Episode 90. The Beginning of a New Cold War Structure

Caroline de Rothschild.

She was sitting by the window, lost in thought, waiting for someone.

The person Rothschild has put forward as a replacement for Shi Jin-chang this time is Chao Le-ji, who was called Shi Jin-chang’s sword.

Among the four closest aides to Xi Jinping, the number one was Li Changjun, who was Xi Jinping’s former chief of staff, but he was judged not to be a person with the strength to firmly push for war.

That’s why Caroline chose Chaoruji as her next successor.

Although he lacks the role of a leader, he is a person with a rather belligerent disposition, as his nickname suggests.

Therefore, in a situation like the present, it was certain that they would try to completely collapse the opposing camp even at the risk of war, so it was reasonable to appoint him as the most suitable person for the job.

In fact, the most important issue now is not who to appoint as the successor to the Chinese government, because the war with Taiwan was completely out of the question in the first place.

How to intervene in the internal divisions within the Chinese Communist Party has become a top priority.

Crunch.

While she was lost in thought, she heard the door open.

The person who came in this time is none other than President Joe Bryden.

He looked the same as before, but there was a very subtle difference. His expression was a little more relaxed.

It meant that his attitude toward Rothschild had changed, even if only slightly.

The two exchanged greetings as before.

“Things don’t seem to be going so well.”

Joe Bryden got his start first.

“We cannot do God’s providence according to our human will. In the end, nothing will change.”

“Hmm… Of course. But I think there will be big changes in the process.”

Caroline felt uncomfortable with President Brydon’s sarcastic remarks, but the smile on her face did not disappear.

“As China’s internal civil war is unfolding, we, the United States, have no justification for intervention. At best, we can only say something about the world economy and hope that China will soon find peace. We cannot participate in a war without a justification. Just like the past world wars.”

President Bryden may have meant to say that clear reasons for going to war were inevitable, but unfortunately he chose the wrong metaphor.

“You can make up a pretext. Just like the past world wars you mentioned.”

Caroline answered with a smile.

Her remarks implied that Rothschild had been involved in justifying America’s involvement in World War II.

President Brydon was made to realize once again just how far the Rothschilds’ power extends.

“Not only that. In the past, the whole of Europe was engulfed in war, but unfortunately, things are different now. If the United States of America goes into war while ignoring the world’s public opinion and gaze, there will be no country that will support the United States. On the contrary, it will be criticized.”

It was a fact that Caroline also knew well.

The situation in China where a civil war was taking place made it difficult for the Rothschilds to exert influence because no one had a justification for intervention.

But the Rothschilds she leads cannot stop here. If they just wait and see China, there is no guarantee that they will be able to control them again in the future.

This is especially impossible because of the existence of the PDC. They were already in a situation where they were directly involved in this war.

“The family’s goals remain unchanged. Does this mean that President Bryden opposes our wishes?”

Caroline spoke with deliberate weight. She was putting pressure on President Brydon.

At those words, President Brydon had no choice but to take a step back. He was not yet at the level where he could directly oppose Rothschild.

“How could that be? I just meant that we have to be more careful since we are doing things without any cooperation from the world.”

“I understand the President’s concerns. That is why the current government in Hong Kong will be a government friendly to our liberal camp.”

Certainly, it would be more so than the government led by Shi Jin-chang. They were more interested in economic development to begin with, and thus fell out of favor with Rothschild.

“Hmm… Then I will also try to establish policies in that direction.”

Caroline smiled at President Brydon’s answer.

“It’s going to take a lot of preparation. One cumbersome variable has already brought about so many changes.”

If there was one variable that was the biggest right now, it was PDC’s Android.

It is not clear whether they first proposed to sell or whether the Hong Kong regime first proposed to buy, but in any case, it is safe to say that the current situation has led to internal divisions within China.

“I know that. But it seems like South Korea is worried about its relationship with North Korea and is considering discussing it with the United States for quite some time.”

South Korea’s attitude has been changing seriously these days. It could be seen as something that is extremely damaging to one’s pride.

No matter how much North Korea has grown, they dare to compare it to the United States.

In other words, President Bryden was asking whether it would be possible to proceed without South Korea.

Caroline was lost in thought for a moment after hearing that story.

South Korea was a card that was too valuable for her to throw away. In reality, it was closer to the Rothschild card than South Korea itself.

In any case, the Ohseong Group in South Korea was raised as another means to replace the Japanese who harbor other intentions whenever they get the chance.

It was Rothschild who provided the opportunity and foundation for Oseong to enter the American market.

The value that helped us grow into a global company. We were still able to receive that much.

“It’s unfortunate, but we have to give them a choice. Which path to choose.”

Ultimately, the choice is that of Kang Moo-jin, the current president of South Korea.

If they go the wrong way, it will be a bit troublesome, but we can just interfere in South Korean politics later, and if they go the same way as us, we don’t have to put in any special effort, so that’s a good thing in itself.

Joe Brydon has made an official statement following his secret meeting with Caroline.

Click. Click.

Joe Bryden stood at the podium in front of a crowd of reporters.

“We are now facing great chaos. At times like these, the world must come together as one and learn to peacefully resolve the problem so that the chaos does not recur.”

“Bryden said as if he was aiming at someone,” he said.

“The world economy is already showing signs of a panic. This suggests how disastrous a split in China would be for us.”

As China’s internal problems made it difficult to enter and exit the country, the demand and supply in the global market that the Chinese market had been handling were rapidly decreasing.

The war hasn’t even broken out yet, and it’s already like this, so it’s impossible to know how things will get worse during the war.

“We, the United States, hope that China’s internal problems will end peacefully as soon as possible, and we will not hesitate to provide any support to that end.”

President Bryden hinted that he might veer into China affairs.

“Also, any actions that seek to take advantage of this global crisis as if it were an opportunity must stop, and the United States will appropriately impose sanctions on this as well.”

And he did not forget to mention the indirect criticism of the PDC.

-China “This has nothing to do with the US… Stern warning not to interfere in internal affairs”

The current Chinese government has sent a warning message to the United States, telling it not to comment on China’s internal affairs any longer. It has also warned the Communist Youth League regime that has illegally occupied all of Hong Kong, “If you do not immediately stop military action, we will not sit idly by.”

He also stressed that neighboring countries should make wise choices, and in particular, he asserted that PDC, which sold Android to the Communist regime, would “take necessary measures in accordance with Chinese law,” and stated that strong sanctions would be imposed on its activities in China… .

South Korea’s President Kang Moo-jin looked over the articles and held his head in pain.

The threat from China didn’t feel like much of a blow as China’s internal problems were pressing at the time, but the US’s demands made things very difficult.

Although it did not mention it directly, the United States was using Japan as a front to criticize North Korea’s current actions and force it to take its side.

However, Kang Mu-jin has been raising his own collapsed approval rating in the name of unification and Asian union.

I didn’t have the confidence that I could successfully complete my remaining term, so I gave up that advantage right away.

However, if you do not abandon it, your political position will be greatly reduced. This is because there are quite a few politicians who have direct or indirect relationships with the United States and Japan.

Since the president is elected for a single term, people think they can live comfortably after their term ends, but that is only possible if they finish their term well. Otherwise, they become targets of political retaliation.

“Hmm… .”

While President Kang Moo-jin was in deep thought, the chief of staff came into his office.

“What’s going on?”

“North Korea also issued an emergency official statement.”

“Really? What is it about?”

In response to Kang Mu-jin’s question, the chief secretary hurriedly came over and sat down in front of Kang Mu-jin.

“The basic framework is neutrality. We have announced that we will not engage in any diplomatic intervention in China.”

“Is that so? What about the PDC?”

That was the most important part. The part that was problematic in relation to North Korea’s actions was ultimately the android military sold by North Korea’s PDC.

In response to President Kang Moo-jin’s question, the chief of staff lifted the tablet.

“PDC’s commercial activities can be defined as autonomous commercial activities because they do not violate any laws of the authorities. However, PDC must bear the responsibility for not complying with relevant laws and regulations within China,” he said.

“So that means there are no intentions of punishment within North Korea.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

That’s right. It is estimated that at least 100,000 Android sales contracts have been signed, which is worth at least 10 trillion won in Korean currency.

The minimum profit is said to be that much, but the actual estimated amount is expected to be several times that amount.

It may not be a huge amount to gain by enduring Chinese threats, but China has no real threat to pose to North Korea in this dire situation.

Of course, there is a possibility that North Korea could lose the huge market of China in one fell swoop, as we do not know what the outcome of internal conflict in China will be in the future.

“I’m jealous… .”

Kang Mu-jin felt envious of Kim Cheol-ryeong’s easygoing decision.

Kang Mu-jin was thinking that Kim Cheol-ryeong should reveal his position after discussing it with the Asian allies and Bryden, but he ended up releasing a statement on his own.

Is this the advantage of dictatorship? It seems like they push their own will without caring about anyone’s opinion.

I’m not sure how I’m going to handle the aftermath if something goes wrong later though.

“…yes?”

The chief secretary asked if he had heard Kang Mu-jin muttering in envy.

“No. I think the Chinese side also raised issues with us regarding the PDC.”

“Yes, I did request that sanctions be imposed on the PDC’s domestic activities….”

“Is that what you’re saying nonsense? Fortunately, it’s been a while since it became a North Korean company, so please tell the Chinese embassy separately that you are not responsible for that part.”

Since I didn’t think it was something that should be announced as an official statement, I decided it would be right to just leave it at that level of a hint.

“Okay, then when do you plan on making an official statement?”

The issue that will determine the most important direction of foreign policy at this point in time.

Of course, a statement could only be issued if the president clearly indicates the direction of national diplomacy.

“Hmm… I don’t think we’ll be able to reach a conclusion on that today.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The chief secretary answered forcefully, but his heart was not like that.

Because he had to personally handle all the inquiries that came into the presidential office.

But even as Kang Mu-jin, there is nothing he can do.

North Korea has declared complete neutrality in any case, and the United States has been secretly showing the possibility of intervention, so sufficient thought was needed to decide on a clear course of action.
