182 – Beautiful violin sound in the wind
An order to surrender from above.
And soon after hearing the news of the massacre of the military leaders that came through the news.
Miss Cheok Chun immediately conveyed their intentions to their representative, Adjutant Song Dana.
-“That means… I will give up on fighting further than this. You mean that?”-
-“yes. That’s right.”-
Miss Cheok Chun clearly conveys her intentions while looking at Adjutant Song Dana.
She was now in a situation where she delivered a sign of intention that was virtually equivalent to surrender to those she called rebels.
Their movements will no longer be blocked, and any demands will be accepted.
I will give my life if necessary, but in return, please ensure the safety of my subordinates and citizens.
That was the declaration that Ms. Cheok-chun made to them,
Seeing her behavior like this, Adjutant Song Dana asked with a slightly surprised expression.
– “Do you really mean that you would surrender so meekly? The person who was so stubborn until just now suddenly…”-
– “I’m just a soldier acting on orders. If the country tells me to shoot, I must shoot, and if the country tells me to die, it is my duty to die. And now that country has asked me to declare surrender, so that would be the correct answer. However, I just want to prevent unnecessary sacrifices from occurring in the process.”-
– “Ummm… ”-
I had expected it to some extent, but honestly, her attitude was more determined than that.
Looking at this, Dana Song was able to clearly recognize what kind of person this person in front of her eyes was once again.
‘Literally living and dying according to orders.. A person who is not really simple is a person like this..’
Although he has reached the pinnacle of powerlessness, he is an existence that absolutely obeys the orders of Da, who moves with his own will, not his own will.
Song Dana began to clearly feel that the person named Cheok Chun-yang was like a sharp sword that could cut anything, but did not take any judgment or action by itself.
‘In that respect… if you met the owner well, there would be no one as good as this.’
Recognizing that fact, Adjutant Song Dana looked at her and began to say what she had to say as a ‘winner’.
– “I understand what Miss Cheokchun meant. However, we did not do this for self-interest anyway. Our purpose is to punish those who blaspheme the soldiers who have been blinded by power and risked their lives in political strife, and we do not intend to engage in meaningless fights with soldiers like us.”
“..thank you for saying that.”
In this situation where the other party gave up the fight in the first place, there is no reason to shed unwilling blood.
In this way, Adjutant Song Dana accepted the ‘surrender’ of Cheok Chun-yang and his troops, and accordingly, the battle between the rebels and the capital defense forces, which was expected to have a big clash, ended without bloodshed on either side.

A first-of-its-kind incident in the Ministry of Defense.
The news that key figures were massacred due to an attack by unknown terrorists was enough to give people a great shock.
Even two of the perpetrators were blown up without even leaving a body, and the other one who committed suicide with poison failed to identify himself even after mobilizing all means.
The only clue was former Vice Minister Lee Jae-min, who disguised them as bodyguards and brought them inside. As soon as the incident occurred, he left the country and completely disappeared.
In this way, the unprecedented terrorist incident in the history of the county government had to be ended as an unsolved case, but frankly, the majority of the general public opinion was of the opinion that there was no problem.
It was a fact that everyone who knew already knew how the high-ranking people who were slaughtered in the first place had run state affairs like beggars until now.
They treated the heroes who succeeded in recovering the Yalu River as cold food, causing them to rebel, and even went so far as to go crazy by pledging to wage an all-out war against them.
In fact, most of the people were positive about the fact that all those who could be said to be the main culprits of ruining the country were forcibly expelled to the other world due to the ‘accidental’ of terrorism, but few people felt sorry for this.
In such a situation where everything was suddenly and uncertainly arranged, the temporary leadership consisting of the remaining generals and lawmakers immediately proceeded with negotiations with the ‘rebels’.
Promotions and awards were given in the name of a public apology for the administration of state affairs so far, and compensation for their courage for moving so-called ‘for the sake of the country’.
In addition, along with an oath to prevent this from happening again in the future, and practical support, half of the rebels agreed to return to the Yalu River front, which was too uneasy to leave as it was.
After that, through the reorganization of the power organization and the arrangement of the situation, which took some time, the back-end of the case proceeded smoothly.
Eventually, about 80% of the units that participated in the recall returned to their original positions, and the second Wihwado recall ended with much less blood than expected.

“In the end, it ended like this.”
“I know. It ended up being simpler than I thought, so it feels a bit draining.”
Kwon Soon and Talos are sitting at a cafe and sipping drinks.
The two of them were talking in a light tone while watching the latest news coming out of their cell phones.
“Well, no matter what we do, in the end it went as we hoped, so I’m satisfied. The generals of the Lee family were virtually annihilated, and the trash that had been holding the soldiers’ ankles in the meantime was also cleaned up.”
“I agree. As a bonus, it’s all the more so in the sense that those who are newly in power are trustworthy people.”
A picture of two people coming out of a cell phone.
Watching Adjutants Song Dana and Adjutant Jeong Gong-Heo, who were promoted from lieutenant generals, who were originally colonel-level adjutants, and actually held real power in the military, Yoo Kwon-soon spoke with a little trust.
Even if the others didn’t know it, she had already fought alongside them in the last two large-scale battles.
In particular, in the case of Adjutant Song Dana, the situation is more believable in that she helped decisively save Talos in front of her eyes.
‘Additionally, both of them are people who greatly benefited from our lieutenant Jinhyun Lee.
The fact that high-ranking people with cool personalities know the true value of a competent boyfriend was a positive aspect in many ways.
In fact, as he was able to achieve an overwhelming victory based on their hot support in the last two battles, Kwon Soon was hoping that he would be able to experience such things on a slightly larger scale in the future.
At that time, looking at Kwon Soon who was thinking that way, Talos said with a slightly bitter smile.
“They are competent and high-ranking people.
“That’s right.. Even the other colleagues or people who die unfairly like Shim-young. There won’t be any more people who can’t overcome the shock and break down like Ro.”
Thoughts about lost friends that had not been spoken of for a while.
As he remembered them once more, Kwon Soon continued with a quiet, sorrowful smile.
“Rhodo must have heard of this by now, right?”
“Of course… I’m sure it was. Perhaps by now they are smiling more happily than we are?”
“I hope we can meet again someday. And if possible.. if we can even play together like before..”
Although he became a brutal terrorist, the existence of the great monk still remained clear in the hearts of Kwon Soon and Talos.
Tragedy and broken, but nonetheless still a precious friend to them.
Recognizing that fact, Talos said with a bright smile.
“Don’t worry, it will definitely happen. If it’s that guy, someday… he’ll definitely appear in front of us. While holding a violin in one hand as before, shouting for an ensemble.”
“Yeah.. I guess. Because Lo is that kind of guy.”

Just like that, with the hope that we will meet again someday with our precious friend.
The two looked at each other and smiled brightly.
Listening to the beautiful violin sound contained in a gust of wind blowing at that moment…
