Steel Rain Page #7

---

The rest of the world is thrown

into panic,

and yet, we have time for a cup of coffee.

This is one hell of a nation, isn't it?

May I?

All I can do is just pray

that your people will eliminate

the counterattack ability of the North

or that...

they'll retract their declaration of war.

I heard that Gwang-dong Park

has joined hands with Cheol-min Choi.

Cheol-min Choi?

I also found out that he was the one

who leaked our coordinates.

We should get rid of him right away.

Don't bother.

Pyongyang is our priority now.

As soon as we get into Pyongyang

and declare ourselves as the new leaders,

he'll probably take his own life.

Just leave him be.

What are you waiting for?

Will you shoot me or not?

Soldiers mustn't be that indecisive.

Do you have something to say?

I just guarded Pyongyang

as per the command I received.

From whom? That's what matters.

Where's the detonator?

The code generator.

There should be two.

The leader keeps

the other one on him at all times.

Are you saying

retracting the declaration of war

can stop the nuclear strike?

Our priority is getting them

to retract it at all costs.

Without that,

we can't even try to stop it.

Give me my phone.

You have many missed calls. Is Tae-han Ri

number one on your speed dial?

Chief. It's me, Cheol-u.

American nuclear bombers

are on their way now.

If we retract the declaration...

Pardon?

Yes.

I'm at a hospital now.

Guards? Just one now, sir.

A watch?

What kind of watch?

Yes, I remember.

The Leader was wearing it.

No, I don't have it,

but I know where it is.

Then, whom should I meet and where?

Okay. Got it, sir.

Call in the hackers.

What's wrong? What did he say?

He said he already heard

about the nuclear strike plan from China.

He also said that they were going

to retract the declaration anyway.

Oh, I see.

By the way,

why did he ask you about a watch?

And whom are you meeting?

He was talking about our leader's watch.

He wants me

to return to the North with it.

That watch.

It's a code generator

for nuclear missiles.

Did you know that?

All the sanctions against us...

made this attitude spread in our army.

"Using the nukes will kill us...

but maybe it's better to use it if we're

all going to starve to death anyway."

Hence, the military devised

a last-resort strategy.

They decided to use Seoul

and the US Armed Forces in Korea

if they can't use the nukes

to negotiate with the world.

What does that mean?

If we set off a nuclear rocket

over Daejeon,

STRIKE PLAN ON SOUTH KOREA

all communication equipment

in the South will burn,

and all of your cutting-edge weapons

will be turned into scrap metal.

While that's going on, 250,000 soldiers

from our special forces will seize Seoul

and capture US soldiers.

Then, the US will have no choice

but to negotiate with us.

Our military thought

that it's the only way...

to protect our country.

But...

our leader didn't implement the strategy,

and some military authorities grumbled.

They criticized him and said that...

he, like his predecessors,

intends to use the nukes

to maintain his power

and not for the Republic.

There's this saying.

"People of a divided nation suffer more

from those who use the division

for their political gain...

than the division itself."

Telling me to bring the watch...

It means that he'll carry out the plan.

How long will it take?

I'll have a better idea in a bit, but...

I guess about three months?

How old are you?

-I'm 19 years old, sir.

-You're 19?

I see. Maybe you're too young to know.

I'll explain.

Attention!

Two decades ago,

three million people died on this land.

How? They died of starvation.

But you know what? That did not stop us

from making the nuclear rockets.

Now, they're all ready to be launched.

If you guys can't break the codes,

it means that the nukes

are basically useless.

How ridiculous is that?

If I were one of those American bastards,

I would never miss this opportunity.

Three months?

All right.

The Americans will kill you anyway,

so you should just die now.

Cracking the entire system

will take about three months,

but if I tackle each digit at a time,

I should be able to do it in a week, sir.

I'll give you one day.

Yes, sir.

China is fuming.

They want us to retract the declaration

as the nuclear bombers are on their way.

It'll be announced soon.

And...

We now know where it is,

so send our guys there.

Salute. May I see some ID, please?

-We're from Security Service.

-Open the gates!

-Attention.

-Salute!

At ease.

ARMED FORCES CAPITAL HOSPITAL

The Supreme Command of

the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

nullifies Gwang-dong Park's

declaration of war

and suggests talks

with the Republic of Korea

in order to ease the tension

in this quasi-state of war.

The president called for you, sir.

We presume that it's North Korea.

Please stay in the bunker

until the situation clears.

Team One and Two, to the Blue House.

Get in!

-Yes, sir!

-Yes, sir!

What? The Blue House was attacked?

By who? How bad is it?

You don't know?

It's a decoy.

This hospital is their real target.

Get ready.

Stop! Stop right there!

-What's going on?

-It's an emergency.

Only authorized personnel can go in now.

He's injured badly.

He'll die if he's not treated right away.

-Corporal Kim, go check.

-Yes, sir.

ARMED FORCES CAPITAL HOSPITAL

The rooftop, all clear.

The front gate, clear.

ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Move in.

It's a grenade!

Flash!

Bring all the bodies!

Don't move!

Drop the gun!

INTENSIVE CARE UNI You can come out now.

Come on, let's go.

-Please move him and finish the surgery.

-Yes, sir.

This way.

I'm from National Security.

He's with us! He's been working with us.

It's okay.

Are you all right?

Where's our leader?

He's being moved to another hospital.

Confirmed dead...

Sit down.

This shows that they're determined

to start the war no matter what.

Use me as bait.

I'll go meet with Tae-han Ri.

Put a location tracker on the watch

and give it to me.

Then, bomb my location.

Sir, we have accessed the first one.

Prepare to launch it.

China says that the information they're

about to give us might put them at risk

of exposing their intelligence network

and their top-notch technologies

which took them 20 years to build.

They would like us

to remember their kindness

and our blood alliance with them.

They're obviously doing it to humiliate

the US through us. How obnoxious.

Give me that.

Deliver this message.

North Korea and China

are brothers that have been

fighting against Japan

and the US together...

and we will always remain brothers.

North Korea will never forget this favor.

Sir, this isn't Daejeon.
