Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 276
Shhh… … !!!
-comrade. Our Goshawk No. 1 just landed at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan. Today’s weather is sunny, and the outside temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. It’s a pleasant autumn weather. I hope you find a comfortable and powerful way to carry out your tasks.
“… … How do you feel?”
“What are you talking about, comrade?”
“This is Tokyo, Japan for the first time in 20 years. Like me, Lieutenant Yu must have a very new feeling.”
It was the sound of the jet turbine decelerating little by little, and as soon as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea No. 1 and the Goshawk No. 1 (although they were replaced with new ones) got off at Tokyo, Japan, the venue of the G20 summit, it was the sound of Jeong Hwan asking Yu Hye Rim.
He had known for a long time that the summit meeting location was Tokyo, but when he arrived there, he remembered his past about 20 years ago, when he was still struggling with the unstable status of being the illegitimate child of Kim Il-sung under Kim Jong-il.
Although he was half-exiled under the name of studying abroad at the time and was staying in Japan as one of the candidates for the supreme dignified heir with an uncertain future, the feeling is not new, as he has returned as the only absolute power in North Korea and the general secretary. couldn’t
However, Yoo Hye-rim, who was actually asked the question, boarded a ceremonial limousine surrounded by bodyguards on the plane, and didn’t say anything until she went out to downtown Tokyo.
“Obviously, a lot has changed since I came 20 years ago. I didn’t know it at the airport, but now I see it in the city, it’s clearly visible.”
“How has it changed so much?”
“Citizens… … No, should I say that the citizens seem very powerless? When I came here in the past, it was not to the extent of being full of energy, but to the extent that it seemed to overflow with excitement… … .”
“Don’t even do that. Since then, it has been a recession, not a recession, for the past 20 years. Contrary to the fact that the Republic and South Korea developed tremendously during the same time period. This meeting is also one of the efforts to overcome such a frustrating situation in the country… … .”
At the moment when Jeonghwan was contemplating whether or not to tell a prophecy that was not a prophecy that ‘it would be impossible in at least 10 years’, the protocol vehicle they rode entered the exhibition hall where the bodyguards and the welcome team were mixed and stopped.
As expected, as soon as he got out of the car, the media’s camera flashes poured out all at once, and the curious eyes of reporters were focused on Junghwan.
I am really grateful for visiting Japan, and I know that the general secretary studied in Japan when he was young, but what kind of influence what he saw and learned in Japan had on the remarkable development and change of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea after taking office? Kim Yong-geon, who accompanied him in another car, left the interviews with the press, and Jeong-hwan headed straight to the international exhibition hall.
First of all, there will be a welcome ceremony and a preliminary event attended by major business people and ministers from each country. there was only
And as the diplomatic authorities of both countries had secretly promised in advance, when she arrived at the small private meeting room in the exhibition hall, she had already arrived and was waiting for Jeonghwan inside.
“Nice to meet you. Vice President Condoleezza Rice.”
“It’s nice to meet you too, General Secretary Kim. Personally, I have heard many stories about you from Chairman Thatcher right after the foundation was established. It’s about how important the General Secretary-nim’s relationship with the United States is and how the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will contribute to the prosperity and stability of the region after reform and opening up.”
Condoleezza Rice, the first black female vice president in history, a woman waiting in the office, first shook hands with Jeong-hwan and said so.
It was she who followed President John McCain to today’s G20 summit, but as the president’s representative in more covert and private matters than merely the usual vice-presidential duties.

Not surprisingly, the chief ministers of the NSA and CIA, the chief security adviser of the White House and the cyber security officer, all around her were watching Jeonghwan and the few attendants standing behind her with their axe eyes open and a firm expression on their faces.And, conscious of their gaze, Vice President Rice immediately put aside the private subject and moved on to the purpose of today’s private meeting.
“… … But before personal feelings, Kim’s recent behavior was… … You know it has had a serious negative impact on the US-DPRK relationship. So, I guess it’s your turn to tell us what the hell you’re trying to call us here and show us.”
“… … And, whatever it is, it has to be something of some value. General Secretary. For a long time after hearing the nonsense that General Secretary-nim was talking about joining Five Eyes to the President, I seriously doubted our hearing and whether the general secretary-sama’s judgment ability was functioning normally.”
“First of all, isn’t President McCain here?”
Due to the situation, the NSA director and other ministers put a lot of pressure on them, but Jeonghwan didn’t care and looked around and said,
“Right now, you are having preliminary talks with the Japanese Prime Minister regarding the signing of a free trade agreement. Sa-san is also Sa-san, and the camera follows him wherever he moves, so you can think of us as representing you here.”
“All right. Anyway, what I’m really trying to show you isn’t here, but I have to move a little bit more, so it’d be better if it wasn’t conspicuous. Well then, Vice President. And the heads of the United States of America and the Five Eyes intelligence community. Let me introduce you… … .”
With this introduction, Jeonghwan took a step aside, and one of the party standing behind him came forward and bowed his head slightly to Condoleezza Rice and his ministers.
And the moment she saw the man’s face, Condoleezza Rice’s eyebrows rose slightly upwards, as she knew who it was.
The chairman of Japan’s largest mobile operator and the wealthy enough to count on your fingertips, he seems to have followed the businessmen’s meeting hosted by the G20 conference, but why the hell did he come out of here?
And as if to solve Rice’s question, the half-bald middle-aged man in question slowly opened his mouth with an expressionless face and guided them.
“Nice to meet you, everyone. I’m called Masayoshi Son in Japan, but I prefer the name Son Jeong-ui when I’m here with General Secretary. would you like to follow me? Let me introduce my company.”

“… … Where the hell are we going now? What kind of joke is this… … .”
“NSA Director Alexander. I understand you’re in a hurry, but if you’re the director, you can tell at a glance what kind of value it is, so please wait a little bit. It’s all over now.”
Just as Jung-hwan said to appease the NSA director, who complained about not knowing what the hell he was doing, they could immediately feel the vehicle they were riding in stop.
As soon as they got out of the car, they noticed that they had arrived in a building in Minato-ku, a wealthy and business center of Tokyo, about 10 km from Tokyo Bay, where the exhibition center is located.
However, it was still unclear why Jeonghwan had brought them here, and as soon as he offered to show them something, they got on a tinted black SUV waiting outside the exhibition hall and drove to this place for about 15 minutes without knowing where they were going.
If Jung-hwan had not willingly allowed Secret Service bodyguards and a security vehicle to accompany them, it would even raise suspicions that a crazy North Korean leader might be taking advantage of the summit to kidnap members of the US administration.
“By the way, this is where Mr. Son and Masayoshi Son’s company, SoftBank’s headquarters are located. Is it here that you have something to show?”
“To be precise, it’s a nearby central data center located a little out of Tokyo, but… … What you can see there, you can see it here as well.”
The US cabinet members, including Rice, tilted their heads at Son Jeong-eui, who was still speaking with an uncomfortable expression on her face, but it was impossible to just come back here.
After passing through the inconspicuous security gates of the underground parking lot, they boarded the executive elevator and finally arrived at the door of a small office in SoftBank’s headquarters.
When they arrived, three young men, who seemed to have been waiting for them, nodded and opened the door to the office, but at a glance, they looked far from Japanese employees working for SoftBank.
And a few in the party, particularly the CIA director, recognized at a glance that the electronic lock on the door they opened was a specially designed lock for use in extremely sensitive security facilities.
When the door opened, Condoleezza Rice put her hand on her waist and looked around the room again.
“So, General Secretary, what are we looking at now?”
The office they entered through the door was a small closed room measuring 7m in width and 15m in height.
Several small workstations were lined up on one wall, and huge black cabinets were lined up on the other wall, emitting red and blue light and exchanging electronic signals. there was.
If you are an ordinary person, you will be tilted your head as to what this place is supposed to do, and Condoleezza Rice was no different.
But the director of the NSA knew immediately what this room was and what he was doing in it.
Because they too had the same facilities planted in telephone offices throughout the United States.
And Jeonghwan immediately confirmed his guess.
“This is where you have access to all of the Internet Backbone networks that SoftBank serves throughout Japan. I’m not the only one here… … In any case, all traffic passing through Japan’s SoftBank network can be filtered and analyzed in real time and instantly. Of course, you can filter out specific traffic and aggregate them separately.”
“General Secretary Kim. That means… … And this room… … .”
“Hmm, it seems that the chief has already noticed. Do you see these cabinets here? A router is installed that acts as a ‘splitter’ that separates only what we need from all optical signals passing through SoftBank’s backbone network. Given SoftBank’s current market share in Japan, virtually any signal that goes through Japan’s fiber optic cable can be taken from this room.”
“… … .”
“The name of this room is ‘Room 741A’ in our internal sources. This code name must be quite familiar to the Director of the NSA, but to tell the truth, it was taken from that. But within the Korean People’s Army, not the party, they call it by a more direct name. ‘The 504th Branch of the Korean People’s Army’.”
“Wait a minute, Secretary General. So what you’re saying is… … .”
Having come this far, Condoleezza Rice, a non-professional, could easily guess what Junghwan was showing as a transaction target and what this room was doing.
But before I ask, there’s something I want to know.
“… … How many years ago… … ?”
“This room was built in the early 2000s, so it’s been 10 years now.”
“So, in the meantime… … .”
“Yes, to inform you officially here, we, the Information Warfare Command of the Korean People’s Army and the Cyber Guidance Bureau of the General Bureau of External Reconnaissance, have been using almost all phone calls, e-mails, text messages, faxes, and all signal information made in Japan over the past 10 years. I’ve been collecting in my room. … … Here, the ‘voluntary’ cooperation of SoftBank President Masayoshi Son played a huge role. It is worthwhile to invest in both material and spiritual aspects for a long time.”
