Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Groups of students and citizens are secretly making connections in the dark, searching for comrades everywhere to oppose this constitution that disrupts the will of the nation.

The previous rotations of military leaders can only be considered appetizers.

This is the eve of a real volcanic eruption.

Author's note: Thank you all for your support. I wrote 7100 words in one go, just before the new climax. I'd like to ask for some monthly tickets to encourage more updates.

Chapter 690: Genetic Nationalism, Killing Li Xinghe (4000 words)

3 month 1 day.

The Constitution of the Seventh Republic of Korea came into effect.

On this day, Seoul was unusually quiet, with no more armed helicopters in the sky and artillery positions on Bukhansan Mountain being gradually withdrawn. Apart from the huge economic losses caused by the collapse of Yanghwa Bridge, it seemed that as long as the old World War II tanks burned and destroyed on the road were removed, the city could continue to function.

Regardless of what the future holds, South Korean civil servants returned to work happily today.

Moreover, upon their return, they can divide the power of the new political institutions.

The South Korean government has officially abolished the bronze plaques for the five provincial capitals of Hamgyongbuk-do, Hamgyongnam-do, Pyonganbuk-do, Pyongannam-do, and Hwanghae-do that were displayed in the Ministry of Unification, and the designation has been officially cancelled starting today.

This was originally intended as a northern administrative department to be established after the unification of Korea, essentially similar to the provincial governors set up by Chiang Kai-shek after his retreat to Taiwan, primarily serving a united front function. Since it was originally a nominal department, its abolition did not cause any problems.

But if unification is no longer needed, then what's the point of keeping the Unification Department? We can't just dismiss the people in charge, can we?

Therefore, the South Korean government released a new reform plan:

"From now on, the Ministry of Unification of South Korea will be renamed the Ministry of Global Unification of South Korea. The ministry will be dedicated to protecting the interests of Korean citizens and businesses around the world. Under the Ministry of Unification, the North Korean Naturalization Office and the China Naturalization Office will be established to handle special naturalization applications for North Korean immigrants from China."

In addition, Parliament will also undergo major reforms:

"The 100 seats originally reserved for the North in the South Korean National Assembly will be re-allocated with the implementation of the new constitution. It is said that these 100 seats will be allocated with consideration for population and geographical factors, and will be distributed to peripheral areas with fewer seats but large land areas..."

The extra 100 seats are what Kao Chang-jun will use to form a new party and attract new voters.

For many conservative bureaucracies, when change comes, they will fight tooth and nail to resist it.

But once the forces of change become overwhelming, and change becomes unavoidable, conservative bureaucrats will immediately and strictly enforce it. For example, when racial segregation clashed with the civil rights movement in the United States, Republican Nixon resolutely pushed for the implementation of the civil rights movement's achievements, even though he himself actually opposed the civil rights movement.

Just like right now.

Once the new constitution is implemented, South Korea's administrative bureaucracy will immediately begin to push forward with measures such as abolishing the Ministry of Unification, changing the seats of parliamentary members, including 1800 commonly used Chinese characters in textbooks, and promoting the installation of Chinese character nameplates in cities, departments, and companies.

On March 2, Ko Chang-joon, Lee Sung-ha, Moon Jae-in, Park Geun-hye, and others drove to Panmunjom on the border between North and South Korea.

Based on the Constitution of the Seventh Republic of Korea, North Korea and South Korea finally ceased their territorial claims against each other.

After relinquishing their shared goal of recovering lost territories, the biggest conflict between North and South Korea was resolved. The two sides agreed to hold a special meeting at Panmunjom on March 2 to negotiate peace, dismantle the 3th parallel, and jointly undertake a major military reduction.

It looks like everything is coming to an end.

However, the convoy had only just crossed the Han River Bridge when they saw a large number of South Koreans protesting loudly on the roadside.

Millions of citizens gathered at Guanghuamen and Dongdaemun Square, raising their candles to express their extreme dissatisfaction with the constitutional amendments forcibly pushed forward by Gao Changjun.

People raised flags:

"Where is the magnificent land of three thousand miles now? Eighty million people weep together in sorrow!"

It's well-written, but the only downside is that most Koreans still can't understand it. So even with the flag in place, the slogans are still a jumbled mess.

Similarly, the traditional slogan that always appears at every political rally in South Korea was still present in the march: "Without Hunan, there is no country!"

Gray, red, and blue became the main colors of the parade.

Under a gray sky, red flags stretched endlessly, while the predominantly blue American flag occasionally fluttered in the ranks, representing a strong ideological element. This is the consequence of decades of joint media propaganda between the United States and South Korea.

Li Xinghe sighed in the car:

"It's a real shame that Pyongan Province is commonly known as Gwanseo, Hamgyong Province as Gwanbuk, and Hwanghae Province as Haeseo, yet the Koreans don't seem to realize that they should at least put up a slogan like 'Without the two passes, there is no country,' right?"

“First of all, they should know that Ping An Road and Hamgyong Road are ‘two border crossings’.”

Nan Hao Nu said irritably from behind.

Li Xinghe didn't take it seriously, but the public protests were indeed growing larger and becoming more planned.

Upon arriving at Panmunjom, Ko Chang-jun, with a dark expression, led several former presidents to pay respects at the Peace Hall. Then, news came from the north side of Panmunjom that the road destroyed by North Korea had been repaired and that a North Korean special envoy team had entered Panmunjom.

Someone said in front:

"The North Korean envoy has arrived. He is said to be Choe Ryong-hae, Chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly of North Korea. According to rumors, the procession is very large, and there should be even higher-ranking members arriving as well."

Li Xinghe looked at Nan Haonu, who quickly shook her head.

Although he shook his head, he blinked to confirm.

That means the general must have led a large army south to Kaesong Special Region.

The city is ready to watch the show live.

"You want to see the show in person, right?"

Li Xinghe could already picture the comical scene of the general sitting on the top of a ravine, holding a telescope, and not even having time to eat the watermelon.

However, due to the political instability in South Korea, Ko Chang-jun could be in power today but fall tomorrow, so the general himself could not come out and could only send someone to meet with South Korea.

The meeting officially began around noon.

Both sides sent their respective representatives, Choe Ryong-hae, Chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly of North Korea, and Woo Won-sik, Speaker of the National Assembly of South Korea, to exchange a new plaque at Panmunjom.

One is the People's Republic of Korea, and the other is the Republic of Korea.

From now on, historical terms such as North Korea and South Korea, North Korea and South Korea, North Korea and South Korea, North Korea and South Korea, and traitorous groups will be swept into the dustbin of history, and both sides will use the text on these two plaques to refer to each other's countries.

Then came the much-anticipated initiatives such as the formal end of the Korean War, the dismantling of the 38th parallel, economic development, and opening up North Korea to South Korean investment.

Although little substantive progress was made, the glimmer of hope for a peaceful future has begun to emerge.

Therefore, this day was a day of great joy for both host and guests.

When leaving a souvenir, Moon Jae-in, who had been drinking alone the night before, personally wrote a calligraphy piece:

"Heaven above, loyal souls below. Through the ages, who is truly guilty?"

Faced with this problematic inscription, Moon Jae-in pondered for a long time. Then he erased the second half of the inscription and, with extremely fast, neat, and tedious strokes, rewrote "The blue sky is above, the loyal souls are below" once more.

When they returned to the waiting area, Lao Wen couldn't help but whisper a question to Li Xinghe:

"Do you feel ashamed before your country? Ashamed before Heaven and Earth? Ashamed before your clan?"

Because Moon Jae-in considers Lee Sung-ha to be Korean.

Unfortunately, despite widespread rumors among South Koreans that he is Korean, and even politicians like Moon Jae-in possessing secret reports confirming his identity, Lee Sung-ha is indeed not. The main issue is that the novel produced by the South Korean National Intelligence Service is incredibly convoluted. While it has absolutely no intelligence value, it's certainly entertaining as a ghost story.

Lee Sung-ha remained silent. When it was his turn to write an inscription, he copied Moon Jae-in's calligraphy:

"The people are above, and the heavens are below."

Compared to Moon Jae-in, Lee Sung-ha's version seems to emphasize that the people's fate and well-being far outweigh the abstract and unrealistic needs of loyal souls and upright officials.

After Lee Sung-ha changed those two words, he told Moon Jae-in: "Life is full of unexpected pain, but as long as we follow the trend of history, South Korea will rise one day. But if we stick to the old ways, South Korea will die without a burial place."

Lee Sung-ha didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was already conveyed to Moon Jae-in.

The earlier you invest, the sooner you enjoy the benefits; the later you invest, the less discount you get.

Moon Jae-in fell into deep thought, and his daughter, who had just been pardoned, asked her father:

"what did he say?"

He said he was an anti-American fighter.

Moon Jae-in's actions are difficult to understand and baffling.

But since his faction was completely destroyed anyway, Moon Jae-in fled Seoul overnight and returned to his hometown without looking back.

Old Wen no longer understands this world.

……

On the evening of March 2, just after the Panmunjom Declaration concluded, gunshots rang out across South Korea.

South Korean unification voters are emotionally distraught.

These voters are the same group of grassroots Christians who are closely aligned with the United States, sending hot air balloons into North Korea every day and stuffing them with excrement. They are not only wealthy but also extremely fanatical, with a radical religious belief. Their religious beliefs are highly intertwined with their ideology, based on the "three anti's" (anti-China, anti-communist, and anti-North Korea). The current Seventh Constitution directly targets their beliefs.

As is well known, South Korea is a country where Christianity is highly developed and cults are widespread. Therefore, the backlash came very quickly.

Those veterans who had left the army, facing unemployment, a stock market crash, suspicions of betrayal regarding the Seventh Republic's constitution, and reconciliation with China and North Korea, quickly accepted recruitment from various underground cults and anti-government organizations in South Korea. With the convenient support of guns circulating everywhere on the black market, they formed civilian armed groups to seize local governments.

Gao Changjun was certainly aware of the drawback that he only controlled Seoul and not the entire territory of South Korea, so he prepared to further allocate troops and send them to carry out riot control operations throughout South Korea.

The vanguard troops have already engaged in firefights with local militias in the suburbs.

This time it really is a case of new recruits fighting veterans, and machine guns shooting at civilians.

Li Xinghe returned to the Presidential Palace in Longshan and began military preparations.

Special Operations Division member Su Yumin stayed by his side, reporting to him:

"Air transport routes 1, 3, and 9 are already in place, awaiting your dispatch at Gimpo Airport, Seongnam City, and Guangzhou City, respectively."

The intelligence department then submitted military secrets:

"The commanders of the 2nd and 5th Armored Brigades expressed their dissatisfaction with Gao Changjun. Soldiers from the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division, the White Horse Division, and the Tumbler Mobile Division are all demanding money from the new government."

This is Gao Changjun's biggest problem: he has no money.

In fact, South Korean government officials don't know how long Ko Chang-joon can stay in office. Moreover, South Korea's 2029 budget is tied to the parliamentary elections. Since the parliamentary elections were lost, the South Korean government currently has no money in its accounts.

More than 600,000 radical voters stormed Seoul, and various Christian churches across South Korea with strong anti-North Korea, anti-China, and anti-communist sentiments were preparing for war. At such a tense moment, Ko Chang-joon ran out of money.

Gao Changjun was stunned by the Ministry of Finance's reply:

"Really, there's not a single penny left?"

He probably never imagined that his shrewd plan to kneel down, and even his preparation to run for the national presidential election, would end up failing because of a lack of funding.

"Either rob the tycoons or rob the civilians. Otherwise, the army will leave me."

How can one become the founder of a new republic without blood on one's hands?

"what to do……"

Enraged, Gao Changjun finally discovered the trap that Li Xinghe had set up long ago.

How will he dismantle this surging anti-China, anti-communist, and anti-North Korea right wing?

Suddenly, Gao Changjun had a flash of inspiration and realized why the far-right and the issue of defining Koreans by genes had emerged recently. These were things that could not be brought to the forefront and could only be allowed to ferment among the people. Now, they had become an important tool for Gao Changjun to tear apart the forces of the protest group.

Yes, only by emphasizing genetic testing can we tear apart these religiously superseded, anti-China, and anti-communist right-wing lunatics.

But if we do that, the Korean people will be divided again.

But the Ministry of Finance really couldn't come up with the money, so Gao Changjun could only go crazy with far-right YouTubers.

That's it.

After several hours of deliberation, Gao Changjun could only decide to use genetic nationalism to tear apart the anti-government group.

At the same time, he also angrily issued orders to his loyal subordinates:

"Contact the Ministry of National Defense and have the Air Force's F-35s secretly bomb the Presidential Palace in Yongsan. Just kill that little bastard!"

Unbeknownst to him, under the new constitution he championed, the Intelligence Command had been revived from the Counterintelligence Command. Therefore, his secret order to eliminate Lee Sung-ha was simultaneously monitored by the South Korean military's Intelligence Command and transmitted in real-time to Lee Sung-ha.

Li Xinghe smiled and pushed up his non-existent black-rimmed glasses:

"Modify the bombing coordinates given to the Air Force, and have the entire F-35 squadron of the Air Force fully loaded with iron bombs and bomb the US military base building at Longshan."

Su Yumin hurriedly tried to please him:

"Should I send my troops...?"

At least at this moment, the only units Li Xinghe could immediately mobilize were the Special Operations Command's Air Transport Units 1, 3, and 9.

"Do not

"I also have off-the-books tricks."

Li Xinghe made phone calls to the US-Japan joint fleet near Jeju Island, as well as his own G Brigade soldiers.

The final showdown will unfold swiftly in such a short time.
