Marlow slowly read the second bilateral ROK Navy to US Navy analyst exchange message in two days, alternately choking and gasping at each word. The underlying info was several months old, but was very relevant:
1. The following orders are issued to the Commanding Officer of the Kimpo shipyard.
2. Construction is to begin construction of a fake submarine with the characteristics of a strategic ballistic missile submarine. You will have the country’s top priority for workers and materials in this effort.
3. It must be rolled out within 6 to 8 weeks and be able to fool the US sensors for at least 4 days. Rollout date is non-negotiable.
4. Supreme Leader’s personal reps will be at your doorstep this morning to assist you in this endeavor.
With every sphincter in his body spastically firing away, Marlow tried to understand this message’s true meaning. He was glad now he’d spent two years in Hawaii eating at local Korean restaurant kimchi and trying to speak and understand Korean language and culture. Was Supreme Leader about to put one over on us, his generals, the South and/or the Chinese?
Or was this some more elaborate ruse to make us look in one direction while he prepared to strike from another?
