Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

The seawater, at a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, was icy cold and assaulted the bodies of the unfortunate souls who had little resistance. The rapid loss of body temperature caused their brains to send out distress signals, causing the hundreds of people who had jumped into the sea to frantically run back to shore.

At this moment, the South Korean soldiers who had been watching the show had just run to the shore and were leisurely watching the hundreds of turtles bathing in the water.

They found a long iron pipe and, smiling, said to the people in the water:

"Old man, want to come up?"

"Yes! Pull me up! Save me, I'm dying!"

The old man who led the first group of people into the water was nearly unconscious from the cold water and lay on the shore, constantly calling for help.

"Then you should shout three times that liberals are bastards."

Immediately, the turtles bathing in the sea shouted, "Liberals are bastards!"

Some people also criticized Kang Ki-jung: "You bastard, you led the citizens of Gwangju to resist, why didn't you jump?"

"I won't jump!"

Mayor Jiang Qizheng would rather kneel on the ground than jump in and die.

The large-scale imitation art show along the entire shore thus entered its most absurd phase. The people who shouted that they wanted to imitate the suicide by jumping into the sea at Yai Shan, after being soaked in the water for a while, suddenly regained their senses and began to cry for help from the soldiers.

Major General Zhang Zhihuan received a phone call from Li Xinghe:

"What? I heard the Gwangju Citizens' Struggle Association staged a cliff jumping performance on the beach in Mokpo?"

Major General Zhang immediately expressed his pride:

"It's alright, haha. The water was too cold, so they climbed out on their own. None of them died."

Li Xinghe on the other end of the phone rubbed his forehead, truly unsure how to evaluate this group of performing artists, and could only say in general terms:

"Um... find them a hospital. Remember to release the video evidence to the public. Let people see the true colors of the liberals."

……

In the southernmost part of North Korea, a group of Democratic Party performance artists jumped into the sea at Yaesan.

But the area near Seoul, specifically Gyeonggi Province, is actually even more dangerous.

They're really searching high and low, hunting down pro-democracy activists everywhere.

"climb mountains!"

In Hanam City, east of Seoul, in Ms. Choo Mi-ae's constituency, the soldiers of the three mechanized brigades of the Capital Mechanized Division climbed up Mount Gwandan with headaches, chasing after the scattered liberals among the mountain peaks.

One by one, the unfortunate souls were dug out of the tree hollows, kicked into prison vans, and locked up. In any case, no one actually jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.

"diving!"

In Gyeongancheon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, soldiers from the 2nd Noto Division, South Korea's only rapid reaction division, and its two rapid reaction brigades, the Golden Vulture Brigade and the Dragon Tiger Brigade, jumped into the cold seawater and swam across to block the liberal convoy's escape route into Gangwon Province.

Not far away, the 32nd White Tiger Division, stationed in Wonju, known as the coldest city in South Korea, was wielding batons and arresting liberals in the streets, searching for those bastard politicians who had caused them so much suffering.

"Drill a hole!"

The most difficult place to hold them back was Gwangmyeong City, less than 20 miles south of Seoul, in the Gwangmyeong Cave, west of the Kia shipyard. The counter-espionage command was leading a large group of soldiers inside the cave, where they were going through tunnels with the democrats.

This so-called Gwangmyeong Cave was actually a mine where Japanese soldiers dug caves all over Gwangmyeong Mountain during the Japanese occupation, enslaving Koreans to mine gold, silver, and copper. It was later transformed into a tourist attraction.

Inside this 7.5-kilometer-long cave, Chen Shengzhun and Jin Minxi were forced to circle around the soldiers like they were filming a variety show, before being caught one by one. The hot-tempered soldiers then used iron rods to shove them into their buttocks, hammering the rods into their rectums like hammers striking chisels, letting them feel the rage of the soldiers who had been toying with them for so long.

Chen Shengzhun had a stick stuck in his buttocks, and his voice became shrill:

"You...you want to bury us in the cave, right?"

However, the general leading the team, Major General Su Yumin, shook her finger:

"If we just throw you into prison, wouldn't that make you no different from Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan?"

This made them even more frightened, and Kim Minseok screamed as he asked:

"Then...you can't just execute them..."

Major Su Yumin continued to wag her finger:

"Leaf by leaf, isn't that no different from Japanese fascism and Syngman Rhee?"

In short, we are a humanitarian government.

Therefore, Su Yumin, on behalf of Li Xinghe, announced to this group:

"Since you insist on completing national reunification with North Korea and want South Korea as the main body, and repeatedly provoke and create border conflicts despite the collective opposition of both governments, then we have a good solution prepared specifically for you."

"Kaka has decided that since you are determined to dedicate yourselves to the great cause of unifying Korea, it is not convenient for Kaka to stop you. Therefore, Kaka has decided to send you to Korea to carry out labor construction projects. You will be sent to Korea to promote democracy, tell the North Koreans how wonderful the free world in Europe and America is, and most importantly, to establish churches in the area that are not controlled by the North Korean government and organize parishes that belong to you. This is the plan, take it with you."

The mountain of documents that was dumped on everyone's faces turned green with embarrassment.

Should we send them to North Korea?

After traversing a long minefield, they still had to carry documents to proclaim the beauty of the free world in Europe and America, and establish free parishes.

How is this different from suicide?

Will the North Koreans let them go?

Even if we don't kill them, we should send them to the mines and farms to be enslaved.

"what?"

"No!"

A group of liberal leaders, with sticks tucked between their buttocks, emitted a series of desperate screams from inside the cave, the sound carrying far and wide.

Chapter 915: Senior Citizens' University Study and Revolution (4700 words)

"I don't want to go to North Korea! I won't go!"

"We are all pillars of the nation, how can you humiliate us like this?"

A group of democrats screamed in agony inside the Cave of Light.

As the soldiers led them out, they either squatted, knelt, or lay on the ground wailing. With a stick tucked between their buttocks, they looked quite comical.

The ugliness of the pro-democracy camp is on full display at this moment. They are not even willing to go to North Korea to endure the hardship of digging potatoes, yet they want to achieve the unification of North and South Korea? They always fantasize about relying on the United States to defeat North Korea, or they fantasize about North Korea disintegrating itself and want to defeat Kim Jong-un and the Workers' Party, and enter Pyongyang as the victors of the free world?

The soldiers pushed and kicked:

"go!"

In fact, that was exactly what Li Xinghe thought.

The liberals who were causing trouble in South Korea were sent to North Korea to undergo labor reform, so that they could deeply experience the joy of mining, planting potatoes, and building houses, and return to the people.

As for what to do if they are mistreated after they go there, Li Xinghe doesn't care.

Just like liberals never considered what would happen if they blindly followed the US down this path.

When a large group of people were dragged out of the cave, onlookers had already formed a line.

Veteran politicians like Kim Min-seok and Jin Seung-joon, looking at the people they considered 'apathetic,' must have felt deeply pained.

"That's it?"

Yes, the massive anti-Li campaign is almost over.

Two of the three leaders were captured, while the third, Kim Byung-ki, reportedly drowned in the river.

The unrest in Gwangju lasted only a day before it ended, leaving behind only beer bottles and condoms scattered everywhere. None of the people who jumped into the sea died; they all ended up in the medical room of Mokpo Maritime University.

The journey between Daejeon and Sejong City took only 4 hours.

Busan, Ulsan, and Pohang didn't even have time to start protesting before they were mobilized and defeated by local residents.

This seems to be telling these liberals that the public, just like 50 years ago, is starting to seek change.

……

In Seoul, a meeting on economic stabilization following the rebellion has been held.

Zhao Juhuan has flown to Beijing to meet with relevant parties to discuss the security environment. Hong Zhuangyuan has gone to North Korea to discuss regional peace and strategic mutual trust with the general.

On the military front, Zhang Zhao Taiyong from the Intelligence Institute presented their work results:

"The National Intelligence Service and Counterintelligence Command have identified 6 people who can be arrested at any time..."

The National Intelligence Service is Li Xinghe's home unit, and it is said to employ tens of thousands of spies. However, it is well known that the intelligence from this place is always inaccurate, and they are even more shameful in their actions.

Li Xinghe picked up the list and glanced at it, almost throwing it into the trash.

His criticism of Zhao Taiyong was one of dissatisfaction:

"They're all idiots. What's the point of arresting grassroots civil servants? The right thing to do is to arrest those party leaders like Lee Jae-myung and Cho Kuk... After that, unify the powers of the National Intelligence Service and the Counterintelligence Command and hand them over to me."

Targeting lower-level civil servants is ineffective. Because South Korea's system, also imported from the US, separates administrative and political officials, meaning that once local leaders announce unrest, the administrative officials have very little power to stop it. The main perpetrators in this incident are local ruling leaders under the Democratic Party; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Jeolla Province's political families collectively oppose Lee Sung-ha.

Therefore, the real targets for purging now are the political families who have consistently won local elections. The Democratic Party's Democratic Alliance, by simply issuing a call to arms, is trying to incite them to rebel—that won't do.

"Cao Guo... has already gone to China with his daughter."

"It's not just Cao Guo; as soon as the situation turned against them, a large number of Democratic Party politicians fled to China."

Zhao Taiyong tried very hard to defend the mediocre performance of the intelligence agency.

This is a tradition of refuge formed under South Korea's tradition of extreme purges of former leaders. Many South Korean politicians, while verbally opposing China, have children who are likely to live in China. In the event of trouble, it's often the parents who go to jail, while the children remain safe.

In this situation, the whole family might as well run away together.

Looking at these mediocre bureaucrats, Li Xinghe once again lowered his expectations of them.

He tapped the table and said:

"Forget it, we should release new economic policies immediately. Everything comes down to the economy."

Kim Jae-ik, Chun Doo-hwan's economic shrewdness, was a left-wing anti-military economic bureaucrat who supported Chun Doo-hwan's coup because he believed that given South Korea's weak economy and repeated economic crises at the time, dictators would inevitably rise to power repeatedly, as the public was deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. Therefore, he wanted to leverage the efficiency and iron-fisted methods of a dictatorship to quickly steer the South Korean economy back on track and build an economic foundation that could support a stable, democratically elected government.

Chun Doo-hwan, a corrupt official who embezzled, extorted money from chaebols, murdered political opponents, staged a coup, arrested his superiors, and allowed his relatives to extort money from businesses—a scoundrel whose faults far outweighed his merits—was considered a second Park Chung-hee simply because he created a miraculous period of comprehensive economic growth during his term. However, this is far from the truth. Chun Doo-hwan nearly bankrupted major corporations during his tenure, but the improved economy saved him.

The Vice-Minister of Planning and Economy suggested:

"Should we consider slowing down a bit...? It might cause resentment among the public..."

Li Xinghe waved his hand directly:

"Don't think about those things. I'm standing here because the Korean people have chosen me. I'm going to make a strong decision for them."

amount……

This is probably one of the most shameless things South Koreans have heard this year, with implications comparable to Chun Doo-hwan's "I am the democratically elected president."

However, as everyone knows, Li Xinghe possesses all the characteristics of an insect.

Li Xinghe issued the following instructions to all ministers and vice ministers:

"The people demand a better future. They demand lower housing prices, lower commodity prices, a stable economy, job creation, and debt reduction. The government must take concrete and reliable measures to forcefully push these tasks forward. I am not Moon Jae-in, unable to control the chaebol groups. I am not Park Geun-hye, with a bunch of incompetent officials interfering in politics. Submit a reform outline as quickly as possible. Remember, I will not only send the opposition to North Korea, I will also kill people."

The subordinates nodded obsequiously and had no choice but to go back and rack their brains, trying to figure out how to write an economic outline.

Unlike 50 years ago, South Korea today does not have a strong state-mandated economy; instead, it relies heavily on experience.

After the working meeting, Vice Minister of National Defense Lee Doo-hee quietly stayed behind and spoke to Lee Sung-ha:

"I suggest that you visit the family of the former president to stabilize morale within the military."

See?

Li Xinghe rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

Park Geun-hye?

Forget it, this woman has a mountain of problems, she's a complete mess. Li Xinghe would have to be crazy to even see her.

Chun Doo-hwan...

This old man, whose reputation is mixed and whose abilities and personal desires are excessively inflated, is basically defined as a beacon of right-wing ideology in this day and age, and Li Xinghe certainly wouldn't touch him.

Although Chun Doo-hwan is dead, his wife Lee Soon-ja is still alive. She is 92 years old.

Like Park Chung-hee, Lee Soon-ja's family were corrupt Manchukuo officers and traitors. Born in Changchun, she grew up in Northeast China. After the fall of Manchukuo, her family hurriedly fled back to North Korea. Her father, Lee Kyu-dong, had strong connections and managed to get into the South Korean Army Academy as an instructor, eventually joining the South Korean army and settling in Jinhae.

Among the South Korean military leaders, few did not live or work in Northeast China, or were not born in Northeast China. Almost all of them relied on the Japanese occupation army and the puppet Manchukuo system. So, if you trace their dark history back, they were either born in the puppet Manchukuo system, were puppet Manchukuo officers, or were members of the Japanese occupation army. Only a very small number came from the Kuomintang Restoration Army, so they can be considered to have a semi-pure red lineage.

However, Mrs. Lee clearly did not have the same level of public support as Park Chung-hee's wife, Yuk Young-soo. Although she was good at managing household affairs, she was also ridiculed as the "Yeonhee-dong Red Underpants" because of her involvement in real estate speculation.
