chapter 141
“what? Placing skeletons in India?”
When tourists were banned from entering Korea, Han Ji-hyeok came out with an India card this time.
Originally, India has enough Awakening power, and although the relationship is rough, it is not as fatal to China as Taiwan because it is a foreign country after all, but the problem is that Han Ji-hyeok came out with an irregular card.
That is the skeleton squading system that was jointly researched with the Korean military.
It was a system that could drastically reduce the number of soldiers with one soldier commanding several squad skeletons and move, and it was a system that received a lot of attention because there was no risk of death.
Exporting a skeleton system for combat, not for replacing Awakeners, to India, which has fought wars over borders in the past and where conflicts still occur from time to time, was tantamount to Han Ji-hyeok’s military provocation against China.
“This crazy bastard… … .”
Of course, it’s just a rumor so far, but if this becomes a reality, it will act as a huge burden on the Chinese military guarding the border, and at the same time, the political position of Baekyang, which has caused problems in all directions due to only one North Korean issue, will be narrowed even more.
Baekyang bit his lip and said.
“Do you use other hardline measures to nullify the deployment plan in India, or do you negotiate while it is currently in the rumor stage and make it a thing that never happened… … . ha.”
In the end, in order for the conflict to be resolved, it is possible for either side to reach out first.
However, reaching out first is practically the same as admitting defeat, so each other has only used hardline measures.
Baek Yang’s position was so precarious that she couldn’t even respond properly to her rival Junkerin’s open criticism at the recent Politburo meeting.
“Should I finish it properly now?”
At that time, I was thinking about future measures.
“huh?”
Baekyang suddenly felt a slight chill down his spine and looked around.
But, of course, Baekyang was the only one in the room.
“Has my body become weak from stress?”
That time when I dismissed it as not a big deal and thought about it again.
“… By the way, you bastard Junkerin, are you interfering with everything I do?”
Suddenly, anger towards the rival Junkerin, who interferes with everything, rises.
“We should all put our heads together and come up with a countermeasure and think about pushing Han Ji-hyeok down. Is it the job of a member of the Standing Committee to continue to bite and hang around over a petty case?”
Just as the saying goes, “I hate my sister-in-law who stops me more than my mother-in-law who beats me,” I am more angry at Junkerin who tackles my actions from within than Han Ji-hyeok who confronts me head-on.
“If he had meekly cooperated in the first place, would the situation have reached this point?”
And that anger goes beyond simple resentment and leads to the idea that the situation he is in is due to Junckerin’s interference.
“Even if he hadn’t interfered. No, the situation wouldn’t have reached this point if I had stayed still.”
Anger at Junkerin, who did not respond together and instead fired at himself from the inside.
Baekyang opened her eyes and said.
“You should be having a toast by now, right? You said I’m going to hell soon?”
The term of office for the members of the Standing Committee is five years, and the method of election is from the bottom up.
The Central Committee is formed by voting by party members, and 25 members of the Politburo are elected by voting in the Central Committee.
Then, from among these 25 members of the Politburo, another 7 members of the Standing Committee are selected.
The problem was that Baekyang’s re-election as a standing member was uncertain because of a series of recent events, although the standing member’s term would soon end and a new standing member would be elected.
That’s why Baekyang went out to the strong attack.
If you show a losing appearance, your seat will be more precarious than it is now.
“First of all, we have to stop the mouth of the Junckerin guy.”
Han Ji-hyeok is also Han Ji-hyuk, but shouldn’t the enemy inside be dealt with first?
Having made up her mind, Baekyang took out her cell phone and called someone.
– Hut! Commissioner Baek! For some reason… … ?
“Seize and search the Beijing Development Corporation.”
-yes?!
“Because there is information I heard about corruption. Move right away.”
* * *
“hahahaha.”
Junkerin said with a smile.
“Baekyang’s face is worth seeing.”
The Junkerlin, a moderate party in North Korea policy.
But that wasn’t because Junkerin was kind, but rather the opposition for the sake of opposition was much stronger.
When Baekyang, their rival, comes out with a hardline policy, Junkerin chooses a moderate policy to counter it.
But that choice turned out to be a godsend.
Because Baek Yang touched the quagmire of Han Ji-hyeok, he was in a situation where he could neither step back nor move forward.
Of course, Junkerin took advantage of that opportunity and started biting the white sheep.
Junkerin looked at his aide and said.
“I join hands with Han Ji-hyeok and drive Baek Yang into a corner. It was a good way.”
And Jungkerin was also the one who contacted Han Ji-hyeok when he was negotiating.
“I just gave my opinion, and you made the choice.”
“hahahaha. In any case, it’s just an idea in your head, isn’t it? wait a bit I will do my best in the upcoming Politburo member selection. Should you come upstairs now?”
Although he is not at the level of seven members of the Standing Committee, his aides said with an expression of embarrassment that he would promote the position of the 25-member Politburo member, one of the most powerful.
“thank you! thank you.”
“Please continue to work hard. good anyway.”
Junkerin said with a grin.
“When Baekyang’s position is completely destroyed by Han Ji-hyeok’s threat, I step forward and negotiate with Han Ji-hyeok to clear up the situation. It’s a perfect plan.”
Baek Yang does the work, and Junkerin gets the fruit.
“What is Baekyang doing?”
“There is no specific action yet. He’s probably struggling with thinking about what to do next.”
“Uh ha ha. Keep thinking about it, even if it means nothing.”
Baekyang had no chance of winning as long as Jungkerin continued to provide insider information to Han Ji-hyeok.
Besides, Han Ji-hyeok doesn’t even know that the target holding his hand is Junkerin, so he can quietly hide behind the scenes and manipulate it.
“Han Ji-hyeok is very useful, so be sure to coax him into doing this.”
“All right.”
“good. In the upcoming meeting, pressuring Baekyang to induce him to make a bigger mistake… … .”
But then.
Someone called Junckerin.
“huh? The Beijing Corporation President?”
Junkerin thoughtlessly pressed the call button on the phone of one of his aides, the president of Beijing Corporation.
“What happened… … .”
However, the president of the Beijing Corporation spoke in an urgent voice.
– Commissioner! It’s a big deal!
“A big deal?”
-The Disciplinary Inspection Committee is currently conducting a search and seizure of the company!
“what?”
Junkerin jumped up from his seat and said.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden!?”
The Beijing Development Corporation is a public corporation that handles various construction-related matters in Beijing, and since it deals with real estate, it has been a key company that has served as a source of funds since Yunkelin served as Beijing secretary.
That’s why even after becoming a member of the Standing Committee, he was managing his aide as the president of the corporation, and such a company was seized and searched.
If the fact of intervening in various interests were disclosed here, it would have been a fatal blow to Junckerin.
“Change the person in charge immediately!”
Then the person in charge answered the phone.
-yes. I got a call.
“I am a member of the Junckerin Standing Committee.”
-omg! Commissioner!
“Why is the Beijing Development Corporation being searched and seized all of a sudden? Even if it’s not, the real estate market has been sluggish these days, so don’t you know that the situation becomes more serious if there is a problem with the development work here?”
-I know, but… … .
“Stop it right now! If you get any corruption information, pass it on to me. I’ll fix it right away.”
Junkerin, who tried to use his power to end the search and seizure.
Normally, it would have worked, of course.
If you are a member of the Standing Committee, the minimum is the most powerful person in the 7th place in the Communist Party hierarchy, and there is no one who can resist the power of such a powerful person.
but.
-that… Well, since the person who accused this corruption was Baek Yang, a member of the Standing Committee, I can’t help it.
“what?! white poplar?”
-yes. I’m stuck in the middle, what should I do… … .
If the opponent is also the same member of the Standing Committee, the story will be different.
After being silent for a moment, Junckerin spoke.
“Wait for now. I’ll talk to the white sheep.”
-Okay, Commissioner.
After the call ended, Junkerin said.
“Why are you suddenly touching the Beijing construction? Did you notice that I joined hands with Han Ji-hyeok?”
But soon, Junkerin shook his head and said.
“no. There’s no way Baekyang would know that I didn’t tell Han Ji-hyeok.”
After thinking about it for a while, Junkerin eventually called Baekyang.
There is no way the current situation can be resolved by worrying about it for a hundred days.
-oh! Our Commissioner Jung.
“Commissioner Baekyang, what are we going to do now?
-why. Do you feel a bit intimidated by the search and seizure?
Even though they were rivals, Baekyang and Junkerin at least respected each other.
But today’s Baekyang was something different.
– Then why do you keep interfering with everything I do? yes?
“I am just for China… … .”
-china? Aren’t you intending to increase your own power?
Baekyang openly and openly provocations with a sarcastic voice.
“… When it comes out like this, I can’t stand still. Don’t you think I don’t have any cards? Stop right now.”
-great. don’t stop But Commissioner, this is a warning, a warning not to disturb me any longer. I hope you understand what I mean.
After finishing the call, Junkerin gritted his teeth and said.
“This bastard dares to threaten me?!”
Then the aide said.
“What shall we do, Commissioner?”
Junkerlin now had two options.
Just as Baekyang knows about Junkerin’s evil, it is to counterattack by touching Baekyang’s weakness that Junkerin is aware of, and to pass it quietly for now.
Naturally, Junckerin’s choice was the latter.
“… At the next Politburo meeting, I need to tone down the level of criticism.”
Mutual destruction is certain if the highest powers, called standing committee members, exchange battles with the determination to see the end.
Baekyang also knew that, so she said she would stop the search and seizure.
“Looks like he doesn’t know the relationship between me and Han Ji-hyeok, so I bow down for now. After all, he’s going to drop out of the next standing committee election. It’s not too late to take revenge then. By the way, is Baek Yang crazy?”
There is an unspoken rule among standing committee members.
Even if there is competition, at least corruption is not touched.
Because the moment you touch it, everyone is destroyed.
However, Baek Yang disregarded such an implicit rule and came out.
If Baek Yang knew about the negotiations with Han Ji-hyeok, it would be understandable for her to come out like that, saying, “You die and I die,” but Junkerin didn’t seem to understand that fact even more.
“Baekyang may be ignorant, but he wasn’t that reckless. Is that why you’re so confused? Enough to camp for multiples? Whoa. Anyway, sooner or later this humiliation will pay back many times over… … .”
But then.
Junckerin suddenly felt a chill run through his body.
Then, suddenly, anger towards Baekyang rises.
“… no A guy who will soon be ousted dares to touch my evil aiming for the next president? Besides, I don’t know what Baek Yang will do if I just ignore this. A guy who threatened you once, can’t you do it twice?”
Junkerin seething with anger at Baek Yang, who holds him back as he runs toward his grand dream of becoming a leader.
“I’m going to have to shoot him.”
“yes?”
“Did he have an illegitimate child?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Explode. I need to make you pay for touching me.”
Then the bewildered aide said.
“We, Commissioner, if that happens, the Beijing Development Corporation… … .”
“So blow it up! We shouldn’t let him dare touch the Beijing Development Corporation anymore!”
* * *
Thinking of making Chinese politics a mess, I immediately put the specters into high-ranking politicians.
They’re all so big that it was no big deal to go in and out of so many official events to find their location.
Anyway, the moment my anger toward rivals and political opponents exceeds a certain level, I set the specter to amplify the anger on high-ranking politicians, then activate the white sheep’s specter and press the activation button.
Then, as if Baekyang thought of Junkerrin as a rival, he blew a blow at Junkerrin, and Junkerrin also responded by activating the Specter that had been deployed.
When the two of them started fighting, other members of the Standing Committee intervened, but those standing members were also caught between the two, and the specter was activated in the same way, and the Chinese political world became a mess.
In the meantime, China has been a country where political scandals do not occur easily due to media control and internal solidarity, but once the water is opened, it continues to burst like a flood.
Corruption is basic, and from concubines to illegitimate children, the stinky smell that has been hidden under the water spreads like crazy.
“Will the guy who asked me to negotiate be among them?”
Since the specter has no shape, it is impossible to obtain auditory and visual information, so it is unknown who the person who hid his identity is, but what does that matter?
I took the hand of the guy who secretly contacted me, but if that guy collapses in this situation, it’s enough to join hands with someone else to finish the job.
“By the way, Chinese politics is also complicated. Baekyang and Junkerin are different factions?”
At my words, Park In-gwi nodded and said.
“you’re right. Baekyang is the current president’s faction, and Yunkerin is the former president’s faction.”
“Is that why you attacked Junckerin first?”
“I don’t know that far.”
Perhaps the person who contacted me was the Junkerin.
If Baekyang, the current president faction, is overthrown, the political power of the opposing faction, the Junkerin, will rise, and maybe the president of their own faction will come out from that.
Anyway, I don’t care what the situation is, so I’m going to cross the river and do the Buddhist scriptures.
“It’s fun anyway. They were f*cking with me, and now they are f*cking with each other.”
China is not paying any attention to me because the people are divided and fighting, and even the politicians are fighting each other to expose each other.
“Since China is a mess, aren’t you good too?”
“yes.”
“good. So how do we finish?”
Right now, China is in a situation where all factions are getting a fatal blow due to the exposure war.
Perhaps, starting with the Party Congress to be held in the near future, it might be completely changed.
Of course, if things change like that, the faction that has come into power will do whatever it takes to sort out the chaos.
At that time, I will eat China as much as possible.
Money is money, interest is interest, everything you can get.
‘I’ll have to retrieve the specter by the time the party convention begins.’
Fortunately, unlike Seron, the earth’s magic response is so poor that it can’t handle magic well unless it’s SS, and even those SS grades are far inferior in terms of magic response compared to the strong ones in Saeron, so I didn’t feel the specter.
It probably won’t take unless you put the specter directly into the bodies of SS-level Awakeners, but since you don’t know the world, you should take it out at the right time.
Moreover, so far everything went as I intended, but the specter only triggers anger, and I can’t specify the action caused by that anger, so I don’t know when and what kind of sudden action to take.
‘Anger begets anger. If anger continues to build up and explode and launch nuclear weapons or start a war, that would be difficult for me too.’
That’s when I was thinking about the recovery period.
I got a call from Deokbae Kim.
-President! Have you ever heard of it?
“What are you talking about?”
-Recently, a Chinese S-class Awakener was almost assassinated in a dungeon, and it is said that a high-ranking politician was behind it.
“ok?”
What are you talking about.
Why is a high-ranking politician out of the blue trying to assassinate an Awoken?
“when?”
-It’s recent.
recent?
-Among the high-ranking politicians, there is an E-class Awakener called Jinri Wang, and Jinri Wang is like that. The S-Class Awakener who was almost assassinated is a neighborhood friend of Wang Jin-ri, so the ripple is bigger.
“… for a moment. A childhood friend?”
The specter injected into high-ranking politicians was set to raise the anger of rivals and political opponents.
‘Did he have a rivalry with that awakened person?’
They are childhood friends and both are awakened, but Wang Jin-ri is E-class and her friend is S-class.
Although he gained great power, did his physical inadequacies, especially his inferiority complex towards a friend he has known since childhood, lurked and exploded this time?
‘No, I burnt my rivalry to have my opponent fight, so why does it explode in the wrong place?’
This is the specter’s greatest strength and its worst weakness.
It confuses the enemy by causing unexpected actions, but at the same time, I also do not know what the target will do.
The anger value I set was just 1.5 times, which was set at a level that crossed the line a little more than usual, but even so, this meant that my inferiority complex as an Awakener toward my usual S-class neighborhood friend had already reached the critical point. Is there no way to know
-Thanks to this, it is said that the Awakeners stood up as a group. He said that an innocent Awakener was almost sacrificed by power.
“uh… … .”
I was just thinking of causing political confusion, but suddenly sparks flew in the wrong place.
Now, the situation has become chaos itself, with the awakened people standing up in the political arena that has become a mess.
‘I didn’t mean to go this far?’
I said looking at Park In-gwi.
“Wang Jin-ri, what kind of guy are you?”
“As a member of the Central Committee, I am the current leader faction.”
“Then you’re from the Baekyang side, right?”
“yes.”
I thought for a while, then tousled my hair and said.
“Aye. I do not know.”
It’s China that I didn’t want to see anyway.
It’s a negotiation with this opportunity, and I’ll shake it properly so that it doesn’t come out again, well.
anyway what… I’m sorry, China.
I didn’t mean to do this either.
But what if something has already happened?
“I’ll try as far as I can, well. I don’t know what will happen either.”
