I think the story goes like this...

After watching the previous point of the film again, it is clear and summarized as follows:
1. The film divides the forces of North Korea into two groups: one is the government faction headed by No. The military faction represented by Li Taihan. Judging from the whole film, the government's strategy is to create tensions in exchange for benefits, while the military is a real hard-liner, and it wants to fight to the end. Soldiers are all upright boys), so there is a huge difference between the two factions.
2. Liu Renzhen revealed to China that a large-scale purge in North Korea is planned. This is an action planned by the government. The core content is to purge important military personnel. It may be to consolidate the regime on the 1st, but there is no such thing at the beginning of the film. Explain the specific action time
3. Li Taihan detected the purge operation of the government, and planned to arrange for Yan Tieyou, who had retired due to illness, to kill the government executors Park Guangdong and Jin Taiyuan first. The assassination of Jin Taiyuan went well. The time of the assassination of Park Guangdong It was set when Park Guangdong originally planned to inspect the Kaesong Industrial Park
4. The death of Jin Taiyuan aroused Park Guangdong's vigilance. He should have had a premonition that someone in the military had already known about the purge action sent by the government and had to carry out the purge ahead of schedule. set in the original plan inspections Kaesong time, so you can surprise, surprise hit military
5. ordered the firing of rockets into the Kaesong industrial park is Litai Han, because the US military stolen MLRS1 team launch site in Korea , it was obviously carried out by people who passed through the tunnel dug by Li Taihan. The rocket launch may be a temporary decision made by
Li Taihan after he learned that the No. 1 person inspected the industrial park. 6. Why did Park Guangdong let Yan Tieyou kill himself? A conjecture: At that time, the political situation in North Korea was chaotic. The actual controller of North Korea known to the South was Park Guangdong. If there was an assassination in the talks between the two sides, the murderer would be a North Korean, and Park Guangdong retreated completely, then the South Korean side would think that the assassination was an assassination attempt. Park Guangdong planned, this may endanger No. 1 and destroy the relationship between North Korea and South Korea, but in fact, when Park Guangdong heard Yan Tieyou calling the chief director, he had realized that the mastermind behind the military was Li Taihan, who was ignored by the government. This assassination was performed by Li Taihan. Planned, his own death proves his innocence

About this film or Ming or The political positions of China, the United States, Japan, North
Korea and South Korea expressed implicitly are added as follows: 1. To understand the positions of all parties expressed in this film, we must first understand the internal situation of
North Korea. The government faction represented by (to be precise, the Workers' Party of Korea, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet only appeared at the end), and the second is the
main members of the military faction 1.1 government faction represented by the head of the Korean People's Army Reconnaissance General Li Taihan

Kim Doo-won, the Minister of State Security of the DPRK, and Ryu In-jeong, the chief receptionist for Chinese officials stationed in North Korea, were assassinated by Yan Tieyou in the same car at the same time. We can think that the two belong to the same force, and we can also see that the force has close ties with China.

North Korea's Chief of the Guard Park Kwang-dong salutes Kim Doo-won alone at the cemetery, indicating that the two belong to the same faction. The North Korean Guard General Administration is the defense agency of the top leader of North Korea. It has extremely strict audits of recruits to ensure sufficient loyalty. From this background, it is impossible for Park Guangdong to betray No. 1 and launch a coup.
Now, Park Guangdong, Jin Taiyuan and Liu Inzhen should be in the same camp, so how did they get involved with No. 1?

Li Hongzhang's words showed that Jin Douyuan was not killed by No. 1, implying that Jin Douyuan and No. 1 were not hostile.


The director borrowed Yan Tieyou's words to explain that the people who came to the talks were to ensure that No. 1 was safe. Yan Tieyou believed that it was Park Guangdong's coup, and Li Taihan was maintaining the safety of No. 1. He thought that Li Taihan would come, but in fact it was Park Guangdong who came to talk. , replacing "Park Kwangdong's plan will fail" in the sentence with "Lee Taehan's plan will fail" is the real situation.
Although it is not too full, it can be seen that Park Guangdong belongs to the same faction as No. 1, and they are both government-affiliated. The attack on Kaesong Industrial Park analyzed below can also prove that Park Guangdong and No. 1 belong to the same force.
1.2 The main members of
the military faction are actually very obvious, and it can be seen from their identities.




The Ministry of People's Armed Forces of the DPRK commands the national armed forces of the DPRK and is equivalent to the Ministry of National Defense.
The headquarters of the Korean People's Army has the General Political Bureau and the General Staff.
The General Bureau of Reconnaissance of the Korean People's Army is subordinate to the Ministry of People's Armed Forces and is solely responsible for the DPRK's foreign intelligence work.
One thing to note is that it is unknown whether other members of the military participated in the coup, but the film shows only Li Taihan who launched the coup.
2. North Korea's attitude towards China (this may be the starting point of the story)

Liu Renzhen never dared to divulge major information about the impending purge operation in North Korea to China without the permission of his superiors, but someone must have instructed him. Who ordered it? Liu Inzhen and Jin Dooyuan have close relations, and Jin Dooyuan is the Minister of State Security of North Korea. This agency is one of the intelligence agencies responsible for North Korea's domestic counter-espionage investigation. Liu Inzhen should have directly instructed Jin Dooyuan. From the above analysis, Jin Douyuan should have been inspired by No. 1.
That is to say, the government sent the Chinese side before carrying out the purge operation, because they looked at China's face, hoped to get China's support, and did not want to tear their face. And China leaked the news to South Korea, which is also quite interesting...
why do you say this may be the starting point of the story?
You know, Li Taihan is the chief reconnaissance chief, and intelligence is his specialty.

At the beginning of the film, Li Taihan gave Yan Tieyou a mission to say that Park Guangdong and Jin Douyuan wanted a coup, but he was actually deceiving Yan Tieyou. The truth is that he detected the purge operation planned by Park Guangdong and Jin Douyuan. This purge was aimed at the People's Army, and Li Taihan wanted to use Yan Tieyou. Get rid of the two.
It is very likely that Liu Renzhen was spied by Li Taihan when he leaked information to China! ! !
From this dialogue, it can be seen that Li Taihan is not too friendly to the Chinese side, and the opinions of other military leaders are unclear.
3. Who the hell attacked the Kaesong Industrial Park? The
director played tricks on editing, deliberately hiding the real murderer and confusing the audience. In fact, if you slow down and watch it carefully, you can understand it. It is mainly judged from two aspects.
3.1 The person who has been chasing No.
1 was assassinated for the first time in Kaesong Industrial Park

Remember this face!
At the same time, it can also be seen that the person who assassinated No. 1 was the one who pretended to be the US military to launch rockets.
The second time No. 1 was stabbed at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic

It's him again!
This assassination happened after Yan Tieyou reported the situation of No. 1 to Li Taihan. According to the usual routine of the movie, you can actually guess something at this time.
The third time No. 1 was assassinated was in the hospital

That's right! It's still him!
The assassination is nearing the end of the film, and the director's hint is obvious, which can be guessed from the background. Therefore, at this time, Park Guangdong is dead.

And before the assassination, the camera was aimed at Li Taihan, who was watching the report on where No. 1 received treatment, and said the above.
That's right! The assassination of No. 1 and the impersonation of the US military were all done by Li Taihan!
3.2 The red house that appears many times

The red house is the exit of a tunnel dug by North Koreans in South Korea.
The first time the red house appeared, a few people in American uniforms emerged from the tunnel, followed by the footage of the US MLRS launching rockets. It can be known that the person who attacked the Kaesong Industrial Park came from the tunnel of the red house. from.

In the film, Yan Tieyou also mentioned that only Li Taihan ordered the opening of the tunnel, indicating that only Li Taihan wanted to use the tunnel. In fact, he wanted to assassinate No. 1 and blame the US military for killing two birds with one stone.

Near the end of the film, Yan Tieyou went to the place agreed with Li Taihan, which was the red house, and the people arranged by Li Taihan were waiting for him. It is certain that the "ownership" of the red house and its connected tunnel belongs to Li Taihan.
It can be seen that the only person who wants to assassinate No. 1 from the beginning to the end of the film is Li Taihan, and of course he is also the one who attacked the Kaesong Industrial Park.
