Chapter 8. Swirling Republic (2)
“We must move the army right now! Hong Listed Comrade!”
Jeonghwan wiggled his right arm involuntarily at the earnest plea from the side.
Grind this one by one, okay?
With this thought in mind, he had to barely endure the fact that one arm was about to go up without him knowing.
“If you squash more in a place like this, you will be late! Before we run out of branches, as soon as possible, we must occupy the President’s Palace and cut off Kim Jong-il’s head by mobilizing all the military force our faction can move!”
“Comrades, calm down for a moment! Comrade Jeonghwan, what do you think?”
“…………”
Jeonghwan turned his mouth around and shut his mouth for a moment at the words of Hong Gye-seong, who asked.
Now this place was inside the field command tent of the Ministry of the People’s Armed Forces, which provided assistance to the site of the Ryugyong Hotel accident.
When Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, who had the final decision-making power of all party forces, were absent at the same time, all the institutions of the republic were turned upside down.
Ignoring the voice of the next door, the commander of the Pyongyang Defense Command (and the main culprit of the current situation) Baek Seung-cheol, Hong Kye-seong and Ta Prunje officials looked only at himself, and Jeong-hwan finally made up his mind.
Alright, let’s grind just one.
But not now, in three minutes.
“If we move the army now……”
“……Comrade Hong’s listing!”
3 minute count start, 180, 179, 178, 177………….
“…If we move the army now, it will be suppressed in no time and we will all die. You need to lower yourself for a moment.”
“……….until when? Kim Jong-Il is already at maximum alert and is being treated at the Jangsu Medical Center. Besides, it seems that the other side has not yet noticed that this was an assassination of the collapsed site due to simple poor construction, but as General Paik said, this may be the only last chance…”
Jeonghwan shook his head at Hong Gye-seong’s words, which had already given a hint of despair.
“As my comrades for listing said, it will be like that for the time being. However, it will not be long before the suspect Kim Jong-il becomes suspicious of the actions of the reactionaries in this case. No matter how long it takes, it will be much faster than we expected.”
“……Then what do you think of your comrade?”
“You must go into the tiger’s den. Soon, the time will come when Kim Jong-il will gather his men and ask who among them has ordered the work. You have to be there at that time.”
“Damn it, I don’t have time for that now! Before the chaos has completely subsided, our Frunze clan should take over Pyongyang when the General Guard has recovered the damage and non-military scumbag security guards are defending Pyongyang! Comrade Hong, it’s not too late to make a decision…”
118, 117, 116, 115, 114…… Less than two minutes left.
“Of course, someday, sooner or later, we must move the military again and suppress Kim Jong-il! It’s just that it’s not now!”
“You crazy Ganna bastard, in what millennium…”
“Wait, Comrade Baek. Please be quiet for a moment.”
Hong Gye-sung raised his hand and paused Baek Seung-cheol’s words, who looked like he was about to kill Jeong-hwan, and looked at Jeong-hwan before opening his mouth.
“Looking at you, you seem to believe in something. Tell me, Comrade Jeonghwan. What are you aiming for?”
“I have a second plan that I have prepared in case the big business fails. The problem is that in order to implement the plan now, one condition must be prepared…”
“Condition? What is it? Come on tell me What else is there to hide in a situation like this?”
At Hong Gye-seong’s urging, Jeonghwan shut his mouth for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at the person next to him.
There was a cold life in his eyes.
“…President Kim Il-sung must be alive. The problem is that some foolish idiot next to me has hit me with bamboo tangs, so the only problem now is whether or not that plan will be carried out.”
“……….what? What do you mean, Comrade Jeonghwan?”
Oh, you didn’t know about this one yet?
No matter how much we are on the same side, there is no way that we would have discussed this kind of unprecedented nuisance in advance.
“What would you like? Comrade Seungcheol Paik, who is here, detonated the bomb earlier than the agreed time in advance. Thanks to this, Comrade Paik saved Kim Jong-il’s life. How about, Comrade Major Paik, why don’t you just turn over there and get the Republican Medal of Heroes?”
“………………”
“What, what?”
“……Is that true now, Commander Baek?”
At Jeonghwan’s sarcastic remarks, everyone in the tent turned to the person he was staring at, Baek Seungcheol.
At Jeonghwan’s sudden interrogation, Baek Seung-cheol contorted his face mixed with embarrassment and anger for a moment, then growled at Jeong-hwan as if he were the opposite.
It was almost like an acknowledgment of his charges.
“Hey! At first, I didn’t like the comrade’s plan itself! To keep Kim Il-sung alive, does that make sense? The reason our Frunze clan decided to leave was because the Kims and the rich wanted to establish a one-man worship system just for themselves and inherit it! But let’s keep Kim Il-sung, the progenitor of the Stalin-style idolization line alive, that makes sense…… Ugh!!!”
Whoa!
When Jeonghwan’s fist suddenly swung and hit him in the face, Baek Seungcheol could not finish his speech and fell to the floor of the tent.
It’s only been three minutes, you crazy stone-headed bastard who can’t do it back and forth.
Direct violence isn’t my thing, but I can’t leave it alone this time.
“……………….this….??”
Baek Seung-cheol, who fell to the floor, couldn’t even think of wiping the blood flowing from his lips as if he couldn’t believe it.
Baek Seung-cheol, who had only been seen as a shy person, didn’t expect that he would wield physical violence and even dare to wield physical violence.
However, after a moment or a few seconds, he realized the situation and his face turned red, he jumped up from his seat, pulled out the Pistol from Mt.
“Shoot and kill me! This ganna bastard! If you don’t get down on your knees and pray right now, you’ll get a bullet hole in your head…”
“Comrade General Baek, stop it!”
“Comrade Hong listed! It’s urgent!”
Three different voices resounded inside the field tent.
But everyone’s eyes turned to a new voice, one of Hong Gye-seong’s aides, who had just entered the tent to report.
He paused for a moment at the rare sight taking place inside the tent, but Hong Gye-seong cleared the situation.
“What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you not to enter without permission?”
“Ki, Kim Il-sung is still alive! He was not seriously injured, and one of our agents from the National Security Agency reported that he was just taken to the Jangsu Medical Center where his son Kim Jong-il was and is being treated.”
“…Jeez, damn it…!!!!”
At the completely unexpected report, the faces of all the Frunze officials, including Hong Gye-seong, became blurred.
Baek Seung-cheol, too, forgot that he was madly angry just before, and his face turned earthy, and he quietly lowered his pistol.
In the end, he couldn’t get rid of either of the two goals he was aiming for.
In the midst of that, Junghwan did not panic and looked at the other executives, including Hong Kye-sung, and spoke softly.
“It’s unfortunate that you’re lucky, comrade listed.”
“…Comrade Junghwan… Can you hear about the second plan? Is that feasible now?”
“It is possible, but there is one more condition before that.”
“Condition? What is it?”
In front of Hong Gye-seong, whose complexion was noticeably darker than before, Jung-hwan pointed his finger at Baek Seung-cheol and gave a cold sentence.
“First, get that idiot out of this plan, I think getting him out of this tent will be the first thing.”
“…what, what? However…..”
“Because this old man Baek Seung-cheol made just one mistake, me and the head of the company, including the head of the Frunze clan, all stood at the top of the head. Now, if that guy makes one more mistake or commits disobedience disguised as a mistake, then me and the three generations of the head of the company will be in direct contact with labor reform until death. It’s only about when you’re lucky, though.”
“But I am the commander of the defense of Pyongyang! Without my cooperation…………”
“……And from now on, all of the Frunze factions on that side, including Director Baek and the CEO, must follow my instructions unconditionally until the event is successful. When I tell you to shoot, you shoot, and when I tell you to stay still, you have to. If these conditions are not accepted, I will immediately leave this tent and find only a way to save my head.”
“Listed comrade! Don’t listen to this guy! If we mobilize all of Square’s troops now…!!”
When Hong Kye-seong and other executives showed conflicting expressions, Baek Seung-cheol raised his voice and began to find a way to somehow cover up his mistakes.
However, Jung-hwan has already noticed that the gazes of Baek Seung-cheol from other Frunze factions, including Hong Kye-seong’s listing, are changing.
“The decision rests with the listed comrades. You may not accept it. I already have a way to save one of my heads.”
“……Get out, Warden Comrade.”
“Comrade Hong listed! really……….”
“I’m not telling you to leave! No matter how much Baek Seung-cheol pretends to be you here in Frunze, I am the deputy chief of staff of the People’s Army! I don’t know that disobeying a superior’s orders, whether in Russia or Joseon, is a summary sentence! If you don’t leave now, I’ll shoot your bastard first for disobeying orders! If you want to keep the commander position after the death, get out of here!”
“…………………………..!!”
At Hong Gye-seong, who was yelling at the whale, Baek Seung-cheol bit his teeth and took a step back.
No matter how powerful he is in the Frunze clan, he ranks among the top five and is the commander of the square company that is the center of this big event, but Hong Gye-seong is the first in the ranks.
In the end, Baek Seung-cheol was staring at Jeong-hwan with fearful eyes, and had no choice but to step out of the tent.
As soon as he disappeared outside the tent, Hong Gye-seong looked back at Jeong-hwan and asked.
“Now, let me tell you, Comrade Jeonghwan. What is the second plan? How can we prevent annihilation in this republic?”
“Don’t worry, Comrade Comrade. Neither Kim Jong-il nor Kim Il-sung have yet found evidence of treason. I don’t really know how many or who took part. There is a way to survive if you use it well.”
Junghwan nodded confidently as he said that.
On the contrary, there was even a strange smile on his lips that he saw for the first time today.
‘Maybe this could be a phone violation.’
Even if the feat was successful, taming the Frunze clan was a problem, but because Baek Seung-cheol drew a lot of aggro, the difficulty was greatly reduced.
With this, at least the Frunze clan will not be able to make Jeonghwan their puppet after the death.
Of course, it’s only a story if you survive Kim Jong-il’s interrogation and succeed.
Junghwan’s prediction came true.
Less than 24 hours after the accident, Kim Jong-il summoned those responsible for the accident and started interrogation.
It was natural that Jeong Hwan was among them, but that very evening, a high-pressure officer of the General Guards Bureau came to find him.
“Comrade Kim Jung-hwan, are you right?”
“Yes, I am Kim Jung-hwan.”
“The general has now called a meeting in the Labor Party’s secretary’s office. We are going to bring all those involved in this accident in one place and decide who is responsible.”
“……”
The eyes of the officer of the General Guards Bureau, staring at Jeonghwan, were ‘You know what I’m talking about? He seemed to be saying, ‘Follow me quietly.
I mean, even a fool knew that the word could be ‘purge’ or ‘execution’ at any time, depending on the location of responsibility, the answer and the evidence.
The fact that he even sent an officer of the General Guard to summon a person in the first place made it easy to guess that Kim Jong-il had already decided to see anyone blood.
“…………”
Jeonghwan seemed hesitant to answer for a moment, and looked at the behavior of the officers of the General Guards Bureau who came to call him.
Scratching and torn wounds on the underside of his uniform suggest that he was also at the scene of the accident, but overall he looked pretty good.
‘It’s a story that there are still a significant number of Kim Jong-il’s troops in the General Guard. Perhaps instead of the 1st Guards, which had become incapacitated, they supplemented it with the troops of other Guards…’
“Why is there no answer? Are you going to disobey the general’s orders?”
“Is that possible? I do not hide anything from the general. Let’s go.”
At the urging of the military officer, Jeonghwan walked outside and headed for the car of the General Guards Bureau waiting for him.
At Yoo Hye-rim, who looked at him with a worried face, Jung-hwan gave a smirk once.
“Let’s go, Master Yu. See you later .”
