My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 440

‘Well, I can understand the situation.’

They have their own incompetence issues and desires based on performance. Plus, having a lot of money is good for skimming in the middle.

Of course, they can’t hide how much they received per person, but it’s not difficult to deceive the number of hostages held.

“How foolish.”

Park Do-joon shook his head and looked at Yoon Tae-min.

“So, what did the Karen say?”

He allowed them to break the deal with them, but he can’t handle the detailed negotiations himself. He has too many other things to think about.

“We’ve agreed with the Karen to settle at 30 million won per person.”

“Already? That’s fast.”

“The Karen are quite burdened by the attacks coming from China.”

“They have reason to be.”

If China deploys fighter jets, it won’t just kill the combat troops. They will obviously try to kill all the families and children using bombs, so it was naturally important for the Karen to prevent China from getting involved.

“Furthermore, it seems they’ve fallen out with that guy Zhuo Lin.”

“Zhuo Lin?”

“He seems to be the boss of the guys who rule that area now.”

They tried to negotiate, but Zhuo Lin refused to give them money. And Jawa and his gang know that if they leave, they are likely to be killed.

“But will China really attack?”

“I don’t know.”

“Pardon?”

“I said I don’t know.”

To be honest, it is uncertain whether China will mobilize its military for the sake of Taiwanese people who are not even its own citizens. Of course, it is also true that the Myanmar military, or rather the Myanmar coup army, is receiving help from China.

“But currently, China has a headache with an unexpected situation.”

They said something. He doesn’t want that. Ambiguous words that neither condemn the coup army nor threaten them.

“Perhaps, looking at their actions, the situation seems to be turning out to be not so easy.”

“How so?”

“Perhaps China’s goal was to establish a satellite state in Myanmar. Ah, of course, if it is true that they supported the Myanmar military.”

However, after the Myanmar coup army staged a coup, the situation became strange.

“Perhaps they thought the people would bow down if they staged a coup.”

However, the people are currently resisting, even risking civil war, and the Myanmar military is suffering from a severe shortage of personnel.

“As you know, the military structure in Myanmar operates like a kind of aristocracy.”

“Really? Oh, is that so?”

Park Do-joon clicked his tongue inwardly at Yoon Tae-min’s clueless expression.

‘What the hell are the Foreign Ministry guys doing not telling him that?’

This is a very serious political problem. But he doesn’t know that. Park Do-joon sighed deeply and said.

“In Myanmar, being a soldier feels like a kind of status.”

“A strong sense of status?”

“Yes.”

If the father is a soldier, the child is also a soldier. That is the unique characteristic of the Myanmar military.

“The Myanmar military is actually hard to see as a military. What should I say, it’s closer to a tribe within the military.”

“A tribe within the military?”

“Yes, the closest form is… Ah, you could say Sparta.”

The country that operated in the form closest to the Myanmar military, where a small number of trained, powerful beings dominate the powerless majority, was the Spartan army.

“In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the Myanmar military has no contact with the general public in Myanmar at all.”

“But isn’t Myanmar a conscription country?”

“That’s right. It is a conscription country.”

Park Do-joon shrugged his shoulders and said. In fact, Myanmar is a conscription country. It is also a very harsh conscription country. To what extent? Even in situations that are not civil wars, the Myanmar military junta was the one who conscripted child soldiers, trained them, and pushed them to the battlefield.

“But in that process, severe brainwashing takes place.”

The soldiers who are conscripted and stand on the front lines are the soldiers who have been conscripted and dragged away, and those who control them are the officers who have become a kind of aristocracy.

“The Myanmar military junta has been indiscriminately conscripting underage child soldiers since a long time ago. The reason is not because they lack combat personnel.”

The reason was not that they didn’t have enough people, but that the younger they were, the easier it was to brainwash them and use them as bullet shields.

“In fact, since the civil war, conscription itself has not been carried out properly, so they are becoming increasingly isolated.”

There are not enough personnel to control the entire Myanmar region, and the rebel forces lack the firepower to overthrow the Myanmar military.

They cannot easily conscript because if they do, the rebels might come in and shoot the commander.

“Because of that, the Myanmar coup army is now conscripting minors like crazy.”

They think that at least the underage child soldiers have not yet been reached by the rebels.

“And China would never have expected such a situation. They cannot understand the fact that the people are rebelling against the state itself.”

A military coup is not just once or twice, and the people are rebelling against the armed military? China could never understand that. They thought they could just push those guys away with force.

“But the situation has changed strangely.”

If they openly support the warlords, even if China goes wild, it is obvious that politicians around the world will try to cut ties if it becomes known that they instigated a coup and overturned the country.

They will think that if they don’t like it, they will instigate a coup and try to overthrow the country.

“But if they leave it as it is, the atmosphere is strange.”

It is a fact that China contacted the Myanmar coup army, and it is also a fact that the coup occurred after that, and it is also a fact that Chinese weapons and funds secretly went to the coup army.

Therefore, China is in a difficult situation. If they help the Myanmar coup military in this state, they will be stigmatized as a country that carried out a coup in another country, and conversely, if they allow the civilian army to win, a government with anti-China sentiment will be established.

“Are you saying that China was trying to establish a kind of phantom government in Myanmar?”

“Yes.”

“No, does that make sense? That’s a method used during World War II.”

Park Do-joon clicked his tongue at those words.

‘That’s the problem with smart people.’

They judge the situation based on their own standards. The problem is that the world doesn’t work that rationally.

“Well, you can think that way. But do you know what China’s wolf warrior diplomacy is called in other words?”

“What is it called?”

“Imperialism.”

Yoon Tae-min’s eyes shook at those words. That’s what it actually was. The method China is using now is a kind of imperialism that has disappeared since World War II, in which they suppress and swallow the other party with force.

“China and Russia are advocating political and diplomatic methods of imperialism in the past. But if you apply a more developed dialogue-based diplomacy to that, will you get an answer?”

“…….”

“Were there any countries that did not overthrow countries in the form of so-called vassal states during World War II?”

“Ugh!”

Japan also established Manchukuo in China, and even Germany established a kind of phantom government in France during World War II that was loyal to them.

“In the first place, how old are the guys who are doing diplomacy in China now?”

The most efficient method when they learned diplomacy was imperialism. And after that, new diplomats had to come out and learn new diplomatic methods, but China is a country that extremely dislikes that.

“The important thing is that China did not predict this situation.”

“Then are you saying they won’t push in?”

“That’s ambiguous.”

Park Do-joon was not sure. It is true that he spread such rumors and induced the Karen in Myanmar to be mistaken, but there is a lack of information about whether China will come or not.

“However, realistically speaking, there is a high possibility that they will not come.”

“Then what about what you’ve said to the Karen so far?”

“It’s closer to a lie to control them. Should I say it’s the transmission of uncertain information?”

The Karen already know that China is trying to make Myanmar its vassal state. And they know what happens in such cases, looking at the situation in Tibet.

“I just leaked information that would make their suspicions certain.”

“Is it okay to do that?”

“In the first place, if we say to the Karen, ‘The Chinese army will never come,’ will the Karen believe that?”

Park Do-joon shrugged his shoulders and said.

“We are in a position where we have to use the Karen. According to the Karen, there are 340 people held captive, right? But if we say to them, ‘China won’t come, so don’t worry,’ and they refuse to cooperate, will you take responsibility for that?”

“…….”

In situations to resolve political situations or problems, there is nothing as foolish as pretending to be good and not lying. Of course, lying about actions that are bound to be revealed is the most foolish thing to do.

“But this is a lie that cannot be revealed.”

If China doesn’t come when the criminals are handed over, it means that China is satisfied with the criminals and doesn’t come, and even if the criminals are handed over, China comes and attacks the Karen or helps the Myanmar coup army, it is a kind of trap that the hostages or crimes are just an excuse and will eventually happen.

“And the saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend has been around for a long time.”

If you want the Karen rebels who have antipathy towards China to have some favor towards this side, you have to say that China is suspicious, but if you say, ‘China is unlikely to come,’ they will rather have hostility.

“This is not like a crime where someone is justice and someone is evil. That’s what politics is.”

You have to use everything you can in that situation.

“Um……”

“First of all, the important thing is that in this situation, the Myanmar Jawa gang and that Zhuo Lin, right? Those guys are at odds with each other.”

“So?”

“So, declare the breakdown of negotiations first from this side.”

“What?”

The Taiwanese were horrified at those words. Suddenly, the negotiations broke down at a time when they had to somehow make the negotiations.

Of course, Park Do-joon did not tell them to break off negotiations without any thought.

“You don’t have to be afraid of the breakdown of negotiations. It’s an inevitable situation in the first place. That’s just a difference in expression depending on the position.”

“A difference in expression depending on the position?”

“From our perspective, it is not a breakdown of negotiations, but a change of negotiation partner. On the other hand, for the human trafficking organization, it is a breakdown of negotiations. But for the Karen, it is the beginning of negotiations.”

Park Do-joon smiled and said.

“Criminals are obvious. If we act stiffly, they will definitely try to show off their power in some way.”

In fact, during the Well Church incident, the Taliban killed two people to show their power when the negotiations were sluggish and the atmosphere in Korea seemed to demand a rescue operation through force rather than through negotiations.
