Chapter 652: Exhaustion
The summer rains sometimes come quickly and catch people off guard.
"Heyγγγ What the hell is this weatherγγγ Let's all go fasterγγγ Don't grind!"
A young prison guard, who noticed the slow movement of the prisoners in front of him, reprimanded them with his baton, and stabbed the scum who were about to regain their freedom several times.
He really couldn't understand why the Seoul District Corrections Agency signed a cooperation agreement with a private agricultural development company in Southeast Asia, and why these damned felons in front of him were given limited freedom to go to Southeast Asia to farm because they signed a ten-year employment contract.
As a newcomer to the Yeongdeungpo Detention Center in Seoul, he was ambitious, but he was a little confused when many colleagues held contracts from unknown places and discussed them privately and danced with their eyebrows.
The seniors of these detention centers actually took off their police uniforms, joined a private security company, and went to Kalimantan Island in Southeast Asia to fight for the "freedom of agriculture" in the Republic of Korea for the rest of their lives.
If it weren't for the fact that the monthly guaranteed salary printed out on the contract was 10 million won, this young prison guard would have been touched by the patriotic spirit of his predecessors.
"West Eightγγγ Has the rain stopped?"
The young prison guard, who had just received the raincoat from a colleague, looked up at the sky.
"What are you rubbing?γγγ Hurry up and get in the car!"
An older prisoner happened to pass by and was startled by his loud shouts.
More than a dozen buses stopped in front of the gate of the detention center in an orderly manner, many policemen armed with heavy firearms were eyeing each other, and three police armored vehicles even set up machine guns on the top.
Such scenes were also played out at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province, and the Seongdong Detention Center in Songpa-gu.
γγγγγγ
"Bang Bang Bangγγγ Bang Bang γγγ β
The applause continued, and all the guests at the scene looked extraordinary.
A crowd of people dressed in the uniforms of the South Korean army, navy and air force surrounded Ji Mingzhe like a moon.
"The seniors are politeγγγ Thank you for your continued support!"
Dressed in a military uniform, he also looked very powerful when he saluted the army, and the three general stars on his shoulders also shone brightly, and Ji Myung-cheol became a lieutenant general of the Republic of Korea at this moment.
Today's small award ceremony at the Ministry of National Defense was held especially for him.
γγγγγγ
Zhou Zhengwen is conscientious as the new president, which can also be said to be conscientious, and will report to the "State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission" or Chi Mingzhe himself in everything, and even "fear" that Chi Mingzhe will take the lead in saluting when he meets with the army generals because of his low military rank, and intends to directly "promote" him to the rank of army general.
This move was sternly rejected by Chi Mingzhe himself, and he shamelessly said, "If you haven't made an inch, why do you steal a high position, and you have relatives in your heart!" It is thanks to President Zhou that he had a foundation in Sinology when he was young, otherwise he would not know what he was talking about.
Ji Mingzhe also thanked him for his "loyalty first" and promised to let the National Assembly pass a resolution on the re-election of the South Korean president as soon as possible, and the constitution was also being amended.
"Ladies and gentlemenγγγ The new defense budget will be announced soonγγγ And the bill on the army's salary increase will soon have a result!"
Some of the generals of the army, navy and air force around him were surprised, and some were smiling and nodding, but at least three or four of the rather old generals had a smile on their lips, but the sneer in their eyes was captured by Chi Mingzhe, who had been paying attention for a long time.
"The old manγγγ Let's be proud for a while!"
The "national scolding" in his heart made Chi Mingzhe happy, and once again felt the breadth and profundity of the "motherland" culture.
γγγγγγ
No matter how developed the economy is, no matter how much it flaunts itself as democracy and freedom, its hidden political "skeleton" and "bloodline" continue the feudal and conservative style of the Joseon Dynasty.
The class is solidified, the descendants of the powerful are still the elite, and no matter how hard the grassroots try, they will never become a member of the top class, which is the tradition that the upper class of South Korea has always followed.
But Chi Mingzhe subverted this tradition, and in the eyes of old-school people, he became a heroic power of "princes and generals, rather have a kind!".
The appalling wealth, which is so dazzling and "detrimental", is all the basis for Ji Mingzhe to gallop through the top of South Korean politics and subdue all kinds of "ghosts", which has made him proud of South Korea since then.
But there are always some "villains" who are incompetent or unwilling to face reality, and always want to give Ji Mingzhe a "cluck!" at the right time, and they all think that they are well hidden, but they don't know that the Republic of Korea's version of "Jinyi Guards" has long been active in all walks of life in this country, and these people's every move is also under control.
The "prosperity" of the Park Chung-hee era has been talked about and felt by some groups or individuals for a long time, so that these old-fashioned people who still exist in the upper echelons of South Korea are dissatisfied with Ji Mingzhe, the "anti-thief", who has successfully controlled the "national weapon".
Not to mention marrying the country, even if he marries the whole of Asia, Chi Mingzhe does not intend to spare this woman, the two actually have no hatred, but if Chi Mingzhe wants his son to be able to take over the "national weapon" in the future, he must take advantage of the time he built to clear those cows, ghosts, snakes, gods and all kinds of obstacles, including Li Mingbo, who has been under residential surveillance.
Zheng Zexun, the boss of the National Intelligence Institute, has repeatedly assured "Brother Chi" that these people will definitely die of terminal illness in the New Year.
The end of these generals has long been doomed, so Chi Mingzhe smiled at them, which was regarded as an early tribute.
γγγγγγ
The next day, under the broadcast of the news media throughout South Korea, the entire Republic of Korea was completely boiling.
"Finally, I don't have to do military serviceγγγ Thank you to the new governmentγγγ Thank... β
"Being a soldier is a profession now?γγγ I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"
Korean men of all ages are the main part of the discussion, but they are ecstatic and occupy the majority.
Especially in the entertainment industry, those male artists and stars, all of them are like winning awards, about three or four, and friends who rarely meet for a long time on weekdays are also called to get together together.
College students, and young people of military service age... In short, all kinds of celebrations and gatherings have made the Korean catering industry make a fortune.
Abandoning the conscription system and adopting the conscription system commonly used in developed countries has made South Korea the focus of international public opinion for a while, especially Asian countries have continued to pay attention to it, but no matter what others say, a wave of retirement in South Korea's various branches of the military has slowly surfaced.
γγγγγγ
"I disagreeγγγ The north is still eyeing each other... But you want to retire the best soldiers in South Koreaγγγγ You have evil intentionsγγγ You are destroying South Korea's defense!"
Army General Jang In-seok loudly refuted individual generals at an internal mobilization meeting held by the Ministry of National Defense.
"You're too serious, sir!"
Jin Zaiyong, who has the rank of two-star major general, has a very flat tone.
After taking charge of the special operations unit of the South Korean Army, Kim Jae-yong is like a "second spring", and he must be meticulous in everything, which can be described as conscientious, and as an officer who was forced to retire from Unit 707, after becoming the commander of special operations, he returned to the original unit to do a good job, and revenge was also internally characterized as getting rid of the "black sheep", which is beneficial to the spiritual civilization construction of the army. . . . Cough!
"Hmmγγγ β
seems to disdain to see Jin Zaiyong, a civilian-born "nouveau riche", and despises him for only flying up because he has a "thick leg".
Jang In-seok turned his gaze to the other generals of the three armed forces who were present, but had remained silent.
"Ladies and gentlemenγγγ We must stop this kind of behavior, which leads to the chaos and collapse of the armyγγγ Some people are not soldiers at all, but they are in power... Base... Yes!... β
Zhang Renxi, who was halfway through speaking, covered his head and glared angrily at Jin Zaiyong, and a large amount of blood oozed from his fingers.
The generals sitting around the long table pretended not to see anything, including Jin Zaiyong slammed the ashtray on Jang In-seok's head just now.
"Disrespect to Chairman Ji is disrespect to the Republic of Korea!"
Like no one, Jin Zaiyong took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands and threw it on the ground.
"Ahemγγγ Don't be impulsiveγγγ Something to say!"
The words of Kim Jang-so, the bigwig of the Ministry of National Defense, made Jang In-seok, who was looking forward to it, deeply disappointed, and then a sense of fear surged in his heart.
"I'm sorryγγγ I will personally apologize to Ji Myung-cheol!"
This is also a decisive person, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Chong Jin bowed again, and the blood that had already stained half of his cheek dripped on the table.
βγγγ I'll pass it on my behalf!"
Jin Zaiyong nodded with a serious expression.
"Alrightγγγ You go and take care of the wound firstγγγ So what's next... Everyone has forgotten about the unpleasant thingsγγγ Let's discuss the distribution ratio of the respective services after the new budget is down... If there are objections, I believe that the SASAC will consider everyone's difficulties!"
Kim Jang-so gestured to Jang In-seok, and then had a heated discussion with the generals of all branches of the armed forces present.
γγγγγγ
"Thirty-five thousand?γγγ So neat?"
Chi Mingzhe looked at the report in front of him and thought for a moment.
Of course, he didn't come up with any clues, anyway, he will vigorously expand his "private army" in the future, and the land, sea and air will not be left behind.
The "Dove of Peace" military consulting company has always spent a lot of money, but fortunately, the Jeju Island government has helped to digest a large amount of "silver taels", and the contracts of the officers and soldiers of the defense forces stationed in Jeju have expired.
Ji Mingzhe chose the best among them, leaving many outstanding officers and veterans with rich combat experience as the skeleton, and Liszt, who returned to Jeju from Afghanistan after recovering from his wounds, was ordered to form the Kalimantan Songbai Port Security Defense Force.
βγγγ Exactly according to the copy of the American 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division?"
Liszt couldn't believe what he had heard and what he had seen in his hand, but the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
γγγγγγ
Among the US forces that dominate the world, the most combat-effective is not the First Armored Division or the First Mechanized Infantry Division stationed in Europe, let alone the First Cavalry Division, which is the three armored divisions that start with a word, although these three units are already rare opponents, but the most combative force of the US Army is the Third Mechanized Infantry Division stationed on the mainland, the only one with four heavy combat brigades, nicknamed "Marne Rock".
The number of personnel alone dwarfs the number of army divisions in many countries, and the number of personnel in normal times is as high as 22,000, although this also includes 3,000 logistics support personnel, but once it enters a wartime state, the strength of the army will quickly "swell" to 32,000.
In addition, it is equipped with as many as 1,166 tanks and various types of combat armored vehicles, more than 5,400 logistics and engineering vehicles as auxiliaries, 150 helicopters for various purposes, 220 anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, and 188 light and heavy artillery pieces.
γγγγγγ
Ji Mingzhe nodded and did not speak, but the pride in his eyes was like substance, this is the benefit of having an oil field at home, and he just wants to replicate this desperate combat power and strength, which will have a deterrent effect on Indonesians and Southeast Asian countries in the future.
"I'll do my bestγγγ But... In terms of funding... β
"You just have to go back to the United States... It's all saidγγγ Based on your final purchase list, unified settlement!"
βγγγ Then I'm fine!"
Liszt Chongchi Mingzhe gave a standard military salute, and he was also a lieutenant general of the Republic of Korea.
γγγγγγ
"Dididiγγγ β
As soon as the door of the business car slid open, Jin Xuexuan, who was wearing a school uniform and looked a little tired, got in.
βγγγ Oba!"
She even had a dry voice.
took the schoolbag in her hand and threw it on the back seat, grabbed her wrist, and dragged Xue Xuan into his arms.
"I heard I've been sick for days, why didn't you tell Oba?"
"Are you busyγγγ I'm afraid to disturb you!"
"Being sick is a big deal, no matter how busy you are, I will care about youγγγ Not next time, huh?"
βγγγ Hmmm!"
Seeing Xue Xuan squinting her eyes in her arms obediently, Ji Mingzhe kissed her on the cheek with some distress.
learned from Zhiyan that Xue Xuan had been sick for the past few days, but she still insisted on going to school, but Ji Mingzhe was "shocked", and she was also "moved" by this girl who no longer skipped class and became studious, so she specially helped her ask for leave from the teacher today and picked her up in front of Shuqing School.
"What do you want to eat?γγγ Oba let people do it!"
"Don't want to eatγγγ It's like Oba with me!"
"Goodγγγ Accompany us Xue Xuan today... Not going anywhere, huh?"
βγγγ Hmmm!"
His cheek rubbed against Ji Mingzhe's chest, and with the slight swaying of the vehicle and the patting of his back, Xue Hyun quickly fell asleep.
Holding the sleeping girl, Chi Mingzhe remained motionless, for fear of waking her up.
Looking at the dense traffic on the streets of Seoul outside the car window, it didn't take long for him to close his eyes, and after many days of "working for the country", it was inevitable that he was mentally exhausted.
