Chapter 524: Juyoung Hong (51)
The typhoon emitted huge ice and powerful gusts of wind just a little while ago. The huge gust of wind was still there, but the huge chunks of ice that had inflicted direct damage on the Japanese naval fleet until a moment ago disappeared as if it were an illusion.
When that happened, the Japanese battleships were no longer being crushed and sinking into the cold sea.
After I defused the crisis, I turned my eyes to Prime Minister Abezo, and said in a low voice, "I hope you are serious about surrendering. Seriously. If you are not being sincere, and try to trick me, you will see the end of Japan."
I decided that I had better stop here if I didn't want to destroy Japan completely, let alone Prime Minister Abezo.
To be honest, it's not that I didn't understand Japan's actions toward the Seventh Mining Area. If I had been in their shoes, I would have done the same thing because in a few years, the agreement on their joint development of the Seventh Mining Area with South Korea would expire, allowing them to take control of the area legitimately. Besides, the mining area in question was no ordinary one, but a huge oilfield with oil reserves as big as those in Saudi Arabia.
When I made my threat, the prime minister rep[lied right away, kowtowing with his head touching the floor, as if he wanted to prove he was sincere about surrender.
"Of course, I'll do it! I'm serious!"
Given his submissive attitude, I felt he would help solve other matters if I mentioned them, such as the territorial dispute of Dokdo Island, the apologies for the comfort women issue and their forced occupation of the Korean peninsula during the early 20st century.
But I didn't bring them up because I believed he clearly realized that any further provocations by Japan would not work.
