176 – In this case, it is good to unify opinions
News of a rebellion that suddenly began to be heard.
The story of the so-called ‘3rd Liaodong Conquest Preparation Army’, who was guarding the border, going south on a massive scale was, of course, enough to turn the entire military department upside down.
“What the hell is this about? Rebellion under these circumstances!”
“It is impossible. How could the people who were waiting for the Yodong conquest, not other units, suddenly…”
Generals and high-ranking officials who show deep bewilderment.
However, those who had warned of the danger of the situation all the time spoke in a voice full of irritation as if it were natural.
“Suddenly not the same thing! Wasn’t it common sense that support and control for the Liaodong Conquest Army hadn’t been done at all?”
“This is a fact that has been predicted for a long time! So why haven’t you talked about it? Even so, fighting over supplies was too much!”
“Do you think the suspension of leave and transfer approval for soldiers was not excessive? With this incident, they are always accusing only us of being at fault, but to be honest, this incident is also your fault!”
“According to the story, the decisive reason why the soldiers rose up in earnest was that the rice that went to supply was mixed with sand and gravel! Do you see that this is not the biggest cause of your fault?”
“Didn’t you tell me! We never sent anything like that! No matter how much it is in the midst of a political war, there is no reason to provoke the soldiers by doing such crazy things!”
“I don’t know, maybe a foolish person in the Lee family who still can’t figure out the situation led this.”
“These bastards… dare to insult us?”
A general belonging to an emerging force who speaks with a sneer on his lips.
Regarding this, the faces of the members of the Lee family began to show deep anger.
Rumors about the Lee family are exaggerating in real time and inflating beyond control.
In the midst of this, of course, this incident only made the situation worse.
The news that a rebellion broke out due to the Lee family’s actions in a situation that was not good, naturally stirred public opinion.
Soldiers filming sacks of rice covered with sand and gravel, or making rice with rice that has been filtered out of foreign substances anyway, because there is nothing to eat in the middle of it.
In particular, among them, those who usually had considerable influence as YouTubers, videos of the so-called Morebap tasting reviews were uploaded centering on those in front of them, and as it spread like crazy on the Internet, public opinion was going to the worst.
I don’t know anything else, but it was because it was a matter that they could sympathize with enough to play with food like that.
Although since the invasion of the Abyss, as the military actually seized the thread of this country, large-scale protests or violent protests did not occur as before, but nevertheless, public opinion that can be seen with the eyes cannot be ignored.
Even in this unprecedented situation of a military coup of over 100,000 soldiers, most of the citizens ‘deserved’. It was a huge burden for them just to show their reaction.
It meant that even if the worst happened, there would be no social and psychological shields to protect them.
However, in this regard, the people of the Lee family, who were in charge of logistics, had their own things to say.
Even if we exclude the excuse of a power struggle, one thing can be said clearly.
It was… that they were not the ones who sent the rice in question.
Although, it was certainly true that the Lee family had committed all sorts of corruption, including various corruptions.
Beings who have been doing things like inciting people or removing someone in order to maintain power are too routine.
But… even so, they weren’t fools.
In the confrontation situation like this, the Lee family was trying to reduce as much as possible the actions that could trigger anger,
Even with the opinion that there is a high possibility of a problem if it continues as it is, there is an opinion to provide at least food support, and sooner or later there is room for compromise on the issue.
However, the so-called ‘sand rice’ incident that suddenly occurred in this situation was no different from being hit in the back of the head from their point of view.
No matter how corrupt and corrupt they were, they were not foolish enough to do such crazy things.
I’d rather not send supplies.
At most, they knew how great their anger would be if the condition of the supplies was worse than not being received.
However, someone did the work, and now they are trapped between two walls: the angry army and the sympathy of the people.
So, even though they felt resentful, they couldn’t actively explain it, because in order to explain this accurately, they had to go over the fundamental problem of why they didn’t send supplies until now.
As part of the power struggle, they were delaying the supply line going up to the north as much as possible, so even showing them to the world is no different from being self-sufficient.
In that respect, at this time, the people of the Lee family felt a great sense of crisis and were doing their best to find out who had put them in such trouble, but there was no big gain.
The people who carried out the work literally left no evidence of who they were, leaving only a supply box very neatly without rumors, and did not have the energy to dig deep into this matter now that the coup had occurred in the first place. to be.
However, although they failed to find physical evidence, the Lee family could already guess who the guys who planned this thing were mentally.
‘Of course.. Needless to say, the guys who plotted this are those new powers in front of our eyes, but…’
‘Damn it… Doing this dirty thing just because we have the logistical rights? Don’t they know that they are also at high risk of getting hurt?’
‘The foolish guys who got lucky by chance, they ruined everything!’
In fact, it was quite possible considering the rough and immature moves of the emerging powers that did not know anything about compromise.
However, at the point where there was no clear evidence, and in a situation where a large army was coming down aiming at them, there was no time to waste time with this.
As this thought was the same for the Lee family, the emerging faction, and the neutral faction, they had no choice but to join forces while temporarily stopping the pointless fighting.
“Now is not the time to argue who did something wrong. The problem is that even at this time, a large army of 100,000 angry towards us is coming down with strides.”
“Why don’t you send supplies right now? In addition, generously distributing reward vacations, etc..”
“Do you think that will stop them? If you stop in a situation where you’ve already drawn the sword of a coup, they won’t know what will happen after that.”
Rebellion against the state is always something that must be started at the risk of one’s life, so the authors would not have started their work with clumsy determination.
Moreover, it could be said that this situation was already impossible to solve in words, given that this incident was not simply because of sand, but because of the dissatisfaction that had accumulated over the years.
“Even if we negotiate, it will be possible only after we have dampened their momentum once. In that respect, you have to be prepared to crash once in a while.”
“Well… I can’t be suffering like this.”
Normally, they couldn’t help but disagree, but when the situation in which their lives came and went came in front of their eyes, they were unnecessarily agreeing with each other.
And that’s not the side where they kneel down or leave power and step down, but in the worst direction of armed suppression.
