Republic of Korea in Yeokcheon - Chapter 101

#101. Shouldn’t you have done better?
No matter what anyone says, the first great power is the United States.
It was truly a time when America’s power was at its peak.
It was the United States that drove out the Axis powers on both the European and Pacific fronts of World War II, and the other Allied powers actually fought with American weapons.
And after the war, both the Axis and Allied powers were all dependent on support from the United States.
So, based on his great power, Roosevelt adopted a system in which the powerful had more shares.
If the world were operating normally, it would be impossible to tolerate such a system, but this was a time when it was no exaggeration to say that most of the victorious countries, as well as the defeated countries Germany and Japan, depended on the United States to make a living, and Roosevelt decided to actively take advantage of that. It was done.
Don’t you listen?
Then, all you had to do was subtly and using diplomatic rhetoric to persuade, but when that didn’t work, all you had to do was send a roll of film to a hostile country.
A video of an atomic bomb exploding in Tokyo Bay.
At least the United States is currently the only officially known state to have an atomic bomb.
The other country had no choice but to be shocked, and then everything was okay.
Well, that’s what I’m saying, but in reality, that wouldn’t have happened.
Moreover, since Britain, the two pillars of the victorious nation, actively supported it, other countries had no choice but to follow suit.
In this way, the countries were brought in, and in fact, the US, UK, and South Korean leaders notified them of the shares that had been secretly decided through a formal consultation process.
Officially, the criteria for determining each country’s share were GDP and contribution to World War II, with population, territory, and level of science and technology being slightly reflected in that, but it was inevitable that the United States would have a lot to do with it.
So the US stake was determined to be a whopping 30%.
One country accounts for 30% of the world.
But still, no one could protest.
This is a world where the United States controls the world.
There was nothing to say even if they took 40%, so it was a situation where they should have been grateful that they only took 30%.
Of course, the initial number of member countries is only about 60, which is slightly more than the original number, and as more countries join, shares must be given as if capital increase in stocks, so it will be diluted over time.
In addition, complaints were alleviated by assessing the country’s level of development and adjusting it every 10 years.
Next is the UK.
Although the country was greatly damaged by war, England is still England.
Even in terms of ranking as a victorious country, it is considered the best country other than the United States.
Therefore, it received a high score in contribution and took 15%, half of the United States.
Next was the Soviet Union.
Although the Soviet Union was kicked out of the Allied Powers and lost a significant portion of its territory from Ukraine to Belarus, contrary to its original history, its power still remained.
So what I received was 10%.
If assessed accurately, it should have received more, but since neither the United States nor Britain wanted the Soviet Union to take more than 10% of the shares, it became 10%.
Naturally, the Soviet Union objected, but it had to be threatened to think of Tokyo.
Next was France, which took 6%, followed closely by South Korea, which was recognized as the representative of East Asia and took 4%.
In fact, it could have been taken more thanks to Roosevelt’s consideration, but it was decided to be satisfied with just 4%.
Other countries would be dissatisfied with taking 4%, but there was no need to receive criticism for taking more unnecessarily.
It was also important that Lee Kang-cheol and the South Korean government did not have very high expectations from the UN in the first place.
The problem was the Republic of China.
Like Korea, a 4% dividend was paid, but there was great dissatisfaction.
In particular, they were screaming about how they could have the same stake as that small country, but U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall told them to raise their objections after the civil war was over and that if they continued to complain, he would not provide them with arms support or loans. I put it.
In the end, I had no choice but to shut up, but I awkwardly redirected my arrow towards Korea and was scolding Kim Gyu-sik throughout the meeting, but was caught by Marshall and had to listen to what he said.
In addition, South America’s leading players, Brazil and Argentina, India, which will soon become independent, Australia, Canada, and Turkey, all shared an appropriate amount of shares.
It was right for Brazil and Argentina to take more considering their economic size and status in South America, but they did not contribute much to the war, so they could not take a large share.
At the end of the noisy general meeting, a party was held hosted by U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall, and Kim Kyu-sik also attended and eagerly welcomed representatives from various countries visiting the Republic of Korea, which has emerged as an emerging power.
But suddenly a dissatisfied voice reached his ears.
“Hey, Teacher Kim! “Let me see.”
It was He Yingqin, representative of China.
“CEO Heo, I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll see you later. “You’re talking to other people right now, right?”
“Is this really going to continue like this? her! “They say a frog can’t remember its time as a tadpole, but that’s exactly it.”
“What do you mean?”
“It was just yesterday that Mr. Kim came to me and bowed his head, but how dare you ignore me?”
“Huh! what are you saying… … .”
“Your words are harsh! “Minister Kim Gyu-sik is the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the level of Deputy Prime Minister in our Republic of Korea!”
Kim Gyu-sik was just dumbfounded by He Ying-chin’s harsh words, but Park Jae-seung, who was next to him, got angry and came forward.
I couldn’t sit still while my superiors were being insulted.
“What are you? “Where are you interfering when adults are talking?”
“hmm? What does this mean? “Doesn’t China view diplomacy based on age?”
“what?”
“Tsk tsk! This is why we have not been able to subdue the Communist Party with that many troops… … .”
“No, where did this happen…” … .”
“Stop it, CEO Heo. Director Park, you too, stop.”
“Yes, Minister. “I apologize.”
“Please wait. “Let’s ask for their understanding and talk.”
Kim Gyu-sik asked for understanding from the representatives of other countries who were present and took He Ying-qin to a corner of the party hall.
“So, what are you trying to say? “I guess you’re not the kind of person who would do this just to humiliate me by bringing up old things, right?”
“Why are you avoiding me? “How many times did I ask to see you separately?”
“I declined because I had nothing to talk about when we met. And I didn’t want to meet him because I thought he would get emotional like this. I can tolerate it if Mr. Heo insults me or Kim Gyu-sik about the past, but I am currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs representing the Republic of Korea, so please do not speak carelessly. “If you keep provoking me, it won’t bring any good to your country, right?”
“… … .”
He Yingqin had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
As Kim Kyu-sik said, there was nothing good for the Republic of China by provoking Kim Kyu-sik, who is at the core of the Republic of Korea.
Especially in a situation where there is a fierce civil war like now, it would be a disaster if even if you were to hold a grudge and decide to support the Communist Party.
“Whoa! I was mean a little while ago. “I apologize.”
“That’s enough. I forget. “What on earth do you want to say to me?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
“Am I some kind of fortune teller? “To know in advance what others say that they haven’t even said?”
“Your country’s attitude, attitude!”
“Attitude?”
“We, the Republic of China, are seriously concerned about your return. At first, why not hand over our people in Manchuria to the Communists? … .”
“Isn’t that the same for your country? We are sending them back after thoroughly asking their opinions and confirming whether they will go to the Kuomintang government in the south or the Communist government in the north. Dalian is even providing shipping to those who want to cross over to the Kuomintang area. What are you talking about?”
The reason why He Yingqin asks as if interrogating him seems to be that he is concerned about the migration of Han Chinese from Manchuria to North China, which is ruled by the Communist Party. Although the government of the Republic of Korea had been pursuing an active immigration policy in the past to reduce the proportion of Han Chinese within the territory of Manchukuo, they were forced to do so by the Communist Party. It has never been sent to the territory.
Concerned that there might be a problem, they thoroughly asked about their intentions, and if they chose to go south, they took them on a ship such as the Liberty ship from Dalian and took them to Shanghai or Guangzhou, areas controlled by the Kuomintang.
And that too for free.
However, most chose the Communist Party.
Since most of them were ordinary people, the Communist Party’s propaganda was bound to be more attractive, and the area they immigrated to in the first place was also home to many people from North China.
Moreover, what the Kuomintang was doing was not at all trustworthy.
In areas ruled by the Kuomintang, corruption was severe and the lives of the common people were very difficult, but the Communist Party treated the residents of the areas it ruled quite well in order to gain public support.
However, it seemed to upset the Chinese Nationalist Party.
In any case, those who crossed over become residents under communist rule and become military resources.
“Are you saying that? “Isn’t it obvious that if the people of Manchukuo are taken over by the Communist Party, they will become their power base?”
“If you were so worried about that, shouldn’t you have done something better? “The people of Manchukuo are choosing the Communist Party because they are exploiting the common people, right?”
“what? “Have you said everything?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
“… … .”
He Yingqin glared at Kim Gyu-sik, but Kim Gyu-sik didn’t even blink.
Kim Gyu-sik is a man who has been traveling overseas for decades and has experienced all types of air combat.
“Damn, Mr. Kim, the person has really changed.”
“It’s not that the people have changed, it’s just that the situation has changed. As Mr. Heo said, don’t think of me as Kim Gyu-sik of the Provisional Government of the past who bowed his head to get something. “Now I am the proud Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea!”
“… … .”
“Once you’ve said everything, I will go.”
“Wait a moment. “There are still some left,”
“What else?”
“For some time, there have been rumors going around that your country is providing weapons to communists. “The weapons you captured from the Japanese Kwantung Army.”
“What are you talking about? Why do we support the Communist Party? Have you ever heard that our President Lee Kang-cheol hates the Communist Party so much? If you don’t know, ask Molotov over there. “Because it will tell you how much we hate the Soviet Union and the Communist Party.”
“… … .”
In this case, the fact that the current Republic of Korea openly rejected communism was a great help in putting its flippers out.
No matter what anyone says, South Korea is an anti-communist and pro-American country.
If you think about it with common sense, there was no way they would support the Chinese Communist Party.
“Yeah, that’s true, but then where on earth did all the Japanese weapons used by the Red Army come from?”
“Why are you asking us that? I don’t know, maybe it’s the weapons you acquired from the Japanese military… … .”
“what? “Say something that makes sense!”
“Why doesn’t it make sense? Has there been a time or two in the past when weapons supported by the United States ended up in the wrong hands? “Didn’t Mr. Heo also feel sorry for me?”
“Are you going to keep bringing up stories from the past?”
“Mr. Heo was the one who brought it up first?”
“Shit… … .”
“If you’ve said everything, I’ll leave now.”
“for a moment! Listen to this and go. We, the Kuomintang government, do not know what happened, but they suspect that you are providing weapons to the Red Army. President Jang is also concerned… … .”
“Bring the evidence, the evidence.”
“Be careful, we have no evidence now, but if it turns out to be true later, our Republic of China will never quietly forgive you.”
“her! This is so… … .”
Kim Gyu-sik stared at He Yingqin for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“How dare you threaten me now? No, are you threatening our Republic of Korea? In your eyes, do you still think of our Republic of Korea as the country it was during the provisional government that was living in Chongqing?”
“It seems like you are begging the United States to protect you, so think about the day when our Republic of China will be unified! When that time comes, our Republic of China will not forget the insolent Republic of Korea we are now! “If a small country defies a large country, it will definitely be punished!”
“Hoo? “Where have you heard this a lot?”
It is clear that these people still view the Republic of Korea as a princely state that paid tribute during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Normally, even with that many troops, they would have been pushed back by the Communist Red Army and fled to Taiwan.
“I will also give you a warning. Think about it if your hair is not an ornament. Why can’t even the United States treat our Republic of Korea carelessly? If you still don’t understand, I have nothing more to say, so I’ll just leave. Tsk tsk, looking at Mr. Heo’s actions, I can clearly see the future of the Republic of China.”
“profit!”
“I’m going.”
Kim Gyu-sik turned his back, leaving He Yingqin in a fit of convulsions.
Republic of China.
Seeing what the so-called representative of a country did, I thought that even if they had not provided weapons to the Communist Party, the country would not have lasted long.
