Chapter 220

“There is a problem, what do you mean? No, aside from that, you mean that the US military was planning a rescue operation for the Self-Defense Forces?

It was a question I asked because I thought it was a bit absurd for me.

In the end, when they insist on dispatching troops and send them to the main unit, the US military takes charge of the rescue operation?

No, what about the Japanese special operations forces, who were raised with such aspirations for the “military” and presumptuously boasted that they were comparable to the Delta Force?

-I also reacted the same way as Chairman Jin to the news that the US military was starting a rescue operation for the first time, but I have to understand what to do, in reality, the ability does not support it.

“·················ogue.”


– As Chairman Jin knows, the soldiers currently being held captive are not the best operational forces of the Self-Defense Forces. They must have decided that there was no manpower to rescue them because they had been taken prisoner.

The minister replied with a long sigh.

As if being chased by time, he brings out the main point again.



-Anyway, in the end, the Japanese government requested the US military to mobilize the US Delta Force, and the US military is not in a position to listen to it right now. After all, the problem has popped up elsewhere.

“Somewhere else?”

The minister sighed.

It felt like something I didn’t know happened again.

Unsurprisingly, he soon spit out embarrassing words.

-Actually, late last night, Iraq’s major oil fields were also attacked. Therefore, not only the remaining U.S. troops, but also our troops, are in a situation where it is impossible to step out.

“Who are the attackers?”

-According to the announcement, they also identify themselves as the descendants of the One God and the Temple.

As I listened to the story, the atmosphere was somehow unfamiliar.

Given this situation, I feel that the call to IS started in earnest much faster than in history.

Well, because of us, Iraq’s stabilization has also accelerated, so it would not be strange if its history was ahead of its time.

“So, are you sure you want us to support the rescue operation?”

That, of course, was a reasonable idea.

If it is difficult for the U.S. military to be deployed at this point, we are the only place we can look to in the future.

As expected, the Minister sighs again and says:

– Actually, that’s the problem. Most of our troops have already withdrawn, and the remaining troops are all hanging on to defend the oil field. However, re-deploying the troops is not only for the re-approval of the parliament but also for the public sentiment…

Although the end was confusing, I fully understood the meaning.

After all, it’s not the US military, and there is no public who would approve of being forced into a situation where our troops are sacrificed to rescue the Self-Defense Forces.

The minister’s head is probably hell by now.

“Hmm······.”

I thought about it for a while at that point.

One thought flashed through my mind for a moment.

The lips are twisted all of a sudden.

“What can Japan offer in terms of our rescue?

-Yeah?

The minister suddenly responded as if something was out of the way.

He loosened the tight tie for a moment and then spoke again.

“To say the least, Japan and South Korea are not allies, and there is no reason to step forward. Of course, there will be a price to pay.”

-······· Did you not understand what I was saying until now? No, aside from that, sending our troops for a fee could be the subject of further criticism.

“Who said to send our troops?”

-·········.

There was a moment of silence over the receiver.

How much time has passed, as if belatedly realized the intention ah! a sound is heard

-PMC (Private Military Company)! No wonder Chairman Jin intends to use the private military company established in the United States.

“Yes. Isn’t that just the right way for now? There is no need to pay attention to the public opinion because our regular military is not being deployed.

-It is, but in that case, it is better for the US government to request its own PMC…

“Of course, that could be a way. But the US military must also be aware that the PMC of their country does not give an answer by calculation.”

“·················ogue.”

“First of all, we and them are different from the scale of available equipment. To be honest, there is no other organization that can mobilize even heavy armored exoskeletons like us.”

“that’s······.”

“Besides, Mosul isn’t the place to be hit by a small rescue team. However, the problem becomes more serious if a place where many civilians live is pushed into the regular army. So, the method requires a group with the ability to focus only on the rescue, such as tweezers, while minimizing damage, and only our PMC meets that condition.”

-·········.

There was silence again at those words.

Silence with a different meaning than before.

The minister’s voice, as soon as he spoke out, overflowed with hope.

– Well, I’ll call you back in a little bit.

The phone hung up without saying anything.

It looked like it was quite urgent.

I stared at the screen with the screen out for a while and focused on one thought.

“What you get from Japan is also what you get, but if this is successful, our PMC will get a promotional effect that money cannot buy.”

“Chief Han Chae-hoon. I got a call from headquarters.”

US state of California.

Chae-Hoon Han, who was still busy supervising the training of his crew members today, heard the news that the head office was looking for him and immediately ran to his office.

“Hello, Chairman.”

The caller was Jin Hyun-seung, chairman of Hapil Group.

Perhaps the other side gave him an order, and afterward, with a short reply, “Yes,” he gestures to the crew who followed him. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

widely!

The crew, who understands the meaning, quickly closes the door and taps the keyboard of the computer connected to the telecommunication equipment.

Implementing procedures for security.

After the crew sends an OK sign, Major Han speaks again.

“Yes, you can speak comfortably now.”

Daewon paid attention to Major Han’s lips with a tense expression.

Other than that, it is the first time since the company was founded that I received a direct call from the group president.

As if proving the expectation, strange words soon came out of one major’s mouth.

“Yes, of course, no problem. After all, isn’t it a group of friends who are said to be doing pretty well in Korea as well as in the US? But, how can the armed forces be put into service immediately, even tomorrow?”

Click!

After that, the phone was disconnected and a major turned away. No, the headmaster’s expression hardened.

The crew, who had a tense expression at the same time, urged him with an expression as if he had to speak quickly, and a major tapped his shoulder.

“Congratulations. The mission you have been waiting for has been assigned.”

“I’ve heard of that, but what kind of mission is it?”

The crew still looked like they were drenched in excitement.

Like a tree thirsty in the rain.

As a major who understood his feelings more than anyone else, he couldn’t hide his laughter.

“The rescue operation of the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces Special Operations Forces, who were recently captured in Iraq.”

“Yeah?”

In an instant, the crew’s eyes widened.

Apparently it’s because of the fact that the ones to be rescued are the Self-Defense Forces.

Afterwards, a major’s sharp advice flies toward him who is about to retaliate.

“Hey, Lee Jong-gi. We are no longer soldiers, we are a group of mercenaries.”

“·················ogue.”

“Whatever the order is, remember that you have to do what you get, regardless of your personal feelings.”

“Yep!”

Lee Jong-ki immediately took his immobile posture and responded.

Still, it’s an expression that’s not easily resolved.

Maybe he understood his heart, but as he left the room, manager Han Chae-hoon turned around and added something.

“Honestly, it’s not a job I’m very fond of. That being said, I would rather think about it in a different direction.”

“what······.”

“I am already happy to think of seeing the faces of the Self-Defense Forces children who are terrified and waiting for a helping hand.”

“·················ogue.”

******

Wow!

northern Saudi Arabia.

General Chae-Hoon Han and his crew, who arrived to carry out the mission, got back on the transport provided by the US military with only a brief reorganization time.

The faces of the crew are all wrinkled, as if the pressure to get on the plane again after a long flight was great.

However, thanks to understanding the nature of the operation, no one spit out complaints, and most of the conversations that went on were only those related to the operation.

“It will be quite dark when we arrive.”

“It’s better that way. It’s because we’re obsessed with operating in the dark anyway.”

[Hey, can we have a conversation in English?]

Tom, the only American on the crew, raised his hands to protest their incomprehensible conversation.

The crew, who glanced at it, wanted to stare at each other for a moment, and then shout out loudly.

[You’re just learning Korean, kid. The vast majority of people here are Koreans, so it’s a bit different for us, isn’t it?][Damn….]

Tom waved his hand as if he had nothing to say.

He quickly glanced at the crew members who raised the problem again, and spoke again with a disappointed look on his face.

[What is it, are you guys so good at speaking English?][Oh! Did you get caught?][Hahaha.]

Tom smiled and looked at the crew pats on the back with displeasure.

Then Lee Jong-gi, who was the most senior among the crew, smiled and approached him and said:

[Relax your face. I was just joking around to get a little closer to you, who just joined.]

Tom then let out a laugh.

What he was thinking, he turns to Lee Jong-gi and suddenly sobbs and says:

[do not do that. Because I am a more emotional being than I am, I am easily hurt.][···········.]

The crew looked at him with an absurd look at his attitude that did not match his size.

However, Tom was still crying without giving up his girlish attitude, and a major who had been watching it the whole time jumped up from his seat and spat out words.

“Not everyone sees them like that. Just because you’re emotionally rich doesn’t mean you can’t become our colleagues.”

“·················ogue.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)



“I can only say one word at this point. Although Paul is a sensitive friend, he can be the coldest of us at the worst of times. To be honest, that is the reason why I have to take him to this operation.”

“What does it mean to be cool in the worst case?”

One of the crew members, Lee Jong-gi, quickly asked the question.

Director Han Chae-hoon, who showed a meaningful expression for a moment, twists his lips and says:

“What is our worst moment?”

“That’s what it means to be captured by the enemy.”

“What do you think is the best option at that moment? Torture aside, in that dirty situation where you have to watch your comrades die right in front of your eyes.”

“Of course, of course… No, then, let’s put a bullet on us…”

Lee Jong-gi swallowed the words he was spitting and looked at Tom again.

Perhaps he understood the conversation, Tom closed one of his eyes toward Jong-ki with a fishy smile, and then he spoke calmly.

[Do not worry about it. I will never abandon my comrade until the worst moment comes.][···········.]

******

[The safety of the hostages is also safety, but to me, your safety is our top priority. Of course, if I heard this from the head office, there would be an uproar, but that’s my honest opinion. Hani, live unconditionally.]

A major’s speech continued from the transport plane that reached its destination.

At those words, the crew hardened their faces as if they were making a promise, and the rear door of the transport plane was wide open.

[Check the target point! descent!]

The first person to jump was Lee Jong-gi.

Although his heavy armor was heavy, the specially-made parachute was fortunate enough to show its performance, and after that, about 20 crew members jump down one after the other.

[Supply drop completed!]

Finally, a major pushed out a box of ammunition and additional equipment that he didn’t like, and he radioed the transport pilot.

Soon, there is a voice from the other side wishing for a safe return, followed by urgent backstory.



– Oh, a manager. Now, we are receiving news from our headquarters through radio, and in the meantime, a group called the One God and the descendants of the Temple carried out a large-scale beheading. As a result, there are now only 15 surviving Self-Defense Forces.

“Fifteen?”

One major hesitated at those words.

If that’s the case, there’s a good chance they’ll all be dead by the time they arrive.

Wouldn’t the operation itself be meaningless?

“Receipt.”

However, in the end, Major Han started to recheck for the fall again.

After all, the head office has already decided to get a good price, and the order to cancel the operation has not yet been issued.

It is enough for them to be faithful to their mission, it does not matter how many survivors there are.

“fall.”
