Chapter 52: I will do more propaganda than you can imagine
"This is only temporary. After a year everything will be lifted and you don't need to show your face everywhere. The main military will be settled in bases around the country. While making the bases around the country, make an extra number of Variants and send them all over the country as scouts. I know that it is impossible to hide ourselves for a long time but I have already stopped any kind of active trade route."
"Understood creator, but how will the humans live without proper sustenance if you want to lessen the trade to minimum?"
"I have another helper who will help us in this mission."
Founder got curious about it but didn't ask. Meanwhile, Robin brought out multiple broken Habitat walkers for savage purposes. It looked like a huge wall of huge red colored broken machines laying around the place. Who would have thought that in the game these same habitat walkers were a menace and they were indestructible by the weapons of humans.
After bringing the habitat walkers, Robin brought out Viktor and Vertigo. Both of these beings couldn't speak the human language so they were left under the wing of the Founder to explain to them what they needed to do in this world.
Vertigo was much bigger and more sleek than he expected. He was at least larger than a typical fighter jet that he had seen in the museums and was thin. There was a very vague shield around Vertigo and it made it look like the ship was phasing in and out of existence.
Viktor was huge and since it didn't have a pilot yet, it just stood in its place awaiting Mirabel for taking command. Robin spent a little more time with the Founder and passed on some ideas which he thought might be helpful for them. He repeatedly said not to confront the local humans and lie that the Supreme Leader had tasked the robots to provide them a better life.
Since this country ran on propaganda, he would use it to his own advantage until he could get rid of it. Robin and the two women returned to TARDIS. He had been working non-stop and just wanted to rest for the day. Though the work wasn't physically exhausting, it sure did stress him out a bit. He had to make sure that everything was in order and also remain hidden. Any false moves and a war would just erupt anytime.
China was a major headache to Robin. It had very good relations with North Korea and even some of the North Koreans studied in China. So there was always contact between them and JARVIS would have to monitor that there was no communications between the North Koreans and the Chinese.
The people who were responsible for all the illicit relations like trafficking, corruption and such others had already been handed over to the Novus and they would take care accordingly. Those who did horrible things in the past would be put to death and others who had a lesser crime would be taken to Novus prisons which would be exclusively built for them.
This was a massive project but with the help of three high functional AI, this can be done. JARVIS monitors the people, Founder makes sure that guilty was punished and keeps human relations with other countries to almost near 0 and Sigret handles the upper echelons of North Korea.
After handling the related matters, they returned home.
"You want to go out and have fun?" Robin asked both Myrene and Sigret to which both jumped at the offer. They have been cooped up inside and they needed to have some fun. Especially Sigret, who looked like she was having a bad mood on each passing day staying inside.
They took the Cayenne and went out to roam around the city. It was early afternoon and the trio went around the city. Robin didn't actually ever travel in the city and just wanted to see how the city was. Safe to say that this city too mesmerized Robin.
After shopping at different malls and wasting a bunch of money, they returned. Myrene too bought herself some clothes as she seemed to like some. She hesitated a bit until Sigret convinced her. Robin didn't really care what they bought, in fact he himself bought some clothes for himself after getting professional help to select some of the fashionable fits.
They returned by evening after ordering a takeout. After a proper dinner and fiddling with his phone for quite some time Robin went to sleep.
Saturday, 7th January.
After having breakfast, he went to the TARDIS to see how Sigret was handling. She had been multitasking. One was taking care of the medicinal herbs and observing the changes and the other was talking with the people necessary to keep the country in order. She did so by making a digital copy of Kim and other officials and making calls and video conferencing to all the people with whom she needed to remain in contact.
It was truly an extraordinary feat which a human being could never do.
Robin reached the zoo only to see the 3 women again playing with the Pokemon. They were much more bold today as they seemed not to be in fear when Robin came in. In fact, the three women had the first proper interaction with him. They bowed at him when he came in and the bold woman even said 'hi' to him.
Robin was happy that there was some progress. He would have liked it if they lived in open space but security reasons didn't allow him to do so.
After playing with the Pokemon it was time to return to their 'kingdom' and establish a force that would take care of the people.
North Korea was surrounded by sea on both sides. On the west side was the Yellow sea and on the east was the Sea of Japan. The only land border it had was with China and South Korea. Now the game which Robin was going for would help him manage the food, shelter and security of the people living but changing everything in the blink of an eye was of course impossible.
Robin didn't have any compulsion to save the people as they didn't have any relations with him but he would still do it. For two reasons. Firstly was that the people of North Korea deserved a better life after long suffering and the other was he needed these people to rise up and show and intimidate the world, and for that he needed to bring the change.
"JARVIS have the sites being selected?"
"Yes Sir, in Yellow sea, there is a huge island called Cho-Do, on the mainland of North Korea towards the northern border there is a lake called Pujon-Do and on the Sea of Japan there is an island called Mayang-Do."
"Have the people been evacuated?"
"Miss Sigret had already given the instructions to do so yesterday itself. They have been evacuated including the military base at Mayang-Do. That site has nuclear warheads."
"Huh? How did the Supreme Leader convince such a military base to vacate?"
"Miss Sigret lied about having a nuclear spillage and asked the men to vacate."
"She really does come up with tricks. Did anybody outside the country get any information?"
"There has been no such chatter in the communications of China, Japan and America."
"Let's keep it that way."
Robin then called Myrene who was tending to the garden and left with the TARDIS after Sigret came out of the lab. The next moment they appeared was at an open military runway at Mayang-Do. THe military base looked huge and there were some helicopters and few jets at the hangar. Like other parts of North Korea it was freezing here and more so due to the strong winds blowing over the island.
The island was rugged and almost barren with very few trees in sight. The island was forcefully converted into a military site with technology because this island was the largest island in the Sea of Japan and from here North Korea could easily threaten their enemy. The island even had a naval base here along with an airforce base.
Now it looked empty with no one on site. The men here left hurriedly yesterday after the false report came of nuclear spillage. Unlike other people of the country, the men here were educated and they knew what kind of disaster would await them if the people got contaminated. They left in the fastest way possible.
"This place is definitely haunted." Sigret proclaimed. Robin looked at her with weird eyes.
"Who told you that?"
"Nobody. I just know. A place made for killing millions should be haunted."
"Keep your ghost theory to yourself." Robin didn't bother to talk more with Sigret. He proceeded to put on his Blue Beetle armor and finally after a long wait he would get to do something that he had been dying to try.
