I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 207

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (207)
“What is the motive for the crime?”
“That’s… I did it because I wanted to get the attention of the girl I like…”
“What? Are you kidding me?”
This is Gyeongseong,
Kim Hak-young, deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, received an absurd report.
Recently, President Reagan was almost assassinated, but the perpetrator arrested at the scene refused to open his mouth even under intense questioning.
Is it the extreme right-wing forces behind this that treat President Reagan, who abolished the Foreign Investment Prohibition Act and attracted Korean capital to the United States, as a traitor?
Public opinion also constantly produced rumors about the motive for the crime, but the motive that was revealed was, in a word, shocking.
How should I take this when I hear that he did something like that to get the attention of a girl he likes?
A motive for the crime that no one would believe,
The Central Intelligence Agency also took this incident very seriously, as there was a recent incident in which an American far-right group attempted to assassinate the head of state of South Korea.
If a far-right group is targeting President Reagan, wouldn’t they kill the Korean leader?
What if an American far-right group enters Korea and points a gun at Changgyeonggung Palace, an incident that could nullify the visa agreement between the two countries?
But according to information the FBI passed on to the CIA, the killer had no ties to any far-right group.
I was just a country bumpkin living in Louisiana for the past three years, unemployed and never fired a handgun, so the bullet aimed at President Reagan never fired.
Of course, I need to do more research, but so far, there’s nothing unusual.
Kim Hak-young, who had figured out the whole story, muttered to himself.
“Those guys who aren’t even that great are making a fuss….”
The head of state who has reigned as the absolute ruler of Korea for the past 27 years,
During all those years, wouldn’t there have been people trying to take his life?
There was a time when a group of Korean-Japanese children planned to assassinate a head of state, but failed, and then targeted Chairman Shin Kyuk-ho. The Central Intelligence Agency has so far uncovered seven assassination attempts.
All of them failed to even get close to the head of state, how could such insignificant things dare to think of going for the head of the supreme ruler.
The more I thought about it, the more amazed I became.
‘Those who originally had no thoughts planned such things.’
Even if you look at history, the motive for assassination is very simple.
Why did the Roman Republic assassinate Julius Caesar?
Did the Republicans regain control because they believed that if they just got rid of the ‘villain’ called Caesar, everything would be fine?
The reality is that the bear did all the tricks and someone else took the money, as Caesar handed power over to his successor Octavianus.
The irony of history is that this is not the first time this has happened.
Even Akechi Mitsuhide, who assassinated Oda Nobunaga, a warlord during Japan’s Sengoku period, at Honnoji, could not clearly explain why he committed treason.
“That incident happened unexpectedly.”
Akechi Mitsuhide sent this letter to his brother-in-law.
It was unexpected, so what was the motive for the crime?
Did he think that if he could just kill Nobunaga, the absolute ruler of Japan, the world would be decided somehow? After Michihide staged a rebellion, he asked for cooperation from the surrounding daimyo, but no one agreed.
In the meantime, a third party named Toyotomi Hideyoshi appeared and overthrew Akechi Mitsuhide and unified Japan.
It showed what kind of results a rebellion caused without any countermeasures can lead to.
What about the US and Korea?
Will the world become peaceful if President Reagan and Marshal Park Sang-geun die?
If I kill those two, is there any follow-up measure?
The stupid idea of just killing them first will only cause more confusion, and it is unlikely that those who don’t even have that kind of thought will understand what I’m saying.
The problem is that people actually die because of those idiots, and it’s the job of the FBI and the CIA to catch those lunatics.
The best policy is to beat up a crazy person.
Kim Hak-young arrested everyone, regardless of status or age, who dared talk about assassinating the head of state.
Among them, there is a 70-year-old senior citizen.
First, they dragged him in, beat him to death, and started interrogating him.
“What the hell are you doing? Why did you try to set fire to Changgyeonggung Palace?”
“That… That… I don’t want to die alone…”
“What the? Hey, you XXX, if you’re going to lose, then lose it alone. Where the hell are you talking nonsense?!!”
The investigation found that the old man had lost his leg in an accident at a young age.
He lived his whole life in poverty and suffering, and his resentment spread to the world.
He approached Changgyeonggung Palace with the thought of setting it on fire rather than living and dying like this, but it was a reckless attempt.
What kind of place is Changgyeonggung Palace?
The place where the head of state of this country resides. Would a lunatic like this even think about such things and approach it?
The right way to deal with the waste of this society is to incinerate it.
Erased from the world without anyone knowing.

“So, how did you deal with the culprit?”
“I handled it quietly. You don’t have to worry.”
“Thank goodness. This is where the culprit set the fire.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I received a report from Kim Hak-young, Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The arson attack targeting Changgyeonggung Palace was fortunate that the fire was committed here. What would have happened if it had been a public facility frequented by civilians?
Dozens of people died and I had to do something to clean up the mess.
It was fortunate that the criminal was targeting Changgyeonggung Palace, but Kim Hak-young could not accept that.
“What do you mean, Marshal? If you suffer, this country will fall into even greater chaos.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but in the end, it’s fortunate that the perpetrator targeted this place. Imagine if the perpetrator had set fire to a public facility, who knows if dozens of people would have died?”
“But… I think there are weights to human life.”
“How heavy is it?”
“Yes, there are people who don’t mind dying and those who don’t. Even if tens of thousands of Koreans die, the enemy must never be harmed.”
I smiled faintly.
Is this guy trying to flatter me now?
But it is true that terrorism has been rampant around the world recently, so that is why we are reacting so sensitively.
So should I just stay in a safe place and close my heart?
In some ways, that’s wise.
[A politician was stabbed by a pedestrian]
[Japanese Prime Minister ○○○ dies after being shot by a shotgun during a campaign]
[Presidential security, budget increased by 19.3 billion, total budget of 100 billion invested.]
I’m not a politician famous enough to get stabbed in the future, but I think about this every time there’s a terrorist attack targeting politicians.
How many sins must one have committed to be stabbed with a knife and a shotgun?
In fact, all those involved in politics are sinners, they are cursed at on a daily basis, and when things go wrong, the public points fingers at them.
But is that a mortal sin?
Even if you are a member of the National Assembly, you have less than 5 years of power. What can you do in 5 years? All you can do is yell at the State Council and grab each other by the collar. That is the level and capability of the members of the National Assembly.
So, what do you expect from those who gather around low-quality people and spit on the party and turn their backs on it just because they didn’t nominate me?
Those people don’t even deserve to be shot.
But I am the absolute ruler who has been in power for 27 years,
How many people were killed and how many human rights were violated during that period?
Dissolving the opposition party twice, dissolving the National Assembly three times, even if that was the way to serve the country, can all the accumulated resentment be repaid with a single bullet?
So I’m ready to take a bullet at any time.
With that much power, there must be a lot to shoulder. Would you have come to this position without that level of determination?
That too was a very selfish thought, and it comforted the excited Vice President Kim Hak-young.
“Would the members of the National Assembly get shot as they walk by? They don’t deserve it. They’re just people who waste their money on nothing. Who would want to take their lives? But not me. I’ve accumulated a lot of resentment over the past 27 years, and I’m here because I’m prepared to shoulder it.”
“Ha… but Your Majesty… I…”
“If you don’t have that level of determination, you can’t be a dictator. Do you think Caesar would have died overnight? It’s the karma he’s accumulated over time that has led to this result. Honestly, I wouldn’t feel wronged if I died now. So stop the excessive security.”
Even if I suddenly die one day, it can’t be helped.
But it is a shame that innocent citizens die while walking down the street.
What crime did those people commit that they deserve to die?
So I said thank you to the arsonist for setting fire to Changgyeonggung Palace.
A life worth dying for is enough for a dictator like me, and the lives of the common people were not given any weight.

[Marshal Park Sang-geun visited the National Cemetery today to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Shanghai victory. He paid his respects at the memorials of the soldiers who died in the Shanghai Battle and consoled their bereaved families.]
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I visited the National Cemetery to pay my respects and console the bereaved families.
Can I cover up the tragedy of war by saying that it was for the national interest? Can I be proud in front of the 6,000 soldiers who lost their lives and their bereaved families?
Why did I have to live and they had to die?
For the development and future of the country? Who decided that?
I opened my mouth after much thought about what I should say in front of the bereaved family.
“Looking at the grim expressions of the bereaved families, I had this thought. Is there such a thing as weighting a person’s life? Am I a life that should not die? Then why did the soldiers buried here die? I dare not say that it was for the country. That is not something I, a survivor, dare to say.”
The event site is becoming more and more solemn,
I continued what I had been saying.
“If you want to blame me, blame me. The people in the National Assembly are just a bunch of people grabbing each other by the collar and yelling at each other for just five years of power.
What power do they have to curse at them?
But I have been ruling this country for 27 years.
The Shanghai War? The Middle East War? It was all my doing. I sent countless lives to the battlefield in the name of national interest.
That karma keeps piling up and will come back to me someday.
If I was that scared, I wouldn’t have come out here. I don’t know about other people, but I have nothing to say to you. Even if you curse at me, I will listen to it, and even if bullets fly at me here, I don’t think there’s anything I can do.
But if you all will be lenient, I would like to continue to work hard for this country. I think that is the best excuse a mere survivor can make.”
One of the bereaved family members stood up and began to applaud in encouragement.
I don’t blame you, so I guess you can take it as a request to continue working hard in the future. Others also got caught up in the atmosphere and joined in.
Doesn’t that mean I’ve done a good job in politics so far?
The bodyguards also stepped back and shook hands with the bereaved families.
Since I lost my family, I thought I should fill the void, so I decided to increase the pension paid to the bereaved families by 15% this time.
Prices keep rising, but how can pensions stagnate?
The administration was also instructed to pay special attention to survivors’ pensions.
