I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 450: The Raging M1A1 (4117)

Parked on the road was an old M1A1 Abrams.

Wilson was a member of the 1nd Infantry Division of the Eighth Army of the United States. Although he was not a specialized tank soldier, he was familiar with antiques like the M1A1. He had driven an M1A on the battlefield of Babylon ten years ago.

Seeing the open front engine room door, Wilson, who had drunk a lot, was about to mutter who drove the tank here when he heard a voice that seemed to say something in his ear.

Wilson was in a trance, then drunkenly climbed into the front cabin of the M1A1.

"Hey! Wilson, what are you doing?"

Seeing Wilson climb into the front cabin, the curly-haired Latino colleague was startled and even sobered up. He just shouted and seemed to hear Wilson's voice: "Louis, have you forgotten? Major Campbell ordered us to drive this tank to Camp Humphreys."

Louis also felt a trance in his mind, as if he was possessed by a demon, and muttered to himself: "Yes, it was Major Campbell who asked me to drive this tank to Camp Humphreys."

As he spoke, Louis used his hands and feet to stagger into the commander's seat in the turret, while Wilson started the tank with a dull look in his eyes and rumbled out of the Longshan base.

But none of them thought that it was impossible for this M1A1 to drive to Camp Humphreys, which was more than kilometers away.

They also did not realize that they were not heading towards Camp Humphreys in the south, but rather drove onto the main road towards the West Gate five kilometers away.

There was an endless stream of cars on the main road. Huge vehicles weighing 70 tons were roaring along the road, rushing at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, rushing through the traffic, and causing chaos wherever they passed.

Amidst the curses, many vehicles that had been scratched or caused accidents due to the chaos stopped where they were, and a serious traffic jam soon formed behind the M1A1.

Many car owners even held up their mobile phones, cursing and filming.

The patrolmen on the road were sweating profusely, blowing whistles and waving their arms vigorously, but the M1A1 continued to drive towards the west gate as if it was completely unaware.

The emergency support patrol officers rode on motorcycles and could only follow closely while communicating with their superiors through walkie-talkies and cell phones.

Not to mention that this is a tank, they can't stop it at all. Even if they can stop it, they can't stop it.

This is Mai Jun!
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. In emergency communications, superiors also need to report upward step by step, and just tell them to follow up closely and report the situation at all times.

The patrolmen on motorcycles had no choice but to turn on their patrol horns and drive around the M1A1, making it look like they were clearing the way for the M1A1.

In less than ten minutes, the M1A1 left the main road and stopped at a newly razed construction site next to Deoksugung Palace. The police officers who followed it breathed a sigh of relief.

A policeman in his thirties wearing a helmet got off his motorcycle and hit the M1A1 hard with his baton, shouting in broken English, asking the people inside to come out quickly.

As for this M1A1, there was no movement at all, as if no one was operating it.

When the patrolmen were discussing whether to climb up and take a look, the turret of the M1A1 suddenly turned, and the gun barrel seemed to have adjusted to an appropriate angle and then fixed.

! ! ! ! !

what's the situation?
Before they could react, they saw a flash of fire at the barrel of the gun.

"boom!"
-

Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, No. 21 Jeongdong was still brightly lit.

This is the headquarters of NIS and the most important intelligence center in the entire Goryeo.

A silver BMW 530 slowly drove into No. 21. Kim Tae-woo, who was wearing a black suit, had a tall figure and looked like a Korean male star, got out from the driver's seat. When the two guards saw Kim Tae-woo, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Kim Tae-woo returned the greeting expressionlessly and threw his car keys to one of the guards. The guard took it, trotted into Kim Tae-woo's car and parked it for him.

"Master Jin, Deputy Director Xu is waiting for you."

After walking out of the elevator on the fifth floor, Kim Tae-woo just arrived at the door of the Deputy Minister's office when a young woman in her twenties stood up from her workstation and bowed slightly to him.

Kim Tae-woo nodded to the young woman and was about to walk inside when the young woman suddenly and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Mr. Jin, the deputy minister just got angry. You'd better be careful." The young woman said softly, with some worry in her tone.

Kim Tae-woo raised his eyebrows slightly and gave the young woman a look that said "don't worry". He walked to the door of Deputy Minister Xu Xun's office, first adjusted his suit and tie, and then knocked on the door.

"Domestic Affairs Department Level 5 Intelligence Officer Kim Tae-woo reports for duty!"

"Come in."

The voice coming from inside the door sounded a little old.

Kim Tae-woo pushed open the door and walked steadily into the inner room, where he saw an old man with gray hair and glasses who looked somewhat gentle. He was holding a putter and concentrating on aiming at the golf ball at his feet, trying to push the ball into the hole on the putting practice field.

The old man was none other than NIS Vice Minister Xu Xun.

NIS was originally called KCIA. It is an intelligence organization created by Goryeo based entirely on the structure of Xi'ai'e. Its Goryeo Network Envoy Group (VANK) has more than 120,000 members, most of whom are young people around 20 years old. 30,000 of them are located overseas, more than half of whom are in Da Zhou, mainly engaged in cognitive warfare.

Basically, every case of "cultural theft" by Goryeo that the Great Zhou was aware of was done by this organization.

With a "bang", the golf ball went into the hole and Kim Tae-woo clapped his hands in support.

Xu Xun put down the club, which was a little crooked. Jin Taiyu looked at the club and didn't do anything.

Xu Xun sat back in his seat expressionlessly and looked at Jin Taiyu: "I heard that you had a conflict with the Mai people today?"

Jin Taiyu's eyes flashed: "Deputy Minister, it was the people of the Mai Ba Army who first attacked our Seventh Aviation Communications Brigade..."

"Ah!"

"I asked you if you had a conflict with the Mai people!"

Xu Xun slammed his palm on the table and shouted, interrupting Jin Taiyu's explanation.

Jin Taiyu lowered his head, a hint of indignation flashed in his eyes.

It turns out that Deputy Minister Xu was born during the Japanese occupation period and is used to kneeling. Our great Goryeo country is now among the top three in the world in terms of military strength, one of the top four in the World Cup, and Kpop is popular all over the world. Whether in sports or culture, we are a recognized world power. How can we be so timid?

"What's that expression on your face? Are you not convinced? You should know how much pressure the Pentagon has put on us recently! The missile defense system is about to be laid, and you want to provoke the Mai people at this time?"

Seeing the veins on Xu Xun's forehead popping out, although Jin Taiyu still felt indifferent, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.

After all, Xu Xun and his family have a close relationship, and during the past few years at NIS, I have received a lot of care from Xu Xun.

"Deputy Minister, I can take full responsibility for this." Kim Tae-woo put his hands on the edge of his trousers and bowed slightly to Xu Xun.

Seeing Jin Taiyu lowered his head, Xu Xun's expression eased a little. He snorted, "You have to remember that you are the heir of the Jin family. You have to use your brain more when doing things in the future. The world situation is turbulent now. We are sandwiched between Mai Kingdom and Da Zhou. We must be more cautious. Do you understand?"

Kim Tae-woo is a member of Kim Jung-hyuk's family. Since sixty or seventy years ago, many family members of Kim Jung-hyuk have entered the National Assembly and many important departments. They have a significant influence in Hancheng and many surrounding constituencies. They are one of the most powerful people in Goryeo.

The corners of Jin Taiyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head again: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the Deputy Minister. I will seriously reflect on it!"

Xu Xun let out a long breath and scolded Jin Taiyu a few more words. Jin Taiyu saw that Xu Xun's anger had almost subsided and was about to say goodbye, but saw Xu Xun waving her hand.

"I called you here today for more than just this matter. You have been working in the Domestic Affairs Department for three years. If you want to make further progress, you need to have more practical experience and achievements. I plan to transfer you to the International Intelligence Department to perform overseas missions."

Upon hearing this, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but feel happy.

It is much easier to make achievements when being sent abroad than at home, and it is also more comfortable. With your level, no matter where you are sent, you will at least be the second or third in command. If it is some small place, you are more likely to become the person in charge and become a local lord. Isn't it better than being bullied at home?

Jin Taiyu raised his head, his face calm and steady: "Deputy Minister, I will obey all the arrangements of the hospital. I wonder where you are going to send me?"

Xu Xun adjusted his glasses: "Da Zhou."

really.

Kim Tae-woo felt relieved and couldn't help but smile.

Da Zhou, Wa and Mai are the three most important regions of NIS. Basically 90% of the expatriates are in these three regions.

Da Zhou is the most important region among them, even more important than Mai State.

According to the experience of past predecessors, it goes without saying that it is easy to make achievements here. The Koreans are extremely comfortable in the Great Zhou and have a very high status. The women of the Great Zhou like Korean men very much, and the Koreans are even more superior people here.

Xu Xun has been working in intelligence for so many years that he could tell what Jin Taiyu was thinking at a glance.

"Don't be too happy too soon. The Great Zhou is different now than before. In recent years, the Great Zhou has risen too fast and has surpassed us in many aspects, especially in the hottest field of artificial intelligence. The Great Zhou has even surpassed Maiguo."

Hearing Xu Xun say this, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Deputy Minister Xu has been kneeling for too long. He used to kneel to the Mai Kingdom, and now even a country like the Great Zhou has begun to kneel. He is really hopeless and is unworthy of being a citizen of our Great Goryeo Kingdom.

What's the point of overtaking on a curve? Wasn't it just by stealing our Goryeo culture and technology that they made a little progress?

"Deputy Minister, please rest assured. I know the people of Da Zhou very well. They are all very short-sighted."

As he spoke, Jin Taiyu couldn't help but reveal a trace of contempt and arrogance at the corner of his mouth: "No matter what aspect they have the advantage in, I believe that I can get everything we need from them!"

Xu Xun nodded with relief, but then his face turned serious. Just as he was about to say something, the red phone among the two phones placed side by side on the table rang.

Emergency call?
Xu Xun made a gesture to Jin Taiyu to wait, picked up the phone, and after listening to just two sentences, he couldn't help but frowned.

An M1A1 of the Mai Army is heading towards the city?

what's the situation?
Now there is no fixed moving time every day agreed upon by both parties.

Moreover, tanks are supposed to be used for freight transportation, so how can they be driven on public roads?

Or in the city?
Xu Xun was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a flash of fire a thousand meters away outside the window from the corner of his eye.

Before he could see clearly, he heard a loud "boom!"
At the same time, Building 6 on the top 21 floors began to shake violently, and all the glass shattered instantly!

not good!

Kim Tae-woo, who had received strict military training, fell to the ground subconsciously. The room was filled with smoke and dust. Several pieces of broken tempered glass shards crossed Kim Tae-woo's face with a strong impact, leaving several bloody marks.

Under the influence of surging adrenaline, Kim Tae-woo didn't feel any pain at all. After touching his body and finding that he was not seriously injured, he remembered to take a look at Xu Xun who was standing by the window.

"Deputy Minister!"

Kim Tae-woo took a closer look and couldn't help but feel furious.

Xu Xun was covered in blood, still holding the red telephone receiver in his hand. All the items on the large desk, including the phone, were scattered on the floor. A sharp piece of broken aluminum alloy was deeply inserted into Xu Xun's head, almost cutting his head in half vertically!

Kim Tae-woo's pupils dilated greatly and he could hardly believe his eyes.

How is this going?

Kim Tae-woo lay down and turned his head to look out the window. He saw that a three-story building less than 21 meters away from No. had collapsed halfway, and flames seemed to be burning in the billowing smoke.

That’s VANK’s office building!

What happened? Why did it explode?

Was it planted with a bomb?
No, it doesn't matter!

The important thing is, this place is too dangerous! I have to leave as soon as possible!

Kim Tae-woo staggered to his feet and was about to run out when he saw another flash of light a few hundred meters outside the window. Almost at the same time, the VANK building exploded again!
Kim Tae-woo seemed to see a shadow with flames at the tail piercing into the remaining ruined buildings of VANK with unparalleled speed.

"boom!"

A violent impact came again, and the huge shock wave pushed Jin Taiyu, who had just stood up, flying four or five meters and directly hitting the wall of Xu Xun's office!
It's a missile!
And it’s a fuel-air bomb!
This is the city center of Hancheng, how could there be missiles?!
Was it an attack from the north? How could there be no advance warning?

"Cough... cough... cough..." Kim Tae-woo leaned against the wall and coughed a few times with difficulty. Blood was flowing from all his orifices, and he could not hear any other sound except the tinnitus.

No matter what, we must escape quickly!
Kim Tae-woo endured the pain all over his body and crawled towards the door using his hands and feet.

Just at this moment, a flash of fire appeared again in the distance.

At this moment, Kim Tae-woo felt that time seemed to slow down. The fire, which originally lasted for less than a second, seemed to become slower and slower, and became larger and larger in his sight.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his body being thrown high into the air, and then he saw his legs and body being torn in all directions like rags in the shock wave.

No! ! ! ! !
I am the heir of the Jin family! I am the protagonist of this world! I can't die here!
And then, there seemed to be only an afterimage left in front of his eyes. The high temperature generated by the fuel-air bomb instantly burned his eyeballs and skin, and at the same time, his remaining consciousness was also burned.
