[Kaesama, Presidential Palace, August 5649]
Jozef sat at the new mahogany table that once Sladek and Lazar had sat and rubbed his hands on the engrained wood admiring the craftsmanship, and flipped through the few documents in front of him. Everything was going better than expected.
The NRP had won the singular majority, the Fatherland Front were loyal to the NRP, and the APPA and KPP were crumbling in popularity. Looks like old grudges do die hard, nobody in the mainland had any real interest in voting for who they saw as responsible for years of poverty and starvation, and Jozef himself with the help of his genius and his fellow patriots had brought back Kundrati from the impossible. Trade flowed into the ports from 7 different countries, the old naval district Jildrath was over halfway finished along with the old IDL facility, once they'd been completed their military could begin re-arming in the distant future as it sold its KDC products abroad. The GDP daily rose, stocks began to climb and fiscal reserves grew, confidence in Kundrati business was returning as the free market worked its magic, and now Jozef had 1.3 billion riksdaler to convert and spend as he wished, and it was time to put that weapons grade Uranium money to good use.
Jozef knew this was his 2nd term out of his 3 term limit, and even if he won the 3rd term, the 4th he wouldn't be eligible for and would have to wait another before running another 3. It was time to clean house, albeit quietly. The legion knew how to get rid of political opponents like a bull knows how to trample and maim an infant, messy and noisy. Jozef had already convened with his internal security for the formation of this new elite agency. They called it, the Ministry of Compliance or MOC for short. These men were not assassins nor jackbooted thugs kicking in doors for the age of mass suppression was gone, but a small specialized force of stealthy and reliable individuals who would be focused solely on psychological warfare, how to make political opponents remove themselves from the equation.
These men were trained how to terrorize the private lives of enemies of the party and nation. First they would learn the private lives of the targets, shadow them, learn everything there is to know about them. It would start slow, sneaking into the house and planting bugs, swapping medications, moving furniture, removing gas from the car, little by little until they turned up the heat. Fake letters from lovers to their spouse that didn't exist, sudden removals from their place of employment, manipulating their friends family and even children against them until the will to resist the party no longer was possible. And the best part, it would be nearly impossible to detect such activities, and any harm that would become the victim would appear completely self inflicted or them just being simply unlucky.
Jozef had approved the program 9 months ago under the management of hundreds of old legionnaires and commissariat agents to train them who had decades of experience in espionage and internal security. and trials on low ranking KPP members were already bearing fruit, the methods being honed like a sharpened dagger. Jozef had to ensure his 3rd victory which through popularity and statecraft alone was highly likely, but his replacement for the 4th term had to be one of his men, someone he could control as he behind the curtains ran the shadow government. 300 million riksdalers had been converted and paid out to form the new ministry, and it was time to begin writing lists. Jozef clicked his ballpoint pen and wrote down two names first.
Tiberius Claudius Nero
Arañotz Dindairu
Jozef wrote 30 names, signed it, and placed it in the red envelope titled "TOP SECRET CLEARANCE LEVEL IV" then turned and continued planning for Kundratis economic resurgence.
