Chapter 420: Season 2 – Part 17 Advance and Defense – 2-4 Defense!
November 26th, 2023 05:30 (Russian time 23:30),
25 km south of Kansk City, Krasnoyarsk Oblast, Russia (23rd Strategic Missile Division, Strategic Rocket Army).
A Russian strategic rocket that has a history of firing 55 RT-2PM TOEFL (NATO name: SS-25 Sickle), an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile), in all areas of Japan in accordance with a secret agreement signed with the Republic of Korea during the Second Northeast Asian War. In the 23rd Strategic Missile Division, 30 minutes ago, each missile regiment left each garrison and started maneuvering into a wide plain 22 km south of Kansk.
Ten mobile launch vehicles, 25m in length and moving on 16 wheels, made a rough engine sound and took their seats one by one in the lead position according to the signal of the leading armored vehicle and stopped maneuvering. Then, one by one, they began to erect the launch tubes containing the RT-2PM Topul (NATO name: SS-25 Sickle), each 1.9m in diameter, 21.9m in length, and equipped with three 550kt MIRV nuclear warheads.
A bright mechanical sound resounded, and a 23-meter long launch tube pointed to the dark sky where the only starlight was shining.
From the sky, 10 mobile launchers were located in two rows, 50 meters apart from each other.
Out of the six missile regiments, the 11th Missile Regiment’s network, which was the first to complete the launch process, was ordered to do so, and the operators were also tasked with tension following the orders.. A short time later, the 23rd Strategic Missile Division command headquarters sent specifications of the strike point.
<ul>
This is the Regiment commander. Send each launch vehicle the specifications of the strike point. The password release number is 331478 and each vehicle’s password is entered to release it.
artillery one check is confirmed!
artillery two check is confirmed
</ul>
The 10 mobile launch vehicle operators began to enter the strike point specifications by deciphering the ciphertext using the release number provided by the regimental commander and the unique number possessed by the commander of each launch vehicle. As a result, the 11th Missile Regiment reported its completion to the division headquarters after completing all preparations to immediately launch missiles in accordance with the final launch order. The remaining five missile regiments also reported their readiness to the division headquarters.
As a result, the 23rd Strategic Missile Division, which operates 60 RT-2PM TOEFL (NATO name: SS-25 Sickle) ICBMs, with five more missiles than two years ago, is preparing to turn the entire Republic of Korea into a sea of hellfire and finally was waiting for the launch order.

November 26th, 2023 05:30,
B2 bunker, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Namju (ROK Army Joint Command and Control Center Situation Room).
After drinking a tumbler full of the scent of black coffee, like it was draft beer, Deputy General of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Youn Gi-youn, opened his mouth while looking at the main screen showing the status of the Eastern Front in various symbols.
“I am relievednow.”
The Russian side of the Western Front, which was hit by dozens of plasma amplifiers to be processed by Blue Dragon bombers and Three-toed Crow space fighters, quickly retreated to the Mongolian border to live in a state of chaos. And the only Russian forces that were excluded from the bombing range were the 36th Vehicle Infantry Division, the 11th Panzer Division, the 27th Panzer Division of the Independence Army, and the 39th Vehicle Infantry Division, which lost 40 percent of its power.
As the 29th Army, which consisted of about a dozen, in the beginning, had been evacuating with triumphant power, the momentum was broken at once, and until a new order was issued from the 29th Army Command, it was in a state of transition from the existing occupied area to defensive tactics.
“That’s what I’m saying. It could have been more difficult than expected.”
Vice-Admiral Yang Min-choon, who formulates all operations and assists the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, answered with a long sigh. Then, Vice-Admiral Yang Min-choon’s shoulders were tapped once, Captain Youn Gi-youn smiled and continued with a subtle expression of ease and concern.
“Anyway, the urgent fire on the Western Front has been put out and we have completely taken control of the Eastern Front. I hoped that the thing that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who went to the Blue House, goes well.”
“Will the president approve?”
“Um, well, didn’t we just have to wait and see? Look. It’s been a while since he went to the Blue House, didn’t it? It doesn’t seem like it’s a good thing that he hasn’t come back yet.”
“Because the war can be long, shouldn’t the president also make a prudent decision? Anyway, Minister Kang also went as well, so it will be fine.”
“Okay, it will be fine just as Director Yang said.”
After the successful bombing of the Western Front, the Chairman of the Joint Staffs Shin Sung-yong headed to the Blue House with the Minister of National Defense. The purpose of the visit to the Blue House was to obtain approval for the operation to conquer Siberia, starting with Vladivostok, an extension of the operation to annihilate the triangle.
Tik! Tik!
This is the video communication of the director of overseas reconnaissance on screen 10.
At the same time as the operator in charge of communications shouted, on screen 10, Director Yoo Dong-hoon, the director of the Overseas Reconnaissance Bureau, appeared.
<ul>
Salute! It’s an emergency situation.
</ul>
Director Yoo Dong-hoon opened his mouth with a serious expression with a salute.
“Emergency? What is it?”
General Kim Yong-hyun, the current chief of staff at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asked the question.
<ul>
Yes, this is a video screen searched by Apollo 22.
</ul>
When Major General Yoo Dong-hoon finished speaking, the waiting operator manipulated the console and projected the video transmitted from the overseas reconnaissance bureau on the second screen.
On screen 2, 10 long mobile launchers were placed in two rows at intervals. Then, when the deployment was completed, the launch tubes were erected vertically one by one.
<ul>
Two years ago, it was identified as the 11th Missile Regiment, one of the subordinate units of the 23rd Strategic Missile Division of the Russian Strategic Rocket Army, which had a history of firing all over Japan. In addition, the other five missile regiments are in the same situation.
</ul>
Major General Yoo Dong-hoon gave a briefing directly through the screen, and the second screen was a split-screen, showing the rest of the missile regiments.
“What about the 23rd Strategic Missile Division?”
General Kim Yong-hyun opened his eyes wide and asked a question, but when information about the 23rd Strategic Missile Division appeared on the screen in detail, his words were blurred.
“I mean, these guys are really crazy. Are you saying that you are finally going to use a strategic weapon against us?”
Captain Youn Gi-youn fixed his gaze on the second screen and spoke with an angry expression.
“Is this a sign of an actual attack?”
<ul>
Yes, it looks like an actual attack sign.
</ul>
“Is the nuclear warhead arming confirmed?”
<ul>
As a result of ultra-high frequency scans from the Ares 5 patrol satellite, it was confirmed that all 60 were equipped with three nuclear warheads.
</ul>
“Haha, all 60 nuclear warheads? Does this mean a complete nuclear war?”
“By the way, the Overseas Reconnaissance Bureau is amazing. Pre-reconnaissance troops made up of mobile launch vehicles.”
In fact, there was a reason why the overseas reconnaissance bureau was able to reconnaissance signs of an attack by the 23rd Strategic Missile Division in advance before launching the missile.
Two years ago, when a missile was launched toward Japan, the location was exposed, and the overseas reconnaissance bureau was closely monitoring the area around the 23rd Strategic Missile Division 24 hours after the war with Russia broke out.
<ul>
Vice-Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff! This is not the only problem. After detecting the signs of an attack by the 23rd Strategic Missile Division, all available reconnaissance forces were mobilized throughout Russia, and as a result, two strategic missile divisions and three nuclear bases with open silo doors were detected.
</ul>
At the same time as Major General Yoo Dong-hoon finished his speech, the central screen flashed triangular red dots all over Russia.
<ul>
The 21st Strategic Missile Division, 16th Strategic Missile Division, 341 Nuclear Base, 505 Nuclear Base, and 102 Nuclear Base. In addition, it is judged that there are more strategic-level units that have not yet been scouted yet.
</ul>
“Hey, this isn’t unusual, it’s like these bastards are trying to turn the Korean Peninsula into a radioactive hell. Aren’t you supposed to report to the chairman right away?”
Captain Youn Gi-youn, who was looking at several screens alternately with an angry expression, expressed his anger by punching the bottom of his left hand.
“Yes, I should.”
Captain Kim Yong-hyun also answered unconsciously while keeping his gaze fixed on the screen.

November 26th, 2023 05:40,
An underground bunker at the Blue House National Crisis Center, Jongro-gu, Seoul, Namju.
“President! Please think over it again. This is a great opportunity to bring Siberia, a treasure trove of natural resources.”
Chairman of the Joint Staffs Shin Sung-yong strongly expressed his opinion. Then, Minister Kang Yi-sik, who was next to him, also fired support.
“Yes, that’s right. President! If we have Siberia, the future of Korea will be more prosperous. It is a pre-emptive attack by Russia, so even if we have Siberia, there will be no problem at all.”
“Even so, I do not want to escalate the war. Didn’t you tell Minister Kang in the first place? In this war, we want a war of defense concept.”
“Yes, you said so. However··.”
“Stop. Looks like it’ll be nothing more than haggling. Stop and go back.”
President Choo Eun-hee opened her palms and gestured for him to stop, then cut off Minister Kang Yi-sik with a firm voice.
“Ha! All right. President”
After persuading for more than an hour, citing various reasons, President Choo Eun-hee finally refused to approve the operation to conquer Siberian.
In fact, President Choo Eun-hee approved the war after a phone call with Putin before the outbreak of the war but demanded a defensive war from the Ministry of National Defense. In other words, it was intended to block the attack of the Russian army and demand a peaceful end to the war by approaching it diplomatically from an advantageous position.
The reason for this was that there was a lot of work to be solved at home and abroad. The first was the death of Kim Jong-un from a terrorist attack, and there were still many problems to be resolved. The second was the Kurdistan War of Independence. And the third was a serious SSS-class secret leak that could have a profound impact on the future of the Republic of Korea.
“Then I will head out of here now.”
At the time when the two middle-aged men were about to stand up at the words of Minister Kang Yi-sik, the door to the office opened and the chief of staff came in with a recalled expression.
“President! This is an urgent report from the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
For some reason, the report was reported directly to the president without going through the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chairman Shin Sung-yong.
“What’s going on?”
When President Choo Eun-hee, who had been suffering for over an hour, asked a tired question, Chief of Staff Lim Jong-won turned on the large TV mounted on the wall instead of answering.
On the TV screen turned on, the figure of General Kim Yong-hyun, deputy general of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was reflected.
<ul>
Salute! This is Kim Yong-hyun, deputy chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
</ul>
After finishing the salute, General Kim Yong-hyun turned his gaze to Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was sitting next to the president and said.
<ul>
It was an emergency, so I contacted the president directly. Chairman!
</ul>
“Okay. An emergency situation? What is it?”
<ul>
Yes, we are currently seeing signs of a nuclear missile attack in Russia. From what we know so far, there are a total of 300 delivery means, and the amount of power that has not yet been detected is expected to be significant.
</ul>
“Did you say nuclear missile?”
President Choo Eun-hee, who was relieved for a moment by the report that he had won all the battles along the border an hour ago, was quite shocked by the word of Russia’s nuclear missile attack.
<ul>
Yes, all missiles have been confirmed to be equipped with nuclear warheads.
</ul>
“So you mean 300 missiles with nuclear warheads, and possibly more?”
<ul>
Yes, it is. President!
</ul>
“Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff! Has the nuclear force response procedure been carried out?”
Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asked a question on behalf of the president, who was surprised and could not ask any more questions.
<ul>
Yes, Chairman! The nuclear force response procedure was immediately initiated. It is an urgent matter, so we apologize for reporting it after taking action in advance.
</ul>
“No. Great job! I’ll go back to the situation room right away, so let’s check the response procedure in real-time.”
“Yes, all right. Then I will end this report. Salute!”
Captain Kim Kim Yong-hyun, who once again saluted, disappeared from the TV screen. Then Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also got up wearing a hat and said to the president.
“President! We will head out too.”
President Choo Eun-hee said with a serious expression whether there was a change of heart when Chairman Shin Sung-yong, who rose from his seat, was about to take the gesture of salute.
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff!”
“Yes, President”
“Can we stop all Russian nuclear missiles?”
“Yes, of course. Don’t worry too much. President! Currently, South Korea’s CAMD system can prevent all countries with ICBMs from launching them at the same time.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
When President Choo Eun-hee, who gave a powerless answer, took an action as if hesitating for a moment, then Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was about to go out with a salute, waited in an awkward position.
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff!”
“Yes, President!”
“If you block all of Russia’s nuclear missiles this time, conduct the Siberian conquest operation.”
Shin Sung-yong, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had given up and was discouraged, his expression brightened at the unexpected approval.
“Th, thank you. President!”
“To do that, you must block all Russian nuclear missiles. Not even one flag should fall on the territory of the Republic of Korea.”
“All right. We will do our best to make sure that never happens.”
“Okay. Head out.”
