– The legacy must be deep.
Thomas muttered as if agreeing, and Robert nodded too.
If the purpose of the nameless organization led by Robert was to kill the target, the CIA often used assassination as a means.
I have been plotting division by leaking disinformation or conciliating people around me.
After a while, Robert opened his mouth.
“Are there more details of the operation?”
“Well, the sketch is in place, but the operation could not be materialized because it was not possible to estimate whether or not Alpha would be deployed and when.”
At those words, Thomas frowned on the other side of the screen.
– Shouldn’t you be prepared for that number of cases and come up with a plan?
“We are sad too. It wasn’t long after I figured out the relevant facts that planning was impossible. I wish I had a chance to stay up all night, but I just couldn’t.”
Since the morning meeting was in progress, it was said that it had been less than a few hours since the information was obtained.
The CIA agent who was speaking soon shrugged.
“however… The Minister looks like Alpha’s protector. You have been so hot and angry… Did your affiliation change without us knowing? Or is it because you plan to take Alpha to the US military later?”
Thomas, who was about to bring Kang-tae to the US Army, raised his eyebrows and did not respond.
Meanwhile, Robert, who was lost in thought, opened his mouth.
“What are the chances that your plan will come true?”
“If you are talking about the possibility that the relationship between Pikal and China will go wrong… Over 60%. Although the relationship between the two is strong, the alliance period is short, and there is intelligence that can be misleading… More than anything, China is pretty afraid of Alpha. It’s not just our operatives, Alpha can turn China away from Pikal.”
“What is the risk? We need plenty of safeguards.”
“Let’s arrange it. If you don’t like it, you can stop the operation at the end stage. Above all, China… … .”
The CIA agent smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“We do not have the capacity to create a situation like the last Russian infiltration. No, even then, it was not the Russian army, but Pikal’s subordinates. That won’t happen in China. It cannot be.”
Robert nodded at the CIA agent’s confident words.
‘If the relationship between Pikal and China is cut off as the agent said… … .’
Then Robert, who was reviewing the military situation and situation, slowly opened his mouth.
“… Let’s prepare for alpha input. Details will be discussed in consultation.”
I had no choice but to agree.
It was because the operation was related to Pikal, the first target of an unknown organization.
Although the chance of getting rid of him directly would be very low, it was beneficial enough because it cut off social ties.
Even so, sanctions related to Pikal were impossible in many ways.
I don’t know if it’s possible even with financial transaction sanctions, which the United States often used, because it usually operated with secret funds and often used real money.
Therefore, the current plan was worth implementing.
The target was also not a tolerable organization, it was none other than China.
Soon the CIA agent smiled.
“Thank you, Anderson.”
After a few other items were brought up, Thomas on the other side of the screen finished the meeting as if he was tired.
– If there’s nothing more important, let’s end here. Thanks to this meeting, I have more contacts.
“Okay, Minister.”
After answering, he looked around the screen as if he remembered Thomas and added his words.
– By the way, please take good care of the Pentagon’s unusual event to end safely.
I was talking about Operation Wedding.
Of course, I was thinking that the wedding would end well as much as I had prepared thoroughly, but I asked for it just in case.
Because even the jihadist point organization joined.
Of course, it is impossible for them to change the trend, but the possibility that something else may have intervened could not be ruled out.
After those at the table answered.
Tiff.
The screen went black, and the general who was handling the laptop declared the meeting over.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
While shaking hands like that, Robert looked at his watch.
The operation was due to begin soon,
* * *
Somewhere in southwestern South Carolina.
As I approached the helipad with the letter ‘H’ on it, I hesitated when I saw the object Ron was holding out.
It was none other than a large hard case.
two of them too.
They were HK416 and TAC-50, respectively.
But, as always, he didn’t take it naturally and looked at Ron.
It wasn’t because he was fighting an armed group, but because he was dressed up for a wedding.
Of course, he wore a bulletproof vest and carried a Glock 19 loaded with live ammunition, but it was not something to carry an assault rifle or anti-material sniper rifle that could fire continuously.
I didn’t hear anything else in the first place.
However, Ron, who presented the hard case, nodded calmly.
“What are you doing if you don’t take it?”
“… Are you going to fight on the way to the wedding?”
“I was just considering the unexpected.”
“What the hell were you thinking about… … .”
“The fact that your bounty is one billion dollars and that the wanted man still hasn’t been canceled.”
“… What about ammo?”
“It’s in the case. It was also installed in a helicopter.”
While listening to Ron’s answer, he accepted the case without saying anything, but Harry’s voice came from behind.
“Oh, senior! Do you even have an assault rifle?! I guess that would be close too. HK416 or MCX… … .”
“Shut up and get on.”
“yes!”
As I climbed into the helicopter while covering Harry’s mouth, colleagues in suits climbed.
Everyone was looking at the gun case I received and giving them a word, but only one of them was different.
Rachel.
From nob le mt l dot com
Like any other guest, Rachel, wearing a one-piece dress, was sitting quietly while adjusting her attire.
I was taken aback by her appearance.
It was because Rachel, whom I’d seen so far, always wore only pants and a T-shirt, whereas now she was wearing a neat party outfit.
Of course, it wasn’t because it was strange.
It fit well.
Originally, the face was pretty, and the body was elastic and good.
‘Come to think of it, is this your first time wearing a skirt… … ?’
Around the time when I thought about useless things while reminiscing about the year before last when I saw Rachel.
rattle!
Finally, as Ron boarded, the helicopter door closed, and it began to take off with an intense rotor sound.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo-
It’s a helicopter I always ride, but it was a time when Harry’s wedding and Rachel’s dress made me feel strange.
Dirty words came through the in-ear walkie-talkie plugged into my ear.
It was a voice confirming that there was nothing wrong and checking the current situation, but I listened quietly and then hesitated.
It wasn’t just me this time.
Everyone on board, including Ron, turned to each other.
– Toyota truck approaching 3 miles ahead (approximately 4.8 km). I will bypass the route.
“No, it’s not some f*cking Middle East… … .”
While privately armed trucks known as technicals come to mind.
The helicopter maneuvered sideways.
Then, voices relaying road conditions were heard, and attack helicopters could be seen through the left and right windows.
It was a time when I naturally thought that the road to the wedding hall was similar to an infiltration or exit operation.
– RPG!
A short, strong cry broke out, and at the same time a roar rang out.
Intense gunfire and explosions from autocannons.
Fight against each other! Kwaaang-!
At the same time, I could feel the vibrations in the air.
“crazy… … .”
In a situation where swearing came out, I unlocked the hard case and took out the gun.
Then it was time to look into the chamber.
– Neutralize the enemy, release the situation.
I heard a fortunate radio, but I couldn’t let go of the gun in my hand.
Because it’s still a long way to get to the Pentagon.
I waited with my index finger on the trigger guard.
At the same time, Andrei’s voice was heard.
– Is it true that I am in the US mainland right now? Not goddamn Afghanistan or Iraq?
I heard laughter at those words.
– hehehehe, I agree. Shooting an RPG against a helicopter is a rare thing outside of the Middle East. I never dreamed that I would have such an experience on the mainland.
It was Jose’s words.
I nodded and agreed.
An attempted drone attack and a shootout, plus a Toyota truck and an RPG?
It was safe to say that this was during combat operations.
Out of habit, I looked into the chamber again and checked the locking device with my own eyes.
At the same time, Ron’s voice was heard.
– Do you need anything more?
“This is enough.”
– It’s different from when I first got it.
“… After hearing the reason, I accepted it without saying anything.”
– hehehehe, yes. You can even take it to the dining hall.
“Are you serious?”
– If you want.
“So you’re saying it’s okay to carry this inside the Pentagon?”
When I asked, Ron nodded.
– Yes, if you want.
“… No, that’s okay, if you do, the atmosphere at the wedding hall will be ruined.”
I had no intention of picking it up in the first place.
It was because it made no sense that safety was not guaranteed at the Pentagon.
And unlike Harry, who would love to be awesome, it was clear that his wife-to-be, family, and other guests wouldn’t be able to lift a finger.
Unlike Korea, the United States was extremely sensitive to firearms, and was also accustomed to danger.
It wasn’t an HK416 for nothing, it wasn’t armed with a Glock 19.
I also hid it behind my back so that it could not be seen.
But, I just had a conversation.
Words that say that it is okay to go around armed inside the Pentagon.
“Did you get any information?”
– no.
“But why did you say you could bring it in?”
– Because it works.
“yes?”
I wondered what it was, but soon I heard Ron’s explanation.
– If you ask, I’ll propose it to the upper level, but the upper level is more likely to pass it. That’s all.
“ah… Are there any other reasons?”
– Would it be possible for the Pentagon to have something like that?
“I don’t think so.”
I nodded in agreement, but Harry, who was sharing the conversation, interrupted.
– Even if there is, won’t senior get rid of it?
“… You stop drinking alcohol.”
While shaking his head, even Jose helped.
– hehehehe, it’s nice to hear, but what’s wrong? Isn’t that wrong? I’m also reassured that you’re holding a gun. It’s even more reliable now. I can understand why Harry would do that. Above all else, aren’t you the last bodyguard to protect his wedding?
While Harry was talking behind his back.
The helicopter stopped working within a few hours.
Fortunately, in the meantime, I didn’t have to fire, nor did the attack helicopters fire their cannons.
In the midst of the fierce rotor sound, we had only small talk.
Of course, Harry’s mouth didn’t stop.
– You’re really getting married here!
Perhaps because of the wedding, he looked down at the Pentagon and admired it again.
Even after arriving at the heliport, being guided by a field officer and receiving a congratulatory card from the Pentagon, the Secretary of Defense, I was delighted and amazed.
“You turned the conference room into a ceremony hall. wow… The officiating ceremony was also performed by the former commander… … .”
Behind the happy face of a child, I finally greeted the bride and even briefly shook hands with her family.
What I heard was the same.
“… You are that senior.”
Then, along with the words of taking good care of Harry, I heard quite a few words of thanks and sorry.
I asked Harry, who was taking me right away, quietly.
“What the hell were you talking about?”
“I wasn’t talking about the operation. It’s just that the person I serve is the most powerful and greatest in America… … .”
“What do you know… No, stop and do your thing.”
He dissuaded Harry and finished preparing for the wedding.
Fortunately, there have been no injuries so far.
