<h4>Chapter 430: Season 2 Book 17 Advance and Defense – 4-5 Conquest</h4>
On December 1, 2023, 15:10 (Hong Kong time 14:10)
The Hong Kong Special District of the Republic of China (Safety House of the Hong Kong Branch of the National Intelligence Service)
Team Four leader, Seong Sang-yoon, who was dressed in a white gown, took the two ck Tiger agents to the safe house in a semi-conscious state and interrogated them while they were still lying on the stretcher in what looked like an emergency room.
“What’s your name?”
“Guotao.”
“Riwigang.”
The ck Tiger agents, who were lying with their half-closed eyes, answered the team leader`s question in a slightly dim tone.
“Oh, Team Leader Seong, you’re so good at talking.”
Team leader, Park Gi-oong, who was watching through the monitor in the other room, said as he was a little surprised.
“He studied abroad at Peking University.”
The Second team leader, Youn Tae-jin, said while looking at the monitor.
“Peking National University! Our team leader, Seong, has a talent!”
“Be quiet and focus on the monitor!”
Director Lee Ja-sung quietly reprimanded him for continuing to speak during an important moment.
“What’s your real job?”
“ck Tiger, Hong Kong branch intelligence agent.”
“ck Tiger, Hong Kong branch intelligence agent.”
“What do you do in Hong Kong?”
“Collect information ording to the instructions of our superiors!”
“Take care of the Hong Kong intelligence agents.”
The second person to answer seemed to be the senior.
“Is your rank higher than his?”
“That’s right.”
“What’s your rank?”
“Second team leader.”
“Team leader Seong! We don’t have much time, so just start interrogating him!”
Director Lee Ja-sung gave instructions through the inte during the interrogation.
“Riwigang! What have you done in Hong Kong so far? Tell me in detail.”
“It’s only been four days since I came to Hong Kong, so I haven’t done anything special.”
“What does that mean? What do you mean it’s only been four days?”
“That’s what I said. I’ve only been in Hong Kong for four days.”
In response to Riwigang`s absurd answer, team leader, Seong Sang-yoon asked Guotao the same question.
“It’s been four days since I came to Hong Kong.”
“Then, what about the other agents besides you?”
“Everyone has only been in Hong Kong for four days.”
“Whoa! What about the previous agents?”
“They all went somewhere else.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know that.”
“Then, did you hear about what they did in Hong Kong while you were taking over?”
“I didn’t hear anything.”
“Do you know the identity of the agents you took over from?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t even know a name?”
Riwigang’s face and body flinched and wriggled at that moment. This reaction was the result of his attempt to lie. Team leader Seong Sang-yoon, who was aware of this, asked again, this time more powerfully.
“Riwigang! Tell me a name that you know!”
“I only know the name, Jjang Chun.”
“Jjang Chun?”
“He’s the team leader of previous agents.”
“Where did he go?”
“I don’t know. ck Tiger corps move as a team and know nothing about other teams.”
“Good! Where are the headquarters? Are they in Beijing?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know the location? Where did youe from?”
“I came from Tenjin.”
“Tenjin? Are the headquarters there?”
“No. It’s where prospective ck Tiger agents from all over the country go to train.”
“They are worthless. We don’t have much time left, so give them the medication, and send them to the hospital! We’ll be suspected if we’rete.”
“Yes, sir.”
Following director Lee Ja-sung’s instructions, team leader, Seong Sang-yoon, nodded slightly to the Team Four agents waiting behind him and approached the ck Tiger agents who were lying down. He then opened their mouths, tilted their tongues upward, and stabbed them with a syringe needle.
In less than a few seconds, the ck Tiger agents lost consciousness.
“There’s a city hospital nearby, right? Send them there as car ident victims!”
“Yes, all right.”
As the Team Four agents replied, they removed their white gowns, revealing the paramedic uniforms they wore inside, and they rushed to the ambnce with the ck Tiger agents who were lying on the stretcher, immediately heading to the hospital. Following their departure, team leader, Seong Sang-yoon, entered the next room.
“Damn! I was looking forward to it, but it’s aplete mess. Are they telling the truth?”
When team leader Park Gi-oong, who had kidnapped the agents, said something ridiculous out of rage, Director Lee Ja-sung tapped him on the shoulder and said.
“When you get that drug injected into you, you’ll reveal everything, starting with your childhood habit of peeing in nkets. Anyway, we now know about Jjang Chun.”
“The problem is that we don’t know where he went or any of his personal information, do we?”
Team leader, Youn Tae-jin, buried himself on the sofa and responded with a desperate expression.
“We have to find out that now. Why are you all so gullible? Have you only been doing this for a day or two? Everyone, gather around!”
As much as the expectations were high, the disappointment was great, but it was fortunate to know about Jjang Chun, who became their first clue.
Meanwhile, after arriving at the emergency room by ambnce, the Team Four agents pretended to be paramedics and handed the agents over to the doctors as naturally as possible.

December 01st, 2023, 15:30 (Kurdistan time 09:30)
Doubayazat Airport, Ariju, Republic of Kuristan
At the airport, the southern end of Dowbayaz, the headquarters of the Peace Unit and the base of the 30th Aviation Corps, various Korean military carriers and dispatched civilian aircraft had been taking off andnding nonstop since that morning.
Whenever military carriers and civilian aircraftnded, numerous troops poured out. These were the troops of the Airborne Ground Fighter Division, who had been urgently dispatched to carry out the mission of suppressing and policing the various horrors that were currently urring in various cities around the Republic of Kurdistan.
They boarded the transport armored vehicles that had been waiting for each battalion and each departed for the city where they would carry out their security missions. Following the transport armored vehicles, several transport trucks were carryingpletely sealed boxes.
The transport truck boxes were full of identification chips the size of a grain of rice that could be imnted directly into the human body.
The Peace Corpsmand center had been considering how to prevent the constant terrorist attacks in the various cities around the Republic of Kurdistan. The proposed n was to imnt an identification information chip in every Republic of Kurdistan citizen. This would help to differentiate citizens and foreigners instantly and to prevent terrorist acts in advance by strengthening foreigner monitoring.
Currently, the Republic of Kurdistan had been provided with an identity card. However, terrorists or enemy forces could easily steal them. For example, in the case of the car bombing in Soran, terrorists tricked the Republic’s garrison with identification cards that were stolen during the war and carried out terrorist attacks in the crowded market.
As a result, it was decided to directly imnt an identification chip into each citizen, rather than use an identity card. When the idea of the identification chip was proposed to the government of the Republic of Kurdistan, it was met with fierce opposition. It was argued that it was religiously iprehensible. In response, the Peace unit stated that the imntation of identification chips could be removed at the end of the war of independence. Besides, if terrorism could not be prevented in advance, the damage to citizens would increase and hence prolong the war of independence.
Under the persistent persuasion of the Peace Command Headquarters, the government of the Republic of Kurdistan, which had been struggling with the decision, finally epted the proposal.
Thanks to the identification chips, the Peace Unit and soldiers from the Airborne Army Division would be able to identify locals and foreigners instantly through the shield ss optical equipment mounted on their helmets.
Currently, deportation orders had been issued for all foreigners except Koreans in all territories upied by the Kurdistan Republic. The same was for recently upied Iranian and Iraqi territories, however, Iranian and Iraqi nationals could still be found in many cities.
The process of imnting identification chips into all 40 million citizens of the Republic of Kurdistan would be difficult, but if the transnt is sessful, it would be possible to prevent terrorism by easily identifying suspected terrorists.

December 1st, 2023, 17:30 (16:30 Russia time)
Outside divostok, Kray, Primorsky, Russia
When the 103rd Armored Brigade arrived on the outskirts of divostok after crossing the A-370 bridge safely, the 131st Mechanized Infantry Battalion, which had been maneuvering in front, gradually fell behind, and the 33rd Tank Battalion jumped forward and quickly spread out into a horizontal formation. Furthermore, the 536th Artillery Battalion’s C-9 Thunderbolt self-propelled howitzersunched 155-millimeter cluster bombs at the 33rd SS Armored Brigade, which was in an emergency outside the northern end of divostok.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Along with the loud roar, the long barrel continued to move and fire the artillery guns. After the first shot, each self-propelled artillery fired at a rate of six rounds per minute for three minutes. In the span of three minutes, 324 shells were fired.
A 155-millimeter cluster bomb fell over the T-90 tank belonging to the 33rd Anti-Crisis Brigade, which was preparing to perform a maneuver.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Earthen pirs rose several meters tall with the sound of a thunderbolt. A whileter, flying fragments collided with the T-90 tank, which was maneuvering with the sound of a harsh engine.
Papak! Papak! Papak! Papak!
The T-90 tank, which was hit by the fragments, had been damaged as a variety of optical equipment mounted on the outside became faulty, and its tank performance deteriorated. The turret shattered and flew everywhere, and massive mes erupted from the hull. Then, it exploded once more.
The 577th Artillery Battalion, which was stationed behind a building, attempted to save the tanks from the 33rd SS Armored Brigade, which was in danger of being severely damaged before the full-scale armored battle began.
The 536th Artillery Battalion fired the artillery guns, as did the 577th Artillery Battalion, which consisted of 2S3M Acacia self-propelled howitzers. Although it could notpete with the C-9 Thunderbolt self-propelled howitzer in terms of performance, the 2S3M Acacia self-propelled howitzer, was thetest improved version of the 2S3 ss.
The 536th Artillery Battalion stopped firing and immediately moved out of the camp as the 577th Artillery Battalion fired its artillery guns at the highest angle possible, using the building as a shield.
The T-90 tank of the 33rd SS Armored Brigade, who escaped the threat of artillery for a short time, increased their speed and entered a full-fledged armored battle with the C-2 ck Panther tank of the 33rd Tank Battalion, which was approaching quickly from the opposite side.
The tanks on both sides spewed fire from their muzzles as they got closer to within four kilometers of each other.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Sgt. Kim! Dodge to the right.”
Captain Oh Young-heon, themander of the 33rd tank battalion, which was maneuvering at the vanguard, saw the tank aiming its barrel at his tank and shouted at the driver, Sergeant Kim Tae-wan.
At the same time, shells were being fired at Captain Oh Young- heon’s 301 tank. It may have been due to the avoidance maneuver or pure luck, but the bullet missed andnded on the ground. In retaliation, Captain Oh Young-heon, who sighed briefly in relief, set the Russian tank as his target.
“Toward 2 o’clock! Distance 4,200, set target number 1! Sergeant Yoon! It’s our revenge. You know what I’m saying, right?”
“Yes, Tankmander! Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to smash it.”
Staff sergeant, Yoon Dong-won, aimed between the turret and hull of the T-90 tank, which had fired a de bullet from 4.2 kilometers away. The other parts were covered in reactive armors, lowering the chances of being hit, so he aimed for that gap. It was a difficult area if one didn’t have shooting skills.
Boom!
The de bullets that fired from the 125-millimeter gun prated between the hull and the turret.
Kwaaang!
The entire turret flew backwards as a result of the explosion. A dark red me erupted through the opening. The T-90 Tank appeared to slow down and eventually stopped. Soon after, the control room hatch opened, and the pilot, whose back was on fire, screamed and jumped out..
