Chapter 320: Kim Dae-jung's kidnapping

On this day, Tang Ning was reviewing the accounts of the insurance company in Tokyo, when suddenly Oyama Beida reported: "Boss, the director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Yukiyuki Inoue, came to visit you, as if there was something urgent. ”

Although Tang Ning felt a little curious about why this police director came to him, he still said, "Oh, then let him in." ”

As soon as Inoue Xingyuki came in, Tang Ning found that what Dashan Beida said was right, he was indeed in a hurry, this usually pampered police director was actually sweating profusely and flustered this time, and without waiting to sit down, he said to Tang Ning: "Boss Tangning, you have to help me no matter what you do this time, this time it is really a big incident!" ”

"Director Chuanlu, what is it that makes you so flustered?"

"Mr. Tangning, something really happened this time, Mr. Jin Dazhong was kidnapped!"

Hearing this news, Tang Ning was also taken aback, because this Kim Dae-jung is not an ordinary person, he is a famous politician and activist in South Korea, especially in 1971, Kim Dae-jung won 5.4 million votes in one fell swoop in the presidential election for the first time, and almost pulled down Park Chung-hee, who sought re-election by large-scale fraud. At the time, some commentators said, "If there is a fair election body to supervise and count the votes correctly, Kim Dae-jung will definitely be elected president." It was also from this election that the Park Chung-hee regime was determined to use any means to get rid of Kim Dae-jung. In August of that year, Kim Dae-jung was seriously injured in a car accident elaborate by the Park Chung-hee regime on his way to Gwangju to participate in the election, leaving sequelae of bone and joint infections, causing one foot to limp.

It should be explained here that South Korea was still in the period of military dictatorship during this period, and this was the case when Syngman Rhee, Park Chung-hee, and Chun Doo-hwan were in power, so South Korea at that time was much darker than other Asian countries, and even now, the status and privileges of the Korean chaebol in the country are not comparable to other Asian countries. Maybe those little girls who yearn for a Korean life don't know this, I don't know if they will be so Ha Han when they learn about it!

According to Inoue's description, Kim Dae-jung came to Tokyo this time to meet with two South Korean opposition figures and to build strength in order to launch a pro-democracy movement to overthrow the dictatorship of Park Chung-hee, today. He had just finished meeting guests at the Grand Palace Hotel in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and walked out of his room when he was dragged away.

And the core evidence that confirmed that this was a kidnapping incident was that a Japanese resident living in a nearby room heard Kim Dae-jung shouting: "Help me! These people are murderers! But at the time, they thought it was a gang dispute, so they didn't come out, and they didn't call the police until they found out that something was wrong later.

A national dignitary was kidnapped in his own territory, how could Inoue Yukiyuki, as the director of police, not be anxious, although he knew very well in his heart that the person who did this was the current president of South Korea, Park Chung-hee, but how could he dare to say nonsense without evidence, and even Kim Dae-jung dared to kidnap him. What's more, he is such a small police director, and the top priority now is to rescue Kim Dae-jung as soon as possible, once Kim Dae-jung dies in Tokyo, then no matter who does it, he, the police director, will not be able to get out of it, so he not only ordered all the police officers under him to go out to search, but also personally ran to Tang Ning to ask for help, because he knew that in all the community forces in Tokyo. Only Downing's Matsuda Group is the most efficient, the most disciplined, and the most intelligent.

To be honest, for this kind of thing. Tang Ning is really reluctant to intervene, because once he intervenes in this matter, it is easy to get angry, and this matter should obviously be done by Park Chung-hee's subordinates, but this kind of dictatorial government is so easy to offend. However, because he usually cooperates with Director Inoue very happily, it is inconvenient for him to refuse, so he has to verbally promise to help with all his might. Then in front of him, the task was distributed, but if he really got the news, then whether to tell Inoue or not, then he had to wait until he thought it out.

But in fact, Downing's considerations were superfluous. Because the police soon learned from unknown sources that the location of Kim Dae-jung's trapped was actually on a South Korean freighter in the port, to be honest, this incident made Tang Ning puzzled, and even after thinking about it, he felt that there were too many doubts inside.

First of all, the speed at which the Japanese police learned the news was too fast, which was not in line with their usual efficiency, and how did they know when they didn't even have any clues about their own subordinates? Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to kidnap a big person, especially a dignitary of a country, from a large hotel, and smoothly leave the hotel, pass through the port, and arrive at the freighter, without the cooperation of local officials in Tokyo, and perhaps there are officials from the Japanese security services involved.

What happened next further proved Downing's guess, after the Japanese intelligence agencies learned the specific location of the trap, they did not take the initiative to go to the rescue, but notified the CIA, and then the US military dispatched helicopters to hover over the trapped freighter, warning the South Korean agents to guarantee the safety of Dazhong's life no matter what. At the same time, the US ambassador to South Korea, Donald Gerager, personally visited Park Chung-hee and demanded the release of Kim Dae-jung.

It may be because of the intervention of the Americans that Park Chung-hee had to release Kim Dae-jung 129 hours after he was kidnapped. On August 13, 1973, on a street in Seoul (present-day Seoul), the capital of South Korea, a blindfolded Kim Dae-jung was wheeled into a car and announced that he would not be held accountable as long as he no longer had "anti-state" words and deeds. Although Kim Dae-jung was released, he spent the next three years under semi-house arrest, only sneaking out late at night to meet with others.

According to Kim Dae-jung's later recollection, he was dragged to the next room, put in a bag, taken to an underground parking lot by elevator, and then blindfolded, stuffed with something stuffed in his mouth, and taken by car to the hideout of South Korean CIA agents.

After that, the agents wrapped Kim Dae-jung's face in cloth, tied his hands and feet, and took him to the beach in a minibus. He was then transferred by a motorboat to a spy ship of the CIA in South Korea. During the whole process, he felt that he did not encounter any obstacles and troubles, which made him very incomprehensible, could it be that the energy of these Korean agents had reached this level? Eventually, when he was awake, he found himself tied to a cross-shaped plank, and his kidnappers were debating how to drown him. (To be continued.) )
