I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 68

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (68)

“Sato Yoshimune died on July 23.”

“Okay, whose turn is next?”

This is Japan, and suspicious men are conversing.

The identity is that of an employee of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency.

South Korea has recently been actively conducting espionage activities in Japan.

Their main purpose is to gather information, but sometimes they are also given the task of assassinating specific individuals, most recently assassinating a man named Sato Yoshimune.

Sato Yoshimune is an elite who got a job at a Japanese pharmaceutical company.

If you are going to get a job at a pharmaceutical company, you will likely have knowledge of chemical manufacturing methods or related technologies.

The Korean government, which took over a major Japanese company, naturally recruited these engineers.

Even if they had a dirty past, if they were talented enough to contribute to industrial development, they were promoted without any regard to their past.

The problem is that there is a risk that technicians will hit Korea in the back of the head, and there are some Japanese intellectuals who are unhappy about being used by Korea.

However, Korea is trying to coax and appease them to make the most of them.

But if you refuse, you will be given a proper price.

“That guy is Sato Yoshimune!!”

“This guy conducted biological experiments on ordinary people!!”

Sato Yoshimune was persecuted in Japan.

The office worker employed at a pharmaceutical company is only his superficial identity; in reality, he is a war criminal who conducted numerous chemical experiments under the direction of the Japanese.

As the war intensified, Japan concentrated its production of morphine and other drugs.

Wouldn’t they have synthesized chemicals during that process?

Poison gas was used as a basic tool, and live experiments were also conducted. Prisoners, mostly Koreans, were mobilized for clinical trials, but sometimes Japanese civilians were also used as an exception.

Although he was trash, he was a person with relevant technology. The Korean government tried to persuade Sato Yoshimune to join a pharmaceutical company, but he chose to run away.

Just dispose of useless tools,

As soon as the President’s directive was given, the CIA doggedly pursued the target.

Recently, I’ve been using the alias Inama Baisetsu, but would that kind of identity laundering work?

The Central Intelligence Agency tracked down the target to the end and spread his identity to the world, leaving him with no place to set foot in Japan.

“You vile bastard!! Playing with people’s lives?!!”

“People like you deserve to die!!”

The same Japanese people also drove Sato Yoshimune crazy.

Now, in a country like Japan where economic development is impossible without Korea, who would defend a lunatic who conducted clinical trials on Koreans?

Everyone pointed fingers at him and told him to leave the village, and Sato Yoshimune, who was so isolated, was found murdered in a village on the outskirts.

A death that no one cares about,

When the Korean government came out like this, Japanese engineers broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Are you… really going to kill me?’

‘Haa~ I guess I can never escape.’

‘Who would have thought that we, Japanese, would work for the development of Korea!!’

What greater humiliation could there be for the arrogant elite than using the knowledge they learned for the Japanese Empire to help develop Korea?

But the truth is that if they do not provide technology to Korea, they will be abandoned, so Japanese technicians swallowed their pride and surrendered to Korea.

This is the secret to Korea’s rapid growth in just 10 years after independence.

Japan, swept up in the storm of imperialism, absorbed the technological prowess that had been built up by grinding out people.

So is Korea doing this to become a second Japanese Empire?

The CIA agents were already fully aware of the President’s intentions.

[I failed to get a research position in Japan, so I returned to colonial Korea and got a job as a secondary school teacher. The quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics I had learned in Japan were all scattered from my mind in about a year.]

What kind of lives did Korean intellectuals live during the colonial era?

Do you think that a Korean with one of the highest academic zeal in the world would have studied sloppily in Japan?

They went to Japan, earned degrees, and were exposed to cutting-edge fields of study such as quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, but they had no opportunity to pursue their dreams.

The reality is that everyone returns to Joseon and teaches children at school, so it is impossible for Joseon-born geniuses to emerge.

After liberation, the great powers began to invest competitively in science and technology.

The United States also employed a large number of former Nazi war criminals to gain an advantage over the Soviet Union, and eventually achieved tremendous scientific progress.

But what about Korea? Even if they want to develop science, there is no way to do it.

Most of the geniuses who studied abroad in Japan lost their talents before they could even demonstrate them, so aren’t you trying to steal what’s Japanese?

It may seem like a thief’s mindset, but this is the easiest way.

And Japan is now a place where it is difficult for scientists to achieve great things.

With major Japanese companies being acquired by Korea, where are the engineers going to go to carry out their work? And since they can’t train the military, military-related engineers now have no choice but to cooperate with Korea.

Then are you going to just quietly be used and turn your back on Korea?

Rather than going to the enemy country and spreading that knowledge, it is best to eliminate it.

The Korean government favored scientists and engineers, but it certainly punished those who were uncooperative.

And by gathering Japanese technicians, they established a comprehensive science university, and the students who received education there were Koreans.

Korea was literally absorbing everything from Japan, and the Central Intelligence Agency traveled back and forth between Korea and Japan to monitor technicians and even control security in Japan.

If there is a Japanese person who speaks negatively about Korea, they are immediately designated as a person to watch out for. Can you guess what their end will be?

Something has been picked up on the radar of the Central Intelligence Agency, which is doing such a terrifying thing.

“Park Heon-yeong requested surrender.”

“Who asked for surrender?”

“Pak Hon-yong. He is the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Korea.”

“Heh, where did that red bastard dare to crawl in?”

Kim Hak-young, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, snorted.

We have already collected information that Pak Hon-yong, having lost the power struggle, left North Korea and moved to Manchuria.

He probably went through China and requested asylum at the Korean embassy in Japan, but Park Heon-yeong has already been branded a first-class criminal.

It is also possible to kill them immediately upon discovery.

Kim Hak-young first began to confirm the facts through the Korean Embassy in Japan.

“Is it true that Park Heon-yeong requested to defect to Korea?”

“No. To be exact, I requested protection for my family.”

“So, where is Park Heon-yeong now?”

“That was… the last time it was captured in Shanghai Pudong.”

Kim Hak-young, who confirmed the criminal’s whereabouts, dispatched informants to Shanghai.

The opponent was a man who once led a civil war in South Korea, and orders were given to secure his safety and deal with him immediately upon discovery.

“Your Majesty, this time we have synthesized a new substance.”

“Really? Let’s see.”

Today, as I continued my daily routine, I had an interview with scientists and engineers.

Korea has been investing in science and technology for a long time, and the pharmaceutical industry is one of them. Domestic pharmaceutical production increased by 270% compared to the previous year.

Korea, which at best exported herbal medicines, has now become a country that synthesizes chemical substances.

It is no coincidence that the Allied Forces were supplied with large quantities of morphine and methamphetamine during the last Shanghai War.

The ultimate goal is to produce more medicines based on that, and are we going to ignore the fact that Japanese scientists are leading this industry?

If you’re going to handle things so emotionally, you’d be better off as an agitator than as president.

It is the leader’s role to consider what is beneficial to the country, and in the process, he even killed uncooperative scientists as an example.

‘Just follow me, it’ll benefit you too, right?’

Can the Japanese government afford to invest $750 million in pharmaceutical technology right now?

All scientists need is support to turn their knowledge into reality, and Korea has become a country where that is possible.

So what can scientists do when they are struggling in front of me and running away from my grasp?

You’re just going to be a teacher at school like the Koreans during the colonial era. Did you study so hard in college just to be an elementary school teacher?

Now Japanese scientists have become loyal dogs working for Korea.

This trend should continue in the future, the chief secretary whispered in my ear while I was talking to the scientists.

“Your Majesty, I have something to say….”

“What’s going on?”

“I hope you can overcome those around you.”

I sent the scientists out for now.

The sound of the chief secretary’s breathing tickled my ears, wondering what was going on and why they were maintaining security like this.

“Park Heon-yeong was arrested in Shanghai.”

“Park Heon-yeong? Did you really catch him?”

“Yes, Director Kim Hak-young of the Central Intelligence Agency has requested that we make a decision.”

I was lost in thought for a moment.

That bastard Park Heon-yeong is a man who would not be satisfied even if he were torn to pieces. He is a traitor who not only tried to harm my father, but also tried to communize the Korean peninsula.

I would like to execute him in front of the people as an example, but that would be too provocative, and besides, Park Heon-yeong had already expressed his intention to defect to the Korean embassy in Japan.

Isn’t it a bit much to kill someone who surrenders?

My rule is to kill those who run away, but not those who surrender. After much deliberation, I gave the order.

“Tell them to send me back to Korea.”

“Aren’t you going to kill me?”

“Before that, I have something to say to that guy. Bring him before me right now.”

“All right.”

The Central Intelligence Agency brought Park Hon-yong to Korea.

These are the pitiful words of a man in power who once commanded 200,000 communist party members, greeting a traitor who was brought in like a pig.

“Hello, Comrade Park Heon-yeong… What is going on?”

“Wh… What are you saying?”

“Didn’t you say you would prepare a seat for me in Pyongyang? But I ended up living in China in such a miserable state… What happened to my seat? How could someone who can’t even take care of his own seat say he would prepare a seat for someone else?”

Park Heon-yeong was unable to continue speaking.

He was so confident that he would oust Kim Il-sung and take control of North Korea, but he turned out to be just a rascal rolling around on the streets.

Now I don’t feel like it’s worth killing.

Scientists run the risk of spreading their knowledge to other countries, but what’s the point of killing these guys to silence them?

You’ve now made it clear that you’re a useless person.

“I won’t kill you. What would I gain by killing you, who was abandoned even by the Soviet Union?”

“… … … .”

Park Heon-yeong couldn’t say anything.

Have you come to the realization that you are no longer worth killing?

So Park Heon-yeong was released, but Kim Hak-yeong, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, had no intention of releasing the prisoner.

“Your Majesty, why are you keeping Park Heon-yeong alive?”

“He’s not worth killing anymore. He’s been abandoned by the Soviet Union. What good would I gain by killing him?”

“Ha… But that guy is a traitor who tried to start a civil war. If you don’t make an example of him… .”

“That’s my decision. You’re the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, so you follow my orders.”

Kim Hak-young said nothing.

This friend has a history of pointing out that I was the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of Kim Gu.

It’s true that I was branded by my uncle because of that. Why should I employ a dog that betrayed its owner? However, this friend is still a useful talent to me, and if necessary, I shouldn’t just throw him away.

A dictator who treats people carelessly will eventually get stabbed in the back.

Of course, if this guy were to break free of my control and wield power as he pleased, it would be a different story.

Fortunately, Kim Hak-young, who is now under my control, has not caused any harm to Park Heon-young.

This meant that I had good control over the CIA, and that was enough.
