Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 282

Apocrypha 11. Hong Jooyoung (10).

The narrow Strait of Hormuz, only 50 kilometers wide.

However, it had to be very important geographically.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iran, the world-class oil-producing countries, and Bahrain, Qatar, and Dubai, the oil-producing countries that are not inferior to the above three countries, are nonetheless supplying more than 30% of the world’s crude oil.

In other words, if the Strait of Hormuz was blocked, the world economy would inevitably stumble.

So Iran, which is subject to strong US economic sanctions, often gambled with its life in the Strait of Hormuz.

like now.

“We are a Spanish tanker and are moving to the Corba port in Valencia, Spain, carrying crude oil through a crude oil contract with the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.”

Captain Meldova, aboard the Spanish tanker Kona, reported the situation to the Iranian destroyer blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

However.

[The situation where the Kona was caught trying to escape without her rescue after a collision with a fishing boat of Iranian nationality was caught. Kona asks her to immediately shut off her engine and stop on the spot.]

“no! What is that!”

Captain Meldova tried to reveal her injustice once again to the Iranian side’s forcing her to tell her absurd story, but there was a hand that stopped such Captain Meldova.

Deputy Captain Javier.

“It will not work, Captain. They have already detained a British tanker for 60 days in that way.”

“Okay…”

It was something that Captain Meldova was also familiar with.

There was not a single tanker that used the Strait of Hormuz here that had not experienced friction with the Iranian navy.

However, Captain Meldova could not sit still, even for a single day or even hours, as she would suffer severe financial loss from being tied up like this.

Even though she knew it wouldn’t work.

Somehow, the Spanish Kona moved to the port of Bandar Abbas in southeastern Iran under the direction of her destroyer.

Of course, it didn’t just happen to the Spanish Kona.

A tanker of Asian nationality.

In particular, Korean and Japanese oil tankers moved to Bandar Abbas port after being captured rather than captured by Iranian battleships and destroyers following the Kona.

Texas crude oil, which can be called the most representative oil, has a major impact on the Americas including the United States, Canada, and Mexico, North Sea Brant oil has a great influence on Europe and Africa, and Middle East oil has a great influence on the Middle East and Asia.

Especially in Korea and Japan, where not even a drop of oil is produced.

***

a few days after that.

Moyadi oil field in northeastern Saudi Arabia.

Aww!

A huge fire erupted with a loud roar at the Moyadi oil field, one of the largest oil fields in Saudi Arabia.

Moyadi Oil Field, which spit out huge flames that I couldn’t even get my hands on it.

However, black smoke rose from the Alafe large oil complex not far from the Moyadi oil field.

Aww!

The flames erupted with a huge roar, not far behind that of the Moyadi oil field.

At the same time as the oil field, the flames soared to a large oil facility.

Naturally, Saudi Arabia was in turmoil.

Hundreds of firefighting vehicles and dozens of firefighting helicopters were put in immediately.

But the flames that are not easily extinguished.

So Saudi Arabia drained all of the oil stored in the Alape oil complex and dumped it on the ground.

Oil can be dug up again, but if oil storage and refinery facilities are destroyed, it will take more time and money to restore it.

But the problem wasn’t just that.

as soon as.

bang! bang! bang!

Moyadi oil field where a chain of explosions occurred.

In the end, Saudi Arabia’s state-run oil company made a decision.

By blocking the drilling holes that were drilled at the maximum cost.

This will prevent further explosions from occurring.At the same time, Saudi Arabia suffered huge losses from explosions and fires at large oil fields and large oil facilities.

The financial loss is also a loss, but especially since it will take a considerable amount of time to restore it.

The problem was that the Saudi Arabian government had labeled the explosions and fires the work of Yemeni Houthi rebels and classified them as terrorism.

That meant that recovery had to be pushed further back.

From the standpoint of Saudi Arabia, which prides itself on being a loser in the Middle East, I had no choice but to think that letting it go even after being attacked was damaging to its own honor.

First of all, Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the simultaneous terrorist attacks by Saudi Arabia plunged the world into chaos.

Of course, the biggest chaos was bound to occur in Asia.

Because most of the countries in Asia depend on imports for oil.

Especially Middle Eastern oil.

Gyeongmoon High School Reexamination Center.

There was no need to even call it a retest site.

Because I was the only person taking the retest.

Instead, there were as many as five supervisors.

of course.

Shrug. Shrug.

There were a number of issues that were twisted to create confusion in their own way, but it did not cause any confusion at all.

Because it was so easy that the answer was clearly visible.

First of all, the test continued like this.

much shorter than the set time.

***

Ko Dok-su, a math teacher in charge of the third grade.

Of course he thought there was something cheating.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the results of the student who was last in ten years.

However.

Shrug. Shrug.

“……”

Gok-su did not realize that his mouth was as wide as Ji-bak Ham.

Because he reads the problem exactly 5 seconds.

After that, he seems to write the solution without hesitation without stopping for even a second.

And the answer came out in 10 seconds.

Lonely Soo felt the action.

There is no need for a solution, so even though it can be solved by mental arithmetic, I will dispel your doubts by manually writing the solution.

Seeing that each question took less than 20 to 30 seconds, the loneliness felt it in his hand.

In the end, in less than 10 minutes, a math test paper that was solved neatly out of 100 points.

Moreover, the difficulty level was slightly higher for the loneliness, not the level of the first grader.

It is by no means easy to choose 100 questions with a limited amount.

In any case, not only the solitary, but everyone who participated as the test proctor acknowledged.

Hong Jooyoung, also known as Myeong-jin’s fault or idiot, is actually not like that at all.

***

Weekend two days after the retest.

A house in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.

There were visitors who had been promised in advance.

So not only me, but also my dad and mom were watching.

Principal Seon-Chun Jang.

First of all, as soon as Principal Jang Seon-chun entered the house, he bowed his head to me first.

At the same time, he apologized for not believing.

After that, he apologized to his parents, his father and mother, for showing off his ugliness as an educator.

And my dad and mom look at it.

“Fine.”

“I understand the sentiment.”

Of course, it wasn’t just the school that had a riot with perfect scores in all subjects.

There was also an uproar at home.

Because it didn’t show that I was studying hard.

My dad didn’t force me to study anymore because of my changed appearance.

However, in the first place, he received a report card that he was ranked first in all subjects in his class and in his/her grade.

It was more than school, but it was not lacking at all.

anyway.

“You have a very tall son. I don’t know why, but the teachers who took the retest said that they thought that they had deliberately hid themselves. No, there were a lot of teachers who were confident of that.”

At that time, it was really lacking.

The English words that I had memorized after sitting in a chair for hours really turned white as soon as I closed the bookshelf.

That’s why I found a role-playing game that still had what I did, and that gave rewards one after another, whether it was a level-up or a job item.

First of all, many stories came and went after that, and I just listened quietly.

It was enough to have a father who was happy every time Principal Jang Seon-chun said a word and a mother who couldn’t put a smile on her lips.

***

That evening.

smart.

Someone knocked on my door and showed up.

right sister.

and.

“This alien! I am now convinced By the way, don’t you feel sorry for my little brother who will come back later if you pretend like that? Think of my brother who will suddenly become stupid!”

“Whew…”

With a tray of juice and fruit in her hand, the older sister shouted the sound as soon as she opened the door.

Perhaps her mother sent it.

The smile never left her mother’s mouth since the visit of Principal Sun-Chun Jang.

First of all, to that sister.

tick tick.

She motioned for her to come closer.

And then.

“human. you will have to be careful Otherwise, your brother will have no life!”

At first, I stumbled.

then ignore it.

It has now developed into a match-up.

Of course, in my match like that.

“this! You are making fun of my sister!”

The older sister who put down a tray of juice and fruit next to her said a word.

She ruffled my hair lightly.

First, she reached out to her older sister.

OK.

“In addition?”

“Huh.”

In response to my answer, the older sister held out her hand wide.

And on her sister’s hand.

left and right.

spilled something

Just diamond stones.

However.“No, what cubes are you giving me again?”

If I had only given one or two, I would have thought they were diamonds.

However, since it was given in bulk, my sister accepted it as cubic from the beginning.

I didn’t even bother to call it a diamond.

“Didn’t you throw away what I gave you last time?”

“How do you get rid of it? My brother gave it to me for the first time.”

“I have a good one.”

“I get it. okay.”

Of course, the real thing was different.

In other words, there were some pendulums that De Beers’ best and famous craftsmen were making with great care.

A necklace for her mother, an earring for her sister, and a tie pin for her dad and brother.

Anyway, after letting my sister go, I took out the documents that Oh Tae-seok sent from Sierra Leone and spent time checking them.

That night.

Dawn of deep darkness.

I woke up and ran out of the house with a zero cooldown blink.

Then he carefully landed on the roof of a black van the size of a van parked not far from, not too close to home.

Then I could confirm the voice coming from inside the black car.

The car doors and even the windows are completely closed, but that didn’t matter to me at all.

“I’m going to die of boredom.”

“What should I do? If it’s from the top, you’ll have to peel it.”

“By the way, I have to tell you why… just watch. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been on the floor here, but this is the first time I’ve heard such a dogma command.”

“So do i.”

Conversation in English.

It didn’t seem like Korea.

But it wasn’t that important, so I shoved my hand right into the roof of the car called the roof.

at the same time.

squeaky. squeaky.

I just pulled it out on both sides.

The roof of a car split in two like a piece of paper.

Then, at a glance, I could see the inside full of strange equipment as if it was not a normal vehicle.

Two men with pale faces in surprise.

First, he opened his mouth softly towards them.

“What are you doing to make fun of me?”

“……”

“……”

But those who do not have an answer.

Of course, I wasn’t expecting much.

He was still frozen and didn’t look like he was going to answer.

But then, instead of the two men still taking care of them, a voice came from the machine on the other side.

[nice to meet you. Hong Jooyoung. We never approached it with bad intentions. Anyway, I was going to see you soon. Before that, it was just an observation to understand the situation, and there was absolutely no intention to harm.]

However, there is still no introduction about himself.

It was the first thing that came first, so I opened my mouth right away.

“What is your identity?”

[My name is Anderson, Director of National Intelligence.]

“Um… okay. Then we’ll see you at exactly this time tomorrow. I’d like you to come in person if possible. And I don’t like those who don’t keep their promises.”

[Yes. all right.]

First of all, I ended the conversation like that.

To be honest, I was planning to visit the United States or a country in the Middle East sooner or later.
