{ triple shock 3 }
The Secretary of State opened his mouth.
“How much time left?”
“We’re almost there. We’ll arrive in three minutes.”
At the words of the chief secretary, the secretary of state looked out the window.
I see his villa in front of me.
‘It’s an outdoor party in a time like this… Is there no sense of crisis? .’
But what?
He is the only person who can gather a powerful force in a short period of time.
It is clear what the Vice President will do in the future.
Gaining public opinion is the first thing he has to do.
Besides, he is the vice president who is very close with the military companies.
Even without looking at it, the enormous support from the military forces was already coming in.
‘What the Vice President will do… .’
And someone who will hate it in the future.
‘I have to convince him today.’
The chief secretary, who watched the silence of the secretary of state, sighed inwardly.
It must have been difficult for him to turn away.
“We’ve pre-arranged our escorts. We have a double perimeter with the manpower of the villa.”
“Good job.”
“Im here.”
At the words of the article, the Secretary of State spoke with a firm voice.
“Branch.”
* * *
[The Secretary of State has arrived.]
“see.”
The agent who answered, looked at the spectacle as he got out of the car with cool eyes.
the hour of turning into night.
In the luxurious mansion, the twinkling lights blend together to create a wonderful atmosphere.
Minister getting out of the car.
In his tuxedo, he passed the agents and entered.
And the escorts who follow him at a certain distance.
The minister’s steps seem cheerful.
‘What is this doing… .’
A colleague walking next to him, as if reading his mind, spit out swear words.
“Fuck. What is this doing now. The president is dead, and the minister is crazy?”
sound from the command post.
[Yes. Shut up! Be careful with your words and focus on your boundaries.]
“It looks like I’m focusing on the vigilance right now! There’s not one or two dangerous places, so where the hell do I have to focus!”
Even at the command post, there is not much to say about whether Seongnam of his colleague is understood.
Not that it isn’t, but there are too many risk points.
It’s a nice villa along the river, but it’s the worst for an escort.
Another outdoor party situation.
A large garden surrounded by buildings.
The event space spread out above caught my eye.
It’s cold, so fires are lit everywhere, so there’s no place that can’t be seen even at night.
Seeing that scene, a colleague shudders to see if the fire is going to explode again.
“Sniping from the other side of the river would be very eye-catching, right?”
[The other side is also being searched. All points that can be sniped. So, Nate, stop complaining and focus on your job. Don’t worry about the remote and wide areas, just be wary of insiders. yes?]
“Fuck…”
Watching him spit out a soft swear word, his colleague sighed inwardly.
What do you do with dissatisfied people?
You have no choice but to do what you are told.
Even if that’s an absurd situation.
* * *
“A car is approaching.”
The agent assigned to the front door opened his mouth.
[I am checking. It is a vehicle number that has not been registered in advance.]
A luxury sedan stopped in front of the building.
The car door opened and a man in a stylish tuxedo got out.
He walks while touching his jacket.
He is a tall, middle-aged white man with short blonde hair neatly combed sideways.
Anyone who sees it looks like a person invited to a party.
The agent was preparing with his hand on the gun handle.
He asked, holding his palm forward and stopping him.
“How did you get here?”
“You came to the dinner party.”
“Show me the invitation.”
“Ha. Really. I think it’s a little late now. I dare you…”
A man who is slightly dissatisfied.
That was then.
shoo woong
‘yes?’
When the agent feels something,
poong
The villa building exploded with a roar.
The aftermath of the explosion, a mixture of smoke and dust, spreads around in an instant.
The agents, who were blown away by the power of the explosion and crashed to the ground, hurriedly hide behind cover.
whiz
dumb ears.
It sounded like someone’s loud voice was coming from above.
[Coming again!]
poong
* * *
“No, if it’s just the two of us whispering like that… We should have just met in another place.”
The host who welcomed the Secretary of State.
After the party started, they spoke a few more words and then suddenly moved to a quiet place, just the two of them.
I could see the Minister’s chief secretary, who was in the city far away, looking around here.
his sharp eyes.
“Yeah. I think I heard. Be careful!”
A friend’s low pinzan turned towards him.
“Fuck…”
He looked at the minister with a squint and confirmed the situation.
“Command post. What’s the situation?”
[There are no abnormalities so far.]
“Across the street?”
[All possible sniper points have been checked and are still being monitored. Sniping is impossible.]
“……”
[Yes. did you know There is no sniper from across the river.]
Nate’s gaze turned to the side.
The river is pitch black.
“Sea or underwater penetration?”
[Guard boats floated up and down the river. Stop worrying about the river now? Are there any suspicious signs among the internal personnel?]
Nate, who responds harshly.
“This isn’t an open party where dogs or cows come in, it’s people who came in after checking that they’ve been invited…”
poong
Then suddenly a large shock wave and explosion erupted from the villa building.
“Huh!”
“Aww!”
People at the outdoor party are startled, screaming and lowering their poses.
[Coming again!]
The explosion occurred again before the situation was understood.
poong
“Damn! Cover the minister.”
Agents rushed to the lowered secretary of state.
Nate exclaimed quickly.
“River! Go to the river!”
Nate spoke in a quick voice to his colleagues who turned around.
“Missile attacks are from the outside of the villa. It’s even more dangerous if you go inside the building! It escapes into the water while the building blocks the attack!”
“Garrit! Move! Move!!”
They pass by the party hall and move towards the river.
“Send the patrol boat this way! Now!”
Nate let out a harsh voice.
The distinguished guests look at them with their bodies lowered.
At that time, the host, who was still surrounded by bodyguards, ran to the Secretary of State and the party and shouted.
“Minister. Let’s go too!”
The Secretary of State, who was lowering himself among the agents, looked back at the voice.
Even in such a dangerous moment, the first thing that comes to mind is the purpose of taking the risk up to this point.
I need his help.
“Let’s go together!”
The host’s face brightens at his response.
poong
With another explosion, the villa building collapses and collapses.
“Hey!”
Then, some distinguished distinguished guests began to run towards the Secretary of State Ururu.
“Let’s go too!”
“me too!”
“Take me too!”
Nate clenched her teeth as she looked at the VIPs who rushed at her.
“Everyone stop!”
The distinguished guests raise their hands as he points their guns and hesitate.
But they soon vomit.
“What are you doing with this invitation…”
“You know who I am…!”
Nate’s voice vomits again.
“Shut up!”
The voices of the distinguished guests were silenced by his harsh yet determined demeanor.
But the disgruntled faces that are never hidden.
poong
A cottage that explodes again.
Nate instinctively checked him and radioed the command post.
“Where’s the patrol boat? How many are coming?”
at that time,
Whew Thing Thing Thing
Nate bent down with a sudden pain in her body.
‘Did you get shot?’
“Huh… huh…”
His both hands instinctively looked at the area.
Fortunately, it appears to have been hit over the bulletproof vest.
When I turned my head, I saw a guy running fast towards the river.
A man in a tuxedo like a VIP.
Nate in a crouched position.
He raised his hand to the side and pulled the trigger.
👑 👑 👑
tang tang tang tang
pouring gunshots.
But was it because it was too close to the river?
Before he could fly a few feet away, his new form went into the river.
with a plop
Nate ran towards the river and pointed the gun at the light on the water surface.
swish swish
Agents who came late join in and inspect, but no signs of coming up to the surface are found.
‘damn… .’
[What is the situation? Report the situation.]
“Keep watching your sleep!”
Nate shouted loudly to the nearby agents.
He turned his back and continued.
“The pleural effusion jumped into the river. One of the distinguished guests. A man in a tuxedo. White blonde, about the height of….”
He spoke quickly and reported the situation, then suddenly stopped speaking.
“What the…!”
[Yes! Keep reporting! What’s up?]
Nate’s gaze stopped.
There, the Secretary of State was visible.
His head exploded and fell to the floor.
* * *
A man with short silver hair.
He sat in the chair with his eyes closed.
A dark room with no windows.
You can feel the vitality all around you.
Huge greenery bloomed in intense sunlight and abundant moisture.
but just below it
‘There is that much shade.’
In today’s world so safe, humanity is completely oblivious to it.
that death is always with you.
The sound of footsteps stops.
“The Speaker of the House and the Secretary of State have been removed.”
It’s not just because they’re unprepared.
The silver-haired man raised his hand.
The hand of death reaching out.
Knowing this is something you can’t stop.
When you decide, your destiny is decided.
His cold blue eyes opened.
* * *
it’s a sunny day
All the personnel at the base are having tea time sitting in the living room on the ground floor of the facility.
Yuhan-wol glanced at his father.
I remembered that you had returned with Yang Yang-gwang late yesterday afternoon.
[Father, where are you going?]
[It’s nothing. It’s not dangerous, so there’s nothing to worry about. I’m worried about you.]
A father who had a calm face.
‘Isn’t that serious?’
Even when I asked Yang Gwang, he only said that he had gone to work behind the scenes to secure a base.
And the added compliment of Yang Gwang.
That your father is great.
‘I have to… If you stay inside, you’ll be frustrated.’
If it’s not dangerous, I thought it would be better to do something.
‘If you think it’s necessary, I’ll tell you.”
Yang Gwang, who was still looking at his phone even after coming up, uttered a word.
“They’re just leaving. Huh…”
Even if it wasn’t, the car was noisy for a while because of the breaking news a while ago.
“In that situation, I’m going to do something again… The United States seems to be going into complete chaos.”
Yang Gwang’s appreciation continued.
Cain, who was sipping coffee, put down his cup and spoke in a calm tone.
“In the end, martial law will be invoked.”
“Do you see that?”
Cain nodded at Aiden’s question.
“I will.”
Yang Gwang was interrupted in their conversation.
“Martial law?”
“Yeah. The vice president asked Congress to invoke martial law. Yesterday before the House of Representatives and Secretary of State were hit. Democrats were of course opposed to it. Even if the president was assassinated, Americans’ sentiments for martial law would not be able to cross the wall of Congress. It was.”
“But the situation has changed since they both died?”
“Like the Secretary of State, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is number two in the current state of affairs. It literally means that the highest ranking figures other than the Vice President have died one after another.”
“The Speaker of the House understands… Secretary of State? What’s that job?”
“Oh, it’s a bit unfamiliar to me because it’s a title that doesn’t exist in Korea? Hmm, I think you can simply think of it as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.”
Cain’s explanation following Aiden’s words.
“The US Secretary of State has the highest rank among ministers. You can think of it as a prime minister.”
“Eh… the defense minister isn’t the strongest?”
The United States is a military superpower.
Of course, I think the defense minister is the most likely to have the best shot, but it was an unexpected word.
“Because the United States runs the whole world. It is a position that oversees all diplomacy with countries around the world, but it would be rather strange if the position of a minister with such authority was low. And in the State Department, not only diplomacy but also domestic affairs. The United States is a federal agency Let’s go. I have the authority to do business between the federal government and the states, or between the states.”
Aiden received Cain’s explanation again.
“In retrospect, almost all tasks are those that assist the president by his side. To that extent, the work of the Secretary of State is the most closely related to the president, and the rank is inevitably high. “
“Oh… the Vice President isn’t number two?”
“Of course, the vice president is the first priority to succeed in the absence of the president. In an emergency, however, the position of vice president is plausible in normal times and has little practical authority. Because of that, I’m actually hearing that I’m the second person.”
“Then it might be good for the vice president to die now, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of State are dead?”
“Well. Who knows what’s inside a person… Anyway, did you get to the top of the ranks? Besides, the rivals went out one after another. There is a saying that power is not shared with blood.”
Picture of the Vice President who benefited the most.
“Isn’t that the connection between Bruce and the Vice President?”
“I don’t think so. Would you have done these things to make him president? So what more would Bruce get? And even if he had something to gain, how would he trust the Vice President to do such a thing? We might go to hell before we win.”
The base personnel who were listening nodded their heads.
Because the things are too big to be done simply to lift someone up.
At the end of Cain’s words, Aiden spit out the words as if he was arranging the story.
“Anyway, the president’s assassination happened when we weren’t prepared for it, so we could have tried to console ourselves by saying that we couldn’t help it. Of course, it is absolutely unacceptable. What happened. For Americans, perhaps even greater shock than the assassination of the president. Probably, in all likelihood, martial law will pass.”
“Hmm. When will it be?”
“Isn’t it obvious? This is the atmosphere. The vice president will push for martial law even more strongly. It won’t be easy for the Democratic Party to oppose any more…. I’ll give a public address tomorrow. And soon the martial law will be passed.”
Cain sips his coffee.
