Chapter 69

Follow me!

In the midst of embarrassment, Vice President Kim and my cell phone spit out cries at the same time.

The caller on my phone, which I checked at a glance, was Deputy Manager Lim, no, Executive Director Lim.

“Yes, Manager.”

As soon as I pressed the call button and looked at Vice President Kim Young-gi, he was muffled and his mouth was pouting at me.

‘Chief of the National Intelligence Service?’

Thinking that the situation was not serious, I fixed the phone again.

Lim’s voice shouting from the other side was almost suffocating.

An hour ago, North Korea and our navy collided on Baengnyeong Island. As a result, one of the Chamsuri high-speed boats sank.

“Right now, I am also reading the breaking news, but how did you respond to the sinking?”

– I don’t know about that either. Isn’t Vice President Kim Young-gi there? The head of the National Intelligence Service wanted to talk to him.

“You are on the phone right now. Okay, let me call you back.”

I hung up the phone and listened to the minister’s conversation.

He didn’t say a word as to what was so serious, he was just listening to what was being said from the other side.

“Whoa….”

When the call was finally over, he let out a long sigh.

Perhaps he had heard some bad news, and his expression was also very distorted.



“What happened?”

“North Korea has invaded the NLL near Baengnyeong Island. Our side’s Chamsuri high-speed boat, which was nearby, started responding, but it seems that it was hit by a tank gun installed on the enemy’s high-speed boat.

North Korea’s use of tank guns on high-speed boats was the same as in history.

If there is anything else, the fact that it was in the 2nd engagement, not the 1st.

It is the result of North Korea grinding its teeth, which suffered massive damage in the first naval battle, and I do not understand why it was mobilized from the first battle.

‘No, if you think about it, it is natural.’

I’ve already been embarrassed twice, so I’d like to somehow make up for it.

In the end, the flow of thought must have flowed in that direction.

An attack method that takes into account the defense power and armament of the poor eagle.

“What about our army?”

“That is the problem.”

“·················ogue.”

“The follow-up support has been delayed, and the damage seems to have been great.”

I just pictured the situation in my mind.

Defense Minister Kim Young-ki, who resigned after two hard-line countermeasures.

As the new defense minister, he must have struggled with the follow-up support because he didn’t want to face the same thing.

No, he probably sent follow-up support.

However, for the safety of the PCC, he must first hit the enemy’s Styx missile and coastal artillery, but I think he might have hesitated.

“Hmm······.”

But in the end, that hesitation turned into a bigger problem.

As a North Korea, it has already taken pride in itself, and only our military has been victimized.

If you keep in mind that there is no possibility of an all-out war anyway, it might have been better to be active like Minister Kim Young-gi.

“How many people were killed?”

“In the case of the flagship 358, all the soldiers were killed, and the other two high-speed boats also suffered heavy damage.”

“·················ogue.”

That wasn’t normal enough.

This is not a battle, but just a massacre.

By now, not only the Ministry of National Defense, but also the Blue House would have been turned upside down.

“But why did the Director of the National Intelligence Service call the Vice President?”

Suddenly, I was curious about that.

What reason would you have to inform Minister Kim Young-gi, who has already resigned, of that fact?

However, it was a situation that even Vice President Kim Young-gi did not understand.

“I don’t know that either. It’s just to convey that your Excellency wants to meet sooner or later…”

“·················ogue.”

Somehow it felt strange.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with a reason.

“Once you go up. I don’t think the atmosphere will be serious for the time being, but I think we need to hold on to someone and get a more accurate picture of the situation.”

After that, we got into the car without anyone saying anything first.

There’s only one thing that won’t leave your head all the way up.

Although the time zones were warped, what historically had to happen was that it might be the law that must happen.

**********

“It’s a start again.”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan, in a suit of the Chamsuri-class 357 boat, looked at the North Korean high-speed boat crossing the NLL with a frown.

The number of North Korean patrol boats increased at the same time as the autumn crab hunting began in earnest recently.

Even if the objective was nominally to protect the North Korean fishermen, the frequent trips to the South, which had already been going on for ten days, were too much.

– Go according to the rules of engagement. We’ll start first.

Just then, a radio came from Major Kim Tan of the flagship 358.

Flagships 358 and 356 speeding up at the same time.

In order to keep pace, Captain Yoon Tae-hwan immediately carried out an interception maneuver, targeting 684 of the three enemy ships to block the forward direction.

“Huh?”

At that moment, a cold energy suddenly passed through his spine.

For some reason, I have a strong feeling that I may never see my beloved wife again.

But he soon shaved his head, and again focused on intercepting the maneuvers of enemy traps.

“Think of it…”

To be honest, it wasn’t the first time I’d imagined something like that.

When he first took on the suit, and when the ship he was responsible for first confronted the North Korean high-speed boat with the NLL in between.

However, each time it was concluded that it was a vain imagination, and I thought it would be the same this time as well.

“uh?”

But today, something was different.

684 boats that would normally speed up for collision maneuvers suddenly started to slow down.

slurp.

What he soon saw was that 684 guns, which had never been seen before, were hanging on them, and apparently they were turning in the direction he was in.

“Damn it! Left-handed, Yang-Hyeon exclusive!”

Embarrassed, he immediately ordered the helm to turn.

Coogong!

But it’s already too late.

Even for a tank gun with poor accuracy, it is virtually impossible to dodge shells fired from such a close range.

Bump!

In the end, the enemy’s 85mm shells broke through the side of the high-speed boat.

“Shoot!”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan immediately ordered a response fire despite the shock.

At the same time, the 40mm guns in the trap turned towards the enemy.

“Damn it!”

However, the 358 trap that intervened in the meantime was a problem.

If this is the case, the ally’s trap is likely to be right.

I had to turn again to get an accurate shot.

Pub!

While hesitating, the sound of something breaking through the bridge was heard.

After that, 37mm shells continuously penetrated from all directions.

Under the influence of subsequent fragments, the bridge quickly became paralyzed.

“The wheelhouse!”

The first to fall was Sgt. Han Young-hoon, the helmsman.

With him in the lead, the noncommissioned officers and sailors moaning from all directions.

Ham is now almost out of control.

“Those motherfuckers!”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan picked up the radio to rectify the situation somehow.

Pub!

In an instant, a bullet from somewhere stuck in his stomach, and he dropped the radio from the impact.

“ね! Are there any snipers?”

It was clear that it wasn’t just bad luck.

Because there was only one bullet that flew.

For some reason, he felt that things were starting to get strange, so he leaned as far as he could and looked outside, and at that moment, what caught his eye was the scene of the sinking of the flagship 358.

“this!”

The situation was also bad for the 356 tablets, which I looked at just in case.

The entire ship has already become almost a mop.

The 356 also appeared to have suffered heavy damage from the first hit by the 85mm shell.

Boo Woong!

Then, all of a sudden, the enemy ships began to retreat.

The distance they crossed south of the NLL is only 1.1 kilometers.

The men, who had crossed over to their sea area in an instant, stood there for a long time as if mockingly, and then retreated back to their base at full speed.

“Fake things….”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan was finally able to see the situation inside the ship.

The number of sailors and non-commissioned officers who did not move at all was also four.

There are also a lot of people who appear to be seriously injured, so they don’t even say anything.

– Return the squadron to the fleet headquarters.

While tears were covering my eyes, a radio flew from the base.

Why the hell is there no support and how do you go about returning on your own in this situation?

Unable to contain his anger, he hit the floor with his fist.

*******

“Ahh!”

It was that dream again.

A dream in which everything experienced during the battle is reproduced as it is, without any omission.

To prevent that, even a sleep inducer has been mobilized, but except for the first few days, it has little effect.

“Cool!”

It was as if he had no time to rest.

Even sleep, the only way to find rest, is tormenting him.

It is unclear how long this situation will continue.

Whoops.

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan threw the sleep inducer left by the nurse in the trash.

It was because I thought that I would be able to do at least one effort to exclude thoughts while I was awake, but in fact, it is uncertain whether that will be possible.

– You’re in luck though.

Suddenly, I remembered the words of the commander who came to comfort me.

How much did you want to spit in that face at the time?

No, I was so hazy back then that I don’t even know if I actually spit it out.

Seeing that no one has been visiting for a while.

“Fuck….”

smart!

For a long time, while he was speaking abusive language towards an unspecified number of people, someone knocked on the door of his hospital room.

His head naturally turned towards the door.

Afterwards, what caught his eye was a young man who looked to be in his mid-30s and an old man who appeared to be in his late 60s.

“Ugh!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Yoon Tae-hwan, who was awakened for a moment, tried to get up.

But the body collapses again in the pain that followed.

A man in his 60s sees this and stops him by kicking his tongue.

“If the patient moves his body like that, use it. Just lie down.”

“How is the Minister here…”

Kim Tae-hwan mumbled words out of embarrassment.

Maybe he didn’t like the name, and the man in his 60s who received attention responds with a slightly frown on his face.

“What is the minister? When did I leave Right now, I’m just serving as the vice president of the defense industry.”

A man in his 60’s. No, Vice President Kim Young-gi looked at his companion after that.

As if that was a signal, a young man in his 30s approaches Yoon Tae-hwan one step at a time.

“My name is Hyunseung Jin, who is in charge of Jaewoo Group.”

“·················ogue.”

There was no way that he did not know Jin Hyun-seung because he was Yoon Tae-hwan.

The only thing he wondered was why the president of a large group came to him.

Just staring at him, Vice President Kim speaks for the reason with a cough.

“It must be painful for you, but I came here to see if I could understand the situation at the time.”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan was momentarily conflicted.

What’s difficult about talking?

However, he was hesitant to recite the situation at the time that continued to torment him even in his dreams.

“that······.”

But he finally spoke up.

And after a long explanation, when he got excited about the issue of follow-up support, Hyunseung Jin spit out a hint.

“At that time, the PCC was moving north. However, access was difficult when it was detected that North Korea was aiming an anti-ship missile Styx from a ground base. Moreover, the North Korean coastal artillery was already preparing to fire, so it would have been even more difficult to respond.”

“But it was possible to preemptively strike the Styx missile base as well as the coastal artillery if we wanted to. Just like it was in Yeonpyeong.”

“·················ogue.”

Hyunseung Jin didn’t even have much to say about that part.

Except for looking at Vice President Kim Young-gi, who was standing next to him.

As if he did not like the situation, Vice President Kim Young-gi said to Yoon Tae-hwan with a frown on his face.

“I have nothing to say about that.”

“It’s not something the Minister will apologize for.”

Yoon Tae-hwan responded with a bitter smile.

As if that was more heartbreaking, Vice President Kim Young-gi tapped Yoon Tae-hwan on the shoulder.

“Anyway, thank you for your testimony. It must have been difficult for you. Of course, there is a national level of compensation, but apart from that, the Jaewoo group also intends to provide consolation money to the victims. What good is money to the victims, but that’s not the reality for families.”

“·················ogue.”

Captain Yoon Tae-hwan looked at Jin Hyun-seung with a blank expression at those words.

Maybe it was awkward, Jin Hyun-seung, whose expression hardened slightly, spit out a hint.

“I know the psychological impact of this incident is huge. From my point of view, I honestly don’t know what to say to comfort. If there’s one thing I can say, it’s unlikely that this will happen again in the future. We are already looking for ways to meet the needs of the military.”

“·················ogue.”
