CHAPTER 28

SCOUNDRELS AND SKULLDUGGERY

“There is no honor among thieves.”

Proverb

Three days and several thousand air miles later a DVD landed on the desk of General Fhang. He had a translator queue it up on a Sony laptop. He became horrified as he watched and heard the details unfold of the plot to commit the terrorist act, code-named “Wonson”, against the Americans unravel before his eyes and ears. Fhang didn’t know either of these men, but as time went by he began to reluctantly believe the veracity of at least Yim, as the details he was exposing could not easily be invented, even by the devilish South Korean intelligence apparatus. No, his gut told him that, much to his consternation, this information was, unfortunately, very true indeed.

General Fhang immediately dismissed the translator and summoned General Kim. General Fhang queued up the DVD and ordered General Kim to watch it as he paced the room nervously, while feelings of anger, frustration and even fear crossed his troubled mind about what he had just seen and heard. When Kim had seen enough, he looked with urgency at General Fhang and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “What does this mean?”

Fhang started off evenly but soon was venting his frustration in a furious rage that momentarily startled General Kim in its scope and intensity. “Even in their deaths, the Chongs and their former minions bedevil me with their bizarre and outrageous plots that threaten my Brilliant New Light. WHY WAS I NEVER TOLD OF THIS? THERE MUST BE SOMEONE HERE WHO KNEW OF THIS AND FAILED TO TELL ME SO I COULD CALL OFF THIS MURDEROUS SCHEME!” he bellowed.

General Kim had a more rational reaction to what he had seen on the DVD and started to think the problem through. Kim, too, marveled at how many coincidences, secretive blunderings, personnel purges, and outright deceptions could have confluenced to allow this plot to proceed without General Fhang’s knowledge. The more he thought about and followed the trail from the death of Madam Chong, the purges, and the outright mysterious disappearances of people, the more it played out and went cold at the desk of General Rhee, Fhang’s first Chief of Staff. Kim became convinced that Rhee knew about the plan and had deliberately committed an egregious act of omission by not making Fhang aware of it immediately after he assumed power. But he had to be absolutely sure before making the fateful accusation. At that point it would be either his life or General Rhee’s.

Before the day ended, General Kim approached Fhang and made a well calculated suggestion. “General Fhang, I have a plan to smoke out the person or persons who have betrayed you. Please give me two days and I think your tormentor will make himself known to you in person.”

“Very well, General Kim, but I am very angry about this and expect a speedy resolution. I cannot stand to be falsely accused by the international community of being a terrorist. You have your two days,” he responded angrily.
