Chapter 514 Conquest of Seoul (1)
Conquest of Seoul.
When we first talked about the agenda, people including Kim Jun-hyeok showed a worried reaction.
“It is a reckless plan. Whether or not Seoul can be conquered with the power of Incheon is not the important issue. After the Absolute predicted a cataclysm, the top leaders of each country passed an international law prohibiting fighting among the same people for one month after the catastrophe broke out at a gathering. It is a law to prevent people from eating their own flesh in a situation where humanity might perish, and civil war does not deviate from the scope of international law. If Incheon takes advantage of the crisis in Seoul and breaks them down. There is a high probability that countries around the world will define ‘Incheon’ as an enemy.”
“I think the same. Everyone thinks the central government is unjust, but from the moment Incheon violates international law, local governments will not compromise with Incheon. It is a fight that has lost its cause. Even if Incheon collapses the central government, Incheon should rather worry about the future.”
international law.
It was a sensitive issue.
Everyone had no choice but to be frightened by Roman Dmitri’s remarks because he could turn the whole world into an enemy.
but.
Roman Dmitry was calm.
Issues such as international law had already been fully considered.
“Your words are right. If international law is violated, the whole world will attack Incheon, and whether it is direct or indirect, Incheon will experience many difficulties. However, risk due to international law is a meaningless premise. The central government has already shown hostility towards Incheon, and from the moment we rejected their offer, we have crossed the river of no return. If the central government fully reorganizes its forces after the cataclysm, we will have no choice but to miss an advantageous opportunity because of the time guaranteed by international law.”
“If you think about the future, that is a factor you have to accept.”
“no. Even considering the future, now is the right time. International law is the law for the great powers. On the surface, it appears to be a safeguard for mankind, but in practice, no meaningful punishment has ever been carried out when great powers commit acts that violate international law. They’re just trying to block variables. So that other countries, except for the great powers, do not self-destruct. That way, the risk that the whole world can bear is dispersed, so humanity is used as a pretext to restrain other countries. I hope for a new future centered on Incheon. And Incheon’s status in the new future will be determined not by whether it faithfully follows the standards set by the world, such as international law, but by how powerful Incheon is.”
It was an unconventional logic.
The existence of international law was destroyed by force.
“The central government is in a dangerous situation. If we attack them now, we can minimize the loss of our forces, and our track record of crushing the central government will remain the standard by which the world judges us. Think about it. Although it is a small country, the central government is the organization that unites the entire country, the Republic of Korea. If one city has the power to overwhelm the central government, it is difficult to attack Incheon, even if it is a great power. In fact, the power of local government is not needed in a war against the central government. The reason for accepting them is to unite the entire Republic of Korea, and if the great powers apply economic sanctions by citing international law, we can choose the direction of self-sufficiency with resources secured from local governments. I’m not saying In the past, there was a powerful weapon called nuclear weapons in this world. No matter how small a country is, it couldn’t bear to touch a country that possesses nuclear weapons.”
People swallowed dry saliva.
The more Roman Dmitry spoke, the more he was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming sense of intimidation.
“I defeated an S-rank monster in one blow. My existence will be like a ‘nuclear weapon’ to people. Do you think you dare to attack Incheon even if it is a great power? impossible. Even if a war breaks out, I have the strength to deal with them.”
It was arrogant.
It was great confidence.
However, since the opponent was Roman Demitri, people including Kim Jun-hyeok did not accept it as if it were absurd.
actions in the past.
It has already proven itself enough.
If he is right, he is right, and if he can, he is possible.
In fact, if you have the confidence to handle the whole world, you will be able to organize the central government without much trouble even after the cataclysm is over and you attack Seoul.
Still, it hit the right time. Roman Dmitri always thought about the best no matter how powerful he was.
If the central government was clearly defined as the enemy, it was a natural choice to find the enemy’s weak point and brutally bite it down.
blast furnace.
Now was the right time.
It is the right time to create a new game centered on Incheon, which will destroy the central government.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Three days after red time. Within three days, I will identify my enemies and wipe out all those whom I have defined as my enemies. keep in mind If you want to follow me in the future, you will have to understand and accept the new trend centered on Incheon, not the international law created by the same people putting their heads together.”
* * *
And now.
Cha Young-min asked with a shocked expression.
“… Was this part discussed with the Incheon government in advance?”
“Yes.”
“Kuhm.”
It was embarrassing.
It’s a conquest of Seoul.
Cha Young-min wanted to ask complex issues such as international law, but he knew that it was a meaningless premise.
There is Kim Jun-hyeok in the Incheon government. As the mayor of Incheon, he has a reputation for being wise, but he couldn’t have followed Roman Dmitri without thinking.
Besides, isn’t that person standing next to Roman Dmitri like a bodyguard, synonymous with justice called the white-clad wizard?
It was a crossroads of choice.
It was time to make a decision by looking at Roman Dmitri rather than questioning things that did not make common sense.
‘Roman Dmitri is a person who destroys common sense. I blew off the head of an S-rank monster with a single blow, and even though a monster wave occurred over the sea, it was easily resolved. Even with the information I checked, Roman Dmitri is not an existence that can be defined by rank. If you have a strong power far beyond the S rank and have a personality that goes to war against the atrocities of the central government, there is a high probability that your relationship with him will be decided with a single choice. If you keep a vague distance while measuring the other person, you will never be able to move forward like him.’
I swallowed dry saliva.
Incheon v. Central Government.
It’s a ridiculous fight.
People would say it was a fight between David and Goliath, but Cha Young-min did not doubt Roman Dmitri’s victory.
It just seemed like it.
Instinct was strongly driven.
‘The answer has already been decided.’
I saw the essence.
Orientation by Roman Dmitry.
In modern society, the arrogant expression of the people is used, but unlike the central government, which always says that the people are everything, it did not turn away from the people.
Those who serve the people and those who do not.
It was clear which of the two options was good for Busan and my own future.
The worry didn’t last long.
After exchanging glances with the leaders, Cha Young-min said with a determined expression.
“So what am I going to do now?”
* * *
Ulsan.
Fortunately, the place was not hit directly by the cataclysm.
However, as the monster wave occurred in Busan, I was in the area of influence, and as the monsters that inhabited the area flooded in, I experienced difficulties in my own way.
Then an incident happened.
When Red Time was over and I was about to take a breather, I received a report that one of Ulsan’s defense strongholds was in danger.
[You need help right now. As the walls collapsed, the defense ability was completely lost.]
“… I’ll find out soon.”
Communication was cut off.
Ulsan Mayor Lee Myeong-hwan pressed his temples in pain.
early catastrophe.
Unlike cities like Incheon, which were mostly wiped out, Ulsan had a relatively peaceful time.
At first I thought it was luck.
However, as so many citizens survived, it was not possible to concentrate the defense system by downsizing the city like Incheon, and Ulsan had to divide the defense base into several to handle the large population.
And that wasn’t all.
As migrants flocked to the news that Ulsan was safe, Ulsan had one of the largest populations among local governments.
So, the defense base was divided into three.
Distributed troops to prepare for a catastrophe, but I heard a report that one of them collapsed a little while ago.
It was a dilemma.
According to the report, reinforcements should be sent immediately, but the current situation at the base was not so good.
‘It can be dangerous if you move hastily after the red time is over. However, if we do not send reinforcements, many Ulsan citizens will die. Ah, how could I do this?’
My head hurt.
I wasn’t quick to judge.
As he was pondering over and over again, he received an unexpected call.
‘Cha Young-min?’
Mayor of Busan.
It was Cha Young-min’s contact.
I felt a bit hesitant.
Immediately after the monster wave occurred, Cha Young-min requested reinforcements from Ulsan and other local governments.
Lee Myung-hwan refused the earnest request.
I fully understand the fact that Busan is dangerous, but I was not allowed enough energy to help Busan in a situation where it was too much to protect Ulsan.
Since he was feeling remorse alone, Lee Myung-hwan answered the call after thinking enough excuses in his head.
however.
What came back was shocking.
[Join the rebellion. If you help me, I will solve all the problems Ulsan is facing.]
Roman Dmitri gave the role to Cha Young-min.
If Incheon is the same body as Roman Dmitry, Busan made the first decision to cooperate with Incheon rather than the central government.
So, I put Cha Young-min at the forefront.
It was judged that if the person who was persuaded persuaded others, he could sufficiently win the heart of the local government.
It was as expected.
Cha Young-min knew how to persuade.
[Currently, the central government cannot afford to help the provinces. No, even if there is, Ulsan will be pushed to the lower priority because it takes care of the forces that are friendly to the central government first. Mayor Lee Myung-hwan Roman Dmitri saved Incheon and Busan. He has a power that is incomparable to that of the central government, and he will never abandon his people. So use your judgment wisely. There are no second chances. If you reject Incheon’s offer, you will never be able to overturn your current choice.]
I was in trouble.
It was not an easy problem.
It was difficult to trust Roman Dmitri that much, and if he chose Incheon, he could have been pushed out as a rebel force.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Lee Myung-hwan changed his mind.
As Cha Young-min said, even if he pledged allegiance to the central government, he could not receive an answer that he would help right away.
Considering the immediate situation, not the distant future, it was clear that Roman Dmitry was the person who would solve the crisis in Ulsan.
and.
believed in the previous case.
If Incheon and Busan, which were directly hit by the monster wave, were safe, Incheon would have had enough power.
“… If you help Ulsan, I will join the rebellion along with Incheon in the future.”
beyond the screen.
Cha Young-min laughed.
[You thought well.]
* * *
People’s hearts were cunning.
Even after saying that he would cooperate, Lee Myung-hwan repeatedly reflected on whether his choice was correct.
‘If the central government subdues Incheon. The Ulsan government and I who joined the rebels will be punished appropriately as rebels. Is it really right to believe in Roman Dmitri? Hearing words attest to his strength, but not facts I have personally confirmed. If even the slightest exaggeration is added, the Ulsan government may face the worst possible outcome.’
I was nervous.
I was anxious.
I couldn’t do anything with my eyes fixed on the phone.
I was laughing at myself.
It would take at least a few days to solve the problem in Ulsan, but he did not have a platform to wait in peace.
Maybe an hour passed.
Suddenly the phone rang.
Tiri-ri-ri.
‘It’s still too early. He must have contacted me about another matter.’
I put my mind down.
There was no way it would have done anything special already.
however.
The voice that had told me the devastating news just now conveyed the situation in a voice filled with joy.
[Mayor! You just succeeded in recapturing a defense point! All of this is thanks to Incheon’s support. Only two appeared through teleport magic and wiped out all the monsters attacking the defense base. The mayor’s choice was correct. These monsters are strong enough to stand against the central government!]
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
Lee Myung-hwan showed a wavering look at the achievement achieved in just an hour.
“… Is this possible?”
I was convinced now.
The rebellion Cha Young-min said.
It no longer felt like an unreal thing.
* * *
Ulsan was just the beginning.
Cha Young-min persuaded local governments one after another, and as success stories increased, local governments also responded positively.
Antipathy to central government.
An unbearable catastrophe.
The power of Roman Dmitri.
It was a combination of triplets.
If the rope that came down from the sky was real, local governments had no reason not to grab hold of it.
However, the plan did not go smoothly.
southern regions.
Areas away from the capital succeeded in convincing them right away, but the situation changed as they headed upwards.
Cha Young-min also warned.
There’s no problem persuading the majority, but I can’t guarantee everything.
just as expected.
[What’s the point now? You dare rebel against the central government?]
Jung Moon-ho, the mayor of Hanam.
Central government officials reacted ferociously.
