I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 67

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (67)
“Are you going to give up on Hungary too?”
“We have no choice. Instead, we must deliver democracy to Vietnam.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I exchanged views with the US and UK ambassadors to Korea.
The communist takeover of China was prevented, but in the meantime, the Soviet Union communized Poland, and the revolution that took place in Poland spread to Hungary.
Nationalists who escaped from Poland fled to Hungary, where a nationalist revolution broke out, and the Soviet Union sent troops to suppress it.
If Hungary falls, then Mongolia,
The Soviet Union’s expansionism did not slow down because the Chinese invasion was stopped.
So, in this situation, what choice should the US-UK-ROK allied forces make?
The Allied forces turned their attention to Vietnam.
In Vietnam, too, communism and liberal democracy are currently at odds. When Britain granted independence to Vietnam, it required a general election and the establishment of an independent government.
The problem is that the Communist Party that fought for independence from France is popular in Vietnam, and if the general election is held as is, there is a risk that Vietnam will become communist.
So the US and UK wanted South Vietnam to hold its own elections and become independent like the Korean Peninsula, but now things have changed.
Having prevented the communist takeover of China, the Vietnamese Communist Party was surrounded by the liberal camp, and with the Soviet Union invading Poland and Hungary, the liberal camp could no longer remain silent.
The goal of the US and UK was to establish a democratic government in Vietnam and to exert influence over Southeast Asia, so that the Soviet Union would not be able to leave the continent.
A literal encirclement operation aimed at the Soviet Union,
The US and UK are further considering establishing D8 (Democracy 8).
As the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union intensified, the UN was reduced to a meaningless organization. Rather than maintaining a UN that was nothing but a facade, wouldn’t it be better to build a new front to surround the Soviet Union?
The idea of the US-UK was to first include the US-UK-Canada-Korea-Japan in D8 and later add Vietnam-Israel-Aleph.
The problem is that Korea took Shanghai, Aleph’s base, as spoils of war.
If Korea gains independence from Aleph, what will Britain and the United States give it?
Britain took Chongqing, the US took Wuhan and Nanjing, but Korea is giving up Shanghai and establishing an independent nation there?
That doesn’t make any sense either.
However, if Britain and the United States guarantee Korea’s interests, there is nothing they cannot do; the United States made an offer they could not refuse.
“We will provide unlimited oil to Korea in the future.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, how about Korea joining AAPA?”
AAPA is an abbreviation for Anglo-American Petroleum Agreement, or in short, the Anglo-American Petroleum Agreement.
Why did Britain and the United States sign this treaty after World War II?
Britain had long had influence in the Middle East, but lost it when World War II broke out, and suffered a setback when the Soviet Union advanced into the Middle East.
Developing the Middle East requires a lot of investment, but Britain’s power is not what it used to be and capital is insufficient.
So Britain tried to involve the United States to share the Middle East together.
As a result, an agreement was reached to share Persian oil fields with Britain, Saudi Arabian oil with the United States, and Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil.
The problem is that this landscape has been shaken recently.
While Britain earned 250 million pounds from Persia, Iran took home only 80 million pounds.
On the other hand, the US has a 5-5 deal with Saudi Arabia, so it is obvious how the Iranian government will view the UK.
The angry Iranian government cut its oil production from 650,000 barrels per day to 20,000 barrels per day, which is why Britain is currently suffering from oil shortages.
“Iran, come on!!”
“Britain is trying to suck your blood!! We must stop it at all costs!!”
The Soviet Union is adding fuel to the fire. Recently, the Soviet Union has been spreading rumors that Britain is exploiting Iran.
In this situation, what choice should the Allied Forces make?
Following Poland and Hungary, communism is spreading to Iran, and if we can’t stop it, things will get complicated.
We need to send troops to Vietnam and the British fleet needs to be active at sea in the future, but what if there is a shortage of oil and the fleet cannot move?
So the US decided to crack down on the Middle East by dragging in South Korea as well.
Kuwait, a neutral zone, has decided to establish an oil company in Iraq and increase oil production, which will allow Korea to receive a stable supply of oil.
From Korea’s perspective, it is about creating economic territory.
There is nothing to lose by giving up Shanghai as the US and UK suggest.
No, rather a 1+1 gain,
A significant number of Shanghai Jews have fled to Korea, and they will continue to exert a powerful influence in Shanghai.
Korea was in a position where it would have nothing to lose even if Aleph became independent, so Korea joined hands with the United States and Britain and began the task of taking control of Middle Eastern oil.
But would this alone be enough to stop Soviet communism?
I proposed a bigger business to the US-UK.
“Are you going to leave Venezuela alone?”
“Venezuela?”
“Yes, I think democracy should be delivered not only to Vietnam but also to Venezuela.”
In 1945, Venezuela’s leftists overthrew the military and established communism.
From here, the gates of hell begin. In a world where anyone with power can overthrow the government, what could they not do?
A civil war broke out between civilians and the military, and Venezuela’s economy collapsed.
What is needed here is support from the liberal camp,
If Venezuela were democratized, liberal democracies would control 80% of global oil production.
From the Soviet Union’s perspective, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
The Soviet Union also makes a lot of money by selling oil, so if the liberal democratic camp stabilizes oil prices, it will suffer huge losses.
It would be unpleasant for the Middle East to be manipulated by Western powers, but if Venezuela is also taken over, it would be game over.
The Soviet Union should have just stayed quiet, but it was for nothing that it communized Poland and Hungary, thereby encouraging solidarity within the Western Bloc.
By taking advantage of this, Korea can reap huge profits. If it sets foot in the Kuwait oil fields and advances to Venezuela, its resource problems can be solved.
If we continue to import food from the United States and Korea only has to worry about industrialization, will we not be able to catch up with the industrial power of the Soviet Union within the next 20 years?
As the US delivered democracy to Venezuela, the Soviet Union was checkmated.

“Venezuela is reforming and opening up?!!”
“Yes, isn’t something wrong with this?”
“Whew~ I didn’t know Americans would do this… .”
This is the Soviet Union,
Khryushov was sweating cold sweat at the actions of the liberal democratic camp.
Poland – Hungary has been secretly taking over, and now the liberal democratic camp is openly pressuring the Soviet Union.
In addition, Britain recently signed a new deal with Iran, dividing the revenue structure 60:40.
Iran cannot give up Britain either. It relies entirely on British companies for crude oil technology and production. If Britain leaves, how will Iran survive?
Despite the Soviet Union’s attempts to sow discord, Iran-Britain ties remain intact.
Adding insult to injury, a Korean oil company has entered the Kuwait-Iraq oilfields.
The liberal democratic camp, which is doing a good job of covering the Middle East, has even taken a stab at Venezuela.
With 80% of the world’s oil production tilted toward one side, the Soviet Union’s vast resources were no longer competitive.
At best, it will be consumed within communism, and this is not something to laugh about.
The liberal democratic camp is spreading beyond China, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and even to South America, by stirring up a hornet’s nest for no reason.
How do we stop this?
Khrushchev, growing impatient, protested to the United States.
“Hey, America, didn’t Vietnam agree to hold general elections in the North and South and establish a unified government? Then why is South Vietnam holding its own elections?”
“Didn’t the Korean peninsula get divided like that? Who interfered with the general elections between the North and South?”
But the United States paid no attention to the Soviet Union’s protests.
Why were North and South Korea divided? The United States originally intended to establish a unified government on the Korean Peninsula through general elections in the South and the North.
The problem is that the Soviet Union rejected this.
They tried to hold a general election based on population ratio, but at the time, North Korea’s population was smaller than South Korea’s, so it was obviously disadvantageous to the Soviet Union.
So, does the Soviet Union, which divided the Korean peninsula in half, now have the right to criticize the general elections in South Vietnam?
The Korean government also openly took the side of the United States.
[Due to the Soviet Union’s non-cooperation, the UN Temporary Commission on Korea was expelled without even entering North Korea. In the end, the UN had no choice but to choose the alternative of holding elections in areas accessible to the commission and establishing an independent state in South Korea alone, which led to the division of Korea. If the general election in South Vietnam alone was illegal, the Soviet Union will have to ask history for the answer.]
The official position of the Korean government that made the Soviet Union dumbfounded,
If there had been no interference from the Soviet Union at the time, the South Korean government would have been able to establish a unified government by prioritizing the population.
What will the Soviet Union, which interfered with that, say now?
As scheduled, general elections were held only in South Vietnam, and Vietnam was divided in half.
But unification is a matter of time,
With the communist takeover of mainland China abolished, the Vietnamese Communist Party was completely isolated.
The Soviet Union wanted to provide support but had no means of doing so, while the United States provided massive aid and democracy to South Vietnam.
If South Vietnam develops its economy like Korea and pushes ahead with force, the Vietnamese Communist Party will inevitably be destroyed.
The Soviet Union, growing more desperate, decided to provide economic aid to North Korea.
Of the 400 million rubles that were supposed to be paid to Kim Il-sung, 230 million rubles were not paid.
Thanks to Soviet support, Kim Il-sung ousted Pak Hon-yong and took complete control of the North Korean government.
***
“Comrade!! You must evade now!!”
“Where are you running away to?!! The Soviet Union abandoned me!! I chose Kim Il-sung!! How could the Soviet Union do this to me?!!”
This is North Korea, and Pak Hon-yong is heartbroken by the Soviet Union’s betrayal.
A life dedicated to the spread of communism, how can it be abandoned like this?
It wasn’t like this during the Stalin era, but the Soviet Union deteriorated when Khrushchev came to power. Park Han-young cursed Khrushchev.
“That guy ruined everything!! If it weren’t for that guy, communism would have been realized all over the world!! Just wait and see!! I’ll set communism right again!!”
“That’s something you have to live with!! You have to run away quickly!!”
“Sigh~!! Just wait and see!! I’ll be back someday!!”
Park Heon-yeong started his escape with tears in his eyes.
The target is Manchuria, where many ethnic Koreans remain.
Thanks to the Chinese Communist Party’s preferential policies for ethnic minorities, Koreans are exercising their autonomy, and because of the crushing defeat in Shanghai, the Communist Party cannot carelessly touch ethnic minorities.
For Pak Hon-yong, who had been abandoned by the Soviet Union and slapped in the face by Kim Il-sung, this was the land of last opportunity, but life there was not easy.
“It’s all the Communists’ fault!!”
“We dragged 3 million young men into battle and couldn’t win!! What the heck is this?!!”
“I supported the Communist Party because of the problem of making a living, but instead I became poorer than before!!”
The discontent of the Joseonjok people has already reached the peak.
Many ethnic Koreans joined the Chinese army to contribute to the Chinese Communist Party’s war for unification, but the results were like this.
Now, there are even rumors going around that the Communist Party is evil.
In this environment, can Park Heon-young rebuild the Communist Party? He fled from South Korea, fled from North Korea, and now he must flee from Manchuria again.
Park Heon-yeong became increasingly exhausted from his long life as a refugee.
“Father, where are we going now?”
“Well… I don’t know… .”
What’s more miserable is that the family is also suffering. How can the head of the household achieve communism when he can’t even support his family?
Even if there was a revolution, he could not allow his family to suffer, so Park Heon-yeong swallowed his pride and asked the Soviet Union for protection.
He said that he would remain in China to continue his revolutionary activities and send his family to the Soviet Union for refuge, but the Soviet Union turned its back on Pak Hon-yong, who had become useless.
Does that mean we should rely on the Chinese Communist Party?
Now in a position where he truly had nowhere to go, Park Heon-yeong asked for protection from the country he had ignored until the end.
