Chapter 286: A feast for the flounder fry (1)
All the key figures of the newly launched Chinese government gathered in one place.
A full course meal of all kinds of delicacies was spread out before them, but no one was willing to touch it.
It’s not that I don’t have an appetite, it’s that I have a more important event coming up.
Clank. Clank.
The sound of metal armor clashing while moving rang out, and everyone in the new government, including Yoon Tae-ho, stood up tensely.
“Ah, everyone is sitting down.”
At Ha Su-young’s words, everyone quickly sat down in their seats.
The sight of him wearing a full body metal armor that shone golden was truly dazzling.
With only his face exposed and no helmet on, he looked like a tycoon from a myth.
Sigh. Sigh.
Suddenly the wooden floor gave way, and Ha Su-yeong grumbled lightly.
“The tree must have gotten wet. It’s been raining so much lately.”
‘That solid wooden floor will cave in just because you step on it once?’
The new government officials were shocked.
Oh my goodness, how heavy is the armor that the King is wearing right now?
“Now, I will brief you on the national vision that China and Korea should pursue. Everyone, please listen while you eat comfortably.”
At those words, everyone simultaneously picked up their spoons.
This is thanks to the thorough acceptance of every single command, even the light comment to eat comfortably.
“As we all know, the world is in quite a mess right now.”
From the beginning, the new government officials were very nervous about the unusual choice of words.
Even without Ha Soo-young’s instructions, the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield appeared on the large screen.
“The world economy is already heading towards the abyss due to the Russo-Japanese War. Even if the war were to end today, it would be an incomplete end that would spark a follow-up war. Europe, which has lost its energy supply, is trying to return to nuclear power as if it had never done so before.”
The screen changed.
“The water level of the Three Gorges Dam is dropping day by day. China is suffering from the worst drought ever. Those clouds are now moving towards Europe and the Americas, pouring down water that has been pumped from the sea.”
The northern part of the Korean peninsula, centered around North Pyongan Province and Hamgyeong Province, was reflected.
“Not long ago, Russia and China imported astronomical amounts of food from our farms. This is partly to prepare for the protracted food problem, but the biggest purpose is to stockpile military supplies in advance in case another war breaks out after the Russo-Chinese War.”
The phrase “Feel free to ask questions” appeared on the large screen, and everyone in the new government raised their hands without exception.
“Minister Lee Wi-chan, please ask your question.”
“Is another war that China and Russia are preparing for an invasion of the Korean Peninsula?”
“Yes, everyone thinks it’s possible, but the parties involved are desperately denying it.”
Another question arose.
“Then shouldn’t we stop exporting food to China and Russia?”
“It does have the effect of tightening their cash flow a little, but more importantly, it is a sin for farmers to hoard rice and not sell it.”
“…….”
“…….”
“I am supporting the reconstruction of China with the money I earned from selling rice. Do you all know that?”
“I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty!”
Now, instead of openly calling him the father of the nation, they are subtly calling him the lord of the nation.
“A second Korean War is inevitable. Of course, not for China, South Korea, or us, but for all countries except us, the outbreak of a Korean War is urgent.”
“…….”
“No country is now free from the food and energy crisis except the United States. So are Russia, China, Europe, Japan, Africa, India and Australia.”
Food and energy problems.
Any developed country inevitably stumbles over one of these, except for Korea and the United States.
“But Suyeong Farm has the perfect solution to both of those problems. In addition, Suyeong Farm cannot be pressured by other Korean companies with the problem of importing raw materials or equipment parts. From their perspective, there is no weakness to attack.”
The raw materials that the swimming group mainly consumes are titanium, copper, and silicon, but a large-scale ore vein was recently discovered in the country, so they procure all of it themselves.
Other imported raw materials are not concentrated in specific countries and can be easily procured.
“The swimming farm imports most of its essential materials, parts, and equipment from the United States. It has close to $4 trillion in cash, most of which is in U.S. currency accounts, so it’s very safe. This is confidential, but it also has close to 3,000 tons of gold.”
Ha Soo-young let out a deep sigh.
“How much would neighboring countries covet such a perfect company?”
“That’s right, my lord!”
“China, Russia and Japan are desperately trying to seize the opportunity to start a second Korean War. And the perfect trigger is right there, begging for it, right above our heads.”
No one ever said, “Then why don’t we just starve North Korea to death?”
If we cut off Shin Doo’s support, North Korea will attempt to commit suicide with nuclear weapons.
No matter how excellent the US interception system was, they thought it would not be able to block all the indiscriminate missile attacks.
A single nuclear attack would spell destruction for this side.
“That is why the rapid growth and stability of China, which plays the role of a tanker, are more important than anything else. The war on the Korean Peninsula could happen right after the end of the Russian War, within ten years, or later. The important thing is that as the food problem caused by the climate crisis accelerates, it will eventually explode someday.”
“I will keep that in mind, Your Majesty.”
“Please tell us what we should do. We will all follow with all our hearts.”
Everyone showed off their confidence and bravery.
It’s like a pack of puppies desperately wagging their tails in front of their owner.
“Unlike the external situation, thanks to the swimming farm, Korea’s internal situation is now comfortable. We have an abundance of rice, fish, electricity, and everything else.”
As soon as the story of Korea came up, anger began to appear on the faces of the new government officials.
They were not very familiar with international affairs, but they were well-versed in the Korean situation. This was because they were always keeping a close eye on it.
“You know there’s a fuss going on right now because we provided only 1 trillion dollars for national reconstruction? They’re even talking about a search and seizure for illegal remittances to North Korea. Anyway, the rich are the ones who are suffering more.”
“It is surprising that there are still forces that dare to undermine the King.”
“Pest extermination should be done periodically. Once you do it, it will be clean for a while, but after a while, it will come back. But you don’t have to worry too much. Just enjoy it.”
“yes?”
“Z, enjoying it…….”
Even though they knew it was rude, the new government officials were greatly embarrassed.
I never thought that at this timing, out of the blue, someone would come up and say, let’s just enjoy it.
“The baby loach thinks they are full-grown mullet and are running wild, so let’s just watch them have fun. You guys must never take your eyes off this loach show. Got it?”
“All right!”
Although the last request seemed to have taken a strange turn, the loyal new government officials responded vigorously.

Ha Soo-young called Yoon Tae-ho aside and spoke with a serious expression.
“I couldn’t tell you all about it earlier because there were too many people, but the situation in the South is serious right now.”
“Is that it?”
Yoon Tae-ho, who didn’t know that Ha Soo-young would show such a serious expression, became nervous without realizing it.
‘That can’t be, the influence the King has in South Korea is so formidable that even the cabinet system amendment would never have passed without the King’s tacit approval.’
The number of people in Korea whose livelihoods are directly dependent on Ha Soo-young would exceed ten million.
If we just gather those people together, wouldn’t they dare touch him?
Even the current president, Park Boo-sung, who was elected with 71% of the votes, is on a relatively friendly basis with Ha Soo-young?
“If this gets even a little off track, I might be forced to become the king of Korea.”
“…….”
“The angle is just right now.”
In the midst of countless wars, it was common for someone to achieve world unification or become the lifelong supreme power in Korea by doing something.
This time, I was trying to farm comfortably, so whenever I felt something strange, I would go as far away as possible, but in the end, the flow of the world kept chasing me.
“This is called a kill-gak, no, a king-gak, and there is a flow that only experienced people can see. The flow has set in right now. I’m going crazy.”
“Then how about you seriously take over power in South Korea?”
“Even if you were the king of Korea, you would only receive complaints every day asking for this and that. Just imagine how tiring that would be. Mr. President.”
“…….”
“Anyway, the atmosphere in Korea right now is very serious. But since he is the president, I think he should be aware of it, so I’m telling you separately.”
“It is an honor. I will keep your secret.”
“It’s good to consult with trustworthy confidants. The functions of the AI government are administrative and judicial, not political or diplomatic.”
Yoon Tae-ho thought quietly to himself.
Is this really that serious?
‘Look here, comrade.’
‘Yes, Comrade President!’
‘South Korea is in trouble right now. If we make a mistake, our country’s leader… … .’
‘Huh! What are these guys doing to our lord!’
‘Maybe he’ll take over South Korea later and become king by force.’
‘Yes? Comrade? What do you mean?’
Yoon Tae-ho quietly criticized himself for using the words comrade and comrade, even though it was only in his imagination.

Ha Su-yeong started to frequent Junghan frequently.
I stayed in China about 4 days a week.
He didn’t go alone, but Jang Hyo-joo, Jeong Seo-hee, Romanoff, and Mireah also took turns accompanying him.
Protests demanding the cancellation of the $1 trillion aid were growing louder by the day.
There were also considerable counter-protests that were seen as an exercise of individual property rights and ultimately a path toward peace on the Korean Peninsula.
While the world is suffering greatly from soaring prices and high interest rates, prices in Korea have maintained a strange form of polarization between cheap food prices and high prices for other things.
Meanwhile, Japan’s excellent technicians lost their jobs and had nowhere to go, so they eventually began coming to Korea to find work.
“Oh my god! There’s Android Freedom here too!”
Japanese foreign workers who first learned that Korea was the birthplace of Android Freedom were momentarily frustrated.
However, I was barely able to feel reassured after hearing the explanation that it would only be applied to extremely limited areas such as agriculture, semiconductors, and housekeeping.
-Don’t worry, the androids in the swimming group won’t take your job.
-We only take care of children, elderly mothers, and patients with limited mobility so that you can work safely and busily at your workplace.
Japanese experts began to continuously come to Korea and settle down there.
