Chapter 276 A Dark Plan (1)
Japan branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd.
Director Kazuki, who is in charge of all Japanese users' services, asked back without hiding his embarrassment when he received a sudden call from President Lee Mi-yeon.
“That... what does that mean? The Shōen Empire could suddenly perish?”
[It doesn't mean that it will happen necessarily, but it can happen, so you should be prepared.]
She suddenly calls and says that the Shoen Empire, one of the two powerful empires and the main axis of the Japanese continent, is going to collapse. Although the reputation of the Black Pirates had suffered a little damage recently, Governor Kazuki couldn't believe her words when she warned that the country could suddenly perish because it was still a nation that boasted a mighty and mighty military power.
“I checked the data of the main scenario called ‘Cruel Times' sent by the president... but the possibility of it still manifesting is very low at 1.35%, and even if the scenario actually manifests, it is unlikely that it will develop into a major crisis on the side of the Shouen Empire. It is judged to be.”
The Shōen Empire has not yet decided on a war yet, and opinions are divided internally, so no clear trend toward war has yet been detected. Therefore, the possibility of starting the main scenario that Alice judged was extremely low, and even if a war broke out there, it would not be bad for the Shoen Empire.
“If the scenario proceeds as expected here and the war spreads, wouldn't the Gael Federation ultimately end up being taken over by the Shouen Empire? According to Elise's prediction, the Shouen Empire would rather benefit, not a scenario where they would lose money, boss.”
Alice can create hundreds of millions of predicted scenarios and derive the most likely outcome accordingly. Looking at her data, Governor Kazuki questioned, and Ellis intervened in the conversation between the two.
[Please consider that this scenario is the result of minimal user intervention. Since the variables of all users cannot be substituted, the progress and results of the scenario may differ greatly from current expectations.] Unlike
before, a super-large main scenario in which billions of users have no choice but to be involved. That's why Elise predicted the outcome of the scenario in the best possible way, but that gave Governor Kazuki false confidence.
“How much stronger will the influence of the Shouen Empire be if players are added to it? I don't understand why you say that the Shōen Empire can be destroyed.”
Rather, branch manager Kazuki looks at President Lee Mi-yeon on the screen with suspicion as if she is plotting something. To his words, President Lee Mi-yeon replied with a tired face.
[That's something I can't say. However, if the Shōen Empire starts a war, the result could be catastrophic that we can't help it, so please be aware of that. If the Shōen Empire perishes, please come up with a basic manual on how to deal with it.]
President Lee Mi-yeon, who seems to be certain that the Shōen Empire will perish. To her words, Governor Kazuki replied with a smile that gave off a sense of ridicule.
“Okay, boss. That won't happen, but if you want, I'll pass it on to the relevant departments so they have basic guidelines ready.”
[yes. Please do that.]
President Lee Mi-yeon sighs resignedly and nods in agreement. Seeing her like that, Kazuki said with a triumphant face.
“Then I’ll be off to do my job, boss. It's because the Japanese government has become very interested in virtual reality devices these days. I guess I should get ready to go to dinner with the Minister of Education.”
Japanese consumers are obsessed with virtual reality.
Originally, they were interested in imaginary content such as games, novels, and cartoons, so they began to fanatically fall in love with Arcadia and other virtual reality content that began to emerge little by little.
- Explosive popularity. Japanese people are fascinated by virtual reality.
- Active in fostering the Japanese government's virtual reality industry. The goal of dominating the market with a preemptive offensive.
- Large-scale investment by Japanese companies. Virtual reality systems are rapidly being introduced.
-Concluded a supply contract with the Japanese government of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The scale is 300 billion yen.
The Japanese branch, which has grown rapidly with a huge amount of money invested, and has been raking in money with a pitchfork. That's why the attitude of Branch Manager Kazuki when dealing with President Lee Mi-yeon was full of composure.
“Anyway, the sales in Japan seem to be worth seeing. In fact, the fact that the government was able to push me so aggressively was that I, as the branch manager, kept my balance as much as possible, calmly and wisely, apart from the situation in this chaotic game...” He said that all of this was due to himself
. Branch manager Kazuki talking. President Lee Mi-yeon listened to his story for a while and then stopped talking.
[Be careful, Governor Kazuki.]
“Yes? What do you mean?”
He suddenly asked what he was talking about with an out of the blue look. However, President Lee Mi-yeon cut off the communication with a strange smile that I couldn't understand and left the last words.
[Because everything always goes in an unpredictable direction. Everything that happens in Arcadia and in reality.]
[I hope you don't forget that unless it's God, we can't control everything so it always goes the way we want.] * * * Kazuki

the office after hearing the warning from President Lee Mi-yeon . branch manager.
Entering a super-luxury Japanese restaurant in Ginza, waiting for him was Koichi, the Minister of Education, and two aides in suits.
“Heh heh heh. Nice to meet you, Governor Kazuki. Please call me Koichi, Minister of Education.”
“I am truly honored. heh heh heh I wish you all the best.”
Head of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a key governmental body that oversees all aspects of education, science, and culture and sports in Japan. After exchanging business cards with Koichi, Kazuki finally sat down and continued to talk about various things while eating luxurious food that continued to be served.
“Heh heh heh. I am really looking forward to the future actions of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and Kazuki Branch Manager. Please make an effort so that all Japanese people can enjoy the benefits of virtual reality and take the lead.”
“no. All of this was possible because the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education looked over and showed interest. Heh heh heh.”
In such a bright atmosphere, the two exchanging good words that lift each other's sides. After the atmosphere had matured to a certain extent, and after drinking several glasses, Koichi suddenly asked with his eyes shining.
“I have something urgent to tell you, Governor Kazuki...”
“Yes. What would you like to say? I will listen.”
Branch Manager Kazuki listened closely to what he said. But he took one look at the people sitting at the drinking table and said in an incomprehensible way.
“The seat is a bit like that... no.”
The unspoken message that there are too many listening ears.
There was no way he didn't know that, and Governor Kazuki immediately smiled and told the two aides he had brought with him.
“Don’t you guys want to go to the bathroom? I don't think I've been able to do my job properly because I've been sitting for a long time.”
And as soon as he said that, the two aides jumped up from their seats and said.
“That’s right. Actually, I wanted to go from a while ago...”
“I will go too!”
The two hurriedly disappear from the room. Governor Kazuki gave the unspoken message not to come in while looking at the back of the two. After letting the two go, Governor Kazuki turned his head, and before he knew it, Koichi, who had sent his aides out and was sitting alone drinking a glass, came in.
“You are quicker than I thought.”
Koichi speaks in a slightly different way than before. But branch manager Kazuki also wasn't that soft-tempered, so he dealt with his changes skillfully.
“If I hadn’t understood what the Minister of Education meant, I wouldn’t be sitting here.” Kazuki, who has already experienced social life, has a rough idea of what this situation is like. That's why he asked the Minister of Education with serious eyes.
“Can you hear what you want to say now?”
A story that everyone said they wanted to do while getting bitten. Koichi, who stared blankly at Governor Kazuki asking what that was, opened his mouth in a low voice.
“After the Japanese Empire was defeated in World War II. We have been lost and wandered for a very long time. The foreign military occupied the country, and the army was forcibly disbanded, and it has not been able to recover its proper sovereignty until now. They are also being injected with mundane ideas that pollute the healthy Japanese mind. There is no other image of Japan uniting under His Majesty the Heavenly King.”
He speaks with a hazy face, as if recalling the golden age of Japan, which ruled over the Pacific and Asia in the past. Considering his position as the Minister of Education, Governor Kazuki's expression hardened as it was a dangerous statement that could cause a huge controversy.
“And now everything is being eaten away. economy and science and technology. Even the things we were confident we had the upper hand on, we're losing everything to that goddamn Josenjing!”
Koichi, Minister of Education.
He felt unbearable anger as he watched the moment of great upheaval taking place in Korea in recent years.
-Ajin Electronics developed the latest semiconductor. Experts rate at least 50 years as advanced technology.
-The first smartphone G-1. A great invention and innovation that changed humanity as a whole.
-T Network Virtually dominates the world's telecommunication network. Overwhelming performance unrivaled by the competition.
- Announcement of the construction of a megacity in the underground of the Azin Group. Project name Underworld.
Ajin Group, a Korean conglomerate and a traditional Japanese export competitor. However, at some point, they had grown to such an extent that they dared not even compare with any Japanese company.
“In this way, gradually all of Japan is walking down the road. The leadership of Japan’s brilliant cultural contents will be taken away, and it will be economically and technically subordinated to the Ajin Group and furthermore to Korea.”
The virtual reality industry is bound to grow explosively in the future. That's why Arcadia and the Ajin Group, which has a stake in virtual reality technology, were literally blind.
“I don’t know what the hell you want to say....”
In my head, I instinctively send out a warning to get out of this situation.
That's why Governor Kazuki was struggling to leave after this conversation, but his thought circuit stopped for a moment at Koichi's words that followed.
“The Prime Minister wants Japan to regain the lead in Arcadia and the virtual reality industry.”
Koichi reveals that even the Prime Minister, the head of the Japanese government, is involved. He poured all the remaining alcohol from his glass into his mouth and said with a twinkle in his eyes.
“And for that purpose, Governor Kazuki, I think you should play a big role.”
“What is that...”
Kazuki, who felt that it was absurd, tried to get angry. However, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut when Koichi offered him a drink and asked.
“Think simple. Japan and its company Which do you value more?”
national interest.
The words of the Minister of Education to stand up for the benefit of Japan. At that moment, several thoughts passed through Governor Kazuki's head.
[Hohoho. How do we do what one Korean user went over and did?]
[Infinite freedom. infinite possibilities. A dragon can destroy a city.]
[Yes? A rollback? Governor, have you tried this once or twice?]
[Sorry, but you don't have permission to access related information. I can't tell you.]
President Lee Mi-yeon, who fucked herself dozens of times with a smile on her face. When he recalled her vicious atrocities, which told her to endure the catastrophe that took place on the Japanese continent without providing detailed information, he accepted his drink with a resolute expression as if he had made up his mind.
“As a Japanese citizen...if I can serve for the national interest, I will.”
With a private vendetta in his heart, he would somehow screw up the Koreans, including CEO Lee Mi-yeon.
