Chapter 280
The Advisory Committee, urgently convened in the Heuksukdong mansion, heard detailed information from Nam Ki-cheol's team dispatched from the Raid Management Headquarters. The fact that Ocean Route 2 has been shut down has changed dramatically. Not only marine-related scholars, but also economic and political personnel became more complex.
It was disgusting that it was so serious. I did not understand why.
"It's very serious, sir."
The representative of the advisory board and his supervising professor, Son Jae-jin, spoke out. He speaks comfortably in the stones as Jae Woongung does, but he is polite in his official position.
"The North Pacific route is the only safe route between the United States and our country in the Pacific. If you can not use this route, you must go to the US via the Indian Ocean or Atlantic. "
"So what happens?"
"Right now, logistics is blocked. 70% of the world's logistics freight is using the sea route, which means that the main route we were dealing with the largest country was blocked. There will be a huge blow to domestic companies. Once you change the direction of entry through the Atlantic route, you will have a large economic loss due to the slow arrival time of logistics.

"This is a story only when you can not use the North Pacific route."
"I need a detailed explanation of that part. I do not know anything about shipping. "
The Advisory Group thus briefly described the history of global change.
The monster appeared and many changes took place in the world. First of all, the biggest change is that oil has been withdrawn from the fuel market. In the petrochemical field, it is still an indispensable place, but it was also gradually losing its place due to the development of crystalline material science.
Secondly, there is a restriction on the use of the sea. There are innumerable monsters in the world, and of course the sea is much more dangerous than land. The land can mobilize raids, and the sea can not even be that.
At the beginning of the monster 's appearance, a myriad of ships sank under the attack of a monster at sea. At the time, material movements were tight and the Great Depression was in the way. There is a danger that the civilization base that mankind has built up will completely collapse.
Fortunately, mankind was wise and found a countermeasure. I found a safe route where no monsters would come in without sacrificing all kinds of sacrifices. Although the world route map has been reorganized and the number of available routes has been reduced to a minimum, mankind is finally able to use the sea again.
"The North Pacific Ocean Route 2 is the only route in the Pacific that connects East Asia and the Americas. It's a huge artery that's 50 kilometers wide. "
Detailed and easy-to-understand explanations are over. Jae-woong, who was listening carefully, nodded as if he knew.
"Then the professors are not concerned that the North Pacific route 2 is blocked."
OK. This is because there is a possibility that the harvest phenomenon will recur. If it does, mankind will have to suffer tremendous pain again. "
"Is that so?"
"Official records show that 120 million people around the world have become more annoyed at the time of the first haul."
“…….”Then, Jae-woong realized why Nam Ki-chul was so determined and why the advisory professors were so serious. It was not simply that one of the Pacific Ocean routes to the continent of America would fail. It was because there was no guarantee that the situation would end there, and that it might have been the outpouring that things had just begun.
And the concerns of the advisors soon became reality.
"A monster has also appeared on Route 5 of the Atlantic."
"South Pacific Ocean Route 1 is no longer available."
The governments were overwhelmed by the reports that came in intensely. The United States first proposed an emergency international summit. Seoul was designated as the meeting point, and governments voted unanimously. The plane which the top of each country boarded abruptly headed to Seoul.
The world was tense in a global natural disaster that suddenly broke out when the Chinese problem was almost finished. It was a bit surprising that I chose Seoul as the venue, but it was not that strange considering the fact that the Zenith raid is in Korea.
"To date, a total of seven routes have been deemed unavailable. Four of these are the major counterparts connecting the continent and the continent. The logistics transport between the countries was not blocked, but it was inevitable that there would be a disruption in the transport of goods due to the inability to use the main route. "
Prime Minister Kim Sang-hyun, who served as chairman of the summit, first explained the problems that came to humanity.
"According to the information provided by the UN investigative body, at least five individuals, up to seven monsters, seem to be active on the surface of the sea surface. The rank of the monster has not been confirmed yet, but it is estimated that it is more than a red type object because it is attacked the ship which is in normal operation. "
The faces of the heads of states were bloody hard. They remembered what kind of hell arose during the first haul.
The sea becomes unavailable. It was a nightmare in modern society, which is highly dependent on maritime trade. It's not just that the economy is down and the economy is frozen. The civilization based on humanity itself collapses. Literally hell.
Theoretically, there is no harm if it is a self-sufficient country. But in modern society, there is no such country. The United States can only stand a little longer than others. Because food and other necessities do not turn properly, people who starve may come out. In fact, more than 100 million people have starved to death in the past.
"Is not it possible that the entire North Pacific Ocean Route 2 was lost? It is an enormous rift with a width of 50 km. What will not happen if I get back from avoiding the monsters?
Japan's new prime minister, Matani, had his face discolored white. Japan, which has declared a moratorium and is starting again from developing countries, is dead when the sea is blocked.
Currently, more than 80% of the food consumed by Japan is imported from abroad. It was also a foreign aid obtained by dispatching domestic radars to the United States. It is difficult for the dealers who can not find a raid seat to make their own country because of the money they earned from their hard earned money until they lower their self-pay rate to one-half and one-third of others abroad.
Such tearful food comes in through the North Pacific route, and as soon as the stockpile of food falls, Japan becomes a starving person.
"Matanie, the problem is not so simple."
That's what Bill Clann said.
"We do not know anything about the monsters that made the current route unusable. There is no information about attack target recognition distance, attack conditions, activity cycle, and so on. It is very dangerous to exploit the harbors in this situation. "
"But if you do not use the harbors, there is no food available to the public right now."
It has already been two weeks since I have lost the North Pacific Ocean Route 2. Foods and foreign goods that had been imported into Japan had been coming back to other routes via the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, the ships I should have come in two weeks ago have not arrived yet.
The prime minister does not know when the other route will be blocked. The country that declared a moratorium, a nation that barely keeps the country through the massive supply of manpower to foreign countries at low prices from domestic radar.
"Prime Minister, Japan is not only urgent. All the countries here are the same. There is no country that can protect the civilization base from the haematization phenomenon. Our United States is no exception. "
Summit meetings of more than 50 countries continued for days and nights.
Although some of the main routes were disabled to the extent that they were comparable to the aorta, it was not without a detour. There will be some disruption in the transport of goods, and it will take more time to transport, but the circulation path has not been blocked yet.
But it is a tremendous problem that sudden anomalies have occurred in the years that have not happened for decades. It is a disqualification of responsibility as a leader to leave a hand in hand because it can be sustained by temporary measures. National leaders gathered in Seoul were clearly aware of that point.
* * * "Are you conscious of me holding a summit in Seoul?"
"Probably right."
"Should I go?"
“…….”Jeonghyo asked for a moment. Jae-woong gently stroked her cheek on her belly. Now the belly has begun to inflate gradually. It feels strange to think that the life that he planted in this is breathing. I wonder if this is becoming my father.
"No matter how good Zenith is, there is no way the ocean can do it."
"What do you want to do?"
"I do not know. I'm frustrated. "
This time, he asked.
"What do you want me to do?"
“…….”For a while she was silent. He waited for his wife without urging. No matter what answer came back, no reply came back.
"I'm just… … I want you to do what you want. "
"Is that all right?"
"Huh. Do not regret it. "
When I heard that, he thought. You are not a hero. The reason for the raid is to make money. The purpose of making money is to eat well and live well. As the influence on the raid system grows, it only naturally recognizes the social responsibilities that are appropriate for the position that it has achieved.
He made a video call with Ansule.
"Oh, how are you? Ching-ku It's been a while since I lost my last Premier Cup. "
"A goal scored the winner. I will win the championship next season. "
"That's not possible. My club athletes are now lighting their eyes. The next season will be difficult. "
After receiving some kind of greetings, Jae-woong pulled out the subject.
"Do you know that a few years have been lost?"
Of course I do. My brother also attended the Seoul UAE Summit this time. "
"Oh yeah? So I have to go see you once. "
"I was a bit embarrassed because I was not going to let you see your face, but would you?"
"Sure."
When I talked to him seriously, he was taking this job very seriously. As a friend, he actually pulled out itself and delivered it briefly. There was no need to persuade them with a complicated causal relationship like why the advisory group is obliged to do so. Thanks to it, it was a little easier to accept as a skin.
"Distribution costs have a big impact on prices. I'll take an example. A few years ago, did not the crystal retailers eat twice as many distribution margins? "
"I did."
"If the sea is blocked, we have to transport it by air. Naturally, distribution costs are growing. Suppose that once the distribution cost is more than a hundred times the cost of production. But it's not pure margins like Korean crystal retailers, but pure transportation costs. "
“…….”"And air transport has its limitations. When the sea is sealed, mankind is only dead. At least we can affirm that the number of human beings is now less than 500 million. "
A similar story has already been heard through the Advisory Committee. But a friend's affirmation that it would happen, not a cautious guess, gave a completely different impression. I guess I felt like I was putting ice on my skin.
"Is it possible to do that if the other main opposition is blocked?"
"Indeed." But there is no guarantee that the problem will get bigger. "
"There is no question that the problem is fixed here."
"I tell you, this is not your responsibility. So do not worry seriously. "
"Do not you have to fulfill your social responsibilities to your position? She always said that. That's the real use of wealth. "
also I
After hanging out for a while, she added quietly.
"I never asked you to sacrifice."
Charge and sacrifice are words that are completely different. Jae-woong's mind was relaxed.
Why would international leaders come to Seoul? Because he expected his role to play an important role in resolving the situation. You and I also came to see your face.
But now it's okay. At least the main guidelines have been set.
for your troubles." I was a bit worried because I had to attend the summit tomorrow, but I feel better. "
"Do not be burdened. Just a little more formal than usual, it's a no problem place. "
