The great leader Kim Jong Il performed the immortal exploits for the strengthening and development of the Korean People's Army.
In the mid-1990s, he made an uninterrupted journey based on Songun (military-first) politics in order to resolutely frustrate the tenacious isolation and suffocation moves of the enemy and strengthen the KPA.
In November 1996 he got on a small speedboat to the Cho Islet in the West Sea of Korea.
The weather was very bad from the early morning.
So officials earnestly requested him to visit the islet on a fine day later for his field guidance.
Kim Jong Il, however, set out on the road of his field guidance, saying that no fierce storm could block his way to the soldiers and the soldiers were waiting for him.
That day, cameramen accompanied him but failed to take a picture of him on the sea route to the islet.
Huge waves tossed up much spray before striking the speedboat hard. The small speedboat pitched and rolled and fluctuated up and down in the raging waves many a time.
It was difficult for them to keep balance aboard the boat and furthermore, cameras were damaged. After all, they could not take a picture of the voyage to the Cho Islet. It proves how arduous and dangerous the road covered by him was.
The historic voyage made by Kim Jong Il on the day was left on the sea of Korea.
The service personnel of the Korean People's Army could stoutly grow into invincible warriors thanks to the uninterrupted journey of Songun he made for them.
The long journey of Songun made by Kim Jong Il will be remembered forever along with the history of victory of the KPA.
