I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 77

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (77)
“It was hard and painful because there was no country. But now that we have a country, we have to work hard and contribute to the country.”
= It was so hard and painful because we didn’t have a country. But now that we have a country, everyone should work hard and contribute to the country.
This is California, USA.
A woman gave a speech to a group of students.
Her true identity is Ahn Su-san, the daughter of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho. Ahn Su-san served as a U.S. Navy officer from 1942 to 1946 and carried out the important mission of deciphering enemy codes.
After the Pacific War, he became the head (department head) of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), leading about 300 Russian experts.
So did Ansusan fight for America?
He enlisted in the Navy to carry out his father’s will to fight against Japan. He endured it even though he was excluded from work because he was Asian and even received complaints from a single subordinate.
If you want to fight against the Japanese, you have no choice but to become a member of the American military.
In this way, Ansusan fought in the war as a U.S. soldier without a country and contributed to the independence of his country.
I was born a citizen without a country and had a very difficult time, but that is now a thing of the past, and now a country for the Korean people has been born.
An Su-san stands here in the hope that Korean students who studied in the United States will make great contributions to their country in the future.
Who can fathom that determination?
The students gathered in one place listened intently to the following words.
“My father told me this while he was alive. ‘Without a country, I have no home, and I cannot enjoy human rights as a human being. How can I live comfortably in America when 20 million of my compatriots are suffering from Japanese oppression?’
My father fought against the Japanese until the end and died in prison in 1938.
But I don’t think that was a meaningless death. After all, the Korean people have regained their country. If the Korean people fought to regain the country they lost for the past 36 years, then from now on, they must fight to protect the country. Now, that role is yours.”
The students nodded.
I don’t know much about Korea because I was born and raised in America, but I at least have it in my heart that Korea is my homeland.
Because I have experienced the pain of being discriminated against in the United States for being Asian, fortunately, there is now a Korean government that represents the position of Korean Americans.
Why did the US Congress talk about guaranteeing citizenship to Koreans?
This is something that would be unimaginable if there were no government, and even now, the Korean People’s Party is constantly lobbying and putting pressure on the U.S. Congress.
The United States recognizes lobbying as legal if the purpose is clear.
Who can say anything if you lobby so that people can live like human beings?
If Korean Americans gain American citizenship, will that be a victory for the Korean government? Will that fight pay off this time?
A few days later, good news arrived in the Korean community.
It legally prohibited discrimination against Koreans and restored the status of Koreans who had immigrated to the United States before 1924 and were labeled illegal immigrants.
It’s already been 35 years since I came to the United States, and now I’m finally being treated as a citizen under the law. It’s taken such a long time.
200,000 Korean-Americans embracing each other and rejoicing,
Overseas Koreans living abroad confirmed through newspapers how big a role the Korean government played in this incident.
[The Korean People’s Party lobbied the U.S. Immigration Service for $2.5 million to help Koreans gain legal status in the United States. It was also confirmed that 88% of Republican and 82% of Democratic members of the U.S. had contact with Korean government officials.]
The Korean government literally poured all its efforts into the war,
Not only did he spend a lot of money, he also contacted most of the members of the National Assembly.
Even American society is surprised,
We’ve seen many instances of businesspeople lobbying for their own interests, but this is the first time a country has lobbied the United States to this extent for the rights of its citizens.
An incident that showed how much Korea’s status has risen.
Conversely, this incident left black people feeling a great sense of emptiness.
“We don’t have a country… Who will protect our human rights?”
“After all, can human rights be bought with money?”
Black people are united only by their skin color, and there is no country or government to represent them.
So while Korea couldn’t even lobby the US, and while Korea poured $2.5 million into the US, the black community just took to the streets and protested.
This is the sorrow of a nation without a country,
Koreans have suffered in America for less than 50 years.
But aren’t black people in this situation because they have been exploited by American society for almost 200 years and because they don’t have a country?
This incident caused an explosion of discontent among black people,
Some radical groups have resorted to violence to create a black-only nation.
The hatred directed at Asians was still there, and they did not hesitate to make extreme remarks such as, “Koreans bought America with money.”
But wherever you go, there are non-violent people, and Martin Luther King was one of them.
“I know that Korea launched the March 1st Movement to gain independence from Japan. And I know that there were many people like Ahn Chang-ho and Ahn Susan who continued the struggle in the United States. Koreans did not achieve independence overnight, but fought for a long time and achieved the results. I believe that Korea, as a member of the international community, will not turn a blind eye to the discrimination that black people face.”
In short, they are asking the Korean government to resolve the human rights issues of black people.
Black people are Americans, but they don’t have a country, so who should they depend on?
Since we do not have the capacity to lobby the US as much as Korea does, we had no choice but to look for friends to help us. It was natural that Korea, which had won against the US, would catch our eye.

“Martin Luther King is suspected of being a communist.”
“is it so?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I think it would be best not to get involved with that guy.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I developed a strategy toward the United States based on information coming from the United States.
What made America what it is today was militarism and materialism, and Korea also followed that trend and stood tall as one of the world’s great powers.
Since they ruled Shanghai and Taiwan with military force, this is militarism. Since they bought people with money and shook up the American political scene, this is also a materialistic act.
Could a Korea like this be linked to communists?
In fact, Martin Luther King is under FBI investigation for his remarks that “America is militaristic and racist.”
“Materialism is contrary to the Word of God. American society must embrace socialism, which helps neighbors and allows everyone to work on equal terms. This is consistent with the teachings of Jesus.”
Every single word is a provocation to American society.
Ironically, the Soviet Union hates Dr. King.
“Ah~ This kind of guy shouldn’t be walking around like this… .”
“Those who say that American society will be divided if black people take up arms and shoot guns, and who cry out for social integration, are not helping us.”
What the Soviet Union wants is chaos in America,
Wouldn’t it be better for black people to hate America and cause chaos so that the Soviet Union, surrounded by a net, could breathe?
In that respect, Martin Luther King’s nonviolent struggle is not what the Soviet Union wants.
Just by looking at the fact that he mentioned the March 1st Movement in Korea, can’t you get a rough idea of what kind of ideology he has?
And if America wants black people to act nonviolently, then I have no reason to be hostile to Dr. King.
Of course, since he is a person under investigation by the FBI, we should keep some distance, and we should not cross the line more than necessary.
“I can’t completely ignore it, so I have to show my sincerity. If I ignore this, I’ll be the only one who gets killed. I’m also worried about the safety of Korean Americans…”
“What are you going to do?”
“You just have to make it sound plausible. Nothing can be solved with violence. Even the US will accept this.”
I instructed the Department of State to publish an article defending Dr. King.
It was originally a long article of more than four pages, but it was shortened to one page because it felt too long to include in the article.
[It is significant that Pastor King mentioned the March 1st Movement.
Before the Manse Movement, world opinion believed that Koreans had no great dissatisfaction with Japanese colonial rule. And the world ridiculed Korea for having lost its country because of its incompetence.
However, Korea did not give in and stood up to Japanese violence, and because the protests were peaceful, the atrocities of Japan were able to be highlighted even more.
The Korean government also recognizes that black people are discriminated against in the United States. However, black people have nothing to gain from violence. For now, the best solution is to find a complete solution with the U.S. government.
The Korean government supports Rev. King’s wishes.]
In short, it means to stay quiet and not cause trouble.
Although it was a formally published article, this incident nonetheless brought King to the attention of American public opinion.
There are black people who raise guns and make a fuss about independence, but compared to them, wasn’t Dr. King a realistic and pacifist leader?
We can’t build a black nation in our backyard, and in any case, black people have no choice but to live as part of the United States.
Violent protests achieve nothing.
Koreans have been promised status in America, so why can’t blacks someday be promised the same?
After obtaining a statement of support from South Korea, King distanced himself from the extremists and continued negotiations with the United States.
The problem was that this was seen as an act of betrayal by the extremists, who turned the trigger on Dr. King.
As a result, the civil rights movement was divided, and the prestige of blacks in American society fell further.
So I can just giggle behind their back?
That’s just a real villain, the Korean government even lobbied the FBI.
“If Dr. King dies, the radicals will be even more powerful. And that’s what the Soviets want. Isn’t it because of Dr. King that many blacks support nonviolence?”
“Well… that makes sense.”
“At times like these, the U.S. government must protect Dr. King. He is a man who is needed to maintain order in America.”
The FBI accepted Korea’s lobbying.
Thanks to this, Pastor King was released from prison after being cleared of the communist charges, and this incident led black non-violent forces to support Korea even more.
Who released Pastor King, even though he didn’t help him directly?
Pastor King also expressed gratitude for Korea’s support and consideration.
If this is the case, how much more painful it must be for the Soviet Union and South Korea to have lobbied the United States within the legal framework and stabilized society.
If you think that the fight against communism is over now that the Cold War has fizzled out, you are mistaken. South Korea has continued to cooperate with the United States and maintain checks and balances.
‘Now we can control America too.’
The Soviet Union must have felt something from this incident as well.
Now, Korea is not a puppet of the United States, but a country that can play a leading role. Even if the Soviet Union talked about being a puppet of the United States, this is the reality.
Originally, a timid dog would bark loudly,
Whether the Soviet Union barked or not, ties with the United States remained strong.
