I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 254

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (254)

“Mom, can’t you just hide it for a little while?”

“It’s not the time for that now. You know very well what the people think of us, don’t you?”

This is England, and Queen Elizabeth II is being harassed by her daughter.

The issue that has arisen this time is the prince’s military enlistment. British princes have a tradition of joining the Royal Marines after graduating from university.

Naturally, Prince Edward, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II, will also enlist in the military, and the prince, who is scheduled to enlist, will even receive financial support for his education from the country.

But the prince doesn’t enlist in the military?

But Prince Edward was not cut out for the military from the start.

Because of his passive personality and lack of presence, he was bullied by his classmates during his childhood, and because he was too soft-hearted, he could not serve in the military.

Princess Anne, who knows her brother’s personality better than anyone else, wants to cancel his military enlistment, but the British royal family is currently under the cold gaze of the public.

What would happen if a prince who received a scholarship from the country as a condition of joining the military refused to join the military?

It only adds fuel to the fire of public opinion.

But the queen, conscious of public opinion, rejected her daughter’s proposal.

“If you are born into the royal family, you must have the qualifications and dignity that come with it. I think you understand.”

Princess Anne could not go against the Queen’s will.

Having lived as a member of the royal family for 36 years myself, I know what my mother means.

It is true that the weight of it weighs down my life, but I have enjoyed much more as a member of the royal family.

And the reality is that in order to enjoy that position, you have to be mindful of the public opinion. If my younger brother runs away like this, who will suffer in the end?

Prince Edward, who is ninth in line to the throne and third in line to the throne, has a privileged position, and rather than running away from military life because it is difficult, it is better for him to finish his service and enjoy his rights proudly.

Princess Anne also followed her mother’s wishes and suggested that her younger brother join the military.

“Brother, I think it would be a good idea for you to go to the military.”

“Sister, I don’t want to go to the military.”

“It’s only been a year. If you can endure it, you can stand before the people with pride. I can proudly say that I devoted myself to the country. And yet you’re trying to run away?”

“Haa~ I don’t know why I was born into royalty.”

“Don’t say that. If you hadn’t been born into royalty, would you have been able to live this luxuriously? We can’t escape royalty. You know that, don’t you?”

Prince Edward let out a faint sigh.

While the people were shivering in unheated rooms due to carbon emissions, how did the royal family live during that time?

It was just carbon emissions and a blister, and it was just heating.

Such a double standard of the royal family has angered the public. On the other hand, Prince Edward was born a prince, so he drank hot tea in an air-conditioned room and ate ice cream in a heated room.

If you want to maintain that kind of lifestyle, you have to serve in the military. It can’t be helped.

Prince Edward accepted his sister’s offer.

“You don’t need to go to the military!! Why would you go to the military?!!”

Here a figure appears who challenges the prince’s resolve.

The main character is Prince Edward’s father, Duke Mountbatten. Wasn’t the prince forced to join the navy during World War II?

But now there is no war and there is no reason for the prince to enlist in the military.

In addition, the real estate portfolio operated by the royal family has recently been put up for parliamentary audit, and even the prince is sending troops. How long will the royal family have to keep making concessions?

Lord Mountbatten hugged his son and said that was enough.

“There is no need to force yourself to join the military. I even apologized in front of the protesters, despite the humiliation. Why should you be humiliated too?”

“Father, wouldn’t it be better to enlist in the military for the sake of preserving the royal family’s reputation? And it’s also my mother’s wish…”

“It’s okay, this time I will protect you.”

In this way, Lord Mountbatten took it upon himself to become his son’s black knight.

The problem was that the aftermath of the incident, when news spread throughout Britain that the prince, who had been sent to university on government funds, had refused to enlist in the military.

[Prince Edward entered Cambridge University despite his poor academic performance because he was a royal. On top of that, he only got a C in English and a D in History and Politics. The British royal family made fools of the common people who had to endure fierce entrance exams and pay 1,000 pounds a year in tuition.]

Another scandal of the British royal family revealed,

If you can’t study, why don’t you join the military and serve your country? What use would a prince like that be?

As public opinion worsened, Elizabeth II pushed Prince Edward away.

“Go away, the only place you can escape blame is the army.”

“Yes, mother… .”

So Prince Edward enlisted in the army.

However, the prince had a hard time adapting to the culture of obedience that did not suit him from the beginning, and after four months of enlistment, he asked the royal family for help.

“Sister, I’m having a hard time. I can’t stay here any longer.”

“Oh, yeah. It’s been four months since I enlisted, so public opinion will probably be quiet by now.”

Princess Anne conspired with her father to have her younger brother escape from the military.

But the paparazzi, who had noticed this like a ghost, were fiercely attacking Prince Edward, claiming that he had run away from the army.

Shouldn’t desertion be dealt with under military law?

As his son became embroiled in criticism, Lord Mountbatten’s patience wore thin.

“Is it the poor’s hobby to harass the rich?!! Well, that’s the attitude that suits communists!!”

The royal family’s shame has begun again.

The fact that someone who recently apologized in front of citizens is saying something like this again shows that there was no reflection from the beginning.

The British royal family, who no longer have any expectations,

Public opinion calling for the abolition of the monarchy spread like wildfire again.

“Your Majesty, Master Park Myeong has arrived.”

“is it so?”

This is the Daedeok County official residence. I welcomed the two brothers who came to my office.

He is said to be a half-brother, but he was raised like a son.

He also calls me ‘little dad’.

A father couldn’t visit his son while he was serving in the military, but I’m also busy, so I think he’ll understand.

Anyway, the meeting was arranged like that.

The guy who entered the office shouted in a loud voice.

“Loyalty!! Corporal Park Myeong-ui has been discharged from the military as of October 12, 1986!! I hereby report to you, Marshal!!”

“Stop acting all formal and just sit down, you punk.”

“Hey, isn’t the head of state a bit too informal?”

“That’s what I’ll say. Let’s see how long you keep this formality.”

A guy who just got discharged from the military and is very disciplined.

But how long will that last?

A few days later, he was a guy who couldn’t even make a single blanket with his own hands. They didn’t even treat him like a soldier because his future was obvious.

As expected, the guy who was released from military service

I leaned back on the sofa and spread my legs wide open.

“Whew~ I can breathe a little easier now. It’s been a very long two years.”

“Your father served in the military for 18 years. Compared to him, you are nothing.”

“Wow~ Now that I think about it, that makes sense. How did my father endure that boring military life?”

“He endured because he wanted to. Your father endured and endured until he became an army general.”

Park Jeong’s uncle was a person who applied to the Japanese Military Academy on his own initiative to become successful.

Thanks to this, he was promoted to the rank of Major in the Japanese Kwantung Army, and based on that career, he was promoted to Colonel – Major General – Lieutenant General – General in the Republic of Korea Army.

Of course, there were ups and downs along the way.

In Manchuria, he was captured by the Soviet Army and almost killed, and in his own country he was ridiculed as a pro-Japanese officer.

But military life was worth overcoming all of that, and he became a hero who led the Songho War to victory, and on that basis, he rose to become the Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea.

As the saying goes, a thirsty man digs a well. Even the difficult military life is possible if you have a goal.

While ordinary soldiers just wish the two years would pass quickly, officers are still running forward looking ahead for promotion.

My half-brother didn’t use the military as a means of advancement, so he has this attitude, but just having served in the military was a great merit.

How many of the current members of the National Assembly have served in the military?

Among the 10 candidates running in this general election, 6 have not yet completed their military service. I also wonder how they only select such people to run for office.

But the guy has proudly completed his military service, and his father is a former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea and an Army Marshal, and his older brother is even a head of state.

If a young man like this wanted to, couldn’t he wear the National Assembly badge?

In addition, he takes after his father and is very smart.

I attended Kyungsung University’s Department of Political Science and Diplomacy for three years on a scholarship.

Kyungsung University is a place where the best brains in Korea gather. It is natural for the people to have high expectations for him as he comes from a good family and excels academically.

Is this guy the type of person who can succeed me and rule the Republic of Korea?

Honestly, I was looking forward to it too.

“Have you ever thought about going into politics? If you have the sense of responsibility and desire to think about your country, I can support you.”

“My mother will be in an uproar if she hears that.”

“Why, Mother?”

“Your father keeps telling me that he is terminally ill with political illness. I actually think so too. When I see him struggling to seize power like that… I also think that I shouldn’t be like that.”

“Who told you to take power? I am asking you now whether you have a sense of responsibility for your country.”

He’s a smart guy, so he’ll be able to earn his own living from now on.

But, can’t you use that good head for the country?

However, intelligence and responsibility are separate issues. Even if you are intelligent, if you have no sense of responsibility, you become a monster who only seeks power.

I know that, so I’m looking for a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty. This guy is a good person to entrust the country to, as long as he has a sense of responsibility.

Of course, there is still a lot to learn before that happens, which is why I recommended successor training early on.

The final decision is his,

The guy hesitated for a moment and then carefully opened his mouth.

“I’m not sure yet. I think I need to think about it.”

“Yeah, you just got discharged from the military, so you need some time to gather your thoughts.”

So I sent the guy back.

A prince born into the British royal family must accept his fate, but this guy is in a position to choose his future path.

He was not forced to take responsibility for running the country.

***

“Mom, my uncle told me to take lessons to become his successor. What should I do?”

“Ask your father about politics.”

“Dad is the type of person who will tell you to do something no matter what. You should discuss this with Mom.”

This is Daedeok-gun, Park Myeong-ui is hanging on to his mother.

My mother, who talks about political illness whenever she gets a chance, is not completely uninterested. She has even clicked her tongue while watching TV, and more than anything, her husband has been prime minister three times, so how could she completely turn her back on politics?

If you’re going to do politics, do it properly.

He was constantly nagging me to just give up if I wanted to fight for power like my father did.

“If you want to learn politics, learn from your uncle. Don’t ask your father.”

“Haha~ I understand. Then you’ll allow me to learn from Uncle?”

Mrs. Kim Ho-nam neither confirmed nor denied.

If you plant beans, beans will grow, if you plant red beans, red beans will grow. He is the seed of a nobleman who has lived only for power. Will he run the country with a sense of responsibility?

Still, there is room for improvement if taught by the head of state, so I left it to him to do as he pleased.
