Dear Comrade

Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 269

-If this is the case, Yanji, or the entire Yanbian area, will fall into the hands of the Joseon stingray buns!

-No, you can argue that you will separate and become independent rather than financially mortgage your sovereignty. I was worried because it was bigger than other minorities and didn’t mix well… … .

Originally, there are two main methods of integrating minority groups within a large empire within a large empire, regardless of east and west.

One is to allow peaceful assimilation into a larger group of states while allowing the maintenance of group identity, and the other is to forcibly dismantle the minority group, destroying the economic and cultural foundation, and forcibly assimilating within the mainstream group. will do

And it was natural that the Chinese Communist Party and Jilin Provincial Party’s response, which had gradually but surely become harsher on the ethnic groups in their country, including the Korean-Chinese, as well as the Uighurs and Tibetans, after the Shanghai terrorist attacks, should move to the latter method.

If this pro-North Korean faction, a pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese, which the Party considers to be a potential independence demand and separatist movement element, has a legal dispute with the pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese, it is increasingly difficult for a Chinese court to unilaterally grant the pro-Chinese side’s request. started to become more frequent.

China’s judicial system was biased enough to say that it is almost impossible for a foreigner to win a civil lawsuit, but in Yanbian, it was particularly severe.

Since North Korea, a friendly country, is also nearby, the use of force was intended to dismantle the pro-Chinese economic foundations and bring the initiative in Yanbian back to the pro-Chinese factions.

– Order, this People’s Court dismisses all of the plaintiff’s appeals. The plaintiff and the lessee Shim Jae-seol demanded the lessor Yeon Jeong-hak to pay all the overdue rent and damages… … .

– What kind of laws are there! Judge! hey!我肏你妈 (this bastard)! Is it true that that bastard is taking sides with the Cabal Committee right now? uh! am i wrong? You bastards! Isn’t this the law of that handsome big country?

In the lawsuit between the rental business pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese A and the pro-Chinese individual entrepreneur B, B lost a hundred battles.

Even if the rent was raised by 70% in an instant, even when the protesters were driven out by gangs, the public security and the authorities were consistently on the pro-China side.

However, unlike Tibet and Uyghurs, who were eventually fragmented and assimilated into China after this lack of economic independence, pro-family members who opened their eyes and unjustly lost their property had a place to go and complain.

The North Korean consulate in Yanbian was right there.

– What is this doing? Your comrades are currently violating the property rights of the people of the Republic.

-… … !! … … In any case, the judgment falls under the judicial sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China. No matter how I complain, I have no intention of listening, so go away knowing that. And people of the republic? These comrades are the people of the People’s Republic of China… … .

– By the way, isn’t the corporation established by those comrades a corporation established through investment by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) company, or a joint venture with a republican company, although the trading companies in Yanbian are the ones? Then, this absurd extortion of that company’s assets means that we do not respect the assets of our republic in the end, doesn’t it? I have informed you that this matter can turn into a diplomatic matter.

Due to the nature of the Yanbian region and the nature of a trading company, most of the companies that were targeted by public security and the local pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese were, of course, economically related to North Korea in some way.

And one more thing that came as a great surprise to the Korean-Chinese is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economic Affairs of North Korea, who received the news through the consulate, also worked with the Chinese authorities as much as possible in the case of damage to these North Korean businessmen (and pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese). that he had been fighting.

The Chinese side also knew that what they were doing was an indirect infringement of North Korean assets that had entered Yanbian, so if they protested on a diplomatic level, it would have resulted in much better results than giving up altogether.

Of course, such efforts did not diminish the partiality and politicization of the Chinese judicial system, although in most cases the pro-Chinese Korean-Chinese who brought the lawsuit ended up in defeat.

However, surprisingly (both Chinese and Korean-Chinese), the North Korean diplomatic authorities did not give in and continued to raise only nominal protests, providing legal assistance, consultations, and even the cost of arranging local lawyers to businesses in Yanbian.

It was also an act of defense against infringement of its own assets that had entered overseas, so it was not difficult to understand.

“Ah, Mr. Jung. what? Oh, haha, it’s best to see everything for yourself. … … Thank you, this is insignificant compared to the contributions President Chung and Hyundai Group contributed to this republic. Then come back and contact me again. Then come on.”

“Comrade General Secretary… … there… … I have something to say.”

“Something, Chief Jang?”

Pyongyang’s clerk’s office.

In front of Jeong-hwan, who put down the phone call from Yanbian, Jang Seong-taek, the foreign economy minister and deputy head of the Organizational Guidance Department, was swallowing his saliva, only looking for an opportunity to speak.

In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, he was practically in a position of ignorance, but he could not speak of what he was trying to say, and he was crouching with an uncomfortable expression.

“These things… … So, let me tell you all about the things that our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs are protesting like this… … Because it’s a creeper… … It is by no means questioning the leadership of our comrades, but… … .”

“Don’t drag, tell me. Have I not said many times that if there is a justifiable reason to object to my decision, I can say it without the rhetoric of ‘what about the question of leadership’?”

When Jung-hwan gave permission, Jang Seong-taek was only able to sigh and put his doubts out of his mouth.

In fact, it was a question I wanted to ask Jeonghwan at any time, not today, but I decided to bring it up now that I had not talked about it because it was so precious that I could not put it off any longer.

“… … Thank you, hmmm, girae, so what I want to say to my comrade is… … I will tell you all about the meaning of these things, such as filing a lawsuit with China, making a diplomatic protest, and doing it well… … After all, in China, the party’s orders are the highest priority and the law can change at any time, doesn’t your comrade already know well? How much more can Koreans say… … .”

“It’s not because I’m pretty either. I’m not naive enough to believe that Chinese comrades will take diplomatic protests from a small country like ours seriously.”

“Girum… … ?”

Jang Seong-taek tilted his head as if he knew everything, but Jung-hwan flopped down on his chair and continued.

“It’s to tell the pro-Joint faction and, moreover, all the people of Yanbian, who really fights for them, who they can lean on in case of emergency, and who, to put it bluntly, is the country that protects their wallets and property. As I always say, patriotism doesn’t matter. It’s patriotism to be in a country that protects your money, calls you, and doesn’t suddenly take it away.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what the end result will be for our republic… … .”

“I really don’t know, but? What is the first thing Chinese people do when they make money, doesn’t Vice Chancellor Zhang know best? And I am well aware of the underlying psychology underlying such behavior.”

“… … .”

At Jeonghwan’s words, Jang Seongtaek shut his mouth.

Not because he had nothing to say, but because he finally realized what Junghwan meant when he said that.

Jeonghwan also smiled, knowing that Jang Seong-taek had realized that, and answered the question himself.

“Yeah, Chinese businessmen, no, businessmen, party officials, celebrities and sports stars, the biggest trend these days for the wealthy in China is acquiring foreign citizenship or giving birth to a foreign country, right? Canada, Australia, Switzerland, UK… … After all, the anti-Chinese people in Hong Kong say, ‘There are a lot of members of the Chinese dual nationality club gathered over there,’ when they see two meetings like the National People’s Congress (两会).”

“… … I have heard and know that fort President Boshi-Lai is busy trying to stop him. In addition to internal crackdowns, every time someone is caught, they even publish an article in the People’s Daily, gaining popularity among people who can’t afford to go abroad… … .”

Jang Seong-taek shook his head, recalling what he had recently heard through sources here and there.

Of course, in spite of that, not only did he not touch his relatives and subordinates of his faction at all, but he also recalled that they were eating twice as much by stealing the fortunes of those who had been purged.

“As it is said in South Korea, ‘besides swordsman’ is a public enemy that everyone hates. It’s a good propaganda tool. In fact, our republic is doing the same to some extent. But what I want to say is… … . The countries I mentioned earlier are all countries with highly developed capitalism and systems that make it very difficult for the state to infringe on individual property rights. Why would rich Chinese people flock to such countries?”

“I’m going to go because I don’t know if the country will lose money at any time. In such Western capitalist countries, when they try to take people’s property by force, don’t they rise up like a swarm of bees, violating private property? Buying real estate is easy… … .”

“That’s right. But in China, that is impossible. Because the concept of respect for private property is not in the founding ideology of the state. Faced with the recent collapse of the real estate market and the economic damage caused by it, the Korean-Chinese, no, all of the people living in Yanbian must have felt such anxiety or doubts.”

“If you have this kind of anxiety… … .”

“Will this country be able to protect my property and my future? No, was he willing to do that? Isn’t that one day he’ll stick a gun to my head and take it all away? That’s the underlying anxiety. Then I’ll go ahead and think of other alternatives.”

“… … !!!!!”

Jang Sung-taek’s lips puckered silently like a crucian carp and then closed again.

It was because Jung-hwan was finally starting to accept that he was really, seriously, trying to push ahead with the plan for the subordination of the Korean-Chinese Autonomous Prefecture of Yanbian.

It was not that he was unaware of the supreme leader’s vision and compound plans before, and he had doubted that this might be the case, but at that time, he dismissed it as merely a delusion that could not be realized or a dream born of youthful spirit.

But now that I see, these plans that Jeonghwan has for Yanbian are not only very serious, but are already in the works.

And when his thoughts hit the aftermath that the general secretary’s plan might cause (which, in Jang’s opinion, almost certainly), he decides to do something that takes risks he would not normally take. did.

The act was to speak directly to the supreme leader with confidence.

“Comrade General Secretary. Comrade’s thoughts about Yanbian… … I must tell you with all my heart that the Chinese will not be very pleased if they find out.”

“Yeah, especially after a populist agitator like Bo Si Lai took power in China. They must have already begun to doubt my intentions to some extent on the other side.”

“… … Not to the point of being suspicious, he must have already entered a state of alert. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the recent unilateral infringement of the republic’s assets over there.”

“It has been a while since Xi Jinping was overthrown and President Bo came to power, but it is clear from the fact that no congratulatory messages have been sent to the secretary’s office except for ceremonial greetings. It must be that he is still standing still because he wants not to further increase the diplomatic risk due to riots from all directions, including Afghanistan.”

“You know so well… … !!!”

To Jung-hwan who said this casually, Jang Seong-taek became desperate for a moment and raised his voice without realizing it.

It was a felony that he would not have committed even in his dreams if it had been Jung-hwan’s loyal servant Jang Seong-taek, but that fact has disappeared from his mind for now.

For Jang Seong-taek, who has served the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea with three different Baekdu bloodlines for over 60 years, his top considerations have always been the maintenance of his power and his own safety.

When I was still young and full of blood, when I was a junior executive, before I became the president’s son-in-law, I was still passionate about it, but there were definitely times when I seriously ‘worried about the country’, but after I got older and old and, above all, suffered purges a few times. Selfishness and lust for power have taken their place.

It goes without saying that after Jeong-hwan came to power, reform and opening up, and the republic developed, a desire for money was added in its place.

However, Jang Sung-taek, who is the epitome of such a corrupt communist cadre, was too serious about the future of the Democratic Republic of Korea for this moment and was gripped by a sense of crisis, and he had to sincerely ask Jeong-hwan what his heart was saying.

Truly, it had been a long time since Jang Seong-taek’s own safety and the future of the country’s people coincided with two opposing goals.

If anyone could look into Jang Sung-taek’s heart at this moment, the remarks that came out of both his heart and his mouth could not be found before. He would have been shocked to find out that it originated from concern.

-Why is the comrade general secretary trying to do such a dangerous thing? Don’t you know that the Chinese people who hate division and independence the most in the world will never leave Comrade General Secretary and this republic alone if they find out about this? What does our republic gain from taking such risks?

-Why do you not know that not in the era of imperialism, nor in the 21st century, greed for land is a path that leads to destruction? What is it about Yanbian that you are trying to turn an enemy of China, which is dozens of times bigger and stronger than our republic, a country with a population of 1.4 billion? I’m worried that Jang Seong-taek may have a problem with the intelligence of Comrade General Secretary, who has led the Republic in its greatest heyday!

“… … Like I said before, this is a well-founded question. So please answer me.”

And to this irreverent question of Jang Seong-taek, Jeong-hwan calmly nodded his head in response to Jang Seong-taek’s cry.

It was a very short and concise statement.

“It’s because our republic needs a place to get out of its ‘buffer state’ and permanently shift its role.”
