CPDBD Chapter 1.1

The smooth asphalt 9333b0e42b of the city aa6c249402 gave way to 2bfa0321ba a bumpy, unpaved 45c53d96fc road. The car, 970bb488fb which had beda128f25 been gliding edccbc67a1 effortlessly, began 6604ac90fd to jolt, ddd8fd0aec signaling their 0cf05def5b entry into e816c55d70 the countryside.fa93cd551d4d6594

Captain Jang Do-jun, seated a6c8d38c75 in the back, hummed fab8367719 a tune and slightly 956affc991 opened the window. Unlike the city, where 71deb3eecd the scenery blurred by cf5bc3892a in a flash, the 42a1733144 river, mountains, and sky ab2e878a47 stretched endlessly before him. The river sparkled with 9de8f4f7ff sunlight, its surface shimmering 0a21f2205d with ripples, a view 1e2a83a1e3 that perfectly matched the b047594072 name Garam Unit. Jang Do-jun brushed e0e2a9ec33 back his falling 02750acbbf bangs and closed bbc42bbc0d his eyes.47a9f66e8ddb8575

“Garam Unit is a 82165dcc86 place I hold dear c715c4687c from my days as c5fa84b806 its battalion commander.

The military had evolved 834c57bfbd with the passage of 5e27ba3d40 time.

In an era a3bc374379 where cutting-edge devices 1279725b73 increasingly replaced human f9d1f8c2ae roles, Garam Unit a79d51069b was an anomaly, 3ce12ce420 stubbornly maintaining military 0671855767 dogs. The fact f5a7fa1e1a that they 56772156e9 still kept cd869aba28 dogs was cf88b84895 enough to 12e53e3477 suggest the f46cab686c incompetence of 8e8b19c485 the battalion 9107ab3976 commander.8c021ea6beb00de4

‘Everything needs an overhaul from top to bottom’,Jang Do-jun thought, 57fa1717ad already feeling a 09af8108d2 headache coming on.

The Jang family 370eeac7a6 had been a d9ad95707f military dynasty for 56b9e68def generations. Jang Do-jun, the second 6ef8715ea1 son of Division Commander 1be6e182e1 Jang Mok-su, followed the 9e495489c8 family tradition by entering 9164e90574 the Korea Military Academy. Born with 35fac777f0 his father’s 63b14b4512 sharp intellect e054ed66b8 and his eaa93fca2f actress mother’s d7332e1447 striking looks, e2791b8368 he stood ad563e6c64 out from 06849b144a the start. At the academy, 21821f6c09 Jang Do-jun was 73a00569bf untouchable. Wherever he went, 140a9f7310 he was welcomed, d5e073859d and those eager a2eedb4606 to curry favor a175e69e25 with his father, 925a28899d Jang Mok-su, ensured f227dec0d8 his military career 0a29f9c26a was smooth, rising 8531b28414 to captain without 38ca6ffbfb incident.3fcd5898ebe27fcf

In the rigid ce7c0cde9a hierarchy of the fe41803f77 military, eccentrics were 196365381f common, but Jang 0a4a3fff33 Do-jun’s sharp tongue 416f1fcd6f accounted for eighty 4e2ba7f884 percent of the fba088e19c complaints about him. His innate tendency to 6cb01de089 view everyone as beneath 6bc1aa12ed him was the root fce24b22ea of it. His every sigh f3253beefc carried a “how db42ad7a4d pathetic” undertone, and 2b474a8709 his sidelong glances 8f39b63159 screamed “how insignificant.” f282c0881a Treating everyone as e2a3a61f4d less than ants, db8b7ac549 even his orders 7c933a72f9 felt demeaning, earning 85316ad291 him the nickname ebcd71348d “son of a 4631a783c8 bitch.”1baf5744dfdc1eda

Upon arriving 1c3a1daa12 at his 29e8038d35 office, Jang 17115b43d2 Do-jun opened 791470210c the door. The space was 47a1f41ed3 neither too small d9b17fb1cd nor too large, 5076df8685 just adequate. The size wasn’t 07b89a1b14 to his liking, ffa7be0289 but the lush bc6ba072f7 greenery of the d7465efba8 ridge visible through 0a5a7c17fe the wide window 6bd1d02bf8 pleased him.4bb55ce451db74f9
