Chapter 450: The M1A1's Rush (4117)
Parked on the road was an old M1A1 Abrams.
Wilson was originally a member of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Eighth Army of the United States. Although he was not a professional tank soldier, he was no stranger to the antique M1A1. He had driven an M1A1 on the battlefield of Babylon ten years ago.
Seeing the open front cabin door, Wilson, who had been drinking quite a bit, was about to mutter who drove the tank here when he heard a voice that seemed to be saying something in his ear.
Wilson was in a trance for a moment, and then climbed into the front cabin of the M1A1 in a drunken state.
"Hey! Wilson, what are you doing?"
Seeing Wilson climb into the front cabin, the curly-haired Latino colleague was startled and even sobered up. He just shouted and seemed to hear Wilson's voice: "Louis, have you forgotten? Major Campbell ordered us to drive this tank to Camp Humphreys."
Louis also felt his mind was in a trance, as if he was possessed by a demon, and he muttered to himself: "Yes, it was Major Campbell who asked me to drive this tank to Camp Humphreys."
As he spoke, Louis used his hands and feet to stagger into the commander's seat in the turret, while Wilson started the tank with a dull look in his eyes and drove out of the Longshan base with a rumble.
But none of them thought that it was impossible for this M1A1 to drive to Camp Humphreys, which was more than 200 kilometers away.
They also didn't realize that they were not heading towards Camp Humphreys in the south, but were driving into the main road and heading towards the west gate five kilometers away.
There was a constant stream of cars on the main road. Behemoths weighing up to 70 tons were roaring along the road, rushing forward at a speed of over 50 kilometers per hour, smashing through the traffic, and causing chaos wherever they passed.
Amidst the curses, many vehicles that had been scratched or had accidents due to the chaos stopped where they were, and a serious traffic jam soon formed behind the M1A1.
Many car owners even held up their mobile phones, cursing and filming.
The patrolmen on the road were sweating profusely, blowing their whistles and waving their arms vigorously, while the M1A1 continued to drive towards the west gate as if it was completely unaware.
The emergency support patrol officers rode motorcycles and could only follow closely while communicating with their superiors through walkie-talkies and mobile phones.
Not to mention that this is a tank, they can't stop it at all. Even if they can stop it, they can't stop it.
This is Mai Jun!
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. In emergency communications, superiors also need to report upwards step by step, and just tell them to follow closely and report the situation at all times.
The patrolmen on motorcycles had no choice but to turn on their sirens and drive around the M1A1, making it look like they were clearing the way for the M1A1.
In less than ten minutes, the M1A1 left the main road and stopped at a newly razed construction site next to Deoksugung Palace. The police officers following it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A policeman in his thirties wearing a helmet got off his motorcycle and hit the M1A1 hard with his baton, shouting in broken English, asking the people inside to come out quickly.
However, there was no movement in this M1A1, as if no one was operating it.
When the patrolmen were discussing whether to climb up and take a look, the turret of the M1A1 suddenly turned, and the gun barrel seemed to be adjusted to an appropriate angle and fixed.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's going on?
Before they could react, they saw a flash of fire from the gun barrel.
"boom!"
——
Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, No. 21 Jeongdong was still brightly lit.
This is the headquarters of NIS and the most important intelligence center in the entire Goryeo.
A silver BMW 530 slowly drove into No. 21. Kim Tae-woo, who was wearing a black suit, had a tall figure and looked like a Korean male star, got out from the driver's seat. When the two guards saw Kim Tae-woo, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Kim Tae-woo returned the greeting expressionlessly and casually threw his car keys to one of the guards. The guard took it, trotted into Kim Tae-woo's car, and went to park it for Kim Tae-woo.
"Young Master Jin, Deputy Director Xu is waiting for you."
As Kim Tae-woo walked out of the elevator on the fifth floor and arrived at the door of the Deputy Minister's office, a young woman in her twenties stood up from her workstation and bowed slightly to him.
Kim Tae-woo nodded to the young woman and was about to walk inside when the young woman suddenly pulled his sleeve gently.
"Mr. Jin, the deputy minister just got angry. You'd better be careful." The young woman said softly, with some worry in her tone.
Kim Tae-woo raised his eyebrows slightly and gave the young woman a look that said "don't worry". He walked to the door of Deputy Minister Xu Xun's office, first adjusted his suit and tie, and then knocked on the door.
"Domestic Affairs Department Level 5 Intelligence Officer Kim Tae-woo reports for duty!"
"Come in."
The voice coming from inside the door sounded a little old.
Kim Tae-woo pushed open the door and walked steadily into the inner room, where he saw an elderly man with gray hair and glasses who looked a bit gentle. He was holding a putter and concentrating on aiming the golf ball at his feet, trying to push the ball into the hole on the putting practice field.
The old man was none other than NIS Vice Minister Xu Xun.
NIS was originally called KCIA. It is an intelligence organization created by Goryeo based entirely on the structure of Xi'ai'e. Its Goryeo Network Envoy Corps (VANK) has more than 120,000 members, most of whom are young people around 20 years old. 30,000 of them are located overseas, more than half of whom are in Da Zhou, mainly engaged in cognitive warfare.
Basically, every case of "cultural theft" by Goryeo that the Great Zhou knew about was done by this organization.
With a "bang", the golf ball went into the hole, and Kim Tae-woo clapped his hands in support.
Xu Xun put down the club, which was a little crooked. Jin Taiyu looked at the club and didn't do anything.
Xu Xun sat back in his seat with an expressionless face and looked at Jin Taiyu: "I heard that you had a conflict with the Mai people today?"
Jin Taiyu's eyes flashed: "Deputy Minister, it was the Mai Ba Army who first attacked our Seventh Aviation Communications Brigade..."
"Bang!"
"I asked you if you had a conflict with the Mai people!"
Xu Xun slammed his palm on the table and shouted, interrupting Jin Taiyu's defense.
Jin Taiyu lowered his head, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
It turns out that Deputy Minister Xu was born during the Japanese occupation period and is used to kneeling. Our great country of Goryeo is now among the top three in the world in terms of military strength, one of the top four in the World Cup, and Kpop is popular all over the world. Whether in sports or culture, it is a recognized world power. How can it be so timid?
"What's with that expression on your face? Are you unconvinced? You should know how much pressure the Pentagon has put on us recently! The missile defense system is about to be deployed, and you're provoking the Mai people now?"
Seeing the veins on Xu Xun's forehead popping out, although Jin Taiyu still felt indifferent, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.
After all, Xu Xun and his family have a close relationship, and he has received a lot of care from Xu Xun in the past few years at NIS.
"Deputy Minister, I can take full responsibility for this."
Kim Tae-woo put his hands on the hem of his pants and bowed slightly to Xu Xun.
Seeing Jin Taiyu lower his head, Xu Xun's expression eased slightly. He snorted, "You must remember that you are the heir of the Jin family. You must use your brain more when doing things in the future. The world situation is turbulent now. We are caught between Mai Kingdom and Da Zhou. We must be more cautious. Do you understand?"
Kim Tae-woo is a member of Kim Jung-hyuk's family. Since sixty or seventy years ago, many family members of Kim Jung-hyuk have entered the National Assembly and many important departments. They have a significant influence in many constituencies in Hancheng and its surrounding areas. He is one of the most powerful people in Goryeo.
The corners of Jin Taiyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head again: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the Deputy Minister. I will seriously reflect on this!"
Xu Xun let out a long sigh and scolded Jin Taiyu a few more words. Jin Taiyu saw that Xu Xun's anger had almost subsided and was about to say goodbye, but saw Xu Xun waving her hand.
"I called you here today for more than just this matter. You've been working in the Domestic Affairs Department for three years. If you want to advance further, you need more practical experience and achievements. I plan to transfer you to the International Intelligence Department for overseas missions."
Upon hearing this, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but feel happy.
It is much easier to make achievements when being sent abroad than in China, and it is also more comfortable. With your level, no matter where you are sent, you will at least be the second or third in command. In some small places, you are more likely to become the person in charge and become a local lord. Isn't it better than being bullied in China?
Jin Taiyu raised his head, his face calm and steady. "Deputy Minister, I will obey all the arrangements of the hospital. Where are you going to send me?"
Xu Xun adjusted his glasses: "Great Zhou."
really.
Kim Tae-woo felt relieved and couldn't help but smile.
Da Zhou, Wa Kingdom, and Mai Kingdom are the three most important regions of NIS. Basically 90% of the expatriates are in these three regions.
Da Zhou is the most important region among them, even more important than Mai State.
According to the experience of past predecessors, it goes without saying that it is easy to make achievements here. The Koreans are extremely comfortable in the Great Zhou and have a very high status. The women of the Great Zhou like Korean men very much, and the Koreans are even more superior people here.
Xu Xun has been working in intelligence for so many years that he could see what Jin Taiyu was thinking at a glance.
"Don't be too happy yet. Great Zhou is different now than it was before. In recent years, Great Zhou has risen too fast. In many aspects, it has surpassed us by a long way. This is especially true in the hottest field of artificial intelligence. Great Zhou has even surpassed Maiguo."
Hearing Xu Xun say this, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Deputy Minister Xu has been kneeling for too long. He used to kneel to the Mai Kingdom, and now even a country like the Great Zhou has begun to kneel. He is really hopeless and is unworthy of being a citizen of our Great Goryeo Kingdom.
What's the point of overtaking on a curve? Didn't they make a little progress by stealing our Goryeo culture and technology?
"Deputy Minister, please rest assured. I know the people of Da Zhou very well. They are all very short-sighted."
As he spoke, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but reveal a hint of contempt and arrogance at the corner of his mouth: "No matter what aspect they have the advantage in, I believe that I can get everything we need from them!"
Xu Xun nodded with relief, but then his expression turned serious. Just as he was about to say something, the red phone on the table rang.
Emergency call?
Xu Xun made a gesture to Jin Taiyu to wait, picked up the phone, and frowned after listening to just two sentences.
An M1A1 of the Mai Army is heading towards the city?
What's going on?
Now it’s not the fixed moving time agreed upon by both parties.
Moreover, tanks are supposed to be used for freight transportation, so how can they be driven on public roads?
Or in the city?
Xu Xun was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a flash of fire a thousand meters away outside the window from the corner of his eye.
Before he could see clearly, he heard a loud "boom!"
At the same time, Building 21 on the top 6 floors began to shake violently, and all the glass shattered instantly!
not good!
Kim Tae-woo, who had received strict military training, subconsciously lay down on the ground. The room was filled with smoke and dust. Several pieces of broken tempered glass slashed across Kim Tae-woo's face with a strong impact, leaving several bloody marks.
Under the influence of surging adrenaline, Kim Tae-woo didn't feel any pain at all. After touching his body and finding that he was not seriously injured, he remembered to take a look at Xu Xun by the window.
"Deputy Minister!"
Kim Tae-woo took a closer look and couldn't help but feel furious.
Xu Xun was covered in blood, still holding the red telephone receiver in his hand. All the items on the large desk, including the phone, were scattered on the floor. A sharp piece of broken aluminum alloy was deeply inserted into Xu Xun's head, almost cutting his head in half vertically!
Kim Tae-woo's pupils dilated and he could hardly believe his eyes.
What's going on?
Kim Tae-woo lay down and turned his head to look out the window. He saw that a three-story building less than 20 meters away from No. 21 had collapsed halfway, and flames seemed to be burning in the billowing smoke.
That’s VANK’s office building!
What happened? Why did it explode?
Was it planted with a bomb?
No, it doesn't matter!
The important thing is, this place is too dangerous! I need to leave quickly!
Kim Tae-woo staggered to his feet and was about to run out when he saw another flash of light a few hundred meters outside the window. Almost at the same time, the VANK building exploded again!
Kim Tae-woo seemed to see a shadow with flames at the tail piercing into the remaining ruined buildings of VANK with unparalleled speed.
"boom!"
A violent impact came again, and the huge shock wave pushed Jin Taiyu, who had just stood up, away four or five meters and directly hit the wall of Xu Xun's office!
It's a missile!
And it’s a fuel-air bomb!
This is the center of Hancheng, how could there be missiles here?!
Was it an attack from the north? How could there be no advance warning?
"Cough... cough... cough..." Kim Tae-woo leaned against the wall and coughed a few times with difficulty. Blood was coming out of all his orifices, and he could not hear any other sound except the tinnitus.
No matter what, we must escape quickly!
Kim Tae-woo endured the pain all over his body and crawled towards the door using his hands and feet.
Just at this moment, a flash of fire appeared again in the distance.
At this moment, Kim Tae-woo felt that time seemed to slow down. The fire, which originally lasted less than a second, seemed to become slower and longer, and became bigger and bigger in his sight.
Immediately afterwards, he felt his body being thrown high into the air, and then he saw his legs and body being thrown in all directions like torn rags in the shock wave.
No! ! ! ! !
I am the heir of the Jin family! I am the protagonist of this world! I can't die here!
And then, there seemed to be only an afterimage left in front of his eyes. The high temperature generated by the fuel-air bomb instantly burned his eyeballs and skin, and at the same time, his remaining consciousness was also burned.
