Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 652 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
Compared with commercial competition with Daying Ocean, which is related to people's livelihood, Kinmen Group's entry into the military industry has not attracted much attention from ordinary citizens. The most they feel is that Kinmen Group is expanding again.

As the head of Tianxia Aviation, the largest military-industrial enterprise, Kim Gun-young also submitted a plan to the Blue House to restrict foreign investment in military-industrial enterprises.

Based on this plan, Cho Tae-seop proposed a very detailed bill to restrict foreign investment in the Korean Peninsula's military industry, and stated...
In the future, we want to expand this bill. Just like "Body and Land Are One" supports their agricultural and meat products, we hope that the people of the peninsula will support a variety of products from all walks of life on the Korean Peninsula.

The plan also sparked considerable controversy in Congress.

The ruling Grand National Party has been obedient this time, following the lead of President Choi Chang-e, and has not yet made any statement on the plan.

It does not mean that Choi Chang-jo and the Grand National Party remained neutral or stood against Lee Woo, because for the Korean Peninsula, there is nothing wrong with this plan, and it is even a plan that should have been implemented long ago.

Foreign capital holding controlling stakes in military-industrial enterprises should not exist in the first place. Li You's Dome Company was specially registered in the United States for the sake of technological advantages and convenience. A large number of shares belong to American shareholders. Allowing Dome Company to intervene in the military industry should be carefully considered. Choi Changdi's neutrality was actually a support for Li You.

Moreover, it has been proven over the years that over-reliance on foreign technical support will lead to a continuous decline in one's own competitiveness and R&D capabilities.

Instead, conflicts arose among several opposition parties.

Several congressmen who are close to America, and even political parties supported by America, are openly resisting this plan, saying that advanced foreign technology is still needed to develop excellent equipment today.

Another group of lawmakers, led by Cho Tae-seop and Moon Jae-yoon, who were originally hostile, have now joined the same camp to support this plan.

Wen Zaiyin specifically called Li You to explain that this matter had nothing to do with anything between the two of them. Although he did not object to Li You's Dome entering the military industry, he did not want other real foreign capital to enter the defense industry of the Korean Peninsula.

The good thing about Zhao Taixie and Jin Jianying's plan is that what they proposed is reasonable in itself, and they do not need to target Li You to achieve the same effect.

During this period, Zhao Xian's team, which was sent to Paris by Li You, also returned.

For them, destroying a family without having to deal with those escaped mutants is already an easy task.

The holders of two high-table seats did call to inquire, but after learning that this was a "punishment from above", they said no more.

Count Grammont wants to "overthrow" the powerful in the High Table and grab a seat. If he succeeds, he might even pretend to be deaf and dumb because he is a powerful figure in the High Table. If he fails, he will die.

That is, on the day Zhao Xian and his companions returned, the high-ranking members of Congress began to attack each other, and all kinds of means were used against the other side again.

It is not special at all to curse and insult each other in front of the media cameras. It has become a routine operation.

The Grand President Choi Chang-eol also began to be unable to suppress the Grand National Party. As the ruling party, they were also anxious when they saw these opposition party members emerging and trying to gain attention in the National Assembly.

In today's era of increasingly developed media and faster dissemination of information, "being in the spotlight" is not a derogatory term, but rather something that is extremely necessary in the politics of the Korean Peninsula.

Don't think that these "ordinary" members of Congress are unmotivated. Each of these members is a big shot on the Korean Peninsula, and few of them want to just sit back and do nothing.

When opposition lawmakers once again participated in the debate in the National Assembly and continued to express their opinions on the topic of "whether to restrict the influence of foreign capital in the Korean Peninsula's military-industrial enterprises," lawmakers from the Grand National Party, led by Park Geum-sun, joined the verbal battle.

Due to the recent fight between members of the Grand National Party and the opposition party, which made the members of Congress lose face, both sides were much more restrained in the meeting held in the Yeouido National Assembly Building, and even the radical remarks were reduced a lot.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but after several rounds of wrangling, there is no longer any distinction between political parties in Congress. Instead, it has become a big melee between supporters and opponents of the new bill.

At first, the Grand National Party members were only trying to sabotage the parliament with words, and at most they would say a few words to each other openly, but as the tempers of both sides grew, the parliament gradually began to evolve into the situation that should have existed.

Both factions began to introduce the intervention of various forces behind them with anger and various reasons, and completely tore their faces apart.

In order to avoid another fight in the National Assembly building, Emperor Choi Chang even sent a number of police officers to "protect" their personal safety in the National Assembly building to prevent another major incident from happening and bringing shame to the Korean National Assembly.

After this move, not only the media but also ordinary citizens began to pay attention to this matter.

After all, the ones closest to them in this matter are the Seoul police who were sent to serve as security guards. Now that Seoul has dispatched a number of police officers to carry out protection operations, they have realized that this matter is not that simple. It is probably another interesting thing like 'collusion between officials and businessmen' and 'party disputes' that they love to watch.

The various political parties were honest and did not incite their supporters to cause trouble.

The party supporting the bill did not want the matter to get bigger, because they knew that although this bill would be beneficial to the country in the future, the fact that the "foreign-funded" Dome Company registered by Li You in the United States was going to enter the military industry on the Korean Peninsula was the fuse for the proposal of this bill.

Although many congressmen have been secretly or openly boycotting Li You in the political arena, this is merely a political behavior within the rules. It will not be that simple if things get out of hand.

The opposition is reluctant because of their reputation.

Even though many people are pro-American, they know that if the news of opposing "restricting the influence of foreign capital in the military industry" gets out, it will definitely offend many people on the peninsula. After all, the people on the peninsula now have a very bad impression of that place, and are even more resistant to the troops stationed in South Korea.

Who would have thought that while they were arguing, Li You, as if he didn't care whether the bill would be implemented or not, completed Dome Company's technological investment in JY Defense like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and at the same time renamed JY Defense to Kinmen Defense.

Due to the Korean Peninsula's "Commercial Law", "Fair Trade Law" and "Industrial Technology Protection Law".
Dome Company was registered in the United States by Lee You alone. It is not a subsidiary of Kinmen Group. Dome Company is in the strategic industry of national defense and aerospace on the Korean Peninsula, and its shareholding ratio in Kinmen Defense is restricted. If the bill is really implemented, Dome Company will not be qualified to provide technical support to Kinmen Defense.

However, Li You's actions made the congressmen who had been arguing in Congress for many days somewhat confused. Faced with Li You's sudden and decisive action, both the supporters and opponents of the bill didn't know how to proceed.

Supporters felt that Lee Woo had a backup plan, and that even if the bill succeeded, they might not gain anything. The opposition was originally a group of pro-American lawmakers and many Grand National Party lawmakers who stood on Lee Woo's side. They knew that the bill was right, but they had to oppose it because of their stance.

As a result, Li You's action made the opposition feel that Li You might not care whether the bill was implemented or not. Even if it was implemented, it would be useless for the defense of Kinmen. So should they continue to waste time arguing over a useless thing?

Under the influence of many factors, the congressmen did not take any action for a few days. They even stopped arguing. Instead, they retreated for a short time and watched what Li You was going to do with the defense of Kinmen.

But then, Tianxia Airlines, which belongs to Tianxia Group, was suddenly hit hard. Kim Gun-young's eldest son, Kim Yong-jun, the current representative director of Tianxia Motors, was investigated by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office. The Prosecutors Office believed that Kim Yong-jun had extremely serious suspicions of concealing income and falsifying accounts in Tianxia Motors, and took Kim Yong-jun away directly from the representative office in Tianxia Motors. This was of course Lee Woo's revenge. After so many years, who doesn't know that the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office in Gangnam is Lee Woo's back garden, not to mention that the current Chief Prosecutor Cho Chang-sik is on Lee Woo's side.

Jin Jianying didn't say a word and swallowed it all.

This is a very normal exchange. Kim Gun-young proposed a plan for the defense of Kinmen, and the plan was used as a sample by Cho Tae-seop to actually propose a bill in Congress. It is normal to be retaliated against.

Jin Jianying had been prepared for this, and when she decided to do this that day, she also went out of her way to comfort Jin Yongjun.

How could such unprecedented encouragement and support have no source?
The source of this is of course the guilt towards Kim Young-jun.

After Kim Young-jun was taken away by prosecutors from the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, he was not treated harshly in the prosecutor's office. Instead, he was provided with food, fruits and tea, and his treatment could not be better. The only thing was that he could not sleep well or take a shower, and he had to stay in the investigation room for a long time.

Kim Gun-young knew that if the matters in the National Assembly did not come to any conclusion, Kim Yong-jun would stay there forever.

Jin Jianying did not ask anyone in the prosecutorial system for help, but rationally arranged a lawyer to help Jin Yongjun deal with the investigation according to normal procedures.

Different from this is Kim Gun-young's second son, Kim Sung-jun, who, as the representative director of World Energy, was also investigated by the Procuratorate.

Both sons were taken away, and the Tianxia Group was naturally in a state of panic. However, Jin Shengjun was released after only a dozen hours.
This starts to raise questions.

“The chairman did not help Representative Sung Joon,” the secretary explained to Kim Young Joon at the Nambu District Prosecutor’s Office.

"Then why was he released?" Jin Yongjun was not stupid, but it was hard to explain such things. "It was also revenge!"

"Someone wants to alienate you from the president and Representative Shengjun," the secretary glanced at the camera and said without hesitation, "Please hold on a little longer."

"How long will it take to end this?" Jin Yongjun was very dissatisfied. "Does it mean that if the Congress can't come up with a conclusion, I have to stay here forever?"

"If the bill is implemented, how long will I be in prison?"

The secretary sighed inwardly, Chairman Jin is not helping you out now only because the bill is to appease Li You’s anger.

This is a very equal exchange, and he will be released naturally after a while.

The secretary left after repeated explanations, but Jin Yongjun still had a grim face.

He was locked in the investigation room, unable to go out or have any entertainment. He couldn't pick his fingernails for fun, so he began to brainstorm frantically.

After studying the secretary's words for a long time, Jin Yongjun's brain found someone who could divert his anger.

Why did Jin Xiya propose the plan, but instead let the two brothers bear Li You's anger for her?

This childish and stupid but common-sense idea that hits the brain directly began to occupy all of Jin Yongjun's thoughts.

"Chairman Li's actions always catch me by surprise," Choi Changdi had recently participated in various conferences and political activities around the world. He finally had some free time and peace for the next period of time, but then this happened again. "But is it really okay to let the bill go ahead?"

"To be honest," Li You smiled casually, "Dome Company will definitely suffer after the bill is implemented."

"Chairman Li just asked me to support the implementation of the bill tomorrow?" Emperor Cui Chang was a little puzzled. He was curiously waiting for Li You to explain it to him.

"Isn't the current bill to restrict foreign investment in the military industry?" Li You has actually made plans. "Dome Company can enter the Korean Peninsula by starting with other industries. Can't Dome Company directly enter the Korean Peninsula as an aerospace company?"

"Tianxia Aviation has been developing for so long, and it is not just about aviation," Li You said frankly, "Didn't it also start with aviation, and then slowly began to get involved in military industry?"

"Start with the aerospace industry first." Choi Changdi could understand Lee Woo's idea. It was nothing more than a feint to the east and attack in the west. He would make a big fuss in the military industry but turn around and start with the aerospace industry, allowing the "foreign company" Dome Corporation, which holds a large amount of aerospace technology, to enter the Korean Peninsula naturally, and then slowly enter the military industry.

"But this must produce results within the next two years," Choi Changdi explained. "The current bill is only the first version. After it is implemented, it will definitely be expanded in the future to protect all walks of life on the Korean Peninsula. Only if Dome Company successfully achieves major goals within these two years can it shut up many people."

"Why not?" Li You said with a smile: "There is something I forgot to tell President Cui."

“Dome already has the technology to actually launch satellites into space.”

“Is there any progress with Blue Origin and SpaceX?”

Emperor Cui Chang knew very well where the dome company's technology came from.

Of course, we also have our own research and development, but the truly important technologies still come from these two companies.

I have to admire Li You's vision. He has invested so much money in these two companies every year since the low period, just to exchange for the good technology we have now.

The Korean Peninsula has been working hard on its own research and development for so long, but it still cannot send a real satellite into space on its own.

Currently, all the satellites on the Korean Peninsula in space are launched into space with the help of rockets from other countries.

If Dome Corporation can really bring the corresponding technology.
Cui Changdi nodded heavily, "As long as Chairman Li can achieve this, I believe he can shut them all up."
