Chapter 291 Pax Cheongdam-dong (3)
Coalition for consensus.
This so-called ‘coffee club’ is a group of countries that oppose the entry of Germany, India, Brazil and Japan into the UN Security Council. Korea is also a member.
?Brazil cannot become a permanent member of the Security Council.
-Not as much as Germany.
-India is absolutely impossible.
-Even if you get dirt in your eyes, it won’t be Japan.
As each country joined forces to achieve these goals, a movement opposing the very idea of increasing the number of permanent members of the Security Council began to take hold.
Although they have a chaotic relationship with no special geographical, cultural, or historical connections, they are united by the common goal of ‘I can’t stand to see that guy do well,’ so they cooperate like crazy when it comes to opposing the increase in the number of permanent members of the Security Council.
There are a total of 5 invited countries.
Although not all member countries were present, ambassadors from the four countries that first formed the Coffee Club were all present.
“Let us all raise a toast to this meaningful day, when six countries have gathered at the heart of the G4.”
The ambassadors from the five countries were all amazed by Ha Su-yeong’s divine swordsmanship.
At first I was taken aback because he was wearing chef’s clothes, but he showed off his dazzling sashimi skills that matched his attire.
The knife, which looked like a treasured sword, easily dismembered a huge tuna, cut it into pieces, and cut it into thin, neat slices that were easy to eat, then placed it on a plate.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of alcohol.’
‘What kind of scent is this… …
The ambassadors looked at the seemingly transparent white liquid in the glass and each lost themselves in thought.
The job of an ambassador, representing national diplomacy, is accustomed to all kinds of banquets. In each country you visit, you get to try all kinds of local specialties.
They also tried many traditional liquors while visiting Korea. Soju and makgeolli are the basics.
But this was a drink I had never seen before.
“This is a drink made from strawberries that I grew myself. Unlike regular alcohol, it does not cause brain damage or liver damage at all. It still makes you drunk, but it actually helps your health a lot.”
“Oh, this is the secret recipe of the swimming group. I will drink it with gratitude.”
“It smells really good.”
A drink that makes you drunk but is good for your health? There’s no way such a thing can exist.
The ambassadors drank their drinks, smiling on the outside while thinking that way.
The first scent builds up on the tongue and pushes the deep flavor into the throat.
‘Now, tell me. Why have you invited us here?’
The invitation did not give any special reason for the visit. It was simply a polite request to join them to discuss important issues.
It seems certain that this space was created with an eye on the identity of the coffee club.
The greeting, “Let’s start with a plate of tuna,” is clearly meant to be a metaphor for “Let’s start with a cup of coffee.”
“Japan’s recent actions are unusual. At a time when we should be focusing on recovering from the aftermath of a volcanic eruption, they are instead pouring their energy into other areas.”
When Ha Su-yeong finally started to get to the main point, the ambassadors listened attentively.
“They are pushing for constitutional revision more vigorously than before, aiming to become a normal country capable of waging war. In this difficult time, they are actually increasing military power. Doesn’t it feel very similar to the atmosphere when World War II was taking place?”
“Well, it’s a move that I don’t understand. It’s clear that Japan is not in a position to be concerned about revising the Constitution right now.”
“It seems clear that Japan is intentionally diverting the public’s attention elsewhere in order to hide the current situation in which it has lost its food self-sufficiency.”
The ambassadors showed sympathy for Ha Soo-young’s words, but they could not completely dispel their doubts.
It is no exaggeration to say that Japan’s chances of becoming a permanent member of the Security Council are particularly difficult among the G4.
Although the United States supports it, China is strongly opposed to it and Russia also has a strong negative stance.
Since two dissenting votes are a constant, it is almost impossible for Japan to become a permanent member of the Security Council.
In other words, it is not something that Korea should be the first to make a fuss about.
‘So is it because of the issue of revising the Peace Constitution? Are you trying to pressure Japan by linking it to becoming a permanent member of the Security Council, and want to add our Coffee Club’s help to that?’
‘I heard that Japan’s food situation is currently dependent on the swimming group.’
‘I don’t think our strength will be necessary.’
‘Is it also to secure international legitimacy?’
“I pride myself on knowing Japan better than anyone else in this place, or perhaps in the entire world. I don’t mean I know everything about Japan. I just mean I know how persistently unfaithful they are.”
This statement was too strong.
It would be possible because it is an informal meeting. Also, Ha Su-young does not have any official title other than being a member of the basic assembly.
“I helped Japan by actively supplying food when the country was facing a national famine crisis due to a volcanic eruption.”
Ha Soo-young went around and poured more drinks into the empty glasses.
Although I was still wearing the white chef’s uniform and chef’s hat, strangely enough, I didn’t feel like the dress code was out of place.
“Of course, they made a lot of money by selling food at high prices, but there was another bigger reason. That was because whenever the Japanese government faced internal turmoil, it resolved it by projecting its discontent onto the outside world.”
“It is a time-honored tradition that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.”
Ha Soo-young’s eyes scanned the lines one by one.
“This time, they are trying to divert the people’s attention from the volcanic eruption by forcibly pushing through a constitutional amendment. Once they become a normal country capable of waging war, their next move is obvious. It is the advancement of the permanent members into the private sector.”
“We will push forward with an incredible momentum that is probably incomparable to anything we have seen so far.”
The ambassadors could not quite imagine the scene in which Ha Soo-young spoke as if he had seen it in advance, but they agreed that it made sense.
“Recall the Pearl Harbor raid. If I hit them hard, they will cry and beg me to please make up. This is a passive state.”
There was no line that broke the serious atmosphere by saying, “We are not America.”
However, I understood what Ha Su-young was trying to say, that Japan’s recklessness was beyond imagination.
“Japan has a drive that goes beyond madness. That’s why we have to stop it from kneeling down to gain the drive. We have to break the crucible and make it so that it can’t hit the ground.”
It was the first time the ambassadors met Ha Su-young in person.
They realized that Ha Soo-young’s character, which they were familiar with, had been softened and purified more than they had expected.
Even though it was a private meeting, it is strange to make such a level of remark about a country in front of ambassadors representing each country.
“Then how do you plan to prevent Japan from becoming a normal nation?”
“The first move is the surest win. Sitting still and reacting always results in a loss. You’ll just be swayed by the opponent’s moves.”
“So, you’re saying we should strike first?”
“Of course, the Coffee Club has done a good job of making a mark on the international stage so far. But what I’m talking about is a little different.”
“If it is different, do you have any suggestions?”
“There’s no reason why we can’t become a permanent member of the Security Council, right?”
At those words, a silent smile spread across the ambassadors’ faces.
It’s not that I’m making fun of Ha Soo-young, but I shared that it was an unrealistic strategy without even saying anything.
“Representative Ha Su-young, the basic premise that our union has formed in the international community is opposition to increasing the number of permanent members.”
“Countries that are not members of the coalition but are sympathetic to the coalition are supporting it precisely because of its opposition to the expansion.”
“But if one of our standing members plays the counter-card of advancing to the four countries, how would we be any different from the G4?”
“Countries that support the alliance will eventually turn their backs in disappointment, thinking that we are doing the same thing as the G4.”
By setting fire to each other, you turn the battlefield into a quagmire, leaving your opponent stuck in a state where they can’t do anything.
It’s not that the coalition hasn’t thought about such a strategy.
But it is not effective, either. It is a strategy that breaks the grand agreement to oppose the increase of permanent members.
“Well, there is no need for the union to put forward a country that wants to become a permanent member of the Security Council. I will take on that role.”
Ha Soo-young continued speaking without changing her expression, as if she had expected such a reaction.
“The coalition can just use this kind of counterattack to trample on Japan’s efforts to become a normal country. That’s exactly what I hope for. In other words, they should actively take advantage of my actions.”
“South Korea? But South Korea is also a member of the alliance. In the end, if South Korea fights back, there will be a grand agreement to oppose the expansion… …
“This is not the Republic of Korea.”
“Not the Republic of Korea? What the heck… …
What on earth does this mean, this isn’t Korea?
The doubt spread to the marrow for a moment, but the ambassadors soon realized what Ha Soo-young had not said.
“Are you from the New World?”
“Are you saying that China and Korea will step forward as a country hoping to become a permanent member of the Security Council?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
The ambassadors’ expressions turned bewildered, but soon serious calculations began to take hold.
‘Assemblyman Ha Su-yeong is the father of the nation and no different from the former monarch. No, he has more power and authority than the king.’
‘The United States will not oppose Rep. Ha Soo-young’s will either, so let’s start by getting one vote in favor.’
‘It’s not an attempt that seems completely unrealistic to others. That’s important.’
The goal is not to make China a permanent member of the Security Council.
It is important that it appears plausible on the international stage, that is, actively encourage and utilize fakes.
“I will do everything I can to make China a permanent member of the Security Council. No, I will show that I am making such efforts. At least I must be sincere in my approach so that I can thoroughly deceive others.”
“I understand what you mean. We just need to make good use of it.”
“Would it be okay to hinder Japan’s efforts to normalize its nation-state by maintaining a different attitude from the G4, that is, a pro-China stance?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Everyone understood what Ha Soo-young was trying to say.
I can’t stand seeing G4 needles whining about wanting to become a permanent member of the Security Council. It would be better to support China and Korea, which are doing very well.
The intention must have been to thwart Japan’s efforts through this agreed-upon diversionary operation.
“Everyone, despite the difficult times we are going through, Japan is pushing for constitutional revision. If we leave this alone, it will eventually cause a real war and try to become a permanent member of the Security Council. We need to stop it at the beginning.”
Ha Soo-young held each ambassador’s hand tightly and gave them instructions.
“It is said that if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own army. I will deceive myself first. From this moment on, my goal is to make China a permanent member of the Security Council. You should actively utilize this to complete the ultimate goal of the alliance.”
