"If it were me, I wouldâve already launched an attack."
The sky began to darken, and the time transitioned into evening.
At the third perimeter surrounding the Namdong Industrial Complex, a large tent had been set up at the outskirts. This tent housed the key participants of the operation.
"Waiting any longer is the most foolish move we could make. If thereâs even one person inside with half a brain, theyâll attack before our encirclement is fully formed. Or they might surrender outright. Though surrender⦠well, I doubt that."
The speaker was the Special Operations Liaison from the Incheon Autonomous Police Bureau headquarters.
His rank was Chief Superintendent, quite high, and he had a youthful appearance despite his status.
He tapped the strategic map in front of him.
"Given the terrain, no matter how tight we make our encirclement, there will inevitably be weak points here and here. Theyâll know this too. Strengthening these areas and holding off their initial attack before pushing forward is the best strategy."@@novelbin@@
"Are you suggesting we prioritize defense?"
The one raising the question was Lee Na-eun, the special prosecutor.
Backed by the prosecutionâs full support, she had mobilized about 100 special prosecutors for this operation.
Though it might seem like a small number compared to the 50,000 police officers deployed, the inclusion of terminator units, capable of immediate action, meant it was by no means a negligible force.
Moreover, prosecutors typically operated in teams. Each prosecutor had at least two investigators working with them, all of whom had undergone implant procedures. In terms of utility, investigators often surpassed prosecutors.
"If they were to go crazy and bombard the city, the damage would be catastrophic. Wouldnât it make more sense to annihilate them with overwhelming firepower first, then move on to clean-up operations?"
"I agree, but if weâre going to do that, it has to happen immediately. My point isnât that we should focus on defense first, but that weâll inevitably be forced to defend initially. Frankly, Iâm surprised they havenât responded yet."
"That makes sense."
