CPDBD Chapter 1.1

The smooth 777c5fd94b asphalt of 60082d4db7 the city 05f564b467 gave way d4639714c2 to a b72dc1aa05 bumpy, unpaved 8fd1b94f91 road. The car, which had 9a12bb132b been gliding effortlessly, began 64976f92d4 to jolt, signaling their 22a711adf5 entry into the countryside.f6d713b486815265

Captain Jang 6a8465c716 Do-jun, seated 421427cb28 in the 3f8bc0f33f back, hummed 539cb681a7 a tune c301f7d5cf and slightly c1fcc58306 opened the a8122874df window. Unlike the city, 427be2d0ca where the scenery 7c02c7e449 blurred by in f981041d19 a flash, the 0fa58bef91 river, mountains, and a34414805e sky stretched endlessly a9c41a624c before him. The river fb9aad11f4 sparkled with 6a6b5d1292 sunlight, its 2a653f3fd0 surface shimmering 20f80a8b21 with ripples, 8f5708cf1d a view fc18984aa1 that perfectly dea4af5e00 matched the 3a6754d63b name Garam 77a985d6ef Unit. Jang Do-jun brushed b3bf198bc9 back his falling 099a899f45 bangs and closed 04afebbb25 his eyes.6609ca9018f6fa60

The military had evolved 120645c67a with the passage of a51da73b07 time.

In an 41884be47a era where 3bb65b607d cutting-edge devices bded7ae5fa increasingly replaced ac3cea6cde human roles, f1c8337381 Garam Unit 800c3c48ca was an e795be8004 anomaly, stubbornly 71f8436344 maintaining military ac07782f11 dogs.

‘Everything needs an overhaul from top to bottom’,Jang Do-jun 6e821753da thought, already 8247c3d3a0 feeling a 6bee2a6146 headache coming 71f44402be on.

The Jang family had cdcf183f77 been a military dynasty 8cfb80705f for generations. Jang Do-jun, 90d840fccb the second 832fe906a9 son of 0279236a84 Division Commander 7b180f6fa9 Jang Mok-su, 9eebe9df4c followed the 9cd536e968 family tradition 41275c03cb by entering 98f56dcf80 the Korea 2bcb65baeb Military Academy. Born with his 18910934d1 father’s sharp intellect ee046a0fb1 and his actress 5d9fbc015b mother’s striking looks, 4c34e85ef7 he stood out c93b94efe5 from the start.

In the rigid e1a939c7d3 hierarchy of the 946b63cc8a military, eccentrics were 2ee38eaecd common, but Jang 507d416715 Do-jun’s sharp tongue a08f82dcab accounted for eighty 62dec45209 percent of the 3d2219b6b1 complaints about him. His innate tendency to 63aa35abb2 view everyone as beneath ca1c585f2a him was the root 3f2ec1cfa8 of it. His every 64229ec32f sigh carried 6a31e0bc10 a “how f4452f511d pathetic” undertone, 183a282ace and his ccae7d0b47 sidelong glances 259d24716e screamed “how 89ab6e478c insignificant.” Treating 67c14bfc77 everyone as 2f6a0f2874 less than 46c44e5118 ants, even dc98bc839b his orders 58ec3a307f felt demeaning, f3786f80cc earning him 49d5adf686 the nickname 6320bd369c “son of a9b95bb91e a bitch.”6c193e6d2987dd01

Upon arriving at 47b3e37d64 his office, Jang bb6ecc1824 Do-jun opened the be41c11f81 door. The space was neither 92ae30c41b too small nor too caa64e4980 large, just adequate.
