#Episode 190 A person who has absolutely no need to be nice to you

“Did you understand? “Our war is not over yet.”

“okay. Does this mean we have a big game left with China?”

“It is reasonable to see it that way. And now it will be difficult to make them lose their strength by making them fight with each other.”

“Why is that?”

“What kind of idiots are they? “I got hit once, but I got hit twice?”

“But the will for unification is clear, right?”

“Aren’t we like that in modern times?”

“… … .”

“For 80 years after division, our wish was for unification. But does that actually happen? Did it work? Will and reality are different things. That would be the same in China as well. “At first, we may call for unification every day, but that is easier said than done.”

“Is that what happens?”

“Yes, the world people live in is all similar. In addition, we experienced a brutal civil war that lasted for decades. Because you remember the horrors of war, as you slowly start to make a living, you will become less and less inclined to go on adventures. Then, if one side, most likely the South, becomes much better off, forces opposing unification will emerge. To put it bluntly, we did that too, right? There are many young kids in their 20s and 30s who say they are against unification, right? “Why do we have to feed North Korean beggars?”

“It certainly was. Sometimes, when I go online and look at something, I am shocked. “It wasn’t like that when I was young.”

It really was like that.

Since the 2010s, when Korea began to become a developed country, the number of young people with negative perceptions of unification has increased.

They started to say without hesitation why we need to unify when we are eating well and living well among ourselves.

In the past, even if I thought about it, I wouldn’t dare say it out of fear of being criticized, or even if I did, I would have been immediately scolded for saying things.

And surprisingly, such opinions received a lot of support, which embarrassed those in their 50s or older who had grown up thinking that unification was a national policy.

“That’s what humans are animals. Because in the end, we choose complacency rather than risky adventures. Moreover, Mao Zedong in the north and Chiang Kai-shek in the south say they have a firm will for unification, but Mao Zedong knows our intentions, right? Chiang Kai-shek also does not know the exact situation, but he is somewhat suspicious. In that case, it would be reasonable to say that it is not easy for a third Chinese civil war to break out again.”

“That makes sense.”

“Anyway, that’s it. In that way, I, as well as the President, think that for the time being, North and South China will take a wait-and-see approach while strengthening their internal stability. The National Intelligence Service also agrees with this. Even Teacher Woosa agreed.”

“Then, if it develops and we feel like it’s worthy of joining us, you’re saying we’ll come together in some way, right?”

“bingo! They are the people who don’t know unification but can’t stand revenge. Some people may ask, ‘What did we do wrong that we want to take revenge on?’ But on both sides, we were a tributary country in the past… … . “There are many other reasons besides those reasons.”

“Ha, those guys are so… … .”

“The fact that we ate Manchuria is an outrageous thing, and the fact that we made Tibet and Xinjiang independent is also a target of revenge. Attacking Yunnan and Guangxi there would have been fatal. Moreover, the fact that we used force while mediating the end of the war would have been intolerable to them.”

“Hehehe!”

“ok?”

“Why is this friend like this all of a sudden?”

At the end of Go Seok-man’s explanation, Kim Jong-woo suddenly started laughing, which made Lee Kang-cheol and Go Seok-man wonder.

“Hey, President Kim. what’s the matter? suddenly?”

“Hehehe! “Because I like it.”

“huh? “What do you like?”

“I actually thought this expedition would be my last battle. So I thought I would spend the rest of my life lonely at my desk. however! Isn’t that what it is? “There’s going to be at least one big fight, right?”

“Yeah, yeah… … .”

“Hahaha! Chief of the Navy! I can’t give up my seat even if I die! Until we have a real fight with China. “This is unconditional, unconditional!”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Kim Jong-woo laughed as he recalled an incident from a while ago.

“Hehehe!”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The staff were taken aback to see the president suddenly losing his mind, but it was enough as long as the president was in a good mood.

match!

“ruler! Let’s take a break from now on. “Tell the ship’s troops to rest except for essential personnel.”

“All right.”

“And there will be another air strike later this evening. “Where are their ammunition depots and supplies?”

“It’s about 130km southwest of here. Of course, the ammunition and supplies that could be used immediately on the front line here were 30km behind, but they were lost a long time ago.”

“Okay, that’s it for the night. Just do that and put the kids to sleep. “That’s it for today.”

“Isn’t it better to take turns hitting each other even if we take a break?”

“no. That’s enough. As I said before, this battle is not a war. Although they say they were complaining about being imprisoned, Bai Chongxi has no reason to go that far. “It’s not a desperate situation.”

“yes.”

“So it’s better to just hit him once a night and give him time to think. So do as I say. “There will probably be some news by tomorrow.”

“All right.”

December 30th at 23:00.

Wooooow!

130km southwest of Haikou.

The sound of engines began to be heard in the distance, and soon about 20 F4U Corsair fighter jets appeared in the sky.

and.

Shoooooo! Shoooooooo!

Kwakwakwak! bang! bang!

The 500-pound guided bomb KGGB, which has strict restrictions on use because it is not in stock anymore, flew in and hit the ammunition depot that was secretly guarded, and directly hit other supplies.

The ammunition depot soon exploded, and the roar and shock waves were also transmitted to the temporary field headquarters in Baichong City, stationed 80km to the front.

“What does this mean!”

Bai Chongxi, who could not sleep due to the crushing defeat, shouted as he ran out.

But he felt it even before receiving the report.

There was only one object in the south that could create such a roar and shock wave.

And a report that came later confirmed that his intuition was correct.

“The Korean fighter jets blew up the magazine. “All general supplies were also lost.”

“… … .”

“Commander?”

“I get it. “Let’s try to save the surviving soldiers as much as possible.”

“All right.”

“Just leave now.”

“yes? Other instructions… … .”

“Well, I don’t have any, so let’s go out.”

“All right.”

The adjutant thought it was strange to see the commander who was surprisingly unfazed, but he had to leave for now.

After a while, he opened a bottle of his favorite wine and simply blew on it.

and.

“haha! Is this the end?”

Everything was in vain.

“My luck ends here. Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve had a good night’s sleep.”

Bai Chongxi lay down.

I had not slept well for several days due to my nerves, so my eyes immediately closed.

It was definitely easier to give up.

December 31st, 08:00.

The morning of the last day of 1951 dawned.

Hong Beom-do, flagship of the Republic of Korea Expeditionary Fleet.

“President, what will you do?”

“wait. “The Marines are told not to leave the occupied area anymore.”

“What about the waiting amphibious troops?”

“Of course they should land. Because we all have to land anyway. Oh, the 3rd Division is told to stand by. “I have to go to the Neuju Peninsula.”

“All right.”

A landing operation took place yesterday, but today the strange situation continued with not a single bullet being fired from either side.

Perhaps there has never been an amphibious landing like this before and there never will be again.

December 31st at 12 noon.

“Communication coming in!”

“Turn it on speaker.”

“all right.”

Soon, voice communication mixed with some noise came out of the speaker.

―I am Bai Chongshi, commander of the Hainan Island Defense Command of the Republic of China.

Surrendered at 12 noon on December 31st.

Say it again.

I am from Hainan Province, Republic of China… … .

“It’s over.”

“Hwiyu! The president is truly a ghost. “Do you think you can spread this mat and run a business?”

“really? “Would you like to take a ride on Jakdu?”

“… … .”

“Hahaha!”

Bai Chongxi eventually surrendered.

It had been exactly 24 hours since the landing operation began.

December 31st 12:30.

Seoul Government Complex.

“They say Bai Chongxi has surrendered.”

“okay? As expected, Kim Jong-woo is good at his job.”

“ha ha ha! That’s right. In just one day, we took over an island guarded by 80,000 troops. “I really wish he would just change his temper a little.”

“What should I do? I see you were born that way, right? “Even if it’s a little weird, we have to live together.”

“… … .”

The Navy already lacks high-ranking general personnel.

As Lee Kang-cheol said, even if it was a little dirty and unpleasant, I had no choice but to accommodate it as much as possible.

“Anyway, tell them to clean up quickly and send troops to the Neuju Peninsula. “You said Peng Dehuai was waiting for you, right?”

“Yes, it’s been a while since I came down.”

“Okay, meet him and tell him to deal with anything that needs to be done.”

“All right.”

“ah! “You know that Peng Dehuai guy, he’s a human being who doesn’t need you to be nice to him at all, right?”

“ha ha ha! “Of course.”

“And I told them to be careful because it was obvious they were going to spy on us. “If you look at that person’s records, he was not an ordinary competent person.”

“All right.”

There was a reason why Lee Kangcheol disliked Peng Dehuai.

He was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army that invaded the Korean Peninsula, which was on the verge of unification during the Korean War.

His official title is Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army.

Mao Zedong originally tried to appoint Lin Biao (Lin Biao) as commander-in-chief, but Lin Biao initially opposed sending troops to help North Korea and was also in poor health.

So in the end, Peng Dehuai became the commander-in-chief, but the reason Li Kang-cheol disliked him was not simply because he invaded under Mao Zedong’s instructions.

Mao Zedong, who had insisted on sending troops to the Korean Peninsula while saying nonsense, saying, “Sun hammer cold cold,” actually almost failed to go through with sending troops because there was so much opposition.

However, it was Peng Dehuai who saved Mao when he was faced with such a difficult situation.

As he actively supported Mao Zedong’s claim to send troops, the general trend, which had been against sending troops, eventually changed.

In short, at least in the Korean War, the greatest enemy of the Republic of Korea, along with Mao Zedong, is Peng Dehua.

Even though it won’t happen anymore, I can’t help but hate it.

Anyway, what Peng Dehuai said was not very good.

Because he died miserably after being treated unfairly by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.

Although it was limited to some, it seemed like there was some kind of heavenly punishment.

“hmm? Who tells my story? “Why are my ears itchy like this?”

While Lee Kang-cheol and Go Seok-man were peeling pangdeohwai, two middle-aged fishermen were riding a small boat in the sea off the Neuju Peninsula.

“Anyway, the Joseon people are really great! amazing! It’s amazing! “This was a truly precious sight.”

“It was truly terrifying. Bai Chongxi was not a person who could be defeated so easily.”

“With such incredible power and such demonic mercenary skills, I would have suffered the same thing.”

“No way?”

“No, I’ve only heard about this, but it’s really amazing. And I’m really jealous. “Such a great navy.”

“… … .”

“ruler! Anyway, let’s go back now. “I think a guest will come soon.”

“All right.”

The two rowed diligently and returned to land.
