Chapter 1864 – [Presidential Emperor]

Military supply corruption is thoroughly investigated as it ultimately involves the national budget and taxes. If this were the United States, lobbying would be legal, so the deal won in that way would be legal, but whether it’s unfortunate or fortunate, this is Korea.

If you spend a lot of tax money, you have to pay the price. Even if it means eliminating the company entirely.

Then, there will be troublesome issues like job loss and economic problems, but Zion will take care of that. Wouldn’t it be possible to leave most people as is, replace only the person in charge, change the name, and then run it properly and turn it into a healthy company?

Companies, military executives, politicians, etc., Who expose corruption in military supply, get caught. It’s not a fish caught in the prime of season, it’s just like sausages, so it’s a good harvest.

“At least, there is no problem because the members of the National Assembly, who are at the highest level, have searched for everything. Those who were mainly responsible have died and paid for their sins…”

“It’s so shitty that I should at least act as a deputy. I should put those bastards’ names on the government website and let them know how much money they made.”

“And speaking of that, the money that was clearly in the name of the member of the National Assembly was inherited by the bereaved family.”

“But?”

“I have a slush fund or something like that sets up overseas under a different name, so I’m thinking of putting it into the national treasury.”

“Of course it should be. Isn’t that tax after all? Let’s see… Wow, I’ve done a lot. I won’t have to worry about the budget for a while.”

It was a strange situation to talk about a member of the National Assembly who died while trying to reform the military, but it was still a statement of my will. At that point, the military supply company voluntarily reported it and hoped for leniency.

However, it wasn’t just like that, it was aimed at having Eve, an artificial intelligence judge, reduce the sentence if one surrendered, thinking that there would be some room for reflection. Still, it was much better than not doing anything.

“No matter how much you surrender in hopes of reducing your sentence, it is better than not doing anything.”

“That’s right. Rather than confiscating the faces and wasting time investigating those bastards, it would be better to accept those who surrender and deal with them.”

If you ask which is better between the worst and the lesser evil, of course it is the lesser evil. No one deliberately chooses the worst.

Similarly, if you were to ask who was better between those who didn’t turn themselves in and those who surrendered hoping for a reduced sentence because they were afraid of punishment, the latter was better. Therefore, I plan to create a society where people can avoid committing crimes as much as possible, or where people can turn themselves in if they commit crimes.

Anyway, that’s how the military-related matter was handled. There were a lot of bastards who were dishonorably discharged and going to jail, so I asked Keter because I didn’t have enough space, but anyway.

“We need to build a prison, so we need a big island…”

[Tonight is steamy. Okay?]

“I guess I need to use some strength for the first time in a while.”

Oh my god!!!! He became a president who works even at night… Oh, it’s true that hundreds of thousands of people work as Prime Minister because of Korma.

Still, thanks to Keter, there were no problems there. Normally, if you want to build a prison, you have to pay attention to people who have low land prices nearby, and it is difficult to find a place, but if you build it on an island, there is no such thing. Even more so if the island moves.

However, there was another problem. Although it was slightly different, it was a similar problem in the end, and it was easily solved.

“It is absolutely impossible to anchor Kyodo Island in the waters off our coast!!!!!”

“Better kill me!!!!”

“Okay, then Isla Nublar Island. So I won’t dock on Jurassic Park Island. Other places may benefit from it, but you don’t benefit from it.”

“Oh, no, wait a minute. That’s not it…”

“There is a level of selfishness. You want to see the gains and not the losses? Does the world work only for the gains? Or do you just want to be left behind? I’m so fucking angry.”

Rather, it was not built in one place but rather a moving island, so the surrounding land prices did not drop. Since there is more time not docked at the port than the time it is not docked, it does not have a significant impact on land prices, and while it is docked, nearby facilities and self-employed people can benefit from visitors and such people, like soldiers out for a night out.

… Oh, now that I think about it, there’s that problem too. Those idiots who make profit near the military base.

“I need to punish those bastards too. I’m going to introduce species that disrupt the ecosystem, so please help me.”

“After purchasing a building near a military base or something like that, we will provide services for PC rooms and restaurants at a reasonable price. This will be the end of the gutsy business.”

Sometimes, when I went out for a night out, I was shocked to see how many hundreds of thousands of won it would cost to rent a room or a pension, so I just stayed up all night in a PC room. But the PC room was also more expensive than a regular PC room… So it was fucking shit.

No, are you going to rip off the kids who are wasting their youth and suffering because they have nothing to rip off from? So these days, instead of going out on the weekends, you spend your time using your cell phone, right? Even though it’s better outside than the military, why would you want to spend your time in the military?

I will take my time to deal with that too. I can understand making a small profit, but making profit… Even though it is ultimately meaningless in the long run.

In this way, the military gradually undergoes reform. It may take time because it is a very closed and large organization, but I was able to handle it somehow within my term.

Even if my approval rating drops by half in the last year of my term, it is still at the level of an average presidential approval rating, so it was enough for me to continue working until the end of my term. I should be ready to retire by then, but anyway.

And by that time, the phantom guy was also preparing to come as I said before. Of course, it won’t happen right away, but it will take a few months and come next year.

[Have you prepared to receive guests?]

“This bastard with four mothers is trying to fuck me?!?!”

[Hey!!!!! Don’t do pad lip!!!!!]

“It’s a factual pad lip!!!! That’s four of your moms!!!!!”

[You should just go and make it so fucking annoying, you bastard!!!! Look forward to it!!!! Because I’ll bring a lot of things worth going through!!!!!!]

“… Hey, other things are fine, but don’t just come out as the Great Demon King. If you do that, it’ll be even more bothersome.”

[Okay, I’ll take a look at that. Honestly, dimensional civilization or the existence of the Great Demon King itself is a big issue.]

The Shenless civilization is active here, but apart from that, there has been no talk of me being the Great Demon King. At most, they just talk about the setting of Garden of Eden, but in fact, they treat it half as a joke.

If there is a reason why so many people can be silenced, even if it is only about one city, it is because of the presence of the Great Demon King. What fool would want to antagonize a human being who, if he is wrong, can destroy his civilization not just through work but also through his personal feelings?

Ironically, since they are from a dimensional civilization, they know better and keep their mouths shut. On the other hand, there are fools who don’t know that a one-day puppy tiger is scary and attack me without knowing who I am.

People on the Shenless side will probably rebel against me and be horrified and distance themselves from people who do that. Any crazy person who doesn’t know what a lion is and runs wild in front of it and provokes it would do the same.

[Anyway, I’ll be going soon. I’ll let you know the detailed date later, so I’m preparing for now.]

“It’s going to be noisy because of you guys next year. Okay, I’ll be ready, so at least bring me a gift.”

[How about a fragment collision energy generator?]

“Is something going to blow up the Earth?!?!?!”

The ether that makes up Hanon’s body is the smallest unit of physical law. And fragments, the smallest unit of dimension, like spirits, the smallest unit of the soul, are the hardest substances in the world.

The fragment collision energy generator created by colliding the two boasts an excellent energy production ability that is useful even in dimensional civilizations and is even used as a main power source. I wonder if it is installed on Horizon or Cherub.

However, as it is a dimensional material, there is a risk of dimensional collapse if collected too much, so it is strictly managed. If I were to give it to you, I would normally be grateful… But on the other hand, the risk is also high.

If a single nuclear power plant fails and humanity ends up being destroyed, it is no exaggeration to say that if the fragment impact energy generation device is damaged, even one star will be lost. The space is torn, and if you make a mistake, you will be sucked out by a pressure difference, as if the wall of a spaceship or airplane in flight has burst…

[We will dispatch the manpower to manage it, and you will be there when necessary.]

“Well… That’s true.”

[Honestly, with their staff, they can cover it even if a problem arises, right?]

“… Huh?”

[Then you can give it to me.]

I’m also a rod, so no matter how tough I am, I can prevent damage by pressing down on a torn dimensional piece in an emergency. And there are people like Shion and Mary who can restore torn dimensions and such.

Even if something happens later, it will be possible to cover it. I think that if we only receive a medium-sized fragment collision energy generation device, we can use electricity in abundance without worrying about environmental pollution in Korea.

Lowering your electricity bill would be a good thing. There may be something to export electricity in the future.

“I understand for now. Just let me know the date later. I’ll just be preparing in advance.”

[Okay, see you then.]

The phantom guy is coming, so you have to get ready. The Shenceless civilization may have been prepared to some extent because it was announced in advance, but Earth and Korea did not do anything, so all they have to do now is announce it and prepare.

Of course there is plenty of time. It doesn’t come tomorrow, and even if it comes early, it will come early next year. We have several months, but it is too much time to prepare.

First, we gathered not only the family members we already knew, but also people from each department who would need help in preparation. Since the Dark Lord Castle is scheduled to be anchored off the coast of Incheon, the mayor of Incheon must be called, and a related budget must be prepared. In addition, even though it is not necessary, executives from the Coast Guard or Navy have also been called for security and public order issues.

“A civilization on a different level from the Shenreth civilization will visit us early or mid next year.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“What kind of civilization is it? The size and such…”

There was a reason why I brought them together, and maybe because they had already experienced it once with the Shenreth civilization, they were shocked and didn’t react that way. Well, if you accept it well, that’s fine.

Anyway, I introduced various things about the dimensional civilization called Dark Lord Castle that I will visit next year. It’s easy to find it by organizing it and bringing it… Ah, but that doesn’t mean I wrote down the extent of the military and to what extent.

“First, it is no exaggeration to say that the Dark Lord Castle, which we will visit next year, is the leader among the dimensional civilizations. If the Shenreth civilization is a member state of the United Nations, then the Dark Lord Castle is as different as a permanent member of the UN.”

“Yes?”

“Originally, the forces of a single dimensional civilization cannot be defeated even with all the might of the Earth, but when it comes to the Dark Lord Castle, it is not a match in terms of quality or number because it has so much technology and troops as well as transcendents. And the Demon King Phantom who rules the Dark Lord Castle. He is a powerful transcendent that even I can’t defeat.”

“Yes?!?!”

“No, President…?!”

Why are you surprised there? The world is wide and there are many strong people.

When I suddenly think about it, I may be surprised that a transcendent stronger than me has come in a situation where there was no transcendental person comparable to me even in the Shenless civilization. A frog in a well might think that all is well when it sees a stream, but it will be astonished when it sees the sea instead of a lake.

The expressions on the faces of the people gathered there become serious. I realized that it wasn’t just a matter of planning the US president’s visit to Korea.

“Dark Lord Castle is a non-siege type dimensional civilization. Please keep in mind that a small country-level flying island will be anchored off the coast of Incheon, so you will need to guide nearby fishermen when you visit. You will have to rest for a few days, but if necessary, you can pay compensation from your budget. We will provide it.”

“Well, I understand.”

“This issue will not be made public yet, and at best, it will be announced early next year. If we announce it early and the story gets out, there may be other troubles such as interference, so let’s prepare quietly.”

“Yes, Mr. President.”

Talking about this and that, giving instructions… There’s a lot to do. There are things that have piled up already.

Still, it’s okay because it’s not something that happens right away, and it’s something that just takes time. However, in the meantime, we need to do some internal crackdowns to avoid showing strange behavior to the phantom guy.

No, I’m not a manager who makes kids who are well rested on holidays clean because the division commander is coming, and I don’t intend to make the people suffer for no reason, but apart from that, we need to solve social problems. He is a great demon king who presides over society, but what should he do if the country he manages is troubled by social problems?

… Honestly, more than being embarrassed about not being able to do my job, I’m more upset because I think that phantom bastard will laugh at me when I see that.

Why is it that when a friend calls me an asshole, I don’t react much, but when I hear that the game is crap, I feel like I’m going crazy. Even though he is the Great Demon King who presides over society, he only needs to know what a right society is and be flexible and understanding. There is no need to have the ability to create a truly right society, but whatever.

“Originally, all you need to be an examiner is the ability to see, and you don’t need to be good at anything else.”

“It seems like he would laugh at it even though he knows it. He has more political experience, right?”

There must be a lot of work to do. Since the budget cannot be made public yet, only a part of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance should inform the use of the budget and deliver it to each department that needs it… Kwaaaaa!!!!!

There’s a lot of work to do right now, so why does this phantom bastard come and create more work!!!!!

Just try this bastard!!!! I’ll give you a big fuck!!!!!
