#142 We die here!

That evening, Lee Kang-cheol was drinking soju with Go Seok-man for the first time in a long time.

“nice! good night!”

“eww! great!”

Before I knew it, the 25 percent soju was in my mouth.

As I drank like that, soju bottles piled up on the table.

“older brother.”

“why?”

“I mean China.”

“Why China?”

“Is there any need to leave the area of ​​the Kuomintang government? “I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.”

“Hmm… … .”

“Is that so? Why do we support the Communist Party? “It’s to our advantage if Mao rules China, right?”

“That’s right, Taekdong said, ‘That bird is harmful,’ so we should carry out the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.”

“Puhuhuh!”

As Lee Kang-cheol said, the leadership of the Republic of Korea long ago wanted Mao Zedong’s Communist Party to dominate China.

This is because only if Mao Zedong rules, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution will occur as they had in history, destroying the country of China and causing it to stagnate or retreat for at least several decades.

Up to 50 million people starved to death or were mistreated to death during the Great Leap Forward.

And the Cultural Revolution.

“It is impossible to fall, not to fall, to go first and then to fall.”

If you don’t break it down, you can’t build it up. First break it down, then build it up.

This is what Mao Zedong said.

With this rare shovel, they did not hesitate to destroy the tomb of Confucius, destroying cultural and historical heritage, and all sectors of society, including the economy, culture, and art world, were devastated.

It is estimated that up to 20 million people were massacred, and the number of people who were tortured and permanently injured was countless.

It was an obvious disaster for China, or rather for the Han people, but it wasn’t so bad for humanity.

The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, these two great events, have postponed China’s emergence as a superpower and a source of concern to the world by at least several decades.

So, from the beginning, the leaders of the expeditionary force, including Lee Kang-cheol and Ko Seok-man, planned to unify China or at least let the Chinese Communist Party take the lead, as had been the case in history.

In addition, because China was so large, they planned to force a significant division or carry out an operation.

“By the way, the division is still in place to some extent, right? We took over Manchuria, Xinjiang and Tibet became independent, and Inner Mongolia also controls northern Inner Mongolia, excluding the Korean-populated area in the south, and is planning to make it independent into Mongolia soon.”

“Well, to a certain extent, yes.”

“But in this situation, is it right to give consideration to the survival of the Kuomintang government in the south? “Even if the goal is to divide China as much as possible?”

“Hmm… … .”

“Our current plan is to divide China by having Taiwan and Hainan Province for ourselves, and the Kuomintang government’s Republic of China to have Fujian Province and Guangdong Province. Are Fujian Provinces or Guangdong Provinces small? In our time, the population of Guangdong Province reached 120 million, and Fujian Province reached 40 million. It was also an economically developed area. But the National Party controls such an area? Chiang Kai-shek is not Mao Zedong. “He is the one who made Taiwan into a small, but prosperous and developed country.”

“It’s the 160 million Republic of China… … .”

“There is no doubt that it will become a considerable power. Besides, aren’t they neutral? “Isn’t that right?”

This is something that Lee Kang-cheol has been struggling with these days.

Even though the goal was to tear apart China as much as possible, Chiang Kai-shek’s Republic of China, if it came to its senses, would undoubtedly become a significant power, as Go Seok-man said.

So, are these guys any different?

Originally, in history, the country called Taiwan was so small that its development was limited, so its existence itself was minimal.

But what if it becomes a powerful country?

Is the existence of the powerful Republic of China really beneficial to the Republic of Korea?

“9-dash line? As you know, they are the ones who went one step further and called for an 11-dash line in the first place. The communists took it as is and only removed the area between Haenam and Vietnam. If it’s the spirit of neutralization, they’re worse than the communists, right? “It’s just that we’re in a bad situation because we’re stuck in a small box called Taiwan.”

“I know that. So I’m struggling.”

“I’m asking because I think that’s the case.”

“So, what do you think?”

“Honestly, the Chinese civil war dragged on long enough. Originally, the decision would have been made a long time ago, right? A decision will be made within the next two years at best. What will we do then? “The only problem left is .”

“So what should we do?”

“For now, let’s just let the Communist Party unify mainland China. Don’t leave the Kuomintang behind. “Mao Zedong’s China is good for us.”

“Umm… … .”

It was definitely an appealing statement.

“Besides, we support the Chinese Communist Party. No matter how easy it is, the Kuomintang bastards will find out one day. So will they stay still? In short, there is no reason to allow the creation of a 160 million-strong power that is unfriendly or hostile to our Republic of Korea.”

“You’re right. “But I do this because I am concerned about giving China over to the Communist Party.”

“Looking at the situation, let’s separate southwestern China.”

“Southwestern China?”

“Yes, right across from Hainan Island, which we want, is going to be the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, right? The area is larger than the Korean Peninsula. The population was close to 50 million by our time standards. Let’s make it independent, or give it to Vietnam. Of course, we will take the Leizhou Peninsula, which borders Hainan Island, which we will eat.”

“Hoo? “Is that okay?”

“Besides, we and the Chinese Communist Party will definitely clash at some point. “Looking at it then, I think I could use a little more work.”

“Hmm, I understand. Let’s take a look at the situation first. “You can either watch and let the Kuomintang perish.”

“All right.”

Although Lee Kang-cheol said this, it was actually the moment when the fate of the Chinese Nationalist Party was decided.

“By the way, are you going to completely liquidate the Mongolian People’s Republic?”

“Isn’t it obvious? What are you going to do by leaving it alone? “I understand that the population is currently less than 800,000?”

“Yes.”

“Mongolia will just have to continue its legacy in northern Inner Mongolia. And we can just annex the Mongolian People’s Republic.”

Now, in the Mongolian People’s Republic, the population of the Mongolian People’s Republic has not increased at all since 1937, when the dictator Heliguing Cheybaldan followed Stalin’s example and killed so many people.

No, it was all said and done because there were already no people, but they killed so many people that the population decreased in the middle. In any case, although the area was extremely large, the population was only around 700,000, so there was no burden at all about annexing the country.

Moreover, since they followed the Soviet Far East Army and invaded Korea first, there was nowhere to complain if the country collapsed.

“So, what are you going to do about Central Asia?”

“Hey, hey, let’s just leave it alone. No matter how secular it became under the Soviet rule, it is still a Muslim country. “It is indispensable to Muslim countries.”

“ha ha ha! “It’s a bit like that for Stan-affiliated countries, isn’t it?”

“Are you stating the obvious? I have no prejudice against religion. Whether it is Buddhism, Christianity, or shamanism. But Islam is so alien to us. “I respect it, but I have no intention of ever getting involved.”

“Fuhaha!”

“So leave the Stan countries alone. Let’s not worry about whether it is fried or not.”

“But shouldn’t we be friendly?”

“That’s natural. “Central Asian people won’t feel bad towards us, right?”

“Of course. “Anyway, they become independent because of us.”

“Then let’s just be friendly countries. “With moderate support.”

“All right.”

“Come on, let’s drink.”

“Cheers!”

“nice!”

“Kya! good night!”

After all, a drink was the best medicine after working hard.

If only Go Seok had not said this.

“older brother.”

“why?”

“This is personal.”

“What?”

“Are you really going to live alone and die of old age?”

“What dude?”

“Are you really going to live such a lonely life?”

“Is this guy crazy? How old am I now and am I now a woman? “I will soon be 60, 60!”

“What’s wrong with that? According to your report, who puts you in your late 50s?”

“But that’s not it. It’s not like it used to be anymore. “Is your child talking nonsense?”

“Why don’t you think again, since the war with the Soviet Union is over?”

“That’s it, dude. And where is the woman that catches my eye?”

Lee Kang-cheol was originally a man of high standards.

There was no way a woman of this era would catch his eye.

They look good, but their thoughts are completely different.

It is not for nothing that the unmarried rate among those from the expeditionary force is high.

If possible, marriage with female soldiers or civilians who came with the expeditionary force was encouraged and preferred, but since the ratio of men was overwhelming, it was impossible for everyone to find a partner.

Although the number of women marrying new women after thorough government verification increased, the problem was still a problem.

And that also applied to Lee Kang-cheol.

“Then, brother, what if there’s a girl you’re interested in?”

“what? “Where is that woman?”

“I heard there’s a girl my wife has been seeing. Would you like to meet her?”

“Uh-huh! You keep talking nonsense! “Have a drink!”

“Nun… … .”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

however.

“who?”

Lee Kang-cheol quietly asked.

“why? “Are you interested?”

“You’re just asking, right? who?”

“There were four researchers who were first sucked into the wormhole, right?”

“however?”

“Do you know that one of them is Researcher Lee Won-young, Hong Il-jeom?”

“who? Wonyoung Lee? hey! How old is he? You’re in your mid-thirties now, right? “Is this crazy?”

“Hey, who said Lee Won-young? And she got married a long time ago.”

“Well, is that so? Now that I think about it, I think it was really pretty… … .”

“Hey, I have eyes to see.”

“This bastard?”

“Oh please! Please listen until the end. Researcher Wonyoung Lee’s entire family came over.”

“It did. From what I heard, all the researchers who came over initially had their families with them.”

“Researcher Wonyoung Lee’s family is his parents and siblings. Her sisters all came over. “Maybe because I come from a family that is good at studying, all my family members are doctors or researchers.”

“okay?”

“Among them, there is Lee Won-young’s older sister, but she is said to be still single. We are 41 years old this year and are very beautiful. He is currently working as a doctor.”

“Are you a beauty? “Why didn’t I know a woman like that?”

“Hey, brother, how do you know the faces of over 15,000 people? “Aren’t we idle people?”

“That’s right. But isn’t the age difference too much? “They’re 18 years older than me?”

“What does age have to do with it? If you’re at your level, it’s okay if you’re under 20 years old? Besides, your older brother is really young, right? “Did you take good care of your health?”

“Hmm, that’s right. But how does Jesu know?”

“He’s my wife’s doctor. So, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been her older sister and her younger brother. But, they said I couldn’t be that pretty, that good-natured, and that kind.”

“Where in the world is a woman like that? It’s an imaginary animal, right? “Who is that kind of woman?”

“… … .”

Go Seok-man was astonished and closed his mouth.

There is a reason why people cannot get married.

“Why do you stop talking?”

“I thought you weren’t interested.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

That’s how the drinking party ended.

However, Lee Kang-cheol’s words stuck in the back of Go Seok-man’s head as he went home.

“Seokman.”

“why?”

“Why don’t you make a seat? Very naturally?”

“… … .”

Even though Lee Kang-cheol was old, he remained a bachelor.
