We Do Business In Full Auto [EN]: Chapter 195

195.

Reconnaissance (1)

Early morning.

As soon as the sun rose, people began their daily routines.

Ruyan County was expected to garrison about 2,000 undead. If anything happened, they would immediately use magical communication to alert the main force to eliminate the enemies.

The territory residents, confident in the power of our army, known as the Heavenly Army, weren’t particularly worried. They started their daily lives as usual, knowing that reinforcements would arrive instantly through the gate.

Calvene clicked his tongue as he watched the territory residents.

“Their mental fortitude is remarkable.”

“Indeed. It’s a kind of resilience rarely seen on Earth.”

“There are so many volunteers that we accepted 20,000 more. The Ruyan territory army now numbers 50,000.”

“If we march like this, could it reach hundreds of thousands while sweeping away the enemies?”

“It seems so.”

Consolidating power not from the imperial center but from the outskirts.

Once that power is refined and a perfect defense line is established, the imperial palace will have no way to interfere.

If they order the disbandment of the army, we can use that as an excuse to advance. There were many other justifications we could use.

“What’s the imperial palace’s reaction? I heard there’s a communication device here.”

“I’m not sure. The rumors haven’t spread widely yet.”

“I see.”

It seemed it would take some time for the rumors to spread.

A magical communication device would be a relic from the Magic Empire era, likely the exclusive property of nobles. If the nobles control the information, rumors will inevitably spread slowly.

Of course, there was an alternative.

I summoned a high-ranking demon and gave him a mission.

“Did you call for me?”

“I want you to travel around the empire and spread the rumor that the Heavenly Army descended from the sky.”

“Should I disguise myself as a minstrel?”

“That’s a good idea too.”

As expected, high-ranking demons and succubi possessed excellent intelligence. Their intelligence was more developed than vampires, and they showed work processing abilities on par with geniuses.

“Go.”

“Yes!”

Swoosh!

He disappeared.

Information warfare was a crucial operation, regardless of whether it was modern or ancient times.

We needed to spread rumors about the Heavenly Army and sway public opinion in the empire, encouraging the idea that the Heavenly Army should establish a new country.

“You will lead the army.”

“Are you going to Earth, Master?”

“Yes. I need to go and bring back fighter jets or helicopters.”

“You’ll probably have to go through the government. We need military helicopters.”

“Hmm. What would happen if we tried bombing?”

“Bombing?”

“I’m not talking about cold weapons, but gunpowder weapons.”

“Low-level undead can be neutralized by bombing, but it won’t work on mid-level undead. They have their own shields.”

“Still, it would be easier if we brought in weapons, right?”

“That is true.”

However, the government would notice if we acquired such weapons.

Perhaps I should negotiate with the president to deploy modern troops here.

‘No. If I did that, the whole world would rush in, and our share would decrease.’

I made up my mind.

I would endure any misunderstandings and resolve the issue with my own army, not the government.

Even if modern military weapons were introduced, the undead could easily use them with just a little training.

“Then give the orders. I will go to Korea and bring back helicopters and some weapons.”

“Yes, Master.”

I was practically leading the legion and was called an archangel, the leader of the Heavenly Army, a prophet, or a messenger of God.

The leader of the Heavenly Army was shortened to just Heavenly Army, and although I put forward the name Yoo Sung, it wasn’t well observed.

The same was true for Ruyan.

“Oh, Heavenly Army!”

“Well. I need to visit the place where I used to live for a while.”

“You’re going to the Heavenly Realm!”

“Not the Heavenly Realm, but anyway, I’ll be away for a while. In the meantime, my subordinate here will command the army.”

“Indeed.”

I called Calvene, who was clearly an old man, my subordinate, and those old mages treated me with such respect, truly seeing me as the Heavenly Army.

“I’ll bring in some reconnaissance equipment, so head to Arden County as planned.”

“Yes! We’ll be waiting!”

Once I went to Korea, I had to act quickly.

One day in Korea is a week here.

In a week, they would reach Arden County, so I had to finish my work and return within a day if possible.

“Then.”

I opened a gate nearby.

Many people gathered to watch.

Buzzing!

“Is that a gate that allows instant movement?”

“That’s right. The Heavenly Army can teleport.”

“Indeed, Vivian sent down an extraordinary warrior.”

I listened to the territory residents who firmly believed I was the Heavenly Army and immediately moved to Earth.

When I arrived home, it was dusk, and darkness had fallen.

I had returned in half a day.

As I went up to the mansion, my family looked puzzled.

“You’re back so soon.”

“Time flows differently here.”

“Dad!”

Soo-jung and Soo-ah ran and hugged me.

It felt like I had gone to work and returned home. But there was a slight sense of disconnect because of the time difference.

I had clearly spent quite a bit of time on the Karen Continent, but in reality, not much time had passed on Earth.

I washed up, had dinner, and played with the children as if I had come home from work.

At 8 o’clock, Soo-ah fell asleep, and Soo-jung, my wife, Lisa, and I gathered in the master bedroom.

“You’re here to bring back helicopters or fighter jets?”

“Yes. To use for reconnaissance.”

“Then you’ll have to take them for military use, but I don’t know if the government will accept that.”

“What can I do? I’ll have to threaten them.”

I would threaten to reduce the number of androids if the government didn’t give them to me.

Androids were quite important to the Korean government, and if they didn’t buy them from the Soo Group, they would fall behind in the competition with other countries.

So there was no reason for the president to refuse.

Soo-jung’s eyes sparkled.

“Dad, I think Soo-jung can go now too. It doesn’t sound that dangerous from what you’re saying?”

“Well.”

“It’s okay if I don’t participate in direct combat, right?”

I looked at my wife.

Lisa sighed. Soo-jung must have been nagging her all day.

“Soo-jung will be a strategist!”

“Daughter, even so, that’s…”

“You said there’s plenty of mana there? Then if Soo-jung goes there, I can immediately reach the 5th Circle! If I go to the Amon County where many people died!”

“It’s still dangerous.”

“Please! Soo-jung will wear armor too!”

“Wear armor?”

“I already made it!”

“Huh. You even made it?”

“I sold your name a bit.”

What should I do?

If Soo-jung goes with me, she will definitely come up with good strategies. She’s good enough to be a strategist.

However, I didn’t really want to bring my young daughter to the battlefield.

“If we’re as careful as possible…”

“Yes!”

“Without taking off the armor.”

“Of course!”

“I guess I have no choice.”

My wife didn’t say much, so she must have been quite tormented.

Certainly, if Soo-jung reached the 5th Circle, there would be no enemies to threaten her. However, I had no choice but to put restrictions on her.

“If you can’t reach the 5th Circle in Amon County, you’re coming back?”

“Yes! Yes!”

Soo-jung cheered.

However, my wife said with some concern.

“Is it really okay?”

“We can send Soo-jung back if she can’t reach the 5th Circle. And if the main base becomes dangerous, we can immediately take her and escape, so there’s practically no chance of Soo-jung getting hurt… But can this child endure the horrors of war?”

“What are you talking about? Soo-jung’s mind has surpassed that of a child!”

“Ah, that’s true.”

I had to admit it.

Soo-jung’s mind had already surpassed that of an adult for a long time.

“Let’s go with the idea of going to see the sights.”

“Yes!”

Soo-jung was jumping up and down, not knowing what to do.

A hint of regret flashed across my wife’s face. Did she want to go too?

“I’ll take you too when things settle down a bit.”

“Promise?”

“Ah, yeah.”

As expected, our family was outside the normal range.

I could fully understand the desire of black mages to reach the source of black magic. In that sense, my wife’s patience was beyond imagination.

The next morning.

Since I had time until this evening anyway, I slept at home for a day and moved.

Soo-jung decided to go to school today and move together from the evening.

Since it was elementary school, I could get a few days off by vaguely saying we were going on a family trip. A few days on Earth would be about a month on the Karen Continent, so I thought Soo-jung’s curiosity would be sufficiently satisfied.

I had told Lee Seul-gi yesterday, so she came to the mansion early in the morning.

“Chairman! You’re here.”

“I came for a while. To take the helicopters.”

“That’s great. Please just approve the budget execution.”

“Can’t you handle that yourself?”

“How can I execute trillions of won on my own? I need the chairman’s approval.”

Immediately, paperwork.

I sat down for a while and did paperwork for about 30 minutes.

When the work was finished, Lee Seul-gi said.

“We received a call from the Blue House [the executive office and official residence of the South Korean president].”

“Already?”

“They contacted the President to meet, and he immediately accepted. I could feel the power again.”

This was the power of money.

Since the United States and Russia couldn’t do anything to me, the President seemed to have decided to treat me favorably rather than antagonistically.

Now that the paperwork was done, I decided to move slowly.

While heading to the Blue House, there were a few things I needed to check.

“Are there any obstacles to the business?”

“Not at all. However, so many companies have been acquired that it will take time to integrate them.”

“Can’t you handle that yourself?”

“You’re really trying to get everything for free.”

Lee Seul-gi smiled bitterly.

Was the workload too heavy?

In fact, Lee Seul-gi was eager to go to the new world. It was natural to be interested in other dimensions, even if she wasn’t a black mage.

“How is the training for the new troops going?”

“It’s progressing steadily.”

“Armament?”

“Well, I think the armament of the remaining 50,000 will be completed around tomorrow.”

“Good. Then I’ll open the gate tomorrow and take them.”

The preparations were progressing steadily.

While I was talking to Lee Seul-gi about various things, I arrived at the Blue House.

The Chief of Staff from the Blue House came out to meet me. The Chief of Staff to the President was practically the real power.

He was also the Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs and could be said to be the President’s chief of staff.

Chief of Staff Oh Kwan-joong greeted me.

“Welcome! I received your call and have been waiting!”

“I’m honored. The Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs has come out to greet me.”

“Hahaha! It’s only natural that I come out to greet the world’s best entrepreneur.”

Oh Kwan-joong and I walked to the President’s office.

While the bodyguards were providing airtight security, he casually asked.

“The President is quite 기대 [expecting]. Do you mind if I ask the reason for your visit?”

“Ah, yes. I’m here to receive some military assistance.”
