[The leader of North Korea was furious as the newly built destroyer capsized right in front of him during its launching ceremony! How much damage did it do to national dignity?]
The launching ceremony for the newly constructed destroyer took place on May 21st. The leader of North Korea personally attended, underscoring the high level of importance placed on this event. However, an extremely serious accident occurred right in front of him, with the stern section detaching and grounding, a hole forming in the hull, and the vessel losing balance.
In response, the leader of North Korea flew into a rage, labeling the incident as a "severe major accident" and "criminal behavior." He stated that the country's "national dignity" had been "damaged in one fell swoop" by this accident. He believed that the core cause of the accident was negligence, irresponsibility, and unscientific empiricism—elements that cannot exist and are unacceptable.
He demanded that all relevant personnel be investigated and that the destroyer must be repaired unconditionally before June, as this is a "political issue concerning the prestige of North Korea."
Recently, North Korea's military industry has made rapid progress, with various aspects showing a high degree of confidence. The country's military strength is also a crucial component in ensuring its own security and effectively deterring the U.S. and South Korea. At this time, everyone is watching how far North Korea's military power will develop. It is indeed difficult for the leader to accept such a significant accident occurring precisely now, especially in front of him.
