Cheong Wa Dae (Presidential Office) in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

President Choo Un-hee, who has been waiting for a hotline call with president Putin through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after losing contact for more than two years, told the interpreter who was waiting with her chief of staff.

" Interpreter Lee So-hee."

"Yes, President!"

"During my phone conversation with President Putin, please provide a literal translation."

In telephone conversations between two presidents, interpreters from each country frequently do not translate words that may offend either president's sensibilities.

"Yes. I'll translate it literally."

"Yes, please do."

After some time, the hotline phone lit up and a bell rang, indicating that the hotline between the two countries had been connected.

In response, President Choo Eun-hee confidently answered the phone.

"Hello, President Putin!"

- Good afternoon. President Choo!

"I can't say good. Because of Russia."

President Choo Eun-hee was determined and pushed hard from the start.

-Haha, we haven't talked in a long time, and yet you seem to have a lot of complaints about Russia? Okay. Let us hear your complaints that urged you to request a hotline.

"You're not asking because you don't know, are you?"

"Yes, I don't know."

"If you don't know, I'll explain it to you as if I was teaching an elementary school student."

-Oh, my God, that's harsh. I'm an elementary school student.

"Isn't it elementary school student psychology to turn a blind eye to what they know?"

- Well, Let's hear it.

"President Putin! Putting aside Kang's terrorist attacks, you did a lot for our country after Kim Jong-un awoke."

-What do you mean? I don't know what you are talking about.

"Oh! I see."

-What did Russia do to your country?

"You asked Kim Hyung-won, the National Labor Party's leader, to assassinate formal chairman Kim Jong-un, right? Then you used Jo Myung-rok to assassinate both Kim Jong-un and Kim Hyung-won."

-Oh, you're still talking nonsense.

"My story isn't over yet. You also used assassination terrorism to manipulate the state's overthrow protests behind the scenes through the far-right group. So, what did Russia expect to gain from this? "

-President Choo! Don't set Russia up.

"Did you say set up?"

Enraged by President Putin's constant denial, President Choo Un-hee rose from her seat and spoke confidently into the phone.

"We have gathered all of the evidence, as well as confessions from domestic participants contacted by Russia. But you're still going to refer to it as a setup."

-Heh heh heh, that's right, President Choo! The evidence and the confessions of people called accomplices who do I not know who they are... I'm feeling curious as well about it. But, as I said before, it has absolutely nothing to do with Russia.

President Putin kept his denial.

"Alright, I wasn't expecting much when I asked for a hotline. However, please keep in mind that we are not going to let this go."

-How dare you threaten Russia?

"If you heard it as a threat, then it's a threat. Change the course of the Far East fleet and bring it back home immediately."

- Oh, my God, you're telling me what to do with my country's fleet now?

"I'm aware that the Far East fleet is now headed straight to Hokkaido. So change its direction right away."

"President Choo! I'm not going to talk very long. Please do not obstruct the Far East Fleet. And put an end to the ridiculous slander and intimidation. Aside from that, two years ago, after the end of the Northeast Asian War, Korea decided to hand over Hokkaido to Russia. Therefore, I don't want to hear anything else from South Korea's president, who doesn't even respect international treaties. Now, our Russian forces will retake Hokkaido."

President Choo Un-hee, who had reached the conclusion that the conversation could no longer be held, lowered her tone with a slightly cold voice.

"Actually, President Putin, seems you don't hear what I'm saying. I knew from the start that you will not admit it and I expect it. I just requested the hotline to convey this information."

-So what is it?

"You'll soon be bowing your head in front of me, regretting today's conversation."

-Hahaha, will that day ever come? On the contrary, I believe that will be the day when you will be held responsible for framing me.

"I swear to you. Today we'll see who will bow his head to whom..... Finally, if the Far East Fleet approaches Hokkaido without changing course within the next hour, it will be considered as an illegal military operation, and the Far East Fleet will be buried in the cold East Sea."

-You're dreaming too much. How dare you threaten the Far East Fleet? You don't even stand a chance. So don't turn our young Korean friends into food for fish. As we are only attempting to get back our land.

"You'll really regret saying this. Then I'll hang up now."

- Hahaha, yes, thank you.

President Choo Un-hee, who hung up the phone, narrowed her brow and yelled obscenities.

"Sly boy!"

When the call was over, interpreter Lee So-hee, who had sweated because of the conversation, sighed with relief.

"Interpreter Lee So-hee!"

"Yes, President!"

"What do you think of Putin's mental state?"

"Oh! Based on my feelings, I think he was trying not to be enraged."

"Okay, good work. You can leave now."

"Yes, President!"

A little later after the interpreter left, the chief of staff, who was waiting next to her, asked.

"President, are you really willing to go to war with Russia?"

"Did you not hear the call? Even though I set up the hotline with a bit of hope, it didn't work, right? He demonstrates the high point of his shamelessness... Didn't you hear him as well?"

Chief of staff Lim Jong-won, responded by nodding his head.

"Chief of staff Lim! I am going to contact the Speaker of the National Assembly right now to submit a motion for war, so please ask him for cooperation."

"Yes. I'll contact him right away."

When Chief of Staff Lim Jong-won left the office, President Choo Un-hee, who was alone, sighed deeply after burying herself on the sofa, possibly due to exhaustion.

'Is this a wise decision for Korea's future? Should we take a step back and try to resolve it peacefully? Does it justice or people's safety that is prioritized?''

While all sorts of thoughts crossed the president's mind, her hand was holding the intercom phone.

- Yes, President!

she heard the secretary's voice over the phone.

"Please connect me to the Ministry of National Defense."

- Yes, I got it.

November 24, 2023, at 13:45 Russian time,

The Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.

President Putin, who had pretended to be relaxed on the phone with President Choo Un-hee, was actually suppressing his rage. As soon as the call ended, he threw the phone to the floor.

"How dare a woman speak to me in this manner without being afraid of Russia?"

President Putin, with his fiery personality, finally rose from his seat and stepped on the half-broken phone without remorse.

Paak! Paak!

President Putin, who had been stepping on the phone for quite some time, exhaled a long, deep breath to relieve his rage before turning around to sit in his chair. He then pulled out a Cuban cigarette and lit it.

Phew~

Cigarettes' distinctive white and dark smoke spread everywhere. At that moment, the sound of general secretary Ruslan Pimenov knocking was heard

"Mr. President! All department officials and military commanders have arrived."

"Really? good. Let's go then."

" I will guide you."

November 24, 2023, 14:30.

East Sea at 43 ° north latitude 18 ' 32.34 "136 degrees 8 ' east longitude 58.63" (the Far East Fleet) international waters.

Seven large nuclear-powered battle cruisers and eight destroyers escorted six landing ships in a triangle formation, while the Kirov-class 2nd and Far Eastern Fleet's flagship were at the center, Admiral Valerie Karpin, briefly rested and headed back to the bridge.

Captain Marat Izmailov approached him at that moment and handed him a small piece of paper. It was a security detail sent by the Moscow Navy a short time ago.

" Admiral, what is it about?"

Captain Marat Izmailov asked, and Admiral Valerie Carpin quickly read it and returned it to him, asking him to check it by himself.

"At the end, we're going with the original plan."

"What do you think?"

"What do you mean? Are you asking about the Hokkaido?"

"Yeah."

"As a soldier, I have never thought deeply about following orders from my superiors."

"Haha, you're a very upright soldier, indeed."

Admiral Valerie Karpin patted Captain Marat Izmilov on the shoulder before moving toward the Naval Instructor and giving the officer direct instructions.

"Connect the entire fleet."

"Yes, I did it."

"From now on, the entire fleet will apply a combat posture!"

"From now on, the entire fleet will apply a combat posture!"

The commander delivered Admiral Valerie Carpin's order to the entire fleet.

After a while, about 20 ships, including the flagship Admiral Lazarev (CGSN-181), were ready for battle, and the crew were busy with preparations.

At the same time, six Hocula destroyers from the 7th task force were approaching from the east, 300 kilometers away, blocking the Far East Fleet's path.

A naval battle between the Far Eastern Fleet, which possesses the most powerful punch of the twenty-first century, and the 7th Air Force, which has played outstanding roles in maritime warfare with China, Japan, and the United States, was approaching as a known fact.

East Sea at 43 ° north latitude 1 ' 50.32 "31 ° east longitude 139 ' 42.26" (the coin the term) international waters.

"Currently, the Far East Fleet is rapidly moving forward at a speed of 25 knots at 43°18'32.34" N latitude 136° 8'58.63" East longitude, and the distance from the main ship is 312km, and it will reach the engagement range after a while."

When the Naval Operations Command finally approved engagement with the Russian Far East Fleet five minutes ago. Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun was given a briefing on the Far East fleet by the operation officer on the bridge of the 7th Fleet's flagship Gwanghae (DDG-1001),

"Are we sailing in international waters?"

Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun, the 7th leader of the Dong-dong fleet, asked.

Two years ago, Ahn Hyeong-gyun , the brother of Brigadier General Ahn Hyung-woo, the 7th Commander of the 7th Panzer Division during the Northeast Asian War, was appointed as the Commander of the 7th Panzer after his brother.

"Yes, it's been about five minutes since we entered international waters."

"I see, Captain Oh!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

"You take command of the bridge. And I'm heading down to the battle command room."

"Okay."

Captain Oh Dong-cheol, captain of the Gwanghae warship (DDG-1001) and deputy captain of the 71st Dong Warfare, saluted Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun, who returned the salute, and proceeded to the battle command room with several lieutenants.

"Loyalty!"

Tactical Controller Kim Hyuk-min saluted the Admiral as he entered the battle command room, which had many display lights shining inside a slightly dark room.

"Good work."

Admiral Ahn Hyeong-gyun entered the combat command room and turned to a large screen that marked the Far East fleet on a digital map.

Approximately 20 watercrafts were sailing inexorably along the blue line, which had been chosen as the expected route.

"What's the status of the current submarine?"

"Eleven Russian submarines have been identified by Ares patrol satellites and various maritime patrol aircraft, and they are submerged outside the dangerous location. A Russian submarine that has been identified so far is marked with a red triangle. Six nuclear submarines and five conventional submarines are on the way."

A blue triangle was blinking on the digital map as tactical controller Kim Hyuk-min was explaining.
