315: recalculate and look (7)
“What is this?”
“The laptop used by American engineers. The contents of the previous work and the development of new technologies were included as it is.”
“Wow, great!”
Looking at the laptop Cheol-woo had taken out, Zahar was amazed. As he said, this was a suit-only laptop.
Whirick! Whirlik!
Zahar immediately turned on the laptop and moved the mouse at a frightening speed. As expected, the laptop was full of suit-related information.
“Then the engineers who used it…?”
“I put it in a nice place somewhere else. If the CIA calculates our bill, we’ll send it to you right away. Why, does anyone know?”
“Perhaps. But I don’t want to see you again. After all, they are people who just skipped my research…”
Zahar answered without taking his eyes off the monitor. That meant he had no interest in American engineers.
“why? I heard that there was someone who made a wheelchair just for you…”
“I was forced to make it because I was pressured to withdraw from the research if I didn’t make it. All they wanted was my brain to squeeze something out, and they didn’t care much about the lower part of my neck.”
Zahar said as if nothing had happened. But even the distorted eyebrows could not be hidden. It was hard to even imagine what a highly sensitive adolescent boy with a severe disability would have gone through.
“Then, shall we feed those bastards right now?”
“how?”
Again, I didn’t say I didn’t like it. Zahar, who accepted his offer coldly, looked at him with interest.
“Try writing code that can seriously disrupt your suit. Then I’ll take care of planting it in that system.”
“If your server security system is the best in the world, isn’t it? In addition, since critical systems are managed offline, remote penetration is almost impossible.”
“A door is an object that cannot but be opened no matter how secure it is. If it doesn’t open, it’s a wall. is not it?”
“Wow! That’s cool. But it would be much more effective to just put the code on this laptop and hand it over…”
“Why are you giving me this? just you write it! Just looking at it, it’s a state-of-the-art laptop designed specifically for suits.”
“really? This is really high-end and even has a special port, what can I say about it?”
Zahar asked cautiously with a worried face. Having experienced them firsthand, I knew their persistence better than anyone else.
“Don’t worry about that! Because I know the CIA better than you. By now, there must have been a riot there too. There must be a lot of people who are already aiming for politics. It’s because I accidentally uncovered the wrinkled part. Huh!”
Cheol-woo gave a sinister smile. For some reason, Zahar was following that smile.
Someone smashed a desk in Langley’s office in Fairfax, Virginia. A white middle-aged man with a thick tummy mustache roared with a bald face.
“Are you saying that now? The Black Ops team that went to Hong Kong was destroyed? Do you know how many times you told me they were the best?”
“I’m sorry, Deputy Director! However, as we continued to engage with special teams believed to be on the Chinese and Russian side…”
“Shut up! So, did you spend that expensive money and try to deal with ordinary people? Would you have given me a huge amount of support just to make it happen? Speak, speak…”
The CIA’s deputy director, Chris Walker, with an even more earnest face, lashed out at Black Ops’ lieutenant colonel Andrew Cox. Then Lieutenant Colonel Andrew shut his mouth and bowed his head.
As Deputy Director Chris, a former special warfare team leader, I had high expectations when introducing the suit technology to the Black Ops team. If he hadn’t been in charge of the CIA’s housekeeping, the suit team would not have been created under the SAC.
Because of his love, his anger grew even greater. In addition, the team included talented people who were responsible for the future of the CIA.
The wooden desk made of reddish-brown wood was dented by the deputy director’s fist. Knowing his fiery nature, he deliberately chose a solid wooden desk, but it did not last less than a year.
But thanks to him, his anger has subsided a lot. Although he had a fiery temperament, he was more cool than anyone in his work.
“So… what does he want?”
“Perhaps you want a cruise. Instead, I will return the survivors.”
“How much money was paid to the team?”
“Not confirmed.”
“Wow! It would be a decent amount. Seeing what he was doing, I couldn’t accept that. Huh!”
Since he was working for the CIA, where to give after being discharged, an estimate came out immediately. When you see that they fuck the CIA and offer a deal, the opponent was absolutely no ordinary guy.
“So what is the response?”
“The first is to put Devgru in. If several teams are put in at once…”
“Okay, what about the second?”
He couldn’t have known that he was just trying. The military refused to hire a special operations team from the CIA, taking advantage of the annihilation of Team 1 Devgrew in New York last time.
Therefore, he resumed research on the suit he was trying to discard while pouring out a huge amount of money. Even though he was aware of the situation, Colonel Andrew came up with a plan A to call up a special team.
Saying it even though you knew it wouldn’t work was saying that there was only plan B as an alternative.
“You pay the money he asks and you bring in the technicians. In order to minimize technology loss and leakage, and to take precise measures in the future…”
“Who is paying? Could you please give it to me?”
Once again, Colonel Andrew’s gaze fell to the ground. If the person holding the money chain of the CIA is betting on the other side, even the director of the CIA will have nothing to say.
“Did I buy you a cruise to go hang out with? Or maybe the money was rotting, so they supported the research fund. But what, more money? Sibel, if you have the money, you can buy nuclear missiles and put them in the mouths of those who threaten security.”
An ardent conservative, he extremely hated anything that threatened national security. Even some lawmakers who considered it undermining national security were treated as equals with the Communist Party.
“Listen! Whatever he is, take it out of your hands and report back to me. And there will be no more burials in the future. So, whether you sell your body or whatever you do…”
“Look, Sgt. Dan and Zahar are in their hands. And the newly modified suit development system…”
“…God damn it!”
This modified suit development system was a project large enough to make a huge hole in the CIA’s annual budget. It was Deputy Director Chris who ran directly through the relevant ministries to fill the budget.
“Call him right now! Don’t let me deal directly with you. Take a good look at how I cook these guys…”
There was no one to trust in the national security that the CIA was responsible for. That’s why he was unable to get up after robbing this guy who was just insane.
Fortunately, Lt. Andrew, in front of him, was a strong security officer. He is hung up on his personal achievements, but he was never the kind of guy who would sell the country for personal gain like politicians.
‘Even if it’s half a penny like this, I have to teach it well and hand over this position. Now it’s hard to sit for a long time because of back pain.’
I was going to show this idiot what proficiency is. No one recognized his efforts to nurture talents that were lacking in this way.
“I think if we use this modified wireless protocol, we can access the Warrior’s system.”
“What do you think the probability of success is?”
“About 60%…”
Zahar said, tapping the laptop that Cheol-woo brought. He commented that it might be possible to access the Warrior’s core system via a new type of wireless device built into the laptop.
This was possible because the laptop had a built-in wireless device that allowed simultaneous access to multiple suites of systems at close range. It would have taken a month or two to go to Korea and make a device like this.
‘Warrior, what do you think…?’
[I also estimate a 65% chance of success. If you come up with a countermeasure for the aftereffects that you will receive in case of failure, we recommend that you try it at least once.]
“That sounds better than nothing.”
“No, not you. The Warrior also expects 65%. Instead, he said that it would be worthwhile to start by preventing the aftereffects of failure.”
“After all, the Warriors have the same thoughts as me. Hi-Hi!”
Zahar smiled proudly. His pride and obsession with his future creation, the Warrior, were getting stronger.
“great! Let’s try it after dinner after making a few corrections.”
“Why are you having dinner?”
“There is a saying that ghosts that die after eating have good color. Just in case you don’t know, I’ll try it after eating a lot of delicious food.”
“Five! After all, my brother is…”
Zahar greatly admired his words. For Zahar, who lived with numerous limitations due to physical limitations, every word and action of Cheol-woo was a dream.
Then the phone, stolen from the American technicians, rang. Shortly after the time he gave me, I got a call from Langley.
“Where, then, shall we do business before dinner?”
Cheol-woo smiled at Zahar and answered the phone. Now it was my turn to receive a much greater reward than the effort I had put in.
“Are the compensation for the bereaved family over?”
“yes! We finished the reward first.”
Minseok received a report from the office of the headquarters. Director Park dared to report what he could do in the secretary’s office.
After the fire at the chemical plant, Director Park acted like an ardent supporter of Min Seok. He couldn’t figure it out, but he said he could see Chairman Kang’s youthful appearance and helped him like his guardian.
“Good for you. Then what about the locals…?”
“that is···. We are on hold for a while because we asked for a compensation that was too high.”
“I must have told you to reward me the way you want, right?”
“But the opposition of the board of directors was so strong . . . It’s a situation where the company could be hurt by just paying compensation…”
“Are you saying that Gangho’s group is going to go bankrupt only because of compensation from the residents, now?”
“The bigger problem is that the payment is delayed due to the opposition of the board of directors.”
“What are you complaining about?”
Due to Min-seok’s big decision, the accident was quickly settled. With the support fire of tteokbokki, the damage was reduced to more than half of the initial estimate.
Most of all, everyone was surprised that other affiliated affiliates did not stop operating. Affiliates that were likely to collapse together like dominoes were supplied with materials on time and returned to normal without any damage.
But the problem was within the group. A group has appeared that is secretly betting on the steps of Min-seok, who informally acts as the president’s deputy.
Minseok’s attempts to get rid of the aftermath of the fire at once have been frustrated over and over again because of them, who say that Minseok is doing extravagance.
“There are many dissatisfaction with the compensation equivalent to full-time employees, even for daily workers. Internal dissatisfaction is erupting from the bosses as well, and it is said that they are having difficulties in management.”
In the end, the problem was in the over-compensation. The compensation situation already disclosed through the media touched the hearts of the group’s presidents as well as other groups.
If the Kangho group pays compensation as reported, the public will turn the knife to other companies that do not. The forces that do not want such a bad (?) precedent to remain were applying covert pressure to the strong group.
“Didn’t you say that the rewards are already over? Why are you here now…”
“Once the compensation to full-time employees is over. However, we have ordered that compensation for non-regular workers be withheld for a while.”
The moment he heard Manager Park’s words, Minseok’s spine cooled. This was a clear protest, and a warning from the executives to him and Chairman Kang.
