Episode 30. North Korea Coup
Headquarters building of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
This is where the Workers’ Party of Korea, the core class of the Republic, works.
Because of this, there are several buildings surrounding the headquarters structured like a fortress.
This place is not open to the public.
In front of the main gate checkpoint leading to the headquarters building.
Kim Cheol-ryeong stood still in the middle of the road in front of the checkpoint.
Clearly, I was given instructions to stand here at this exact moment.
I think I stood there like that for several minutes.
Nothing happens.
He looked around with anxious eyes.
I could feel the eyes of the people passing by.
There aren’t many cars in North Korea.
That is why there was no vehicle traffic from the beginning, and this road was only for the highest class.
Normally, not just anyone can stand in the center like this.
Wasn’t it a road in the first place?
But the soldiers at the checkpoint didn’t even think about moving when they saw him.
The guards at this checkpoint are particularly strict in their discipline.
Is it because there is a rule of not leaving one’s seat?
No. Maybe it was because it was the first time something like this had happened and he was confused.
Who would do something like this?
In this country, it is not strange to say that you are subject to execution.
Still, there were signs of a brief commotion, and soon a high-ranking military officer came out.
The officer walks slowly from a distance, looking at Kim Cheol-ryeong.
“What are you doing there?! Don’t stand there!”
Kim Cheol-ryeong did not treat him poorly, perhaps because he was wearing the uniform of a high-ranking military officer like himself.
Kim Cheol-ryeong began to wonder what he should say when the author arrived.
But how close was it?
bang!
A sudden gunshot is heard.
And then the head of the officer walking towards him explodes.
Tata tang!!! Tang tang!! Tang tang tang!!!
Soon, gunshots began to ring out here and there, as if a war had broken out throughout the city.
Dozens, no, hundreds, thousands of strong soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took complete control of this road in an instant.
Has it finally begun?
I confirmed that Kim Cheol-ryeong was in my arms.
He said that if you have this, you will never die.
Aah!! Eww!!! Gyaak!!
In an instant, the surroundings became a scene of chaos, and crowds of civilians rushed to run away.
Tataang! Tataang!!
They quickly overpowered the soldiers at the checkpoint and entered the headquarters.
The speed is as fast as a ghost.
As Kim Cheol-ryeong was blankly staring at the scene, someone grabbed his shoulder.
Shudder.
When he turned around in surprise, a soldier a span taller than him was watching him.
“Follow me.”
Nod.
Kim Cheol-ryeong, who was nervous, followed him with a solemn expression.
In addition to the soldiers who entered the headquarters through the checkpoint, there was a line of troops surrounding the perimeter and guarding it.
The area surrounding this headquarters is very wide.
How many soldiers were deployed anyway?
It was a good thing for him, because he had to succeed somehow.
As we passed through the checkpoint, the areas we were passing through were already occupied and his soldiers were positioned everywhere.
Ta-tang ta-tang!! Aaah!!
But even now, gunshots and groans were still heard from various places inside.
Before he knew it, Kim Cheol-ryeong had arrived in front of the headquarters of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
The gunshots are no longer heard.
He followed the soldiers he was leading into the headquarters.
Inside the main building, subdued people were kneeling, and soldiers were stationed everywhere around them.
The appearance of a new character.
The crowd of people glanced at him from the corner of their eyes, overwhelmed by the sight of military officers in uniform rather than fully armed soldiers.
They also feel it instinctively.
I’m talking about the emergence of the one who leads these soldiers.
Kim Cheol-ryeong passed by, feeling an indescribable emotion in their gaze.
After passing through numerous people and passageways, we arrived at a room.
It was an office.
The office door was broken and fell over.
Kim Cheol-ryeong calmly stepped through the door and crossed over.
Inside the room, several people had already been subdued, and the bodies of the military officers who had resisted were visible.
And the center of the office.
A dead man with his head thrown back over his chair.
It was Kim Jeong-dong.
He was certain. There was no one in this land who did not know his face and physique.
The soldier who was accompanying him said to him,
“Your turn.”
Nod.
Kim Cheol-ryeong nodded vigorously.
“There is something to do before that.”
“… … ?”
“Are all the people here who witnessed Kim Jong-dong’s death?”
Nod.
This time the guide nods without answering.
Kim Cheol-ryeong pulled out his pistol with a solemn expression.
Then he aims at the head of the person who is subdued in front of him.
“Okay… Wait a minute.”
Bang! Bang!
Then, one by one, he started killing the people who were held captive in the room.
“Please save me!”
bang!
Kim Cheol-ryeong, who confirmed that everyone had been killed without mercy, only then left the office.
Thud thud.
The hallway outside the office.
As Kim Cheol-ryeong walked out with blood splattered on his face, those who had been restrained outside looked at him with tense eyes.
They also heard gunshots ring out from inside.
Kim Cheol-ryeong looked around and pointed to one person.
“You, come here.”
The man who was pointed out appeared to be a secretarial worker wearing a suit.
“Yes… old!”
He got up and ran using only his two feet because his arms were bound with simple handcuffs.
“Notify the entire army.”
His first command was given.
* * *
Same time.
6th Division of the Korean People’s Army.
Here too, armed men began to rush in from somewhere surrounding the division headquarters.
“Surrender!”
The guard at the checkpoint, startled by the sudden appearance of armed soldiers and shouting, did not even think about raising his gun and immediately raised his hand.
“What is this…?”
“Don’t talk!”
Armed soldiers subdued the guards and captured them.
“Oh my… why are you like this?”
Surprisingly, quite a few soldiers surrendered voluntarily.
Not only were they wearing the same military uniform, but their physique and equipment were clearly different from theirs.
Even after subduing them, quite a few armed soldiers were quickly entering the headquarters.
Bold and fast speed.
In terms of quality, it doesn’t look like any unit of the 6th Division can compete with it.
He was also tall and appeared to be over 180cm, which was two spans shorter than the subdued soldier.
“Wow… That’s a real soldier. They say there are separate armies that fight in wars…”
The soldiers entered the headquarters one after another, leaving behind the impressions of the subdued guards.
Block the escape route by blocking all sides and enter the building.
However, the military officers within the division headquarters were a little different from the soldiers.
“You… You guys, what are you guys!!”
He wouldn’t give in and eventually pulled the trigger.
Bang bang!!
The 6th Division Commander’s Office.
The sound of gunshots coming from outside made the two people inside the office nervous.
It was Lieutenant Colonel Lee Young-ho and the division commander who had come in because they had something to report.
“Lieutenant Lee Young-ho. Check what he’s talking about.”
What on earth could possibly lead to firing a gun within headquarters?
The division commander spoke to the officer across from him with a surprised look on his face.
“Yes, I understand.”
Lieutenant Lee Young-ho was surprised, but not overly worried.
I opened the office door with the thought that it might have been a misfire.
Then he opens the door and looks out, and sees a military officer being subdued by armed soldiers.
“uh?”
And then another armed soldier started coming towards us.
“Huh?”
Before he could even grasp the situation, the soldier grabbed Lee Young-ho by the neck.
“100 million!!”
bang!
Lieutenant Colonel Lee Young-ho was dragged back into the office with a groan.
At the same time, he began to be pinned down and restrained on the floor of the office.
“You… You, what the hell are you?! Where do you belong?!”
The surprised division commander’s cry.
But all that came back were bullets.
Tata tata tang!!
The bullets fired in rapid succession all entered the division commander’s body without missing a single one.
The division commander died on the spot.
And Lee Young-ho opened his eyes wide and witnessed the scene.
Ah! Today is my memorial day.
He closed his eyes, feeling death coming upon him, but fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.
If they were going to kill him in the first place, why did they arrest him?
A few hours later.
Lieutenant Lee Young-ho was kneeling and rolling his eyes.
After a situation arises that is completely incomprehensible.
He was still kneeling in the division commander’s office, subdued.
And these armed soldiers who took over the division headquarters.
At first glance, it looked like they were the People’s Army, but I had no idea where they came from.
“Hey, Ibo… .”
Lee Young-ho, unable to bear his frustration, spoke to the soldier standing next to him.
“Shut up.”
But he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut in the face of the soldier’s determined attitude.
The current situation is scary enough, but how long will it have to go on like this?
It had been quite some time since they had subdued the unit, but no action had been taken.
But since he didn’t say anything, he just knelt down and waited.
That was when.
Ring ring ring.
When I turned my gaze, the phone was ringing.
Thud thud.
A soldier who had been guarding him walked towards the phone.
Click.
After picking up the phone, he approached Lee Young-ho again.
“Take it.”
When the soldier handed him the phone, Lee Young-ho politely answered it with his tied hands.
I asked into the phone without even knowing English.
“I… who… who?”
[Affiliation!]
A sudden shout is heard.
Lieutenant Lee Young-ho came to his senses.
“6th Division Headquarters Division Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Lee Young-ho!”
It was a voice that was full of discipline, like something one might hear when one had just enlisted.
[Lieutenant Lee Young-ho, listen carefully.]
“yes!”
[Comrade Kim Jong-dong was killed by rebels.]
“… … !!”
Comrade Leader has passed away…? What… What is this…?
Is this really true?
[Choi Dong-cheol was immediately executed on charges of sympathizing with the rebellion.]
Choi Dong-cheol was the name of the division commander in which he served.
“… … !!”
Lee Young-ho looked at the division commander’s body, still lying cold.
It was a series of surprises.
Comrade Division Commander…?
It’s been a while since I’ve assisted you, but it was something I never thought of.
I never thought I would do something like that.
[Comrade Lee Young-ho, did Choi Dong-cheol ever tell you to join the rebellion?]
Someone he didn’t know asked him in a chilling voice.
“No! There is none! Comrade! Trust me!!”
Lieutenant Lee Young-ho shouted desperately in surprise.
Did his earnestness get through?
The other person, who had been silent for a moment, soon spoke.
[Attend the 9th Party Congress as a division commander’s representative by noon on the 17th.]
“Yes!! Understood!!”
Stop.
The call was disconnected.
Gulp.
Is it a mountain?
Looking around at the soldiers, there was no sign of them trying to harm him.
But now something more important has come up.
Attend the party convention.
It is not easy to cross regions in Joseon territory.
Time was tight as I had to go up to Pyongyang within a few days.
We had to leave right now.
Lee Young-ho asked the soldier watching him.
“Can I… go now?”
