We Do Business In Full Auto [EN]: Chapter 183

War Preparation (1)

“Oh, Director Ron. You’re already here?”

“I was too antsy to just sit and wait.”

“I heard you had a project in the works.”

“I canceled it.”

“Oh, really?”

“How could a small project compare to completing a masterpiece like this?”

Director Ron was practically radiating enthusiasm [bordering on obsession].

He was determined to pour his heart and soul into this movie.

Well, I wasn’t complaining.

Either way, it’s good if the movie does well. At least it’s better than losing money. I’ve acquired so many companies that I need to start generating consistent profits.

I expanded indiscriminately, but I still need to generate profits. That goes for 20th Century Fox as well.

Writer George also greeted me.

“Hello.”

“Writer, you’re here too. The two of you should work together to make a great movie.”

“Of course!”

George was the same.

He spoke like someone possessed, because he was crazy about the movie.

You couldn’t exude this kind of energy without being crazy.

I rode with them in the car.

Saying it’s 100,000 *pyeong* [approximately 81 acres] is one thing, but you could never see it all in one day on foot.

Of course, it would take all day even by car, so we decided to only visit the important locations.

The crowning glory of this set.

When we arrived at the training grounds, succubi and high-ranking demons were instructing the undead as drill sergeants.

Since the weapons and armor hadn’t arrived yet, they trained with roughly made spears, shields, and swords.

“Thrust!”

Clang! Clang!

The iron scarecrows were smashed to pieces.

Ron and George watched the scene and clicked their tongues.

“Is this… alright?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s almost military training. I’m worried someone might misunderstand.”

“Hahaha! It’s fine.”

If I hadn’t crushed the United States, this would definitely be a problem.

It was only natural to suspect impure intentions when training 100,000 androids.

They would cross over to the other world as soon as the gate opened, and 100,000 androids were being created separately.

Their training would probably be over before the set was completed.

After filming the movie, I could push 100,000 troops into the other world. I planned to keep pushing them into the other world like that.

That’s why the black magicians were looking forward to it.

But even after my explanation, Director Ron still looked worried.

“I don’t think the U.S. will just sit still…”

“I guarantee it. The U.S. approved this, so nothing will happen.”

“Hmm.”

Of course, I didn’t say how I got the approval.

CIA Headquarters.

Director Katherine was listening to urgent news from Korea.

“Director! Chairman Lee Yoosung has begun raising an army of 100,000!”

“Weapons and armor are being produced not only in Korea but all over the world!”

“There’s definitely an impure motive.”

“Let it be.”

“Yes? Director. What if they invade the mainland…”

“It’s just part of the movie shoot, and the President has approved it.”

“…!”

The special agents looked at Katherine with incomprehension.

But the CIA itself was similar to the military. Since it was based on the principle of top-down command, disobeying a superior’s orders or judgment was out of the question.

Of course, sometimes orders could be reversed depending on the agent’s judgment in the field, but this was headquarters.

Since it wasn’t the field, Katherine’s orders were absolute.

“Then should we stop monitoring?”

“We still need to monitor with satellites.”

“Monitoring with satellites only…”

“Don’t go causing trouble over there and pull the agents out immediately.”

Katherine gave the order expressionlessly.

The agents obeyed without complaint because the President had approved it, but their expressions were full of questions about what was going on.

‘It can’t be helped.’

If she gave an order to betray Chairman Lee Yoosung here, her heart would explode and she would die.

Just thinking about betraying him made her heart clench and feel like she would die, but to actually betray him?

The moment she did that would be the day Katherine died.

“Hoo. But what is he going to do with that force? Is he perhaps going to march north and unify the peninsula?”

Chairman Lee Yoosung had clearly said that unification was not the goal.

But looking at what he was doing now, it seemed like he could march north and still have forces left over.

I spent the morning in Paju.

Since this was the biggest project on earth being carried out in such a large space, there were many things that required my approval.

I naturally invested money without holding back.

This place needs to be a permanent military training ground in the long run. So it needs to be built well from the start.

And once it’s completed, a significant portion of medieval movies will be filmed here.

Just renting out the set would generate a considerable profit, so we had to recreate the look of medieval Western Europe as much as possible.

And now it was time to return to Seoul.

We decided to have lunch in Seoul.

“Are you leaving already?”

“I have to. I think I’ve done everything I need to do in Paju.”

“Wow, I’m really amazed. You’re really building facilities of this scale!”

“I know, right!”

The director and writer were going crazy as a set [acting as a pair].

If they were like this in front of me, they would be screaming and making a fuss normally.

If that led to a good work, I had no reason to stop them.

“Well, then, keep up the good work.”

“Safe travels!”

I boarded the helicopter with Lee Seulgi.

I had come to Paju by car, but to get through all of today’s schedule, even traveling by helicopter wasn’t enough.

Thud, thud, thud!

The helicopter took off after I got in.

Ziiing!

And the phone rang.

I saw that it was Han Yooram calling.

“Hey, what’s up?”

-Chairman! They finally found the Seun Line!

The Indian Ocean off the coast of the Maldives.

Long ago, it was under Dutch rule, and in the late 19th century, it was incorporated into British-protected Sri Lanka as a colony.

So, at one time, the Maldives were also under British protection.

It was located just south of India, and it was possible that the Seun Line could have sunk in this area.

The Maldives archipelago consisted of numerous islands, and there were also many areas with reefs.

Given the complex underwater structure, it was understandable that the Seun Line had not been discovered for so long if it had sunk in this area.

Even so, Baren, the leader of the expedition team, looked like he couldn’t understand it at all.

It was strange that it had sunk in this area as soon as it departed from India, and he thought that if it had sunk, it would have been discovered by now.

All of this was made possible by a small exploration vessel.

A beautiful woman named Seren was on board and became the object of envy for many sailors.

Of course, it wasn’t that there were no women in the expedition team, including geologists, but none were as overwhelmingly beautiful as Seren.

She ignored the opinions of the geologists and actively argued that the terrain here was suspicious.

Perhaps if another woman had actively recommended this place, it might have been neatly ignored.

Ziiiiing!

A loud noise was coming from the lifting equipment.

Several salvage ships were carefully lifting the wreckage, but in fact, this also didn’t make sense.

It was said to be some kind of science, and some of the divers on board were using strange machines to assist.

Thanks to that, they were easily salvaging the wreckage.

Whoosh!

“Wow!”

Gold bars poured onto the floor.

It was a truly enormous amount, and since it was the tax revenue from all of India being transported, it was clearly beyond imagination.

In addition, numerous boxes were also being salvaged.

The current situation was all being filmed and would be broadcast around the world.

Thump!

Old boxes were pulled up, and when they were opened, surprisingly, the contents were being maintained in perfect condition.

“T, this is!?”

“What is it?”

“U, unregistered bonds! Spanish bonds!”

“There are British bonds too!”

“This is an American bond!”

Unregistered bonds were coming out in droves.

Not only that, but artifacts that could not be dated were also being excavated, and the fact that they were almost intact was a miracle.

‘This is kind of strange?’

It was definitely the Seun Line, but could so many unregistered bonds from the 19th century be found like this?

The bonds came out in bundles, and there were also a considerable number of artifacts.

I couldn’t even guess how much it would all be worth if it were sold off.

I wondered if England would cause trouble.

But this is not the end.

Chiiik!

-Team leader! A treasure ship has been discovered 26km off the southern coast of the Maldives!

“A treasure ship!?”

-Yes! The detector developed by Chairman Lee Yoosung detected it!

“Heh.”

This is just the beginning.

Several treasure ships were being discovered in clusters nearby.

I couldn’t believe this was happening.

He used to go treasure hunting a long time ago.

But treasure ships were almost like lottery tickets in the sea. They weren’t that easy to find.

A beautiful woman named Seren said.

“Why are you so surprised? This is just the beginning.”

“Just the beginning…”

Treasure ships being discovered in droves not long after starting the voyage.

Is this really reality?

“You should report it, right?”

“Ah, yes. I should.”

Baren called Chairman Lee Yoosung.

The video being sent from the salvage ship was being saved in real time.

Lee Seulgi received this video and immediately released it to the press, and as a result, a huge number of people were gathering in front of the company.

The fact that treasure ships, along with the Seun Line, and several sunken ships were being discovered in droves was a big issue in itself.

Even if only one treasure ship was discovered, the attention of the whole world would be focused on it.

People were enthusiastic about such amazing things. But what if, on top of that, they were being discovered in droves?

It was only natural for people to be interested.

-……Thus, a total of 10 treasure ships were salvaged!

“Thank you for your hard work. You will be rewarded accordingly.”

-It was all thanks to the Chairman’s detector!

“Still, you should be rewarded. You can look forward to it.”

-Thank you!

I ended the call with Baren.

Lee Seulgi, who was next to me, asked.

“Is it going according to plan?”
