He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (204)

“Everyone, first of all, I would like to express my regrets about this incident.”

This is the UN headquarters in New York.

UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim expressed regret over the South Korean military’s invasion of Urumqi.

It is true that a terrorist organization caused chaos in Nanjing, but did they really have to resort to such extreme measures?

The tragedy of Israel persecuting 1 million Palestinians is drawing the world’s attention, but Korea is going one step further and imprisoning 1.6 million people.

Kurt Waldheim called on the South Korean government to take lenient measures.

“As a powerful nation, Korea has a duty to contribute to world peace. Nothing can be resolved through such violent means. We demand the immediate release of the captured civilians and the withdrawal of troops from Urumqi.”

This opinion received strong support from progressives in the United States.

South Korea, which was supposed to help the United States and contribute to world peace, is instead committing war crimes. However, this incident took an unexpected turn.

“There is a saying in Korea that the darkness is under the lamp. The American public opinion seems to be unaware of Waldheim’s true identity, but we know who he is.”

A conspiracy theory that has been raised for a long time,

In 1971, Waldheim, who had lost in the Austrian presidential election, ran again for the position of UN Secretary-General and was elected.

The actions that Waldheim has shown since then are those of a pacifist himself.

He visited Africa to sympathize with their difficulties and also mediate conflicts in the Indochina Peninsula.

In addition, he showed his presence by leading the Conference on Trade and Development (1972), the Conference on the Human Environment (1972), the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1974), the World Population Conference (1974), and the World Food Conference (1974), and thanks to this, he was successfully re-elected.

The problem is that behind his brilliant resume lies an ugly nature, and world opinion has long been suspicious of President Waldheim’s past.

The fact that his activities between 1938 and 1945 were erased from his autobiography.

Waldheim’s hometown is Austria, and it was under German influence during World War II.

Doesn’t that erased trace match the period of Nazi activity?

As suspicions continued, Waldheim quickly stepped forward to provide an explanation.

“I admit that I took part in the war, but I was wounded and lived a quiet life in Austria. That’s all.”

But the investigation by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency found that it was a lie.

How did Waldheim, who was active as a member of the Nazi stormtroopers during that period and committed global war crimes, end up as the UN Secretary-General?

Does such a person have the right to talk about peace in the Middle East and the Urumqi incident?

The Korean ambassador to the United States issued a warning to the UN.

“I admit that Korea has shed a lot of blood on its hands so far. In Shanghai, we killed 300,000 Chinese soldiers, and in order to restore order in Shanghai, we made an example of thousands of residents. In the Middle East, we started two wars following the United States, and in the process, we shed countless blood. This incident is no different.

But what is clear is that there is a justification for the war in Korea.

No one has ever started a war for such irrational reasons as the Nazis, such as wanting to rebuild a great Germany or erasing the Jews from the world.

Urumqi has long been a den of terrorists, and the fundamental solution to eradicating them is to disperse the residents there. How long are you going to ignore the fundamental problem while talking about human rights?

“Are we going to throw away pesticides, saying that killing mosquitoes is murder?”

The world’s public opinion was shocked by the Korean ambassador’s firm rhetoric.

It’s not Korea’s shameless attitude that’s the problem, but the fact that Waldheim is a former member of the Nazi stormtroopers that’s more shocking.

How did someone like that end up as UN Secretary-General, talking about world peace?

Waldheim denied the allegations outright, but the suspicious traces recorded in his autobiography and numerous pieces of evidence supported the charges.

“How dare a former Nazi stormtrooper speak out against war?!!”

“Get down now!! A guy like you became the UN Secretary General and was even re-elected!! This is unbelievable!!”

Public opinion in the United States, which had been positive about Waldheim, has also turned cold.

Further investigation revealed that Waldheim was also involved in the torture of Allied prisoners. How could such a person be a leader in the UN? Trust in the UN fell to rock bottom.

The Korean invasion of Urumqi became a water ride, but the Korean government had no intention of covering up the incident to this extent.

Now is the time when we need strong international norms to lead the world. What is the point of the UN, which has no real power, talking about peace like a cuckoo?

This occasion provided a forum for the major powers to discuss the world situation.

The Korean government invited reporters from each country to Gyeongseong and expressed its position that a philosophy and law that lead the world are now needed.

“The reason Palestine wants independence is clear. They were promised independence by Britain. But can independence be achieved just by someone else’s promise? If Korea had only believed in the promises of powerful countries to grant independence, it would not have come this far.”

This is not a lie, it is a fact.

Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill met face to face at the Yalta Conference (1945). Their goal was to stop Japan from invading China, and Korea was not of great interest.

The essence of the Yalta Conference was Roosevelt’s demand for the Soviet Union’s entry into the war.

From America’s perspective, that was enough.

Although Syngman Rhee attempted to secure Korea’s independence by attending the UN founding general assembly as an observer, the United States drew the line, saying that Syngman Rhee was not qualified to represent Korea.

Following this, the provisional government requested recognition of the provisional government, but this was also ignored, meaning that the independence of Korea was not of great interest to the great powers.

What’s more interesting is that Korea’s independence was recognized at the Cairo Conference (1943) held before the Yalta Conference, but what does it mean that the great powers showed such an attitude at the Yalta Conference held two years later?

According to their logic, the fate of a weak country can be decided at any time.

Korea is a rabbit stuck between those tiger-like superpowers. Could it have become a tiger if it had only been looking at the mouths of the superpowers?

What about Palestine then?

Historically, it was ruled by many empires, including the Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, and later by Britain.

What efforts did Palestine make to preserve its national identity during this process?

Did they even have the will to defend their own land? For them, independence was a gift that fell from the sky one day.

“I will give you independence after the war is over.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, maybe… that’s right.”

Of course, that promise was not kept.

There is no need to explain what happened after the end of World War II and the establishment of the state of Israel by the Jews as the Zionist fervor blew.

Palestinian armed forces continued to attack Israeli territory, but suffered defeat after defeat. They joined hands with Iraq to attack Israel, but were counterattacked and their leadership fled abroad.

Then, it was completely destroyed by the attack of the US-Korea-Israel coalition.

This is their history.

The history of colonial rule starting from the Assyrian Empire, so can a single ‘promise’ from a powerful country justify their independence? If you look at it that way, when Korea was invaded by Japan, it should have been protected by the United States according to the mutual defense treaty.

But America ignores it, that’s international relations.

Britain promised independence?

Is that really a justification for Palestine’s independence?

The same goes for the Urumqi incident. The Uyghurs were under Qing rule for a long time, but finally gained independence, but were once again ruled by the Communist Party, and recently once again by the Soviet Union.

Then, when Soviet support was cut off, they turned into a terrorist group and attacked Korea.

Do you think this group is qualified to talk about human rights and independence?

The Korean government took a firm stance, saying that incineration of cockroach nests was the right answer.

“Palestine has always caused problems. In the Middle East war five years ago, they invaded Israel in cooperation with Jordan and Iraq, and now their leaders have transformed into a terrorist organization and are kidnapping hostages all over the world. It is cowardly to put human rights first for these people.

Who doesn’t like peace?

If you don’t want to get cursed at, just shout peace. Just like former UN Secretary-General Waldheim became a pacifist to cover up his past. How convenient is it if you don’t get cursed at just by telling people not to fight?

But we all know that this is not a fundamental solution.

The only way for Palestinians to survive is to submit and obey Israeli rule. Otherwise, the same harsh rule will continue.

“Do not resist, but submit. You have been promised independence, but you have no power to put it into practice. Did Korea have no pride in insisting on a 30-year trusteeship with the United States? Pride alone cannot solve anything.”

This statement also affected the peoples under the Korean umbrella.

Do the people of Nanjing and Shanghai want independence, and even if they do, what will they do next? They now have no way of surviving without Korean rule.

The same goes for the numerous satellite states under the Soviet Union; would they be able to use energy cheaply without Soviet protection?

There are those who advocate separatism, talking about independence, but Korea has kept a thorough distance from such people.

The situation is the same in European countries,

What difference will it make if we only shout ‘peace’ regarding the Palestinian incident?

In particular, Britain, which was directly involved in this incident, could not criticize Korea. The British government remained silent on the Palestinian incident, and of course, did not take an official position on the Urumqi incident.

“Your Majesty, the governors of each region have submitted a petition.”

“What is that?”

“It means that we will forever be Korean citizens.”

This is Changgyeonggung Palace, and I have received petitions from all over the place.

Korea’s current population is approximately 92 million, and excluding the 50 million natives, approximately 42 million people live overseas.

The problem is that they have no direct blood relationship with Koreans, most are Chinese, followed by Japanese and Jewish.

Because forcibly annexing them could lead to ethnic problems, each region is given autonomy by appointing an administrative minister.

Now that we have enough to eat and live, those who dream of independence can emerge.

However, the administrators pushed for annexation with Korea.

Haven’t they seen how Korea handled the Palestine-Urumqi incident, especially in Nanjing, where public opinion has completely turned to Korea because of this incident?

When civilians are kidnapped by armed groups, who takes care of it?

The Korean military immediately confirmed that it was better to be Korean than to vaguely identify as a Nanjing person.

It’s the same for other local residents,

Although many people became Korean through a referendum nine years ago, many people still live in the Shanghai-Taiwan area with their own identity.

But now, the atmosphere is such that two-timing is not allowed.

Am I a Nanjing person or a Korean? Or am I a Shanghai person? Looking at the world situation, public opinion has formed that it is better to be Korean.

So, the administrative ministers also submit petitions like this.

I have referred this matter to Congress.

Rather than shirk responsibility, he said he would listen to what Koreans had to say, and Koreans generally responded positively.

It’s a bit awkward to be together with Chinese people under the umbrella of Korea, but if relocation is restricted like it is now, I don’t think there’s anything particularly inconvenient about it.

In this way, the autonomous districts were completely incorporated into the Korean government.

The position of the administrative minister was changed to provincial governor, and the administrative districts of each region were reorganized in the Korean style.
