I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 14



Only Krnovel

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (14)

“Who pointed out that Sanggeun was the mastermind?”

“It’s a guy named Kim Hak-young.”

“No, where is the guy who bites his own master’s ankle?!!”

This is Gyeongbuk,

Park Jeong-ui was furious at the news that his nephew was accused of being behind the assassination attempt on Kim Gyu.

The Korean Independence Party fiercely resisted when the trusteeship was confirmed.

Moreover, it is already well known to everyone that the leader, Kim Kyu, planned to join hands with the Republic of China to check the Soviet Union and the United States.

It is natural that surveillance follows this.

Maybe someone is trying to kill Kim Gyu.

The problem is, why does it have to be his nephew who is behind the conspiracy? Everyone wants to blow their nose without getting their hands on him.

But why did my nephew have to be accused like this? Park Jeong-ui did not forgive the guy named Kim Hak-young who had blown the whistle.

“You can’t forgive a man who sells his master to save himself, right?”

“I agree. He should be kicked out of the Korean Democratic Party.”

“Not only that. Contact the press and ask them to issue a correction. This is ridiculous!!”

An uncle who tries to cover up his nephew’s mistakes in any way he can.

The Democratic Party of Korea in Gyeongseong was also busy.

If this incident is blown out of proportion, what will happen to the Democratic Party’s reputation?

Song Jin-hu conveyed his official position through the Dong-A Ilbo.

[Park Sang-geun, the chairman of the youth association, is not the kind of person who would plot a heinous act like assassination. He is leading his comrades to Gyeongbuk to win over the people’s hearts, and recently he has been focusing on raising party operating funds by running a trading company.

Can you believe that such a person sent people to Gyeongseong to plan a terrorist attack? The Democratic Party of Korea will reveal the real mastermind behind this incident. If you shoot Chairman Park Sang-geun without clear evidence, the Democratic Party of Korea will also fight back.]

Song Jin-hu did not stop there and submitted an official request for investigation to the US military government.

The US military government pretended to cooperate but quietly covered up the incident, demanding that the truth be revealed since a person was unjustly accused of being behind the terrorism.

The content was that it was planned by Kim Hak-young and that Park Sang-geun was not guilty of anything, and a warning was also given that those planning terrorism would be punished.

“Recently, those who oppose the trusteeship are planning terrorism. The US military government will severely punish those who plan terrorism, and those who are confirmed guilty will be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, or up to the death penalty.”

The US military government finally drew its sword.

Who knows when Kim Kyu, who opposes the trusteeship, might commit terrorism against the Korean Democratic Party members.

Now the US military government began to monitor the Korean Independence Party.

“I’m sorry, Chairman.”

“You don’t have to be sorry to me. You were just falsely accused.”

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I consoled a comrade who had just been released from prison.

Kim Hak-young went up to Gyeongseong with instructions to monitor Kim Gyu, but was suddenly arrested on suspicion of attempted assassination of Kim Gyu.

“I don’t know. That guy did it on his own.”

Does that mean I have to stick my feet out like this?

The person I hate the most is someone who says, “I don’t know anything.”

What qualifications would a subordinate have to plan something as big as assassination?

People who do things because someone told them to do so, but when things get worse, they either avoid responsibility or shift the blame. These so-called leaders are the ones who do it.

‘That’s why I hate Kim Gyu. He hides behind others and escapes without anyone noticing.’

The reason why I hate Kim Gyu is clear.

Kim Gyu is a person who cannot be free from suspicion of terrorism, regardless of his achievements.

It is true that he was involved in the assassination of numerous independence activists and politicians, although he did not shed blood on his own hands.

Do you feel at ease if you just get out of there by borrowing someone else’s hand?

I acknowledge Kim Gyu’s achievements, but his attitude of treating people like tools is so disgusting that it makes me want to vomit.

“Why didn’t you bring Mr. Ahn Jun-geun’s family?!!”

“????”

The famous incident of persecuting Ahn Gon-geun, the younger brother of Dr. Ahn Jun-geun,

How strict is Japan’s surveillance, and why are you asking people to be taken out to China? Then why are you asking others to do such unreasonable things when you yourself would do it?

This incident led to Ahn Gon-geun’s confrontation with Kim Gyu and he was eventually assassinated.

We don’t know who killed An Gon-geun, but Kim Gyu-do is one of the people behind it.

I wonder if I have anything to do with An Gon-geun’s death.

If you send someone to a dangerous place, you should be grateful that they return safely. Is a person who scolds them for not carrying out orders a proper leader?

It didn’t stop there. After returning to his country, he committed terrorism against his enemies, and as the karma piled up, he ended up getting shot.

Who would follow a leader who uses people like bullets and throws them away?

So I volunteered to be a shield for my friend Kim Hak-young.

“You did what I told you to do and that’s why this happened. You did nothing wrong, so don’t feel too guilty.”

“Thank you, Chairman. I will repay this favor even at the cost of my life.”

“You should survive and become a servant of your country to repay the favor. Don’t talk about death so carelessly.”

So I left this incident aside.

But it is true that there are some people within the Korean Democratic Party who do not like Kim Hak-young, and my uncle was one of them.

“Hey, Sanggeun, why do you keep that kind of person by your side?”

“what?”

“A dog that has bitten its owner once will bite again. What will you do if that person hits you in the back of the head?”

“Hey, Uncle, can I give you some advice?”

“What advice?”

“Uncle, watch out for the back of your head too. I’m most worried about you.”

Later, my uncle also got stabbed in the back of the head by his subordinate and died.

Although it is an event that has not yet occurred, the October 26 incident is one of the greatest events in Korean history.

Why was my uncle shot and killed by his own subordinate?

I don’t know the exact reason, but I can’t believe Kang Jae-gyu’s words that he shot the dictator for the sake of democracy.

‘You’re funny, didn’t you survive under a dictatorship without eating soybeans?’

It is contradictory to say that a person who so desperately wanted democracy was benefiting from a dictatorship for over 10 years.

The most popular theory is that the incident occurred as a result of Kang Jae-gyu and Jang Ji-cheol’s conflict over power.

‘I can’t trust anyone, so you guys fight amongst yourselves.’

And this is the seed that my uncle planted.

If you took power through a military coup, how can you guarantee that your subordinates won’t do the same thing?

After taking power, my uncle divided power among the Central Intelligence Agency, the Presidential Security Service, and the Defense Security Command to check each other, and in the process, he seized power by promoting or purging certain people.

Here, the uncle chose Jang Ji-cheol, so he was shot by Kang Jae-gyu.

In the end, he met that end because he used people as tools to maintain his power.

Will the same thing happen in this era?

I gave advice with sincerity.

“Uncle, do you think I bit my ankle because of that guy?”

“Isn’t that true?”

“You shouldn’t think like that. Kim Hak-young did his best, didn’t he? But you’re going to throw him away because he got caught in the middle? That’s not how you treat people. If you do that, your uncle might get hurt.”

“What…what did you say?”

“There is a saying that even an earthworm will squirm when stepped on. If you treat your subordinates like that, they will treat you like that. I won the hearts of 3,000 people by embracing Kim Hak-young. That is the art of ruling.”

When I embraced Kim Hak-young, 3,000 youth leaders pledged their loyalty.

What would the youth party members have thought when the Democratic Party of Korea said, “Kim Hak-young has nothing to do with us”?

I guess we too might have thought that one day we would be used and discarded like that, but I didn’t.

People are not bullets to be thrown away, but treasures that must be secured at least by one person.

I made that point clear.

“Power? Yes, you can seize it with force. But power seized with force is only unstable. That’s why leaders don’t trust their subordinates and make them compete with each other. That’s why King Sejo of Joseon kept testing his close associates. Do you think that person would have felt at ease? He must have been on a bed of thorns the whole time he was on the throne.”

“Hey… why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

“Uncle, from now on, you should manage people properly. I should embrace my subordinates. Are you going to use them like bullets and throw them away? A leader like that won’t last long. I’ll say it again, don’t touch Kim Hak-young. If you touch him, it means you want to fight me.”

From that day on, my uncle kept quiet about Kim Hak-young.

The same goes for the Democratic Party of Korea.

Those who were talking about Kim Hak-young being behind this incident also noticed me.

Now, I am no longer a 19-year-old brat, but a powerful figure leading 3,000 party members. As the number of followers increased, power naturally followed.

***

“Comrade Secretary!! We’re in big trouble!!”

“What’s going on and why is there such a fuss?”

“The revolutionary plan has been exposed!! The US military government has begun an investigation!!”

This is the headquarters of the Communist Party of Korea,

Park Hwon-young was speechless at the report from below.

South Korea is now destined to fall under the skirts of the United States, not the Soviet Union.

However, Park Hwon-yeong did not give up his dream of communizing Joseon and planned terrorist attacks in various places by mobilizing communist party members across the country.

But the problem is that the tail is too long.

The US military government discovered 3,000 hand grenades in Seoul.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as full-scale investigations begin and Communist Party branches across the country are attacked.

During this process, approximately 10,000 grenades were confiscated, and Park Hwon-young, who was identified as the mastermind, fled, ignoring what happened next.

Only a few hundred communists followed him, the rest were abandoned.

‘what’s this?’

‘What do we want?’

The communists panicked.

The person responsible has escaped, so what happens to the people left behind?

The US military government is cracking down on communists without any reason, so does that mean we all have to die like this?

Some communists wandered the streets with disheveled hair to survive.

“Hehehe~ Have you eaten? Give me some food.”

“What the heck is this?!! Get out of here, you’re unlucky!!”

Who would know the true intentions of a play that everyone does to survive?

I’m smiling on the outside but crying tears of blood on the inside. Who on earth should I blame?

But here something surprising happened.

[I will give you a grace period. If you are a communist, turn yourself in now. If you turn yourself in, you will be acquitted.]

The US military government, which had been taking a hard-line approach, suddenly turned to a conciliatory approach.

Wasn’t this a trap to lure out communists hiding in mouse holes? This is where the Korean Youth Association stepped forward.

“Our Chairman Park Sang-geun has agreed with the US military government to give communists a chance to change their minds!!”

“Communists, turn yourself in!! Our chairman does not abandon people!!”

“Are you going to continue to be loyal to the Communist Party that uses people like bullets and throws them away?!! You just chose the wrong people to serve!! Turn yourself in!!”

The communists were horrified.

Park Sang-geun was the person who was identified as the person behind Kim Gyu’s assassination a few months ago.

In addition, the guy named Kim Hak-young, who pointed out that Park Sang-geun was behind this, is alive and well and is walking around.

How can a guy who bit his own master be active in the Korean Youth Association?

Is it true that this guy Park Sang-geun is cooperating with the US military government to save communists who have been abandoned by their leaders?

When people are in a hurry, they will grab onto even a straw.

In this way, one by one, they threw themselves into the Korean Democratic Party.
