21st century Goguryeo-Chapter 466 - Season 2 Book 19 New Chinas Participation in War - 2-2 Assassination

January 01, 2024, 04:25 (New China time: 03:25)

Zone 15, Industrial Park, Beician District, Tianjin City, New China (inside the Hisan factory)

“What is it?”

While looking for a plasma-related research facility, Chief Park Gi-oong, who thought it was a secret laboratory, was surprised and was smiling ear to ear when he entered the factory that had a large manufacturing facility slightly smaller than a soccer field.

Inside the factory, about 20 large missiles were each placed on a frame, and something was mounted on it with the top fairing open. At first glance, it looked like a warhead. However, the size of the warhead was very small compared to the size of the missile. Chief Park Gi-oong, who thought something was suspicious, immediately had a thought come to mind.

<These are not the nuclear warheads that these f*cking Chinese put in here?>

Chief Park Gi-woong, feeling ominous at the thought, gently shook his head to calm himself down and checked all the missiles in the factory one at a time. A total of eight missiles equipped with warheads thought to be nuclear warheads were empty.

<Um, since the last defeat in the Korean-Chinese War resulted in the abolition of all nuclear weapons, would it have been possible to develop nuclear weapons again? Shoot, what if it is a nuclear warhead or a bomb? We just have to get rid of all of them!>

Chief Park Gi-oong was unaware of the fact that the New China Army had used plasma bombs at the time of the outbreak of the Korean-Chinese War on that day. He went around installing M2-kill bombs one by one on the body of each missile, without even thinking that they could be plasma bombs. However, a problem arose. It had to do with the number of the M2-kill bombs that he had brought.

Chief Park Gi-oong only had a total number of 20 M2-kill bombs in his backpack, which was fewer than the number of missiles in the factory. He then called his teammates through non-voice communication.

“This is Alpha Zero! Does anyone on the Alpha team have enough M2-kill bombs?”

“This is Alpha Four! About six left.”

“This is Alpha Zero! I’ll send you my location information, so come right here! When you come, be careful of the Chinese b*stards who are patrolling the area.”

“This is Alpha Four! Copy that!”

At the time when Chief Park Gi-oong and other agents from the Foreign Intelligence Division 1 Department had installed the M2-kill bombs while looking for facilities related to the research institute, Manager Namgoong-won had been squatting in a darkened office for the past hour trying to unlock the double-encrypted folder. He was sweating.

Despite the low temperature, Manager Namgoong-won’s forehead was filled with thick sweat as that he couldn’t focus on his work. It was perhaps due to the guards who would occasionally patrol the area.

<Please unlock. Unlock!>

Manager Namgoong-won, who had a habit of muttering to himself whenever things were not going his way, was busy mumbling as his fingers typed away on the keyboard.

<Tiding!>

“Yes! Step one solved.”

Namgoong-won, who had only managed to crack the first level code in an hour, clenched his fist and shook it. He then forced himself to focus once again and tapped at his keyboard with rapid hand movements to crack his two-step code.

At this time, a silent communication came from Manager Lee Ja-seong, who was Alpha Zero.

“This is Alpha Zero! Bravo Zero! Are you not done yet? We’re running out of TCS mode battery packs, we need to hurry!”

“This is Bravo Zero! I found the data but the folder has a double encryption password. Phase 1 is now complete. Wait a minute!”

“Manager Namgoong-won! We have, at most, an hour left. If you count the time we need to retreat, it must be done in less than an hour! Understand? Otherwise, TCS mode will be disabled after that!”

“I know. I know it. Don’t tell me! I need to focus!”

“Oh, I see. Hurry up. Over!”

Manager Namgoong-won looked at the screen of the X-K02 terminal on his wrist. The remaining battery pack was marked as 65 percent, which meant it would last about an hour.

<Ah! Even you are not helping!>

After biting his lower lip, Manager Namgoong-won lightly tapped his head with both palms and concentrated on his work again.

20 kilometers outside of Lance Haute-Bienne Limousin, France (in the secret house of the National Intelligence Service [DCRI]).

Even though Agent Black Three was in TCS mode, he was unsure if he could be identified due to the optical devices the MI6 special agents were wearing on their heads. He took the M4 that he was carrying on his back, took aim and pulled the trigger in burst mode, shooting toward the room where Shin Baiqing had fled. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

<Tick-tock-t-t~ Tick-tock-t-t~>

Countless bullets poured out and passed by in a confrontation over the door. At this time, backup Agent Black Four fired a grenade launcher mounted on the M416, and a 40-millimeter grenade flew and landed on the floor with a dull thud.

<Bang!>

With a deafening explosion, the room was filled with thick smoke. Not to miss this moment, Agent Black Three ran straight into the room and began to mercilessly shoot the MI6 agents lying on the floor.

<Tuk-tuk-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-took>

Without a single missed bullet, the bodies of the MI6 agents were riddled with bullet holes.

As Agent Black Three scanned the room that was filled with thick smoke through the shield glasses, a frown crossed his face.

“Damn it! He ran away!”

He looked around the room for Shin Baiqing several times but there was no sign of him. It looked like he may have escaped through the emergency door that was left open on one side of the room.

“This is the Black Three, Shin Baiqing has escaped through the emergency door! It’s in the northeast direction!”

After reporting, Agent Black Three looked at Agent Black Four who had just entered and pointed at the emergency door. They then quickly went through it.

As they moved about 20 meters down the passage that was so narrow that only one person could fit through at a time, they saw a small space that had a ladder that led down to the first floor.

“This is Black Three, the target went down to the first floor. Black one and Black two wait on the first floor!”

At this time, a loud gunshot rang from the first floor, and communication came from the Black One.

“This is the Black One! Encountered the target! Going to suppress the target.”

<Tatatang! Tatata Tang! Tatatang! Tatang! Taang!>

<Tu-woong! Tuktukttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ttuk tuk-tuk! Tu-woong!>

<Bang! Bang!>

Finally, while the sound of a grenade explosion was heard, Agents Black Three and Four climbed onto the ladder and made their way down to the first floor. Just as Agent Black Three was about to reach the ground floor, bullets rained down piercing the air. Sparks splattered on the iron ladder, and the walls were perforated with bullet holes.

<Puck! Puff puff puff! Puck! Puck!>

Agent Black Three, who was shot several times, clenched his teeth and tried to endure the pain. He turned slowly around and landed on the floor. Then, for the safety of Agent Black Four who was making his way down, he counterattacked while lying on the ground.

<Tuk-tuk-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-took>

<Tatatang! Tatang! Taang! Tatang!>s

In an instant, Shin Baiqing and MI6 agents were surrounded in the middle of the hallway. One of them, who seemed to be the senior, handed him a pistol to break a nearby window. He then beckoned him to get out of there. When they reached outside, agents from the National Central Intelligence Agency (DCRI) were standing by with a vehicle.

When Shin Baiqing threw himself out of the window, the MI6 agents provided suppressive fire to prevent them from approaching.

“This is the Black Three. The target escaped through the window. The second window facing northwest!”

“This is Black Zero! I’ll stop him. Over!”

Black Zero, who was leading the operation from the front door to secure an escape route, grabbed the M4 and ran to the back of the building. Even with various equipment on, Black Zero, who ran like Usain bolt, tried to stop Shin Baiqing who was running through the grounds at breakneck speed, trying to escape in a bulletproof car under the security of DCRI agents. Agent Black Zero rested the M4 on his shoulder and pulled the trigger.

<Tuk-tuk-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-took~>

Sparks flew as bullets hit the bulletproof vehicle, and two DCRI agents who were about to board after Shin Baiqing fell with blood spraying from their heads.

<Kiki Kiki Kiki! Boo-woong!>

After turning around a few times, he quickly jumped up and accelerated toward the front door of the secret house. And just as he was about to go speed up even more and go through the front door, a dull gunshot rang out.

<Boom!>

<Pegging device geek! Quang! Kwak Kwakkaang!>

When the left rear wheel was hit, the bulletproof car became unstable. It collided with a tree on the side of the road, overturned sideways, slid about 10 meters, and finally landed upside-down.

“This is the Black Five! Target sniper success! Currently standing overturned on the side of the road at 250 meters ahead.”

“This is Black Zero. Great job! Agents who have gone in be sure to destroy the rest of the party. I will check the target myself. Over!”

“Black One! Copy that!”

“Black Two! Copy that!”

“Black three! Copy that!”

“Black Four! Copy that!”

“Black Five! Copy that!”

After completing the silent communication, Black Zero sprinted for a distance of 300 meters. Black Zero, who arrived at the overturned bulletproof vehicle, was not panting or tired even though he had sprinted. His breathing was only slightly faster than usual.

“Phew!”

With a sigh of relief, Black Zero shattered the rear window of the overturned bulletproof car with the butt of an M4, pulled out the injured Shin Baiqing in the back seat, and laid him down in the middle of the road.

“Ugh! Ouch! Who, who the hell are you? Or, is it Black, Black, Black Tiger?”

“That, you don’t have to know!”

Black Zero scanned Shin Baiqing’s entire body with the shield glasses. A necklace with a square pendant was detected inside the bathrobe he was wearing.

“This is it!”

After taking off Shin Baiqing’s bathrobe, Black Zero tugged on the necklace. And when he grabbed both sides of the pendant and pulled it apart, a small USB memory drive was revealed.

“Oh, that’s not okay! No, No!”

As Shin Baiqing began to struggle, Black Zero thoughtlessly pulled the trigger.

<Tu-woong! Tu-woong! Tu-woong!>

The distinctive sound of a gunshot with a silencer rang out, and Shin Baiqing flopped on the cold road. Three bullets pierced the center of his forehead, and dark red blood flowed out.

“This is Black Zero! Target checked and kill completed! Evidence was also obtained. What happened to the rest of the party?”

“This is the Black One! Mission complete!”

“This is Black Zero! Then the mission ends as of the present time! Retreat. Over!”

“Black One! Copy that!”

“Black Two! Copy that!”

“Black three! Copy that!”

“Black Four! Copy that!”

“Black Five! Copy that!”

Over Balhae Bay, Korea

About 200 fighter jets and bombers from South and North Korea had just entered the skies of Balhae Bay.

72 C-21 jet fighters, Korea’s latest fighter jets, flew at the front to secure air supply, and 72 CF/A-25P Black jet fighter-bombers flew in succession to perform air supremacy and bombing missions. Third in line were 20 strategic-class bombers, CBS/A-30P Blue Dragon strategic bombers and 16 CB-91P Goshawk bombers, that flew as a squadron group. Finally, 24 CF-16Z Fighting Falcons flew as a bomber escort.

These air force projections were not the only ones. A similar air force was currently flying in the air over Western Manchuria along the northwestern border, and 24 CF/A-50 Golden Eagles, 28 F-15k Slam Eagles, and CF-16Z sorties from the 20th Fighter Wing were also fighting in West Manchuria. 28 Falcons were in flight to bomb the 66th Army Group heading toward Xuzhou.

Three years ago, the Korean-Chinese, Korean-Japanese, and Korean-American wars were fought with an enormous power equivalent to 60 percent of the Republic of Korea’s air force.

12 CF/A-25P Black jet fighter-bombers and CBS/A-30P Blue Dragon, which were tasked with bombing the first zone of the border connected to the coast of Balhae Bay, amidst hundreds of aircraft flying over the muddy area, where even a single star could not be seen due to the thick yellow dust. As the four strategic bombers approached within 100 kilometers of the target, they began to slowly enter the bombing procedure.

*The border with New China is set up in a total of 10 districts, each with a length of 110 kilometers, divided into 100 sub-sectors.

Flying in a group of hundreds of various aircraft like a wolf pack was very dangerous because they could be detected by anti-aircraft radar. In particular, the advantages of the jet fighters and Black jet fighters, which have excellent stealth functions, were not fully displayed. However, there was a reason why they were flying in such a manner.

It was to instill fear in the new military. In a nutshell, it would take a rather daring act from New China’s air force to stop it.

After the defeat in the Korean-Chinese War, New China, which succeeded the former communist regime in China as it was, concentrated on strengthening its military power by tightening its national economic power. Three years later, although it was not able to retain the military strength of the former Chinese capabilities, it was able to maintain about 80 percent..
