The turbulent election year was about to pass, and they were only waiting for the final opening.
In fact, countless battles had already been fought on the battlefield that ordinary people could not see. The people did not know how much blood had already flowed behind their backs.
Judging from the current polls, Kim Jong Un's support rate was the highest. His biggest opponent, Moon Jae Yin and Kim Chul Soo, seemed to be unable to make any waves. Ren Taixi had long been silent and no one knew where he was hiding.
In other words, if there were no special accidents, Kim Jong Un's presidency was already set in stone. They only needed to wait for the dust to settle in February.
At that time, her faction's support would naturally rise. They had even begun to fight among themselves for the power of the new parliament that would be built around Kim Jong Un in the future.
Especially Kim Wuxing.
No matter how cautious and vigilant he was, in the eyes of many people, Tang Jinyan had always been a powerful ally that Kim Wuxing had pushed up. He had won face for him in many fields.
Originally, they intended to let Jin Wuxing lead the Financial and Economic Committee and the Special Committee on Budget and Final Accounts in the future. Now that the Jeju Island project had a beautiful performance, it seemed that he could also fight to lead the Transportation and Construction Committee. If he really succeeded, it would not be an exaggeration to say that in the future, he would be the next leader of the New World Party.
Under such circumstances, Kim Wuxing's attitude toward Tang Jinyan was friendlier than before. He spoke more clearly than before. He really wanted to form a solid alliance with Tang Jinyan.
"The unification of the underground forces will lead to the expansion of the underworld forces that have been suppressed for a long time. This does not meet the needs of any ruling party. The chaebol will also have a lot of opinions, so no one will definitely support you."
In the office, Jin Wuxing personally made tea for the visiting Tang Jinyan. He spoke very clearly, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Jinyan nodded and humbly asked for advice. "But I always feel that Park Dangkui's words have a hint of support."
Kim Wuxing smiled and said, "You grew up in the underworld. You should know about the history of the Korean underworld, right?"
"Hmm …" Tang Jinyan nodded and muttered.
After being in the underworld for so many years, it was impossible for him not to know the history of the rise and fall of the underworld.
In the 1930s, the traditional mafia in Seoul was torn apart, and the underground forces were entrenched by the Japanese mafia.
At that time, the legendary Kim Douhan appeared out of nowhere and unified the Korean mafia, forming a standoff between Japan and Korea. Moreover, he repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the Japanese. To a certain extent, this guy could be considered a hero of resistance against the Japanese.
At the same time, he was also a far-right anti-G person. He was committed to supporting Lee Seung Wan's Korean independence movement. In the early days of Korea's independence, when the security forces were weak, Kim Do Han was responsible for the security of Seoul. After that, he laid the foundation for his political career. He served two terms as a member of parliament in Lee Seung Wan's government. Lee Yeong Jae, who inherited Kim Do Han's mafia power, became a butcher knife for Lee Seung Wan to eliminate opposition forces.
The current Pusan Seven Stars was the legacy of Lee Seung Wan's forceful actions in Pusan. He used violent organizations to force through the "constitutional amendment".
Lee Seung Wan's dictatorship was hated by the democracy fighters. In the April 19 coup, Lee Seung Wan went into exile in the United States. At the same time, the Korean mafia also suffered a heavy blow and was torn apart. The "Pan-Western Faction" secretly supported by the Americans became the largest underground force in Seoul, but it was no longer as rampant as before.
After various coups and movements, the Korean mafia gradually became a dying force, and the power of the Chaebol rose day by day.
It was worth mentioning that the third president, Park Jung Hee, worked hard to promote the "New Village Movement" after he came to power. Today, the Farmers' Association, which had a great influence on the Korean political and business circles, was born at that time. At the same time, there was also the New Village Movement … President Park Jung Hee was the father of Kim Jong Un.
"The coexistence of black and white in Korea has a historical origin. Kim Do Han's daughter is still in politics. She even visited Kim Taecun when he was hospitalized.
Which mafia, big or small, doesn't have political support behind them?
This is the root of the legalization of the underworld. "
Kim Wuxing smiled. "Old Master Guifang has always had some ties with the Park family. Otherwise, why do you think I'd seek out Old Master Guifang for cooperation?"
Tang Jinyan muttered, "Korean politics is used to using the mafia, but at the same time, it's taboo for the mafia to develop into a state where it's difficult to control them."
"That's right. Therefore, the so-called unification of the underworld doesn't depend on your methods, but the root of it."
Kim Wuxing sipped his tea leisurely and smiled. "To be honest, who wouldn't want the butcher's knife in their hand to be sharper?
There are too many constraints, and they can't do it. "
"No wonder …" Tang Jinyan recalled the various hints that Kim Jong Un had given him, and finally grasped the pulse of the situation.
Especially when he had deliberately mentioned his orphan status … Kim Jong Un probably preferred to use a butcher's knife like him because it wouldn't hurt his hand easily.
It would be hilarious to think that such a politician would sympathize with the pain of losing both his parents.
"From another perspective, it's also impossible for those people to expel you through political power."
Kim Wuxing smiled. "Unless you're weak and get screwed over in the underworld, then we can only say that we've misjudged you."
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "If that's the case, I won't have the face to meet Park Dangkui."
"Haha … You've always been very reassuring. Those people are so afraid of you that they're almost begging for a truce card."
At the mention of the truce card, Tang Jinyan immediately went out of character, and his mind turned elsewhere. After a while, he smiled and said, "After listening to Minister Kim's words, Tang has a lot more confidence in himself."
Kim Wuxing waved his hand. "There's no need to say much about the current situation. Your top priority is still Jeju Island. Don't worry too much about other things.
The Tang Dynasty Cultural Park is one of the biggest manifestations of our faction's political views. Park Dangkui doesn't say it, but in fact, he values it very much.
Once this is done well, you and I will have a lot of weight.
As for Incheon, just let it go. I believe you know what to do. "
Tang Jinyan nodded. Kim Wuxing's attitude towards him was very good, and this was also the key point.
Of course, the development of Tang Dynasty was also in his own interests. No matter how he looked at it, there was no reason not to do it well.
He thought of something else and asked, "What about the Vietnamese?
That's different from the Korean mafia, isn't it? "
"The Vietnamese have angered the prosecutor general this time, and at the same time, they've also made the police department nervous. They've offended them badly. No matter who's behind them, I'm afraid they'll be uprooted this time.
Maybe even the military will be mobilized. "
Tang Jinyan muttered to himself, "That's interesting …"
At least 80% of the drugs in Korea came from the Vietnamese. They could be considered to be one of the lifelines of the Korean mafia. This was also one of the reasons why they couldn't be purged.
Once they were purged, he, who had the Yamaguchi-gumi's channel, might have a lot to do … Therefore, there were some things he could let go of in Incheon, and some things he couldn't.
"As for the prosecutor general in Incheon, he should be your most trusted aide, right?
This is a blessing in disguise for him. He will be transferred to Seoul's Deputy Minister soon. "
Kim Wuxing smiled, "Tang Jinyan had helped us a lot, and he should be satisfied with this small request. It will be more convenient for him to have someone in the Seoul prosecutor general's office.
In my opinion, after we settle this matter next year, the party leader might let him be the prosecutor general of the Seoul prosecutor general's office. "
Tang Jinyan was stunned and asked with a strange look, "Did he hear this?"
"Of course. There's a secret in politics that you might not understand." Kim Wuxing said, "When you help someone, you must let that person know that it's you who did it."
Tang Jinyan pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He was thinking about what Mr. Lee would think if he heard this … He had spent a lot of effort and asked so many people to help him, but in the end, he couldn't even compare to a "small request". He had even pinned all his hopes on him …
