Chapter 1261: The Good Student of the Peninsula (Third update, please subscribe)

“A nation of like-minded people!”

Even though the plane had taken off for more than two hours, Park Jung-woong was still thinking about this question. After launching the uniformitarian change last year, he has been thinking about how to lead South Korea out of poverty.

At least let the Koreans have food to eat first!

South Korea's per capita national income is now only US$85, even lagging behind the poorest countries in Africa, Ghana and Gabon.

In today's South Korea, it is normal for ordinary people to go hungry. Many people even have to sell blood for a living... Speaking of which, as the president, he feels extremely embarrassed - blood products are actually one of South Korea's most important exports.

Thousands of malnourished Koreans have to rely on selling blood to make a living when they can’t even get enough food!

And where are the blood products produced by the blood and sweat of Koreans exported?

Nanyang!

Park Jung-woong could not express any dissatisfaction with this. After all, Koreans sell blood to make a living. If Nanyang does not import blood products, Koreans' lives will be more difficult.

In front of Korean hospitals, there are always queues of Koreans selling blood. For Koreans, selling blood has long become a necessity for their livelihood.

"To escape poverty with blood..."

He closed his eyes, and a hint of unspeakable pain flashed across his thin face, but his hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the chair. At this time, his wife Lu Yingxiu asked:
"Sir, you seem to be worried!"

"Um,"

Nodding, Park Jung-woong said:

"I don't know how to deal with that gentleman. He is truly a rare hero in the world. Dealing with such a hero..."

After a pause, he did not continue speaking because there were other guests sitting in the cabin. As the president, he could only sit in business class. After all, he certainly could not afford a chartered plane.

"But I heard that the Excellency is very approachable. Even Princess Margaret is very approachable."

Park Jung-woong nodded and said nothing. He knew in his heart that such approachable attitude was just an attitude towards people, not about interests. That gentleman had dealt with Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and of course MacArthur, Churchill and De Gaulle.

He became friends with everyone, but no one ever took advantage of him!
How much has Nanyang contributed to the free world?

But it is the "right hand of the free world". The most important recipient of US aid to Asia is Southeast Asia! Southeast Asia is also the most important ally in Asia.

But in reality, how much has Nanyang done for the United States - nothing!

Thinking of this, Park Jung-woong felt mixed emotions! He didn't even participate in the Korean Peninsula War, but even so, he contributed to South Korea's freedom - as soon as the Panmunjom Agreement was signed, Nanyang, which had been reluctant to send troops, sent a medical team.

Even so, Eisenhower declared that "Southeast Asia is the free world's most solid and important ally in the peninsula war."

“They are all countries, why is there such a big gap?”

If South Korea wants to contribute to the free world, it has to donate blood packages, but what about Southeast Asia?
People just need to move their mouths.

Park Jung-woong really didn't have the confidence to deal with such a hero, especially since he didn't have what the other party needed.

What gift should I give?
Whether or not gifts are given is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to let Nanyang understand that supporting South Korea will be rewarded.

An hour later, the plane finally landed at Chang'an Airport. The difference from the last time he came to Southeast Asia was that this time Park Jung-woong came as the head of state, so there had to be a welcoming ceremony - the ceremony would be held after the passengers got off.

He was greeted by Zhang Zheyuan, director of the official residence office. Although Park Jung-woong is the president, but... he is only the president of South Korea.

After a simple welcoming ceremony, the group drove to the Daming Palace.

"This Park Jung-woong is quite pragmatic."

Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After all, they were traveling on ordinary flights, and the pragmatic reason was actually poverty.

Because of its poverty, South Korea needed loans from Southeast Asia, which is why Park Jung-woong chose Southeast Asia as the first country he would visit.

The convoy, escorted by a concierge motorcycle team, drove all the way to the "Daming Palace". Along the way, Park Jung-woong sat upright with a serious look.

Almost half an hour later, the Daming Palace finally appeared in sight. Looking at the oriental palace-style building in the distance, Park Zhengxiong, who was familiar with Chinese history, thought of a term - Tang Dynasty. Chang'an, Daming Palace, Tang people... everything was closely related to the Tang Dynasty.

This is Nanyang - the overseas Tang Dynasty of the Tang people!
While sighing in their hearts, the convoy drove into the Daming Palace.

When he stepped out of the car, Park Jung-woong finally saw the hero he had long admired. It was him - a man younger than himself, who had built this country from scratch!

If Nanyang is a miracle!
Then he is the miracle worker!
Sixteen years ago, there was no South Seas in the world - even this land belonged to the North Borneo Company, the Kingdom of Sarawak and the Dutch East Indies respectively.

It was he who created this country by purchasing the last "territorial acquisition" in modern history. Then he recruited immigrants and rose from the rainforest.

"We have to work hard to open up the mountains and forests, and bravely create a bright future. Let us fight for you, our motherland - Nanyang. We will not let the old disasters come back, and for this we will unite closely..."

For some reason, the national anthem of Nanyang came to Park Jung-woong's mind.

More than a decade ago, they came to this land, wearing tattered clothes and clearing the mountains and forests. The former rainforests have become modern cities and highly productive plantations, just as described in the song - this was once a wilderness, and they changed it all with their own hands.

No matter how people who slander Nanyang slander this country as "the last colonial country in the world", it cannot change one fact - before them, this place was a barren land, and after them, it became prosperous and wealthy.

It is a blessing to be conquered by civilization!
Yes, this land and the people here, they should be grateful!

They were conquered by civilization!
Although as the head of a colonized country, Park Jung-woong should have empathized with the natives, but now he feels fortunate for them.

Not just Southeast Asia, but also Malaya, Singapore, Surabaya and Mindanao!
When the Tang people came here, they did not come to conquer the place. They brought civilization. How lucky this was for the indigenous people!
At this moment, Park Jung-woong seemed to understand why predecessors such as Liu Linxi of the West China School were always committed to "respecting the great principles of Zhou", because what they remembered was not only the "grace of the three creators", but also the spread of civilization.

Perhaps because he was too excited, for more than ten seconds, Park Jung-woong was like a fan of his idol. He stared at Li Yian with great excitement.

Finally, Park Jung-woong realized his impoliteness and bowed quickly:
"Sir, please forgive me for being rude!"

"President Park, you are so polite. Welcome to Nanyang."

When shaking hands with him, Li Yian looked at Park Jung-woong, who was thin and only 1.65 meters tall, and felt quite emotional.

This feeling was even greater than his meetings with Churchill, Roosevelt and others. In front of those big men from big countries, he was not worth mentioning, but in this world, there are not many people who can reverse the fate of a country.

But this guy in front of us is holding a bad hand - under the dual threats of military and political power from the North, he is pushing extremely poor South Korea step by step into the ranks of developed countries.

He licked the Japanese's boots and traded Korean lives for money - no matter how you evaluate him, when he first came to power, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world, with per capita income only one-third of North Korea's. In his ninth year in power, South Korea's economy surpassed North Korea. When he was beaten to death, South Korea had completely left North Korea behind.

Even when his daughter was choosing a university major, in order to develop Korea's industry, he set an example by sending his daughter, who originally wanted to study literature, to study electronic engineering, which was most needed in Korea at the time.

In contrast, the members of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan have reduced the tuition-saving national and public universities to only have science and engineering departments, making it impossible for the poor to study liberal arts. They can only study engineering and become victims and tools, but they send their own children to Zaoda to study political science, law, and business.

This is a common phenomenon throughout the Western world.

Compared with those hypocritical politicians, Park Jung-woong is an upright person.

There are many garbage countries like South Korea, but there are few people like Park Jung-woong...

However, now that Japan is no longer there for him to lick, how will Park Jung-woong lick the Southeast Asian nation in order to obtain loans and aid?

"Sir, although this is the first time I've met you, I've long admired you. A few years ago, when I first came to Nanyang for training, I was amazed at the wealth and development of Nanyang. You are truly the number one hero in Asia, and that's why you were able to create the Nanyang miracle!"

Hey!
This licking is too powerful!
Looking at Park Jung-woong who was like a fanboy in front of him, listening to his flattery, and even bowing humbly while speaking, Li Yian finally understood why the emperors in ancient times liked the feeling of having all nations come to pay tribute, and even did not hesitate to spend the national treasury to give lavish rewards.

It turns out that the feeling of being flattered and licked by foreign heads of state is really very comfortable!
"We must be vigilant. They flatter others for their own reasons, and they will pay the price!"

While enjoying himself, Li Yian has regained consciousness. He smiled and said:
"The Nanyang miracle was created by millions of Nanyang people. I just provide them with a place where they can display their talents and abilities. This is also what we as leaders should do - to create a good environment for them."

Well, although he was unwilling to admit it, Li Yian involuntarily turned into a teacher and began to educate his students. Park Zhengxiong not only did not have any resistance to this, but was very excited. He even couldn't help touching his pocket and finally took out a small notebook.

Then, like an elementary school student, he picked up a ballpoint pen and started taking notes!

This... is it possible that this is a tradition of the peninsula?
