I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 116

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (116)

“How many casualties are there?”

“One civilian was killed and 17 military and police officers were injured.”

This is Daedeok-gun, Chungcheong-do,

I entered the government building and received reports from the ministers.

The relocation of the administrative capital has been gaining momentum recently. It is the place that will become the capital of Korea, so shouldn’t the president come and take a look?

The capital was vacated for a while, but at that very moment, armed guerrillas infiltrated.

‘You idiot, you just don’t have any thoughts?’

It was a serious incident where people died or were injured, but I couldn’t help but laugh at Kim Il-sung.

I understand that you want to kill me, but shouldn’t you consider the context before sending an assassination squad?

I need to find out exactly where the President of Korea is and send someone, I’ve been down here for a week.

In addition, Gyeongseong is a region with 100,000 military and police officers stationed there, so sending an infiltration team here is thoughtless.

Is secretly sending assassins to assassinate people a guerrilla warfare?

I knew it was stupid, but this incident proved once again that Kim Il-sung is a guy who does things without a plan.

‘I didn’t lose anything. You guys just lost a lot.’

If you look closely, Korea suffered little damage.

It is unfortunate that one civilian died and 17 were injured, and as a result, the concept that “North Korea is our main enemy” has become ingrained in Korean society.

In this atmosphere, if I give the order to advance north, will the people rebel?

It’s not that I don’t go to war because I’m afraid of attacking North Korea.

You think we should push into the North because we have the power to defeat it? If we start a war without a justification and civilians die, I will be the one who should be killed too.

But North Korea sent armed guerrillas to injure South Koreans?

This gives North Korea a pretext to start a war against me.

No matter how many people die in the future, public opinion in Korea will still be in favor of war, and the military is just waiting for the order to deploy.

If the president gives an order, they will go to North Korea right now and push Pyongyang out. Is it that difficult to give that one order?

But I’m not the type of person who moves without a plan like everyone else; I was very, very careful.

“How many of our special forces have infiltrated North Korea right now?”

“There are about 400 people. The number of North Korean citizens recruited is around 20,000, including 200 party officials.”

“So if we push forward, we can shake North Korea from within?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, if you give the order, we will end the war within five days.”

“Time is not the issue. The issue is how much damage can be reduced in Korea.”

It’s easy to advance while firing guns,

But how to deal with the North Korean people is a separate issue.

SHANGHAI – Should we advance by killing local people like in the Iraq War, or should we advance by recruiting local people since we have already planted many guerrillas in North Korea?

But the problem is that it takes too much time.

The military generals are excited to end the war within five days, but are they going to just leisurely wage guerrilla warfare?

How to reduce damage and easily occupy Pyongyang,

Opinions came from all over the place.

“I think it would be a good idea to advance the army to the vicinity of Kaesong.”

“Isn’t it a direct attack on Pyongyang?”

“Yes, we have 400 special agents hiding in Pyongyang, but it will take time to gain the support of the local population.”

Let’s say it’s true that special agents recruited 20,000 North Korean citizens. But if war breaks out, will all of these people cooperate with the South Korean military?

These people were just taken in by the food and money that was spread in Korea.

If war breaks out, there is no guarantee what choices will be made.

So, it was necessary to buy time for special forces agents to create chaos in Pyongyang, but there were many opinions opposing this operation.

“Your Majesty, I think it would be better to attack Pyongyang directly rather than waste time in Kaesong.”

“Why?”

“The people are bats that stick here and there. When the occupying forces come, they shout ‘Give me the chocolate’, and when the occupying forces leave, they betray. I know that very well.”

Army Chief of Staff Jang Do-young also called for direct contact with Pyongyang.

Jang Do-young has experience dealing with local residents in the Iraq War.

Do you think that the US military only committed massacres on the spot?

Naturally, supplies were distributed to local residents to win them over, but the residents showed a double standard of cooperating with the military forces once the US troops withdrew.

So, they were all massacred,

Jang Do-young denied the very premise that 20,000 North Korean civilians recruited by South Korean special forces would join our side.

“If we occupy Gaeseong, will those bastards start a rebellion in Pyongyang? That is too optimistic. Your Excellency, we must attack Pyongyang immediately.”

“Wait a minute. Then won’t too many local people die?”

“We are risking everything. Since they are after His Majesty’s life, we must also act aggressively.”

I only listened to the opinions of military officials.

It’s only natural, since hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake with my one choice.

But we don’t have the luxury of wasting time.

Now that the news has come out, North Korea must have realized that the assassination attempt was a failure, and they will naturally be preparing for an all-out attack by the South Korean military.

‘Phew~ In the end, I failed to keep the promise I made to the people.’

After much deliberation, the order to launch an all-out attack was given.

What’s the point of a guy who’s going to retire in three years starting a war on the Korean Peninsula? I tried to hold it in for a while, but this incident can’t be overlooked.

Above all, the opponent is Kim Il-sung,

Do you think someone who sends armed guerrillas to Korea out of the blue would be thinking rationally?

Who knows what this unpredictable guy might do in the future.

A war that must be waged even at the risk of suffering. We have endured provocations from North Korea several times so far, but this time we have made up our minds.

***

“You’re going to attack Pyongyang?!!”

“Yeah!! We have to run away quickly!!”

“Ah… No… Wait a minute!! Then what does all this work we’ve been doing here mean?!!”

This is Pyongyang,

South Korean special forces agents who had been carrying out escapades hurried to escape.

The South Korean military has 700,000 rounds of explosives, and if war starts, Pyongyang will be engulfed in 3,700-degree flames.

Can you even imagine the damage? If the South Korean military were to directly attack Pyongyang, the agents here would also be in danger.

Running away is the right answer, no matter what.

But one soldier with a strong sense of justice refused to evacuate.

“The 20,000 residents we recruited are all here!! Are you going to abandon them all?!!”

“Hey buddy!! Listen carefully!! The command has decided to launch a direct attack on Pyongyang!! This means that His Excellency the President has given the order to burn Pyongyang down!! We’re all going to burn to death!! If we don’t run away now, we’re going to die too!!”

“… Ha… But… .”

“Stop nagging and come with me!!”

“Hurry up!! We have to run as far away as possible!!”

In the end, South Korean agents were unable to even give instructions to the residents they had captured so far to evacuate.

A city that could be engulfed in a sea of ​​fire at any moment,

The agents escaped the city without much difficulty.

Pyongyang does not even have enough police to maintain order in preparation for a possible invasion by the South Korean military. Will they control the movement of residents in this chaotic city?

Even if you control it, if you bribe it, that’s it.

North Korean police, accustomed to bribes from South Korean agents over the past eight months, allowed passage without any suspicion.

The agents who escaped Pyongyang in this way crossed the 38th parallel and arrived in their home country.

Then the expected tragedy occurred.

[Everyone, this is not hell. This is Pyongyang, once home to 2.5 million people. Oh my god… Is this something that God can forgive?]

Journalists from around the world flocked to film the city engulfed in flames.

The South Korean military has poured 170,000 rounds of explosives into Pyongyang over the past six days.

Is this really a large city that once had 2.5 million inhabitants? It is not a city, but rather a volcanic area with flowing lava.

The Korean army’s attacks were that persistent and destructive.

What was even more terrifying was that the South Korean military’s operation was not over yet. Upon hearing the news that Kim Il-sung had fled to Uiju, the South Korean military launched a second artillery attack on the area.

The death toll so far is estimated at around 1.7 million, proving that U.S. predictions that one-seventh of North Korea’s population would disappear if war broke out were accurate.

A world literally gripped by shock and horror,

The agents who watched the scene on TV were also confused.

‘No… this is not what we wanted.’

‘What have we done so far?’

The agents reflected on each day they had spent in North Korea over the past eight months.

North Korea is a country that South Korea must defeat.

However, since the opponent was of the same ethnicity, he wanted to reclaim Pyongyang without causing any damage as much as possible.

So, in the process of recruiting 20,000 North Korean residents, I also developed personal relationships with many of them.

Even though our systems were different, we felt a sense of kinship because we were of the same race who spoke the same language. But is it okay for those people to all die and only we to survive?

But Korea is not in a position to say such things right now.

“Let’s kill Kim Il-sung!! North Koreans are not worth pitying!!”

“You dare send armed guerrillas to kill people?!! You too, try dying!!”

Rather, Korean public opinion is inciting war.

As Pyongyang was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, many people poured into the streets and chanted “Long Live the Republic of Korea.”

In this situation, would the agents be able to say, ‘They were also of the same race as us?’

Although everyone kept their mouths shut, there were quite a few agents who felt guilty and committed suicide.

At the very least, they could have told us to run away, but the unification war ended in a terrible tragedy, and this war left many aftereffects on the Korean Peninsula.

***

‘Your Majesty, let us begin.’

This is the Presidential Office. After the PD gave his autograph, I started broadcasting to the nation.

If you start a war, you must have a justification, and of course, you have a duty to inform the people of the results.

Why did I start the war and what consequences did I accept?

He continued his conversation with a calm expression.

“In this war, about 3,000 South Korean soldiers were killed or injured, and the outskirts of the capital were destroyed by North Korean counterattacks. The number of civilian casualties was estimated at approximately 7,000.

Citizens, first of all, I would like to apologize.

I failed to keep my promise. I said, what is the point of a man who will leave office in three years to start a war on this land? And I promised him that there would be no war. But I failed to keep that promise.

“I take responsibility for that and bow my head.”

As I lowered my head, camera flashes went off from all directions.

How do I look in the eyes of Korean media outlets and foreign correspondents from all over the world? A hypocrite who pretends to be good even after killing countless people?

It doesn’t matter if you look at it that way.

What I should be concerned about is the safety of the Korean people. We had an overwhelming victory, but if more than 10,000 people were killed or injured, I should be held accountable.

What I am going to say from now on is my true feelings,

I explained the necessity of this war.

“North Korea has repeatedly provoked South Korea over the past few years. A few years ago, a shell fired from North Korea landed 20 kilometers away from a government building.

That day, I was convinced that North Korea was an irrational group that could not communicate. However, I have endured it until now only because I thought about the damage that would be done to this country and its people.

I might have seemed indecisive and easygoing to North Korea’s Kim Il-sung.

But that’s a mistake.

I am the president of South Korea, not the president of North Korea. If North Korea becomes a threat to South Korea, I can kill one or two million people there. Kim Il-sung must have realized by now what kind of person I am.

“Of course, in the afterlife.”

Kim Il-sung was killed by a bomb in Uiju.

The family was also found burned to death at the scene, and they were literally chased to the ends of hell and killed.

Do you think I would show mercy to the North Korean people?

I warned you clearly about that.

“I want to be clear that I have not yet recognized the North Korean people as Koreans. If they do not comply with the Korean order, I will treat them as citizens of an occupied country.

“Please follow the Korean control and obey the order. If you disobey, there is no guarantee what will happen.”

The reporters flinched.

In a South Korea that has not put down its sword while so many people have died, would the North Korean people who survived in this atmosphere be able to raise their voices in resentment toward South Korea?

Everyone was just trembling and watching,

World public opinion was also silent about Korea’s resolute action.

It is an undeniable fact that North Korea launched a preemptive strike. Who would dare criticize South Korea? Even the United States, which massacred 1 million civilians in Indonesia, was not in a position to say anything about this incident.
