Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1101 1087 [Spring in Seoul]

boom!
The scene exploded.

"What, the commander-in-chief was assassinated?"

"Our president—"

The whole audience couldn't believe what they heard.

Even Samsung's emperor Lee Byung-chul, who was always calm and composed, suddenly changed color at this moment. He grabbed Jin Kui's shoulders and shook him hard: "Are you telling the truth?"

Chung Ju-yung said: "This is a serious matter, please don't lie to us!"

Jin Kui didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his head and stammered, "How dare I lie to you, the presidents! Commander Park was really assassinated, and the one who assassinated him was..."

Jin Kui recounted in detail the news he had just received from the Blue House.

"President Park has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The entire Blue House is under martial law. No, it should be the entire Seoul that will soon be declared under martial law! Chairman, you must make a decision quickly!"

Jin Kui knew that the assassination of the president would likely cause an earthquake in the political arena, and the Samsung Group, having lost its supporters, would once again become a wandering ghost.

Li Bingzhe's expression changed again and again.

Of course he understood what Jin Kui meant.

He had just established a friendly personal relationship with President Park, who also publicly announced his support for Samsung.

Now something unexpected has happened. If President Park is assassinated, then Samsung must quickly find its next supporter!
The question is, who will be the next president?

Could it be Cui Hangui?

Yes, it should be him!
He is the heir apparent after the commander-in-chief was assassinated!

Lee Byung-chul rubbed his cheeks fiercely. "The situation is urgent now. We must work together!" He said to Chung Ju-yung, "When the political situation stabilizes, we can have a long talk again."

Chung Ju-yung's mind was already in a mess. He was anxious to go back and take charge of the situation and did not dare to stay here any longer.

The same goes for other big guys.

Everyone said goodbye.

Only Du Yongxiao looked at the scene coldly, drinking a cocktail and watching with indifference.

His friend Li Jianxi was extremely anxious. After discussing with his father Li Bingzhe, he was ready to return to Samsung as soon as possible to take charge. He turned his head inadvertently and saw Du Yongxiao, who was watching with his hands in his trouser pockets, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He walked towards Du Yongxiao and said, "Mr. Du, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it or not?"

"You said."

"For some reason, I have an illusion at this moment--" Li Jianxi swallowed his saliva and looked at Du Yongxiao, "As if you had already expected all this, didn't you?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, put down his cocktail, and admired the keen observation of the Samsung prince.

"You think too highly of me. How could I have predicted that the commander-in-chief would be assassinated?"

Li Jianxi looked at Du Yongxiao deeply and said, "Yes, your answer is correct. How could you have predicted such a thing? Maybe I was overthinking it."

After Li Jianxi finished speaking, he bowed to Du Yongxiao and said, "I'm sorry, such a big thing has happened and I have to go back to the company to deal with some matters. I'll have to excuse myself for now!"

Du Yongxiao nodded, picked up the cocktail again, and raised his glass to invite him: "Let's drink when you are free."

"Okay!" Li Jianxi took a last deep look at Du Yongxiao before turning and leaving.

After Li Jianxi left, Jiang Ling'er suddenly tugged at Du Yongxiao's sleeve: "Husband, seriously, do you really know?"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Did you know that General Park was going to be assassinated?"

Not only Jiang Ling'er was curious, but Yan Xiong, Zhuang Dingxian and others were also very curious. They pricked up their ears and looked extremely gossipy.

Du Yongxiao looked at Jiang Ling'er's curious face and laughed, "How come you are like Li Jianxi and really think I'm a god?"

Du Yongxiao just laughed it off.

But Jiang Ling'er looked unconvinced.

Yan Xiong and Zhuang Dingxian looked at each other and also didn't believe it.

They have been with Du Yongxiao for so long and have the deepest sense of his magic.

Many times, Du Yongxiao can make the most amazing judgments at the most ingenious time.

This is true whether in Hong Kong, the UK or the US.

Especially Yan Xiong, who was once Du Yongxiao's opponent, often felt that he didn't even know how he died. The trend and the general situation were developing in Du Yongxiao's favor.

Du Yongxiao looked at the three people's half-believing and half-doubting expressions, and laughed: "Let's go! Samsung's people have already left, and the other big guys have gone back to work. We also have to prepare ourselves--"

"What preparations?" The three of them asked in unison, looking at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao put down his cocktail and took a deep breath: "Clean up the mess!"

……

South Korean President Park Chung-hee was shot dead in a well in the underground palace of the South Korean Central Intelligence Agency's office by the agency's director Kim Jae-gyu. Also killed were the president's chief bodyguard Cha Ji-chul and five of the president's personal bodyguards.

After the assassination of President Park, Kim Jae-gyu was arrested, and Prime Minister Choi Kyu-gap assumed the power of the president.

Cui Kuijia was a diplomat and had little political experience, which led to his inability to control the military power.

The provisional South Korean government announced at 27 a.m. on the 4th that martial law would be imposed across the country except for the tourist destination of Jeju Island.

The martial law commander, Army Chief of Staff Zheng Shenghe, immediately issued the first martial law order: all news media, interviews and reports must be subject to news censorship. The US government, 8000 kilometers away, also reacted strongly to this incident. President Jimmy Carter was awakened from his sleep by his assistant at 2:20 in the morning and learned the news. He then convened the National Security Council to discuss emergency measures for Park Chung-hee's assassination.

The meeting decided: to immediately order the 39000 US soldiers stationed in South Korea to enter "Level Alert Status" through the Ministry of National Defense.

Soon, more than a month passed, and the whole of South Korea was shrouded in gloom due to the assassination of the President and the inaction of the interim transitional government.

South Korea's business leaders are all in danger, not knowing what policies the new government will adopt to deal with them.

The group alliance proposed by Samsung Group has been temporarily shelved. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen and find a way out for the group in the future. At the same time, the Korean military has also begun to fight overtly and covertly. The "Seoul Spring" predicted by Du Yongxiao is about to take place.

……

South Korean military
Isshinkai secret organization.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was solemn. Almost every big boss was holding a cigarette, with the cigarette butt flickering as he smoked fiercely.

General Quan Douguang, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, suddenly crushed his cigarette into the ashtray, raised his head and looked at everyone fiercely: "Shit, what are you still thinking about, what are you still hesitating about? Jin Zaikyu assassinated the commander-in-chief, which is treason, which is rebellion! Now Zheng Shenghe is obviously protecting him, saying that he assassinated the commander-in-chief against his will, what does this mean? It's obviously a collusion! They want to change the dynasty, have they asked us?"

1979 was the year of the world's second oil crisis. South Korea's economy was weak and a protest by migrant workers broke out in Masan, Busan. At that time, President Park took a tough stance against the workers, while Kim Jae-kyu suggested a gentle approach.

Fearing that he would be fired due to his disagreement with Park Chung-hee, Kim Jae-kyu decided to strike first and kill Park Chung-hee.

On the day of the assassination, South Korean leader Park Chung-hee took his bodyguard Cha Ji-cheol to have dinner with intelligence minister Kim Jae-kyu. He wanted to take this opportunity to resolve the grudge between Kim Jae-kyu and Cha Ji-cheol, his two confidants.

While they were eating and drinking, Kim Jae-gyu pulled out a pistol from his waist and shot Cha Ji-cheol, then turned and shot Park Chung-hee. Park Chung-hee fell down with blood gushing out of his chest.

When the intelligence personnel outside heard the gunshots inside, they also joined in and shot all of Park Chung-hee's guards to death.

Kim Jae-kyu bent down and walked up to Park Chung-hee. When he heard him groaning, he shot him again in the head. The 62-year-old president died at the hands of his confidant.

After the incident, Kim Jae-gyu fled to Zheng Shenghe, hoping that Zheng Shenghe could protect him.

Speaking of Zheng Shenghe, he is also a powerful figure.

He and Quan Douguang represent two factions in the military - the new military and the old military respectively.

Zheng Shenghe controlled the command system and personnel rights of the South Korean Army at that time, and also commanded troops such as Zhang Taiwan's Capital Guard Command, Zheng Bingzhou's Special Operations Command, and Kim Jin-ki's Military Police Inspectorate, which were the pillars of political power.

Quan Douguang's "basic card" is the secret organization "Issin Society" in the South Korean army.

Most of the members of this organization are graduates of the 11th class of the Korean Army Academy, such as Jeon Doo-kwang and Roh Tae-woo.

In February 1963, the organization's predecessor, the "Five Star Society", was established. Its members included Jeon Doo-gwang, Roh Tae-woo, Kim Bok-dong, Choi Seong-taek, and Baek Un-taek. Later, under the care of Yoon Pil-yong and Park Jong-kyu, the "One Heart Society" was established.

Their slogan is "United for the sun, for the motherland."

Up to now, the Isshin Society has a total of 142 members, consisting of the top 11 graduates from the 22th to 10nd classes of the Army Officer School. They have been distributed among the high-ranking officers of the Army and are the most solid force under Quan Douguang.

Soon after Park Chung-hee was assassinated, Chun Doo-gwang showed his excessive concern for politics. This "concern" was quickly seen through by Zheng Shenghe, who warned Chun Doo-gwang that "soldiers don't need to be too concerned about politics, and should follow the path that pure soldiers should follow."

Although Zheng Shenghe ostensibly stood on the side of the government of the acting commander-in-chief Cui Kuijia and asked the army to "maintain political neutrality", he was also dissatisfied with Cui Kuijia.

Zheng plans to nominate Choi Se-in, Park Hyun-sik, and Park Young-soo, who are close to him, to join the cabinet tomorrow, December 12, and then take the opportunity to retire and later unite with other factions within the Republican Party to nominate himself.

If Jeon Doo-gwang wants to seize the highest power in South Korea, he must first take control of the military, and to take control of the military, he must get rid of Jeong Seng-hyuk.

Therefore, what is before us is the final showdown between these two forces.

"Zheng Shenghe's team is quite strong, even stronger than us!"

"Yes, he controls the army's command and personnel power. In addition, Zhang Taiwan, who is in charge of the Capital Garrison Command, is also his subordinate. There are also the Special Warfare Department, the Military Police Department, etc. These are all his forces and should not be underestimated!"

Lu Taiyu and others spoke up one after another.

After saying this, everyone fell silent again.

In general, the strength of their Yi Xin Society cannot compare to that of the other side.

Seeing that his side was weak, Quan Douguang laughed loudly, sweeping away the fear in the air, and shouted: "Shiba, are you scared? Even if Zheng Shenghe is so powerful, what can we do? We have air force support! Oh, and we have armored forces. We can gain the upper hand in the shortest time and blockade the entire Seoul!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Quan Douguang in amazement, thinking he was crazy.

They actually had to rely on these people to duel with the invincible Zheng Shenghe, and blockade Seoul!

"Why, are you really scared?" Quan Douguang looked at everyone with disdain, "Don't forget, you and I are all from humble backgrounds. We have been looked down upon by those high-ranking guys since we joined the army! If we don't resist this time, they will sweep us into the dunghill like garbage! We will be infamous for thousands of years and will never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

Quan Douguan's words aroused everyone's fighting spirit.

Quan Douguang saw that everyone's eyes began to light up, so he continued his speech and slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Hey, look at you guys! How can you succeed if you are so timid? Don't forget, although we are much weaker than Zheng Shenghe, we still have a trump card that we haven't used. If we take it out, it will definitely be a killer card!"

When Lu Taiyu and others heard this, they suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Quan Douguang in astonishment.

Quan Douguang laughed: "Don't look at me like that, you guessed it right! It is the 2 billion US dollars that Mr. Du gave us! As long as we use this money to bribe the leaders of the major troops in Seoul, who else can be our opponent? Don't forget that everything in this world has a price, including a coup!"

There was a sigh of relief at the scene.

Lu Taiyu, a good friend of Quan Douguang, said, "Be careful! The 2 billion US dollars from Mr. Du is not so easy to get! If I remember correctly, he said that the 2 billion must be exchanged for an equal value!"

"Yes, I remember him saying this too. After all, this is not a small amount!"

Others echoed.

Quan Douguang got angry when he heard this, and cursed with his hands on his hips: "Shit, you guys are really hopeless. It's just 2 billion. Can we pay him back after we seize power?"

"No, even though Du Yongxiao is young and promising, he is Chinese after all. How can the Chinese really help us?" Lu Taiyu reminded Quan Douguan again.

Quan Douguang became impatient and waved his hands, saying, "I know what you are talking about. In fact, I know exactly what that Du wants, and you know it too. He just wants to control the economy of the Republic of Korea on behalf of the Americans, right? If he wants it, give it to him! Anyway, no matter who controls our economy, it does not belong to us!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Quan Douguang grabbed the ashtray--
Snapped!
Fall to the ground!

"Listen up, everyone below the rank of colonel. You are good enough to study and go to Seoul National University, right? But your family has no money and no background, so you came to the Army Officer School with free food and accommodation. But there are a lot of old guys standing in front of you who came in without even taking the exam, so you haven't received any stars yet. Don't you feel wronged? Open your eyes and look at me! For the future of the Republic of Korea's military, we have to have a major overhaul!"

Quan Douguang stared at everyone, and finally looked at several military seniors: "Seniors, after this winter, you will also have to take off your military uniforms. Tell General Zheng not to transfer you to civilian work, but to give you another star. Can you do it? You should still remember what President Park once said, that although the night of revolution is short, its glory will continue. You just have to believe that, Quan Douguang, I will not take that glory for myself!"

"Okay, but what if it fails?" an old senior hesitated.

Quan Douguang no longer hesitated: "If we fail, it will be rebellion, if we succeed, it will be revolution!"

sound,

Really impressive!
