A Lie Has Turned Into Reality - Chapter 299

“Do you really think it’s possible?”

As we left the Blue House, Park Yoon-seong, sitting in the driver’s seat, asked me.

I leaned back against the back of the chair and chuckled.

“Why do you think it will fall through?”

“… I think there will be no small amount of opposition from the National Assembly.”

Well, that’s true.

Handing over criminals to North Korea? That’s no problem.

If there is a problem, it is that the sentence should be tried in North Korea rather than South Korea.

Of course, we plan to put in place various safety measures to prevent abuse, limited to special criminals.

Anyway, this might be unpleasant depending on how you take it.

“South Korea also has a veto, so it is not such a one-sided deal.”

“That’s true.”

“First of all, what would you do if you refused the right to negotiate?”

This is a long-cherished political project with astronomical vested interests at stake.

The only condition offered in exchange for giving it to them is recycling of criminals.

But what if Congress rejects this?

Then at that moment public opinion will start burning like hellfire.

“You guys are clearly trying desperately to hide it… Ah!”

Park Yoon-seong sighed as if he had only just realized something.

I guess he seems to realize what I’m trying to say.

“Wrecker…”

bingo.

What if I desperately try to hide it?

I have decided to spread it throughout South Korea.

“It would be difficult to object recklessly, right?”

What if you object?

Not only will I have to face the sway of public opinion, but I will also have to endure the concentrated control of the administration that is already on my side.

Of course, it doesn’t end there.

I plan to continue to take intensive care of incompetent politicians who promise to do good things for them, but then end up spitting them out.

The sway of public opinion.

Concentrated checks and balances on the executive branch.

SW Group and friendly SW companies.

And, the eyes of each country, blinded by the idea of ​​joining the railway business.

Can you handle all this?

Then why don’t you try opposing it?

“Didn’t President Seo Jun-hyun ask you to take charge of it?”

“Yes.”

“I trust President Seo Jun-hyun. Well, if it doesn’t work out, why don’t you use a presidential decree?”

Above him, the SW Group is pressing down, below him, the people are threatening him with knives, and on both sides, all kinds of temptations are confusing him.

If we just hand over to North Korea criminals who are of no use to society, how could we refuse that?

He probably won’t be picky about the means.

He is not so big as to miss the opportunity to reap both public praise and enormous benefits at the same time.

“I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

If you don’t, knives will fly from all directions.

If you don’t want to die, you’ll figure it out.

*****

Seoul, Republic of Korea.

A building in Gangnam.

“… … ”

President Suh Joon-hyun was facing the Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice, the Chief of Staff to the President, and politicians representing the opposition party.

The reason why the people who form the axis of the nation gathered in one place.

A few days ago, the meeting was held to discuss the agenda proposed by Chairman Kim Seong-woo.

“Are you crazy?”

Lee Jae Hoon.

Those were the opening words of a member of South Korea’s National Assembly, the leading presidential candidate, and the most powerful man in the current opposition party.

“The right to punish is clearly the inherent right of the Republic of Korea. What? Let’s sell that right to North Korea? If we keep passing it off like that, one by one, we’ll end up handing over the entire country.”

He snorted and shot back coldly.

In fact, President Seo Jun-hyun’s choice was not wrong.

It may be a bit of a random suggestion, but all it would do is send criminals back to North Korea.

In addition, various safety devices including the right of veto are in place, it does not have permanent binding force, and since it is newly established and operated as an international organization for judicial cooperation between South and North Korea, isn’t it set up so that it can respond sternly to issues that could be harmful to South Korea?

Rather, it is a one-sided good proposal for South Korea.

Yeah, that’s exactly the problem.

‘This must be stopped at all costs.’

It is clear that Chairman Kim Sung-woo promised ‘priority negotiation rights for all North Korean state-run projects.’

This is essentially the same as saying that they will force-feed us food of the future.

Huge vested interests.

A long-awaited project of the government.

The moment the ruling party starts eating all of that raw, their approval ratings will also skyrocket.

That will never happen.

We cannot allow the efforts of the opposition party, which has been destroying the current government’s approval rating by linking all sorts of social problems, to go down the drain.

“Ha, this guy is a total spy.”

That’s why I pretended to be angry.

No, I was actually angry.

Because I got a crazy stomach ache from receiving an offer to eat that kind of food on that day.

“A spy? That’s too harsh!!”

“Haha, did Rep. Lee Jae-hoon say something wrong? It seems like you all are willing to sell off state power in order to get a little more money.”

“Is this something that can be solved by insisting so stubbornly?”

“Okay, I don’t know. Even if it’s the SW Group, I think this is crossing the line.”

The conversation is heating up.

But the heat just kept rising and the meeting didn’t progress.

They just repeat what they want to say like parrots.

“Representative Lee Jae-hoon.”

President Seo Jun-hyun, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.

“What’s going on?”

“Does that mean the opposition party will oppose SW Group’s proposal?”

“Haha, I’m just confused because my personal opinion is tied to the decision of the entire opposition party.”

President Seo Jun-hyun nodded after hearing the answer.

“Then, is it okay for me to know that Representative Lee Jae-hoon is against the proposal?”

“Well, that’s true. But why do you ask that?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Shh.

The corners of President Seo Jun-hyun’s mouth curved upward.

“I need a list.”

“List?”

“Yes, I mean the list of people who are against the motion.”

“… … !!”

A list of those who oppose.

At this point, Rep. Lee Jae-hoon suddenly stood up from his seat.

“You’re threatening me right now!!”

“How could that be? I am also in a position where I was asked to do something, so please understand.”

“ask…?”

“First of all, I understand your position, Congressman.”

He muttered with a very calm face.

I did not get angry at Rep. Lee Jae-hoon’s remarks, did not refute them, and did not try to persuade him either.

He just laughed.

As if they were laughing at what you could do.

‘No way… from SW Group…’

SW Group wants to recycle criminals.

An agenda that was pushed through while promising enormous benefits to the South Korean president.

Of course, I expected fierce opposition from that side as well.

In that situation, you asked the president for a list of those who opposed you?

Then surely…

Are you planning to force your way through by breaking them one by one?

“… … ”

An eerie silence hung in the air.

At first, I thought it was just a place for persuasion.

But it wasn’t.

The reason they were gathered together was to write down the names of those who opposed the agenda.

“What do other people think?”

President Seo Jun-hyun leisurely looks around the audience.

But this time, there was a strange silence.

“Did Chairman Kim Seong-woo ask for the list?”

At that time, an opposition party member sitting next to Representative Lee Jae-hoon asked.

“I can’t tell you that.”

“How is this any different from a threat?”

“Threats? Do I look like I’m threatening you?”

haha.

President Seo Jun-hyun laughed out loud.

“Then let me speak comfortably.”

“…”

“Against? Go ahead. If there is a majority opposition, the process will be delayed. But that’s all. The cost of rejecting a long-awaited project with huge national interests at stake for mere political reasons will fall entirely on you.”

“Huh, huh huh.”

“If you try to bring down the ruling party’s approval ratings, you will face a backlash that is even worse. The list will be made public, the label of “the greatest piece of trash” will follow you throughout your political career, and you will be met with a storm of public criticism. And that’s not all? SW Group will remember your names. For quite a long time.”

Rep. Lee Jae-hoon looked at the president with a blank expression.

All the opposition party members gathered there blinked their eyes in disbelief.

“More than anything, there is something you are mistaken about.”

“…?”

“Nothing will change just because you guys are against it. The result is already set in stone.”

The outcome is already decided?

“What does that mean?”

“The longer the policy is extended, the more pressure will come from each country, including the SW Group.”

Rep. Lee Jae-hoon snorted inwardly.

But soon his face became serious.

‘Come to think of it, if it’s Kim Sung-woo…’

Kim Sung-woo is a person who does what he has to do.

It is a monster among monsters that even the hegemony-crazed United States, which destroys all kinds of companies and even countries just because it doesn’t like them, is keeping an eye on.

Are you pressuring the government to reject the offer?

If it’s Kim Sung-woo, he’ll do more than enough.

Above all, what Kim Sung-woo fears the most is…

‘The reason is…’

Solving social problems.

That powerful justification lies with Kim Seong-woo.

“You will remember how China fell.”

As you know.

I once tried to crack down on voice phishing by targeting China.

“What do you think Korea is like?”

Economic pressure.

The powerful sound rang in Rep. Lee Jae-hoon’s eardrums.

“There will be enormous damage.”

“…”

“Who is responsible for the damage?”

In the face of a national crisis, public opinion will flare up on an unprecedented scale.

So, who will be targeted by that great anger?

“Once a national crisis is created like that, the way opens up.”

“Road… is that right?”

“Emergency Order”

“…!!”

Emergency order.

It is an order that allows the President to take emergency measures regardless of authority at his discretion in a national crisis.

“You, congressman, will become the scum of the earth who ruined the country, and I will become a hero who saved the country despite opposition.”

It’s an exaggeration.

From the beginning, Kim Seong-woo had no intention of going that far, and he never even asked for a list of those who opposed him.

But President Seo Jun-hyun has already set the stage.

He mentioned the list covertly, set the mood, and at the end, he brought up the last move he had left.

Above all, the achievements that Chairman Kim Seong-woo has built up so far.

That notorious and shockingly reckless behavior lends powerful plausibility to the President’s words.

“Can you handle it?”

The question comes back in reverse.

“Let me ask you again.”

Tick ​​tock.

The clock hands turn back.

“Those who object, please raise your hand.”

Of course.

No one sitting there raised a hand.
