preface
East Asia has always had the titles of "monster room" and "powder keg", and in this "monster room", North Korea is even more known as "East Asian ruthless people", and there are many cruel words, not only is the public opinion war a good hand, but the ruthless things done have made the world stunned, and even the arrogant and domineering United States has been repeatedly deflated in the hands of North Korea.
What's going on? What cruel things has North Korea done all these years to shock the world, so that the United States has something to do with him?
Assassination of South Korean President Park Chung-hee
Under the dual titles of "monster house" and "powder keg", East Asia is relatively stable, and although all sides hold strong force, they all maintain relative sanity.
But North Korea is an exception.
On January 21, 1968, North Korea sent 31 elite agents to infiltrate the Blue House, where South Korean President Park Chung-hee lives, across the military demarcation line between the two Koreas, and carried out the beheading operation.
Unfortunately, it failed in the end.
At that time, North Korea dared to do this, and there were some background dependents, first, the United States was deeply mired in the Vietnam War at that time, and its energy was limited; Second, it is backed by the Soviet Union and China, and is full of confidence; Third, it is not pleasing to see South Korea early.
And so, it happened. You can imagine how much impact this incident will have at that time, the situation on the peninsula is simply extremely tense!
But in the midst of this tension, North Korea is angry - especially angry!
Because while the world is concerned about the tension on the peninsula, North Korea is still worried about the failed assassination...
The Pueblo incident
Soon after the Blue House assassination, something even more jaw-dropping happened - the Pueblo incident.
The United States relies on its strong military strength, which can be said to have simply engraved its hegemony in its bones, taking the navy as an example, it often intrudes into the waters of other countries and does bad things under various pretenses.
In the face of this situation, many countries in most cases will adopt "soft drive" methods, such as water cannons, tracking and surveillance, warnings, etc., "don't car" and collisions are already very intense, after all, if it really fires, the impact can be too great.
North Korea is not in this ranks, he really dares to fire: as long as you dare to come, I dare to fire!
The Pueblo is an example.
As mentioned earlier, because of the failure of the Blue House assassination, the North Korean side was holding its breath, but two days later, on January 23, the US electronic reconnaissance ship Pueblo very ignorantly broke into the vicinity of the North Korean coastline, almost blatantly collecting electronic signals from the North Korean side.
North Korea, which was worried that there was nowhere to fire, would miss this opportunity, so it sent MiG fighters and torpedo boats to surround the Pueblo and demanded that the ship stop immediately for inspection, otherwise it would open fire.
The Pueblo panicked at that time, they had no plan to deal with such emergencies, so on the one hand, they called themselves marine research ships, on the other hand, they tried to break through, and even rushed to destroy the documents and equipment on board.
However, the DPRK was not happy, and when it saw that the ship on the other side was still destroying evidence, it immediately opened fire, killing one American crew member on the spot, wounding several people, and blinding the entire American crew of the ship.
In this way, the Pueblo fell into the hands of North Korea, and the crew on board was all captured by North Korea.
After the news reached the United States, the United States was also blinded, but then it was thunderous anger, began to threaten force, deployed various bombers and fighters to South Korea, increased military deployment, and even had tough voices saying that they would bomb North Korea, and even "nuclear peace" North Korea.
However, the United States is tough, the DPRK is tougher!
In response to the threat of force by the United States, the DPRK side not only did not soften, but also made all the people and troops ready for battle, and the media even said: Answer retaliation with retaliation, and answer all-out war with all-out war!
And lo and behold, how tough!
Captured crew of the Pueblo
This response also caught the United States off guard, but at that time, the United States was deeply mired in the Vietnam War and really did not want to make any more moves for North Korea, not to mention that China and the Soviet Union also publicly expressed their support for North Korea after the incident, and said that they were ready to support at any time.
In the end, after various considerations, the United States knew that it was wrong, and after condemnation, it had to start a long negotiation with the North Korean side, and finally the United States accepted North Korea's conditions, namely: admit its mistake, apologize and apologize, and guarantee that such incidents would not happen again.
At this point, the DPRK returned all the detained American crew members to the United States, but left the Pueblo, which is still on display in North Korea ...
I have to say that North Korea did this, really relieved!
Deep sea 129 AWACS aircraft
Of course, North Korea has done similar things more than once, and the year after the Pueblo incident, North Korea did it again, this time targeting the US Air Force, and it did it more ruthlessly than the last time!
In addition to the Navy, the U.S. Air Force often violates the airspace of other countries, and North Korea is naturally a frequent visitor to the U.S. Air Force.
At that time, North Korea's air power was relatively weak, and U.S. military aircraft specifically selected areas with poor air defense capabilities and no high-performance fighters for invasion.
It's like a miscellaneous bird has been provoking in the air that you can't reach, change you, do you want to catch this miscellaneous bird?
North Korea also wants to, and really do it!
At that time, the North Korean side dismantled two MiG fighters and quietly transported all parts to the designated area of the airport to re-assemble, ready to "catch birds".
On April 15, 1969, the US military did not know about North Korea's actions, and sent a "Deep Sea 129" early warning aircraft to reconnoiter over the waters northeast of North Korea, but was killed by two MiG fighters that suddenly appeared, and all 31 US military members on board died, and none of them survived.
Afterwards, the DPRK side even said that the US reconnaissance plane seriously damaged the sovereignty of the DPRK's airspace, and shooting it down was only a warning that if the United States dared to interfere in the DPRK's state affairs again, the DPRK would launch a hundredfold retaliatory strike!
This thing is really North Korea!
After the incident, the reaction of one Chinese and Western countries was very fierce, and the United States was even more angry, and the war at that time was almost imminent.
But what did the United States do in the end? Protest, drive the aircraft carrier over to demonstrate, and then, there will be no then ...
Panmunjom Axe Killing
This North Korea's navy and air force have all done ruthless things to the United States, but what about the army?
Not to mention, there really are, such as the 1976 Panmunjom axe killing.
The incident occurred in the "common garrison" of Panmunjom, where a large poplar tree grew between the U.S. military post and the North Korean outpost, and the U.S. military felt that the tree was a bit of a hindrance to their observation of North Korea, and wanted to cut it down.
But North Korea did not agree, repeated warnings were fruitless, and a natural conflict broke out between the two sides.
According to North Korea, it was a captain of the US army who still shot at them, but after being caught by the North Korean soldiers, he threw it back, chopping the captain to death on the spot, and many American and South Korean soldiers were injured in the subsequent fight, and one was seriously injured...
And how did the United States respond?
The author has learned about two versions.
One version is that the U.S. and South Korean military actually selected a full 64 taekwondo masters from the special forces to sit and continue to cut down trees. North Korea, on the other hand, felt that it had lost money, and this time did not stop it, and the US military finally cut down the poplar tree.
Another version is that the US military directly mobilized an aircraft carrier to the North Korea! Why is this aircraft carrier here? Town yard! Eventually, the U.S. military cut down the poplar tree in front of North Korean soldiers.
The aircraft carriers are all started, just to cut down a tree? This matter is a little ridiculous to say, as netizens said, anti-Japanese dramas dare not write like this!
As for which of these two versions is true, this is no longer the point, the point is that in order to cut down that poplar tree, the American army died a captain.
A poplar tree for a captain of the US army, this deal, North Korea does not seem to lose ...
Assassination of President Chun Doo-hwan of South Korea
In addition to dealing with the United States, North Korea has certainly dealt a lot of cruelty to South Korea.
There is a tacit understanding between these two countries, that is, they both think that they are orthodox, the other party is a crooked way, South Korea calls North Korea a Soviet puppet, and North Korea scolds South Korea as a US puppet.
The difference may be that North Korea is tougher.
North Korea has done more than once in the assassination of the South Korean president, in addition to the aforementioned assassination of Park Chung-hee in the Blue House, North Korea has also assassinated South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan in Myanmar.
It happened on October 9, 1983, when South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan visited Burma to pay homage to General Aung San, but North Korean agents found a security loophole and detonated a bomb at the venue, killing 21 and wounding 47.
Chun Doo-hwan escaped the assassination because he was two minutes late...
The two Koreas exchanged blows after the incident, while Myanmar went all out to solve the case, eventually killing one, arresting two North Korean agents, and publicly trying two North Korean agents.
And the angry North Korea broke off diplomatic relations with Myanmar because of this ...
One thing to say, we don't know why North Korea is angry, is it because Chun Doo-hwan is not punctual? Or is it Myanmar's trial of North Korean agents?
Kidnapping Japanese
In addition to South Korea, Japan has also been crossed by North Korea.
On November 29, 1987, a South Korean flight suddenly exploded while flying over the sea, killing everyone on board.
When the investigation was conducted, it was learned that it was two North Korean agents disguised as Japanese who did this...
It turned out that North Korea often kidnapped Japanese people in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and the purpose of the kidnapping was to ask these Japanese to teach Korean agents Japanese and some Japanese common sense... We don't know if this reason is true, in short, when I saw the information, the author was a little stunned...
After a long period of negotiations, North Korea admitted the abduction in 2002, perhaps due to public pressure and self-awareness, and North Korea later publicly apologized and sent the kidnapped survivors back to Japan.
nuclear weapon
Finally, there is the issue of nuclear weapons.
Don't look at North Korea, although it is small, but its heart is not small, and he also has red eyes on things that other countries have, including nuclear weapons.
North Korea has been conducting nuclear weapons research for a long time, and although the process is complicated and twists and turns, they finally got it out, and several consecutive nuclear tests caused the world to stare at the neck.
North Korea, on the other hand, talks to the United States on the nuclear weapons issue, saying that the North Korean nuclear issue is the result of the US policy of hostility to North Korea, and as long as the United States does not abandon this policy, North Korea will not give up its nuclear deterrent power and will sign a non-aggression treaty with the United States.
But the United States has demanded that North Korea abandon its nuclear program first.
As a result, the two sides have been pulling like this...
On September 8, 2022, under the leadership of the "strongest post-80s", North Korea directly legislated to declare itself a nuclear weapon state, claiming that North Korea could use a preemptive nuclear strike and saying that it would not engage in any denuclearization negotiations.
Want me to give up nuclear weapons? No way!
There has always been a joke internationally: why did the United States fight Iraq? Because there are suspicions of nuclear weapons. Why doesn't the United States dare to fight North Korea? Because North Korea really has nuclear weapons.
Not only is it true, according to the hard style of North Korea, he really dares to use it! In the Russian-Ukrainian war, China and the United States and Western countries have repeatedly pressured Russia, but Russia has always maintained restraint and has not really used nuclear weapons. But if the same situation were changed to North Korea, the atomic bomb might have been thrown out...
epilogue
As the saying goes: those who are horizontal are afraid of stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of death.
In the "East Asian monster room", North Korea has fully displayed this tough image of "not wanting to die".
In the fire pit, he chose to break off diplomatic relations with Ukraine, and gave the West eye medicine in the open, but the United States and the West have nothing to do with him for a while, and those who can be sanctioned have already been sanctioned, and it seems that there is nothing that can be sanctioned.
Against this background, I really don't know what "ruthless work" the "East Asian ruthless" North Korea can make in the future that will amaze the world ...
