Songun Brilliant Commander's Faith and Grit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, December 8 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il is a peerlessly brilliant commander of Songun with faith and grit unswerving in any grim trials and adversities. It was well illustrated by a fact that took place right after the U.S. imperialists' armed spy ship "Pueblo" incident in January 1968.
    One day Kim Jong Il summoned an official to acquaint himself with movements of the enemy and asked him how an art performance was being prepared. The official hesitated to answer.
    In fact, the whole country had been busy with preparations for colorful functions to be held in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the proclamation of the development of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army into a regular army just before the "Pueblo" incident.
    Nobody could think of the art performance as a grave situation in which a war would break out any moment was created in the country owing to the "Pueblo" incident.
    The official honestly told him that they did not pay attention to the art performance due to the tense situation.
    Listening to him, the leader said that they were wrong and they, with greater courage, should prepare the functions in a larger scale.
    Indicating how to continue the preparation for the celebration activities, he stressed that the more arrogantly the enemy acted, bringing the dark cloud of war to the Korean Peninsula, the more composedly we should pit ourselves against him.
    The official could hardly believe his ears. The leader instructed him that we should sing songs more loudly, rocking the mountains and rivers of the country, and hold cheerful sports games, thus striking terror into the heart of the enemy.
    The whole country was again in festive mood.
    Thanks to such matchless courage and grit of Kim Jong Il, the Korean people are now vigorously advancing toward the victory of the socialist cause, meeting all challenges of the enemy.
