“Hmm….”

 

 

The President leaned back, lost in thought.

 

 

 

 

There aren’t many countries in the world that possess nuclear weapons, officially or unofficially.

And even fewer that possess them officially.

 

 

The reason is simple.

 

 

Because they are such destructive weapons, the moment you try to possess them, sanctions will fly in from all directions.

 

 

 

 

‘Just’ an early-stage atomic bomb killed over 100,000 people in an instant.

Now, the power is incomparable to then, and there’s no need to even mention hydrogen bombs, which use that atomic bomb as a detonator.

 

 

That’s why countries with only conventional weapons can’t raise their voices against countries with nuclear weapons.

 

Against the world, or more precisely, if a country has nuclear power excellent enough to make mutually assured destruction possible with the United States (like Russia), then regardless of that country’s economic power or other conditions, it becomes somewhat possible to ignore the world’s pressure and act.

 

 

The international community doesn’t want the number of these uncontrollable countries to increase, so official nuclear-weapon states are rarely born, and if someone tries to possess nuclear weapons without permission, they are subjected to various political and economic sanctions, making them a global outcast.

 

 

 

That’s why ‘nuclear weapons’ are a problem that must be approached very carefully in themselves.

They have powerful power, but they also have enormous risks.

 

 

 

 

But!

 

 

 

Korea is now an officially recognized nuclear-weapon state due to the last defense of Tokyo!

 

 

There were no restrictions on how much power to develop nuclear weapons to, how many to make, or how far to send them.

 

Compared to other countries, the diplomatic cost of developing and making nuclear weapons is incomparably cheaper.

 

Not only that, but Korea has already surpassed the level of early-stage atomic bombs and has begun developing hydrogen bombs in earnest.

 

 

 

 

What if Korea reveals a huge amount of nuclear weapons to the international community?

 

The world’s movements to sanction Korea will inevitably pause to some extent.

The voices calling for war will subside, not to mention, especially in the case of China, all the major cities, including the capital, are right in front of them, so they will have to shut up for their own benefit and peace.

 

 

The fist for sanctions turns into a palm for negotiation.

 

 

 

 

It looks pretty plausible at first glance.

 

 

But there’s a big catch.

 

 

First of all, the nuclear weapons replicated through [Ah-heuk], are, after all, just Ah-heuk. In the end, the Harem Palace controls them, so Korea doesn’t really benefit more than having US troops put nuclear missiles in Korea.

 

 

And Korea is already a country that produces and deploys its own nuclear weapons, so it doesn’t really matter.

 

No, rather a minus.

 

Having nuclear weapons inside that cannot be completely controlled and can be arbitrarily controlled by another group can create unnecessary anxiety.

 

 

In this situation, is replication through [Ah-heuk] really meaningful?

 

 

As if reading that question, Sonya opened her mouth after a long time.

 

 

“If you’re thinking about ‘Ah-heuk’-i, I’d say no. We also have ‘Heuk-heuk’, which is literally a ‘real machine’, not a mecha life form. We’ll replicate with that. Of course, in an instant.”

“Heuk-heuk…?”

 

 

Is it a new series?

Just as I was thinking that, her words ‘real machine’ lingered in my head.

 

 

‘Real machine’ means that it is a product of ‘science and technology’, not something caused by ‘phenomena’ including ‘dungeons’ like [Ah-heuk], and if it is replicated through that technology, ‘complete transfer’ will also be possible through clauses such as ‘cutting off control from the Harem Palace side and providing it’.

 

 

 

‘Then that’s a different story.’

 

 

 

If we can completely control it on this side, we can put aside our worries about being out of control.

 

 

‘The problem is that this woman is unlikely to make a unilaterally good offer.’

 

 

That’s the key.

 

Isonya.

 

 

She’s definitely not a woman who would do something good for others.

 

Like everyone else, she must have come to this place to achieve her purpose, but the card she’s playing is too strong to see it as simply a message like ‘Please continue to support us as you have until now~’.

 

Replicating nuclear weapons.

 

You never tell people about things like this. You hide and do it secretly, and after it’s over, you threaten them by saying, ‘I have nuclear weapons. And I have overwhelmingly more than you.’

 

Even considering that Korea has been a global shield to some extent against the Harem Palace, it’s too strong of a card.

 

 

‘She sees it as more beneficial to inform us and provide it to us than simply having a large number of nuclear weapons… what exactly is that benefit?’

 

 

I watched Sonya quietly sipping her tea and picking up sweets, and fell into endless thought.

 

 

Then a shift in thought.

 

 

‘Yes… informing could be beneficial. For that woman.’

 

 

What if it’s not providing them secretly?

What if they publicly sign a treaty to replicate nuclear weapons and provide them to Korea, and announce it to Korea and the world?

 

 

Putting aside the benefits that Korea would receive, the Harem Palace would also gain enormous benefits.

 

 

 

 

Even now, there are people who show reactions such as ‘It’s okay because it’s Japanese’ and ‘Yeah, it’s okay’ about the bombing of the nuclear reactor, and if they secure a huge amount of their own nuclear power on top of that, support within Korea will definitely increase.

 

 

In addition, through the absurd act of ‘providing’ ‘replicated nuclear weapons’ to a ‘friendly group’, they spread the unprecedented shock (fear, dread) that they are a ‘group that can replicate nuclear weapons’ and at the same time deliver the message ‘You can also receive these benefits. If you treat us well.’

 

 

This will soon cause division and conflict in the opinions of countries around the world that were united, and the deeds committed by the Harem Palace will be buried in front of immediate interests and bait.

 

Securing support and fear.

 

 

In one word, it’s ‘awe’.

 

 

It’s not just about suppressing with force, but about inspiring ‘awe’.

 

 

 

Even up to this point, the benefits that the Harem Palace gains are immeasurable in terms of material things, but this is not all.

 

 

 

The move that Sonya is making now is quite different from the steps that the Palace has shown so far.

 

 

It’s different from Yoo-eun, not to mention Sora’s steps.

 

 

 

 

‘The only wife who didn’t become the main character at the last proposal ceremony… as a human being, she can’t help but keep that in mind. Whether it’s the person involved or the person who did it.’

 

 

She takes a different path from the steps she has taken so far and even twists Sora’s path. In conclusion, Sora’s purpose – to gain the world’s help to find Yoo-eun – will also be achieved, but Sonya will receive the spotlight.

 

 

Because she will make Yoo-eun a ‘revered being’.

 

And if you are a being revered by people, there is a representative symbol.

 

 

 

“You want to become a goddess, don’t you? With Yoo-eun-ssi.”

 

 

 

 

Sonya smiled slightly.

 

 

‘When he comes back, I should tell him to build a Korean-style palace.’

 

 

That statement,

I passed it off without much meaning, but looking back, it’s a hint to uncover her purpose.

 

 

If Yoo-eun returns to this world, he will see the Palace and his position that have changed significantly from before due to Sonya’s work.

And he will feel grateful to her and easily recall the memory of ‘not being able to join the proposal ceremony’.

 

Judging from Yoo-eun’s personality, he won’t just let it go.

 

He may hold a proposal ceremony just for her, perhaps even more grand and elaborate than the last one.

 

 

Even if he doesn’t remember, Sonya can say something like, ‘I went to the Blue House before, and it was big and beautiful. Let’s make something like that too. In Korean style,’ and he will have no choice but to remember. What he couldn’t do for her.

 

 

 

 

In the end, she gets the spotlight,

She gets Yoo-eun’s attention.

 

 

Korea and the Harem Palace will gain great benefits through this, but the one who gains the most is,

 

 

Isonya.

 

 

 

 

 

“How is it? Do you need anything else?”

 

Looking at her with a faint smile, the President said something without realizing it.

 

 

“You should be a politician?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wajak.

 

 

Ttal-kkak ttal-kkak.

 

 

Tudung!

 

 

A huge battleship unfolding on the screen.

A magnificent cannon sound is heard through the speakers, and nine cannonballs like sperm fly towards the enemy warship.

 

Unlike typical FPS games, the distance is in kilometers, so you have to calculate the time it takes for the shells to arrive and the speed of the enemy warship to make a lead shot.

 

 

“Ah, shit… no damage.”

 

Fortunately, the trajectory itself was accurately calculated, but thanks to the German warship’s shitty grouping rate, none of the nine cannons hit the enemy warship.

 

 

In the meantime, the armor-piercing shells fired by the enemy warship ridiculously penetrated three citadels, and the battleship, which was at full health, was sunk with a single shot.

 

 

“…What the fuck is this?”

 

In the game’s mechanics, the German battleship’s citadel is unlikely to be penetrated, but it penetrated that small probability. Three shots at that.

 

 

“Ha… should I raise a Yamato or something?”

 

Wasak.

 

 

A woman picking up potato chips on the left while leaving the port.

 

She has a balanced face and body overall, but she is plump in places.

Her shining beauty has not faded, but if someone who knew her in the past saw her, they would react by saying, ‘What? Why are you so fat?’ She has become quite plump.

 

 

 

 

Dalkak.

 

 

 

 

 

Just as I was seriously considering raising the Japanese tree, someone opened the door and came in.

 

A soldier with a slender yet voluptuous body, so well-trained that you can see muscles in places.

 

She strode up to the woman, who didn’t even look at her, and slapped her on the back of the head.

 

 

“Ah.”

“This is quite a sight. Clean up your room, you bitch. How long are you going to be like this?”

“Get out of here. I have to raise a Japanese battleship.”

“You’ve been thoroughly crushed.”

 

 

Eun-yul Ryeong picked up the beer cans scattered on the floor and said something.

 

 

“They found him. That guy.”

“…?”

“No, they didn’t find him, but they received a signal. Where he is in which dimension.”
