He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (46)

“What is public opinion?”

“I won’t eat meat anymore.”

“You guys are really funny. Let’s see how long you can keep saying such nonsense.”

This is America, and President MacArthur scoffed at public opinion.

The problem of conservatism vs. progressivism that even the United States is not free from,

Its roots go back to the time when America was under British rule.

Conservatism was centered around royalists who supported Britain, and progressives, who were independentists. So why wasn’t America progressive after independence?

In fact, American liberal progressivism is too opportunistic.

“Hey, we’re taking too much from Britain, wouldn’t it be better to become independent?”

“No, but it is still advantageous to stick to England.”

“Let’s think carefully about which way is better for us, because that’s what’s important.”

American politics is pragmatic at best, opportunistic at worst, and changes its form depending on the situation.

Did progressives really promote the independence movement for freedom?

I just chose which one was more beneficial to me.

After that, the United States expanded its territory westward for its own interests and committed massacres, occupying the area from Mexico to California and Texas.

That’s not all.

Waging war with Spain and occupying the Philippines,

In the process, they massacred 600,000 Filipino natives who refused American rule and eventually colonized the Philippines.

How does this look like a free and progressive country independent from Britain?

“Free the slaves!!”

“That’s ridiculous!! Who would benefit from freeing slaves!!”

“We can’t communicate!! This is war!!”

The American Civil War, America’s first civil war, was an extension of that.

From the perspective of the privileged class, is it beneficial to use slaves? Or is it beneficial to free them?

The war broke out because of differences of opinion between the South and the North. This alone shows that the United States is not just and is only looking out for its own interests.

Would the United States, as a just nation, have advised imperialist nations to give up their colonies?

As imperialist nations created their own bloc economies based on their colonies, America’s foreign exports fell sharply.

There is even an analysis that this was the real reason for the Great Depression in the United States, that is, the United States was urging countries to give up their colonies and engage in free trade.

Wouldn’t that allow the US to do business in many countries and make a profit?

In fact, American companies made over $30 billion in profits in Europe, Latin America, and Africa after World War II, which laid the foundation for America’s later rise to global power.

Now, do you have a rough idea of ​​what conservatism and liberalism in America mean?

From the beginning, there was no justice for them.

Just my own interests come first,

That’s what made America the world’s most powerful nation, but now some weird people are starting to take over, thinking they can make a living doing it.

“Let’s allow abortion!!”

“America, make Hawaii independent!! That land was taken by force!!”

“No to war!! America must reconcile with the Soviet Union!!”

“Liberate Japan!!”

Just a mind-numbing remark,

These people are talking as if they are apostles of justice, but if you look at it that way, conservatives say that you should not eat meat.

“Progressives don’t even know how meat is made. First, the animal has to be killed alive. If you beat it to death, the muscle tissue breaks down and it loses its flavor. So you shock it a little bit, put it in a state of asphyxiation, and then cut off its neck and limbs. That’s what you put in your mouth.”

Meat consumption in the United States has increased dramatically since World War II.

Before, I could barely eat 100 pounds a year, but now it’s skyrocketed to 150 pounds. Who’s to blame for all that?

This is because the large corporations that progressives criticize have been raking in money from overseas and growing the domestic economy to that extent.

But are you saying that big corporations are acting as stooges of imperialism?

Are these guys losing their heads after putting on some fat on their bellies?

Idealists who don’t even know how America got here, America’s history itself is opportunistic, greedy, and imperialistic.

If you’re going to define it that way, why don’t you give California and Texas back to Mexico too?

The Republican Party, which represents conservatism, has disparaged progressives as delusional people with little sense of reality.

“Progressives don’t know politics. They think that if they act justly, the world will become a better place, and that’s stupid. If big business disappears, do you think you’ll have meat on your table? The moment the country gives up its profits, society becomes poor. Progressives are not Americans. They don’t know what the American spirit is.”

It’s a bit extreme, but this is the official position of the Republican Party.

One Republican even said, “South Korea is more American than the leftists.”

“The Korean president is more American than anyone else, and he is more American than Americans. He may not be righteous, but he knows what is best for his country. Isn’t that why businessmen are investing in Korea? I guarantee you that if the left takes power in the United States, Korea will rule the world.”

This remark caused a huge stir in the United States.

If the left takes over the world, America will fall and Korea will rule the world. Isn’t this an insult and personal attack on the left?

The Democrats continued their offensive against the Republicans.

“Would anyone more American than Americans nationalize real estate and implement a social security system?”

“The Korean president embraced leftist forces and unified public opinion in the process of founding the country. That’s why Korea became stable. Conservatives are misunderstanding something.”

An ideological battle with no end in sight,

What path will America take going forward?

President MacArthur and the Republican Party, who dream of re-election, and the progressive forces, who are waging an all-out war to prevent it, war is inevitable, whether we like it or not.

“Let’s go for permanent rule.”

“Let’s do that. If you look at the state of America now, doesn’t the answer become clear?”

“How about we just make Your Majesty the king? Let’s rebuild the dynasty.”

“Well… I wonder if the President will accept that… .”

“Let’s just go with permanent rule. It’s a bit far-fetched until we can rebuild the dynasty.”

This is Korea,

Korean People’s Party officials continued their meeting behind closed doors.

Even in the US and Japan, where people are fighting each other over ideological conflicts, society is now paralyzed due to the disturbance caused by extreme leftist forces.

On the other hand, Korea is very quiet,

To put it positively, society has become stable, but to put it negatively, it has solidified into a dictatorship.

Those who have learned a lot will probably say things like, “No matter what happens, dictatorship is not possible,” but there is no rule that says democracy is always the right answer.

Korea was able to develop to this point because it unified public opinion around the president. Who would dare say that the president’s dictatorship is unfair?

The Korean People’s Party promotes a constitutional monarchy.

Even if that doesn’t work out, we plan to submit a bill to the National Assembly that will serve as the basis for permanent rule.

The question is how the US will perceive this.

If progressive forces take power, there is a great risk that they will look down on Korea’s dictatorship.

Looking at the election results, there would be no harm in pursuing a constitutional monarchy, and Park Jeong-ui, the political director, also chose that option.

“Let’s first look at public opinion on constitutional monarchy through a public opinion poll. If public opinion is positive, let’s move forward immediately after the US presidential election results.”

“I will do that.”

A public opinion poll was conducted under the leadership of the Korean People’s Party.

A large-scale investigation in which the Dong-A Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo, and Kookmin Ilbo all participated.

We asked for the opinions of 6 million voters out of a population of 21 million, and the results were surprising.

[81% in favor of a constitutional monarchy, 16% opposed, and 13% opposed]

Eight out of ten people supported a constitutional monarchy.

Whether it’s a monarchy, a dictatorship, or a democracy, isn’t it enough for the people as long as the economy is doing well?

This is the same logic as slaughtering a cow.

Who would want to eat the meat of a dead animal that has been beaten to death with a club? No, who would give up eating meat for the sake of the cow’s rights?

What’s important is not the rights of cows, but the position of the humans who have to eat them. So far, Korea has effectively cracked down on the small fry that hinder its development.

If universities had been left to their own devices, like in the US and Japan, far-left forces would have emerged from all sides and society would have fallen into chaos.

Would Korea have come to this point if we had left the opposition party alone, making arrogant remarks about everything?

In Korea today, the more pressing issue is not justice, but making a living.

The Korean president has absolute support because he solved that.

Few people would object if the president became king.

***

“Given the current state of affairs, I hope you will ascend to the throne.”

“Prince Ui and the Joseon royal family also agreed. The coronation ceremony should be held as soon as possible….”

“What kind of historical drama are you filming now? Why are you doing something you weren’t asked to do?”

Everyday life rolls on spectacularly today, too.

I sent back the Korean People’s Party officials who were urging me to ascend to the throne.

Honestly, what does that throne mean to me?

I already have control over everything in Korea and am practically a king.

The term of office was also guaranteed to be 30 years, but how many kings of Joseon Dynasty sat on the throne for more than 30 years?

People are supposed to pursue their own interests. With all the chaos happening in America, how will America view me if I ascend to the throne?

Even if the Republicans return to power, it looks like they will ascend to the throne.

No, am I going to be content with being the president of this small country for the rest of my life?

It’s still impossible, but I’ve expanded the scope a bit in my imagination.

‘When I retire as president, I want to go to the United States and start a business. I want to expand the board.’

America is a country that always puts its own interests first.

This is the case now and will not change in the future.

This is why I want to enter the US as a businessman. Just as big corporations dominate the US economy and politics, if I expand my presence in the US as a businessman, I can become a giant that moves the world.

That’s why people shouldn’t stay in one place for too long.

Wouldn’t it be better to be a big shot in America rather than the president of Korea?

If a progressive becomes president, the day will come when Koreans will gain the right to vote in the United States. Progressives who allow abortion have no reason to refuse foreigners the right to vote.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll just gather the progressive forces and change public opinion.

My ambitions have already gone beyond Korea and are aimed at the United States.

If American politicians knew this, they would be shocked, so for now they are just quietly acting as US puppets.

‘The big one will come later. That’s when it’ll be my turn to go out into the world.’

I am Korean, but I pride myself on being more American than anyone else.

So, I guess that’s why people in America say I’m more American than Americans, but the Korean People’s Party, which doesn’t know my true nature, continued to push for my ascension to the throne.

“Your Majesty!! Ascension to the throne is what the people desire and is the will of heaven!!”

“Ah, well, I said that. If you have time to discuss this kind of thing, think about earning a little more money.”

American companies are raking in money in Europe, Asia and Africa, while Korea is just having fun in Shanghai and Japan.

While American companies earned $30 billion (net profit), Korean companies earned only $3.7 billion (net profit).

3.7 billion dollars is not a small amount, but it is a disappointing result.

He gave instructions to further increase sales.
