anxious.
Before, their military headquarters thought that the Double Star Base was playing some tricks.
But now, he just feels that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Lin An...?"
Different from the shocked expressions of others in the conference room, Park Jinhui in the main seat just frowned in confusion.
This name... sounds so familiar.
Standing behind her, the secretary responsible for providing materials coughed lightly, sensing that the newly appointed supreme ruler seemed to have a bad memory.
He carefully leaned down and whispered a few quick reminders in Pu Jinhui's ear to prevent her from making a fool of herself in public.
Half a minute later.
Pu Jinhui suddenly realized what he was saying, causing everyone to curse secretly in their hearts.
Just remembering it now?
You can take office only because former President Lee Eun-ji voluntarily committed suicide.
And isn't the culprit Lin An?
Park Jinhui actually forgot the name Lin An for a while, which really made them speechless.
Not paying attention to the different expressions of everyone, Park Jinhui looked indifferent and frowned and asked:
"real or fake?"
"so what?"
"Does this have anything to do with us?"
The defense officer's expression froze when he was asked the question, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Are you still asking me if it’s true or not? Didn’t I make it very clear?
The military department has checked it repeatedly!
As for the last sentence, he was even more angry and a little weak.
what to do? What should Lin An do in the Busan war zone?
If the other party hadn't been the president, he would have really wanted to hit him with the butt of a gun.
Suppressing his anger, he could only reply quickly in a deep voice:
"We should immediately dispatch troops and even deploy all available combat forces to kill Lin An with all our strength!"
"Although I don't know why he appeared in Busan, I can't let go of this opportunity no matter what!"
"Once he escapes from the binary base, it will be difficult for us to track him!"
I thought I said it clearly enough.
Who would have thought that Pu Jinhui, who was sitting in the main seat, still maintained a frowning expression, as if it was a trivial matter:
"Didn't your military say that the front line was tight and there simply weren't enough troops?"
"Double Star Base...what do you care what they do?"
"Lin An is here, I heard that this person seems to have some strength."
"It's such a long journey, why do we have to run there? What should we do if we encounter mutants on the way?"
"Or are you saying that your military was lying to me before?"
"Just because I want to conquer Seoul Cathedral, you lied about not having enough troops?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary-general behind him was shocked and hurriedly whispered:
"Your Excellency, Lin An has a lot of materials that were defrauded from us!"
"What the military means is that we must get it back!"
Standing frozen at the door, the national defense officer's face was gloomy and almost dripping with tears.
Seeing Park Jinhui's indifferent expression, he began to wonder if he and others had supported the wrong candidate.
Even a three-year-old can understand the meaning behind Seizing Lin An.
The woman in front of him had no strategic awareness at all.
Had it not been for the auction incident, the original government's prestige had been greatly damaged.
They had no choice but to find ways to select new people in power from the "people" to calm the public's anger.
Otherwise, if the military is killed, the military will not find Park Jinhui, who has a high reputation among civil religious forces.
Not as convinced as I imagined.
After listening to this, Park Jinhui remained uninterested:
"I know that he defrauded us of a large amount of supplies."
"But, how do you prove that the things are on him? Aren't so many supplies traded to the Chinese War Zone?"
"Even if we catch him, what's the use?"
After saying that, she ignored everyone's weird expressions and wanted to continue the meeting.
Not as stupid as she appeared, she thought clearly.
She is not an awakener.
The military department is interested in Lin An, probably because they want to get back the props and equipment that were defrauded.
But, does this have anything to do with her?
Her supporters are ordinary people.
If there were too many casualties during the arrest, wouldn't that weaken her prestige?
She clearly remembered how the previous president voluntarily apologized.
As the official attitude of the ruler was revealed, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange for a moment.
Sighing secretly,
The astute secretary-general noticed the intrigue between the two parties. He first glanced at the military representative in a flattering manner, then lowered his head in a low voice and said:
"Your Excellency the President."
"Capture Lin An and kill him. Not only will it make up for the loss, but it will also enhance your prestige."
"Just think, the mistakes committed by the former sinner Li Eunji have been made up for in your hands..."
Um?
When Park Jinhui heard this, he unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at the Secretary-General, his eyes suddenly lit up.
