[Japan is aggressive yet peaceful, reveres martial arts yet pursues beauty, is shameless yet polite, stubborn yet flexible, obedient yet rebellious, honest yet mean, brave yet timid.]
This is America,
U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was looking through documents prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency (OWI) in 1946.
Henry Kissinger is a man who is afraid of Japan.
Anyone who witnessed Japan’s atrocities, like many politicians who participated in World War II, cannot help but think that way.
The problem is that such personal feelings alone cannot serve as the Secretary of State. What about Japan in the past and Japan today?
I looked through old materials, but my thoughts about Japan did not change.
‘That’s an excessive evaluation for JAPs.’
Kissinger deeply disparaged Japan.
Worshipping the radish while pursuing beauty, shameless yet polite?
The martial arts they worship are limited to bayonet fighting and banzai attacks, and beauty is nothing more than the sadistic art of abusing plants.
The Japanese are a people who consider it an old-fashioned hobby to keep trees in small pots to prevent them from growing. Do they think that kind of hobby is noble and polite?
Henry Kissinger, while denying everything else, admitted that Japan was a mean and cowardly people.
Japan is a nation that is unrivaled in its meanness.
For example, during World War II, the Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi committed the atrocity of forcing American prisoners of war into forced labor.
“We worked like slaves in an environment where we were not guaranteed medicine, food, or hygiene. There were about 800 American POWs who did forced labor with me, but when the US military occupied Japan, only two American soldiers, including me, were alive. All of those bastards should be killed. How can I forget that grudge?”
The words of an American soldier who was forced into forced labor at the time stirred up public opinion in the United States.
It is estimated that there were thousands of prisoners of war who were forced to work in the mines owned by Mitsubishi, but the fact that only a handful of them survived gives us an idea of the extent of Japan’s abuse of prisoners at the time.
This is why the United States tried to tear apart major Japanese companies and erase Japan from the world.
So who did Japan apologize to?
It is natural to bow to the United States,
What can we do if we don’t apologize and our country is about to be wiped out? However, we did not bow our heads to other countries such as the Netherlands and the UK.
Because there was no need to do that,
Japan is a cowardly people who selectively apologize and a cowardly people who bow their heads to those stronger than them.
Where did that shallow nature go?
When they realized that America hated Japan, they immediately turned to Korea.
When Emperor Showa collapsed from a heart attack, the United States expressed its anger by saying, “Hell awaits you.” In this situation, where would Japan be able to rely on?
Ironically, it is Korea that they colonized and exploited.
A development that Henry Kissinger finds incomprehensible.
How can Korea embrace Japan?
Even the United States, which fought Japan for only four years, hates Japan this much, so how can Korea, which was under colonial rule for 36 years, strengthen its alliance with Japan?
If the head of state has pride, then he cannot do that, and the Korean people will not accept this.
But Korea is surprisingly quiet,
Henry Kissinger evaluated Korea by his own standards.
[Korea is aggressive yet peaceful, shameless yet polite, stubborn yet flexible, obedient yet rebellious, honest yet mean.]
While Japan was waging banzai attacks, South Korea was bribing American military contractors to create weapons that would set the world on fire.
That’s not all,
South Korea pretends to be obedient to the US but is sometimes rebellious. When the US led a coup in Southeast Asia and massacred 1 million people, South Korea disclosed this information to the world.
We have shown that we have nothing to do with the US-led massacre and that we do not agree with their intentions.
On the contrary, in the Middle East war, they followed the US and committed massacres in each region, even to the point of being mean to maintain oil hegemony.
That kind of evaluation is more suitable for Korea than Japan.
Henry Kissinger didn’t even consider Japan.
What the US should keep an eye on in the future is Korea, as Korea is now a more dangerous entity to the US than Japan or the Soviet Union.
How we deal with Korea going forward will be the core of America’s foreign policy.
Henry Kissinger took that into account when he developed his foreign policy strategy.

“Your Majesty, Chairman Kim Tae-hyung of Hosung Trading sent someone.”
“But what is going on?”
“Since our performance this year is not good, I would like you to postpone the payment until next year.”
“Is that what you call a lie? Why is it that the person running the business has such little credibility?”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I received an unpleasant report in my office.
Hosung Trading, a subsidiary of Daehan Transportation, has sent a notice requesting a delay in payment. Is the company delaying payment due to difficult circumstances?
I hate this mindset.
The characteristic of shameless people is that they put their ‘principles’ first when it is advantageous to them and make ‘excuses’ when it is disadvantageous.
How can a businessman only have good times when doing business?
Of course there will be times when it is difficult, but isn’t paying the promised amount on time part of a company’s credit?
But many businessmen treat this credit like an old pair of shoes.
“Ah~ I’ll give it to you next year”
“No, you said it was difficult this year, but will you pay me next year?”
“No, then what do you want me to do?!! My stomach!! My stomach!!”
This is why it is difficult to do business,
When it’s advantageous for them, they stick to their principles, but when times are tough, they make excuses. The more irresponsible companies are like this, the more I don’t want to do business with them.
Who knows how to dig the ground and do business?
An ultimatum was sent to Hosung Trading Company.
“Tell them to pay you even if it means borrowing money from the bank. Otherwise, I will cut off business with Hosung Trading.”
“Okay, sir.”
But even after waiting for several days, Hosung Trading Company did not pay the money.
It just means the whole belly, so they cut the belly open.
If Daehan Transportation doesn’t give them work, how are they going to survive?
If you think that I will be considerate of Korean businesspeople just because I am Korean and blow up the company in the air and send the company chairman to jail, you are mistaken.
I am a person who believes that even if we are the same race, we should receive what we deserve, so I did not discriminate against Japanese businessmen who showed credit.
“Your Majesty, I have completed payment.”
“Yes, I confirmed it.”
Mitsubishi Corporation, a subsidiary of Daehan Transportation, has completed payment this year as well.
Mitsubishi’s president is a thoroughgoing principled man,
The company is running out of money to pay? They can’t meet deadlines? That person finds it humiliating that the company is in that situation.
And that’s the attitude of a businessman. If you can’t keep your promise, you should apologize first. How can you ask for mercy?
How can you run a business and run a country without that level of responsibility?
I just get angry when I see people who don’t even admit their own mistakes because of their petty pride.
“What can we do when our business is in trouble? Please postpone the payment date. I would appreciate it if the government could increase subsidies and reduce taxes.”
“No, it’s not just our country that’s having a hard time, the world economy is having a hard time. I’m telling you, it’s not the government’s fault. It’s the world’s trend.”
Aren’t these words and attitudes something we’ve seen and heard a lot about?
I’ve been caught off guard more than once by corporate-politician behavior in the future.
Those who run businesses and run the country not to take responsibility but to enjoy themselves, in a word, have no credibility.
Because there is no credit, consumers and citizens cannot trust companies and politicians. That is the future Korea I lived in.
Why has Korea’s development stagnated in the future? It is because of the attitude of prioritizing excuses and circumstances rather than principles.
Who gave the presidency the task of making excuses?
That’s why there are so many scammers in Korea. I took a firm stance to root out that damned nature.
The incident of blowing up Hosung Trading and transferring its shares to Mitsubishi had a huge impact on Korean society.
Korean companies are going over to Japan, but I took a firm stance.
[Running a business is not about circumstances and excuses, but about trust and principles. Who digs the ground to do business and has money flowing in to pay on time? A person without trust and principles is not qualified to run a business. I did not sell Korean companies to Japan. I just broke up companies that had no trust and joined hands with companies that had trust.]
In fact, Hosung Trading Company has been a company that has been talked about for corruption and credit issues for several years.
I turned a blind eye to this a few times, but these guys don’t know the limits.
I didn’t destroy Korean companies, I just destroyed dead-end companies. When I showed this attitude, Japanese businessmen voluntarily extended a helping hand.
I am a person who would join hands with a Japanese company if it had credibility and principles.
What does it matter what Japan did to Korea in the past?
Now, I am in a position where I have to control both Korea and Japan at the same time, and I have put a global mindset ahead of that narrow perspective.
That’s why Japanese politicians like me. If I had simply shown off my wealth and power, would I have been treated like this?
In a situation where the Japanese emperor, politicians, businessmen, and people are all on my side, how can Japanese intellectuals define Korea as an invader?
In addition, since U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently made openly disparaging remarks about Japan, Japan must unconditionally stick close to Korea.
In this way, I completed the economic belt connecting Korea – Japan – Shanghai – Taiwan.
The value of Daehan Transportation also rose explosively.
Three years ago, the company was valued at $92 billion, but now it is worth $110 billion. There are over 4,000 companies under the Daehan Transportation umbrella, and the number of workers is 4.2 million.
What do I have to be afraid of in the future?
Honestly, I’m not even afraid of America anymore.
The combined population of Korea and Japan is approximately 160 million, which is comparable to the 200 million in the United States, and the size of their economies has also reached 70% of that of the United States.
Even the US probably didn’t expect Korea to grow so quickly. Even the arrogant Henry Kissinger was rude to Japan, but humbled himself before Korea.
The problem was that this offended the Japanese, and Japanese intellectuals had no hesitation in disparaging the United States.
[Henry Kissinger evaluated Japan as mean and rude, and I want to return that remark. The US Secretary of State makes diplomatic arrangements solely for the political gains of the US and for personal feelings. However, the Korean leader treats Japan with principles and trust, so Japan cannot help but trust Korea more than the US.]
Now, Japanese public opinion openly rejects the United States.
Whose fault is this?
What is clear is that Henry Kissinger dealt with Japan based on his own standards and personal feelings, and how will he deal with the aftermath?
The US policy of leading the Asian order by manipulating Korea and Japan has completely gone awry.
