#98. I will teach you well

June 5, 1947, 10 a.m. (Burma local time)

Provisional Cabinet Office Building in Yangon, Burma.

This magnificent Victorian-style building, which serves as the headquarters office for the interim cabinet led by Aung San, was originally used as the British Government-General of Burma, and its site was as large as 16 acres (approximately 20,000 pyeong).

“Then we will begin the extraordinary cabinet meeting.”

When the young man in his 30s sitting in the middle opened his mouth, everyone straightened their posture.

He was Aung San, known as the father of Burma.

“Minister of Foreign Affairs Tin Tut, how is the situation regarding the Rohingya?”

“We are currently discussing this with the UK and the Indian Empire.”

“I thought the Indian Empire was against it?”

“Like us, India is still a British territory. Since Britain is putting pressure on the Indian Empire in conjunction with its independence schedule, I think it will be resolved soon.”

“That’s a good thing. In any case, now is the last chance to resolve the Rohingya issue. “We are very fortunate that the UK has taken such an active step.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I really don’t know how Korea knew about it and paid so much attention to it.”

“It’s not just that. I don’t know why, but Korea is really doing us a favor. “It seems like the UK is also paying attention to Korea, at least in Asia.”

“Could it be that there is another plan? “Just like the Japanese.”

Tamil Minister of Education Abdul Razak opened his mouth with a worried expression.

Although it is not the same case, Japan was also thought to be a liberation army at first, but its actions were even worse than those of Britain, so it was natural to worry.

“That’s definitely not the case. Prime Minister Attlee also said not to worry as he had no such intentions, and President Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam, which became independent before us, also said that Korea was just looking for a good friend.”

“Hmm, if Ho Chi Minh is like that, you can rest assured.”

“Yes, that’s right. Her party, Minister Kim of Korea, also told me not to worry as he had no intention of doing such a thing. Anyway, Korea is a newly independent country like us, but it is a powerful country that cannot be compared to us, and above all, it is very friendly to us. They said they would give me a loan on very good terms. Considering the situation this time, I plan to form an alliance. “Korea also wants an alliance.”

“That’s a good idea. However, the Korea liaison officer continues to be worried about the Prime Minister’s safety. The same goes for me about that.”

Ba Cho, Minister of Information, said with a worried expression.

“haha! “I heard those rumors, but is that why you didn’t have a bodyguard?”

“There are too few bodyguards. “Security must be strengthened.”

“That’s a bit…” … .”

“No, Aung San. I keep hearing bad stories in my ears. You need to be more aware of what you mean to us in Burma. “If something happens to you, integration will be difficult.”

When Aung San’s older brother, Minister of Communications Ba Win, also joined in, it was difficult for Aung San to remain stubborn any longer.

“Whoa! I can’t help this. Then, please have the Minister of Information take charge and increase the number of bodyguards. “This is enough, right?”

“I will do that.”

“Okay, then next… … .”

It was then.

Ta-da-da-da! Ta-da-dan!

“Ugh!”

Gunshots and screams were suddenly heard outside.

It was the unmistakable sound of a machine gun.

“What does this mean?”

“It’s not that unusual! Hurry and avoid!”

“No, this… … .”

But it was late.

Ta-da-da-da-da-dan! Ta-da-da!

Jump up!

More gunshots were heard outside, the conference room door opened, and four gunmen rushed in.

All are armed with Thompson submachine guns and Sten guns.

“W-Who are you?”

“What kind of people are they?”

“… … .”

However, the gunmen did not respond, but instead raised the muzzle of their submachine gun and pointed it at Aung San, who closed his eyes.

It’s over now.

“Ha, our country’s independence is right in front of us… … .”

It was so frustrating.

And I was worried.

About how this country will progress after his death.

I should have heeded Korea’s warning, but I was wrong.

however.

Jang! puck!

“uh?”

“Oh!”

The head of the gunman in front who was pointing his gun at Aung San suddenly exploded.

At the same time, it was clear that it was a sniper attack, as the window was broken.

“Holy shit! It’s a sniper! “Hurry and sweep it away!”

The remaining three gunmen were panicking and tried to kill Aung San in a hurry, but they did not get their way.

Ta-da-dan! Tadang!

“Kaaak!”

“Ugh!”

Soldiers in uniform, whom they had never seen outside the door, stormed in and skillfully killed two of the three assailants.

Now there is only one person left.

“Drop the Weapon!”

When the soldier in the lead shouted in English to put down his gun, the last remaining gunman looked conflicted for a moment and then suddenly pointed his gun at Aung San.

It was clear that he wanted to complete his mission even if it meant his death.

but.

Ta-da-dan!

“Ugh!”

In the end, even the last remaining gunman was killed.

And the Korean language that comes out of nowhere,

“Oh, damn it! “The damn bastard doesn’t listen to me, so I’m being treated like a fool!”

“Fuck you. They told me to take at least one prisoner… … .”

“hey! How do you do it? “That bastard raises his gun, ready to die?”

“men and horses! Who said something to you? “It’s because it looks like the team leader will break it!”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Aung San and other provisional cabinet ministers were relieved that they were alive, but when the soldiers who saved them suddenly appeared to be fighting, they could only gape in bewilderment.

Tap, tap, tap!

A soldier in uniform, whom I had never seen before, entered the conference room, frowned, and opened his mouth.

“what? Did you kill them all? These damn children! “I told you to take at least one person prisoner!”

“No, then what should I do? I turn the muzzle with the intention of dying… … .”

“Boss Kim, you bastard! Then shoot me in the arm!”

“Is that okay? And what are you going to do if something goes wrong?”

“Noisy!”

“Who is it over there… … .”

“ah! “Look at my mind.”

chuck!

It was a suspicious soldier who only turned and saluted when Aung San asked about his identity.

“This is Major Choi Min-ki of the Republic of Korea Special Forces.”

“yes? The Republic of Korea Special Forces? “What about the Korean Special Forces?”

“I came as an advisor not long ago, but I was secretly guarding the outskirts after receiving a request that the Prime Minister’s safety was uneasy. “I understand that this was discussed between the upper levels of our government and your Minister of Information, Bacho.”

“yes? “With Minister Bar Cho?”

“ah! “Is it those people?”

“Has it become a story?”

“Yes, Prime Minister. Korea said our security was too lax and said they would look after it from the outskirts. So I said yes, but I had no idea they would protect me like this.”

“I see.”

Only then did Aung San nod his head and turn to Major Choi.

“Thanks to this, it saved my life. Thank you sincerely.”

“no. But the Prime Minister’s security is still very lax. The situation is urgent and it will be difficult for our agents to find out who is behind it as they are responding quickly. We will need to reinforce security. “The people who did this will definitely try again.”

“All right. Could you please train our bodyguards? “As you can see, our bodyguards have no experience with this.”

In fact, among the bodyguards who were injured, there was even a young man in his late teens.

Because of this, it seemed that proper security would be difficult even if the number of personnel was increased.

“it’s possible. “If you give me permission, I will teach you well.”

“Thank you. ha ha ha! “It looks like Burma and Korea are truly trying to become allies.”

“ha ha ha!”

“ha ha ha!”

All of the surviving cabinet members heaved a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude to the Special Forces agents.

I know that without them, we would all be dead today.

And in this way, the Republic of Korea secured an alliance in Southeast Asia following Vietnam.

June 17, 1947.

Above 200km west of Hawaii.

Wooooow!

A C-27J transport plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

“Minister, are you okay?”

“This level of flight is still okay. why? Are you having a hard time?”

“cadet! “It’s all good for me to serve the Minister, but this frequent flight schedule is really difficult.”

Director Park Jae-seung, who had suddenly become like Kim Gyu-sik’s henchman, screamed.

Kim Gyu-sik was mentally and physically exhausted from traveling on a business trip by plane every day.

“ha ha ha! How could a young person die with just this much? When I was… … .”

“… … .”

When Kim Gyu-sik started talking about ‘latte’, Jaeseung Park wanted to punch himself in the mouth.

Because I accidentally brought up the topic and made Kim Gyu-sik talk about old times.

A quick transition was needed.

“Kya! As I take a boat to the United States, the vast sea spreads out endlessly… … .”

“Minister! Minister!”

“huh? why?”

“Hey, I have a question.”

“Something?”

“When we go to New York this time, representatives of the Soviet Union and the Republic of China will also come, right?”

“They decided to become members of the United Nations, so of course they will come. “The Republic of China understands that He Ying-qin (Ha Ng-heum. 何應欽) is coming.”

“You know Representative He Yingqin well, right?”

“It’s not that good, but we still get to know each other quite a bit. He is someone who treated our Provisional Government not too badly. He also attended the founding ceremony of the Liberation Army, and he was the one who released the nine military orders that were restricting our Liberation Army. Of course, he was the one who restricted it in the first place. One way or another, President Jang must have ordered it.”

Korean Liberation Army wins 9 places.

In relation to the Korean Liberation Army established by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea at the Chinese Military Commission Office in November 1941, it refers to nine articles that subordinated and restricted the Liberation Army to the Chinese Nationalist Party in exchange for providing military aid.

However, the content is truly miserable.

This was inevitable because the liberation army could only operate within the borders of China.

I didn’t have anything.

As a result, there was no way that the nine semi-finalists unilaterally notified would be good.

The Provisional Government was not allowed to intervene, and even if the liberation army crossed the Yalu River, it had to receive instructions from the Chinese Nationalist Military Commission.

In the end, it was not until August 1944 that this restriction was lifted, and only then did the Liberation Army become directly under the Provisional Government and were able to engage in various activities.

“Then wouldn’t it be a bit uncomfortable to see? “The Chinese Nationalist government has a very unfavorable view of our country, right?”

“It will be difficult to face you with a good face. “In their minds, they will think of us, the Republic of Korea, as people who return favors with vengeance.”

“These guys are crazy. “They said they did something for me.”

“It does exist. It’s humiliating and they look way below their level. In any case, it is thankful that the Provisional Government was able to maintain its existence.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. “I think that Heo Ying-chan will behave badly again when he meets the Minister.”

“ha ha ha! That doesn’t matter. What can they do? In any case, the relationship between countries is completely based on the logic of power. Even if he behaves a little rudely, it’s okay to just ignore him. “Because they are the ones who are in urgent need.”

“You said thank you?”

“This person, what you are thankful for is what you are thankful for, and what is public is public. Have they contributed to our independence at all just because I personally appreciate it? In other words, wasn’t our country’s independence solely due to your expeditionary force?”

“Hehehe, that’s true.”

“Then they have nothing to say. So, whatever they say, just ignore it. “It’s fine with us if we commit diplomatic indiscretion on our own.”

“I understand, Minister.”

Even while they were talking, the transport plane continued to fly east.
