Dear Comrade

Chapter 4. black screen (2)

Meeting and negotiating with Nakao Construction Manager itself is not difficult.

For Junghwan to be in that spot, it would be enough to join Kim Yong-geon’s secretary or anything else after joining in the middle.

The problem is that unless the security guard who resides in Chongryon is blind, it is difficult to avoid his eyes and meet him without attention.

Kim Yong-gun’s point was realistic, but Jeong-hwan immediately came up with a way.

“It is not difficult. It’s a plausible purpose, isn’t it?”

“If it’s for business…?”

“If you give me an excuse to ask for advice on the document from the Party Central Committee that Comrade Kim recently showed me about the ‘the building’ that is newly built in the capital of the Republic, the Security Council will not be suspicious.”

“Oh, if that’s the case……!”

When Hyerim Yoo, who was listening to the conversation, clapped her hands as if she had realized something, Jeonghwan nodded.

“Even though it is still a secret externally, the embassies and diplomats working there have already been ordered to cooperate as much as possible because this construction project is a revolutionary task that General Kim Jong-il directly ordered. If it’s our business, even the security guards won’t be able to say anything.”

Only then did Kim Yong-geon’s face brighten, and he quickly got up from his seat and returned to Chongryon.

“I will send you an official letter immediately, comrade. I have already consulted with the Ministry of Construction to import raw materials and seek technical advice when building the Koryo Hotel, so I will not suspect that it is for another purpose.”

“Then I’ll ask you, comrade manager. If you have an appointment, please come to this hotel and call me right away.”

“I got it!”

After Kim Yong-geon was away, Jung-hwan read again during the day and turned his attention to Nomura Securities’ quarterly paid report, but Yoo Hye-rim still looked worried and turned to her.

“Sir Yu, why are you doing this?”

“Really…Will that person named Nakao Construction Manager meet my comrade? So… isn’t your comrade’s identity still unknown? Still, the minister of a country is like a comrade… So…”

“Do you think you would take the time to meet the illegitimate son of a dictator in a backward country like North Korea? I won’t meet you As comrade Kim said, it’s not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and why would you step into something that is outside the scope of your direct work, and you risk getting the attention of the media?”

Jeonghwan answered that way, clearing up Yoo Hye-rim’s worries about being hesitant to express herself directly.

At those words, Hyerim Yoo couldn’t help but look even more ignorant.

“……Then why…?”

“Well, by now, even the yangban minister, Nakao or so, would have known that someone was trying to reach out to his rice bowl through a real estate company. If a conflict arises in a construction project that originally involved a profit of this size, it is picking a star in the sky to seal it cleanly without looking dirty. If it attracts public attention, there is a disadvantage to that side, so there is room for negotiations on our side as well.”

In fact, the National Security Agency agent who resided in Chosun Chongryon, which serves as the delegation of North Korea to Japan, and supervised almost everyone in Chongryon, was a person named Li Mun-cheol.

Ri Moon-cheol could be said to be a typical security agent in both good and bad senses, but what that meant was that he upheld the orders of the party and the leader from above, but he was like a blood-sucking gnat to his subordinates. .

“Comrade Kim Yong-gun! During today’s schedule, I’m interviewing a person who is a construction contractor for these Japanese Kannadas, and the bio that asks for an explanation of the procedure for performing a task that is different from usual.”

‘I’m afraid he’s not an ignorant guy who doesn’t know how to use his head, so his voice is hoarse. Just be patient, the day your world will go away soon…’

Ignoring the secretary’s reluctance, Kim Yong-geon opened the door to his office and saw Ri Moon-cheol arrogantly demanding an explanation.

“Ah, it has to do with the completion of the revolutionary task of the general who came down from the center of the party this time. There is a need to seek cooperation from the Japanese side on this task.”

“What cooperation? Does our great republic have any chance of getting the cooperation of these Japanese imperialists?”

‘The guy who accepts bribes in yen only speaks well.’

Kim Yong-geon, slightly angry at Ri Moon-cheol for bragging, decided to tease him a little before telling the truth.

‘It’s obvious that he doesn’t know anyway.’

“Yes, Lieutenant-Lee will know, but as there is a special instruction from the General, all the members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be mobilized to find a way out by all means and methods.”

“……What is that special instruction? I don’t know at all, but…”

When Ri Moon-cheol tilted his head, Kim Yong-geon lowered his voice and whispered softly as if he was telling a very big secret.

“I mean, it’s still confidential, so I have a feeling it’s hard to say directly…”

“………………”

At Kim Yong-geon’s remarks as if they knew each other, Ri Moon-cheol made a stupid expression on his face and made a face that he didn’t know until the end.

“Huh, Lieutenant-Lee, it seems that you are still unaware of the revolutionary task the general has ordered. It’s already a famous story in Pyongyang… I know that Lieutenant Lieutenant General Lee’s rumors within the Fortress are slow, but I didn’t expect it to be this much. Looking at the summary of the work we’ve worked with, I’ll give you a special announcement, so I hope that Vice-Chairman Lee will also devote himself to this party’s work.”

“………………”

Ri Moon-cheol’s face flushed red, perhaps recognizing the faint light of contempt contained in Kim Yong-geon’s words.

In fact, Ri Moon-cheol was in charge of East Asia in the 4th division of Hanji, even in the foreign anti-tamper country belonging to the Bowiseong, so it could not be said that his status was high.

On the other hand, Kim Yong-geon is also a manager with Japan, who has risen in status rapidly in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so if Ri Moon-cheol had not been for the Security Council, he would obviously be a senior, but Ri Moon-cheol had been competing with Kim Yong-geon by borrowing the strength of the Security Council. will be.

However, before Ri Moon-cheol was even angry, Kim Yong-geon’s mouth moved first.

“You’re talking about the construction of the Ryugyong Hotel.”

“……!! Ah, now I remember hearing it. Come to think of it, this time, seeing if it was the 63 Building built by a South Korean puppet, the general gave the instructions directly…”

“Yes, we have already received a direct letter from the National Defense Commission to cooperate in all possible ways, including procurement of raw materials for all embassies. Today, I am contacting Japanese construction companies informally to discuss the issues of material import and technical cooperation as secretly as possible.”

Kim Yong-geon explained that, and only then did Ri Moon-cheol nod his head as if he understood and put a proud expression on his face again.

Then, with an expression that he knew from the beginning, he gave permission to Kim Yong-geon as if he had been sympathetic.

“I still heard a call from the party who was determined to revive the core business of the party. I will give you my permission, and I hope that all the Chongryon members, including the head of the department, will devote themselves to carrying out the instructions from Pyongyang.”

“Look forward to the good news coming soon.”

Yang Gu laughed at Ri Moon-cheol as if he was giving permission, but Kim Yong-geon breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Now there is no need to worry about the eyes of the security guard.

The problem is to meet Nakao Construction Minister in person, and from there, it is no longer a problem for Kim Yong-geon himself to worry about, but a problem for his master, Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan, to solve.

Soon, a car drove out of the Chongryon site, and neither Ri Moon-cheol nor anyone knew that Kim Yong-geon had stopped somewhere along the way, picked up an unscheduled guest and headed for an appointment with the construction contractor.

“Build a hotel… on the Kitajo Line?”

“Yes, Minister. In fact, I had already asked the Ministry of Construction and Construction on a similar agenda last time, so I don’t know why I need to summon the Minister for this. It is said that the head of the Chongryon is coming from the other side too, but it is something that can be finished as a working-level person…”

“Hmm…”

Construction Minister Eiichi Nakao deepened the wrinkles on his forehead at the secretary’s words.

In a common sense, the secretary’s words were correct.

In the first place, in most countries, if you need technology for a state-led construction project, you can simply hire a foreign architectural design firm to do the work, but there is no reason to call the minister in charge on the diplomatic line and do what to do.

The problem is that the opponent is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

‘There must be a reason why you don’t want to announce something.’

Construction Minister Nakao, who turned sixty-two this year, quickly realized that there was something behind this meeting, with his old age nurtured in Japan’s political and bureaucratic society, which has long been no different from the battle of the devil.

Kitajosen (North Korea), the worst closed country in the world, is a country that is treated differently even within the communist bloc due to the maddening deification of the national leader and the mutual monitoring system between the overdone residents…

As such, if it was clear that such a different country was planning something, it was necessary to find out.

The reason was for Japan, but to be honest, it was also for Nakao’s personal interests.

It’s a bluff that North Korea, the best in the world, secretly mobilizes even the head of the Chongryon, so it will be valuable as information, and maybe it can be used as a useful card later.

Nakao himself is currently a construction worker, but he doesn’t know what kind of place he will be in the future.

“What are you going to do, Minister? Once you have a schedule, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to go out. Even if I send a chief of staff to the position……”

“No, I’m leaving. Where?”

“I said that it was an informal meeting, so we couldn’t see it from the main building. Let’s go to Ginza.”

Eventually, Nakao Construction Manager, accompanied by only one secretary, drove to a coffee shop in Ginza.

The teahouse, designed in the traditional Japanese style, was one of the favorite places for members of the House of Representatives or cabinet members of the nearby House of Representatives to have meetings that they did not want to publicize much.

Eventually, the door to the tea room opened, and construction minister Nakao gave a ceremonial welcome to a middle-aged man who came in with a young man who appeared to be a secretary.

“Welcome here, I heard that it is Kim Yong-geon, the chief of Chongryon. It is a bit surprising that the Republican side has had informal contact with the Ministry of Construction, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but let’s hear about it.”

“Nice to meet you. Mr. Nakao Construction. First of all, there are two things for today. The first of these is a problem that can be solved very easily. Strictly speaking, there is no need to even see the construction manager.”

When Kim Yong-geon explained the true purpose of this meeting in fluent Japanese, Nakao was a little surprised inside, but, like an old politician, he didn’t show anything on the outside.

“Haha, it can be easily solved… I also heard about the hotel. It’s a 100-story hotel… I’ve heard that people in the north of the Korean peninsula distribute it a lot, but I think that’s a bit too much… But I can’t even afford to go to the 100th floor.”

The answer to Nakao’s faint sneering words, ‘Are you doing something that we can’t even do to your economic circumstances?’

“Is that so, no matter how big the distribution is, would the people of Joseon only do it like a construction manager? It’s like trying to eat a whole multi-trillion-yen railroad project without pulling a feather. I’m very curious what the Japanese voters will think if they find out about this.”

“……??”

While he and his secretary were puzzled at the same time at the young man’s words, who unexpectedly responded to Nakao’s words, Yonggeon Kim bowed his head once more and revealed his identity.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t introduce myself right away when we first met. This person here is Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan. He came down from Pyongyang on a special mission from the general. This meeting with the Minister is not me, but Comrade Jeong Hwan, who has full authority.”

“………………”

Astonishment swept through the hall for a moment, and as Nakao Construction Manager swept Jeonghwan up and down with his eyes shining, Jeonghwan declared to Nakao in a still calm but clear voice.

“Nice to meet you. You are busy with construction, so it would be good to get into the business right away. I want to negotiate with the Minister. Please sell me half of the land for the Yamanote Loop Line construction that Minister Nakao has on behalf of Ishibashi Real Estate. Then I will transfer a certain portion of our stake in Takayama Real Estate .”
