Republic of Korea in Yeokcheon - Chapter 308

#308. What makes you so confident when you’re receiving support?
“Is that okay? It would be a bit risky to give President Kennedy our information. He might be grateful in the short term, but in the long run, it would mean revealing that our government is conducting espionage activities within the United States.”
After seeing Joseph Kennedy off, Lee Kang-chul called in National Intelligence Service Director Cho Tae-hyun and Ko Seok-man and informed them that he had decided to use the information collected by the South Korean National Intelligence Service to eliminate FBI Director John Edgar Hoover.
Then, National Intelligence Service Director Cho Tae-hyun expressed his concerns.
Removing Director Hoover would not be a bad thing.
This is because this guy has been suspicious of the identity of the expedition team and has been constantly digging into their background since the time Lee Kang-cheol first visited the United States and met with Roosevelt.
During Roosevelt’s presidency, there was no CIA yet, so the FBI had the authority to conduct counterintelligence and even gather foreign intelligence, so there was no way to stop him.
In the end, it seemed as if Roosevelt had officially backed down after calling Hoover in and giving him a strong warning, but Hoover was not such an easy man.
He continued to poke at the expedition team without Roosevelt’s knowledge, and even dispatched an agent to Ganggye, only to be caught by the National Intelligence Service.
Of course, the National Intelligence Service did not stay still.
On the contrary, I was able to gather quite a bit of information by exposing Hoover’s weaknesses as if I was dusting him off, and since he was such a sinister person.
This tension was resolved when Truman took office and established the CIA as it had been historically done, putting it in charge of overseas counterintelligence and intelligence gathering. It was only after Truman separately called in Hoover and threatened to blow his balls if he continued to expose the true nature of the South Korean expedition team that it was almost completely resolved.
However, Hoover continued to secretly dig into the identity of the expedition team, and it is said that he even became slightly paranoid when he dug deep but found nothing.
The only thing that Hoover did not do as he had planned was the matter related to the South Korean government.
So, even now, we were secretly monitoring the Korean embassy staff and company staff residing in the United States, and sometimes, conflicts arose.
Of course, since Hoover was under surveillance 24 hours a day with cutting-edge equipment, 100 out of 100 FBI agents were defeated.
That’s why Hoover is more obsessed.
“I know that too. That’s why I was a bit worried. But isn’t it true that now is a good time to get rid of Hoover? The US President has a strong will to clean things up.”
“That is true, but it still bothers me that President Kennedy knows that we are conducting intelligence activities within the United States.”
Cho Tae-hyun still seemed uneasy, which was a natural reaction for the head of an intelligence agency.
Then, only Go Seok-man, who had been listening silently, stepped forward.
“Hey, Director Cho.”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
“I think President Kennedy knows that we don’t have a good relationship with the FBI.”
“I guess so.”
“Then, if possible, please pass on the old information.”
“Old information?”
“Yes, give me the information from about ten years ago. If President Kennedy asks later, you can just say that you came across the information by chance. They say that they stopped collecting information on major factors in the United States a long time ago. Is there anything like that?”
“He’s such a dirty guy, there’s a lot of it. There’s evidence of dealings with the mafia, and there are even pictures of him being homosexual.”
“Oh, homosexuality? Was that guy really homosexual?”
“We see him as bisexual. Anyway, it is true that he has had homosexual relationships. Even with boys… … .”
“I touched the kids with a dirty kid?”
“Huh! Seriously, what is this? Is this hate towards one’s own race? The guy who bullied homosexuals so much?”
“haha…….”
The three things Hoover was known to hate most were communists, blacks, and homosexuals.
But it’s absurd that he himself said he was homosexual.
“하여간 개새끼네. 조 원장.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“As Prime Minister Koh said, let’s just give them a few pieces of old evidence. I think Joseph and Bobby are currently at war with the mafia, so I think they should give them something related to the mafia.”
“I will do that.”
“Yeah, let’s just cover it up a bit, Kennedy. We don’t rely on Humint for information, so it’s not like Joseph can tell anything.”
Intelligence activities within the United States were conducted using extremely sophisticated equipment.
This was to prevent any accidental leaks or human interference, but the technological gap between the cutting-edge equipment and the US government would not have been able to detect it.
“That’s true. Anyway, I understand.”
“By the way, hyung.”
“why?”
“If I fly the Hoover, won’t ‘that incident’ happen?”
“That incident” refers to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Although the older brother became president instead of his younger brother, the policies and actions he implemented were similar, so that no one would think they were not brothers.
Therefore, it was a situation where it was impossible to guarantee that the older brother would not be assassinated instead of the younger brother.
“I don’t know. There are so many people who are mentioned as being behind the assassination.”
“That is true, but… … .”
“We have no choice but to eliminate as many powerful men as possible in this way. Hoover was the most powerful one to begin with.”
“Then, if we consider that the FBI and Hoover are excluded from the candidates this time, there are not many candidates left for the assassination, unlike in the original history.”
“yes?”
“Yes, the Soviet Union was and is an exception. They were badmouthing each other over the Cuban incident during the Cold War, but the Soviet Union really had nothing to gain by killing Kennedy. Furthermore, there was no such circumstance in the secret documents released after the collapse of the Soviet Union.”
There has never been any reason, historically or currently, to assassinate an American president in the Kremlin.
Above all, the Soviet Union had nothing to gain by killing the American President.
The United States isn’t some absolute monarchy, so what’s the point of killing one president?
Even if the Vice President takes over, it’s still the same old story.
“Well, definitely not the Soviet Union. Not now, even less so.”
“And it’s not the military hawks or the military-industrial complex. There’s no reason for the military to be upset anymore, because there’s no chance of a Cuban missile crisis. And the military-industrial complex is also in no position to be angry at Kennedy, because the Cold War itself has long since ended.”
“yes.”
“And the CIA? They’re not around anymore either. The Cold War ended a long time ago, and relations with Central and South America have been good since the Roosevelt era, so there’s no need to confront Kennedy about them. If we look at it this way, what’s left is… … .”
“The Mafia, the Jewish financial capitalists who are about to take on the challenge, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who’s left?”
“Yes. Of these, the Mafia and Jewish conspiracy theories are the most likely in this history. The Mafia is backed by Attorney General Robert, so it’s natural. Jewish finance capital was originally the most conspiracy theory, but this time, they’re clashing over Israel, so it’s very likely.”
“Oh, really! Being the President of the United States is no ordinary tiring thing.”
“Hahaha! It’s the most powerful position, so in a way, it’s natural.”
“Anyway, we have to stop him somehow because we don’t want to deal with someone like Lyndon Johnson. Let’s just do what we can. Even though we’re giving such strong warnings and eliminating the powerful assassination plotters, if he dies, that’s his fate. Send him to the level of a security team leader and raise the level of protection for the Americans. Provide him with equipment if you need it. And Director Cho.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“You should also keep a close watch on those who are likely to be behind the assassination. Especially the Mafia and Jewish capitalists.”
“All right.”
It is said that one should do one’s best and leave the rest to fate.
If Kennedy dies after all this, it will be his fate.

As soon as Joseph Kennedy returned to the United States, he sprang into action.
Because the reported date of the Jewish uprising in Palestine was approaching, there was no time.
First, Kennedy summoned the American ambassador to the UN.
“Adley.”
“I heard the story. Tell me what I have to do.”
“Haha! Thank you always.”
“Thank you? As someone who represents the United States at the UN, this is something I deserve.”
Joseph was always grateful to this bald old man.
This is because they have consistently supported him since his days as a presidential candidate.
Originally, in history, he was a big shot who ran against Eisenhower in the presidential election after Truman.
“It is absolutely unacceptable for Israel to take over the Palestinian territories. If that happens, the Middle East will become hell.”
“I totally agree.”
“That’s why I decided to actively utilize the UN.”
“Hmm, is it because of their pressure?”
“Well, I won’t say no.”
“Damn it! Since when have they been interfering with the President of the United States like this? So you’re going to leave them alone?”
“I will issue a strong warning to you so that you will never again try to influence the affairs of your own country of origin.”
“They won’t be easy, will they?”
“That’s true, but this time I have a justification and I plan to respond strongly. If I lose this time, it’s obvious that not only me but also the next president will continue to be pressured.”
“So, is that possible? If you do it wrong, you could get hurt.”
Adlai Ewing Stevenson II also knew how powerful their influence was.
“Haha! Don’t worry, I’ve thought of everything.”
“That’s good. Then, I should just ask the UN to respond strongly?”
“Yes, because it is clear that they have violated UN resolutions. And South Korea will also provide a lot of help.”
“Oh! South Korea?”
“Yes, I went to Seoul this time and discussed it with President Lee Kang-cheol, and he said he would give me full support.”
“It’s nice to meet you, but it’s a bit unexpected. As far as I know, they try not to get involved in matters in the Middle East or Africa.”
“Haha! That shows how seriously you take this matter.”
“What a relief.”
“Yes, anyway, Adlai said that if he steps forward, he will give us not only the shares of the Republic of Korea but also all the countries that have influence over Seoul. So things will go smoothly.”
“Okay. Then, to what extent do you think about it?”
“Even the UN peacekeeping force.”
“What? Like that?”
“This time, I’m going to go a little harder. I’m going to show you what happens when the President of the United States gets angry.”
“Haha! I see. I’ll do that.”
After Adlai left, Joseph instructed his secretary to put Israel’s Prime Minister Ben-Gurion on the phone.
“Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, I am the Kennedy of the United States.”
– Ben-Gurion, Mr. President. What brings you here?
“What will happen in this situation? Prime Minister, I will tell you straight. What will happen in Palestine in three days, if you do not stop it, I will not stay still.”
– Yes? Yes? No, I have no idea what you are talking about. What will happen in Palestine in three days?
Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion was embarrassed, but he also stuck his feet out.
But Joseph Kennedy could not sit still in this situation.
“Hey, Prime Minister!”
-Huh? No, suddenly you said that… … .
“Are you kidding me?”
– I wasn’t joking. I was saying that I really didn’t know something. And even if you are the President of the United States, you can’t yell at me like this, the Prime Minister of a country.
“Is it going to come out like this?”
-I don’t know English?
“ha ha ha!”
-hello?
“Understood. From now on, all assistance for your return will be cut off. You will never see another bullet from our country again, or even a dollar bill, so understand that.”
-What, what are you talking about? Where is that law!
“Why is there no such law? What have we left in the hands of the United States? Why are you so proud when you are receiving support?”
-Hey, profit!
“Okay, I’ll hang up.”
-for a moment!
“What is it?”
―Our compatriots in America won’t stay still! Is that okay?
“Ah! These are really!”
-What, what?
“Fuck! Do whatever you want! Do it! Where are these guys threatening me while tearing me apart! Hang up!”
-Hey, hey… … .
bang!
The phone was half broken.
“Let’s go as far as we can!”
President Joseph Kennedy was really pissed.
