{ historical event 1 }

It is a spacious office with an oval shape.

On one side of the wall, there are three long, high-perforated windows, and in front of them is a large desk that looks old-fashioned.

And now, in that space, there was only one man sitting with his hips on the desk, looking out the window over the desk.

white haired old man.

He looks old enough to deserve to be called an old man, and whether he is taking good care of his health, he has a slim body and a straight posture.

Even at this moment when he was alone, the way he was wearing a tie or a suit was as if he was showing his disposition.

Startle

He was thinking about something for a long time with his arms folded as if he had any concerns, then he swished to the right and looked back as if he had suddenly felt something.

‘… … ‘

However, the door was just shut as tightly as before, and I looked around a bit more to see if there was nothing in sight.

After the former chief of staff came to collect the payment and left the documents on the desk, I was obviously the only one in this room.

‘… Am I oversensitive?’

The man puts his hand behind his neck and tilts his head back wide once.

‘I have to… There must be a lot of people who want me to die, right?’

But how could such a thing happen here now?

The reason I feel this way is probably because the subject in my head is heavy.

A man who turned his head once as if trying to shake off the faces that were passing through his head at first glance.

He lifted his hips off the desk, stood up, and straightened his posture.

Those who know him will know what this man’s behavior means.

that you have made a decision.

You think over and over again until you make a decision on something important, but once you make a decision, you push forward without hesitation.

‘In the future, people who want to kill me… It’s really going to be too many… .’

Until now, it must have been only the enemies or those who suffered great damage because of their policies.

However, most of them aren’t even people to the point of wanting to kill me, so after narrowing it down, I’d like to know how many there are.

However… If there is a war.

WAR.

I am a person too.

I really didn’t want to start a war.

Those tenacious and tenacious lobbies that have been pouring in from military companies.

And the pressures from all sides have been countless, but they have never allowed it.

‘Is it too long?’

okay.

The peace has been too long.

To the point where the military companies can’t stand it any longer.

Fortunately, since countries around the world have continued to intensify the arms race, they have sold quite a few weapons, so they must have endured it for this long.

The transition to a new weapons system, and the strained relationship with China that followed Russia.

Had it not been for that situation, we would not have survived this long without war.

But even so, how does it compare to a war from their point of view?

This space that I had to look around once again with a cold feeling for some reason.

Portraits hanging on the wall.

Those faces seem to be staring at them now.

What kind of decisions do I make?

whether it is reasonable

The man pulled out a chair that had been pushed to one side and sat down.

William’s words crossed my mind.

[You must go to war, not necessarily because of their organized lobbying or pressure. Weapons, related technologies, and science advance through war. All of the weapons that have been developed and the technologies that are currently being researched and developed must all be tested in practice. That way, you can focus on electrification effectively and stably. China and Russia are chasing after them. Just because we’re spending a lot of money on defense, as we’ve done so far, is absolutely not a situation we can be relieved of. now… Once again, you definitely need to widen the gap. So sure enough, at least for the time being, they wouldn’t even dare to take the place of America. We need to give carrots to military companies and create conditions for them to lead. If we just start a war, we’ll get their full support and the approval rating will go up. After war, the people naturally unite. Then, most of the national agendas that have been sluggish in agreement in the parliament can be easily pushed with high approval ratings.]

The man opened the settlement board.

Documents that require your autograph.

‘Also… Is it the Middle East… ‘

Read at readwn.com

Vast desert.

the land of fiery.

It is a harsh environment for humans to live in.

But what they have is a gift from God, oil.

‘… Did God really give it to you?’

The Middle East is where the fire of telephones has not ceased for the past century just because of having a treasure.

A place where the world powers have played in their hands.

Just because there is a God-given gift, do the people of the Middle East fully enjoy it?

‘no… ‘

Not at all from my point of view.

It has a proper meaning only to those who have the power to protect the treasure.

Otherwise, it becomes a curse that harms those who have it and takes their lives.

That’s why I personally feel pity for people in the Middle East.

However… It is also the least burdensome place to start a war.

This is because the situation is always unstable and the conflict within the region that has been fostered for a long time is that deep.

prone to war

And it’s easy to avoid backlash.

Best of all, you don’t have to worry about the spark of a phone going to the United States or a major ally.

The man who picked up the fountain pen on the other hand paused for a moment and sighed once more.

Eyes that close spontaneously.

Although he has made a decision in his heart, he is well aware of how harsh this decision will be for ordinary people living there.

What comes to mind, which has been closed again, is William’s confident expression.

[All this is for America. just now. If not now, the arrows will come back to us several times later. The mainland of the United States could be attacked and the fires of the phone could burn the United States. Hi, do you want that?]

‘… God… don’t forgive me… ‘

It is often said that this position can be filled even with a double IQ.

How many movies or TV shows have portrayed this place like a fool?

But now I’m sitting… This desk with the payment board spread out.

Resolute Desk.

‘Would it have been better if I had been a fool?’

After a while, as if he had shaken off his afflictions, the man opened his eyes.

And just then.

‘… yes?’

When the man felt something under his head, his vision suddenly flickered.

And at the same time, the bloody curtain that wets my eyes.

‘Ahhh… .’

It’s like seeing a naked picture of the future that will happen in the future.

touk

With that sound, the world, which had been spinning so frantically that I could hardly recognize it, stopped for a moment.

And the man’s consciousness completely disappeared.

* * *

“Come in, Vice-President, come in! Call all the Chief of Staff and gather them all! Right now!”

A man approached the chief of staff with a quick pace to the chief of staff who was giving orders in a loud voice on the phone.

When the chief of staff turned and looked at him, it was the Director of the US Secret Service with a white face.

The chief of staff, who immediately hung up the phone, asked him in an urgent tone.

“Have you checked the CCTV footage?”

The head of the Secret Service nodded with a serious face.

It is clear that the meaning is confirmed.

But whether it’s because of his mood or what, the katabuta explanation doesn’t come out clearly from him.

‘… What are we going to do now… ‘

Still, there is no way the tone will come out nicely in a situation where blood pressure rises as soon as it goes up.

“Director! Why are you silent! What did you find?”

“… let’s see it first.”

Is it difficult to convey properly in words?

Trying to suppress the rising anger that there must be some reason, the chief of staff looked at the tablet screen that he suddenly held out.

A view of The Oval Office is visible.

Putting the payment documents down on the desk and leaving the room is definitely what I was before.

After that, the president, who is left alone, sits at his desk for a long time as if he has a lot of trouble.

After watching for quite some time, when the scene does not change, the chief of staff, who is only in a hurry, raises his head and looks at the head of the Secret Service.

What are you doing while holding the tablet still and not even thinking about adjusting the speed of the video?

But even though he must have clearly read his gaze and its meaning, he was just staring at the video with a firm expression on his face.

‘… What the hell… ‘

A change is soon seen in the eyes of the chief of the secretary, who was forced to look at the video again.

The president gets up from his seat, adjusts his posture and sits down.

As if to sign, he opens the payment documents and raises a fountain pen, sighing for a moment and closing his eyes.

And after a while, the president opens his eyes,

“100 million!”

The chief of staff, who vomited out a huge amount of security, opened his eyes wide and looked at the screen as if he could not believe it at all.

Then, he turned his head to the head of the Secret Service and tried to open his mouth, which was not easy to open.

“Hey, this… do, the hell…”

The Secret Service chief shook his head slowly.

“…I don’t know. This is the video as it stands on the record.”

“Turn back. Again!”

The president sighs and closes his eyes.

and

‘100 million… !’

Even looking at it again, it seems like the guards will burst out again.

Clearly nothing, the president’s head is cut from his neck and floats in the air in an instant.

Then he falls to the carpet in front of his desk and rolls around.

Blood gushed like a fountain from the severed neck, and the president’s upper body fell on the desk.

The desk and the carpet in front of it were a mess with his blood.

‘Hey, what the hell is this… ‘

No matter how much I shook my head, I couldn’t even imagine what had happened.

Then a sudden thought.

‘… Fake video?’

The chief of staff looked at the head of the Secret Service and asked.

“Possibility of manipulation?”

“It’s not very likely… but we are considering the scope of the investigation. First, we have controlled all internal networks.

After clearing his throat for a moment, he continued.

“…We also blocked all access to the White House. We have ordered the FBI, the CIA, and the police to secure new recruits for all personnel who have recently entered the White House. The entire Secret Service is being investigated, not just the agents in the security. .”

Then the chief of staff nodded once as if he was pleased with his report.

The Secret Service has powerful powers with the strongest investigative powers for its purpose.

Moreover, the work is also independent and closed.

Of course, it is made up of only the best resources selected by strict criteria, so it should be the best bodyguard in the world, but the reality is not so.

Do dead people rot?

Having enjoyed a great power in an environment free from external interference and having a long history, various problems such as sexual harassment, racism, and drinking deviance continued to erupt non-stop.

It is truly an unacceptable discipline problem.

Efforts to reform the Secret Service have been made several times, but each time has not been successful.

However, the current head of the Secret Service was the one that the chief of staff made up his mind to and recommended as the new head in the wake of the problem that erupted once again.

In order to properly revamp the organization.

Ignoring many objections that he was inexperienced in the White House and presidential security missions, that he was not an insider, he pushed hard and made him head of state.

As such, he clearly understands his thoughts and intentions toward the Secret Service.

Perhaps this fake video was done inside the Secret Service to protect their power.

‘these guys… Then do it right or do it right… .’

Even if not, the Secret Service will never be free from responsibility as long as the president is dead.

buzzing buzzing

At that moment, the secretary’s phone rang.

The chief of staff checked the caller and hung up without answering the call.

Now was not the time to take a leisurely phone call.

buzzing buzzing buzzing

But soon the phone rings again.

The chief secretary’s eyebrows twitched as he pulled out his phone and checked it.

It was because the caller of the call that was just hung up was dialing again.

The chief of staff, who was about to hang up the phone again with soaring anger, had a sudden thought and answered the call.

If it’s clear that you cut it off right away, but it’s enough to put it back on right away, maybe it’s because the matter is so important.

“Chief Secretary!”

It’s an urgent voice.

“What’s going on?”

You must have felt uncomfortable in your own tone, but the other person’s voice goes straight on without any regard for it.

“President, are you okay?”

“…what the hell kind of bullshit is that?”

No one knows that the president has had an affair.

A situation that has just been discovered and the site is under strict control.

I didn’t even tell the Vice President or the Chief of Staff, who are running right now, what the hell are you talking about?

“…watch TV. A video sent by an organization claiming to assassinate the president of the United States is on the news…”

The chief of staff hurriedly turned on the TV, and soon after, the phone in his hand fell onto the floor carpet.
