When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

At the end of February, a detached house in California, USA.

Walter Grayson, European Director under Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, has returned home after months of absence.

After changing into slippers at the entrance, he first took out the wiretapping detector.

And I went around the room turning on the lights in the house that had been turned off.

The eavesdropping detector scans near electronic devices, furniture, and hard-to-reach places that are easy to eavesdrop.

When the wiretapping detector didn’t respond, only the green LCD lamp flickered, Walter came out into the living room and buried himself on the sofa.

“after… … .”

His face hardened as he sighed.

It was unpleasant to be given paid leave due to mismanagement discovered in an audit, but it wasn’t just because of it.

It was because of Robert, the Director of External Affairs.

I still didn’t know why or how he stamped me.

I tried to find out, but nothing came out.

In addition, he even attached a person to watch himself.

precisely surveillance.

Even now, I was followed on the way.

To be exact, I had seen the same car model three or more times, but it couldn’t have been a coincidence. It was clear to track.

So as soon as I arrived, I checked all over the house with wiretapping detectors.

Fortunately, there was nothing, but it was nothing to worry about.

It was because there was a high possibility that there would be people who would observe this house with the naked eye as much as they followed.

If you were really unlucky, there was a high probability that your every move would be monitored.

Of course, it would have been done at Robert’s direction.

It will also belong to the Foreign Cooperation Bureau.

I didn’t check it, but I could guess that enough.

Because that’s what happened back then.

These were very irritating things.

All sorts of problems piled up, but one really big thing remained.

Walter’s mission.

I wasn’t talking about the daily routine of being a US State Department official.

It had to do with his beliefs.

‘… It won’t be easy to perform the boss now.’

Like Sergei, Walter was following only one man’s orders.

Pical.

It has become difficult to properly assist him as he dreams of globalization or a revolution that will lead to destruction.

Even Sergei, who was carrying out Pikal’s field mission at the forefront, died.

Since he, who used to be his left arm and head, is now trapped inside the house, it will be more difficult to carry out the revolution.

‘If he hadn’t died so stupidly, this situation would have gone well… … .’

His eyebrows twitched.

It was because Walter also vividly remembered the day Sergei died.

They didn’t interact much with each other, but it was even more shocking because they were colleagues who dedicated their lives to the cause of Pikal.

Above all, Sergei was not a person who would die easily. He was an excellent soldier.

He was not a man who would die in vain for not wearing a seat belt, but a man who could die bravely on the battlefield.

But Kang-tae suddenly appeared and messed things up.

Walter tried his best to stop such an assault, but it was the current situation that Robert suddenly jumped out and blocked it.

In addition, he found himself guilty of poor management, and even caught minor mistakes such as negligence of low-level employees and excessive claims of benefits.

Of course, that wasn’t what he wanted.

Since they brought the audit team all the way to Switzerland, they must have wanted something like terrorism.

‘I’m glad it didn’t come out that far… … ?’

Walter judged the current situation as he let go of his irritation and anger.

Sergei would die, he would be immobilized, and his other shields would be sacrificed, but Pikal was still unrevealed anyway.

That was as important as Walter’s life.

Also, no one was going to bring up Pikal’s name.

The other limbs under Pikal’s command were also people with considerable faith, if not as much ability.

Perhaps Sergeina would have filled the vacant spot and moved instead.

Of course, the progress of the cause will not be carried out smoothly because it is less than himself, but it was fortunate that it did not stop.

More than anything, Walter trusted Pikal.

A descendant of medieval European royalty, enormous wealth, sociable conversational skills, likable looks, and clear convictions.

He was the perfect man, the chosen one.

Although the process is a bit shaky, it will achieve its goal in the end.

‘In the end, the revolution will reach the whole world.’

As he made up his mind, he was about to take out a PDA that went through an encrypted line to report the current situation.

The variable I was missing came to mind.

Kang Tae.

‘Damn the Asian monkey… … !’

After all, he was just a field agent, but his ability was truly superhuman.

Because he wiped out Sergei’s team, whom Walter also trusted.

Of course, Sergei’s death was stupid, but he couldn’t belittle Kang Tae, who killed him.

Thanks to his thorough understanding, Walter knew his skills well.

‘If he leaves America… Then it will be really easy to kill.’

Of course, Sergei, who could have killed Kang-tae, died right away, and he didn’t know where Kang-tae was going, but if it was Pikal, he’d make his own decision after receiving this report.

Because he was such a great man.

In time, Walter began entering the password into the PDA he would last use and throw away.

“Let’s go here. I will sign it.”

Kang Tae, who confirmed a house for sale in Virginia, signed the contract with a real estate agent.

And the construction was also requested on the same day.

Remodeling and upgrading.

In addition to a simple interior change, security was strengthened, and the interior and exterior walls made of wood or panels were asked to be changed so that they could not be penetrated by a 50-caliber heavy machine gun.

Same with the garage.

In addition, the basement was requested to be remodeled into a kind of panic room and bunker that is immune to biochemical attacks such as IED (Improvised Explosive Device) or gas.

In addition, I handed over a detailed list that I had prepared.

And before the construction manager even panicked, he said as if he was a player.

“It’s okay to scrap everything and build a new one, so just do it with the best ones. Money doesn’t matter. Go get the card machine and I’ll pay in advance.”

The other party was a company that signed contracts with the military and sold houses and even bunkers that could withstand hurricanes to the private sector.

I had been looking into it from a long time ago and prepared in advance, but the timing was just right.

A situation where he was attacked twice with a gun, which was reported as a highway robbery.

I had to have a sturdy house to live in.

The same goes for the car you have to drive.

So, I bought two used SUVs of B6 grade (a level that protects against 7.62mm bullets and grenades) that were used by the US Army and the UN, and put them in a car repair shop to fix everything.

It is scheduled to be shipped after maintenance in two days, and the guns and ammunition I ordered were supposed to be received this week.

Spare weapons to keep at home and in vehicles.

In this way, as an American citizen, I prepared to settle down step by step, and at the same time, I was prepared to leave.

It was to buy necessary household items and military equipment, and it was no less difficult.

everything was easy

Of course, that’s what progress is, and I was worried in many ways because I didn’t know how it was going on overall.

Two names in particular that came up to me, Walter and Pichal.

‘It takes a while for Robert not to catch Walter… Still, they are punished and monitored, so… … . Now, the Pikal side should have figured out a little bit, but how far did Robert have to figure it out… … .’

I was worried in my heart.

It wasn’t because I distrusted Robert.

Although he made one mistake, he was competent enough.

His opponent, Walter, was just not satisfied.

What I regret is that what I can know is a limited reality.

It’s fortunate that I joined the Foreign Cooperation Bureau earlier than planned, but I still had to guess about other things. Also, I had no choice but to focus on the work given to me.

More than anything, I was even more disappointed that I didn’t know anything about Pikal.

If he knew the place of residence, the research institute, or the hideout, he would close his eyes and tell them, but all he knew was his simple personal life and sophistry-like beliefs.

By the time you regret that thought.

I got a call from Lily Morgan, my External Relations Department employee, who I was waiting for.

– Mr. Lee! How are you feeling?

“It’s been a while since I’ve gotten better.”

-It’s fortunate, I contacted you after the operation was completed.

“Tell me, what is going on?”

I was still waiting

The day after tomorrow, it was already March.

About two weeks after the shooting took place.

Fortunately, there were no other attacks in the meantime, but I didn’t receive any related contact either.

I just wait while doing my job.

While waiting for her words, the plan for the operation quickly came over the cell phone.

-G&G signed a contract with the military of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It includes training soldiers, conducting reconnaissance missions, and sometimes escorting diplomats.

“… Congo?”

I asked, but it wasn’t because I was surprised.

There was a great feeling of happiness.

It was because Congo was one of the few African countries to appear in Lareple.

What is involved is the link between the traitor and Pikal inside G&G Corp.

As soon as I thought about it, Lily Morgan’s voice continued as if giving an answer.

– Yes, it’s Congo. The director said, “Tell me that this is the area you found out thanks to Mr. Lee’s hint,” is that correct?

I laughed out loud when I heard Lily imitate a thick male voice.

It wasn’t because she was funny.

Fortunately, Robert was happy that he got a hint from Pikal’s name and even found out the area.

‘Yes, this man is also a capable man.’

This was timing much earlier than the game, like when Sergei died.

The Africa region was a map that opened in the mid-to-late game.

There’s probably quite a bit of evidence to be gained.

He answered before it was too late.

“Yes, tell the Director that you have suffered… Can I follow the company schedule for the rest?”

-That’s right, but… Maybe the situation in Congo is not good, so I will have to check the situation first after arriving. Flights are complicated, and picking up weapons will take some time. Maybe I’ll have to use a locally procured firearm for a day or two.

“All right. And are there more?”

-G&G will contact you about the official mission delivery… … .

Lily’s voice, which had been hesitant for a moment, continued, but it seemed to be wet.

-Don’t get hurt, come back safe and sound. The next time you contact us, consider it a successful operation… I hope you contact me with good things.

“I see.”

I only answered briefly.

It was because I knew to some extent that the situation in Congo was not good, as she said.

The level of difficulty is much more severe than that of Al-Zamash, and similar or severe to that of Camarnia.

I don’t know if Pikal’s men were there, but even if they weren’t there, I couldn’t take it lightly. It was because in Congo, the rebels often used armored vehicles and tanks stolen from the regular army.

So, while I hung up the phone and made up my mind.

A phone call came in.

It was a matter of contacting G&G Corp for returning from vacation and relocating the workplace that Lily had mentioned.

As I heard beforehand, the place to go was the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the middle of Africa.
