Dear Comrade

Chapter 8. Swirling Republic (1)

Chapter 8. Swirling Republic (1)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!!!!

“Aaa!!!!!”

“Ahhh!!!!!!”

“Get down! U top!”

As soon as he heard the explosions and screams, Jeonghwan attacked Yoo Hye-rim, who was next to him, and fell flat on the floor together.

In the midst of shaking, breaking, and collapsing in all directions, a siren sounded in Jeonghwan’s head that something was seriously wrong.

Of course, the reason for the siren was completely different from the other people around now who are in the crucible of chaos and fear.

‘Damn it! The bomb went off too early!!!’

Jang Seong-taek, who had just been talking next to him, had an intuition that something was unusual, so he hurriedly fell to the floor and covered his head with both hands.

Rumble rumble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dumpling Dumpling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Shortly after the binge, waves of debris and dust hit them like a tsunami.

The aftermath of the collapse of the 76-story building was unbearable, no matter how much I had anticipated in advance.

Dust covered the sky, and stones fell like showers of rain overhead.

And after all of that had subsided to some extent, Junghwan lifted his head slightly off the floor and looked around.

“You’re ok, are you okay?”

“I, I am fine. By the way, Comrade Junghwan. This…….”

“Yeah, right. I think something is wrong.”

When Jeonghwan signaled Jeonghwan with his finger pointing at Jang Seong-taek, who was still lying on his back with his head bowed, Yoo Hye-rim noticed and only then nodded.

From now on, I had to be alert.

“Comrade Zhang, please wake up. Where are you hurt?”

“I, I… what the hell is this… what the hell is this?”

“The hotel collapsed. I think we need to find Leader Kim Il-sung and General Kim Jong-il soon.”

“Comrade Su-sugi…. That’s right! We need to find Kim Il-sung, and General! Where and what are all the guards doing?”

As soon as he heard the words ‘Sir’ and ‘General’, Jang Seong-taek jumped up from his seat and tried to run somewhere.

He put it on his back and threw a word as if Jeonghwan didn’t care.

“You saved a life thanks to me, Comrade Jang Seong-taek. So I hope you forget what I said earlier.”

“……………………”

With those words, Jang Seong-taek, who was just about to run out of the wreckage of the tent, stopped right there.

Looking back slowly, he asked again with a trembling voice.

“…Comrade Jeonghwan, what did you just say……?”

“Ah, if I had not ‘accidentally’ called Director Jang to this place, he would have been on the podium by now. Isn’t this all the will of heaven to live long and dedicate more to the Republic?”

“That’s right.”

“Then go ahead. And this is my opinion, but since all of the comrades in the National Security Agency are out of the country, and the escort country will also suffer a lot, wouldn’t it be better for the director of the Ministry of Social Security under the Party to give instructions? I am not touching the military power, so the general will understand in the future.”

“…that’s a good idea.”

Even after saying this, Jang Seong-taek remained hesitant as if he had something to say and did not leave the tent.

Jeonghwan, who had guessed his heart, opened his mouth first with his eyes shining.

“……Do you have anything more to say?”

“Comrade Jeonghwan, you called me earlier… What was your business?”

“Ah, it’s just because of the trivial party business. Now that I’ve come to see it, it’s useless, but Comrade Jang seems to have been blessed with good fortune. The general will also be pleased.”

“Because of minor party affairs… Is that really true? Did you have any other intentions?”

In response to Jang Seong-taek’s meaningful question, Jung-hwan wiped the dust off his face and smiled.

“ha ha ha. Wouldn’t it be natural? So, is it possible for a party worker like me to have any other intentions? Sorry to bother you.”

“…No. Thanks to you, I saved a life. I hope the general is okay too. ….but it is highly probable that no.”

When Jang Seong-taek disappeared as if he was making an excuse at the end, Jeong-hwan immediately turned his head to Yoo Hye-rim.

“I stay here to help with the rescue operation. It’s perfect to suspect that you left the dining room right now. Senior Yu immediately contacted Hong and other comrades. The life or death of the most important person has not been confirmed, so please do not be reckless. ….God damn it.”

“Comrade, to say that something was wrong earlier…”

“okay.”

Junghwan rolled his feet on the messy floor as if he couldn’t contain his anger.

Otherwise, I couldn’t stand it.

To put your own interests ahead of things that could be blown up one after another if you made a mistake.

“Baek Seung-cheol is a bastard who can’t even chew on it. You detonated the bomb 30 seconds early. With the intention of eliminating Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il at the same time. damn it I said that I had to keep Kim Il-sung alive!”

– The third condition, Kim Jong-il is the only one to be killed. Leave President Kim Il-sung alive.

When I first met Baek Seung-cheol next to the construction site of the Ryugyong Hotel, the last of the three conditions Jeong-hwan proposed was ‘Kim Il-sung’s survival’.

There was also the problem that if Kim Il-sung, who had already been deified within the republic, was killed, a vacuum of power would occur and there would be too many variables, but above all, it was essential for Jeong-hwan himself to smoothly inherit power and become an orthodox leader.

However, that condition was also the most difficult condition for the Frunze faction, to be more precise, General Baek Seung-cheol.

– Comrade Jeonghwan, do you think that makes sense now? If it is because of the blood and blood that the President is the father of Comrade Jeong Hwan…

– I’m not shy about that, so put it away, and it makes sense. If you even kill Kim Il-sung, the republic will be plunged into uncontrollable chaos. Even if you leave behind only the symbolism of an old man without real power, you must never kill him. At that moment, General Baek and the Frunze clan will become enemies of the entire Republic.

– All right, but why do you have to destroy the hotel and kill it? There are many ways to kill Kim Jong-Il, either by shooting it with a gun, by poisoning it, or by blowing it up with an anti-aircraft gun… Why such a cumbersome method…

– It must be this way. Because this also coincides with the second condition of winning the people’s hearts. The former citizens of Pyongyang should be able to see with their own eyes the failure of their general.

The essence of the plan to destroy the Ryugyong Hotel and eliminate Kim Jong-il had already been established by Jeong Hwan long ago.

In the republic, Kim Jong-il was already wielding a real power as powerful as his father, Kim Il-sung, and in just a few years, as in history, he would take away even the remaining power from his father and become the de facto leader.

Starting with the General Bureau of Guard, most of the armed groups such as the National Security Agency had already been handed over to him, and all the people of the Republic, including Pyongyang citizens, knew that he would become the next leader in the footsteps of Kim Il-sung.

Kim Jong-il’s ability as a leader is not enough, but most people do not know or do not know about it.

In North Korea, where freedom of the press has been spoiled a long time ago, Kim Jong-il, who has already started to block the eyes and ears of his father, Kim Il-sung, has no way of knowing it no matter how incompetent and incompetent he is.

Then, let’s create an undeniable blemish, a great failure that can’t be hidden.

Kim Jong-il’s credibility will suffer a fatal blow if he gathers all the citizens of Pyongyang and shows him the revolutionary task that Kim Jong-il has publicized with his own merits and his father’s birthday gift, Kim Il-sung, turns to dust in front of his eyes. .

The Security Council will take control and the censorship will be strict enough that it will not appear in any newspapers, but it cannot stop everyone’s mouth.

What’s more, Kim Jong-il has chosen and gathered only the most reliable core classes in Pyongyang based on his loyalty to him, making everything much easier.

‘If Baek Seung -cheol weren’t only the cubs of the world!’

With his teeth growling, Jeonghwan thought as he walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, there was a riot of people screaming for help, groans of people still holding their breath, and the sound of explosions, and the military units who came and started rescue operations were chaotic.

Of course, the highest priority in the rescue operation, which involved the most personnel, was, of course, the life and death of President Kim Il-sung, the two suns of the Republic, and his son, General Kim Jong-il.

‘Detonating a bomb 30 seconds early! Doesn’t this little bastard know that if he makes a mistake, his three legs can be crushed by a millstone?’

In a risky plan of blast and assassination, Jeong-hwan took the risk of attending the event himself to avoid suspicion.

If Jeonghwan, who was in charge of construction materials, did not attend and an accident occurred, it would be very suspicious to anyone.

Of course, I prepared everything I could in advance.

One of the two strongest tents located in the safest place after calculating the extent of the falling debris was where Jeonghwan had been hiding a while ago.

The other, of course, was where Kim Il-sung would sit.

– That’s great, Comrade Jeonghwan. How did you learn these tricks?

– One of my acquaintances is a real estate agent who does a bit of a mess.

If everything went as planned, the bomb would have exploded the moment Kim Il-sung finished shaking hands with Kim Jong-il on the podium, went down and took a seat in the tent, and only Kim Jong-il was left on the podium.

The bomb was installed by a reliable military officer under Baek Seung-cheol.

It was not difficult because many of the workers initially mobilized for the construction were soldiers of the Pyongyang Defense Command under his command.

The problem was that Baek Seung-cheol insisted on having the detonator himself.

– Don’t worry, I’ll explode at the exact time Comrade Jeonghwan told me.

“The exact time you told me to freeze to death……!!!”

Although it was disappointing, Jeonghwan did not oppose it until the end because he thought about the backlash that would occur if he had a detonator and was shot.

In the plan they had originally agreed to, the bomb should have been detonated 30 seconds late.

Only then can Kim Il-sung move to a safe place and annihilate only Kim Jong-il and the troops of the General Guards, which was the original goal.

However, this idiot Baek Seung-cheol detonated the bomb even though Kim Jong-il had not yet reached the stage due to his desire to eliminate even Kim Il-sung at once.

“Ughhh……………

“Ahhh…!!!! Oh, Oh Mani……!!!”

Outside the tent, the ruins of a high-rise building that looked like a mountain was collapsing were full of injured people who had been directly hit.

Of course, soldiers and security guards, tens of thousands of troops rushed to help clear up the rubble and rescue the wounded.

The problem is that most of that manpower went into finding the leader of the republic, Kim Il-sung, and his son, General Kim Jong-il, who are far more valuable than all of the people here combined.

Others were completely out of touch.

At that moment, there was a voice calling for Jeonghwan urgently from somewhere.

“There is a man under the pole here! Anyone lend me a hand!”

“Go now. Wait a minute!’

In response to an urgent rescue request from nearby, Jeonghwan immediately ran and grabbed the wreckage and supported the moaning crowd.

“Hey! hey! Use a little more force!”

Awesome profit…..

Kurreung….

Koo!

When several people gathered their strength, a huge block of concrete was pushed to one side, and the people trapped under it cheered for the joy of life.

“thank you! Thank you, student comrade!”

“I have not forgotten this grace!”

‘What would these people look like if they knew that I was the culprit of this accident…’

Jung-hwan could not help but complicate himself at the thought of staying at the scene of the accident to play a party member loyal to the Republic and General Kim Jong-il and helping rescue him.

It was his intention, but when he saw the victims vividly in front of him, who had pushed them to the other side of his mind when making the plan, Jeonghwan felt for a moment an instinctive guilt and compassion for what he had done, but soon he shook his head to shake the thought. paid

‘Anyway, the people who are here today are mostly the core classes and military officers living in Pyongyang. Those who contributed to the maintenance of this most corrupt republic on earth, whether more or less, voluntarily or by others, think that they are paying a small price for it.’

In fact, the reason that Jeonghwan still remains at the accident site was to avoid suspicion, but other reasons were more important.

Because there were facts that had to be confirmed.

And of course that’s true….

“I found the general! Come back, Comrade Medical Officer!”

“General! Do you have any injuries? what one! Come on, without preparing a direct flight (helicopter)! It means to quickly bring him to the military or wherever he is!”

“Call all the doctors comrades! The other wounded don’t care! Aren’t you supposed to take care of the general first?”

“………………………………”

In response to the cheers and urgent requests that echoed from one corner of the venue, a chilly chill ran through Junghwan’s body like an electric current.

Kim Jong-il was alive .
