Dear Comrade

Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 242

“What, what… … ?”

Recently, Ri Kyung-soo has often had a strange experience that the words he heard with both ears were not directly entered into the brain.

The most recent experience like this was during a one-on-one meeting with the general secretary, but now, in a sense, it is more shocking than then.

However, regardless of the truth or not, the twisted tongue and trembling eyes from shock had a bad effect on making people look like liars.

“I see you stutter, so it’s just that! Isn’t that right? He turned away, sold all his comrades, and came out alive! am i wrong? You renegade Jongganna bastard who will not be enough even if you shred this leg stick!”

“Wow, what a crazy thing to say! I never turned around! Why the hell… … .”

“If you haven’t converted, why are you suddenly picking up the praises of the murderous dictator Kim Jeong-hwan? ok? If it wasn’t for conversion, how did those guys at the Ministry of Public Security let Ri Kyung-soo free you? Seeing that he has grown up to a very old age, I can only hope that he came out with a reward for saying that the actors of the Hakchongryon anti-party were well confessed and dedicated!”

“Tell me! What do you think the public security department will give you if they convert? You say you give me a beautiful piece of money? Otherwise, after graduating from school, are you promising a new full-time position in the Party’s Ministry of Finance and Economy, the Investment Corporation, or the Petroleum Corporation? No, you’ve been a spy since the formation of our alliance, didn’t you?”

“Zegi! Somehow from the beginning, I had suspicions that our Dongtae kept leaking into the party and the public, but there was a dirty rat hiding inside from the beginning! I never even dreamed that I would have been in the delegation cadres! I’ll have to clean up one of the skills of planting prackchi for the public security department!”

In an instant, whether it was to celebrate Ri Kyung-soo’s safe return or to celebrate his peaceful return, the drinking party changed with bloody threats and shouts.

The change in such a brief moment made Ri Kyung-soo suspicious that from the beginning his comrades had set up a drinking party to find out if he had really turned.

However, Ri Kyung-soo, who still had a strong attachment to his comrades and the past he spent with them, defended himself as if he vomited blood.

“Hey, comrades! Please calm down! Me, I never turned! I never betrayed my fighting spirit even in that kwanliso, even in the midst of the agony of him and his many seniors and comrades falling for the gullibility of the party! Why are you here, I’m Lee Kyung-soo! Your classmate and comrade Ri Kyungsoo! Please trust me!”

“Are you going to fall for the rumors? Who said it?”

It was then that the Hakchongryon delegates, who seemed to be lynching Ri Kyung-soo at any moment with a cold light flashing from their eyes, paused for a moment.

When they finally showed a little reaction, Ri Kyung-soo became desperate and recalled his memories of the Kwanliso.

Since there was no such thing as a trivial proof, all that was left was to give the name of a person who could serve as a witness.

“that… … Professor Kim Il-cheol, who was a professor in charge of socialist economics at Kim University, knows everyone? I met that professor comrade at the kwanliso, and I’ve already turned into a party dog! The general secretary said that now that most of the prisoners in the kwanliso have converted, it’s time to release them… … Whoa!”

blah blah

For a moment, a star twinkled in Ri Kyung-soo’s eyes.

Before he could finish speaking, someone had slapped the back of the head with a bottle of Taedonggang Beer lying on the table.

“Where do you pick up dirty false bastards, you traitor in this struggle, you servant of dictatorship! Can’t you close that mouth right now! Did you even lose the courtesy to the seniors in the struggle because you lacked apostasy?”

“Professor Il-cheol Kim, comrade Lee Kyung-soo, was caught by the public security department holding you by the leash, and his whereabouts are still unknown! As you said, if he turned away earlier, how come you crawl out first, and he’s still alive or dead!”

“You haven’t recognized me since I was beautifying Kim Jung-hwan with my honey-coated tongue! I can’t do this, comrades! He must have rotted to the very root of his ideology and became voluntary slaves of the party and the system! where do you die This renegade, a follower of a murderous dictatorship that has violated human morality!”

“Ahh… … !! Comrades! Talk to me for a moment… … !!! ahhh… … !!! please… … !!”

Soon, merciless beatings poured over Ri Kyung-soo’s body.

Ri Kyung-soo was toppled on the floor in the violence of dozens of people, from fists and feet to empty beer bottles.

But what was more painful than his body was his mind full of chaos that he had no idea why he had become like this.

Why did these comrades change so much?

Aren’t they comrades who once stood shoulder to shoulder with themselves and fought against dictatorship with pure wrath and passion for democratic revolution more than anyone else?

More than anyone else in the world, Ri Kyung-soo didn’t care if he knew the answer, as long as he knew the answer, why his comrades, who could give him if he asked for his life, denounced him as a traitor and turned him into a devil.

No, maybe the general secretary was right.

Just as the prisoners at the kwanliso were always ready to renounce, they may have been ready to change at any time.

It may just be that he has been holding on like an idiot without ever knowing about it.

Either way, the group’s lynching of Ri Kyung-soo stopped after a while when he passed out.

He was beaten much worse than when he was beaten by a police officer a few months ago, and the delegation of the Hakchongryon poured cold water on Ri Kyung-soo, who had lost his mind and was drenched in blood.

“Turn it off now! You renegade Ganna bastard! If you set foot on this gimdae again, then you will know that you will not be able to go out as well as today!”

* * *

“… … I thought we might see each other again, but honestly, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.”

“… … Did you order me to follow you?”

“okay. I thought this was going to happen. Judging from the appearance, it seems that my prediction was correct.”

“… … .”

Jeonghwan spoke as if he was appreciating Ri Kyungsoo’s face with his lips popping, his eyes swollen, and a scab on his forehead, but Ri Kyungsoo couldn’t say anything.

Not so long ago, I would have tried to spit out my life, saying, ‘Isn’t this all your fault, Comrade General Secretary!’

And obviously the cause wasn’t just physical pain.

“Anyway, it seems that comrade is no longer able to return to Kim’s way. Actually, when he was young, he tried to drop out once, and once formed an anti-government organization with his classmates, and then he was betrayed. I also left for Japan when I was around the age of a comrade to escape the beasts of the former general, so I think it will be a little more comfortable to think that I graduated from school early and became a member of society a little earlier. junior comrade.”

“… … .”

When Ri Kyung-soo still didn’t respond, he said, ‘Well, am I too old to make jokes like this?’ Jeonghwan scratched his head.

To explain for a moment, they are currently located in a luxury apartment in downtown Pyongyang, to be more precise, a safe house owned by the Ministry of Public Security.

Ri Kyung-soo, who was lynched by his former comrades and was coming out of a kiln that was covered in blood, was approached by an official vehicle bearing the insignia of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and it was here that he rode him and ran like the wind.

And the person who was waiting for him as if he had foreseen it in advance, General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan, turned the topic around while looking around Ri Kyung-soo, where he was broken and bleeding.

“From the point of view of running an organization, I think that punishment for traitors is the physiology of an organization that must be carried out, but nonetheless, the comrades who claim to be fighting against a dictatorship like myself, who said they were fighting against a dictatorship like myself, did it to their former executives, and this is too harsh. ha ha Now, can you see the reality of the struggle you have committed to?”

“… … General Secretary, did you order it? Do you intend for me to suffer like this?”

Ri Kyung-soo’s words this time were not as harsh and high-pitched as before, but very low and calm, but behind them was a huge anger that could not be compared to before.

If Jeonghwan had answered ‘yes’, this time, Ri Kyungsoo might have run into Junghwan and strangled him, regardless of what happened next.

In fact, speaking ‘you’ to General Secretary Kim Jung-hwan, who is the absolute power of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is a felony that will immediately kill even a high-ranking Central Party official, but what is the fear of a person who has already lost everything?

However, instead of getting angry at Ri Kyung-soo’s attitude at risking his life, Jung-hwan’s answer, which seemed to be very funny, was neither positive nor negative.

“Comrade Ri Kyung-soo. Don’t ask me, ask yourself first. What do you think? Have you ever thought before my fortune that your comrades were originally like that? You just refused to face it yourself. And, the owner? Oh my gosh, you’re overestimating yourself.”

“… … Khhh… … .”

“More than anything else, even if there is no such thing as a comrade’s conversion, Hak Chongryon is bound to collapse sooner rather than later. By the way, do you think that I, the head of state of this republic, will instruct each and every one of those troublesome things to convert a comrade who is only a little over 20 years old? In the reports of public security psychologists, it was said that all Hakchon-ryon executives were bloated with self-consciousness, but they are paying their money.”

It was a much harsher and more painful torture than ‘Get that disrespectful guy out now and put peas in his head’.

Fortunately, Jeong-hwan did not have the bad taste of hacking into pieces of ruins that had already collapsed, so he gave Ri Kyung-soo some time to repair his destroyed pieces.

After a while, the first question that came out of Ri Kyung-soo’s mouth, which seemed to have settled the shock, was a bit unexpected.

“… … Why are you so confident that the Hak Chongryon will collapse soon? Comrade General Secretary doesn’t seem to be a person who is so easily convinced… … .”

“Damn it, are you still worried about your ex-comrades after being like that? I have to admit one useless loyalty. But for now, if you tell me, you won’t understand. Just to give you a hint, and for that very reason, let’s just say that me and my agents have been roaming around Silicon Valley and elsewhere lately.”

“… … ?”

Even after hearing Jeonghwan’s reply, which seemed to be favoritism, Ri Kyungsoo couldn’t help but tilt his head.

What does that have to do with the collapse of Silicon Valley in California, USA?

Ri Kyung-soo was confused, but it didn’t seem like he would get a cool answer if he had to ask more.

In fact, as the general secretary himself pointed out, just by having the opportunity to speak with the general secretary like this now, is not Ri Kyung-soo a Korean-American people enough to think that his descendants are Gwangyeong?

However, since Ri Kyung-soo has been enjoying the great glory twice in a few days, he did not know whether to call this lucky or bad.

Of course, considering the situation he is facing now and what has just happened, even if he enjoys the opportunity to meet the general secretary in person, of course, he will be terribly out of luck.

“I can’t understand, I can’t understand at all… … Just because you said that we should change the path of struggle, you wouldn’t expect me to be so cruel to you after fighting with me for such a long time… … I risked death for them… … .”

“Maybe that’s why.”

“… … ?? What does that mean?”

“I don’t even know if I can think of it myself. Let me think. What is it that the comrades of the Hakchongnyeon have recently received the attention of foreign reporters, and the favorable gaze of the people of the republic, who has become cold, has been focused on Hakchongryeon again? Isn’t it because the body came out differently than before?”

“… … .”

“However, since the corpse comes back to life and walks around, even making noises that are uncomfortable for them to hear, how can they be happy even if the corpse is the corpse of their comrade? Like I said, I’m not a bad buddy, so I think I’ll understand if you explain this to me… … If the funeral is in Fatuna, you won’t be able to collect the subsidy.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha… … Uhhh… … .”

I was disappointed.

It was so frustrating that Ri Kyung-soo just laughed.

As Jeong-hwan said, Ri Kyung-soo was a person with an understanding above the average of the people of the Republic, so he immediately understood why the Hakchon-ryon comrades did not welcome his unexpected return very quickly, despite the general secretary’s harsh expression.

I just didn’t want to believe it.

No matter how much Ri Kyung-soo himself started voluntarily, how could his comrades only see him as if he had died and came back alive?

Ri Kyung-soo was not yet old enough to experience the bitter taste of the world to receive and digest the bitter truth at once.

Ri Kyung-soo, who had been voicing a mixture of beast-like weeping, moaning and laughter for a while, gradually regained his composure as time passed.

Once he was able to think soberly, his first thought was, of course, why the supreme power of the republic paid so much unnecessary attention to a man who had been betrayed twice like himself.

“… … What is it that Comrade General Secretary has called me here and wants to say more? First of all, I know for sure that you wouldn’t have taken the time to make fun of a mere worm like me.”

When Ri Kyung-soo finally got out of despair and was ready for a conversation, General Secretary Jeong-hwan slowly got up and started to get into the subject.

This man is now broken enough to break.

Now all that was left was to pick up the broken pieces and refit them into the desired shape.

“If you look at the history of all ages, no matter which system, unless it shows an unbearable level of incompetence or tyranny, no, even if it shows, the people with 90 to 9 pennies can afford to spend roughly every day. You show amazing patience to endure. Humans are creatures of adaptation and inertia.”

“… … ?”

“… … But in the hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people, there are bound to be comrades-like people, protruding awls. It is common knowledge that the safety and happiness of one’s life is the best for any human being, but if you look closely at history, this is not always the case. Even though it’s really rare, these kinds of things are sure to come out of me. Like most of the comrades who came to the kwanliso and you, comrade Ri Kyung-soo.”
