Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 230
Chapter 82. sprout of democracy
– The old days were good.
Originally, all human beings, irrespective of East and West, have the characteristic of beautifying the past.
The objectively beautiful past is natural, and even the days that were clearly painful, meaningless, or tragic from a third person’s point of view, the wave of time embellishes and exaggerates all these things, with the magic that makes you think, ‘If you think about it, then it was better than now’ have.
As is often seen in cases where the elderly remember their youth, in fact, in this case, it is not that those times were really good, but rather the brightest times in life that have already passed, nostalgia and regret for their youth or heyday. that would be right
The problem, however, is that those who do not just fold the perfume away from the perfume, but want to turn back the clock hands that have already passed, even those who cut reality based on their memories and live faithfully in the present to meet the extremely beautified standard. that there are a lot of them in reality.
And there were definitely patients with masochism or Stockholm syndrome who reached the level of automatically adapting their selective memory to the extreme, a time of unilateral abuse, a time when they were just slaves, into a ‘time when sweats shone’.
The main system of the current Hakchongryon was the people who fell into such self-indoctrination.
“… … It’s crazy. How is it possible to come up with a giraffe idea? Ah, no, of course, I am not saying that President Kim Il-sung’s line of Juche ideology is wrong, but… … . Because it’s a wild animal, back then, our republic was bigger than it is now… … . adventure… … .”
“Comrade Deputy Director Jang may not understand, but it is possible. Such comrades appeared even at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union and afterward. Especially if you were once military officers.”
It was a mixed reaction of Jang Seong-taek, who bit his tongue as if it was ridiculous, and Baek Seung-cheol, who once again gave his bitter taste as if he understood enough.
As the audience’s eyes turned to him, Baek Seung-cheol added an ambiguous explanation with his eyes mixed with half bitterness, half emotion, and many other subtle emotions.
“Did not Russia or our republic at one time follow a political line in which the military officers and the military took precedence over the party or the cabinet? Even today, in Russia, there are many comrades who fall into criminals after longing for the days of the Soviet Union, when it was strong after the economic downturn, at least for military officers, when it was a paradise for military personnel.
“But, regardless of whether they are active duty or not, is the treatment of military officers and subordinates different now than they were then? In those days, if I had to say that I cared a little more than other ordinary citizens, it was eating a few more seed potatoes and getting the ration a little earlier. … .”
“It doesn’t really matter if there is a difference in treatment or not. It is important that the comrades themselves feel that way. For these comrades, the Juche ideology was the heyday of their lives, a time when no one saw them as daylight, but among low-ranking military officers, those comrades who once rose to the rank of left-ranking military officers were often on the same board? ”
In fact, this point of Baek Seung-cheol was accurate.
Jeonghwan’s military reduction work, which was inevitable after reform and opening up, of course, started with cutting the majority of the officers piled up inside the People’s Army. The number of military officers in the military was enormous.
Of course, in the process, taking into account any possible backlash against the regime, they gave consideration to the minimum protection measures such as taxi business rights, but of course, all of them were not able to enjoy a stable life by escaping from the military and adapting to the capitalist competition system.

No, no matter how materially compensated, they now have no place to go and feel that they have been withdrawn from the center of society. enough to join theA senior military officer who once commanded more than a thousand regiments is now obliged to scan barcodes at the checkout counters of Bukmyung Group outlets.
During training, the Special Forces Guard Commander who killed and roasted a few cattle and pigs from nearby farms without any punishment was now praying for a Pyongyang nightclub.
Therefore, to them, the Juche idea was something that had more than material meaning, something that reminded them of the days when they were more important.
-I liked it better than before! Even if we starved for food and lived in a house where the electric light was lit every now and then, did no one ignore us back then?
-Now, the Republic is not eating well and living well, but rather, life has become more difficult due to the lust for money! Let’s go back to the nostalgic days when all the people were equal and lived in harmony with each other!
Of course, among them, if you ask them to explain what the Juche idea really is, and how it actually has a positive effect on their real lives, the nostalgia of a time when most of the humans would say, ‘It was good!’ Because it is not an area that can be explained by logic.
Jeonghwan, who was calm until he heard the first two types, wiggled his eyebrows when the explanation of the third type, the subject system, was finished.
Other than that, the situation where the followers of the Juche ideology are running again was absolutely unacceptable.
Kyunghwan, who had hardened his heart, said.
“Then the conclusion is made. It is certain that any faction cannot be left alone in order to maintain the achievements our Party and the Republic have built so far.”
“Do you have any clever strategies in mind, Comrade General Secretary?”
“I have to split it up first. After that, if we fight each other and become weak, then we will go and defeat each one individually, and we will pick up only those we need from among them and collect them.”
Jeonghwan said in annoyance as if there was no need to worry too much.
In the first place, there was enough data and knowledge to respond to these system threats through Korea in the 1970s and 1980s, so it was only necessary to put it into practice.
And Director Kim in front of him was one of those masters.
“You are truly right. First of all, we divide these three factions into a greenery project… … No, should it be called a redistribution project? … . So, there are things you need to do first to make it compliant.”
“What is that?”
“A department that is expert in crushing and checking in on these threats to the system, an action unit and experts who will take the lead in defending the regime of the General Secretary. Resurrect the Bowibu. Of course, the name needs to be changed, but… … .”
“Hmm, the resurrection of the Bowibu… … . What do you all think of Chief Kim’s opinion, comrades?”
“… … Well. … … adventure,”
Bowibu.
When the name, which was terrifying to the people, but even more terrifying to party officials in a sense, was mentioned in the mouth of Director Kim, who was not a citizen of any other country but a South Korean, some older executives did not hide their discomfort and coughed in vain. .
However, what was unexpected was the reaction of Jang Seong-taek, who seemed most uncomfortable with the revival of the National Security Agency, and most of the Politburo executives.
“Ah, I agree with what Comrade Kim said. In the meantime, I have felt a bit neglectful in protecting the leader of the leader, which is the duty of the party cadres, to live urgently and focus only on winning the systemic competition. Isn’t that proof that you didn’t?”
“That’s right! Deputy Chief of Staff Comrade Jang! In the meantime, the people have been freed too much, but whoever made them eat well and live a good life has not gone wild! It must be thoroughly crushed with fire and lightning at the beginning, and the one-man leadership system of this republic’s general secretary must be put on the rock!”
“You are so right! The general secretary must send down the ordinance to thoroughly search out and defeat the reactionaries of ingratitude that do not know this grace!”
‘Hmm, it’s clear that their necks and wallets get caught, so you’re changing your posture faster than anyone else. That’s why I like money.’
Some of the party officials looked surprised, but Jeong-hwan, who had expected such a reaction earlier, thought so inwardly and smiled.

Now, as a result of steadily walking the path of a market economy for over 15 years, North Korea has already reached the point of no return.Read at noblemtl.com
No one wants to go back to the old days because of the marked change in the consciousness of the party cadres as well as the common people.In particular, high-ranking party officials such as Jang Song-thaek were enjoying a much more economically prosperous and comfortable life than before, while preserving their political position for 15 years under Jeong-hwan’s new regime. But what about parliamentary democracy? Even the Juche idea?

No matter how good the evaluation is, it is the struggles of young children who do not know the world about the world and old people in the back room who have not adapted to the changes of the times, and if it is more frankly evaluated, it is a potential harm that may threaten their vested interests. It was natural.Of course, in the Kim Jong-il era and now, Jang Song-thaek and other party officials were in the power class, but if they were in power, wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to become a power class in an advanced country who eats well and lives well than the power class in a closed, collapsed state?
Moreover, the current supreme leader, Jeong-hwan, is like Kim Jong-il, an incompetent maniac with severe suspicious disease, he has a disrespectful attitude toward the leader, he does not engage in vicious acts of sending three generations of executives to Aoji. .
15 years of capitalist economy has made the executives, who are no one else, the most ardent loyalists of the supreme leader Kim Jung-hwan system, the symbol of the present capitalist North Korea, their ‘Ground on Earth’.
When the executives raised their voices saying that they had to beat the reactionaries, regardless of you, Jeonghwan pretended not to win, smiled and nodded his head.
“Okay, if your comrades say so, then there’s no reason to hesitate.”
“I went as fast as I could and did my best to covertly and swiftly crush the recoils! Comrade General Secretary!”
When the general secretary and the executives agreed with each other, the creation of a large administrative agency at the sub-level was decided in an instant.
If you look at the current situation, that is, even now, 17 years after Jeong-hwan became general secretary, there were still unreasonable institutions that were the successors of the National Security Agency.
Of course, the number of personnel, budget, and business scope have been drastically reduced, and the status has been downgraded and the name has been changed.
It was the Workers’ Party of Korea Counterintelligence Bureau, a department under the Party that was exclusively responsible for the detection of domestic spies (mainly China) and drug investigations.
Of course, this was not because Jeong Hwan was not interested in protecting and maintaining the current system he had established or because he did not know how to dissatisfied with the system, it was just part of disarmament for administrative convenience and budget reduction.
It was because the two paranoid patients, Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, who died in the first place, greatly enlarged the Military Security Bureau and the State Security Department, and then prevented them from starting a rebellion, and twisted the command system. .
In addition, it is extremely dangerous to entrust the security of the new system that Jeong Hwan will create to an institution that has been collecting only people who are fanatical loyal to the rich Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il for decades. It was only now that I was able to feel relieved after washing.
Therefore, the creation of an anti-intelligence-internal security agency to become a new hunting dog of the party and the leader and protect the Kim Jong-hwan regime had to start with the promotion and strengthening of this weakened counter-intelligence station.
In fact, Junghwan had already prepared his name for a long time.
“I have already decided on a name. Actually, it’s a name that is used a lot in neighboring countries, so I don’t think the people will have any objection.”
“there… … . Hmmm, what kind of comrades do you think the general secretary is the leader of this institution and the head is… … .”
“I have someone in mind, but I will leave it vacant for the time being. During that time, I will direct this institution.”
“Ah, I got it!”
Thus, thanks to the support of the existing executives, the supreme leader took over as the head of the institution, even temporarily. Jun This formidable institution was named:
– National Public Security Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Ministry of Public Security.
Thus, over the next few years, the North Korean Ministry of Public Security was launched as an agency acting as the party and secretary-general of authority to the 33 million people of North Korea, as well as the main enemy of all those who oppose the Kim Jong-hwan system, as well as the ungodly supporter.
However, for such a grand launch, the first action after the establishment of the Ministry of Public Security was very surprising, to what extent it was surprising to the extent that the Hakchongryon, which was in a state of nerves not knowing when the party’s repression would begin, was so excited to hear the message of this Ministry of Public Security. It was surprising.
The message was as follows:
– The Ministry of Public Security of the Workers’ Party of Korea is positively considering reflecting some of the demands of the Hak Chongryon. However, since we cannot satisfy all conditions, we recommend that you first organize a leadership and a chairperson to come to the negotiating table to represent the Hakchon-ryon side for mutual compromise and coordination.
