places I’ve never been
Korean Blue House.
President Hong Sang-hoon was playing solo with Park Shin-woo. The president with a serious expression opened his mouth slowly.
“What is it? Have you thought about it? If you make a decision, I will push you fully.”
“Is the story over at the party?”
“Not yet. Before that, I’ll start by doing some research around you. I could go up to the final stage for nothing and come down with a blank mouth.”
“I have been thinking about it. But I can’t shake the feeling that it’s too much of a seat.”
The president shook his head.
“As you may know, Korea has already entered an aging society. It is said that the backbone of society is the elderly. So, from the National Assembly to the Blue House. I’m too old. That’s why I’m slow to change. But what about the world?”
The president spoke.
“It is the people in their 30s who account for the waist in the proportion of the world’s population. I mean, I’m from the same age group as you. It’s very dynamic. We need people like you to keep pace with the world.”
Park Shin-woo nodded at the president’s eloquence. Obviously, the president of a country is different.
“However······.”
“Of course, you could lose the primary, or you could lose the presidential election. But maybe not. It could be Korea with the 30th innovative president instead of Korea with Sinaisoft.”
“·················ogue.”
“You know what I regret the most when I look back on the past?”
“I do not know.”
“Government that cannot keep up with social change.”
“·················ogue.”
“The Blue House is too old. Don’t be afraid of challenges. Failure is even terrifying. If you fail once, you will be criticized by the public. But Sinasoft didn’t do that. He tried and failed, and eventually succeeded. Why can’t the government do that?”
Park Shin-woo opened his mouth carefully.
“Companies and governments that only care about maximum efficiency are different. The government has to think about the happiness of the majority, even if it is less efficient.”
“Even considering that, I can’t shake the feeling that it’s too much.”
“Will I be able to do that heavy duty?”
“Finland has a 34-year-old youngest president. There, lawmakers ride bicycles to the National Assembly and show no sense of authority.”
“The situation in North Europe and Korea is different.”
“But shouldn’t we also have a direction?”
“·················ogue.”
“To change, you have to have a goal. Where are your goals? What would you like Korea to look like, which has already become a power comparable to the United States or China? Actually, I know even if you don’t say it. Because I found out through policies and reports that have already been drafted.”
“Hey, was it?”
“It is my job to choose my successor, but no one can choose. I really liked your idea. So I contacted him through the chief of staff.”
Park Shin-woo silently nodded his head. Hong Sang-hoon said firmly.
“What is it? Have you made up your mind?”
Park Shin-woo, who was worried about those words, nodded his head. It meant that he had decided to run for president.

China’s Special Cyber ​​Squadron.
Wang Fang was almost resident there, monitoring the situation. Because the situation was very serious.
“Didn’t I say there would be no problem!”
At his shout, the chief of public security bowed his head.
“Hey, I thought it was like that at first…”
“However?”
“It happened unexpectedly and suddenly.”
The chief of public security was unable to speak until the end. It was because Wang Fang’s shouts flew in again.
“Then the virus will suddenly come flying in, give it a warning!”
and quaang.
With a sound, Wang Fang’s fists hit the desk. The public security chief swallowed dry saliva. Wang Fang spoke quickly.
“Do you know what would happen if this virus even spreads in China? Did you forget that China was almost shut down by Black? This is it!”
“Gee, I remember.”
“But you’re just washing your hands without doing anything? uh? That’s the chief’s response now!”
Wang Fang’s decree continued. But the chief also had a lot to say.
‘No, this is not me.’
It all happened due to orders from superiors. To join hands with the United States to hack, and to receive analysis data about it. This is what happened while I was processing the instruction. Why are you saying that you are taking all the responsibility? However, the chief could not keep his mouth shut.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Have you figured out the cause? Where are you?”
“Well, it’s still…”
Wangfang snorted wildly and snorted vigorously.
“Damn, damn, damn it! Aww!”
It was like seeing a crazy person. But the director could understand his reaction.
‘If this spreads, China is really over.’
If not addressed early, this year’s growth rate will converge to 0%. It may be the first to record negative growth. As a result, the entire leadership may change. Before that, there may be a riot. It’s going to be a mess you don’t know. The chief cautiously opened his mouth.
“If you contact Kang at the beginning, there may be a solution. As always.”
There was a workaround that could solve the current situation the fastest.
“Who doesn’t know that?”
“·················ogue.”
“Damn it······.”
Wang Fang also knew he had to ask for help from CEO Kang.
‘I got a virus while hacking again.’
I can’t say that. But if Sinaisoft doesn’t have the evidence, cut off the tail as planned. maybe it will work somehow
But somehow, it seemed that if it was Sinasoft, it would have evidence that China was involved. That was the problem. Wang Fang sighed and leaned back on the chair.
“ha······.”
A situation where you can’t do this or that. At that moment, the chief’s cell phone rang.
“what? America too?”
“It’s true?”
“okay. Continue monitoring the situation.”
Said the director who cut off contact again.
“I just got a call, but it seems that the United States is also infected with a similar virus.”
“what?”
“This is a fact confirmed by three channels. So, it is said that intelligence agencies, including the NSA and the CIA, were caught in a panic.”
“Then it’s not the American side… is this what you mean?”
The director remained silent without comment. This is because if you play the wrong mouth in such a situation, you can get a headwind. However, Wang Fang did not leave such a director standing still.
“You don’t even want to answer?”
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
The chief shook his head again.

CIA headquarters in Langley, USA.
The situation room in the underground bunker was engulfed in panic. The CIA director shouted at the agent.
“what do you mean. It’s an infection!”
“In our judgment, we have tentatively concluded that it was probably made in China.”
“So you didn’t stop working in China?”
“···sorry. This time, the boundaries were lifted to some extent by collaborating.”
“Haha… So what’s the current situation?”
“Agents are working on a vaccine for that. We have also sent letters of cooperation to companies like Fort and Indus.”
“That’s why I said I caught it, I mean I didn’t catch it.”
“yet······.”
At that, the CIA director let out a long sigh.
“Does that mean that the analysis wasn’t even done properly?”
“Yes. We have even confirmed that internal information is corrupted when infected, and the PC itself becomes jammed over time.”
“Aren’t you asking for money?”
“Yes. There were no such signs.”
“It’s only for destruction.”
“Yes.”
at that time.
The employee’s cell phone vibrated and vibrated.
“Yes.”
“I am watching now.”
“Is the infection spreading rapidly?”
“What do you mean it is only a matter of time before New York breaks through?”
The employee who answered the phone with a serious expression nodded his head repeatedly. Then, the words gradually disappeared.
“all right.”
And immediately hung up the phone. asked the CIA director hastily.
“What is he saying now. New York is open now.”
“There are reports of the virus being reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The CIA looked at the relevant data and found that it was the one we were looking for.”
“What is the speed?”
“that is······.”
“Quickly!”
“It is said that it is too fast to handle. There is an influx of related inquiries.”
The CIA chief gritted his teeth.
“Then go out and do something without developing a vaccine.”
At that, the staff ran out. Seeing this, the CIA director let out a long sigh.
“Damn it.”
The fastest way to resolve the current situation is to contact Kang Seung-ho. However, not long ago, they cooperated with China to hack Sinaisoft. But asking for help?
Even thinking about it, it was absurd. But if Sinaisoft doesn’t know.
The CIA director shook his head to shake off those thoughts. If it’s downtown software, you’ll know for sure. I couldn’t get that thought out of my mind. The CIA director put his hand on the secure line phone to report the matter.
Moment.
tirili.
The phone rang with a sound. The director hastily answered the phone.
– The results of data analysis are out.
The dark face of the chief’s expression brightened a little.
“How is it?”
– I think I got hit by the bait server.
“Yes?”
The bright expression on his face suddenly darkened. Bait Server Because what that meant was that all your efforts so far were in vain.
– I tried to combine the data, but it is not actually usable. It is said that the theory can be grafted only when quantum computers come out.
The hand that was holding the phone suddenly lost strength. The CIA director took a deep breath and rallied.
“In the end, it means no use.”
-Yes. It’s like wasting some time. By now, China would have known this.
“Did you hear the news?”
The opponent is the director of the NSA. I couldn’t have known that.
-I heard. Our agents are also currently analyzing it. However.
“It’s not easy.”
-Yes. If it spreads all over the US, it’s over.
“·················ogue.”
Just thinking about it was terrifying. We have already seen the case of China from the sidelines. Growth has been cut by almost half. What if America were to do that?
The impact on the global economy will be significant.
-I’ll do my best to investigate, but if it spreads faster in the meantime.
The CIA director bit his lower lip. Meanwhile, the director of the NSA continued.
– Should I contact CEO Kang? What do you think?
“I, too, have the same thoughts.”
If that happens, you will have to take your clothes off. Somebody has to take responsibility for the current situation.
– First of all, we will do our best in the NSA. The CIA would also like to share relevant information as soon as possible.
at that time.
The CIA director’s cell phone vibrated with a rumble. I checked and an urgent message had arrived.
– Pause due to New York Exchange virus infection.
The situation was deteriorating. The CIA director bit his lip.
