I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 126

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (126)
[Mr. President, we also want to become Koreans.]
Today, I looked at documents uploaded from various places, repeating the same routine.
The gist is that they want the 4.6 million Chinese, 1.32 million Japanese, and 40,000 Jews residing in Korean territory to be recognized as Koreans, and there is no particular problem with that.
Why is Israel causing such a fuss?
With a population of 2 million, they had no choice but to conscript young men to fight against the 50 million population of the Middle East, and eventually ended up forcing even women into the military.
Then what about Korea?
By occupying North Korea by force, we can secure a population of 44 million on the mainland, which is about 22 times better than Israel.
With such a large population, there are many men to conscript, and it is possible to maintain an army of hundreds of thousands of men, but even this is relatively insufficient.
Israel has 50 million people in the Middle East as its enemy, but isn’t that the case for Korea?
Next to it is China with a population of 360 million, and above it is the Soviet Union with a population of 200 million.
Despite this, a population of 44 million seems like a lot.
Of course, Korea has Japan, with a population of 80 million, and the United States, with a population of 150 million, as its allies, but its mainland population is not that large.
If the population is too large, it will become a social burden, but it would be good to maintain a certain size. If we include Chinese, Japanese, and Jewish people as Koreans, we can fill the population of 50 million.
The problem is that this does not fit the Korean sentiment.
When did Korea ever fight against an enemy with its numbers?
Although we are not a large number, we are a people who have survived through evil and brute force. Furthermore, because we are a single ethnic group, we have a strong aversion to transfusing people from outside.
But this is something that has happened countless times in half a million years of history.
Was Korea a single ethnic group even during the Three Kingdoms period?
During the period when the Yemaek and Han people coexisted, the Yemaek and Malgal people also lived together in Goguryeo, and there are clear traces of the Yemaek and Mahan people in Baekje, and the Scythian nomads in Silla as well.
Then, during the Goryeo Dynasty, we experienced numerous foreign invasions and in the process, we established our national identity and finally established our identity as the Korean people.
The problem is that this is not the end,
Isn’t human history ultimately a struggle between the self and the non-self?
Since then, the Korean people have had repeated contact with the outside world, and in the process, came into contact with numerous foreign ethnic groups.
When King Sejong the Great incorporated the Jurchen people into the Joseon people, there was opposition in various places, but eventually, as time passed, the Jurchen people were incorporated as Joseon people.
That’s not all.
The Baecheon Jo clan and the Gwangdong Jin clan are Han Chinese, the Hwasan Lee clan is Vietnamese, the Gyeongju Seol clan is Uyghur, and the Urok Kim clan is Japanese.
Since then, Korea has steadily accepted foreigners as Koreans.
The important thing is that those foreigners eventually became Koreans.
How could China achieve a world-class civilization? China also suffered the humiliation of having its dynasties replaced by numerous foreigners, but it was by confining these foreigners within the framework of China that it was able to expand its power.
If we can make foreigners look Chinese, wouldn’t that be a weapon more frightening than a nuclear bomb?
The fact that as many as 6 million foreigners want to become Korean means that Korea has now reached a level where it can embrace neighboring ethnic groups like China.
In the past, China became the leader of Asia by embracing the surrounding ethnic groups, so now Korea needs to have a brand that represents East Asia.
I did not interpret this problem simply as a matter of population.
Now, Korea has pushed out China and has become a country with a brand that represents East Asia.
First, I called the politicians and conveyed my intentions.
***
“Your Majesty, will you accept Jews as Koreans?”
“Yes, there is nothing you can’t do, right?”
“Ah… but Your Majesty, if that happens, Jews will actively participate in politics. And if a Jewish president comes into power… .”
“It doesn’t matter. If you look at Chinese history, there are many cases where foreigners became emperors. So did they deny the framework of China?”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I discussed the issue of accepting Chinese and Japanese people, including politicians and Jews, as Koreans.
As politicians say, a Jew may run for the presidency of Korea in the future, but they cannot do politics only for Jews.
A whopping 88% of the entire population is Korean, but you are excluding Koreans and favoring only Jews?
The front and back don’t match.
This is the fear of numbers. No matter how great the Jews may seem, as long as they are confined to the framework of Korea, they have no choice but to do politics for Korea.
It’s the same for Koreans. Just because I’m Korean, am I going to do politics only for the 88% and ignore the remaining 12%?
The answer can be found by looking at what is happening in America now.
Why would white people with a population of over 100 million make such a fuss over the problem of black people with a population of only 20 million? If we cannot kill all black people or completely incorporate them, the racial problem will continue to plague America.
So what will Korea do?
To be honest, there are only 32 million ‘pure’ Koreans in Korea.
We recently occupied North Korea and accepted 12 million people as Koreans, but are they exactly the same as South Koreans?
They were under Soviet-North Korean rule for 20 years and there are many things that make them different from South Koreans.
Ultimately, Korea is faced with the problem of how to reconcile the 32 million natives with the remaining 1,800 people. This is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two.
“Hey, it’s annoying, so let’s establish a local government and you guys figure it out.”
“Don’t reach out to us. We’re strangers.”
If this happens, Korea will remain a country for the 32 million natives, and as time goes by, the 18 million people will all leave and become independent.
Is that what Korean politicians want?
Should we give up all the territories we have secured so far – Shanghai, Taiwan, and North Korea – and live well only in mainland Korea?
A very first-dimensional thought: if Korea wants to build a brand that can push out China, it needs to show the ability to unite ethnic groups into one.
Do Korean politicians think that’s impossible?
I asked a question to Kim Jong-pil, the leader of the Democratic Republican Party of Korea.
“What do you think, Mr. President? Should our Korea become a country for the 32 million natives? Or should it become a country with the power to turn 1,800 foreigners into Koreans?”
“I think Your Majesty is right. The 4th Army and 6th Division did not become Korean territory overnight. Our politicians must continue to make efforts to embrace the foreigners and accept them as Koreans.”
I looked around.
The answer has already been given, so who can say, ‘Korea should be a country only for Koreans’?
Now is the time for Korea to claim the title of the center of East Asia.
I must have gotten the politicians’ consent, and I started the task of turning 1,800 immigrants into Koreans.
First, a referendum was held for foreigners who wish to become Korean citizens.
SHANGHAI – Voting has begun in Taiwan.
In the general election in which 1.2 million Shanghai voters and 700,000 Taiwanese voters participated, 65% of Chinese, 93% of Japanese, and 71% of Taiwanese chose to become Korean.
The reason why the approval rating of Chinese people was lower than expected is because they have an identity as ‘Shanghai people’.
They responded that there is nothing wrong with becoming Korean, but that they have no intention of giving up their identity.
‘It doesn’t matter, I’m generous.’
But I didn’t oppress them.
Since when has Shanghai been a land teeming with Koreans?
There are 2.6 million Chinese, but they are locals who follow Korean control well, so that’s enough.
In any case, through this election, Korea incorporated 1.7 million Chinese, 1.22 million Japanese, and 40,000 Jews into Koreans.
Thanks to this, 76% of Shanghai’s population is Korean.
Taiwan is 92% Korean, now Shanghai – Taiwan is not simply an administrative district managed by the Korean government.
The land where Koreans live, even if a border dispute arises here in the future, we have now secured the justification that it is Korean land.
North Korea is a place where there is no need to vote,
Are these people going to call themselves Chinese because they hate Korea?
Like it or not, you have no choice but to become Korean. In this way, Korea has made most of the 50 million people within its administrative districts Korean.
This is a shocking incident for Israel, a country with a population of 2 million.
Can Israel operate an army of 500,000 people like South Korea?
Can we, like Korea, embrace the surrounding ethnic groups as a Jewish people?
Now Korea is absorbing even Jews into Koreans.
Many Jewish youths, fed up with the Israeli government’s coercive conscription policy, fled to Korea.
Wouldn’t it be much safer to be in the arms of a country with 50 million people than to live in a country with a minority population of 2 million, where Jews are accepted as Koreans?
As the youth exodus accelerated, Israel requested the Korean government to block Jewish entry.
***
“Your Majesty, I would like you to send the young men back.”
“We are also trying to prevent them from coming, so what can we do if that doesn’t work? If you think about it, isn’t the cause that they are not able to prevent the youth from leaving?”
This is the government building,
I continued my war of nerves with the Israeli ambassador to Korea.
Is it Korea’s fault that the relationship between the two countries has been strained since the recent Kuwait incident and that Kuwait proposed a Middle East union?
Kuwait is not Korean territory, and I have never thought of it as Korean territory. All Korea wants is 130 oil fields, and the US knows that, so they did not hold Korea responsible for the incident that occurred in Kuwait.
But it is unbelievable that a country like Israel is protesting to Korea.
What can we do when they cry that their young people are running away to Korea?
The Israeli ambassador to South Korea spewed out nonsense.
“Isn’t it because Korea accepts Jews that Israeli youths are running away to Korea? How can a Jew become a Korean?”
“It depends on how you think about it. Didn’t Jews become assimilated into Europe over time? Shanghai Jews will eventually become completely Korean over time. Korea has the ability to make other ethnicities Korean. You can never do that. Who would want to become an Israeli citizen?”
The Israeli ambassador, who was hit in the bone, kept his mouth shut.
Since he was being rude to me, I responded with rudeness too.
Who would want to be part of Israel, surrounded in the middle of the Middle East?
You are free to brag that Jews are the only people chosen by God and a great people, but you must understand the subject.
Is it possible for these minorities to maintain their own national defense?
I have no intention of including Israel, which cries out to the US for help because it is not working and then comes to Korea to cause trouble, and brags about how great they are, as part of the Korean people.
Whether they perish or not, it is now their fate.
Israel, which failed to control its internal affairs, began to collapse as its youth rapidly left the country.
“Is Israel perishing?”
“So what? We’re Korean.”
Jews in Korea said nothing about this incident.
Now are we Jewish or Korean?
If you think of Korea, Israel is someone else’s business, most people thought so and did not even mention the Israeli issue.
