Dear Comrade

＜ Chapter 21. New Sun of the Republic (3) ＞

Chapter 21. new sun of the republic (3)

Kim Myung-ae, the ‘mother’ of Jeong-hwan, who became a ‘woman of the chieftain’ and gave birth to a son (though, of course, the son is not the son he is today), died suddenly and saw that his son became the leader of the republic. It was complicated, but anyone could guess.

However, when he first heard the news of Kim Il-sung’s death and saw Kim Myung-ae weeping like a fountain, Jung-hwan had no choice but to feel the emotions that are difficult to express.

– Heuk-heuk… Chief… Now, what are the rest of us leaving already…. Is there such a change…

– ….don’t be too sad, mother.

‘Yeah, are you still crying because your husband was absurd? Or the sorrow of losing a leader who is not a husband, similar to other people? Either way…’

Junghwan swallowed the words “It hurts my heart” at that moment.

The deceased Kim Il-sung may not have been the father from Jeong-hwan’s point of view, but to Kim Myung-ae, he is the biological father of his only son.

Although she was treated like a flower of the shadows, she was never able to say her husband’s name, let alone recognition and treatment as a wife.

Seeing Kim Myung-ae mourning the death of Kim Il-sung for some reason or loyalty to the leader despite having been treated like that for the rest of his life, Jeong-hwan erases his thoughts, ‘This person is also one of the people who have been brainwashed after all.’ couldn’t

But in the next moment, hearing Kim Myung-ae’s words, Jung-hwan had to withdraw his thoughts.

It was not because she was grieving over the death of Kim Il-sung, but because she was weeping for a completely different reason.

– But think about it, Jeonghwan-ah. Didn’t I tell you that now you must become the chief and lead this republic? How the heck did that happen… This Emmy still has her heart pounding and can’t breathe…

– Nothing will hurt your mother. In addition, Chief Abaddy has taught me a lot over the past year, and there are many elders from the party and military who will turn to me for help, so I don’t need to worry…

– This Emmy isn’t worried about that. Jung Hwan-ah. Please be careful. Few people in this republic who came close to the sun were unharmed, but now that you are the sun, how can you not worry about this mother? This Emmy only resents the president. What the hell is the tin from you?

I wonder if he saw you and dragged you into a difficult task…

– ………..mother.

– Why don’t we just let our hats live quietly… Even if you think that your ignorant wife is unlucky to intervene in the affairs of elders and party officials, you can’t help it, but just take care of yourself, Jeonghwan-ah. You just have to take care of yourself…. Success is hard to climb, but harder to go down.

It’s difficult… Jeonghwan-ah… This Emmy, Jeonghwan, is really worried about you… How can you handle this… I would have been satisfied just to show you…

Junghwan’s heart ached at the words of Kim Myung-ae, whom he knew only as a middle-aged woman who knew nothing.

I could tell without asking how many times I had seen things I shouldn’t have seen, and how many things I should have gone through while living next to the Kim family in this republic.

Perhaps for all those long years, she lived with the feeling of walking on the edge of a knife.

Jeonghwan made a promise with a sincere smile to Kim Myung-ae, who was grieving at the sight of his only son, who he had been protecting, going into the pit of lust.

– Mother, don’t worry too much. I will make a promise to my mother. – Medication? What the hell is that….

– I have a goal I want to achieve as a leader. When the day comes when the people no longer need me by leading the republic well to that goal. I’ll give you a prescription.

– …..Really? But did that happen?

– of course. Mother, how could I lie to you? Maybe at that time, if the president’s comrade accepts me, then I can really become a professor at Kim University. So, until then, save your mother a true virgin. haha.

Anyway, while I was thinking like this, the funeral was concluded when the truck finally reached the destination, Kim Il-sung Square.

Kim Il-sung’s body will be buried in the tomb of the revolutionary martyrs of Daeseongsan, as he had always wished.

Considering that Kim Jong-il, who tried to strengthen his power base by deifying him in the original history, mummified him and sold his body, maybe it was fortunate for him that Jeong-hwan, not him, succeeded Kim Il-sung.

‘Fortunately, everything I accomplished in my life, my achievements in my life, the Juche idea, everything was a human being who was a lie from one to ten. Then I’ll start with a corpse arm.’

And after the funeral, today’s main event, the inauguration of General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan, began.

From a certain moment on Kim Il-sung Square, the sunken air of the funeral disappeared like an ebb and flow, and unknown excitement and heat drove away the cold January air and occupied the square.

It was the people’s curiosity and anticipation for the new leader, the new leader.

And finally, General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan and party officials, who will be inaugurated as Marshals of the former People’s Army, appeared on the podium overlooking Kim Il-sung Square.

“All the People’s Army … to the Marshal! Hold on, gun!”

Memories of Memories!!!

At the same time as Jeonghwan appeared, the People’s Army in uniforms filled with Kim Il-sung Square, which was said to be capable of accommodating as many as 100,000 people, raised their bayonets at once in line with the command to create a forest.

And at the same time, the Korean People’s Army, which was marching through the square at the same time, stopped goose-step like a robot moving in response to a signal, and turned its body in unison by 45 degrees while looking at the podium.

At the sight of living and dying in a gak, Jeonghwan could not help but admire the present time and place for a moment and purely admire it.

‘What can I say about this… You are heir to the throne, Father? No, should I say Abadi?’

Before the return, it was a scene that I had only seen on the evening news footage that reported that North Korea had launched a missile, but seeing it from this location now, I was truly moved by Jeong-hwan.

“I’m soo!

“I am serving my country!”

‘Nevertheless, I am a person who was discharged as a lieutenant as a school military officer, but this is really…. This experience is probably the first and last person I have ever tried in the history of Korea or the Korean Peninsula.’

He is probably the only person who has fulfilled the duty of defense of the Republic of Korea in his previous life to be inspected by the North Korean army (even with the rank of Marshal) in this Kim Il-sung Square.

But anyway, that was then and now is.

Jeonghwan, thinking that he could not be immersed in his emotions forever, as the road ahead was like nine hundred thousand miles, saluted the People’s Army face to face, approached the microphone, and gave strength to the boat. There was a piece of paper in his hand from the white Marshal of the People’s Army conquest, but it wasn’t a speech.

“Dear people of all countries and soldiers of the People’s Army! Here, I have another historic year and the year 1990 awaited with new and significant events. However, unlike last year, this New Year is not the joy of welcoming the new year, but the sorrow of the great stars of the republic that touched the hearts of the people.

I can’t help but feel a heavy responsibility as the general secretary.”

The first was a tribute to the deceased Kim Il-sung.

From the party and military officials lined up behind Jeong Hwan, the People’s Army soldiers filling the square, and the foreign correspondents who were busy covering the scene with their Nikon cameras, they were all paying close attention to every word he said. .

While praise for Kim Il-sung’s achievements during his lifetime (founding the republic, establishing the Juche ideology, stabilizing people’s lives, etc.) passed for a while, intelligence agencies in various countries, including South Korea, who were listening to this speech live through various channels Analyze what the words mean without opening your eyes

was doing

In the leader’s speech, even in his inauguration speech, a single phrase or choice of words contains clues about future policies and foreign policy, and the weight of each part makes it possible to predict where the leader will focus in the future. because it makes

And as if in return for their efforts, if there was one unusual thing, something extraordinary happened.

“…and there could be a war for liberation in South Korea. However, this republic, which has been on the rock thanks to the efforts of Comrade President, is now at the crossroads of a grave and grave crisis.”

“what? That friend… The War of Liberation in South Korea… So, did you just pass the Korean War? Hurry up and get on board!”

“what’s the matter? What? Does that mean that much?”

“Of course! Because that young king just ignored one of his father’s greatest achievements! I heard that the new North Korean leader was different from my father and older brother, but I didn’t expect such a radical change!”

The foreign correspondents who rushed to contact the European headquarters while chatting with each other were right.

Victory in the South Korean Liberation War, which they claim to be one of Kim Il-sung’s greatest achievements in North Korea, has been a regular theme in any speeches that mention Kim Il-sung so far.

Isn’t it one of President Kim Il-sung’s greatest achievements, along with partisan activities, to wage a war to ‘liberate’ the people of South Korea who are groaning under the South Korean leaders who have become puppets of the evil US imperialists?

However, in his inaugural address, Jeong Hwan only briefly mentioned the greatest victories and achievements achieved by the Republic and the President against the United States (not South Korea, but the United States, this is important), as if passing by.

It is not that I did not mention it completely, but the part that was expressed with modifiers such as ‘the valiant task’ or ‘recklessly stand up against the wicked grip of the US imperialists’ as a principle in the previous speeches almost always ‘get up in the morning and wash your face’. The story of describing it as plainly as ‘I did it’…

The reason for this sudden change was soon revealed by the unidentified white paper that Jeonghwan had been holding in his hand.

“……And, even until the last moment of his death, President Kim Jong-un never stopped worrying about the future of the republic and the people for a single moment. Comrades! Here I am, the President of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), who wrote in handwriting with his last strength, even though he was suffering from a ailment.

We would like to reveal a lesson on the future route of Hwaguk!”

“What is it, Yoohoon?”

“Does that mean that Comrade the President left a legacy?”

It was clear that this shocking fact was kept secret from most of the people, even many of the party officials, for dramatic effect.

Foreign correspondents whose hands were several times faster than before, as well as many of the military officers and executives in line, had begun to crack their faces full of energy.

Irrespective of the crowd’s atmosphere like this quiet explosion, Jeonghwan stood on the podium and opened the folded paper in a large motion so that everyone could see it and began to read the words written on it.

“I, Kim Il-sung, have been working hard on the self-reliance of the Korean people, the development and prosperity of the republic, and the reunification of the country for a long time as a lifelong task. And now, in the face of death, I am determined to pass on a red flag to my successors and expand and strengthen friendship and mutual understanding between countries around the world.

I want to write it down and convey it.” “…………”

“Therefore, in line with this line, all the people and Party workers should do their best to end the long-standing confrontation with the West and the United States of America, and to pursue stability in the situation on the Korean peninsula and in the region, and furthermore, promote the idea of world peace and security. I ask you to take care of the following general secretary.”

End the confrontation with the US!

Not many of the people gathered in the square realized what this word hidden in the lengthy sentence meant, but those who understood its true meaning were all shocked.

Finally, North Korea declared that it would open the door for reform and opening to the world.

“Therefore, I will follow the instructions of the President and lead all struggles at the forefront of the Republic, and no one will be able to reverse our determination, will, and vigorous march. Let’s all work together with one mind and one will for the prosperity and development of the Korean people, a true people’s country.

Let’s get to work.”

With that, the inaugural speech of the newly inaugurated Marshal of the People’s Army and General Secretary of the Party was over.

Before long, Kim Yong-nam, chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly, stood in front of the microphone and declared the new official position of Jeong-hwan.

Similar to previous leaders, ‘President’ Kim Il-Sung and ‘General’ Kim Jong-Il, Jeong Hwan was given another title in addition to the newly created position, General Secretary, which had previously held his public office.

Despite Jeonghwan’s displeasure that the title is more important than the actual value, it was a title created by Kim Young-nam’s advice, ‘Sometimes the formality beats the real thing’.

“Long live the General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Chairman of the Political Affairs Committee, Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, ‘Supreme Leader’, Comrade Kim Jeong-hwan!!”

“hurray!!!”

“Hurray!”

The shouts of the people, military officers, and the entire crowd filled Kim Il-sung Square.

Jeong-hwan was awarded the ‘Supreme Leader’s Order’, a new medal voluntarily established by the party, one rank higher than the Republic’s Hero of the Republic, which was previously the highest decoration.

Thus, on January 1, 1990, Kim Jung-hwan was officially elevated to the supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Meanwhile, an emergency meeting was being held in a basement of the Ministry of Security and Security of the Republic of Korea, hundreds of kilometers away from Kim Il-sung Square.

Although there were only a few attendees, each and every one of them was a person with a strong influence on the current security policy of the Republic of Korea.

“So, Director Park Se-hwang, you mean… North Koreans are going to reform and open up from now on? Is that right, now ?”
