Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1107 1093 [Victory over Ghosts and Gods]

"What did you say? People's money? How dare you!" Choi Kyu-ha was furious and glared at Jeon Doo-gwang.

The four officials looked at each other and all took a step back.

Quan Duguang laughed, stood up with a big cigar in his mouth, looked at Choi Kyu-ha and said, "Prime Minister, please don't be so angry! Although I said it was the people's money, I didn't say it was you, right?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that now in our Blue House, no, to be precise, in the political circles and military circles of the Republic of Korea, there are many lawless elements who disregard the law and like to exploit the people!" Quan Douguan said slowly.

"So I'm talking about those people. If you, Prime Minister, insist on identifying them, I can't do anything about it!" He spread his hands, looking helpless.

"You——" Choi Kyu-ha was choked and unable to speak.

He was born into a scholar family, how could he compare to a bachelor like Quan Guangdou? He couldn't even win in terms of talking.

"Tell me, Jeon Kwang-doo, why are you here today?" Choi Kyu-ha was too lazy to argue with Jeon Kwang-doo anymore and asked straight to the point.

Quan Guangdou laughed.

"Oh, my Lord Prime Minister! You know, since the death of the Grand Commander, our military has been in chaos, with many villains in power. Loyal and upright people like us have been excluded. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Choi Kyu-ha pointed at Jeon Kwang-doo and said, "What do you mean by that? Stop flattering yourself. Everyone knows that you are the most chaotic troublemaker in the entire military!"

"Hey, Prime Minister, how can you say that? You look down on me too much. How can I be the troublemaker? I am just trying to set things right!" Jeon Kwang-doo said carelessly, "If you don't believe me, go ask other people. Am I, Jeon Kwang-doo, devoted to my country and dedicated to serving the Blue House and the people of the Republic of Korea? Unlike some people, who judge others by their own standards!"

Seeing Choi Kyu-ha's expression change, Jeon Kwang-doo said hurriedly: "Of course, I dare not say that to you, Prime Minister! I am talking about other people!"

"Who?"

"Jung Seng Hyuk, Chief Steward Jung!" Jeon Gwang-doo said word by word, his eyes grim as he stared at Choi Kyu-ha. "As far as I know, after a thorough investigation, our intelligence system has finally found the mastermind behind the assassination of Kim Jae-gyu. He is Jung Seng Hyuk!"

Snapped!
The plates on the dining table hit the ground and broke into pieces!
"How is this possible?" Choi Kyu-ha was shocked.

As a puppet commander-in-chief, he had never imagined that one day his two major political enemies, Quan Guangdou and Zheng Shenghe, would fight each other fiercely, but when such a scene really happened, he was still shocked.

There is no other reason,

If the two of them start fighting, it might turn into a protracted civil war!

If the situation gets any worse, the country will be directly divided!
Choi Kyu-ha has always been a great admirer of Confucianism and has always valued family, country and the world.

Maintaining the integrity of the country is his unshirkable responsibility. That is why Choi Kyu-ha, as a puppet, is submissive to Jung Seng-hyuk and Jeon Kwang-doo because he is afraid of such a situation.

But now——
This situation still occurs.

Choi Kyu-ha was shocked. He was over fifty years old and never expected to encounter such a situation.

What's more, there are four senior officials from the Blue House sitting in the private room, and their expressions are as shocked as his.

However, in front of his subordinates, Choi Kyu-ha, the acting president of the Republic of Korea, had to act calm and composed, coughing softly, "Is there some misunderstanding here? Although Chief Steward Zheng Shenghe is a bit arrogant, isn't it a bit exaggerated to say that he teamed up with Kim Jae-gyu to assassinate the commander-in-chief?"

Jeon Kwang-doo laughed, walked around the dining table, came to Choi Kyu-ha, and casually pulled over a high chair and sat next to Choi Kyu-ha. On the other hand, the four officials and others stood in front of the table, looking a little at a loss.

As soon as Quan Guangdou sat down, he poured himself a glass of red wine and sipped it slowly.

Everyone looked at him.

Seeing the four Blue House officials at a loss, Jeon Kwang-doo chuckled and turned to Choi Kyu-ha and said, "Don't be surprised, my respected Prime Minister!"

Quan Douguang put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Since I dare to say this, then I must have evidence! Come on, bring out the evidence!"

A soldier stood up from behind him, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Quan Douguang.

Quan Douguang took it and threw it in front of Choi Kyuha: "Take a look first!"

Choi Kyu-ha snorted coldly and picked up the document to look through it.

The four officials also stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to peek.

Who is Choi Kyu-ha?

Although he is not good at playing political games, he is a first-rate person in handling documents.

A closer look reveals that the authenticity of this evidence is questionable.

Snapped!
Choi Kyu-ha threw the information in his hand back to Jeon Kwang-doo: "Just relying on these, you want to bring down Jung Seng-hyuk?"

Quan Guangdou laughed and was about to speak when the person following him said, "Mr. Prime Minister, these pieces of evidence were carefully selected by our Intelligence Bureau and have been confirmed one by one. Most importantly, our Intelligence Bureau has absolutely not favored anyone, and has absolutely not framed Zheng Da Zongguan!"

Since the people around him took the initiative to speak, Quan Douguan was happy to be free. He gave Choi Kyu-ha a teasing look and continued to hold the wine glass.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" Choi Kyu-ha pointed at the man and cursed.

The man did not retreat, but took a step forward, raised his hands and stamped his feet towards Choi Kyu-ha, and saluted: "Loyalty! I am the director of the Detective Division of the Intelligence Bureau, who is responsible for investigation work. My name is Kim Nam-kyu!"

"Kim Nam-kyu, is it? You're so brave!" Choi Kyu-ha was really angry. It would have been fine if it was Jeon Doo-kwang, after all, he was a well-known troublemaker, and he had the support of the Yi Xin Society behind him, so Choi Kyu-ha had to give him face.

The bastard in front of him is just a dog of the Intelligence Bureau, yet he dares to bark at him. He is the acting president!

"Do you think you are so powerful that you dare to yell in front of me?"

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister!" Kim Kyu-nam ignored him and stomped his feet again, saluting Choi Kyu-ha: "Loyalty! I'm the director of the Detective Division of the Intelligence Bureau, and my name is Kim Nam-gyu!"

Choi Kyu-ha suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he cursed the other party, but the other party just repeated what he had just said. What kind of contempt was this?
"You you you--" Choi Kyu-ha pointed at Kim Kyu-nam, furious.

Seeing this, Quan Douguang exhaled cigar smoke and said to Jin Kuinan, "Don't be unreasonable! You are just the director of the detective department of the intelligence bureau. How can you be qualified to talk to our commander-in-chief? Even though he is only acting temporarily!"

These words made Choi Kyu-ha almost choke.

Seeing Choi Kyu-ha's frustrated look, Jeon Doo-gwang stood up slowly, pointed at the evidence and said, "Look, the evidence is right in front of you. You can believe it or not, but there is one thing you must do - someone, bring out the arrest warrant!"

"Yes!" Kim Kyu-nam stepped forward, took out the arrest warrant and placed it in front of Choi Kyu-ha. Without saying anything, he stood back.

Jeon Kwang-doo crushed the cigar he was holding, then looked up at Choi Kyu-ha and said, "Now, all you need is your signature."

Choi Kyu-ha snorted coldly and took a look at the "arrest warrant". Everything was written in the name of the Blue House, and the person being arrested was of course the chief steward Zheng Shenghe.

Choi Kyu-ha pushed the arrest warrant aside without even glancing at it and said, "I will never sign this!"

Jeon Kwang-doo raised his hand and saluted: "Please sign!" His eyes were fixed on Choi Kyu-ha.

Choi Kyu-ha was unmoved, "I just won't sign, what can you do to me?"

Jeon Kwang-doo took another step forward and pressed, "Please sign!" Choi Kyu-ha was not afraid at all, "How dare you do this alone? Do you really think I will give in?"

Before Choi Kyu-ha could finish her words--
Bang!

The door of the private room was knocked open!

Lu Taiyu and others worked together to meet the military leader who strode in with his head held high.

This scene directly frightened Choi Kyu-ha.

He never expected that Lu Taiyu and the others would suddenly appear here.

Before he could speak, Lu Taiyu and his men stood side by side with Quan Douguang, raised their hands and stamped their feet, saluted Choi Kyuha and said, "Please, Prime Minister, approve the arrest of Chief of the General Staff Zheng Shenghe!"

Choi Kyu-ha jumped up in shock and looked at everyone blankly.

The four senior officials of the Blue House who were having dinner with him were hiding at this moment, fearing that they would get into trouble.

"What are you doing? This is rebellion?" Choi Kyu-ha pointed at Lu Taiyu and others, his fingers trembling.

"No, we are just arresting the bad guys who tried to assassinate the commander-in-chief!" Quan Douguang said righteously, "Even if the other party is the Chief of Staff, so what? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the people!"

Faced with such shameless words, Choi Kyu-ha was so angry that she almost closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Taiyu and others took another step forward, barely approaching Choi Kyuha, staring at him intently and saying, "Please sign, Prime Minister!"

At this moment, they all called Choi Kyu-ha "Prime Minister" instead of Acting President, which shows that they did not take each other seriously at all.

"You, you, you--" Seeing this, Choi Kyu-ha could no longer get hard, and with a plop, he squatted on the chair, his face ashen, and made a final struggle: "The arrest of the Chief of the General Staff requires the approval of the Minister of Defense, and he can only sign!" Using compliance with procedures and procedures to pass the buck has always been a tried and tested method of shirking responsibility. Seeing this, Quan Douguang smiled.

Of course he knew that he would not be able to get Choi Kyu-ha's signature easily. He did this to show off to his accomplices and it was also a strategy to drag them into the water.

"Very good, since you put it that way, then let's wait until we get the approval of the Minister of Defense!"

Quan Douguang knew that since Choi Kyu-ha said this, it was tantamount to acknowledging their action this time, and it all depended on who would win in the end.

……

at the same time--
Quan Duguan sent people to break into the Prime Minister's residence and surround the restaurant where Prime Minister Choi Kyu-ha was dining. This had already alarmed the Army Command, and everyone soon realized that it was Quan Duguan and his gang who were committing rebellion.

Zheng Shenghe informed the duty officer of the Army Headquarters and ordered the arrest of Quan Douguang.

Soldiers are very fast!
The Army Command immediately dispatched a large number of troops to the restaurant and surrounded the entire restaurant.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, Jeon Doo-gwang and his men were surrounded and hunted in the Blue House, but in this life it turned into this Japanese restaurant.

After Quan Douguan discovered this situation, he immediately showed his fearless side. He took advantage of the moment when the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army in the Army Headquarters was hesitant and coordinated his subordinates to risk their lives to rush out of the restaurant.

At this moment, Army Deputy Chief of Staff Min Seung-bae, as the actual highest commander in the military, his indecision became the key to the direction of the coup.

On the one hand, he said that the matter had not been confirmed yet, and it was impossible to arrest the security commander. On the other hand, after Quan Douguang escaped, he hastily announced the highest alert order for the precious dogs in the army.

This operation of first suppressing and then praising became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Hearing the highest alert order frightened Quan Douguan's accomplices, and they all accused Quan Douguan of making them traitors to the country.

At this time, Quan Douguang once again showed his general style. Facing the accusations of the crowd, he said in a resounding voice: "If it fails, it is rebellion, and if it succeeds, it is revolution." He then asked: "Are you going to surrender before the battle even begins?"

He immediately ordered troops to be transferred from the North Korean and South Korean fronts into Seoul.

This was also a risky move. The previous arrests were at best violations of procedure, and there was still room for maneuver, but by the time the troops were deployed, it had become a veritable rebellion.

Quan Douguan was able to take a risk at this time when he was defeated, which showed his fearlessness and courage to break through.

The rebels did not enter the capital smoothly and were soon persuaded to return. Upon hearing the news, Quan Douguang immediately found his brother in the Air Force, put a pistol to his chest, and forced him to either kill himself or intercept the Second Airborne Brigade.

At this time, Quan Douguan was completely acting like a hooligan. He also successfully kidnapped his brothers in the Air Force and mobilized all forces to pull back the retreating Second Airborne Army.

Upon learning that his plan had succeeded, Quan Douguan couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Quan Douguan understood that the biggest reason why his plan could be successful this time was that the 2 billion US dollars funded by Du Yongxiao played a role.

What is the purpose of being a soldier?
In times of war, it is to defend the country.

In peacetime, of course, it is about supporting a family.

What is the number 2 billion?
It was enough for those middle-level and low-level soldiers to shout to him loudly: "Loyalty!"

This is indeed the case -
Almost all those who were instigated by him and those who dared to follow him took his money and received tangible benefits.

Even those bigwigs in the military made a fortune thanks to Quan Douguang. Now if you want them to give it up, in one word: difficult!

So when facing these subordinates, who were bribed by him to rebel, Quan Douguang said proudly: "Humans like to be given orders and like strong people to lead them."

At this time, the commander of the capital garrison did not sit idly by, but persuaded the 8th Airborne Brigade to enter Seoul ahead of time. A coup d'état is a matter of speed, and whoever's army seizes the political core area first will have the upper hand in winning.

Faced with this situation, Quan Douguang was not afraid at all. He insidiously called the Deputy Chief of the Army Staff, asking for peace and demanding that both sides withdraw their troops, and called this a "gentleman's agreement."

This was a famous scene that was later described as "telecom fraud" by commentators. The Army Deputy Chief of Staff, who wanted to be a gentleman, agreed to the withdrawal and once again played the role of the Terminator, completely pushing the balance of victory to the rebels.

The rebel 2nd Airborne Brigade did not retreat, but successfully entered Seoul, occupied the Ministry of National Defense, and arrested the Minister of Defense and the Special Operations Commander.

Faced with such a situation, the commander of the capital guard decided to make one last desperate effort!
Zhang Taiwan, the highest commander of the Guard Command, led the remaining troops and mobilized the field artillery regiment to target the rebel headquarters.

At the critical moment, Quan Douguang remembered what Du Yongxiao once said: "Life and death are only a thin line away. Whoever is ruthless enough will win!"

Thinking of this, Quan Douguan no longer hesitated, stepped forward personally, rushed to the front line and delayed time through confrontation.

At the same time, Quan Douguan followed Du Yongxiao's advice and finally found the cowardly Minister of Defense in a secret place.

The Minister of Defense is afraid of guns and almost does whatever he is told to do.

Then, everything came naturally.

It was not until the rebels moved forward and the Minister of Defense stripped the garrison commander of his military power that the rebels finally won the "revolution".

Facing victory, Quan Douguang spat and said to everyone: "Shiba, Mr. Du is still as good as a god! If he hadn't provided the hiding place of the Minister of Defense, we would be in trouble!"

Hearing this, Lu Taiyu whispered beside him: "So, Mr. Du is really better than ghosts and gods!"
