He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (21)

“What about Kim Gyu?”

“There is no movement.”

“That would be difficult, because we wouldn’t be able to exert influence on the Korean Peninsula.”

This is Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China.

Chiang Kai-shek paid close attention to the movements of the South Korean government ahead of the general election.

Chiang Kai-shek envisioned an ideal China ruled by the Republic of China, with Korea at its feet, restoring the Chinese order.

But now that dream is on the verge of going up in smoke,

In this situation, Chiang Kai-shek has only one card to play.

The provisional government forces with deep ties to the Republic of China are jumping into the Korean political arena, but Kim Gyu did not participate in the general elections and the same goes for the presidential election.

What on earth is Kim Gyu thinking when he does something like this?

Chiang Kai-shek was curious about that.

“Send someone to find out what’s on his mind.”

“All right.”

The Republic of China sent people to Korea.

The reason why this can be done is because the Republic of China fought against Japan as an allied force with the United States and the Soviet Union.

What will the US say if we send people as UN forces?

In this way, the Republic of China began its behind-the-scenes efforts to force the provisional government into Korean politics.

***

“Hello, teacher.”

“nice to meet you.”

This is Kim Gyu’s house,

Liu Yuan, the Chinese representative to the UN Korean Commission, met Kim Kyu face to face.

Now that colonial rule has been confirmed, the only thing Kim Gyu can do is jump into politics. He must enter the tiger’s den to catch the tiger.

Liu Weiwan continued his persuasion.

“There is a saying in China. Brothers can fight with each other in the family, but they should not bring shame to the family. Right now, the Soviet Union is trying to communize South Korea, and it would be difficult for you to just stand back and do nothing.”

Kim Gyu would not like the Korean People’s Party, which is supported by the US military government.

Even brothers fight each other, so how can we not fight among ourselves if we are of the same race? However, if we repeat this to each other in front of the common enemy called communism, it will only bring shame to the nation.

So Chiang Kai-shek advised Kim Kyu to cooperate with the Korean People’s Party to fight communism.

Then, wouldn’t he also be able to increase his power as the leader of the opposition party and have an opportunity to overturn the government in the future?

But the words that came out of Kim Gyu’s mouth were shocking.

“I went to Pyongyang the other day and saw… North Korea is clearly preparing for war. The Soviet Union is also supporting it from behind.”

“I see, right? So….”

“Listen to me until the end. No matter what preparations the South Korean government makes, it cannot prevent war. And the Soviet Union will establish a People’s Republic here with the North Korean army at the forefront. So there is no need to cooperate with the Korean People’s Party.”

Liu Weiwan’s mind was blank for a moment.

Is this something a human named Kim Gyu can say?

The Soviet Union, led by the North Korean army, will occupy South Korea and establish a People’s Republic, so there is no need to join hands with the Korean People’s Party?

This is the same as predicting that communism would take over the Korean peninsula.

Chiang Kai-shek hates the United States, but he is terrified of communism.

Since Kim Kyu had mentioned that a People’s Republic would be established on the Korean Peninsula, it was obvious how Chiang Kai-shek would treat him.

“Sir, I think that statement is a bit dangerous. Do you want communism to take over the Korean peninsula?”

“Listen to the end. I also know that the communists want to use me to shake up the South Korean government. I don’t want to be used by them, and I have no intention of cooperating with the Korean People’s Party, which is a stooge of the United States. It’s hard for me to get along with them because of my personality. So I don’t want to be used by either North Korea or South Korea. I will live like this as a wild man for the rest of my life.”

An attitude that doesn’t waver no matter what is said,

Liu Yuan, who decided that persuasion was pointless, wrote a report on his conversation with Kim Gyu and delivered it to the Kuomintang.

With the Republic of China literally turned upside down, Chiang Kai-shek decided to abandon Kim Kyu.

‘If you come out like this, I will offer you up as a sacrifice.’

Chiang Kai-shek delivered Liu Yuan’s report to the South Korean government.

From the perspective of the Korean People’s Party, Kim Kyu is a thorn in their side, and if the Republic of China provides an excuse to kill Kim Kyu, the one-party dictatorship will be confirmed.

If that happens, the South Korean government will get along well with the Republic of China in the future, and if things go well, there will be an opportunity to restore order in China.

There was no hesitation in throwing away tools that had become useless.

***

‘Brothers can fight each other, but they must not bring shame on the family.’

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I carved the seal of patience into my heart three times.

Kim Kyu, who has been picking and choosing words that will kill you recently, is saying that the North Korean army will soon invade South Korea and establish a People’s Republic?

I am speechless at the thought of saying something embarrassing even to my own close associates, in front of the Chinese representative at the UN.

‘What makes you so great? Huh?’

You don’t want to be used by either North or South Korea?

He thinks he’s something, but to be honest, he’s worthless.

Before the United States and the Soviet Union pursued left-right cooperation, Kim Kyu had no chance to interfere in the political arena, but he was completely ignored and treated as a virtual non-existent person.

But what he did after that was amazing. He made all kinds of nonsense, saying that if a unified government could not be established on the Korean peninsula, he would commit suicide at the 38th parallel. So what happened in the end?

Didn’t you go and see it with your own eyes?

It is an established fact that North Korea is planning a large-scale invasion targeting South Korea. So, shouldn’t we first prevent the North Korean invasion by cooperating with the US military government?

However, the author showed a resigned attitude, saying that North Korea would invade and establish a people’s republic on the Korean Peninsula.

‘So that’s all you can do. Your pride comes first, right? You don’t want to be used by anyone, and you want to form a unified government and do whatever you want, right? Wow~ You did well~ Yeah~ You did well~.’

Who do you think bows their head to America for something they like?

I also felt a great sense of shame when the US gave me $1 million through currency reform and then took it back.

Is there any reason why I should beg like this to protect South Korea? I can just flatter the US military government and take care of my own interests, regardless of whether the people live like beggars or not.

Who would think that people bow their heads to the US military government because they are happy?

A fool who knows one thing but not two,

That’s why I can’t look favorably on Kim Gyu as a person.

He pretends to be noble and clean, the world is rotten so I won’t get swept up in it, he pretends to be a scholar and falls into a slump, but I want to kill him.

But as the Chinese proverb goes, a fight between brothers should not become a national disgrace.

What benefit would it bring to the country if I kill Kim Gyu?

Chiang Kai-shek’s true intention was to sacrifice Kim Kyu to promote friendship between the Republic of China and Korea. I have no intention of falling for that bald, sinister trick.

‘Where did you get your nonsense? Do you think you’re smart? All you do is slander me… I pity the Chinese who are under the likes of you.’

Chiang Kai-shek was a man who showed the height of incompetence.

How much suffering has the Chinese people suffered because of that man’s lust for power.

They caused inflation by issuing counterfeit money to cover war costs, and as a result, the Chinese people suffered from starvation.

A human being who would have crawled to the island in the south if the United States had not grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up.

Then, you should live quietly while watching the US’s reaction. Are you going to interfere in Korean politics just because you are a member of the UN forces?

So, this person also prioritizes his own face.

Hoping that the Korean Peninsula will come under the Chinese sphere is simply absurd.

“Tear it up.”

“Yes? Mr. President, what do you mean?”

“Tear it up. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it.”

“This is a good opportunity to deal with Kim Kyu. Put him on the death row as a traitor to the nation.”

“That’s what Chiang Kai-shek wants. I’m not a puppet of the Republic of China.”

I disposed of the materials Chiang Kai-shek gave me.

He emphasized that it was enough to bow his head to the United States alone and that he had no intention of bowing down to the likes of the Republic of China.

He also warned the Korean People’s Party not to make any threats to Kim Kyu, and gave instructions that if anything happened to Kim Kyu, he would shit on his face.

“He’s not worth killing, so touching him will only tarnish my honor. Do you want me to go down in history as someone who killed people for power?”

“Ah… no… that’s not it.”

“Anyone who disobeys this order will be sent to the execution grounds myself. If I say don’t touch me, don’t touch me.”

This incident was buried quietly like this.

But this is just the beginning,

I issued a nationwide gun buyback order ahead of the presidential election.

After liberation, independence fighters were busy shooting at each other and mercilessly killing their political opponents because they had different ideologies. In a word, it was a disgrace to the country.

What Kim Gyu did was exactly at that level.

The South Korean government has enacted a law that would sentence anyone found in possession of a firearm to a minimum of three years in prison.

Threatening or harming someone with a gun can result in the death penalty, and there is also a policy of exchanging guns for dollars if returned.

Potential terrorists who both hand over their guns,

After destroying the leftists hiding in the dark and even the far-right terrorists, the path to the presidency is now wide open.

***

“Then, we will now begin voting.”

This is where 200 members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, the Constitutional Assembly, gathered in one place.

A place to elect leaders who will lead the autonomous government of the Republic of Korea.

At 10 a.m. the Vice President is elected, and at 2 p.m. the President is elected.

The National Assembly has elected Lee Si-young as Vice President, and now all that remains is the presidential election.

Although there were several candidates in name only, it was in reality a rigged game of Go-Stop, and Ji Chang-cheon, who was elected as the Speaker of the National Assembly, took the microphone.

“Then I will announce the results of the election. Park Sang-geun, the candidate of the Korean People’s Party, received 172 votes out of 200 and became the first president of the Republic of Korea. The term of office for the first president is 30 years, and the term of office for subsequent presidents is 7 years.”

“Wow!!!!”

The cheers of the Korean People’s Party members shook the building,

He was called the president, but wasn’t he the one who would rule Joseon for the next 30 years? Even those who voted against him knew that.

Even if you don’t like it, it’s a trend that you can’t reject. Are you going to live like Kim Gyu, shut in the wilderness, resenting the rotten world?

Even if you pretend to be so clean, the world won’t change.

An intellectual is someone who has to do something even if he has to wallow in shit.

He joined hands with the Korean People’s Party and jumped into the project of rebuilding the country that had been devastated by Japanese exploitation.

The same goes for the capitalists, who fled to South Korea to escape Soviet oppression and saw hope here.

The United States also recognizes the government of the Republic of Korea as the only legitimate government on the Korean Peninsula.

A loan of $6 million was granted to commemorate the establishment of the autonomous government.

“The Korean people deserve to have their own government. The Korean People’s Party has successfully resolved the chaotic public order and has shown the ability to integrate public opinion. I hope that Korea will become completely independent in 30 years and become an eternal friend of the United States.”

MacArthur, the commander of the Far East Army, also sent a message congratulating the establishment of the autonomous government.

This incident gave the Japanese a huge shock.

Korea, which claimed 30 years of trusteeship, actually has a government.

In the future, Korea will continue to grow with support from the United States, but Japan has no government and no direction for its development.

No, the US is not allowing that.

Why would we raise those who attacked the American mainland as pretty?

While Korea established an autonomous government and pursued economic development, Japan only watched the United States.
