Chapter 59: Independence

In April of the same year, a major event occurred in South Korea, that is, the U.S. government and the South Korean government signed a joint declaration on the withdrawal of U.S. troops stationed in South Korea and the return of wartime command.

Actually, this is not an accident. In the midterm elections last November, after the Democratic Party's resounding victory, all kinds of comments were loud about the reversal of US foreign policy, and South Korea, a member of the Southern Triangle and a country that has long been troubled by the presence of US troops, has been hotly discussed, and the prediction of US troop withdrawal has become the loudest voice in public opinion.

At the end of the year, the Democratic Party-run United States really fulfilled its election program and passed a series of foreign military and diplomatic reform plans in Congress, among which, in order to ease the conflict on the Korean Peninsula and strive for a satisfactory settlement of the North Korean nuclear issue, the US Congress issued an order to withdraw US troops stationed in South Korea.

……

This day in April, April 24, is destined to be an extraordinary day for South Korea and its people.

On this day, the news sparked heated discussions across the country.

This historic day was called "a historic day for the Republic of Korea" by the NA newspaper, one of the four major newspapers in South Korea.

On this day, there were only three big red characters on the homepage of the NA newspaper -- "Independence Day!" and then the web version of the NA newspaper today, the paper version...... All relevant reports were about the withdrawal of U.S. troops and the return of wartime command.

NA Agency: "Today, I would like to tell the whole world with honor that the Republic of Korea will be freed from colonial rule and become a free and independent country! Long live the Republic of Korea!"

The signing of the joint declaration marked the beginning of the Japanese colonization of Korea in 1901 and the recapture of wartime command in 1945, although the U.S.-Korea Mutual Defense Treaty remained in force, leaving only one U.S. military advisory group in Korea.

One has to be surprised, when did the NA newspaper become so nationalistic?

It will be just one day to let the NA newspaper with integrity, fairness and objectivity say so!

Not only that, but all major media and newspapers are frantically reporting, and many people are also celebrating with their crowns, and there are many places, including Seoul, where citizens have taken the initiative to launch celebration parades, from Namdaemun to Dongdaemun, from Gangnam to Gangbuk, from Seoul to Goryeo...... There were voices of celebration everywhere, and the main body of the parade was dominated by enthusiastic young people represented by college students.

On this day, at 8 o'clock in prime time, President Lu Wuxuan delivered a national radio speech, and all television stations across the country also broadcast the president's speech.

In his speech, Roh Moo-hyun mentioned the concept of "peaceful reunification," and he fondly recalled the fact that South Korea and North Korea are compatriots of the same mother, and that the North and the South were separated and separated because of fascism and some historical reasons, which was a matter regretted by the entire Korean nation, and announced that he was ready to pay a state visit to Korea.

At the same time, he also called on North Korea to facilitate this and jointly build a Korean Peninsula for Koreans.

This period is called "the Golden Age" by those who aspire to the unification of the North and the South!"

The president's speech was supported by almost the entire population, and if someone continues to survey the current president's approval rating, Roh Moo-hyun's approval rating will definitely exceed that of any previous president.

"President Roh Moo-hyun's name will forever be immortalized in history!"

The next day, the NA newspaper continued to report the same way, unlike the three major newspapers of Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and JoongAng Ilbo, for example, an investigative article in Chosun Ilbo said that people in Gyeonggi Province were worried about the withdrawal of US troops, and some people feared that it would cause panic.

The three major newspapers, Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, and JoongAng Ilbo, account for 70% of the country's newspaper sales with strong financial strength and a long history, and are the leaders in the industry.

According to statistics released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in April 2007, there are 203 daily newspapers, 373 daily magazines, 2,784 weekly magazines, two news agencies (Yonhap News Agency and Nyusis News Agency), and 715 online newspapers. So far, 32.4% of South Korea's national opinion has been formed by television and 34.8% by print media. In other words, these two categories still control the mainstream of the media.

Prior to this, although there was a lot of media in South Korea, there was little diversity, and there was a very distinct Zhengzhi tendency, and it could even be said that there was no neutral zone between conservative and progressive.

It was not until the emergence of NA as an emerging force that it began to create in 1995, with neutrality, objectivity, and impartiality as the main ideas, and gradually became more favored by more people, and gradually showed signs of being as famous as the three major newspapers in terms of word-of-mouth and sales, especially in recent years, breaking the monopoly of the three major newspapers, and becoming the fourth largest newspaper in sales no less than the three major newspapers, and a household name.

From today, NA will be considered a representative of the democratic forces, and more South Korean citizens have begun to call for subscribing to the news of the NA newspaper.

……

A secret conference room in Building 63.

There are only five people in this large conference room, and the position is in the shape of a five-pointed star, facing the LED display on the wall, and inside is an elegant middle-aged man.

Sitting at the top was Han Ximing, our current mayor of Seoul and who was deeply supported and loved by the citizens, and he smiled slightly: "The qualifications of some companies, after research by relevant departments, are really not competent for the job, so the Blue House United Military has eliminated some of them, and the current government's key recommendation is Wu Baoquan." Of course, you still need to attend the hearing, I wonder if you have already decided on a good candidate?"

"Let Cheng Hao go!" The words of the man on the screen came out of the speakers on both sides.

The Sung Ho in this man's mouth is Shin Sung Ho, the current president and president of S.M, who has just returned from the United States.

Hearing that the man opposite arranged for him and Kim Youzhen to attend the hearing, Shin Sung-ho's heart beat rapidly, and his head was running rapidly, as some US troops began to gradually withdraw from the peninsula at the beginning of this month, the security issue of the Korean ** incident also surfaced. The company has worked hard for several years, and the A.L Group has invested tens of millions of dollars in the network of relationships woven by the military, and at the end of the year, it began to make efforts to win this list.

In fact, the domestic competition of this list is not fierce, the strongest security company in South Korea at present, in addition to Daewoo, which has long been in decline, there is only Samsung Security, but Samsung Security's current main business is in Iraq, and the elite forces in the company have been transferred there, and other small and medium-sized security companies do not have the strength of Wu Security, so to speak, as long as there is a boost force on the government, it is no surprise that Wu An won the list.

The news that began at the end of the year on the US military stationed in South Korea was no longer uncommon news, and the newspaper he saw this morning that the order issued by the US Congress to dismantle the US military bases in South Korea was initially implemented, and the first batch of eight bases began to prepare for evacuation.

With this understanding, and then contacting the "military security list", "company", and "Kim Youzhen" revealed by the man and Han Ximing just now, if you can't think of what the so-called hearing is, Shin Sung-ho will live in vain all these years.

This idea is further extended, the US military currently has more than 70 military bases in South Korea (including combat support facilities and shooting ranges, etc.), involving as many as 30,000 military personnel, and according to reports, this evacuation order is not only the withdrawal of personnel, but also includes the adjustment of the inter-Korean buffer zone, preparing to relocate the nine main battle bases located on the 38th parallel to the hinterland of South Korea.

The evacuation, relocation, and construction of such a project will take a long time, and the large number of people involved will make the security task extremely heavy, and the South Korean government will probably have to invest hundreds of billions of won in this project to ensure that the situation is stable.

Even if some bases in South Korea have already signed security agreements and will cooperate in security work, with the strength of military security in the past few years, if they can win this list, I am afraid it will be enough to eat a budget of 2-300 million US dollars!

The moment this number appeared, Shen Chenghao's breathing was heavy!

What is the most difficult problem facing AWM now? Not all aspects need money, AWM music development needs money, AWM entertainment development needs money, AWM network shelves have also been erected, AWM network general manager Chen Xiaozhang has gone to the United States Facebook last month for a four-month study, and when he comes back, it will also cost money, not to mention, the G-market acquisition, Interpolate has been relieved. It may not be long before the two parties reach an intention to initiate a takeover offer...... There is also the upcoming Digital Music Alliance conference led by AWM, which is all about to cost money......

The financial pressure is really a big trouble for them who have just accepted the administrative work of AWM, and if it were not for the recent pressure, he would not have faced Kim Jong-myung to force the palace. Strong opposition to AWM Music's next expansion plan - there are a lot of places to spend money.

But now he sees the light!

$2 to $300 million, as long as it is won, many problems will no longer be a problem...... What's more, Yiqiē has been prepared from beginning to end, and there is only one formal hearing, and the boss has designated him as the person to attend the hearing, as long as he does not do anything too outrageous, then ......

…… What a big credit!

Shen Chenghao took a deep breath, with such a credit, many of the troubles he faced in the past period of time were naturally solved!

Thinking like this, he looked at his boss with a somewhat complicated gaze, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Looking at the four people present, they have all become leaders in their respective industries, and he, Taoguang has been obscure for so many years, and he is only the chairman of an entertainment company, although this entertainment company is one of the largest entertainment companies in South Korea...... But it's still not the same, and now it's finally time for the opportunity!

Thinking of this, Shen Chenghao, who has reached middle age, couldn't help but be a little excited, and the old man can also talk about juvenile madness!
