Episode 222: Information is power

The Prime Minister trembled and spoke to the Jangheung police chief.

“First, arrest the county governor on charges of bribery. It’s a crime scene. And there… “If you search them, you’ll find a bag of money.”

The police chief trembled at the prime minister’s words.

‘That crazy guy. ‘Did you get an envelope of money here?’

In fact, the police chief and the county governor were close. This was because the two most powerful people in this village were the two. Of course, we also exchanged small details.

The chief looked at the county governor. He was shaking his head and quietly saying, ‘Help me.’

The chief said after thinking about it.

“Prime Minister, first listen to what the governor has to say… … .”

The Prime Minister cut off his words with a puzzled expression.

“Are you disobeying orders now? Well, it’s worth knowing.”

The prime minister was not a very clean person either. That’s why I understand the situation even more now. But now everyone was watching.

The Prime Minister immediately called the Police Commissioner.

“Commissioner, let’s go. The police chief of Jangheung is not listening to me. Even though they tell us to catch the criminal at the scene. “I have no choice but to contact the prosecution.”

As soon as the Prime Minister hung up the phone, a call came to his cell phone. He was the police chief.

The Prime Minister mumbled without answering the phone.

“I guess I’ll have to tell the prosecution to also search the Jangheung County mayor and police chief.”

In an instant, the chief’s expression turned white. Once the prosecution stepped in, everything was over.

“Prime Minister! sorry. “I will implement it immediately.”

The governor’s face distorted at those words.

“hey! “If I keep doing this, I know I’ll just die!”

Hearing the governor’s words, the chief gritted his teeth and called the police station.

“hey. I’m the chief, and I’m calling all the kids here. right now!”

The restaurant was in chaos. There were only a few people speaking, but that made it even more chaotic.

The people gathered here noticed what was happening and started to go outside one by one.

At that time, the police chief looked at everyone and said:

“Everyone stop moving. I know who everyone here is. “Stay still and don’t move a single step!”

Jangheung’s area was 662 square kilometers, larger than Seoul. However, the population was small, and the local population was only a few dozen people.

That meant the chief knew most of the people here.

It was then. The governor of Jangheung knelt down to the prime minister and said.

“Prime Minister. crime… sorry. It’s my birthday today, so I was so drunk that I think I lost my mind for a moment. normally… … .”

“Ah, it’s okay. “People can make mistakes.”

The governor of Jangheung opened his eyes wide and said.

“thank you. If you just turn a blind eye to this incident, from now on… … .”

“But you have to pay for your mistakes, right? And you have to decide whether it was really a mistake or not.”

“Well, that was a real mistake!”

The Prime Minister said while looking at the birthday party attendees.

“There are a lot of people here who can judge that.”

For a moment, the governor’s head drooped. This was because my relationship with them was not just a day or two, but a relationship that lasted for almost 10 years.

If just one person opened their mouth, everything would be over.

– A rattle.

Then the bell rang again. People were shocked. Because every time the bell rang, something unbelievable was happening.

Fortunately, nothing incredible happened this time. What was expected happened. That’s why it was even more despairing.

“Chief!”

They were police officers from Jangheung Police Station. Dozens of police officers came rushing in.

The chief instructed them.

“Book the county governor on charges of bribery. And envelopes of money, there will be money for county employees. “Take everyone here and check everyone who gave money.”

“All right.”

It was a mess after that. Everyone tried not to get dragged away.

“hey. Heungsik, it’s me! “I’m a senior at Jangheung High School!”

“Dongseok. “I’m your older brother next door!”

Everyone begged the police. It was inevitable that most of the people here had graduated from elementary, middle, and high school in Jangheung.

Since they were people tied by school ties, blood ties, and local ties, everyone knew their faces well. Actually, normally this would have worked.

But the police weren’t stupid either. In front of me was the Prime Minister and the Minister of National Defense.

There was the 31st Division Commander, and there were a lot of foreigners who seemed to have something.

“Arrest everyone!”

In the end, it wasn’t long before everyone was arrested. The Jangheung police chief also left, saying he would go and do his job.

The restaurant became quiet.

It was then. Dojun, who was in the room, opened the door and came out.

* * *

Dojun closed the door after seeing people leaving.

“It’s quiet now.”

Sally asked Dojun’s words.

“What on earth happened? Could it be that Dojun did it?”

Dojun said, looking at Dorothy with a grin.

“I didn’t do it, my mother-in-law did it.”

“Mom?”

Dorothy shook her head.

“I’m really curious. I just did what you told me to do. But it got quiet. Can you explain what happened? “It feels like magic happened.”

Dojun shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I just took advantage of Korean characteristics.”

“characteristic?”

“I can’t live with being insulted. Especially in front of everyone else. Fortunately… “Someone got what I meant.”

“Then, are those Koreans the ones you invited?”

Dojun shook his head.

“no. “They must be people who followed the U.S. Secretary of Defense.”

“Minister of Defense? why?”

“Should I say that this is my second Korean special? “They have a habit of sticking around if they think it will help their power.”

Dorothy opened her eyes wide.

“All those people?”

Just as Dojun was about to explain, the door opened and the restaurant owner came in.

“Oh my gosh, I don’t know what’s going on. “You were very surprised, right?”

The restaurant owner came in with a very surprised expression.

Dojun said with a grin.

“it’s okay. “The boss was really surprised, right?”

“I’m a little surprised, but it’s okay. But Do-jun, you are meeting each other, right? Is everyone okay? Foreigners too?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

The restaurant owner sighed in relief and said, hearing Dojun’s words.

“Then the food is ready. Shall we put it in?”

“is it so? “Then please give it to me.”

After a while, employees came in and set up the food.

Everyone in Sally’s family saw this and looked at the food with their mouths open. The food was so bad that the legs of the table broke.

The restaurant owner said to Dojun.

“Dojun said it was your meeting, so I paid special attention. Besides, he said there were foreign guests coming, so he mainly made some simple food.”

There were pork ribs, beef bulgogi, and various pancakes. There were many foods unique to Jeolla-do, but most of them were decent foods that did not leave much to be liked or disliked.

“Thank you, uncle.”

“What is gratitude? Rather, I felt sorry. Now that there is no more noise, eat as much as you want. “By the way, this is a gift I specially brought for you.”

The restaurant owner took out a large bottle and placed it on the table. Hwang Gang-cheol shouted when he saw that.

“Surely, this is Hongju?”

“that’s right. Is it okay to use it if alcohol is not present at the meeting? You know my wife’s hometown is Jindo, right? This is the real Hongjoo. “This is my gift that I didn’t even give to the governor.”

Hwang Kang-cheol, who saw Hong-ju, had already whetted his appetite.

The restaurant owner said, pointing to the middle of the table.

“This is the Jangheung Samhap that everyone knows well even without explaining it. “We prepared it as a very special product.”

Samhap usually means eating sour kimchi, skate, and pork together. However, skates are so popular that Jangheung made Jangheung Samhap as a specialty.

A grill was placed in the middle of the table, and Korean beef, clams, and shiitake mushrooms were placed on it. They were all Jangheung specialties.

Dojun saw that and said to the restaurant owner.

“By the way, mister. “There are still a lot of Samhap foods, right?”

“Food? Even if there are no special items, there is still food prepared for the birthday party, right? why?”

“Can you give that to everyone out there? “If Hongju has anything left, I’ll ask for it from outside as well.”

The restaurant owner nodded.

“Everyone from the county office has already gone, so I think there will be enough food.”

“Then, please do me a favor.”

Dojun said that and stood up. Sally asked right away.

“Dojun, where are you going?”

“I made something noisy quiet, so I should say thank you. “Don’t worry, I’ll come right back.”

Dojun opened the door and went outside.

At that moment, everyone outside was looking at Do-jun.

* * *

Prime Minister Jeong Sang-soo’s face was very red.

‘I was completely embarrassed in front of American VIPs. ha. ‘You crazy bastards, what are you going to do if you receive an envelope of money outright?’

CIA agents confirmed the scene of receiving the money envelope and reported it to the CIA Director. It was truly a disgrace to the country.

‘This is why rural areas are not allowed. Even if I received it, I should have received it secretly.’

The Prime Minister bowed his head. As it was, there was no prestige.

‘It’s a big deal. If this happens, it is impossible to know what the US Secretary of Defense is trying to do by coming to Korea.’

What is the reason you came here? The purpose was to find out what the United States was trying to do in Korea and to steer it to Korea’s advantage.

But now, let alone understanding the situation, I couldn’t even raise my face.

‘What do we do?’

The prime minister, who was pondering, turned his head. A closed sliding door appeared in front of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister’s eyes widened.

‘The reason they came here today is because of Hwang Do-jun, right?’

At first, I didn’t know why the US Secretary of Defense was coming to Jangheung. However, while we were driving together, I learned that the daughter of Congressman Robert, a member of the U.S. National Defense Committee, was having a meeting in Jangheung today.

‘The target is CEO Hwang Do-jun.’

Hwang Do-jun was a person whom Prime Minister Jeong Sang-soo knew well.

‘The person who saved Korea from almost buying Lehman. However, he is the one who continues to refuse to meet with the President.’

China, which purchased Lehman, was still reeling. It’s a shame because it’s China, and everyone was saying that if Korea had bought Lehman, a second IMF would have come.

‘If I had done that, my political career would have been over.’

In some ways, Hwang Do-jun was a grateful person who extended his political life.

‘I think CEO Hwang Do-jun is a greater person than I thought. But no matter how great it is, did these Americans come for a reunion?’

There was absolutely no way that would happen. The Prime Minister’s eyes lit up.

‘These people, I have something to ask of Hwang Do-jun. ‘Of course, being the Minister of Defense and the Director of the CIA means that the request is not an ordinary request.’

At that moment, Prime Minister Jeong Sang-soo realized how he should act.

‘What if I step in and help? Seeing that they have come this far, perhaps Hwang Do-Jun has already rejected their request, or he is just that desperate for the United States.’

The Prime Minister thought that he might be able to persuade Hwang Do-jun better than the Americans.

It was then. The door opened and Dojun came out.

‘Good! ‘It’s coming out at the right time!’

The Prime Minister, thinking he was lucky, approached Dojun and held out his hand.

“haha. CEO Hwang Do-jun. “It is an honor to meet you.”

* * *

Dojun was puzzled as he watched the Prime Minister extend his hand.

‘Why do you act so friendly?’

Even though it was my first time seeing the Prime Minister, he greeted me warmly as if I had seen him for years. Normally he would have been reluctant, but he helped me today, so Do-jun held my hand and said.

“Nothing much to say, Prime Minister.”

“ha ha ha. I heard a lot about Representative Hwang from the Minister of Strategy and Finance. Maybe that’s why I feel like I’ve seen him several times even though it was my first time seeing him.”

“Oh, you heard from them. “I always feel sorry for always turning down my requests.”

“I can’t help it if you’re busy. By the way, it’s a meeting today. Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

When Dojun laughed, the Prime Minister also laughed along with him. To anyone who saw it, it almost seemed like we had known each other for ten years.

The Prime Minister stood next to Dojun and turned to face forward.

“By the way, there are many guests here today, let me introduce them to you.”

Dojun chuckled to himself. This is because he had already confirmed the Prime Minister’s text message through copycat.

‘I want to know why the US Secretary of Defense came here. But there’s no way America will tell you that, so they’re approaching me.’

Normally, Do-jun would have left the Prime Minister alone. But Dojun knew why the U.S. Secretary of Defense had come here.

‘The United States will never share information with Korea. How do you tell them you’re planning to attack an Iranian nuclear facility? This is information that must be kept as confidential as possible. At least until the operation is over.’

Dojun said while looking at the Prime Minister.

“it’s okay. “Everyone knows this.”

“yes? You know? No way… … .”

The Prime Minister tilted his head. He said he had talked to people on his way here, and everyone except Brigadier General Kyle and Congressman Robert said they had never met Dojun.

As the Prime Minister tilted his head, Do-jun approached the US Secretary of Defense and spoke.

“U.S. Secretary of Defense Gates. nice to see you.”

“I guess you heard from Robert? “It’s nice to meet you like this.”

“I go to America often. I saw you on TV. “You look much nicer in person.”

The U.S. Secretary of Defense laughed out loud at Dojun’s words.

“haha. “This is my first time hearing something like that, but it’s not bad.”

Dojun grinned and answered.

“How about we talk about better things after the meeting?”

At that moment, the Minister of Defense’s eyes widened. This was exactly what he wanted to hear.

“I’m looking forward to our conversation.”

The Minister of Defense smiled broadly. It was because he was confident that he would somehow coax Do-jun once the conversation started. He even made a report on the method at the CIA and reported it to himself.

‘No matter how skilled you are, you will not be able to defeat the CIA.’

Dojun smiled and greeted the Minister of National Defense and moved to the side. He was the director of the CIA.

“Nice to meet you, CIA Director Leon Peteta.”

The CIA director looked slightly surprised.

“haha. I didn’t know you knew me. “Did you see it on TV too?”

“no. “I heard it from my father-in-law.”

Actually, it wasn’t. This was what the copycat told me.

Now, information about everyone here was floating in front of Dojun’s eyes.

“I see. “It is an honor to meet you.”

Up to this point, everyone agreed. I thought I would have known if Robert had told me.

However, Dojun’s next move was something that everyone expected.

“Agent James. Nice to meet you.”

Dojun spoke to an agent in the CIA’s Korean branch, whose name no one knew except the CIA director.

For a moment, there was silence on the American side. In particular, the CIA director’s eyes were wide open.

‘Agent information… It’s confidential, how do you know? They have all our information. how?’

In fact, the CIA director was confident of completely overpowering Do-jun in this conversation. Information was power, and the CIA director controlled all the world’s information.

‘no way… Is this a warning? Does Dojun know our countermeasures?’

The CIA director realized that today’s schedule would not be easy and gave up on the idea of ​​properly threatening Do-jun to get what he wanted.

And the CIA director wasn’t the only one who thought that way.

After talking with everyone on the American side, including CIA agents, Do-jun approached the Korean side.

“Thank you for coming, 31st Division Commander Kim Hong-jun.”

Dojun greeted the 31st Division commander, the Minister of National Defense, and even said the names of their accompanying secretaries.

And finally, he approached the Prime Minister and spoke.

“It was your wife’s birthday yesterday, right? It is rumored that the two of you have good gold threads. I also want to live like the Prime Minister. “Please give me a lot of advice.”

The Prime Minister’s body froze. It wasn’t until yesterday evening that he found out that yesterday was his wife’s birthday. Her wife found out when she texted her asking if she had forgotten her own birthday.

Dojun, who greeted everyone, spoke in front of the frozen people.

“I would like to thank everyone who came to my meeting today.”

Dojun knew very well that the people who came here today did not come for his meeting. So he turned it around and said it.

People’s faces became more determined.

“In Korea, if there is a happy occasion, we share it with everyone. “Eunje will treat you today, so please enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

Dojun said that and entered the room. Restaurant workers flocked in and started putting food on the tables.

The CIA Director spoke to the US Secretary of Defense.

“Minister, I think we need to change our strategy. Dojun Hwang is not an ordinary person. He seems to have a separate intelligence network. “Maybe they are still watching our every move.”

The US Secretary of Defense smiled broadly.

“Director, stop.”

“yes? but… … .”

“Actually, I looked into Dojun Hwang before I came here. “To the FBI director.”

“yes? “Is it the FBI?”

“Okay, FBI. The FBI has already operated with him. he said He should never have Do Jun Hwang as his enemy. I’m telling you to approach it truthfully. “I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but I think I know now.”

After a while, Korean beef, clams, and shiitake mushrooms began to cook on the table’s iron plate.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense said as he opened the lid of a bottle of Hongju, which was provided to each table.

“Now, hurry up and eat. Didn’t Dojun Hwang tell you to enjoy it? Who knows? “If we really eat it deliciously, will our feelings be conveyed?”

And the US Secretary of Defense’s prediction was correct. Two hours later, the three people walked on the white sand beach and talked.

Dojun said to the two people.

“Israel will never launch missiles.”
