I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 76

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (76)

“I’ll give you some time, so submit your plan.”

“All right.”

This is the headquarters of the Korean People’s Party.

Park Jeong-ui, the political director, devised a plan using the political funds he received from the president.

The United States has exerted influence on Korea for the past 15 years, so can’t Korea now turn the tables and roast the United States?

Korea received $500 million from the United States in return for its participation in the Shanghai War. It was not something that was given for free; it was something that was decided upon through agreement by U.S. lawmakers.

The problem is that the US is giving and taking.

The Democratic Party, which is especially hostile to Korea, is rushing in foaming at the mouth.

They say that only 200 million out of the 500 million dollars were spent on the military, so isn’t the Korean government free to do whatever it wants with the remaining 300 million dollars?

It’s not like the US even specified what it should be used for, so why are you bringing up the source of its use now?

There is no guarantee that this will not happen again in the future, and Park has concluded that he must lobby the U.S. Congress.

‘You have enough money, Americans, get a taste of Korean money.’

The political funds that the President paid to the Korean People’s Party would be approximately 10 billion won, or roughly 800,000 US dollars.

President MacArthur’s annual pension after retirement is approximately $15,000.

Do you have any idea how much money $800,000 is?

At this rate, it’s not a big deal to give political funds to 50 members of the National Assembly.

The problem is, what benefit does Korea get from throwing money like that?

Park Chung-hee’s only goal is to take control of the U.S. Congress, but he has no specific business plan for what he will do with it.

It is the role of the subordinates to squeeze it out.

Here, one plan caught my eye.

“Director of Political Affairs, wouldn’t it be easier to make Koreans members of the U.S. Congress than to roast American congressmen?”

“What? What does that mean?”

“I think it’s possible. I think it’s worth a try.”

The United States revised its immigration laws in 1924.

Prevented Asians, including Chinese, from obtaining American citizenship.

Furthermore, in order to bring white immigrants into the U.S. Congress, they even implemented a white quota system, thereby legally blocking people of color from entering the U.S. Congress.

However, this law was repealed in 1952.

The Republic of China fought against Japan with the United States and won, so will they oppress the Chinese in the United States?

During this process, the quota system for white immigrants was also abolished.

Then, wouldn’t it be possible for Koreans to enter the US Congress?

The problem is that most Koreans living in the United States are illegal immigrants.

Even Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, who fought for independence in the United States, had to visit the U.S. immigration office several times because of citizenship issues, and several of those visits resulted in deportation orders.

If things are like this, what must it be like for other people?

It is true that Korea-US relations have strengthened, but unless this issue is resolved, it will be impossible for a Korean to enter the US Congress.

What is needed at times like these is the support of the Korean People’s Party.

Park Jeong-ui nodded.

“It’s certainly possible to push a Korean into the U.S. Congress, but will it work?”

“You can’t get full on the first drink. First, we need to lobby the U.S. Congress to help Korean Americans gain recognition in the United States.”

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

This is how the work began.

Korean Central Intelligence Agency agents infiltrated the United States,

Paid $400,000 in bribes to about 50 members of the National Assembly.

“America’s immigration policy is flawed. It should give legal status to illegal immigrants first, not new immigrants.”

“No, is that what you’re saying now? Guarantee legal status for illegal immigrants?”

“Don’t get caught up in the illegality trap. Isn’t it true that Asians have contributed to American society?”

This is the United States Congress,

A defensive battle ensued, with one side firing one shot and the other side firing another.

America is a country built by immigrants, but the problem is that the contributions are concentrated among white people.

The U.S. Congress even introduced a quota system to secure the political interests of white immigrants. Why should Asian workers be discriminated against when they have been working hard in the U.S. all this time?

And considering the contributions that South Korea has made to world peace as an ally of the United States in recent years, isn’t it only natural that the United States recognizes the legal status of Koreans?

But many lawmakers voiced opposition.

“Why should we give them special treatment when we didn’t use them for free?”

“That’s right. Funny Koreans should go back to their homeland now.”

“You call that a lie? They are people who have already established their roots in America. Now you are telling them to go back? If that is the case, shouldn’t all the immigrant white people go back home?”

“Hey!! What are you talking about?!! You have to make sense!!”

“You are the ones talking nonsense!! You want all the funny Koreans to go back to Korea? Then everyone here should go back to Italy – Germany – Ireland!!”

“America is a country of immigrants!! Koreans also have the right to live here legally!!”

It’s literally a total mess,

The issue of human rights for black people, who number 20 million, has not yet been resolved, so is it a priority to recognize the status of Koreans?

A parliament where the roles of the subject and object are reversed,

As the U.S. Congress debated the issue of Koreans staying there, discontent among blacks grew.

“We are Americans and yet we are discriminated against!! And acknowledging Koreans is a priority?!!”

“Solve the black people’s civil rights issues first!! Asians will come next!!”

As the protests intensified, some black people even attacked the residences of Koreans.

They are also victims of racial discrimination, but they are persecuting Asians. In the end, it seems that black people only care about their own position and the rights of Asians are secondary.

If this happens, Asians will have no choice but to unite.

Korean-Chinese-Japanese Asians also led the way with a population of 2 million.

Although the number is small compared to blacks, it is still a significant number, and it is an issue that affects the positions of America’s allies, so it has become difficult for the US Congress to ignore this issue.

“If it’s going to be like this, let’s just fight!! Come on, you niggers!!”

“Are you black people the only Americans?!!”

“We are Americans too!!”

Asian protests are also becoming more organized and growing.

American society was thrown into greater turmoil.

“Are you Sun Myung Moon?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, if we use this guy, we can shake American society to its core.”

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I had a private conversation with my uncle.

Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the Unification Church, has been expanding its influence overseas by sending missionaries to Japan and the United States since the 1950s.

I understand that the Unification Church has been a strong support group, especially for Koreans who are treated as a minority in the United States.

The problem is that the Unification Church is a cult, and if these guys grow in power in the United States, won’t it be a disgrace to Korea?

I pushed the Moon Sun Myung card that my uncle had presented toward me.

“No matter how regrettable our position is, isn’t it a bit much to use a pseudo-religion?”

“Your Majesty, this is an issue that cannot be resolved by any means. Since there is no guarantee that the United States will remain on our side in the future, we should also take this opportunity to take control of American society…”

“No. If this goes wrong, it will be a disgrace to Korea. Don’t mention that person’s name in front of me again.”

I gave an additional 5 billion won in political funds to the Korean People’s Party.

This plan is a large-scale project that will move American society. Can it be done with just 10 billion won?

However, using pseudo-religious forces is crossing the line, so I have decided to take this opportunity to drive the Unification Church out of the United States.

“Isn’t it because Korea has failed to take care of overseas Koreans that these pseudo-religious groups are running wild? That’s why Korea should support them from now on. If we do that, overseas Koreans will also get out of the pseudo-religious groups.”

“Ha… but Your Majesty.”

“Just do as I say in this matter. I told you clearly. Don’t get involved with the cult.”

I didn’t stop there, I instructed the Central Intelligence Agency to investigate where the Unification Church was involved.

‘If we do this wrong, we will be eaten up by the Unification Church.’

I am not an apostle of justice and I did not give such instructions.

I, too, am in a position to receive political funds from businessmen here and there. Do I have the right to criticize the Unification Church?

The problem is that this plan was proactively planned by the Korean government.

Just as all Korean companies and financial institutions are under the control of the Korean government, shouldn’t Korean Americans also be under the control of Korea to exert influence in the U.S. Congress?

But the Unification Church is involved here?

This puts Korean Americans between the Korean government and the Unification Church.

Faced with the choice of “Mom likes it” or “Dad likes it,” will overseas Koreans follow the instructions of the Korean government?

When the chain of command is dispersed, things don’t work out the way they should.

If the Unification Church gains control of the Korean-American community with the support of the Korean government, there is a possibility that the Unification Church will be able to tell the Korean government what to do.

Should we risk that by joining hands with the Unification Church and pushing Koreans into the U.S. Congress?

In that case, it would be better to scrap this plan.

“If it doesn’t work out, just give up. If this becomes known to American society, it will be embarrassing. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes… Your Majesty… .”

Since then, the South Korean government has been doggedly pursuing the Unification Church.

During this process, it was discovered that an American was the head of the Unification Church, and soon after, an even bigger scandal broke out.

A U.S. congressman received $100,000 from the Unification Church, reaching out to U.S. politics ahead of the Korean government.

This plan is turning into a mud fight,

I have instructed the Korean People’s Party to cancel this plan.

In the United States, where so many vested interests are involved and lobbying is fierce, what can Korea gain by getting involved in this dogfight?

After internal discussions, we concluded that it would be better to work with American businesspeople rather than politicians.

As I happen to be running a company called Daehan Transportation, if I wanted to, I could join hands with an American company and establish a distribution network throughout the United States.

I just happened to get information that the Unification Church is interested in the distribution business.

I moved one step ahead of them.

‘To kill cancer cells, you have to cut off their blood vessels. I will cut off your money supply. If I can kill you, it won’t be too late to roast American politicians.’

Starting with Daehan Transportation, 15 Korean companies have entered the U.S. market.

How can you not expand your business when the President of Korea is providing you with funds?

The Unification Church, feeling a sense of crisis as it recruited local Koreans one by one, sent me a letter directly.

[Mr. President, if Korea is to take control of American society, the public and private sectors must join forces. Why are you persecuting us like this? Director Park Jeong-ui of the Political Bureau also said that he wants us to join forces. Please join hands with us even now. We will follow your will from now on.]

“Burn this.”

“All right.”

I threw the letter that Sun Myung Moon sent into the fire.

On the topic of the leader of a cult, who are you negotiating with now?

They insist on public-private cooperation as if it were something, but this is the opportunity to correct their bad habits.
