[Book Introduction] The Silent Operational Control: "War does not begin with gunfire, but with silent sentences on paper."

The Korean Peninsula, placed on the ruthless chessboard of proxy wars among great powers, is the setting for the breathtaking secret records of those who chose the most sacred act of treason in history to protect the nation's sovereignty and the lives of 50 million people.

The Silent Operational Control is an espionage political thriller novel based on the geopolitical crisis in East Asia and the realistic issue of South Korea's 'wartime operational control.' The story begins by exposing the elaborate proxy war scenario of Western elites, who, driven by the greed of a massive transnational organization and the US-China power struggle, aim to devastate the Korean Peninsula and permanently seize Asia's resources.

At the fateful moment when the vortex of war rises to the brink of the Korean Peninsula, the President of South Korea, top National Intelligence Service agent Kim Kwang-soo, genius statistician Park Jin-woo, and eight military leaders secretly plot 'sabotage' and 'treason' to neutralize the Pentagon's operational orders. Through precise data manipulation that predicts future destruction by numbers and life-risking secret diplomacy, they confront a massive conspiracy that seeks to drive the nation to suicide for the benefit of foreign powers.

Subsequent events escalate into an unprecedented incident where 'the President walks out and disappears on the road,' orchestrated by forces enraged by the Blue House's independent course, leading to a breathless chase against traitors hidden behind the curtain. This work sharply uncovers the harsh truths of international politics concealed behind the glamorous narratives of the media, posing the profound existential question: "What is national sovereignty, and who is the true owner?"

▣ Synopsis (Summary) The next battlefield designed by the shadow capital behind the Ukraine crisis is none other than East Asia, the Korean Peninsula. US Pentagon elites carry out deliberate provocations in the West Sea to drain China's national power and activate the 'East Asia Tragedy,' aiming to automatically involve the Korean military in war and use them as expendable pawns through the chain of wartime operational control.

Kim Kwang-soo, a veteran NIS agent who has crossed the line of death through six administrations, and Park Jin-woo, a Stanford-educated genius statistician who deconstructs the world with numbers, detect this scenario of destruction within subtle patterns of military data.

With time running out, the President and eight military leaders gather in a secret safe house and, with a 'sacred oath' not to automatically sign onto another country's war calculations, begin a dangerous operation to disrupt official command lines and defy US military orders. Park Jin-woo, carrying secret letters and codes, risks his life to infiltrate China, and the subtle system delay errors he designed completely disrupt the initial pace of the war planned by the great powers. However, just as the operation seems to succeed, the President mysteriously disappears due to collusion between the enraged hidden forces and pro-American military elites at home.

Even more bizarre is the bodyguard's testimony that the President was not attacked but 'walked out and boarded the enemy's vehicle of his own accord.' Facing the immense distrust and betrayal lurking within, Kim Kwang-soo and Park Jin-woo once again walk into the darkness of the pier to search for the missing President and save the soul of the nation...

▣ Main Characters President: The commander-in-chief who never loses his clear gaze despite extreme fatigue. Declaring, "Alliances are not meant for a nation to commit suicide," he demands a human decision from the military leaders that transcends laws and treaties for the survival of 50 million people, and becomes a great bait himself, walking behind the curtain.

Kim Kwang-soo (Top National Intelligence Service Agent): A living fossil in this field who survived six regime changes. A graduate of the Korea Military Academy who received military training in Virginia, he realized the harsh truth that 'alliances can always translate into betrayal.' A veteran hunter who crosses the line of death with a sharp mind and body. Park Jin-woo (Head of Data Analysis, Intelligence Department): A Stanford PhD in statistics, a genius mathematician who reads future destruction not through human emotions but only through 'numbers' and patterns. He designs delay programming to paralyze US tactical communication networks and satellite data to slow down the war, and personally carries a letter to the front line.
