Dear Comrade

Dear Comrade the Leader Episode 185

Chapter 66. prelude

‘What kind of weapons do you have to be involved in wherever and where our Joseon, a clearly independent sovereign state, buys any weapons?’

… … Baek Seung-cheol was like a chimney, but now he has developed a lot.

Gone are the days of a young military officer who ignorantly surrendered himself to his blood as in the past.

However, it was also unavoidable that his voice was slightly lowered, so it was fortunate that he was able to use the Chinese accent, which is not yet at the level of a native speaker, as an excuse.

“In that regard, our comrade general secretary also sought broad understanding from the great powers. Please understand that when I joined the OECD, I had no choice but to show favor with the purchase of arms with the help of the United States in many ways.”

“But Apache is known as a very cutting-edge weapon even within the U.S. military, and the fact that the U.S. Congress gave permission to sell it doesn’t mean that the U.S. is diplomatically treating North Korea as an ally?”

“There are many countries that are allies with the United States, but also have relations with great powers.”

“But I don’t have enough allies to sell me weapons. Although I am sorry to Mr. Baek, some of the Communist Party of China are saying that they are afraid that Joseon will make a mistake by neglecting the 50-year DPRK-China relationship and throwing away the flag of socialism.”

“… … Can you tell me where some of you are thinking like that?”

When Baek Seung-cheol frowned slightly as if he was offended by the commanders of the People’s Liberation Army who didn’t even think about hiding their feelings, they kept their mouths shut for a while, as if they thought they were being too explicit.

After a moment of awkward silence, Baek Seung-cheol persuaded the commanders of the People’s Liberation Army as if frustrated because he did not know the truth.

“Whew… … Comrades, think about it. Saudi Arabia also buys US weapons. Israel is also armed with American weapons, but isn’t it very close to China these days? As far as I know, it is even known that Korea had a joint military exercise earlier than ours a while ago, so can it be said that our Joseon is also neglecting the DPRK-China friendship on the side of the great powers?”

“… … Israel is a small but strong military power, and it is very important for our People’s Liberation Army to share their achievements in operational tactics… … .”

“That’s what I mean, comrades. International relations are multifaceted, and today’s enemy can be tomorrow’s friend, and today’s friend can be tomorrow’s enemy. The deeper the water, the quieter it flows, so let’s not offend the relationship between the two groups with such trivial things.”

“… … .”

The commanders of the People’s Liberation Army kept their mouths shut at Baek Seung-cheol’s words, which were smooth at first glance but contained various subtle meanings, but still did not erase their skeptical expression.

Soon, joint training began.

In line with the training goal of counter-terrorism training, the training was conducted assuming a number of situations, including terrorist situations in urban areas.

On board the People’s Liberation Army helicopter, the strike force of the Air Land Squadron of the Korean People’s Army, the Chinese People’s Armed Police Unit, and the armed forces of the People’s Liberation Army descended at once and began airlifting to the target point.

As if it was a joint exercise that depended on their own prestige and proved the quality of the People’s Liberation Army, which was selected from among 1.4 billion people, from shooting to airlifting, Doha, and indoor fighting, the armed forces of the armed forces showed excellent operational capabilities, but the forces of the Korean People’s Army never lagged behind.

Since the contents of the joint training were agreed upon, the military budget, which has been trained to die for this day (rolled), and has been continuously increased under the attention of the supreme leader, has enabled that enthusiasm to be linked to actual results.

The commanders of the People’s Liberation Army of the People’s Liberation Army of China, who had been ignoring the Korean People’s Army as it was an army of a small country, seemed astonished when the special warfare units of the Korean People’s Army achieved similar or even surpassing the unarmed forces.

Finally, when the sniper training to sniper a target 2km away, the soldiers recruited from the Korean People’s Army maritime sniper brigade showed their skills beyond those of the snipers belonging to the armed forces, and their faces hardened.

However, Baek Seung-cheol, who was watching this scene, seemed rather gloomy rather than proud.

In the past, he would have been thrilled with the fact that he had won this quiet battle for pride, but to tell the truth, Baek Seung-cheol’s mind was quite complicated.

‘Anyway, whether China or Korea, the military gets stronger as much as it costs money. A true military power like the United States is the special operations force, but it is far ahead of us in areas such as chasers and direct-victim planes. ‘

Of course, Baek Seung-cheol did not think that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army would remain in its current state forever.

Thanks to China’s gradually developing economic power, China’s defense budget is also rising at a rapid pace.

If we had seen the increase in China’s defense budget from 2008, when the Chinese economy took a full-fledged leap in the original history, we would not have seen this joint exercise with Baek Seung-cheol as meaningless. They only looked like second-class special forces.

In addition, as he deeply felt in the Persian Gulf War (Gulf War), Baek Seung-cheol was well aware that no matter how few special operations forces flew and crawl, the influence they had on the strategic unit was not as great as that of a single fourth-generation fighter.

So, if he had conducted a large-scale training in which the strategic assets of the naval and naval forces of both countries had been dispatched, he might have observed the training with a little enthusiasm, but that’s not the case.

In addition, it was even more so since they knew exactly what the People’s Liberation Army Special Operations Forces and security forces were created and mobilized for, and what plans they had in case of an emergency.

“I don’t think the Special Operations Forces of great powers really have any hesitation.”

“ha ha ha! Isn’t it natural to do a lot of practical training like usual? I heard that the Joseon side is also very enthusiastic about training, but there is nothing we can do about it because it is not good enough for actual combat.”

“… … I’ve heard of that ‘actual battle’ story, and I’m well aware of it. Since it was aimed at civilians, it was difficult to call it a real battle rather than dealing with the real army… … What, isn’t it something we should do as a sword of the Party and the people?”

The expressions on the faces of the commanders of the People’s Liberation Army changed subtly at Baek Seung-cheol’s words.

He noticed that he pointed out that the policemen were mainly used to subdue local residents in Tibet and Uyghurs by force and bring them under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.

Blockade of the Dalai Lama Palace in Tibet, and putting Uyghurs in concentration camps, giving no food or water if they fail to memorize the CCP’s program, the direct perpetrators of the genocide and atrocities of minorities are now training with the Korean People’s Army (KPA). aren’t they

“… … What does Comrade Baek’s words mean?”

“Ah, I understand well enough, so please don’t misunderstand me. The role of the last bulwark in maintaining social order through top and bottom clothes was not the greatest duty of the military. Don’t worry about it, as we are not trying to judge the events of a great nation according to their own standards like the West or the United States.”

Baek Seung-cheol comforted the commanders of the People’s Liberation Army who reacted sensitively, but he was still disturbed by watching the virtual training using live bullets without hesitation even in the situation where the hostage was held right next to him.

Baek Seung-cheol’s confusion was not a paranoid delusion, but had his own reasons.

Unlike the Korean People’s Army, that is, the army guarding the armistice line with South Korea (or, the Korean People’s Army), both sides mobilized border guards, not the military, on the border between Korea and China.

North Korea mobilizes the Korean People’s Guard, and in the case of China, it mobilizes the armed forces belonging to the armed forces to guard against it. I knew it well.

In other words, if you look at it, it’s virtual, but watching the virtual training scene, how can you feel at ease?

Those criminals and vigilantes would be fierce without any hesitation or hesitation even when the target of their guns was set to Joseon rather than Tibet or their own ethnic minority.

‘The vigilance of Comrade General Secretary is right. In the future, the real enemy of our republic will not be the United States, the West, or South Korea, but these people, China.’

“I heard about the renovation of the new office building. Congratulations. Our Party accepts it as a proclamation that in the future, Joseon will walk the path of reform and opening up and prospering, just like China led by Comrade Jiang Zemin.”

“Thank you. It’s all thanks to the insight of Comrade General Secretary. After all, I think we should get along well with the leaders of Korea and China.”

“… … Right across the river from the old office building? They told me to put new wine in a new bottle. Not only in the Party, but also in the Korean People’s Army, which is the military of the Joseon Dynasty, it is delicious to have noodles with Comrade Baek Sang-sang instead of Hong Gye-seong, the second-in-comrade I usually see.”

“… … Comrade Hong Cha-su is very ill now. you are old There is nothing strange about it.”

“So, in the future, isn’t the Korean army going to be led by Comrade Paik? Comrade Baek and our commanders of the People’s Liberation Army here are going to work together in the party forces of our two countries to do great things, so we have something we can trust and confide in.”

“… … ?”

Baek Seung-cheol suddenly tilted his head as he looked at the officers of the People’s Liberation Army who were holding the weight while bringing up the story of the new building as if he were looking at him.

In fact, Hong Gye-seong, who should be called the first leader of the Korean People’s Army as they say, was halfway back from working because he had been suffering from an illness for several years.

And immediately after that, the high ranks Jang-ryeong and Baek Seung-cheol themselves are actually exercising the military power of the People’s Army with the approval of the general secretary. It was a ‘Please take care of me’.

What the heck are you trying to bring up an important story, so you’re talking so much?

“… … It seems like a pretty important thing, but this Baek Seung-cheol has a heavy mouth, so let’s talk about it. Isn’t it right to share concerns about security among military officers of allied countries?”

“Then we will get a hundred awards and… … Comrade Paik will trust and confide in the person acting on his behalf. In fact, the People’s Liberation Army also has its own twists and turns in accepting General Paik’s request to change today’s DPRK-China joint exercise to a counter-terrorism exercise instead of the amphibious drill that we initially insisted on.”

“… … ?”

Baek Seung-cheol began to listen to them without missing a word, as they showed signs of divulging something unusual.

The content of today’s joint training was an amphibious drill (assuming the restoration of Taiwan), but they suffered a lot to get their minds tied up. Is there another reason for that?

“actually… … Recently, our intelligence authorities, including the Ministry of National Security, have repeatedly raised warnings that the threat of terrorism against large cities in China is increasing. Today’s training is part of preparing for that.”
