Chapter 928 Temptation and Threat
Author: Khurav
The bathhouse is a magical place
Apart from the so-called "hot bath" culture in Japan, Lee Kun-hee instinctively realized that something big was about to happen by choosing the bathhouse as the place to discuss the matter!
The age gap between the two is too big. Under normal circumstances, Li Jianxi would never think that a little guy like Carter would choose to take a bath with an old man like him. Since he said this, it means that he will come here this time.
What we discussed must not be leaked to anyone!
There is no place where it is easier to prevent eavesdropping and recording than in a hot spring pool where you need to meet "candidly" and have the cover of running water!
"Who do you think has the greatest chance of being chosen as the successor among Lu Xinyong, Zhang Shidong and Lu Taiyu?"
The sound of rushing water rang in his ears, but Li Jianxi seemed to be unable to hear any sound at this time, and his pupils suddenly widened.
Even if they guessed that they were going to talk about something big, they would end up talking about something that would make them lose their heads.
"I don't know!"
Li Jianxi, who has always been as steady as an old dog, panicked
Even though he had a premonition of the reality of South Korea's political instability, at this time.
Quan still has the ability to take the Li family’s head!
"Don't panic, don't be afraid! I said that day that we are friends in this matter."
He picked up water from the hot spring pool with both hands and poured it on his legs. It seemed like he was taking a bath, but in fact it just further intensified the sound of running water. To be honest, Carter himself felt a little panicked when he talked about this kind of issue.
But I can’t stand it, the interests behind this are too great!
"You don't want to have a knife that could kill you at any time, and we don't want to see a South Korea that could go astray at any time. From these words, you should be able to tell what my current status is.
Are you talking to you?"
"I understand. I understand, but I really don't know! Mr. Kablake, according to my information, the whole family has never designated a successor so far. Moreover, what happened this time can really..."
"Who knows? All I can say is that now is the best time."
He picked up a handful of water again and poured it on his knees. Through the mist, Carter thought of the special meeting on his return trip.
Regarding this meeting, there is no need to say more about the specific content. I will only look at one point.
William Joseph Casey, the director of the CIA, submitted his resignation on January 29, and the next director, William Webster, took over in history on May 26.
As mentioned earlier, under the hard work of the legendary Director Casey, the CIA is now basically the leader of the U.S. intelligence community. Why has the leadership candidate of such a key unit been vacant for so long?!
On the surface, William Webster is now facing pressure from a competitor: Robert Gates. As a person personally nominated by Genzi, Robert Gates is quite competitive from every aspect.
His background at the College of William and Mary makes him naturally a member of the so-called elite in the United States. Even in the "home" of the Yale Skull and Bones Society, his background is not inferior. What's even more difficult is that this person has been in the society from the beginning.
CIA job
It can be said that one must have a background, have experience, and have a resume.
However, think about the old finance minister’s previous gestures of goodwill
Carter had long guessed that this was just an act and a situation deliberately created.
But Carter originally thought that this was because Director Casey was still young! There was still work to be handed over, or in other words, he had to wait for the results of the Iran-Contra incident to be released to see if there was any problem with the old director, or to let the CIA
Sensitive units should avoid the limelight first.
As a result, after that meeting with Webster, all of this was answered!
"The momentum of the opposition parties is already considerable. We cannot let this fire dim again. This time, it is to force the palace! I, the United States, need to see your actions, especially your family."
"As the leader, if you don't move, others will not dare to move."
As soon as these words came out, Li Jianxi could not help but shiver in the warm spring water.
Forced into a concubine, forced into whose concubine, do you need to say that?!
On the one hand, if exposed, he may become angry and "accident" to his whole family at any time; on the other hand, the temptation from the United States, or...isn't this also a threat?!
You can't want the benefits without taking the risks, right?!
If you don’t do something, why should the United States support you?!
"What do you want us to do?!"
After a long while, Li Jianxi held back a sentence:
"I have to hear what you want me to do, so I know if I can do it, right?!"
"Don't worry, it's not as dangerous as you think. After Quan came to power, didn't he forcibly give your Dongyang Broadcasting to KBS? The Central (Korea) Daily Newspaper is still in your hands! The one we need to borrow is this newspaper!"
As one of the three major newspapers in South Korea along with Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, Center Daily, which is still owned by Samsung, not only has a wide audience, but also benefits from its historical reputation for being relatively objective and comprehensive in news reporting.
Its business card is that it is the first newspaper in Korea to launch an educational newspaper.
Center Daily has a very high reputation and spread among Korean intellectuals!
Contact the student who had the accident in January
To engage in this kind of coercion of public opinion, you have to deal with those intellectuals. Only they will yearn for so-called democracy and so-called freedom, and even risk their lives.
"I me."
Li Jianxi can think of the problems here in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he also realized a problem: he might not be able to escape
At this time, they agreed to the request of the United States and provided the Center Daily, a channel to agitate public opinion, for the United States to use. It was convenient for them to stir up voices against Chun Dou-hwan and cooperate with the opposition parties to put pressure on Chun Dou-hwan and force him to abdicate.
Then we are still good friends, the business of the US military base should be done by you, and the US market welcomes you.
If you don't agree at this time.
The United States has nothing to do with whether the new president will take action against Samsung after he takes office.
"What are you afraid of? Mr. Li Jianxi, believe me, if the risk of this matter is very high, do you think I will get involved?"
"Axiba! There is definitely no risk to you. Even if the matter is exposed, you will only be arrested at most. In your situation, does he dare to touch you?! In the end, there is a high probability that he will be locked up for a year and a half.
Once the conditions are negotiated in the United States, you will go back! But what about me?! Where is our family?!"
Suppressing his voice, the veins on Li Jianxi's forehead popped out. He hit the water with one hand, causing countless splashes.
"From my father who is lying in the hospital bed to my daughter who has just entered elementary school, none of us can survive!"
"But what if it succeeds?"
"From now on, South Korea will end the era of military government and directly elect the president! In your hands, you hold the votes that determine whether they can stay in office."
"From now on, the Sword of Damocles hanging over your heads will completely disappear!"
