I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 15



Only Krnovel

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (15)

“30,000 people turned themselves in?”

“Yes, we all joined the youth group.”

“That’s difficult….”

This is the headquarters of the Korean Democratic Party.

Foreign Minister Kim Sung-joo recently criticized the youth group, which has been rapidly growing in power.

It is fortunate that the communists were able to induce Koreans to surrender without shedding blood, but this is an incident that shakes the legitimacy of the Korean Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party of Korea is a right-wing, conservative party. How can such a group accept 30,000 communists?

They did not truly convert to the right wing; they simply surrendered out of necessity after the terrorist incident was exposed.

It is already embarrassing to keep him alive, but how will the party members accept allowing him to join the Democratic Party of Korea?

More than anything, Kim Seong-ju did not want the youth council chairman to gain more power.

‘You’re still young, even cold water has its ups and downs.’

A guy who is only 19 years old became the leader of a party of 33,000 members?

If this continues, he will push out the adults and become a minister. Of course, Kim Seong-ju acknowledged that the chairman of the youth association is someone who will do great things in the future.

But there is an order to everything.

A 19-year-old standing on top of adults was not tolerated.

However, handling this case alone was beyond his authority, so Kim Seong-ju gathered opinions from within the party.

“I agree with not holding communists who have turned themselves in guilty. But accepting them as party members is a separate issue.”

“That’s right. How can you discuss politics with communists?”

“We have to tell the youth council chairman that it is impossible to admit communists into the party. He seems to be acting too self-indulgently these days.”

Party members kept a close watch on the youth group.

There are less than 30,000 people officially registered with the Democratic Party of Korea, but one young man is leading 33,000 people by himself?

This doesn’t make sense.

We will soon need to form an autonomous government with the approval of the US military government, but what if the US military government puts that guy at the forefront?

In North Korea, a greenhorn named Kim Il-sung is running wild with the Soviet Union on his back, so there’s no guarantee that South Korea won’t do the same.

It would be much easier to deal with an obedient young leader who cooperates with the US than with an adult who is picky about the US military government.

So, the US military government is working closely with the youth group.

In order to turn this situation around, the Korean Democratic Party refused to admit communists and, furthermore, decided to recruit Shin Ik-ui, who had been a key figure in the provisional government.

The provisional government was an organization that collapsed after failing to receive recognition from the US military government.

It is now split into Kim Kyu’s Korean Independence Party and Shin Ik-ui’s Korean National Party.

It would be difficult to win over Kim Gyu, who was hostile to the US military government, but it would certainly be possible to embrace Shin Ik-ui.

“Seok-ah~Eat some candy~.”

“Wow~!!”

The same thing is repeated again today,

I handed my nephew a bag of candy.

Working at a trading company and with connections to the US military government, I occasionally get this kind of extra income, but in a time when it’s hard to even get a meal, a bag of candy is a great gift for the children.

A guy who puts candy in his mouth and takes it out again, saying he’s saving it.

I patted my nephew’s head as he frowned.

“Just eat it all, Uncle will bring you more later.”

“I should share some with my friends too.”

“Can you share that?”

“Yeah, I’d feel bad if I were the only one eating it.”

“Haha~ You’re better than adults.”

I smiled bitterly.

A little child wants to share a piece of candy with a friend, but an adult has no such thing.

It’s shocking to see what the Democratic Party of Korea is doing now. They are building an iron wall, saying they cannot accept communists. If they do this, where will the 30,000 people go?

Do they really act like that because they don’t trust the communists?

Since I have also been involved in politics in the future, I have a rough idea of ​​the dark intentions of politicians.

‘Even if we’re in the same party, not everyone is on my side. There are factions within it.’

Even now, when I think about it, I wonder if those disgusting guys, those who fight among themselves, have any ideology or belief in leading the country.

The reason the Korean Democratic Party is pushing out the Communist Party is simple.

The Communist Party wants the free confiscation and free distribution of land, which is what pro-Japanese landowners hate the most. In reality, the support base of the Korean Democratic Party is made up of such people.

I don’t like being with those guys either, but I joined hands because of practical issues, and I came this far without showing any sign of dislike.

But you’re going to throw me out because I accepted the communists?

What are we going to do if they don’t accept those 30,000 people?

These ugly ducklings, abandoned by Park Hwon-young and now pushed out by the Democratic Party of Korea, who knows what they will do in the future.

In the worst case scenario, he could return to communist activities under Park Hwon-young’s orders. Then the US military government would change its policy and crack down on communists. Then what would my position be?

This is burying people politically.

‘If this happens, I won’t have the face to stand before the US military government.’

My goal is to stabilize public order by incorporating communists.

But if this fails, the US military government will become close to the Korean National Party, and my position will disappear.

I decided that it was time to break up with the Democratic Party of Korea, since they used to use us when we needed to, but now they are restraining us when we don’t.

‘If that’s the case, I will also create my own party and negotiate with the US alone. You made a fool of me.’

Now that you’ve made up your mind, all you have to do is put it into action.

First, they mobilized the 30,000 communists they had recruited this time and held a large-scale founding convention in Daegu.

“Everyone, I don’t think communism is completely different from capitalism. The real meaning of communism is to prohibit the privatization of the means of production. If landlords and corporations monopolize all production, only a few will be rich. That’s why the state should step in and promote economic development. Whether it’s capitalism or communism, isn’t it all about eating well and living well?”

“you’re right!!”

“Wow~!!!!”

Party members who give me enthusiastic support, and Gyeongbuk, where I held the founding convention, is a place where the left wing has taken root for generations.

I have been living quietly all this time, keeping an eye on the US military government, but now I am scratching their itch.

Do you think I, who has accepted even the communists, will not be able to embrace the leftists in Gyeongbuk?

And it is also the US military government’s wish to control them.

So, pushing behind me, I formalized the founding of the party here.

“I have done my best in the Korean Democratic Party for the past three years. Even though it was dirty and deadly, I joined hands with pro-Japanese landlords, and sometimes I even broke my pride and flattered my superiors. But now I realize that I don’t need to do that. If you support me, I will cooperate with the US military government and make this country a prosperous country. Isn’t it enough to just go to Seoul?!! There is no need to unconditionally criticize me as a communist!! I will take what I need and throw away what I need to throw away, so that you will no longer suffer from poverty!!”

“Wow~!!!!”

“Park Sang-geun!! Park Sang-geun!!”

“Long live the chairman!!”

“No!! Long live the President of the Korean People’s Party!!”

From that day on, I was reborn as a party leader with 90,000 members.

Thanks to the large number of communists who were recruited and the left wing forces that were drifting without a place to go,

By devouring the Yeongnam region, they struck the back of the head of the Korean Democratic Party.

***

“What the hell is going on?!! That guy Park Sang-geun founded a party?!!”

“That… I have nothing to say.”

“Explain to me what happened!! It couldn’t have happened overnight, right?!!”

This is the headquarters of the Democratic Party of Korea,

President Song Jin-hoo was furious at the news of the founding of the Korean People’s Party.

Killing the communists would only lead to a repeat of the tragedy of fratricide, so Song Jin-hu also cooperated with the US military government and induced the communists to turn themselves in.

The task is delegated to the youth group,

Meanwhile, Song Jin-hu discussed a merger with Shin Ik-ui of the Korean National Party.

But then, out of nowhere, the youth group rebelled, and the back of my head felt cold, almost hot.

In any case, someone has to take responsibility for the incident,

Those who were punished for suppressing the youth movement avoided responsibility.

“That guy, Sang-Geun Park, had that intention from the beginning.”

“Yes. Isn’t that friend’s father, Park Sang-geun, also a leftist?”

“They have been using your reputation to increase their power. And now that the time has come, they are going to split. It is better. Let’s split up this time. If we merge with the provisional government, we will not fall behind the Korean People’s Party.”

Even though his close associates pushed him, Song Jin-hu did not give in easily.

Did that guy really approach me with impure intentions?

How much effort has that friend made for the country over the past three years?

He traveled between Gyeongseong and Daegu, engaged in political activities, ran a logistics company, and even solved the problem of prices. Recently, he persuaded the US military government to accept communists without shedding blood.

At this level, the country should award you a medal.

In fact, Song Jin-hu intended to make many concessions to the youth council chairman if he formed a local government.

If you have any complaints, you should have spoken up. Why is this sudden creation of a new party? How can such a thing happen out of the blue?

First, I decided to have a conversation with Park Sang-ui, the president of the Dong-A Ilbo.

***

“Can’t you convince your son?”

“I don’t think that’ll work. He’s already made up his mind.”

“What on earth is the reason? If you could at least tell me the reason clearly….”

“The biggest problem is that the president doesn’t know that.”

This is the headquarters of the Dong-A Ilbo.

President Park Sang-ui continued a serious conversation with President Song Jin-hoo.

What is the biggest disqualification for a leader?

Corruption? No matter how much you do, if you do politics well, it’s not a big problem.

When you work for the country, you get rice cakes on your hands, so how can you not eat them? Secondly, as a leader, you have to know what your subordinates are doing.

You want to be a leader without knowing what your subordinates are doing?

Song Jin-hu was so busy promoting unification with the provisional government that he failed to notice that pro-Japanese landlords were suppressing the youth association.

The so-called factional fight has begun,

In addition, the youth group is currently active in Gyeongbuk, so it cannot check the pro-Japanese forces next to Chairman Song Jin-hoo.

Those pro-Japanese forces are trying to kill the youth association. How should we respond as the victims?

Song Jin-hoo’s support base is pro-Japanese forces. Will he ignore them and raise his hand for the youth group?

At that moment, Song Jin-hu also loses his support base and becomes like a duck egg in the Nakdong River.

What happened while the leader was looking away for a moment,

President Song Jin-hoo sighed.

“It happened because of my incompetence… but I still feel bad. If only you had said something to me…”

“My son is that kind of guy. Once he makes up his mind, he doesn’t hesitate. He didn’t say anything to me when he went to see the teacher.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, that aspect can be helpful at times, but this incident also leaves me feeling sad.”

Park Sang-ui found this incident regrettable.

My son’s quick-wittedness is both his strength and weakness, but wouldn’t it have been better to have a conversation with Chairman Song Jin-hoo before they split up?

If we split up like this, we will only become enemies.

President Park Sang-ui showed his sincerity in trying to reunite his son, who had made a rash move, with the Democratic Party of Korea.
