Dear Comrade the Leader, Episode 179
– Respected and loving people! Today, I, Min-jung Yoo, was inaugurated as the 15th President of the Republic of Korea. The historical significance of this inauguration ceremony today is truly great. This government is a true ‘government of the people’, achieved by the power of the people. It is also a government that seeks to end the long-standing tangible and intangible confrontation and boundaries between the South and the North and further promote relations while simultaneously developing democracy and economy.
Hurup.
On a still chilly February morning at 10:00, Jung-hwan was drinking coffee in the secretary’s office and watching the live broadcast of the inauguration ceremony of Yu Min-jung, the 15th president of Korea.
The end of 1997, when even the word “dasadanan” was not enough, was almost two months ago.
President No, the South Korean public’s opposition to the acquisition of insolvent companies on the premise of accepting the loan from North Korea announced by former President Park Yi-sam and maintaining employment was surprisingly less than expected.
In the process of suppressing the coup that the Ministry of Security and Security, part of the ruling party, and the remnants of the former new military powers colluded, words had already leaked through various channels, including the media.
However, for several months, controversy continued by experts from various fields through the newspapers.
In many ways, there was a reason that public opinion gathered that the conditions proposed by Jung Hwan were much more generous than those proposed by the IMF.
Of course, that it was ‘less than expected’ to the end, and it was by no means that there was no backlash with surprise and anger at the fact that the companies had to be turned over after receiving a loan from the North.
– Fellow Koreans, I stand here today with a really heavy heart. About a few weeks ago today, after reviewing the offer of a loan from Kim Jeong-hwan, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, for the economic crisis that the Republic of Korea is experiencing… … .
‘Park Yi-sam! You bastard of a traitor who can’t even tear it apart and kill it! Your name will remain as the one who sold the country to North Korea for generations to come!’
‘President Park! You were elected as ‘the most despised person in constitutional history’ in a university town opinion poll, how do you feel?’
‘Get the ex-presidents out of jail right now! What kind of president are you! How much did you get from North Korea’s Gajeong-hwan by cooperating with Yu Min-jung?’
‘Oh, don’t do that! So the coup d’etats did a good job, now?’
The fact that public opinion against Park Yi-sam was not so harsh was entirely thanks to Park Yi-sam’s hard-line attitude and determination during the suppression of the coup.
It is too far-fetched to think that it is because the last moment of the civil government, which was stained with numerous accidents, failures, errors, and defeats, reminded voters of ‘Democratic fighter Lee-Sam Park’ rather than ‘Politician Lee-Sam Park’. interpretation?
“Park Se-hwang, you are almost the only person in the Republic of Korea who has become as much attention as the elected Yu Min-jung. Have you ever thought about the life of a politician?”
“Not at all, not even a fingernail.”
The fact that public opinion’s criticism of Park Yi-sam was blunted also played a part in the active defense of Park Se-hwang, the ‘Black Venus’ who became a figure of the century in an instant.
Park Se-hwang, who performed spy missions across North and South Korea, served as a special envoy for the veiled North Korean general secretary, and eventually even prevented a coup d’état in his home country, became a star in an instant.
In a way, it was natural for him to receive a love call from Yeouido, who became a star on both progressive and conservative sides, to the extent that the Goryeo Ilbo published an editorial about whether he should be awarded the Taegeuk Military Service Medal instead of the Eulji Military Service Medal in the Yu Min-jung government.
But he refused all of that.
“After I fulfill my duty to the country, I will return to the father of a natural and small citizen, Jeong-min. It is because there are people who have shown how difficult and difficult it is to be a politician, even for a moment. And whoever was in the shade must remain in the shade to the end.”
“Is it because you are upset that you escaped with the help of our Republican agents? He doesn’t look like that, but he is a comrade who knows the loyalty and degree of a military officer.”
“It’s a good thing for us.”
As pointed out by Yoo Hye-rim, the fact that Park Se-hwang escaped from the safe house of the Ministry of Security and Security with the help of the North’s General Bureau of External Reconnaissance was kept a secret until the end.
The sudden explosion of a tear gas cannon at a safe house in the middle of Seoul was buried in the dark after being treated as a terrorist act by a South Korean left-wing group that was dissatisfied with the coercive behavior of the Ministry of Security and Security.
It was determined that there would be no benefit to the South Korean or North Korean side of informing them.
As the existence of the North Korean Reconnaissance General Bureau was so hidden, it was funny and funny that Park Se-hwang escaped from a safe house guarded by more than a dozen National Security Agency agents by himself, and became known as a truly human weapon.
It is said that a movie inspired by Park Se-hwang’s current activities, starring a famous male actor with the surname Han, is scheduled to be released next year and entered the crank-in.
What kind of fish is the movie titled?
– Also, I would like to express my gratitude to President Lee Hyun-chang, who took the lead in the investigation of the 11th coup d’etat in constitutional history that took place recently. I hope this will be the starting point of such a productive and balanced relationship between the National Assembly and the Blue House, which cooperates when they cooperate for the sake of the people and monitors when they monitor.
“I wonder if the next president of South Korea will be a lawmaker named Lee Hyun-chang? Still, I did not know that he would take the lead in purging his party members so quickly. ”
“If you look at the good, there are principles, but if you look at the bad… … don’t cut the tail. After all, his influence in Yeouido is still strong and he’s not that old yet, so it’s enough to aim for the next opportunity.”
Immediately after the fact of the coup was announced by Park Se-hwang, the reactions of the presidential candidates at the time were mixed.
As someone who has already experienced the beatings of a military dictatorship several times, he immediately informed the Blue House and focused on preventing the risk of a coup d’état in advance through media interviews and public announcements.
Its speed and accuracy were almost enough to feel professionalism like a ‘professional in establishing democracy in a dictatorship’, so Jeonghwan admired it in his heart.
And Lee Hyun-chang, like Yoo Min-joong’s thank-you speech and Jeong-hwan’s evaluation, also helped to find out all the coup d’etats and bring them to the hearing.
What Jung-hwan only evaluated was the relentless swiftness and stubbornness that Hyun-chang Lee showed despite the fact that the unprecedented incident was caused by the members of the Liberal Party.
“Hey, did you say Park Se-hwang? Not long ago, I was also subtly invited to participate in such a disturbing work. I didn’t know it at the time, but now that I see it, I almost certainly participated in the coup d’etat. I know the lawmaker who tried to convince me, so let’s go to the Blue House with me right now.”
Surprisingly, it was Lee Hyun-chang, not Yoo Min-joong, who first sympathized with Park Se-hwang, who told the candidates this incredible story in the waiting room of the broadcasting station.
He was the first person the coup d’état forces came to ‘seeker’, but the fact that he voluntarily reported the fact immediately and took the lead in accusing members of the Liberal Party who took part in the coup was indeed what could be called a hidden card of the conservatives.
Thanks to this, despite the fact that he almost became president in a coup d’etat, he sat in the front row of Yoo Min-jung’s inauguration ceremony and delivered Yu Min-jung’s inaugural speech saying, “I will innovate the security service and reform the National Security Agency into a non-political organization called the National Intelligence Service.” could hear
Of course, even if he lost the election, there was a calculation that Yu Min-jung, who declared a halt to political retaliation, would not be able to take care of him, who still had strong support from conservative voters and a strong foundation within the party… … .
On the other hand, in the case of Kim Jun-pil, the opposite was very bad luck.
“There, PD, let’s hear a story. Aren’t you a recipient of the Eulji Military Medal of Merit?”
“But President Kim… … .”
“Oh, it’s okay. When I was prime minister, the country was never so cruel to patriotic ex-military soldiers. It’s all because the country’s livelihood is getting tougher. … .”
I don’t know if this is an irony of history, but it was none other than Kim Jun-pil, president of the Democratic Liberation Union, who indirectly participated in the coup, who gave permission to let Park Se-hwang, who had been struggling with the PD in the vicinity of the waiting room of the performers, holding the Medal of Merit from Eulji.
Probably because he didn’t know Park Se-hwang’s face, he would have said that without thinking about image management, but when it was revealed that Kim Jun-pil himself was trying to be elected president in cooperation with the coup force, his expression was really worth seeing.
He vehemently denied it and was criticized for saying it was inappropriate to arrest a candidate during the presidential election, so he avoided going to jail right away. It was everyone’s opinion that it was thrown away.
In a form that is truly different from the original history, the era of the three chiefs, Yi-Sam Park, Min-Jung Yoo, and Jun-Pil Kim, has come to an end.
-… … And former US President George Herbert Walker Bush, who was here to celebrate my inauguration, former German President von Weitzzecker, Philippine President Corazon Aquino, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, pop singer I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the guests, including distinguished guests from home and abroad, including Michael Jackson, world-class investor George Soros, and above all, former President Park Yi-sam.
“Hmm, he was an unofficial peace gesture messenger at the beginning of his inauguration, so that’s the perfect Jinyong. In any case, we cannot go directly to this state of affairs.”
“This is because the people of South Korea, right after losing the systemic competition, will radiate narrow jealousy and anger at Comrade Jeong Hwan’s leadership. The South Korean officials who block it must also be hard workers, so your comrade showed the tolerance of down, the highest leadership in Joseon.”
It was Jeonghwan who asked Margaret Thatcher and Michael Jackson to attend Yoo Min-joong’s inauguration ceremony and shine, according to Hye-rim Yoo’s selfish praise.
It was one of the agreements between the two sides through a special delegation, which included the governor of the Bank of Korea, who visited Pyongyang at the end of last year to sign the loan agreement and return.
Among them, there were formal ones such as the establishment of a hotline between the North and South Korean leaders, but there were also informal agreements like this.
As usual, it is normal for North Korea to send a heavy greeting, and Jeong Hwan also thought for a while whether to send Kim Young-nam to the inauguration ceremony, but the South Korean side has politely and vehemently opposed it.
In a sensitive time like now, he was a sensitive elected candidate, and he asked for a little consideration of the extremely angry Korean people’s feelings.
Although the words themselves are true, some members of the Politburo were outraged by the fact that they were slapped on the face by lending money from North Korea’s point of view.
In any case, all those invited by Jeong-hwan’s arrangement readily accepted, and if all world-famous figures from Yu Min-jung’s side attended, there would be no harm.
So, today, at the inauguration of the 15th president of the Republic of Korea, Michael Jackson wearing sunglasses and a fedora hat and Margaret Thatcher in a neat women’s suit were sitting side by side in the VIP seat.
Jeonghwan also understood the practical necessity of these measures, and also understood that it would be very uncomfortable for both North and South Korea if a North Korean official came to the inauguration ceremony of Yu Min-jung, who barely escaped the offensive of color theory, and sat there, but he was a bit grumpy because it was true. .
What was that grumpy thing about, it was today’s event.
-We are avoiding the catastrophe of Inama thanks to the cooperation of the people united in patriotism, the traditional allies, the United States, and the North’s help that broke the silence for more than 10 years and did not turn away from the crisis of the same compatriots and peoples. Thanks. Fellow Koreans, we are all sweating and tearing up right now… … pain is demanded.
“Huh, but you mention it in your inauguration speech. So let’s go now. Lieutenant Yu. We also have a schedule today, so… … yes?”
Jeonghwan got up from his seat and was about to head out of the secretary’s office, but he couldn’t help but be surprised by the warm feeling he felt in his hand.
As he was about to get up from his seat, Hyerim Yoo’s hand came up to her right hand and grabbed her tightly.
“… … Lieutenant Yu?”
“Come to think of it, this year is the 10th year with the comrade.”
“… … What ten years?”
“Can’t you remember? In October 1988, ten years ago, the Comrade took office as General Secretary Bowie. This is exactly 10 years.”
“ah.”
It was then that Jeonghwan realized what Hyerim Yoo was talking about.
Although he himself had forgotten it, this year was the 10th year since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, in which Jung-hwan became the number one leader in North Korea by destroying the Ryugyong Hotel and launching a coup d’état.
Jung-hwan, like the previous leaders, hated the grand 10th anniversary ceremony and other events as a waste of money, so even he had forgotten about it, but Yoo Hye-rim was the only one who remembered it.
“A lot has happened during that time. There is a long way to go in the future, but I always wanted to convey these words. I really appreciate it.”
