This man was Roh Geum-seok, a lieutenant in the North Korean Air Force, who defected to the Gimpo Air Base in South Korea on September 21, 1953, in a MiG-15 fighter jet. The United States and South Korea did not treat him badly, and immediately gave him $100,000 as a bonus.
Roh Jin-seok, whose name is seen by North Koreans, is an out-and-out traitor. He was born in the south of North Korea, perhaps because he was so close to South Korea, and he was full of yearning for life in the south from an early age. He believed that the people of the South enjoyed freedom and happiness, while the people of North Korea lived under misery and oppression.
He had a dream of becoming a pilot and flying into the free skies. After hard training, he finally became an excellent MiG-15 pilot.
The MiG-15 fighter was one of the most advanced fighters in the world at that time, supplied by the Soviet Union to North Korea, with great firepower and speed. During the Korean War, the U.S. military had been trying to capture a MiG-15 fighter in order to study its technology and performance, but it never had the opportunity.
So, the U.S. military came up with a ruse, which was to use the means of psychological warfare to distribute a large number of leaflets to North Korean soldiers and pilots, promising high bonuses and a good life, as long as they were willing to surrender and hand over MiG-15 fighters.
These leaflets are like seeds that quietly sprout in the hearts of some people. Roh Jin-seok is one of them. He saw the ** on the leaflet, and the idea of defecting to the United States became stronger and stronger. He decided to take a risk and see if he could achieve his dream.
In the early morning of September 21, 1953, Roh Jin-seok took advantage of the gloomy weather to fly a MiG-15 fighter plane from a base in North Korea and headed south. He had studied the map and fuel beforehand and knew that he would be able to fly to the Gimpo Air Base in South Korea. He managed to evade South Korean air defense radars and landed smoothly in Gimpo.
He got off the plane, surrendered to the U.S. military, and declared himself a defected North Korean pilot who was willing to hand over the MiG-15 fighter in exchange for a $100,000 bonus. He also put on the ** of the US military, was interviewed and photographed by the US military, and was promoted as a hero by the US military.
I have to say that he succeeded, and he succeeded in becoming a *** knife in the heart of North Korea by the United States, and he also got the freedom and wealth he dreamed of, but what he didn't know was that his betrayal brought great disasters to his family and North Korea.
When the North Korean side learned of Roh Jin-suk's defection, they were very angry and immediately ordered him to be arrested and severely punished. At the same time, those associated with him were censored and punished, and his family was forced to move out of their hometown, deprived of all property and dignity, and finally chose to commit mass suicide in despair.
Even all those who had the slightest intersection with him were strictly scrutinized as traitors, and Roh Jinxi's betrayal made him lose his dearest person and made him bear a heavy sin.
I don't know if his conscience will hurt when he spends all his time in the United States!This story teaches us that life choices are not so simple, and sometimes, more important things may be sacrificed in pursuit of momentary gains. In the face of difficulties and difficulties, we should stick to the right path in order to win true freedom and happiness.
