Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"We? Stay here?"

"Of course. What else? Yin Xiyue isn't coming back anyway."

Li Xinghe was just joking when Tulsi and his American team began aggressively vying for good spots. Ayman, along with two maids, forcibly occupied Yin Xiyue's bedroom and urged the Korean staff to quickly change the bedding and room decorations.

And so, Lee Sung-ha moved into the former South Korean president's bedroom, into a real presidential suite.

This is not even the most luxurious enjoyment.

Soon after, vans appeared from all over Seoul, bringing in a large group of female celebrities from the entertainment industry.

How many exactly?

More than 700 people.

The small hall of the presidential palace was filled with beautiful women, each carrying a suitcase and a makeup bag, queuing up with their heads down in tacit agreement.

In short, the four major entertainment companies, along with internet giants like Kakao and Naver, crammed all the beautiful female celebrities they could mobilize in Seoul—regardless of whether they had boyfriends or husbands, or what kind of persona they were cultivating—onto bribes to Lee Sung-ha, the Jade-Faced Fox.

if not?

The lives of so many entertainment company and internet company executives are precious too.

They received notification from the US embassy earlier than ordinary politicians, instructing them to cooperate with the US military's operations. As a result, several major internet companies have not yet cooperated with the two military departments to provide them with satellite and communication information, making the main battlefield resemble the Vietnam War.

While on the phone with these people, reassuring them, Li Xinghe even joked:

"Why are you sending me so many people? Even if I only send two a day, it would still take me a year of hard work."

Kakao CEO Kim Bum-soo gave Lee Sung-ha an unexpected answer:

"Now is a dangerous time. Even if you don't care about their looks, having them take bullets for you or sending them to comfort the soldiers (as military prostitutes) is still a kind of value."

"I see."

Li Xinghe was deeply shocked. It was truly shameless of the old South Korean chaebols. That phrase, "to comfort the soldiers," instantly brought back memories of Kuomintang soldiers and military brothels. The Republic of Korea's army, indeed, was just another Kuomintang army.

He couldn't say he pitied these people, because in the tycoon circle, even the value of a disposable human sex toy wasn't enough to warrant the pity of a powerful figure. If Li Xinghe spoke of pity, it would only make him seem insincere—you pity even the sex toys supplied to you?

It's like in India, where it's considered proper to boss around servants, and even servants look down on masters who say thank you to their servants.

Meanwhile, Park Jung-hwan's path to a coup began.

The 8th Invincible Division and the 25th Ever Victorious Flying Dragon Division, which were transferred from Yangju City, along with the 5th Mech Brigade, have arrived at Bukhansanseong.

Thanks to Park Jin-hee leading the Bukhansan Division in a desperate defense, the Gangbuk area of ​​Seoul was preserved for Park Jung-hwan.

Therefore, Park Jung-hwan greatly admired Park Jin-hee and praised him:

"How magnificent, Park Jin-hee is a true man of Hansan! After this rebellion is quelled, I will make you the commander of the capital's defense."

The new National Assembly, organized by Lee Jae-myung, Kwon Young-se, and others, also appeared alongside Park Jung-hwan. They collectively praised Park Jung-hwan for his patriotism, his organization of an army to fight the rebellion, and his suitability to be the head of state.

A few words of praise from the media and lawmakers made Park Jung-hwan feel intoxicated.

As a fellow Gyeongsang Province native of Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan, Park Chung-hwan imitated the loyal minister Jang Tae-wan in front of a YouTube video:

"Liang Longmo! Don't move in Seoul! Watch me send 30 mech brigades to smash you into the sky!"

Of course, being an old fox, Park Jung-hwan did not mention the large troops that had arrived in Gangbuk at this time. Instead, he mentioned the 30th Armored Brigade in Yongin City, south of Seoul, which was the 30th Division led by Chun Doo-hwan during the Seopysop coup.

So after the video was uploaded to YouTube and garnered 3000 million views, Liang Longmo simultaneously arranged for troops to deploy defenses in the south of the city and released a video in response:

"I'm in Yeouido! A true Korean man should be ready to die for his country with unwavering resolve, not hide in some corner making fake videos. Korean people, support me! I will serve as acting president and protect the Republic of Korea!"

The response video garnered 4000 million views.

Like the new generation of internet celebrities, the two sides launched a crazy video war around social media platforms.

Then, Liang Longmo hurriedly ascended the throne.

He announced at the National Assembly Hall in Yeouido: "I will serve as the acting president to ensure national security. All departments across the country must obey orders issued by Yeouido."

The newly formed small government has begun operating.

Upon learning that Yang Yong-mo had urgently established a new government, Park Jung-hwan and Lee Jae-myung could not wait any longer and hastily took an oath at the Yongsan Presidential Palace in Gangbuk to continue the legal system of the Republic of Korea. Park Jung-hwan, who brought a large number of army troops and had the most powerful fist, was appointed as the acting president.

Park Jung-hwan quickly announced, "The biggest political goal of the new government is to eliminate the traitorous party."

In order to win over Lee Sung-ha, he did not hesitate to betray Park Jin-hee, who was holding Bukhansan, and handed over the command of the capital's defense to Jo Gu-hwan.

In the presidential palace in Yongsan, Gangbuk, were acting president Park Jung-hwan, chief of staff Ko Chang-joon, and capital defense commander Cho Gu-hwan. The National Assembly had moved to the Blue House, where Lee Jae-myung, Kwon Young-se, and others served as National Assembly leaders.

At the presidential palace on Yeouido in Gangnam, the interim president Yang Yong-mo, chief of staff Hwang Sun-woo, and capital defense commander Su Woo-min were present. The National Assembly was still on Yeouido, organized by Kim Boo-kyum, Na Kyung-won, and others, with Hwangbo Seung-hee serving as the government spokesperson.

In a single day, two South Korean governments were established.

That's not enough.

What baffled the South Koreans even more was that they clearly saw Lee Sung-ha's name on the lists of both governments, and in the same position: the Intelligence Command.

Isn't that the Security Command Headquarters during Chun Doo-hwan's era?

How did this guy, who should have been drifting on the Yellow Sea, get involved?

Netizens are furious:

"Li Xinghe? Li Xinghe, the commander of the Intelligence Command? Which side is he on?"

"Be content, at least he didn't ask to be the prime minister of South Korea."

The citizens of Seoul are quite resigned to the fact that the city has been bombed, with more than 500 civilians killed in a single day, causing fear and panic among the people. All they want is for peace and safety.

However, while all South Koreans were completely bewildered, a new problem arose at the presidential palace in Yeouido.

Because the main force behind this coup was the Marine Corps, not the Navy itself.

Liang Longmo was able to establish himself in the Jiangnan region thanks to the victory of the Marun Assault Battalion.

However, when Quan Zhenjiu, the Marine Corps Commander who had traveled from Pyeongtaek to the vicinity of Seoul, discovered that despite his best efforts, Liang Longmo had not even given him the position of Chief of the General Staff. Instead, he appointed Senior Colonel Li Donghu, whom he had sent out, as the Army Commander, and it was not even him!

He was immediately enraged.

I risked my life to help you take over the Gangnam area of ​​Seoul, and this is how you treat me?

Therefore, when Jeon Jin-gu led the 9th Black Dragon Brigade through the defense zone of the 9th White Horse Division of the Army, repelled the obstruction of the Air Force, and arrived at Yeouido, it was nighttime in Hankou, where there were no streetlights.

On the main street of the city, Quan Zhenjiu personally drove an A7 amphibious assault vehicle to meet Liang Longmo.

Liang Longmo seemed quite happy and at ease as he came to see him.

“Zhen Jiu, come and help me. If we beat the rebels, we’ll drink together.”

However, Quan Zhenjiu's chariot did not slow down.

Chief of Naval Staff?

All I want now is to be the acting president.

Because the distance between Jeon Jin-gu and Liang Yong-mo was only a dozen meters. Just like the fateful dozen meters that the 73rd Destroyer Mobile Squadron was between the National Assembly in Yeouido the day before yesterday.

Within arm's reach, everyone is an enemy.

If Liang Longmo can win like this, why should I, Quan Zhenjiu, suffer and get nothing in return? I will win too.

So, Quan Zhenjiu floored the accelerator.

With a simple sound of bones breaking, Liang Longmo was rammed into by Quan Zhenjiu's amphibious infantry fighting vehicle after inexplicably offending his most trusted subordinate.

Collapsed to the ground, Liang Longmo shouted blankly:

"Jeon Jin-gu, I have treated you well..."

Quan Zhenjiu cursed loudly, then ran over it.

"Not bad? Then why isn't I the Chief of the General Staff? It's your Naval Operations Commander! And the Capital Defense Commander isn't me either, it's Su Yumin, the Capital Special Operations Commander? Go to hell!"

Before his death, Liang Longmo felt some regret.

How could I have forgotten him?

Then he was crushed into a meat patty by the amphibious vehicle.

Former Navy Commander Liang Longmo stepped down.

Commander Jun Jin-gu, now known as Commander Marun, makes his appearance.

Jeon Jin-gu has taken control of Yeouido and released a new video:

“I have dealt with Yang Yongmo’s betrayal. The Republic of Korea is at peace. Now it is my turn, Jeon Jin-gu, to serve as the acting president of South Korea. Park Jung-hwan, please return to your post.”

"What?"

The South Korean people have reached their breaking point.

How can there be a series of coups? Has anyone ever seen a Marine Corps commander run over and kill the usurping president with his car, then declare himself president?

More importantly, who is Liang Longmo? Who is Park Jung-hwan? And who is Jeon Jin-gu?

Who are you all?

Ordinary South Koreans passing by are more familiar with 'national idol Lee Sung-ha,' since they're all criticizing him.

……

Park Jung-hwan was even more opposed to Jeon Jin-gu's rise to power:

"Peace? Peace my ass!"

In the new world of the 21st century, the coup attempt in South Korea was taken over by Yoon Seok-yeol. The first acting president to successfully stage a coup was usurped by Yang Yong-mo.

Just when Park Jung-hwan thought he could at least get a second chance, he was furious to discover that Commander Jun Jin-gu had attacked earlier than him and had even run over and killed Navy Commander Yang Yong-mo.

If even the current president has to rank third, how can such a reputation be established?

While the two armies were fiercely fighting around Seoul, both parliaments were busy with their own affairs.

The National Assembly in Yeouido and the National Assembly in Cheong Wa Dae simultaneously announced a new decision:

"In order to preserve our country and protect the purity of our people and culture, we have decided to change the spelling of Seoul in Chinese characters to Hanseong and to restore the use of Chinese character signs on road signs, government organizations, and military and police stations throughout the country."

This has caused an uproar among the South Korean public.

"What? Seoul has been renamed Hanseong?"

"So they've all gone to seek refuge with the Chinese, huh?!"

Seoul is the original name in pinyin. If you set the spelling in Chinese characters as Hanseong and put it on a sign, wouldn't that be the same as kicking out the name Seoul and replacing it with Hanseong?!

What's the difference between this so-called definition spelling and renaming?

In South Korea at that time, identity labels were already very clear.

Those old-fashioned people who use Chinese characters, act in an old-fashioned way, and believe in Buddhism are the traditional right wing of South Korea. They belong to a group that is pro-American and anti-China, but can also be pro-China and anti-American, similar to a pro-China group.

However, the younger generation who are Christians and care more about Europe and America than about South Korea constitute the left wing of South Korea, and they would absolutely choose English over Chinese characters. If they knew that the new government wanted to constitutionally reject the unification of Korea, accept division, and even restore Chinese characters, they would definitely go crazy.

Of course, there are also right-wing lunatics who believe in cults, support Yoon Seok-yeol, and watch YouTube videos every day to witness the bloggers. These people are just like the left-wing groups; they go crazy when they hear about China and explode at the mere mention of Chinese characters.

Therefore, Li Xinghe believes that since they all react with agitation to the mention of China, they should listen more often and eventually get used to it.

Therefore, in the afternoon, under Lee Sung-ha's behind-the-scenes coordination, the Blue House National Assembly announced: "Promote the use of commonly used Chinese characters, and the 1800 commonly used Chinese characters should be returned to the application of native vocabulary as soon as possible. Restore the tradition of writing Chinese proverbs together."

South Korean netizens were full of criticism, but it was to no avail.

Everyone knows that Congress is selling out the country, and the president is selling out the country, but can we not do it?

We have to sell it.

After all, during this short window of opportunity, Li Xinghe was the one in charge behind the scenes.

It was early morning of that day.

The Capital Mechanized Division, stationed far away in Gapyeong County, risked returning to Seoul under the temporary command of Park Jung-hwan to participate in the general offensive against the South.

The Capital Mechanized Division, the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 5th Armored Brigade, and the 30th Armored Brigade—four armored units—launched a general offensive against Seoul from the north and south respectively.

The 8th Tumbler Mobile Division and the 25th Ever Victorious Flying Dragon Division launched an attack on Seoul from the Incheon direction.

The real Seoul tank track was set up.

In the early hours of the morning, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. Tanks zipped through the streets of Seoul, their cold, menacing cannons and external armor causing onlookers to cower under their beds.

A deafening roar; it's unclear who fired the first shot.

Then came a continuous barrage of firepower, with cannons bombarding the green belts of the wealthy Jiangnan district, sending the rich into a panic.

This is the Union army's attack.
