Undisguisable Greed (3)

If there was one thing I felt after wrestling with practical affairs for several years.

It was that I wasn't particularly talented in domestic affairs, except for historical changes.

For example, in the case of Joseon, I pursued neutrality with clear motives and purposes.

Although Minister Weber sent telegrams to St. Petersburg almost every other day, I made Joseon neutral (unlike Switzerland, where everyone's influence extended) without leaving any room for doubt.

However, when it came to general policies or laws rather than such historical changes, there were often times when judgment became ambiguous.

The current Jewish policy being pursued centered on the military was such a case - what I wanted was vaguely for the military to embrace Jews who had been excluded until now.

In 1880, twenty years ago, Jews had established their roots in the military to some extent.
