Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 658 Judgment
Different situations, different moods.

When the Tianxia Group and those standing on its side were feeling insecure, the Kinmen Group, on the contrary, began to engage in vigorous cooperation with the relevant departments of the peninsula government. Naturally, the moods of the people on both sides were completely opposite.

Jin Jianying is still in a coma, but the doctor said that Jin Jianying has now passed the observation time and anyone who wants to visit him can enter.

Tianxia Group kept this a secret, saying only that Jin Jianying had woken up but was still in the recovery period and was not convenient for her to appear in public.

They are using this to calm people's hearts.

Some people in Tianxia Group are anxiously expecting that Jin Jianying will be able to revive the business after his recovery, while some others are disappointed and feel that Jin Jianying was born at the wrong time.

Jin Yongjun, who was still being interrogated in the Procuratorate, was unable to learn the real news due to various restrictions and targeting. He just thought that Jin Jianying had really woken up, and was ecstatic thinking that Jin Jianying would definitely rescue him.

Instead, the second son, Kim Sung-jun, began to have other thoughts. He also knew that this was the best opportunity, and he had to put himself in the right position to get what he wanted.

For this purpose, he specially contacted Li You, using the name of "speaking for peace" in order to borrow the power of Li You.

It’s just that Li You was busy these days and refused his request for a meeting.

On the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula, in Goheung County, South Jeolla Province, Lee Woo stared at the white transmission tower standing in the distance through the bulletproof car window.

The director of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics came running over to greet him. "President Li, welcome to the Luolao Aerospace Center!"

Li You took off his sunglasses and threw them to Quan Jae-jun who was standing beside him. He squinted at the gray and white painted Luo Lao rocket.

"When will it be launched?"

"Seventeen, President."

The director enthusiastically led the way for Li You, "Shall I take you to the launch center first?"

"of course."

Li You naturally did not come here just to play this time, but was invited to see the first carrier rocket on the Korean Peninsula that was to be launched by the Narao Space Center.

Construction of the Naro Space Center began at the end of the millennium, with a total cost of 310 billion won, or about 250 million US dollars.

However, it had been used several times before it was completed last year. The rockets launched were all liquid sounding rockets with lower launch difficulty. They were not like the Luo Lao rocket to be launched today, which is a carrier rocket carrying a satellite.

"You have done a good job here," Li You was quite satisfied with it. After all, the aerospace center was built with the help of Russia and it did have various facilities with extremely high technological levels in the world today.

Mission control center, launch and flight safety control facilities, launch pads, meteorological observatories
“It’s not much worse than the Space Center in Houston.”

Hearing Li You's praise, the director's face was full of smiles, and he was obviously a little pleased with himself.

In fact, Li You had something else to say. No matter how advanced the technology used in the base was, it was still necessary to fully research the rockets that could be fired into space.

"At the inauguration ceremony of the space center last year, President Choi expressed his hope that the Korean Peninsula would become one of the countries capable of completing top-level space projects within the next decade."

"Now it seems that there is really great hope," Li You praised this place a lot, but he didn't think they could succeed.

If this thing makes you successful, the world line will change, not to mention the money that Li You has invested in the United States in recent years in Blue Origin, SpaceX, and Dome, all for the purpose of dominating the aerospace industry on the Korean Peninsula. It is no problem to build two or three such aerospace centers with that money.

Of course, he had no intention of belittling the Naro missile. After all, Li You had learned from Emperor Choi Chang that the research plan for the Naro missile was launched in 2002, and formal development began in 2004. By the time it appeared at the Naro Space Center, it had cost a total of 500 billion won.

You have to know that they experienced a financial crisis in the middle, which shows that the government of the peninsula still attaches great importance to aerospace.

But Li You doesn't want them to succeed. He needs to tie the aerospace industry here to himself.

"Thank you for your kind words!" The director grinned and said, "This way, please."

They visited the satellite testing center, flight simulation equipment center, and the equipment needed for rocket testing.

It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon, when a researcher hurried over to report the situation to the director, that his expression suddenly changed.

After being stunned for a long time, the director turned to Li You and said with great embarrassment, "Um... President Li..."

In fact, Li You's inhuman hearing had already heard clearly what the researchers reported to him, but he remained calm and waited for him to speak.

In the director's opinion, it was Li You who was looking at him expressionlessly.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally said with embarrassment: "There are some technical problems with the Luo Lao, so we have to temporarily stop launching."

"I'm so sorry, President Li."

"Technical problem?" Li You raised his eyebrows. "What technical problem?"

The director sighed, "There was a technical problem with the automatic launch system before the test launch, so the launch was stopped. We must conduct a legal investigation on the cause of the problem and then decide on the launch again."

To be honest, the director was also very frustrated.

This accident is equivalent to standing Li You up, which is of course a bad thing.

"Then Director Jin, do you mind if I take a closer look at the Luo Laohao?"

"Of course," the director agreed quickly and extended his hand, "Please follow me."

When they arrived, the pressure relief valve under the launch pad was spewing out white mist of liquid oxygen.

"This is the process of stopping the rocket launch," the director explained: "Drain the fuel and oxidizer in the booster, and then"

"Vertical reset procedure initiated." An electronic voice came from the radio, and the director did not continue.

The whole process took quite a long time. After the tour, Li You took everyone away and said that he would come to visit again during the next launch.

When Li You returned to the manor, it was already late.

When he learned that there was a guest, Li You went to the reception room without any surprise. The man waiting in the reception room stood up timidly and bowed to Li You, "President, you are back."

Seeing how he was very timid and respectful in his greeting, Li You did not embarrass him, "How is the thing Minister Cheng asked you to check?"

"President, everything has been found out..." Cheng Yuanzhe, the former marketing director of JY Defense, quickly grabbed a brown paper file bag from his briefcase.

He did not dare to hesitate and handed the file bag to Li You with both hands, "Inside is the evidence that General Liu Zhexiu and Representative Sun Junjiu colluded with each other many years ago to murder the previous JY Defense Representative Gao Zhixun."

"How did you find out?"

"I know an investigator in the 4th Division's Legal Department. He searched for various evidences for the previous military prosecutor. These evidences were discovered by him at the time, but they were covered up under the orders of the military prosecutor."

"Why wasn't it destroyed?" Li You flipped it open casually, and the content inside was indeed highly credible.

"." Cheng Yuanzhe hesitated for a moment, then said: "Because this investigator is also someone who needs money."

"You did a good job," Li You casually put the file bag back on the table, "Go back to Kinmen Defense and continue to be the director of the marketing department."

"If you pay attention to recent events, you should know," Li You leaned back on the table and looked at him calmly, "Congress has implemented a bill restricting foreign investment in military enterprises. Kinmen Defense can no longer get technical support from Dome Company and can only do the military business it used to do." "Do you have any other ideas for reinstating you?"

"No, no," Cheng Yuanzhe shook his head repeatedly, "It is my honor to work for the president."

After JY Defense was transformed into Kinmen Defense, many of the former JY Defense's old cadres and employees were fired. Those who stayed were able to maintain their original salaries but only had their ranks reduced because of the good treatment offered by Kinmen Group. However, people like him who were reinstated did not have their positions changed and their salaries increased, making extra money for nothing.

After Cheng Yuanzhe left with gratitude, Yang Dongzhe, deputy chief prosecutor of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, called and reported to Li You on the trial of Kim Yong-jun.

As one of the two prosecutors that Li You supported the earliest, Yang Dongzhe was not as valued as Park Tae-soo, but he was also trying his best to climb up. "Chairman, we are ready."

"You're going to sue tomorrow?"

"Yes," Yang Dongzhe sneered, "I will follow your instructions and Jin Yongjun will be sentenced tomorrow."

"Sentence?"

"Jo Tae-seop did some manipulations in the court, but the judge didn't dare to do it too obviously," Yang Dong-chul quietly complained, "At most, the sentence will be reduced, and it will not be sentenced according to the maximum sentence for rape."

He added: “But I’ll do my best and I’ll keep him in jail for at least five years.”

"Very good," Li You laughed, "Deputy Minister Yang is going to succeed President Choi and become the new generation of chaebol fighter."

Yang Dongzhe even stopped breathing. Before entering politics, Choi Changdi earned the title of "chaebol fighter prosecutor" by taking action against his in-laws, the Sunyang Group. After gaining the trust of the people, he entered politics and became the mayor of Seoul.

He swallowed and said, "I dare not compare myself with President Cui. President Cui is too kind."

Li You didn't care about his attitude, he just laughed and encouraged him.

"Deputy Minister Yang, please don't underestimate yourself. You must work with greater confidence."

"Yes, President!"

After hanging up the phone, Li You's expression didn't change at all.

The cold lights in the courtroom cast a bluish-white shadow on the defendant's seat. At this time, the public prosecutor Yang Dongzhe and Jin Yongjun's lawyer had already finished their verbal battles and were just waiting for the judge to announce the verdict.

Jin Yongjun was staring at the metal railings of the dock in disbelief, his neck tense.

He didn't expect that no one would save him, and he even ended up in court, about to receive a long sentence.

"After investigation," the judge said slowly, "the defendant Jin Yongjun..."

Jin Yongjun didn't want to listen to that long list, nor did he dare to listen to it.

"The chain of evidence is complete and the facts are clear," the judge said with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, but compared to Cho Tae-seop's plea, he still needs to pay more attention to the thoughts of the current commander-in-chief Choi Chang-di and Kinmen Group Chairman Lee You.

"The defendant, Kim Young-jun, was sentenced to six years in prison, five years of wearing an electronic anklet, and 56 million won in compensation."

"If you are dissatisfied with this judgment, you may appeal within 30 days."

The commotion that broke out in the gallery was suppressed by the bailiffs' shouting.

Jin Yongjun stared at the judge blankly, then looked at Yang Dongzhe who was wearing a robe not far away.

Before being taken away, he suddenly twitched like a spasm, then started cursing, and the metal shackles kept making noises as he hit them.

This was considered a criminal storming the court, and the two bailiffs present clamped his arms and dragged him away.

The sound of footsteps dragging Jin Yongjun away was still echoing in the courtroom. Yang Dongzhe breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the "victim" Cheng Yingmei in the audience.

The two looked at each other and walked out of the courtroom through different doors.

When Yang Dongzhe returned to the court, changed his clothes, and walked down the steps of the court, an avalanche of flash lights immediately exploded at the bottom of the steps, and the black jungle of microphones almost poked his chin.

Even though Yang Dongzhe was very tired after a long trial, he still stopped because he really liked this feeling.

He did not raise his hand to block the flash, but just listened carefully to the reporters' questions.

"Regarding the six-year sentence for Kim Young-jun, heir of the Tianxia Group, do you think it is too light?" asked the female reporter in the front row, standing on tiptoe.

"Punishment may be delayed," Yang Dongzhe deliberately drank less water today, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, "but I believe justice will never be absent."

"From today on, if Tianxia Group breaks any law, I will bring them to justice!"

Liu Caiyan and Jin Xiya, who were still in the hospital, were watching TV with different expressions.

Liu Caiyan's eyes were full of joy, she felt that she had cleared another obstacle for Jin Xiya, and now the only one left was Jin Shengjun, the more vicious and sinister guy.
Jin Xiya felt sad instead. She was sad because Jin Yongjun not only failed to keep himself clean, but was also caught by someone.

Now that Jin Jianying is seriously ill and unconscious, the entire Tianxia Group is leaderless and is even worse than the Shunyang Group at that time.

When Chen Yangzhe was seriously ill, the Shunyang Group still had Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji, who had grown up. Although they were fighting for power, they still had the ability.

When she was feeling sad, there was a knock on the door.

"What's wrong, Director Park?" Kim Hee-ya looked at the bodyguard assigned to her by Kim Gun-young.

"The doctor just informed me that the president has woken up."

Director Park was still breathing heavily. "I ran over here immediately after receiving the doctor's notice."

"Go over there quickly," Jin Xiya quickly stood up.

Since Kim Jae-young was placed in the intensive care unit, on the floor above the VIP ward of the inpatient department, Kim Hee-ya had to take the elevator up.

In the corridor on this floor, Jin Xiya told Director Park as she walked, "Don't let the news reach Dad's ward. Cut off the TV line and tell him that the TV is being repaired. Don't let him know that his illness..."

As soon as she pushed open the door, Kim Hee-ya saw Kim Sung-jun standing in front of Kim Jae-young's bed.

The line had not been cut off and the TV had not been turned on, but Jin Jianying was holding a mobile phone in his hand.

Seeing Jin Xiya coming in, Jin Jianying threw his phone away weakly.

"When did you come?" Jin Xiya questioned Jin Shengjun, without even calling him second brother.

She naturally knew what Jin Shengjun was doing.

"Just now," Jin Shengjun narrowed his eyes. It was just a coincidence that Jin Jianying woke up at this time.

"I have something to tell Dad."
