Chapter 8. Swirling Republic (4)

“Wow, what kind of……!!! Where the hell are you blowing nonsense bitches! This recoil molecule!”

“Why don’t you do that to me and explain it directly to the general? I think the general would be wondering why the security guard, who was supposed to protect the general, left Pyongyang and went to Wonsan far away….”

Kim Young-ryong, the head of the security department, was dazzled by the arrow suddenly turned at him, but soon after, even Kim Jong-il looked at him with suspicious eyes, and his pale face turned into a blank slate.

“Trust me, General, I have never even dreamed of being repulsive……”

“……Will you?”

However, in spite of Kim Young-ryong’s desperate explanation, Kim Jong-il was not very suspicious of him.

Already looking at Kim Young-ryong, deep suspicion was oozing out of his eyes.

‘Who said that, doubt is like a living creature. getting bigger and bigger Especially for a terminally ill patient like Kim Jong-il!’

“Chief Kim, please explain. Why did you take the security forces to Wonsan? And what did you do with the Ryugyong Hotel materials?”

“Thousands and thousandths of every word, General! I’m just making sure there’s nothing wrong with the materials, that guy who came out hanging out with the Japanese people…. Comrade Jeong-hwan, I’m acting out of my heart that maybe he’s done some tricks!”

“It’s disgusting…. Comrade Kim seems to have correctly pointed out one thing.”

“…..what?”

As Kim Jong-il’s intentions seemed to be waning again, Jeong-hwan decided to blow the wind one more time and threw the score.

“It means that there is someone who harbors animosity toward the general. If my materials are in good condition and Comrade Kim Young-ryong is not charged with anything, then why did the hotel collapse?”

“Did you say it was repulsive or repulsive? ….Junghwan, what you mean is this accident……”

“I mean, it wasn’t an accident. It is clear that there are people in this republic who have an impure heart towards the general and the leader. So it is clear that he was trying to get rid of all the officers of the General Guards Bureau who were escorting the general, the leader, and the two people who are the pillars of the republic.”

“…………”

The atmosphere at the table changed once again.

Until a while ago, the atmosphere was like a tense bowstring, but now it has become a state of instantaneous tension as if walking on a handmade ice field.

In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, treason against the Kim family is the third sense of extermination.

“General………??”

“Keep your mouth shut!”

“Yeah, yeah… Excuse me!

In the midst of only silence, Kim Jong-il’s small eyes scoured the faces of everyone around the table as if they were skinning them.

The moment he heard the word “reverse”, Kim Jong-il turned his head several times faster.

He has spent his whole life brutally crushing obstacles to becoming the leader of the republic.

But now, that goal is right in front of you, and unexpectedly, those who interfere with it have appeared.

And no matter how many disturbers there were, it was certain that those sitting at this table were included.

Because the people here were the backbone of this republic.

So, from now on, from among these Ganna cubs who keep their mouths shut and take off their shichimi, we need to carefully select and find the ones who are loyal to them and those who think differently.

certainly.

‘Is Junghwan that bastard……?’

Kim Jong-il is no fool.

No, rather, it is Kim Jong-il who has a smart head (as far as protecting his power).

The possibility that Jeong-hwan, the first accused person, may be trying to dispel his suspicions and take down Kim Young-ryong, his right-hand man, came to his mind.

However, Kim Jong-il soon denied that possibility.

‘Rebellion doesn’t happen alone. don’t be like that Who the hell is going to put such an asshole as the leader…’

Since a coup cannot be done alone, one’s own people and forces are absolutely necessary.

What kind of supporters and subordinates would Jeong-hwan have, who returned to the Republic after playing in exile in Japan for three years?

From what I heard from Jang Seong-taek, I was quite friendly with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chongryon circles in Japan, but they are not alone.

Once within the republic, he must join the rebellion, and besides, he still holds the most important military power.

As such, Kim Jong-il excluded Jeong-hwan from the list of suspicions of rebellion.

However, that did not mean that he was determined to defeat Kim Young-ryong, the head of the Security Council, his most faithful hunting dogs.

At that moment, someone other than Jung-hwan blew wind into Kim Jong-il’s ear again.

“General, I heard that there was also a revolt by the military in South Korea. What is particularly interesting is that the security guard, who has to protect the regime from rebellion, actively led the rebellion.”

“…Comrade Hyun Young-sook, what does that mean?”

“Hey! Current manager! In the meantime, have our security guards done anything to disappoint your propaganda and agitation department? One of the talents of teasing your mouth for fear that someone is not a bitch is a bummer!”

‘This is an unexpected help. I knew that he was a pragmatist who hated hardliners like the security guard, but… but don’t forget it. Hyun Young-sook, head of the Propaganda and Agitation Department.’

Jeonghwan’s eyes widened and he looked at the person who had just spoken, one of the few women at the table.

Despite Kim Young-ryong’s fierce shouting, the speaker, Hyun Young-sook, head of the propaganda and agitation department, did not even turn his head toward Kim Young-ryong, moving his red lips to continue the conversation.

“Stand still. Manager, what do you want to say?”

“Even in all ages, East and West, it was common for the SS, closest to power, to become the mainstay of rebellion. So where is the law against the same thing happening to others in our republic?”

“Hey, a bitch who will tear this jaw apart… where did you get such a bald head…”

Kim Young-ryong, who quickly became a punching bag, was furious as if smoke was coming out of his ears, but there was no one to support him in this room.

When the leader’s name was given, everyone had deep or small feelings of ill-will towards the Bowi-bu, the hunters who run to and kill anyone first.

It was the result of Kim Young-ryong’s unreasonable number, who was overly loyal to Kim Jong-il because he had not yet fully gained the trust of Kim Jong-il.

Finally, Kim Jong-il made a decision.

“Secretary Kim Young-ryong!”

“Yes, General…!”

“After today, go to Wonsan and wait. The troops under the security forces are also withdrawn from Pyongyang.”

“………………”

After realizing the meaning of the words, Kim Young-ryong’s face turned white, and soon he began to plead with Kim Jong-il.

“Come on, General, please believe me. The security guard and I only thought about the security of General Janakkaena and the leader. Please, just that…”

“Ah, who said you eat it? Pyongyang is busy, so go down to Wonsan for a while! As you leave this room, immediately follow the instructions of the Pyongyang Defense Command and go to Wonsan. The next order will be issued separately when the situation is cleared up.”

“…………”

‘I couldn’t decide whether to trust the Bowibu or not. But this alone is the best situation for me.’

While Kim Young-ryong lowered his head and Jeong-hwan thought like this, Kim Jong-il banged the table and laid down his cover.

“For the time being, the protection of Pyongyang from reactionaries will be divided between the comrades in the square and the General Guard. The rest of the decisions were made after the Social Safety Engineering Bureau thoroughly investigated the cause of the accident. Comrade Jang Seong-taek, take charge of social safety.”

“Ah, I got it, General!”

“Girae, and finally, a word to the reactionaries who might be there, in case Kim Jong-il is wasted and finds even the slightest deception or treason…”

The eyes of Kim Jong-il, who was pulling the horse back, gleamed with dreadful death and poison.

“…. Immediately, he smashed all three legs. Algan?”

“I got it, General!”

“Then let it go! Everyone, do your job in your seat!”

“Comrade Zhang. Would you like to see me for a second?”

Jang Seong-taek, the second-in-command of the party, son-in-law of Kim Il-sung, and the brother-in-law of Kim Jong-il, head of the youth business department, turned around when he heard a voice calling him from behind.

And when he saw Jeonghwan standing behind him, his expression became complicated.

“What’s going on? I’m busy right now to go to Social Security to take over.”

“It will take a moment. Shall we talk as we go?”

They walked to the car and started talking.

Jang Seong-taek had an uncomfortable expression on his face, but he did not refuse Jung-hwan’s request.

“Now that there is no security guard, we don’t have to worry about wiretapping for the time being.”

“……If it’s a story that should make you worry about wiretapping, I’ll go. It is such a bloody situation, and you know that North Korea does not have one or two invisible eyes and ears. There is no reason to be angry for doing something suspicious.”

“It’s a suspicious act… Are you talking about the act of leaving the podium where party executives are gathered alone right before the accident?”

“What, what…!! What are you talking about now…”

Jang Seong-taek turned to Jeong-hwan in surprise, but Jeong-hwan was still calm.

‘I already have all the pieces of the puzzle. Now we just have to match it.’

“I’m talking about what Comrade Zhang did. As the general mentioned earlier, this accident is not an accident, but a move by reactionaries who pray for rebellion against the Republic and the general. As soon as the investigation begins, an investigation will be conducted on the actions of the officers who are likely to be accused. How long do you think it will take for the general to be suspicious of the fact that Comrade Jang escaped and saved his life by himself just before the collapse of the hotel?”

“………this, oh … you… you bastard…”

Jang Seong-taek, unable to speak, his face color changed several times.

But after a few seconds, he muttered, pointing at Jeonghwan with trembling fingers, as if he had realized something.

“It was you! Gi-rae, this is the one you planned! Call the security guard right away…”

“Director Kim Young-ryong has just been liquidated. And, perhaps, the next head of the security department will be held concurrently by General Kim Jong-il himself. It’s someone who doesn’t trust anyone. Don’t you know yourself best, Comrade Jang?”

“…………………………”

What I’m saying is true.

In actual history, after Kim Young-ryong, Kim Jong-il himself, the head of the security department since 1998, will serve concurrently with the chairman of the National Defense Commission.

It is truly a Kim Jong-il-like greeting that no one believes in, but history has changed because of my intervention, so that time will probably be faster.

“……Now that I see, there was a purpose in saving me. Why are you telling me this? What do you want?”

Jang Seong-taek was indeed a man with a quick head turn.

He realized in an instant that Jeonghwan wanted something from him.

Jeonghwan smiled at him, who seemed to have already guessed what he was hoping for, and nodded his head.

“As you know it well, you are asking me again… What you are thinking right now is correct. After the accident is settled, a new sun will rise for the Republic.”

“……!!! Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan I don’t think you are doing this alone… How many people have you gathered? Are you confident that you will succeed?”

It’s going to be a lot easier than I thought.

Perhaps Jang Sung-taek himself was intuition that if he stood in line for a long time under the Kim Jong-il regime, he would not see good results any time soon.

And if you look at the actual history, this prediction was correct.

“In time, you will know everything. Can you understand what that means as a willingness to be with us?”

“…..a good goal as well. You still can’t believe me completely, isn’t it? What will I get if the big deal is successful?”

This should be accepted as the answer, “I will join.”

While quietly watching Jang Sung-taek, who still had a nervous expression, Jung-hwan revealed (part of) his second plan.

“Do you remember the question I asked the general earlier? As you may already know, the general’s answer is not true .”
