He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (137)

Bang~!! Bang~!!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo~

“Take it!! Take it!!”

This is Alatai Village, Habahe County, Uyghur Province.

The sound of rifles and machine guns from both sides filled the city.

The cause of the commotion is a border dispute between the Soviet Union and China, and Habahe County has been receiving supplies from the Soviet Union for several years.

Because it was much cheaper to obtain supplies from geographically nearby Uzbekistan than to go all the way to the inland of China to bring them in, the Uyghurs were increasingly under Soviet influence.

Will China just sit back and watch this situation unfold?

He sent in troops to take control of the city and block trade with the Soviet Union.

As a result, prices in the Uyghur region soared 14 times compared to a few years ago, and the Uyghurs, dissatisfied, fought gun battles with Chinese troops on the border with support from the Soviet Union.

A war that could not have been fought from the beginning, the Uyghurs are being supplied with supplies via the railway, but isn’t that not the case for the Chinese army?

Eventually, the Chinese army withdrew to Urumqi, where supplies were easily available.

Meanwhile, the northern Uyghur territory was taken over by Soviet troops.

As the situation worsened, the Chinese government discussed countermeasures.

“Isn’t there a way to move supplies quickly?”

“There is no way. Even the ethnic minorities come here with carts to carry supplies. How can we supply them?”

China has long suffered from supply problems.

Mao Zedong even established a joint venture to solve the problem of supply and demand for food and daily necessities.

The problem is that this has dealt a fatal blow to China’s distribution network.

“The reason rural areas are not well supplied with goods is because of private companies that only pursue profit. I will destroy all such people.”

Mao Zedong believed that the rising prices in China and the lack of supply in each region were due to the tricks of profit-seeking businessmen.

So what if we get rid of all those people and build a socialist supply chain, and get rid of those companies that were there to maintain supply?

But Mao Zedong was of the mindset that it didn’t matter.

That year, there were a total of 32,000 public-private partnerships established, with over 100 million members. So how could there be any disruption in the supply of goods?

The mindset that if there are no roads, you can solve it by just counting people is there, but don’t people also need to eat to move?

In a rural area suffering from famine due to the failure of the Great Leap Forward, what is the meaning of 32,000 cooperatives and 100 million members?

When famine struck, rural areas were cut off from receiving supplies from outside.

This is the real reason why so many peasants starved to death during the Great Leap Forward, and this incident is an extension of that.

The Uyghurs also need to eat and survive, so they received supplies from the Soviet Union. If you surround the city and call that an act of treason, you are basically telling them to just die.

With the distribution network destroyed, it is impossible for the Chinese military to command operations here.

So are we going to hand over Xinjiang to the Soviet Union like this?

Chinese Communist Party Chairman Zhou Enlai tried to find a way somehow.

Then, what caught my eye was Shanghai. Shanghai’s distribution network stretches out like branches throughout the city, to the point that it recently opened a highway.

What is even more surprising is that the goods are being distributed to residents at cheap prices.

The cost of living in Shanghai is about 30% cheaper than in Beijing. Mushrooms that cost 12 Korean Won in China cost 8 Korean Won in Shanghai.

This is possible thanks to Daehan Transportation.

In Shanghai, there are 192 large and medium-sized stores operated by Daehan Transportation, and over 300,000 employees are working in the distribution network.

This is why Shanghai is a different world from China. Are private companies the enemies of the people, as Mao Zedong thought, or are they supporting the people’s livelihood?

China’s distribution network problems that cannot be solved by socialism,

Zhou Enlai abolished the Gongso Cooperative Association established by Mao Zedong.

All 60 million union members under him were also disbanded. When these guys are ordered to move supplies, they steal them along the way.

If there were decent private companies in China and their employees were paid salaries, would this have happened?

The situation showed why socialism was bound to fail, and Zhou Enlai decided to embrace a market economy.

But China still has a long way to go. How should we run a company, let alone establish one?

Above all, is China an environment where it can hire workers and pay wages?

The problem is that it doesn’t work out, and in the end, the only one Zhou Enlai can rely on is Korea.

Zhou Enlai hurriedly dispatched a Chinese ambassador to Korea, but things went wrong from the start.

“That’s not something we can do for you.”

“No, what is the reason?”

“Daehan Transportation is a private company. Moreover, it is run by the head of state. It is not something our government should interfere with.”

The largest owner of Daehan Transportation is the head of state of Korea, so where should we go to negotiate?

You should go to Changgyeonggung Palace, not the Korean government building.

The Chinese ambassador, who had found the wrong address, went back to Changgyeonggung Palace, but the president was not there either.

“Your Majesty is in Taiwan now.”

“No… Taiwan? Why there?”

“You said you were going to tour the air force base construction site. It’s been about a week since you left.”

I’m in a hurry and I’m playing tag.

The Chinese ambassador left for Taiwan again.

If you can’t find it here, you have to go back and find the boss. This is how the chase begins.

***

“How is business going?”

“Yes, sir, our sales in Taiwan have increased by 13% over last year. It will continue to go smoothly.”

“That’s good to hear.”

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I toured the Taiwanese business site with officials from Daehan Transportation Corporation.

Can you win a war just by building air force bases and training soldiers? War is also about how you supply supplies.

If Korea had not been able to supply basic necessities to Shanghai and Taiwan, would these places have accepted Korean rule?

If you feed the people there and make them live, the power to govern will follow.

When I was 18, I was the one who mobilized 3,000 young men and even US military trucks to transport rice to Daegu. With that administrative power, I won the hearts of the people of Yeongnam and eventually took over Korea.

What’s so special about public sentiment?

If you look closely at the incident that happened in Uyghur, it was due to China’s incompetence.

If the people are dissatisfied with the supplies they receive from the Soviet Union, we should think about providing them with a way to eat and live. Will the problem be solved by mobilizing the military to block it?

I don’t sympathize with China, they are idiots who make easy things difficult.

Isn’t it natural that it would fail if it failed to win the hearts of the people?

Anyway, I finished my tour of Taiwan and boarded a flight back to Korea.

I arrived at Incheon Airport at 6:17 PM Korean time, got into a car that was waiting at the airport, and arrived at Changgyeonggung Palace.

“Your Majesty, have you returned?”

“Hmm, did anything happen while I was away?”

“Yes, nothing much happened. But….”

“But? What is it?”

“A few days ago, someone came from China. He said he wanted to ask for help from Daehan Transportation because of a distribution network problem.”

“… So?”

“I told you that the enemy had left for Taiwan.”

“When was that?”

“It was yesterday.”

“Oh~ So it looks like the paths are crossed.”

I smiled sinisterly in my heart.

It seems like he’s desperately trying to get Korea to help him, but if he thought I’d be caught that easily, he was mistaken.

I don’t want to help China, but if I refuse to do so when asked, what will happen to the reputation of a great power?

I figured I could play tag for a while, so I kissed the butlers in advance.

“Don’t tell me I’ve been here, you know what I mean?”

“Haha~ Your Majesty, you also have a bit of a mischievous side, huh?”

“It’s not that I’m mean, I’m just avoiding customers I don’t like.”

So I left Changgyeonggung Palace and moved back to Daedeok-gun.

It’s going to be the capital of South Korea in a few years, so isn’t it strange to go and check it out?

I did my work while shaking off the pursuit of those I didn’t want to see.

***

“Where on earth is my enemy?”

“He went to Daedeok-gun.”

“No… Don’t you know that we are desperately looking for you, my lord?”

“I know. But as soon as you arrived in Incheon, you went down to Daedeok County.”

This is Gyeongseong,

The Chinese ambassador who returned to Gyeongseong after going to Taiwan beat his chest.

How many times do I have to fail before I can meet the enemy of Korea? This time, I decided to catch up with him no matter what, so I took the train and went down to Daedeok County.

This is all because Korea and China have not officially established diplomatic relations. If they had been connected to each other, would they have gone through such hardships?

The Chinese ambassador realized the urgent need for Korea and China to establish diplomatic relations.

Anyway, when we arrived at Daedeok-gun, construction was still in progress, so all we could see around us were huge construction equipment and workers.

Surely there would be accommodations suitable for the president to stay in a place like this?

This time, too, he felt like he would come up empty-handed. The Chinese ambassador raised his voice, shedding tears of blood inside.

“Is the enemy here?!! Where the hell is the enemy?!!”

“What is that guy saying?”

“I don’t know, I can’t hear you very well.”

The scream was buried in the noise of the construction site, and the person in charge who happened to be wandering around approached.

“What brings you here?”

“I am the Chinese ambassador, Sheng Shicai. Is your Majesty here?”

“Well… I heard you went to look around the construction site a while ago… .”

“You…you went? Where?”

“How would I know? He probably went to Changgyeonggung Palace.”

“I just came from there. I heard you went here….”

“Then why did you come all the way here instead of waiting there? The world knows that our enemy is busy, and he is not someone you can meet by chasing him around.”

For a moment, the blood vessels in Seongscha’s forehead rose.

Are they just making fun of me as a group now? But it’s true that the President of Korea is busy, so it’s not surprising that he stopped by Taiwan and Daedeok County.

What is regrettable is that Korea is in a position where it does not need to be dragged into China. Seong Si-chai, who returned to Gyeongseong, drove a stake into Changgyeonggung Palace.

The mindset to wait here whether it rains or snows,

After several days, I finally heard some good news.

“They say His Majesty is returning to Changgyeonggung Palace.”

“Is that true?!! When are you coming?!!”

“I think you’ll arrive around 3pm.”

“I’m not going anywhere, so please tell me when you get here!! There’s no more time to delay!!”

“All right.”

Seongschai was sweating profusely in the waiting room.

Surely we wouldn’t miss each other this time, I waited for 3 o’clock, checking the clock every minute.

***

“Your Majesty, a guest has arrived.”

“Tell them to come in.”

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I ended the game of tag that had been going on for the past few days with my own hands.

A man who came from Beijing to Gyeongseong, then Taiwan to Gyeongseong, then Daedeok County, and then back to Gyeongseong to meet me.

As if he was mad about the dog training, the Chinese ambassador bowed 90 degrees as soon as he saw me.

“Your Majesty!! Greetings!! This is Chinese Ambassador Sheng Shicai!!”

“I have already heard the news. You came a long way to see me, but we ended up getting lost. Please get up.”

“Yes!! Thank you!!”

A guest who puts a lot of emotion into every word he says.

I wanted to tease him more, but I decided to continue the conversation calmly.
