Namkung Kyoh, the Foreign Minister of North Korea was in an unenviable situation. He had in the first part of the day had hosted a lunch for the visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Chan Ju-Long, with all the pomp and show typical to North Korea, whenever a foreign diplomat visited the capital of North Korea. Chan Ju-Long, typical to everything Chinese, was all praise for the Kŭm Regime and had assured the support of his country in promoting and preserving the socialist-communist Government. And at the end of all photo-ops, Chan Ju-Long told he had to hand over a thick folder, purportedly from the Chinese Premier to the North Korean Supremo, Gyeong Kŭm, FYI only in person. Though the Chinese Foreign Minister did not give a hint about the contents of the file, the Military Intelligence Officer attached to the Foreign Ministry had already reported on what could be expected soon from the Chinese Government after the Hiroshima Meet. Namkung, naturally did not want to accompany the Chinese Foreign Minister to the flaky choego and earn his chancy wrath. He neither wanted to know what the thick envelope from the Chinese Premier contained. Simply he did not like to become the carrier of bad news to his eccentric President. Several people, who had the misfortune of being the carriers of bad news had been executed by the Kŭms and earlier Kims of the country brutally by anti-aircraft guns, including the erstwhile, defense minister Hyon Yong-chol, who was once very close to Kim Jong-un.
