#156 Our intentions? Does that matter?

October 28, 1949.

Dalian city, south of Yoyangdo Island, South Korea.

It used to be called Dalian in Chinese, but now it is called Dalian in Korean.

In a suite room at a luxury hotel in Dalian, an old man was looking out the window.

It was Deputy Prime Minister Kim Gyu-sik, head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea.

“Every time I come to Dalian, I am amazed at the progress. So lively… … .”

Dalian was a historically developed city from the beginning.

It is a port city located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The climate is mild due to the maritime nature, so it is not too hot in the summer and not that cold in the winter compared to the high latitudes.

In addition, geographically, it was a very strategic point as it was located next to a port and was like a gateway from the Korean peninsula to the continent. Russia and Japan also knew about this, so Russia first included it through the Triple Intervention, and later Japan took it away as compensation for victory in the Russo-Japanese War.

Perhaps that’s why it had a strange atmosphere, with a mix of Chinese and Russian and Japanese elements.

Anyway, after the Republic of Korea defeated the Kwantung Army and acquired Manchuria, the Republic of Korea became its territory. Many Korean companies advanced into the country, and now, except for the Gando area, many Koreans who originally immigrated from the Korean Peninsula live there, and now the number is almost as large as that of Chinese Koreans. It got to that point.

It’s time to spend time looking at the night view.

smart!

“Yes, please come in.”

“Vice Premier, Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council has arrived.”

“oh! “Hurry and take us inside.”

“all right.”

A little while later, a man wearing a bowler hat pulled down deeply, as if trying to hide his identity, came in as he was ushered into the room.

It was Zhou Enlai, Premier of the State Council of China.

“It’s been a while, Teacher Zhou.”

“I see, Mr. Kim. “I heard that the last time he was in Seoul, he was on a tour of Europe.”

“haha! I feel sorry about this. “I had urgent business to do in Europe at that time.”

“I know. “He went to explain the victory over the Soviet Union.”

“ha ha ha! Thank you for your understanding.”

“… … .”

Zhou Enlai was envious of Kim Kyu-sik’s confident appearance, and at the same time, he was jealous.

A long time ago, when I occasionally saw him in Chongqing, he was dressed in really shabby clothes and grabbed everyone he saw, groveling in hopes of getting support in some way.

But now I feel so confident.

Moreover, he was always irritable and his illness was evident, but now he looked younger and even glowed.

I was jealous.

That confidence.

“Whoa! Yeah, by the way. Why did you call me again? And why has the transfer of weapons and equipment that were coming in so often been stopped?”

“I asked to see you to explain that.”

“Do I need an explanation? Isn’t it okay if I apply as promised? “I didn’t think your country was a ruthless country that didn’t keep its promises, did you?”

“Our Republic of Korea has never broken a promise. From what I can confirm, it is clear that they have decided to hold additional discussions if any major changes occur before the second shipment is delivered, right? “Am I wrong?”

“No, that’s… … .”

“And one more thing! We obviously decided to send the second batch appropriately, right? “Isn’t that right?”

“… … .”

Zhou Enlai could not refute it out loud, but only said to himself, “Fuck!” He shouted.

I tried so hard to confirm the application period, but in the end it was rejected.

However, it was impossible for me to remain stubborn until the end when I was in a situation where my guts were burning.

“Ha, so when are you sending it to me? “What are the big changes?”

“A very significant change has occurred. So we had no choice but to put the second batch on hold.”

“So what is it?”

“Don’t you want to end the war quickly?”

“Do you need to ask that to know? Of course, I want to finish it as soon as possible! Phew! Phew!”

I gradually felt the limits of my patience.

The Republic of Korea is a country that supports the Kuomintang’s Republic of China along with the United States while supporting itself in this way.

As if they wanted to fight each other forever for a long, long time,

No, that was certain.

Although it was strange that it had a strange nuance to it, as if they were hoping for the Communist Party to win from the last time.

“Whoa! Fix it, Teacher Zhou!”

“Whoa!”

“her! this!”

Kim Gyu-sik smiled wryly as he watched Zhou Enlai take a deep breath when told to fix it.

Even though we were enemies, I could understand his frustration.

“Now that you’ve calmed down, please speak.”

“Hum hum, then I’ll tell you. “I really intend to help end the civil war.”

“Well, is that really true?”

“I may have lost favor with Mr. Zhou in recent years, but I don’t think it’s to the point where I’m seen as someone who talks nonsense.”

“… … .”

Will it help us end this damn civil war?

Zhou Enlai felt like he had been doused with cold water.

I felt like I could do anything if I could just end this damn civil war.

However, one had to be careful.

Because these Joseon bastards were never the type of people who would see China doing well.

There was clearly some kind of trap.

“You don’t like it?”

“Is that possible? How on earth can your return to our country end our civil war?”

“Once we decide to provide support, the weapons and equipment will be delivered quickly.”

“And?”

“It will be more than the amount originally planned to be supported. “At least to the point where it won’t be said that we couldn’t fight because we didn’t have weapons and ammunition for a while.”

“Is that true? “Do you have weapons in your country to give like that?”

“We almost robbed the Soviet army. Although many weapons were destroyed due to the overwhelming beating, it is still the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union. “I was able to pack a lot of weapons.”

“Well, I see.”

If Gyu-sik Kim says it, it will be a huge amount.

And if such weapons were supported, the Chinese communist army would no longer have to envy the Kuomintang army.

How many times have we cried out that we only had more guns, that we weren’t short on bullets?

Although Zhou Enlai vowed to be careful, he felt extremely thirsty.

“Then what are the conditions for returning home? “There’s no way your country would give us this much support just because we like it, right?”

“ha ha ha! Are you sad about this? To put it bluntly, isn’t our Republic of Korea a businessman?”

“Teacher Kim, let’s be honest even when we’re alone. To put it bluntly, whether you are the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, you are wary of China, aren’t you? And that too very badly.”

“Well, to be honest, I’m a little wary.”

It was good to admit things in moderation.

Of course, Zhou Enlai would feel this, but if he sticks out his flippers, he will only lose more trust.

“So please be honest. What do you want in return for providing so many weapons? When it comes to land, as you know, I don’t want to give more. “If we unify, we even decided to take over Taiwan and Hainan, right?”

“Let’s be selective about what we say. What do you rip off? “If anyone hears this, they will think that our Republic of Korea is being robbed.”

“Whoa!”

Isn’t it? I held back from answering.

Because they are the ones in urgent need.

“And don’t forget. Who is leading the life of the People’s Republic of China? “Thanks to us, Mr. Zhou’s Communist Party has been breathing ever since the Soviet Union was defeated by us.”

“I know. So, tell me the conditions.”

“All right. We, the Republic of Korea, intend to help the Chinese Communist Party dominate the continent. Instead, you should give a little more.”

“Is it land again? So what do you say we have left? Are you going to take Hebei? Can you afford to take that? Now, this is an area that was originally dominated by the Han Chinese, so the population is enormous. Can they handle it? “Our compatriots in Manchuria couldn’t handle it, so they sent a significant number of people to us and the Nationalist Party?”

Zhou Enlai did not understand at all.

Whether it’s Xinjiang, Tibet, or Inner Mongolia, all the land they have to offer has been given away.

From now on, even if we give it to the traditional Han Chinese territory, the Koreans will not be able to handle it.

It would not be possible to kill all that many people, because there are too many to assimilate.

If they were not careful, they would be eaten, and I couldn’t understand why the Joseon bastards, who couldn’t have known that, were so obsessed with territory.

It may have been small in territory, but now it has surpassed Manchuria and swallowed up all of the eastern territory of the Soviet Union, becoming the world’s largest country in name and reality.

“All of Guangxi and Yunnan and half of Guizhou. And in Guangdong Province, give us the region from the Leizhou Peninsula to Zhanjiang. In addition, Hong Kong and Macau permanently cede the area including the surrounding areas of Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Zhongshan.”

“Are you crazy? “Are you saying that?”

“Why doesn’t it make sense? Guangxi is the territory of the Zhuang people, and Yunnan and Guizhou are not originally the territory of the Han people?”

“Look at this! Teacher Kim! Even now, people have been talking about Xinjiang and Tibet. In fact, from Guizhou to Sichuan, Qinghai, and Gansu, they have been cut in half! But you want me to put out more there? No, what if I give it away? The territories are not connected, so how can your country swallow it up? How are you going to govern so many of our Han Chinese people and the Zhuang people? Hong Kong and Macau are British territories, so what are you going to do about that?”

“Who said we had it?”

“yes? “What does that mean?”

“What we have is the Guizhou Peninsula. I feel uneasy because it is so close to Haenam Island. The remaining territory will be partly owned by Vietnam and Burma, and in the case of Guangxi, a country of the Zhuang people will be established and become independent. “It’s the same in Yunnan.”

“Wow, are there all these crazy people out there! “You’re planning to tear our Chinese culture to pieces!”

Zhou Enlai trembled.

Although it was expected, these assassins were planning to cut off all of Junghwa’s limbs.

“Are you saying too much?”

“What’s too much! Impossible! Absolutely not possible! “Even if dirt gets in my eyes, it’s absolutely impossible!”

“It’s not up to Mr. Zhou to decide. “Chairman Mao might have different thoughts, right?”

“Don’t worry, it will never happen! Who would want to become a sinner before history!”

“Do you mean to cut off support for the National Party?”

“W-what?”

“Oh, not just our support, but American support as well.”

“… … .”

The simmering fire seemed to die down in an instant.

No, it just turned off right away.

What if South Korea provides weapons and the United States also cuts off support for the Kuomintang?

Then, there was nothing to see.

The rotten Kuomintang army will never defeat the communist army.

If that’s the case, this damn civil war won’t last long and will end.

“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do. Our government was still trying to give your Communist Party a chance. What are our intentions? Does that matter? “Do you think you’re in a position to choose between cold and hot food?”

“no… … .”

“Then keep fighting. This means that we must continue to fight against the Kuomintang across the Yangtze River! How many deaths has the Communist Party lost now? 5 million? 6 million? If you include the National Party, I think it would be over 15 million? ah! “There are so many people in the Chinese nation that it doesn’t matter, right?”

Zhou Enlai closed his eyes tightly.

Because I felt that I couldn’t refuse this.
