Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 306
Jeonghwan and all the executives in the hall focused on the owner of the voice.
That person was Baek Seung-cheol, the second lieutenant in the Korean People’s Army.
“Are you serious, hundred degrees? To say that an armed clash may occur is to say that the People’s Liberation Army and the Korean People’s Army are aiming their guns at each other. I believe that you know best how powerful the People’s Liberation Army is, but if you answered that way to show your loyalty to the current situation… … .”
“I heard from Comrade General Secretary about 20 years ago that the biggest enemy of our People’s Army in the future will be the Chinese, not the South Koreans or the US imperialists. And over the next 20 years or so, did I not see with my own eyes that the prophecy of the comrade became true? More than anything… … .”
After taking a deep breath, Baek Seung-cheol, who spoke up to this point, lit up his eyes with a look that combined confidence and fighting spirit.
The days when he was too reckless because he was too ambitious had passed, and he was now half-white with his hair gray and gray, but for now, he seemed to have returned to his ambitious youth.
“As a result of sharpening the blade of indiscretion over the past 20 years, the Korean People’s Army is no longer an army trained by high-ranking warriors plowing fields and military officers shooting with their mouths as in the past. The 350,000 Korean People’s Army is ready to throw up one’s body to protect the interests and dignity of this republic at any time given an order by a comrade.”
“… … Thank you.”
Jeonghwan’s answer was short, but it was full of complex emotions that could not be expressed in words, such as feelings of surprise, gratitude, trust, etc.
Following Baek Seung-cheol’s determination, the next person to nod decisively was Kim Yong-geon.
“There is a famous saying among diplomats since ancient times. “A country that loves war perishes early, but a nation that fears war perishes sooner.” Conflicts with great powers such as China should be avoided as much as possible, but such an act of blatantly infringing upon the core interests of the republic cannot be overlooked for the sake of the independence and dignity of the nation.”
“So do I. I don’t know much about tactics or diplomacy, but if you have to fight anyway, it’s best to fight when you have a chance.”
Even Hyun Young-suk nodded, and there was only one person left among the remaining members of the Central Committee.
And there was an indescribable tension in the gaze of the left toward the one remaining, Jang Seong-taek.
Soon, Jeonghwan’s mouth opened and the question in question came out.
“… … What do you think of Comrade Jang? In fact, Deputy Director Jang was the person I wanted to hear the most about on this matter… … .”
“… … comrade. Are you sure that conflict with the Chinese will be unavoidable? If it is now, it may not be too late. There may not be any confirmation from the other side yet… … .”
“That is a stupid question. Ask yourself, Deputy Chief Jang. Even if we make a unilateral concession to China in this case, do you sincerely think that the DPRK-China relations will be restored to what it was before?”
“… … .”
Jang Seong-taek kept his mouth shut to Jung-hwan’s question and remained silent, but anyone could quickly see that the answer to that question was negative.
Jung-hwan also thought so, so he continued without waiting for Jang Seong-taek’s answer.
“Even if you put glue on the broken pottery and put it back together, the gold will still remain. So is the relationship with China. As long as the Chinese side once knew that we were greedy in Yanbian, we cannot return to the friendship we had with them for ever and ever, even if we only had suspicions about it. In the meantime, I’ve been to Beijing as often as Prime Minister Kim did to settle this situation and explain our position, so wouldn’t Vice-Chairman Jang know best that the atmosphere is already changing?”
“… … That’s right, but… … .”
“Actually, I don’t need any proof. It is one of two things: either completely submissive and never look at Yanbian for the rest of your life, and become a de facto satellite state, or fight and defend independence. Especially in a government like the Boshi Rai regime that hides its true situation and is concerned about patriotism and expansionism as regulars.”
“… … .”
“I guarantee you, if you bow your head this time, the People’s Liberation Army base will be stationed in Pyongyang very soon. So that I can’t dare to do anything else again. And there will be no second chance to resist.”
Once again, there was tension in the hall at Jeonghwan’s assertion.
Everyone on the left was acutely aware of the storm they were facing right now.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is finally at a crossroads where it has to choose between a satellite state or an independent and independent state.
And the person in question, Jang Seong-taek… … .
“… … If you’re up for it, I’ve been there too. If there is no other option, we have no choice but to fight.”
“Thank you.”
“But, I had to persuade him until the very end. The election of Comrade Ri Seop-gi and the people’s representatives of the Tumangang Rivers is not yet certain… … On the Chinese side, there is clearly a moderate group, led by President Hu Jintao, who does not want to clash with the Republic. They still have a lot of domestic problems, from the Afghan front to the people’s sentiments and the economic situation, but the Chinese won’t want to go there until they even go with our republic.”
“… … so? What do you want to say?”
“I met the person over there one last time in Yanbian and tried to make contact under the water. Please allow it.”
“… … .”
Jeonghwan frowned and looked into Jang Sung-taek’s eyes with a conflicted expression.

Normally, he would have refused by saying, ‘Let’s have a conversation on the phone in Korea’, but Jang Seong-taek’s words were certainly true.Besides, at that moment, the faces of other Politburo members came into his sight.
More than half of them were prepared for a decisive battle and were hardening their faces with the determination to fight for necessity. why?’ He was looking at him and Jang Sung-taek alternately with a frightened expression.
Jeonghwan sighed and waved his hand at the desperate expression on their faces, ‘Please, let’s try one last tap!’
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha For a long time, it was a dizzying thing for Junghwan himself, who is convinced that if he doesn’t fight this time he will have to surrender forever.
“… … Good. However, schedule and contact progress are reported directly to me on a half-day basis. I’ll lend you my private plane, so I’ll ride it and accompany the Special Security Service agents.”
“Is there a possibility?”
Jang Seong-taek felt that Jeong-hwan was suspicious of him until the very end, but he bowed his head deeply, expressing his gratitude to his general secretary for fear that such feelings would be exposed.
Because he had already made up his mind after the last time.
On the same day that the four major tasks were completed, the Politburo meeting, which was completely different from Pyongyang, which had a festive atmosphere, came to an end.
A few weeks later, the long-awaited first administrative unit elections were finally held in Yanbian to elect the first people’s representatives.
And unlike other regions in China, such as Hong Kong, where only candidates suited to the communist party’s taste were elected, the result was that more than half of the pro-Korean candidates were the pro-Korean candidates despite all-out interference by the public security authorities and the Jilin and autonomous provincial governments. He swept the spot and won a landslide victory.
Even before the result that a pro-Chinese candidate would take over even Ando-hyeon, one of the two prefectures in Yanbian and a short distance from Mt. Baekdu, a video of a self-governing state public security raiding the voting booth and taking away a ballot box was broadcast live on social media. happened until it happened.
Although it was immediately blocked by the General Bureau of Photoelectricity, the video had already been copied countless times and spread across the Chinese border via Union Server to North Korea, South Korea, and the rest of the world.
In any case, unlike other regions in China, where announcements were made like a stream of water, on the day when the elected candidates should be announced at the end of these events, who should elect a representative who will reflect the voice of the people at the smallest administrative unit and represent the local people’s sentiments at the Beijing Central Party. In Yanbian Korean-Chinese Autonomous Prefecture, there was no news.
After a week, this week, the people of Yanbian flocked to the township office as a group to say whether it was necessary to inform them of the outcome.
‘For the time being, certain crime warnings have been issued in Yanbian, so gatherings of more than 20 people are prohibited for any reason, and you must go home after 8 pm.’
Disappointment, frustration, and despair over the future overflowed the streets of Yanbian.
And it didn’t take long for disappointment to anger and frustration to rebellion.
The pro-Chinese peoples of Yanbian, not only Korean-Chinese, but also North Koreans, mixed Koreans, and even mixed Han Chinese, gathered together in anger and began to form a crowd.

Now, for the first time in the history of Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture, the curtain of a large-scale rebellion has begun to rise.* * *
Bang–!!!!
“Comrades! Take a look at this now! Let’s take a look at Yanbian’s situation now! That’s why I didn’t tell you several times from the beginning that Kim Jung-hwan and the traitors in Joseon should have mobilized the army to beat them hard so that they wouldn’t think otherwise!”
In Beidaihe, Beijing, President Bo Shilai was yelling at other members of the Politburo’s Standing Committee.
Obviously, one of the people in this place was a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but none of them dared to open their mouth.
Only President Hu Jintao showed a slight discomfort and spoke in a tone of advice to Bo Boi.
“Comrade commentary. Even so, it is a little bit drastic to polarize the relationship with Chosun at a time when the domestic economic situation is difficult and people’s dissatisfaction is growing as it is now… … .”
“Anyone can see that the evidence that Joseon has had a different mind in Yanbian for a long time is not so clear! So, is it possible that Kim Jeong-hwan has been pouring dollars into Yanbian for so long because the poor economy of our three northeast provinces is so pitiful? Now that I am listening to what my comrades have to say, I doubt whether this means that we should put our hands and wait for the sacred territory of the Chinese people to diminish!”
Hu Jintao, who had stopped talking to Bo Bo Lai, who was younger than him, kept his mouth shut for a moment with a displeased expression, but soon opened his mouth again, paying attention to the other members of the standing committee.

Now, the power struggle with Bo Bo Lai is not the problem, but a situation that has to be stopped even for the sake of China.“Comrade comment! It has been said since ancient times that a two-sided war is a shortcut to the destruction of a country. Didn’t that mighty Nazi Germany end up ruined by starting a war with the Soviet Union while it was not able to completely conquer Europe? Right now, the Afghan front cannot be considered completely cleared up, and Hong Kong is still in the midst of protests centered on kiddos asking whether it is Joshua or something, and the only countries around us that are sure to be our allies are Pakistan and Korea.
