As soon as I finished the phone call with Minister Vladimir, Director Lee Ah-young approached me with a bewildered expression.
“When did you investigate this far?”
“What do you mean?”
“What is it? “Minister Monaghan and the CEO of Box Industries colluded to speculate on real estate!”
“Ah…”
After being silent for a moment, I quietly opened my mouth.
“That’s a lie.”
“…to?”
“Where would there have been time to investigate it in this situation? “I originally knew about the relationship between the three because the Secretary General just told me about it.”
“….’
She quietly closed her eyes as if she hadn’t thought about it at all.
Well, that’s literally it.
As long as Minister Monaghan holds operational command authority, we cannot blindly intervene. So, the authority he had had to be taken away or stripped away.
However, it would be almost impossible to dismiss a country’s defense minister, even in a war situation.
Unless it is something so big that the foundation of the country will collapse.
‘In the end, I have no choice but to expose the fact that there was an arms deal with Russia…’ If you
hastily reveal something that involves the Russian Minister of Defense, you may face a backlash.
The fact that the relationship between the two has been maintained without any problems for 10 years means that they have created enough holes to escape even if their tail is stepped on.
Of course…
‘If there is a crack in the relationship between the two, things will be different.’
If Vladimir no longer needs Minister Monaghan, there will be no reason to protect him.
The urgent priority was to somehow sever the relationship between the two.
Isn’t there a substantive contract for the Hanbyeol Construction bridge project?
Of course, if you compare land sales details later, you might get caught, but it will be enough to get past this.
“One of the two would have been looking at the stop loss angle anyway. “No matter how close a relationship is, if it lasts for 10 years, you will start to question the benefits you can get from the other person.”
Even if I didn’t have to break up with them, we were destined to grow apart at some point.
I just made up a small excuse to bring that day forward a little bit.
“And well… it’s true that you engaged in illegal black trading.”
“Even so…”
Nevertheless, Director Lee Ah-young continued speaking with a somewhat uneasy expression.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay? What if I lie to the Minister of Defense? Above all, he was the person connected to me by the Secretary-General, but if his lies were discovered, he might get into trouble with the Secretary-General…” “
If the Secretary-General had been worried about that in the first place, he wouldn’t have given me his contact information.”
I shrugged my shoulders and answered.
“The Secretary General must have known how I would come out. Nevertheless, as the situation is the situation, it probably meant that we should not choose any means or methods.”
“…I’m still anxious though.”
“What do you know? “It’s not like we’ll meet each other twice anyway.”
I answered calmly.
“Anyway, let’s wait a little bit.”
1 hours.
No, in just 30 minutes you will see Minister Monaghan fall apart in real time.
That was when the corners of my mouth went up without me even realizing it.
The phone rang again from Secretary General Park In-beom.
“yes.”
“Did you resolve it well?”
“Yes, well… I made up a rough excuse and laid all the charges on Minister Monaghan. There will probably be a response soon.”
「…? “You’re making up a cause?”
“When I told you that I had joined hands with your son-in-law to take your money, he immediately came forward.”
“So… you’re saying you threw a tantrum?”
“Yes.”
After a while I answered confidently.
“You crazy guy! “Then what should I do?!”
“….”
“I told you to persuade me, but you told me to criticize you?! “Don’t you think about me who introduced you?!” “
….”
It wasn’t possible?
***
Berlin Reichstag.
“Prime Minister!”
Prime Minister Ben’s aide entered the office, urgently calling for him.
Because it was a wartime situation, Prime Minister Ben’s expression hardened in an instant because he was on edge.
Judging from the aide’s reaction, it didn’t seem like it was good news.
“What’s going on? Could it be that something happened to the front line…”
“Oh no. That’s not it… I received a call from the Russian Ministry of Defense.”
“…russia?”
Prime Minister Ben’s eyes narrowed.
Russia.
Why Russia all of a sudden?
Or rather, the Ministry of Defense contacted you directly?
“Are they really going to send reinforcements or something like that? That’s a bit difficult. If other countries start participating in the war, there is a possibility that it could turn into a war…” “
No. “It’s not like that…”
After hesitating for a moment, the aide spoke softly.
“The Russian Ministry of Defense has formally requested an investigation into Minister Monaghan.”
“…what?”
At the same time, Prime Minister Ben’s eyebrows twitched greatly.
“What do you mean? “Why Minister Monaghan?”
“It is said that details of arms trafficking transactions with the Russian mafia have been revealed.”
“…!”
Prime Minister Ben’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
“Is it true that weapons trafficking is…?”
“I checked the documents sent here by the Ministry of National Defense and it seems to be clear. “We estimate that the profit made over 10 years by handing over retired equipment and other missing weapons is close to €100 million.”
“….”
Prime Minister Ben seemed at a loss for words at the shocking news.
“And this is my opinion… I think the fact that we did not receive support from other countries this time has something to do with this collusion.”
The aide carefully added his opinion.
Soon Prime Minister Ben’s fist tightened.
A person who is the Minister of Defense of one country has been engaging in blackmail with a criminal organization in another country?
And with its own weapons?
‘What a crazy guy…’
Is that why he so strongly rejected the support of the association’s support team and WDSO?
Are you trying to use this war as a demonstration to promote your weapons?
‘If that’s true, I can never leave it alone…’
To put the lives of the people as collateral for one’s own benefit.
This is not a matter that can be resolved right away.
According to principle, Minister Monaghan should be summoned right away and an investigation should begin…
Unfortunately, this is a war situation.
It is still dangerous to call him out as he is directly commanding troops on the front line.
Of course, he cannot be dismissed right away.
This is because there is no greater blow than losing a conductor in a wartime situation.
I feel angry, but I can’t help it now.
“First, after the war is over…”
The moment Prime Minister Ben uttered those words.
“If the war ends like this, Germany will disappear from the map.”
Someone said as they entered the office.
It was none other than Minister of Transportation and Construction Lucas.
“Why are you here…?”
“Have you heard the report that the German Association was merged into WDSO?”
“…I heard.”
“A local operation team was deployed to the scene under the direction of Kim Jun-woo, the person in charge. It was an operation to hold out until the WDSO headquarters troops arrived. But Minister Monaghan withdrew them all.”
Minister Lucas continued speaking while looking directly at Prime Minister Ben.
“And as a result, all defenses have now been breached.”
“…!”
“At this rate, it will only take an hour… no, 30 minutes for the Lions Clubs International forces to reach Berlin.”
Prime Minister Ben’s lips trembled at those words.
“The opponents are people with special abilities. “They are not people who can be stopped with regular troops and weapons in the first place.”
“….”
“If Secretary Monaghan withdrew the operation team even after knowing this, he should be immediately stripped of his command as an act of disturbing the nation, and if he said he did not know, he would be unqualified to be the Minister of Defense.”
Minister Lucas continued speaking in a sharp tone.
“Please choose carefully which option is best for Germany.”
“But if we fire Monaghan now, who will take command…”
“Whoever comes will be able to do better than him.”
Minister Lucas responded immediately.
“What would be even worse if you were the CEO of Karma Corporation, the predecessor of WDSO?”
“…Are you the representative of Karma Corporation?”
“Kim Jun-woo. He is currently on site.”
At that name, Prime Minister Ben’s eyes widened once more.
It was as if he also knew at least who Kim Jun-woo was.
“So what are you going to do?”
“….”
Minister Lucas urged me to think deeply for a moment.
“Wartime operational control… is being transferred to WDSO.”
The relevant instructions were given right away.
***
Immediately after the third defense line on Route 52 was breached.
After repeated retreats, they finally reached the vicinity of Berlin and were hastily establishing a final defense line.
Tururu Tururu-.
Secretary Monaghan has already tried to contact Vladimir dozens of times.
Pop-.
“This is so fucking true!!”
Minister Vladimir still did not receive his call.
“What on earth! What kind of dog is talking about that dog! ”
Minister Monaghan ran wild and shouted.
I can’t believe he joined hands with the CEO of Box Industries and siphoned off the research funds invested by Minister Vladimir.
What nonsense is this?
I tried so hard to maintain this relationship, but would I ever do something like that without going crazy?
Who on earth said that?
Is there someone in the National Assembly who would frame him for something that didn’t happen?
‘Could it be that bastard Lucas…?’
no.
That guy is not gutsy enough to lie outright to Minister Vladimir.
Fuck, then who?
‘No, that aside…’
Minister Monaghan chewed his teeth.
This is really dangerous.
The initial defense line has been breached and the Lions Clubs International forces are continuing to advance at this moment.
Of course, we added a few defense lines while retreating… but it is unclear how long even that will take.
Then, if this last line of defense is breached…
‘…this can’t be done.’
This is no longer possible.
Now that the situation has reached this point, no one can stop it.
It would have been better if the deployment of a local operation team had been permitted from the beginning…
‘Fuck…’
Minister Monaghan internally vented his anger with belated regret.
Above all, if Berlin falls like this, those who opposed the association’s intervention will be held fully responsible.
If that happens, everything you have built will collapse in an instant.
That’s not enough.
Yes, that much….
“Minister! The helicopter is ready! First, avoid to the rear! “We’ll take care of this!”
“….”
Minister Monahan thought about those words for a moment.
Let’s go to the rear for now.
And then flee from there to America.
If you give us information from the Russian Ministry of Defense, we will definitely accept it.
After thinking that far, he quickly nodded and went straight to the helicopter.
And then.
“Minister! “This is a call from the Prime Minister!”
A soldier approached with a communicator.
‘…!’
At the same time, he felt his heart sinking.
The Prime Minister contacted you directly about this situation?
Secretary Monaghan felt something unusual and cautiously accepted the communication device.
“…Yes, I’m Monaghan.”
The moment you slowly open your mouth.
“Michael Monaghan. “I hereby inform you that you have been dismissed from your position as minister as of this time.”
“…yes?”
I heard words like a lightning bolt.
“What does that mean?! Not dismissal! Why on earth would I…!”
“Don’t you know better?”
Prime Minister Ben answered calmly.
Could it be that the news reached the Prime Minister?
“Prime Minister Chu! I don’t know what you heard, but it’s all lies! “Someone deliberately tried to slander me…!”
“The transaction details are clear, but you’re saying it’s a lie?”
“…!”
How could that…?
Could it be that Minister Vladimir exposed it?
But if he did that, he wouldn’t be safe either…
“I can explain everything! Above all, isn’t this a wartime situation? If I’m not there, who will lead the troops…”
“So the defense line has been breached without even being able to properly resist?”
“….”
I was speechless.
“That’s because the soldiers were scared and didn’t follow orders…”
“Is it the soldiers’ fault again this time? Then, if I were to ask you to hold out with a gun against monsters that use powers beyond your common sense, would you be able to do it?”
Minister Monaghan’s hands were shaking.
“Return to Berlin calmly.”
“Prime Minister Chu…!”
“If you violate it, I will consider summary execution.”
The moment his vision turned white, communication was cut off one-sidedly.
Soon he looked around at the soldiers around him with a bewildered expression.
The gaze looking at him was very cold.
“Fuck…”
Minister Monaghan smiled helplessly, as if he had finally realized his position.
And then.
“How…”
A man’s voice was heard.
“Have you heard from the Prime Minister?”
As if on cue, Kim Jun-woo appeared in front of him again.
