Chapter 10. party convention (1)
Notice: We would like to inform you once again that a significant amount of content has been added to Episode 43, Chapter 9, The Longest Day of the Republic (2). It is a fact that has already been posted in the notice, but Chapter 9, the last chapter, ended with the last 43 episodes, and Chapter 10 starts from today’s episode.
The 4.25 Cultural Center is one of the largest concert halls in Asia located in Moranbong District, Pyongyang.
The site area alone is over 120,000 square meters, and there is a small theater with 600 seats, a medium theater with 1,100 seats, and a grand theater with 6,000 seats.
Named after April 25, the date on which Kim Il-sung, who can be said to be the national father of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, formed the anti-Japanese partisan, this theater is mainly used for the resident performance of the Korean People’s Army Orchestra, but thanks to its huge size, it is used for large-scale political gatherings. It is also used as a place for
And now, one of such political assemblies, the 7th Party Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea, was being held in the 6,000-seat grand theater of the 4.25 Cultural Center.
“I declare the opening of the historic 7th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea in commemoration of the great sacrifice of the people who died in the unfortunate accident and tragedy that occurred recently, and of my son, a great pillar of the nation and of the people, and the first secretary of the Kim Jong-il Party. .”
Aaa!!!!!!
Although thunderous applause and cheers rang through the Grand Theater of the Cultural Center, the old man in charge of the opening speech, President Kim Il-sung, staggered slightly and returned to his seat in the center.
More than 6,000 pairs of eyes in the grand theater watched the young man who had run out of the seat next to him to support him, who was completely ill and who had become eminently emaciated within a month, carefully guiding him to his seat.
“Then there will be a business summary report in the following order. The members of the Party Central Committee came forward one by one…”
‘I wonder what my father would say if he saw me now. So, the real father.’
Jeong-hwan, a young man who had just supported him and sat him in his seat, fell in love with such sentiments as he watched the ‘Abaji leader’ Kim Il-sung, who was sitting in his seat, shaking his hand slightly and trying not to miss the report of the committee members.
Words such as ‘the ambition of imperialist countries and the decline of socialism’, ‘unprecedented crisis in the party and military’, and ‘the great advance of the military-first politics and Juche idea that have been achieved despite this’ made the grand theater cry loudly. But Jeonghwan wasn’t listening at all.
After all, you know it’s all bullshit eating dog grass anyway.
‘This is just an act of catering anyway. However, it is clear that consciousness is also required to move a huge organization. It’s like foretelling the emergence of a new powerful person.’
A month has already passed since the street battle in Pyongyang between Jeong-hwan and the Frunze clan, and the Security Bureau led by Kim Jong-il, the General Bureau of the Guard and the Security Forces.
At the end of the battle, Jeong-hwan’s tactics of psychological warfare with Kim Il-sung were effective, and Kim Jong-il’s troops waiting for the bombing outside Pyongyang collapsed.
The commanders of the National Security Agency, Kim Young-ryong, Director of the National Security Agency, Won Heung-hui, and above all, Kim Jong-il were immediately arrested and detained somewhere else.
After the situation was settled to some extent, it was also Jeong-hwan who drafted an ‘official announcement’ to reassure Pyongyangites who were anxious about the fact that the Ryugyong Hotel collapsed in the middle of downtown Pyongyang not long ago and a large-scale battle involving tanks took place.
– Let’s announce this. The General Guards Bureau, the National Security Agency, and the National Security Agency united in an uprising, and in the process, it is tragic that General Kim Jong-il died at the hands of weightlifters.
– what? You want to make Kim Jong-il a hero? Besides, is he still alive?
– Our top priority right now is to stabilize the public sentiment and solidify a cause. Until recently, Kim Jong-il was known as the next leader and a great man of the nation by the citizens of Pyongyang, or even most of the people of the republic. Even in our troops and square history, most of the sergeants and low-ranking officers know that. Am I wrong?
– ……………
– But it turns out that such a person is a bastard who bombed Pyongyang to see the blood of countless people, and if it were known to us that he died while trying to assassinate his father, President Kim Il-sung, this republic would be in a state of complete chaos. will. I hope you don’t want that.
– ……………Ummm….. Gi-rae, that’s good. Well, it’s the people anyway, so they’ll believe anything as long as it doesn’t harm them. So what do you plan to do next?
– We have to let the whole republic and the world know that we have taken the lead in this Joseon. I’d love to hold a party convention.
In this way, the 7th Party Congress was now held, attended by Jeong Hwan and all the Frunze factions, as well as the heads of the respective faction committees of each Korean Workers’ Party, the prime minister, and the heads of specialized departments.
It was the first party congress in over 10 years since the 6th congress was held in 1980, and at the last congress, Kim Jong-il was recognized as the undisputed successor of Kim Il-sung, but this one was quite different.
Besides the fact that the schedule was only two days due to the limitation that it was prepared and held in just one month, the person sitting next to Kim Il-sung was not Kim Jong-il, but a young man.
In fact, among the numerous party, military, and justice figures gathered here, most of them were the first to see this young comrade who appeared as if falling from the sky.
– Oh, how about President Kim Il-sung? Judging from the last speech, Comrade Jang and Comrade Jeong Hwan seem to have changed their minds…
– If it’s good, it’s good, if it’s bad, it’s bad.
– Don’t play like a riddle like that, and tell me the truth. How close did Kim Jong-il make G. Abbey to an invoice?
Recalling Hong Gye-sung’s question as if he was having a baby, Jeong-hwan turned his head slightly and looked at Kim Il-sung, who was sitting next to him.
‘How should I describe this situation…. You are heir to the throne, Father?’
That day, Kim Il-sung’s speech echoed in a street fight in Pyongyang, so to speak, was like the last burning candle just before it went out.
All the documents that Jeong-hwan and Jang Seong-taek displayed in front of Kim Il-sung, who visited the Jojo’s Palace on the morning of the fateful day, revealed to Kim Il-sung how much his faithful son had deceived him.
Soldiers of the People’s Army whose staple food was potatoes and corn instead of rice, empty coal transport trains, stopped trains and vehicles…
The moment Kim Jong-il’s hidden materials were revealed one by one by Jang Seong-taek’s hand, Kim Il-sung began to sweat and shake his hands as if he had been shot.
And it was the culmination of a fire dragon that the pet dog raised in the Tin Palace ate a little of the borscht he ate and collapsed on the spot with convulsions.
– This, this…. This…. Jung-il, that guy.
– Abaddy, it must be hard, but you need to cheer up. Now, under my leadership, the willing party and military workers who are trying to save this republic from the clutches of Kim Jong-il have joined forces. As always, please take the lead and lead us.
In the meantime, fueled by anger against his son Kim Jong-il, who was trying to burn up Pyongyang, not enough to deceive and kill him, Kim Il-sung gave his speech as if vomiting everything in front of the microphone at the President’s Palace.
And in the month following that day, his condition deteriorated sharply, like a shell from a soul.
Of course, the psychological shock that he suffered in a row over the past month must have been one of the biggest reasons, but Junghwan was only able to hear from the doctor at Joo-gung about the reason for his aging, as if he had become 10 years older in an instant.
– Arsenic (砒素: As)? Is that the arsenic you use to make rat poison? You mean you gave it to the tin?
– Uh, technically, that’s… arsenic mixture… Buy, save me! comrade! We really just did what we were told! I can’t not follow the general’s orders in front of me…
– Let me go into more detail. How long and for how long did you put arsenic into your meal?
After the street battle, Jeong-hwan was the first to question the doctor and the cook among the staff at the Zhuanggung Palace secured by the square-sa forces.
I heard from someone the other day that I knew that the administration of the palace had been handed over to Kim Jong-il long ago, but I wanted to check with my own ears how many years Kim Il-sung had left to live.
– You said that the rain and arsenic mixture has almost no odor, so you wouldn’t know it when you put it in borscht. If the president dies right away, I’m very suspicious, so from the day I was instructed to burn it little by little…
– How toxic is it? Let me explain in an easy to understand way. If you answer well, I might even save you.
– That’s… If you eat it for just 3 days, even a strong intestine will get seriously ill, and if you eat it for 5 days, you will become paralyzed. And if you take it for more than 7 days…
– You mean it goes straight to the goal. How long have you been taking arsenic?
– ……………Wear for 6 days.
‘A son who fed arsenic to a father who is over 60 years old, or a father who survived after eating it for nearly a week, it’s so toxic. Genes can’t lie, right?’
For the first time since being reincarnated in North Korea, Jeong Hwan spoke out of pure admiration for the existence of Kim Il-sung.
I don’t know if it’s because he eats and wears all kinds of good things while in the highest authority, or if his obsession with power extends his lifespan, but it’s a human-level vitality that he can’t escape at that age.
Although it was the result he intended to some extent, Junghwan had no choice but to shake his head at the persistence and obsession of the human being, Kim Il-sung, who still maintains his life.
“Then, with this, we will conclude the schedule for the first day of the 7th Party Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.”
Clap clap clap…..!!!
Applause resounded, and people from the podium left the hall one by one, starting with Kim Il-sung.
Jeonghwan, who had remained seated until the very end, also stretched out and slowly walked out of the hall.
Anyway, today is a signal to clearly declare who the owner of the republic is and to stabilize the public sentiment, so to speak, a skirmish.
The really important dates are the central leadership election scheduled for tomorrow.
‘Whatever the election, the results have already been decided.’
Mumbling, “This is why a dictatorship is good,” Jeonghwan got into the car that was waiting outside and headed somewhere.
Eventually, Jeong-hwan arrived at a unique concrete building on the outskirts of Pyongyang and exchanged light greetings with the party who had arrived earlier.
“Congratulations on your promotion. Hong’s Comrade. Ah, now I have to call you Cha Soo Hong.”
“……I should still call it a listing. The rank of second rank will be awarded along with the rank of Chief of Staff of the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces in tomorrow’s election. then Let’s go.”
Hong Gye-seong, who responded with an uncomfortable face even with a ceremonial greeting, quickly guided Jeong-hwan into the strictly guarded building.
Junghwan could only guess why Hong Gye-seong was uncomfortable at this point in time when everything was successful (actually, it was Jung-hwan himself who provided the cause), but now he kept his mouth shut.
The building they have now arrived at was one of many secret prisons the former State Security Department used to interrogate criminals before sending them to a correctional center.
Currently, Square Sa’s troops are guarding this facility, but all the ‘criminals’ inside have been temporarily transferred to another place where they are treated much better.
In order to keep the existence of several people imprisoned here, the most important among them, General Kim Jong-il, the leader of the republic .
