Chapter 92 – 11. Tokyo Panic.
11. Tokyo Panic.
Washington.
It is famous not only as the capital of the United States, but also as the headquarters of the dungeon cooperation organization D10.
All international laws related to dungeons are enacted here, and it is where all guilds and adventurers belong.
Regular meetings are held once a month, where future directions are decided or important matters are discussed, but today, a meeting was suddenly called.
Usually, when a meeting is held, the (A) level headquarters and (B) and (C) level branch heads gather, and the number is 15 in total, and they are actually the ones who lead the D10.
Level (A) is the General Manager of the Dungeon Cooperation Organization, (B) Level is Europe Branch Manager, Asia Branch Manager, Russia Branch Manager, China Branch Manager, US Branch Manager, (C) Level is Japan Branch Manager, Korea Branch Manager, UK Branch Manager, Italy Branch Manager. , Leader, Germany, France, South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
It is standard to fly directly to the headquarters by plane and attend, but now that the meeting has been urgently convened, we have no choice but to conduct the meeting via video, but the atmosphere is quite unusual.
“Can you explain how this happened? Mr. Kim.”
The gray-haired general manager asked the middle-aged man with a sharp expression.
The man who was perplexed and sweating cold enough to be felt even through the video opened his mouth carefully.
“Still… The details are under investigation… But what is certain is that not all the thoughts of the military were like that, and it was caused by the arbitrary judgment of Major Han Sarang.”
“A lieutenant commander?”
The man next to me (exactly from the side), the Asian branch manager and the Japanese branch manager, ha! And sneered.
“No, is Korea a country where a single major can point a gun at you?
“…Because of the revised military law and special provisions of the 7th Republic. The state is excessively restraining us and the adventurers.”
“Uh-huh. Isn’t managing it manager Kim’s job? I’ve been told by many people that we should work together with a closer relationship with our Asia branch! Isn’t that kind of a problem when you try to do everything by yourself while stretching out like that?”
“Huh. The Asian branch? Where do you see that the branch represents Asia? Isn’t that the Japanese branch? It’s too greedy to say that a branch representing one country will represent another country.”
“Greed! Undoubtedly, the Korean branch is an affiliate of the Asian branch!”
“If you think about it that way, the Chinese branch is also an affiliate, but honestly, isn’t the Chinese branch more influential? Don’t you know that it’s already nameless at that point?”
“No, this person!”
That’s what everyone who already knows.
In an organization, there is usually a hierarchical relationship between each organization. That is why it is divided into (a), (b), and (c) classes.
Nominally, the highest institution is the headquarters, followed by ‘continental chapters’ such as Europe, Asia, and South America.
However, the branches of China and Korea, which are the founding countries and key board members of D10, are so influential that they are incomparably stronger than those of other national branches, so they are virtually not under the leadership of the continental branches, and even other branches such as South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia It exerts equal or stronger power than the continental branch.
Among them, the Chinese branch, in particular, corresponds to level (B) despite representing one country, and is one of the three most powerful branches within the Dungeon Cooperation Organization, including the General Headquarters, the US branch, and the Chinese branch.
Given this situation, the Asian branch in Tokyo, Japan, is not actually serving as a continental branch, and is only doing things such as helping other member countries that have not been able to deal with dungeons and monsters on their own.
Even that is getting pushed aside by the rising OPEC branch these days. If this trend continues, within a few years the Asian branch will literally fall into the Japanese branch.
“Do it in moderation!”
A woman who was worse off shouted as if to shout at her.
She is obviously a middle-aged woman, but she is quite beautiful.
“How long are we going to keep fighting like that? Did we make time like this because we were free? Also, Asia, please follow Europe. The European branch is working fine, but why is Asia the way it is?”
“Where is Europe and Asia the same? We are—”
“War with each other? Didn’t Europe go to war? They were parties to World War II? They were divided into provinces and fought for hundreds of years. But we are cooperating with each other for the future and national interests, so let’s do the same in Asia.”
“荒谬绝伦! (How absurd!).”
The head of the Chinese branch shrugged his shoulders with an absurd face.
It’s a word that you spit out without knowing the proper situation. This is why Westerners can’t. It starts with the fact that they are superior and Asia is relatively inferior. So I didn’t like it.
After all, only the revival of the People’s Republic of China can save the world and save Asia! Even in such a trivial quarrel, he thought, the reason of all the world was contained.
Bang bang!
Together with the head of the US branch, the head of the general headquarters, who was the only one who was not a burner, struck twice with a hammer that looked like a baton.
“Let’s be quiet. Don’t we keep going astray?”
“Hmm…Hmmmm…”
The three Asian countries and the European branch managers are excited! I turned my head.
“Mr. Kim, this is a very, very serious and serious matter. We have to find out all the war situation as soon as possible and come up with appropriate countermeasures. Otherwise, the foundation we have built will collapse overnight and hand everything over to the state. I can.”
“…I know.”
The ‘Hannam-dong massacre’ committed by Major Han Sa-rang has already spread around the world through Korean media and social media.
People’s reactions were shocking.
In a country like Somalia, which is stuck in a corner, there are shootings and tanks are not shelling. In Korea, a member of the G20 OECD and a key member of the D10, the country’s armed forces directly used force against adventurers and guilds.
This gave a different feeling from what happens in developing countries where gangs or evil guilds predominate. In particular, the reaction in Korea was incredibly intense.
Public opinion is extremely divided, with some saying that Major Han Sarang should be put to death right away, while others say that the military did a good job of what the police couldn’t do.
The problem is that the spirit of Korean adventurers and each guild died because of this incident.
A crazy bitch comes out and fires at it without warning, and modern people can’t help but flinch.
If other countries see this situation and say ‘Huh? Is there any effect?’ What if you start to use the army to pressure the guild in earnest? Furthermore, what if the status of the dungeon cooperation organization is threatened? This is unacceptable for a D10.
“Then, please take care of this matter as quickly as possible at the Korean branch, and we will move on to the next item.”
For now, this story ends here.
It’s only been a day since it happened, and besides this, there’s another important issue today.
He looked at the Asian branch manager and Japan branch manager.
“As I said before, it is estimated that a Class B dungeon will occur in Japan in the near future. The place is Tokyo…The Imperial Palace.”
“Well…”
The Japanese branch manager groaned.
The Imperial Palace is where the Japanese emperor lives. Well, now he’s a meaningless human being, but he’s still a symbol of Japan. It was nonsense that a dungeon would occur here.
“As you know, it’s the first time in the history of the world that it’s a B-class. I don’t know how strong it will be. However, I think that a D-class dungeon blew away a ‘gob’, and a C-class dungeon blew away a quarter of a megalopolis. When I did…”
The headquarters manager swallowed.
“In the worst case, Tokyo… No, the Tokyo area could collapse. And that would mean the collapse of Japan.”
“…We have to prepare thoroughly.”
The head of the Japanese branch with a hard face.
In fact, the creation of a high-level dungeon is no different from a national celebration. The Manhattan Dungeon, which blew up a quarter of New York, was an example of this. In one year, it generated profits that were more than enough to repair the damage caused by half of New York City collapsing. Class C should be like that, but if it’s class B, there’s nothing more to say.
However….
That should be enough…
Japan’s metropolitan area, or Tokyo area, itself has a GDP of about $1.6 trillion. It is almost the size of Korea’s economy. And it is the center of Japan.
If Tokyo collapses, it means that Korea’s economic power in the international community will be wiped out, and furthermore, related Japan will be destroyed.
There is no need to talk about the world economy after that.
The world is ruined because of dungeons, there are a lot of words, and just a year ago, a quarter of New York, and Manhattan at that, were blown away and stumbled.
“Chief, please somehow persuade the Japanese government to open the Imperial Palace to us. ‘Everything’, not even places that are allowed to civilians. Then we can help. And Mr. Kim, the role of the Korean branch in this situation is It’s very important. It’s the closest geographically and has a strong adventurer force and army.”
“Old, military? Are you saying that we should bring Korean troops into our country now?!”
“Tokyo could collapse in a few days, so does that matter now? From our point of view, it’s not good for the army to suppress dungeons forever. But it’s worse for Tokyo to collapse. That’s why I’m telling you.”
“Hmm… Dispatched troops…”
“It’s nonsense!! We have the Self-Defense Forces and the US Army. Our adventurers are stronger than Korea! But why!! Do we have to use the Korean army!!”
“It’s not just the Korean troops going. It will take some time, but the US and UN troops will go with them, and all the troops in the vicinity will help Japan. And so will the adventurers and guilds.”
I calmly tried to persuade the Japanese branch manager, but he just went on a long road and couldn’t accept it at all.
“Absolutely not! No, this is not a matter of being me!! The Japanese people will never accept it! Korean soldiers!!”
“It’s Mr.”
“It doesn’t matter if you come as a member of the UN military, but Korean troops will never be accepted!”
“Calm down, Ishida.”
I expected it, but the reaction was more intense than I expected.
“Ishida. Will you come to your senses when Japan perishes?”
“…”
“It is enough for a city to collapse and a country to perish by overwhelming power, right?”
“…!”
“It will be difficult for Korea, but it is for the sake of the world. And we need to help while we can afford it so that we can get help when we experience the same disaster.”
“Fuu… Let’s try.”
“It was Gangnam in Korea… I heard that a guild that unified D-class dungeons appeared.”
“You mean the harem.”
“I hope you ask that guild as well. We have to stop Tokyo from collapsing with humanity’s full power.”
