Dear Comrade Leader Episode 274
“… … .”
At Jeonghwan’s request, McCain over the phone remained silent for a moment.
The party executives who were present at the reaction of the US president who did not speak katabuta were restless with tense and bewildered expressions on their faces, but Jeonghwan was calm, as if he already knew what McCain would answer.
Finally, McCain answered Jung-hwan’s request.
And the answer was the answer that Junghwan himself expected of course.
“… … Now, does that mean that wanting to join Five Eyes is why North Korea accepted Edward Snowden’s asylum? General Secretary? To use it as a means of pressure in our negotiations?”
“You can say it is, but if you listen a little more… … .”
“I have nothing to listen to. I can give you an answer right here, without having to discuss this with your cabinet or aides. The answer is NO.”
“… … !!”
At McCain’s resolute declaration, the faces of the executives hardened all at once, and Jeonghwan kept his mouth shut for a moment.
He cut the ties of negotiations without listening to the end from the other side.
“The basis of diplomacy is that an alliance between countries, especially an alliance with a common enemy, is based on trust built over a long period of time, shared values, and above all, common interests and national interests. The actions that North Korea and the general secretary are showing us now are far from those virtues.”
“… … .”
“Above all, we, the United States of America, never form an alliance with a hostage-taking, low-level threat or tyranny. Not to mention sharing information. To be honest, I don’t know how General Secretary Kim, who is being hailed as a leader of the century and an investor, came up with such a sleepy thought.”
McCain’s statement of the reason for the refusal as it was not worth further thought was reasonable for anyone to hear.
To tell the truth, most of the executives present, even Jang Seong-taek, deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, could not help but think that Jung-hwan threw an irrational number that was difficult to comprehend this time.

Not surprisingly, Five Eyes was not just a group of nations that could be summed up in the word “Allies of the United States”.Five Eyes is not simply a temporary alliance based on the unity of national interest or interests, but the word of a community of destiny that can perfectly coexist with the United States in the linguistic, cultural, and ethnic background of English-Christian-Anglo-Saxon is never exaggerated. This is not a gathering of countries.
Literally, a clan among clan that supports the US hegemony in the world and can sometimes play a part in it.
The gathering of such countries is Five Eyes, and from the Korean War to the Vietnam War, even South Korea, which claims to be America’s most reliable diplomatic ally and desires in its heart, is unable to afford it. I’m guessing it’s only been 20 years.
Of course, although there is the necessity of being the most important position to contain China, which is growing day by day, and the minimum historical ties that they fought together in the Gulf War, North Korea’s intention to join Five Eyes is absurd and ignorant.
And as McCain felt this sentiment, his voice now contained even a mockery as if admonishing a child.
“You are not ashamed, General Secretary. The backstreet gangsters of Chicago wouldn’t do this to take advantage of the weak points of their allies and make the same threats while wishing for better diplomatic treatment and priorities. No, apart from the morality of this act, did you decide that such a trick would really work? To be honest, I’m confused as to which of the general secretary’s morality or the ability to perceive reality is more serious… … .”
“Haha, isn’t that something you should be ashamed of, President McCain? On the surface, the United States is a defender of world freedom and democracy, and while looking at China and Russia as a human rights oppressor, they criticize all kinds of things, but in fact, American intelligence agencies have been conducting illegal wiretapping, domestic and foreign. But now the head of such a country is going to teach me a lesson about morals?”
“… … !!”
“According to Mr. Snowden, we know that the People’s Republic of Korea, and especially my secretary’s office, were also subject to the eavesdropping of the Prism program, but of course they never succeeded. Shouldn’t the words to be addressed to me immediately be apologies, not accusations that seem to deal with sinners?”
On the contrary, when Jeonghwan raised his voice, Jang Seong-taek was the representative, and the faces of the party officials became pale and tired of white.
What are you doing now, even if you promise to send Snowden back in a slingshot immediately after apologizing to the leader of the strongest country outraged for this cheeky behavior?

No, you’re right, but do you really think that the president of the United States will accept such an ignorant petition in this world?Is it possible that the relationship with the U.S. has already been broken, and now it is in a state of being as it should be?
Could it be that their supreme dignity suddenly became unrealistic anti-Americanism as they grew older?
Jang Seong-taek, who was engulfed in such anxieties, suddenly turned around and found something he had never expected and changed his expression.
What was unexpected was the expression on the face of Prime Minister Kim Yong-geon, who was so calm that Jang Seong-taek’s head was filled with question marks.
I thought that Kim Yong-geon, who can be said to be the chief diplomatic officer, would be most restless in this catastrophic situation, but Jang Sung-taek could not understand why he was so calm.
Is there something you don’t know about?
However, regardless of Jang Seong-taek’s thoughts, McCain was unexpectedly silent for a moment at Jung-hwan’s criticism.
Although the people sitting in the secretary’s office in Pyongyang didn’t know about it, Jung-hwan’s remarks just momentarily stimulated McCain’s emotional resentment toward the Prism Program, an illegal wiretapping program from the last time.
It was because McCain, who was more sensitive to the protection of ‘American’ rights and freedom than anyone else, heard Junghwan’s words as harsh criticism.
-If you open your mouth, you cry out for freedom and freedom on a fictional day, accusing Russia, China, and even North Korea of being human rights violators without people’s rights. Do you have the right to accuse us of being immoral in running it and protecting Snowden from exposing it?
“And, according to Mr. Snowden, not only me and North Korea, but also the heads of other countries such as France, Germany, and South Korea seem to have failed to avoid this prism program, and I wonder if they are aware of this as well.”
“… … .”
“The next second exposure will contain the content of exposing such acts of betrayal to our allies, and we, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as a victim of this prism program, received Mr. Edward Snowden, a witness and a good people who voluntarily requested political asylum. only given. You mentioned a friend in the back of the head earlier, but please ask yourself who hit the back of the head first, President.”
At Jeonghwan’s interrogation, there was once again silence on the hotline across the Pacific Ocean.
Party officials, including Jang Sung-taek, tilted their heads as to whether they thought, ‘I don’t know why the realist general secretary is suddenly mentioning such an arrogant moral rhyme.’
A more brazen politician might sneer at him saying that he sounds like a white student who doesn’t know the harsh reality of the international society that thoroughly returns to the logic of power, but McCain still didn’t say anything and remained silent for about 30 seconds.
And finally, John McCain, the 44th President of the United States, spoke in a tone that had subdued excitement and anger, and in a voice that seemed much heavier than before.
“… … Clearly, there is an aspect of our fault in the general secretary’s such accusation. I apologize.”
“Is that an official U.S. government apology? Or is it President McCain’s personal apology?”
“… … But to make an excuse, General Secretary. Are there any countries that do not conduct such data collection practices? I can assure you that the countries that are affected are also France, Germany, Korea, Israel… … Even our allies like this don’t have the ability, but they will be full of intentions to do so. He clearly has the ability to see what is happening in the office of a foreign leader’s office and to pursue the national interest in the short and long term by taking the information advantage. … … At least as a leader in the real world.”
John Sidney McCain III is clearly a realist Republican who puts America’s national interests and values first and believes that even the most immoral means, such as the assassination of extremists, are acceptable to defend them.
However, if it is an enemy country, it is shameless enough to feel no shame about the attempts to wiretap the leaders of a friendly country, or to deliberately ignore the fact that such an act is a self-defense that goes against the ‘freedom’ and ‘American values’ that the Republicans of the United States love so much. He wasn’t even a hypocrite human.
In other words, right now, he was making excuses for Jeonghwan as he just said.
“When I took office as President, I made an oath to put the national interest ahead of my personal moral code. Above all, don’t you know that in the international community, enemies, friends, and blood alliances are never eternal? If I can find out what they are up to, and when they are plotting betrayal and intrigue against the United States, I must find out.”
“… … .”
“If it sounds like self-rationalization, there is nothing you can do about it. However, if General Secretary Kim had been in my position, he would have made the same decision as me and the former presidents who operated and directed this Prism program. And, as I say here in advance, the United States of America and our Five Eyes allies have no desire to give up that strategic advantage for moral reasons.”
“That word… … .”
“The NSA’s signal intelligence gathering system, including the Prism program, will continue to operate. In addition, anyone who interferes with the operation of the program, exposes, denounces, or otherwise interferes with the intelligence-gathering activities of our American intelligence community in any way will be subject to commensurate action. This is my official position as President of the United States of America.”
“welcome. It was the answer I wanted to hear.”
“… … !?”
Haeyeon was surprised by Junghwan’s answer, which was like a fat calf, and not only McCain, but also the majority of the executives gathered in the secretary’s office.

Now, on Jeonghwan’s face, even a handmade faint smile appeared.“I fully agree with President McCain. If you don’t have that kind of ability, you don’t know, if you do, you have to use it. Isn’t it? That is the reason why our Republic wants to join Five Eyes.”
“General Secretary, as I said before, that is absurd and impossible. Even if I accept that offer, even if it’s one in a thousand, even if I accept the offer, the Senate Intelligence Committee, no, my aides and ministers will immediately question my judgment… … .”
“Don’t worry, President. Soon, we will show proof that the People’s Republic of Korea is qualified to join Five Eyes at the upcoming G20 meeting in Tokyo. And I can assure you that this is also the case, and the President will be moved if you listen to the conditions we offer.”
“how… … .”
“In a few months, you will naturally find out. Then I’ll see you there.”
After ending the call with McCain in an almost light tone, Jeonghwan put down the receiver and thought.

Now that I’ve beaten the whip enough to beat it, it’s time to squeeze the carrot and coax it.And right after Jeonghwan put down the receiver, Kim Yong-geon got a few words from one of the secretaries waiting outside the secretary’s office, and then approached Jeonghwan and reported the matter.
“Comrade General Secretary, I just received a call from Beijing. You must have seen the revelations of Comrade Snowden.”
“It’s a rough guess, but tell me. What?”
“We, the People’s Republic of China, as a long-standing blood alliance of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, are also comrades on the front line fighting to protect the people’s freedom and anonymity in cyberspace… … blah blah… … . To summarize, it seems that they also want to play a part in this matter. It sounds like the Chinese ambassador has made a very strong request to invite Snowden to Beijing.”
“As expected. My answer is simple. Please tell them clearly, ‘Don’t put a spoon on it if you have no work.’ Of course, I have to go back and say it.”
