NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 176

The famous snake (4)

Men are usually incredibly intelligent creatures, but sometimes their intelligence drops below the mitochondrial level.

In particular, this temperament becomes even more serious the moment one enters the military, and in severe cases, there have been frequent reports of people experiencing a decline in intelligence just by wearing a military uniform.

The reason I’m saying this all of a sudden is…

“Are you sure you can actually eat this?”

“That’s right, that’s what I mean.”

“It’s all the same alcohol anyway, so what’s the problem with drinking it other than a bit of a headache?”

“Um… … . Alcohol can kill you if you drink it wrong.”

“What? Huh, really! Did this kid really graduate from Dongguk University? I’ve never seen anyone die from drinking around me.”

“This isn’t alcohol.”

“It’s alcohol from the moment we decide to drink it.”

“Oh… … . Is that a cool word?”

Here are five men huddled together.

They each held in their hands a match, an alcohol lamp, and a small key.

“Light the fire quickly.”

“You crazy bastard! What do you think will happen if you light a fire here?”

They were now standing in a row in a corridor deep inside the battleship.

“well……?”

“If someone comes down here smelling something burning and gets caught, what do you think will happen?”

“Uh… … Is something bad going on??”

“You go get shot with a military baton.”

“Ah! Yes, I see.”

One of the five idiots took a small, silvery key out of his pocket.

“Don’t you know what this is?”

“You idiot, that’s a key. Don’t you know what a key is? That’s inedible.”

“Ugh, you idiot! You think I’m going to eat the key when I’ve been shot in the head? Of course I brought it to open the door.”

“Why are you opening the door? Oh! Are you going to get some snacks from the kitchen pantry? That would be great.”

“Ugh… … You annoying person! That’s not it. We’re just trying to find a place where we can sneak out and drink together!”

“behind?”

In the military, no matter how good a college graduate you were, you were no different from your peers who had barely graduated from elementary school and lived their whole lives digging the ground in the countryside.

“Hoo… … What happens if you light a fire on a boat without permission?”

“You get called in and beaten up.”

“I don’t know why it’s right?”

“How would you know if I beat you up without saying anything?”

“… … That’s true, but originally, if we started a fire on the ship without permission and it started to burn everywhere, we would all be dead.”

“Ah… … . Huh? But battleships are all made of iron. Can iron catch fire?”

“I don’t know, you little punk! I guess it’s just like that!”

The idiot at Dongguk University, who was more curious than other idiots, eventually kept his mouth shut due to the persecution of his peers.

Anyway, the one among the five idiots who had the key put the key in the door that said “Ammunition Depot” and turned it slightly to the side.

Then the door opened as if Alibaba and the forty thieves were opening a cave door.

Inside, large shells for the battleship’s main guns and various secondary guns were stacked in a row, leading to the largest main guns on the battleship.

“Why the ammunition depot?”

“There’s nothing to light here, and unless it’s an operation, no officers or non-commissioned officers come.”

“ah……!”

“Wow, are you a genius?”

Battleship shells are made of strong metal, so they won’t catch fire.

There is no place in the ship where anyone higher than the new recruits will come.

It’s the perfect place to hide and eat something.

At least that’s what the five idiots here thought.

“Come in quickly!”

“Stop whining!”

“Did you bring a lamp?”

“uh.”

“What about the matches?”

“here!”

“Okay… … . Hey! Glasses guy, it’s your turn.”

The Dongguk University idiot stepped forward, adjusting his glasses.

The idiot took the lamp and carefully poured the alcohol inside into the bowl he had brought earlier.

Then he carefully lit a fire on it.

Afterwards, using the tools I had prepared in advance and going through a few more steps, the object that looked absolutely inedible was transformed into something that people could eat.

“Now… … . If I just do this… … . That’s it.”

“Ugh… … . How long has it been since I drank this much!”

“Me first! Me first! Nana!”

“Oh, of course I have to eat this first since I’m the oldest here.”

“What age order is this in the military! Stop talking nonsense and just give me my things!”

The other four idiots were busy drinking like crazy, enjoying the taste of alcohol for the first time in a long time, but the Donggyeong University idiot didn’t like alcohol to begin with, and the other idiots wanted to keep drinking, so the Donggyeong University idiot kept pouring the lamp and pouring the contents into a bowl, creating something that looked like alcohol.

One of the four idiots, who was chugging down a strange liquid that looked like alcohol but definitely wasn’t alcohol, asked the others in a slurred voice whether he was drunk or had lost his mind.

“Hey. Does anyone have anything to eat? I feel sick from drinking alcohol without any side dishes… … .”

“Side dishes? Why not? Of course there are!”

Then, as if he had been waiting, an idiot opened a paper envelope he had brought in advance.

Inside it was a pure white powder, and everyone tilted their heads when they saw the powder.

“what’s this?”

“You ignorant country bumpkins… … . Don’t you even know what sugar is? You ignorant country bumpkins!”

“sugar?”

“Where did you get so many of those precious things?”

“Hehehe… … . I sneaked this with you when I was getting matches from the kitchen earlier~”

“What? Hey! This crazy guy! Hahahaha!”

Sugar was an ingredient that was not readily available in Japan.

So here you four idiots got excited and put their hands in the sugar, grabbed handfuls, and moved so hard that the bag almost tore.

“Hey! Hey! It’s all spilled!”

“So what! Just pick it up and eat it.”

“What a beggar.”

Everyone was happily shoveling the white powder they claimed was sugar into their mouths, but something was off.

“… … ?”

“???”

The sugar wasn’t sweet.

“Is this sugar?”

“I don’t think so?”

“Eww! Heh heh… … . What kind of taste is this!!”

The Dongguk University idiot, who had been watching your idiot’s reaction, carefully looked at the white powder that had fallen on the floor, and even took a bite of it.

“Hmm… … This isn’t sugar, it’s flour.”

“flour?”

“That thing the Yankees eat?”

“What goes into making bread, you ignorant bastards.”

“Ah… … . It’s flour.”

The four idiots scratched their heads as they looked at the flour scattered on the floor.

“But… … . I think I need to clean this up… … .”

“I have to clean it up.”

“Really? Then, I’ll get a broom and a sweeping brush.”

The idiot from Donggyeong University who had been brewing strange potions without even taking a breath quickly left the ammunition depot with the thought that he could finally rest.

The other idiots clicked their tongues without saying a word when they saw the usually slow guy moving as quickly as a rabbit.

“Tsk… … . You move around like that even normally.”

“That’s right, you know. You always act like you have a lot on your mind… … . You’re fast at times like this.”

“Ugh… … What more can I say? Stop it, just pour me a drink.”

“You follow me, you crazy bastard.”

But now that the idiot from Dongguk University who had been making the unidentified substance they claimed was alcohol had left, there was nothing left.

The four idiots who were thirsty for alcohol picked up the tool that the Dongguk University idiot was fiddling with a little while ago out of regret.

“Let’s make some more alcohol.”

“Can you do it?”

“It’s nothing special, I just lit a fire here… … .”

A fool lit a match.

But there was one thing they overlooked: the magazines they kept contained tiny pellets of gunpowder that often floated around.

This happened after several operations to support the army in Hamheung.

However, the ammunition depot was so large and had been ventilated several times that it was unlikely to explode from a single match this small.

However, due to the recent military discipline being disrupted by soldiers’ resentful internal affairs, which has resulted in restrictions on going out, staying out overnight, and taking vacations, there have been instances of soldiers forgetting to ventilate their cells, which they usually do well.

Anyway, it’s not like there’s anything big that can happen even if you forget a few times, and if you just ventilate it later anyway, there’s no problem.

Until now, that is.

Of course, so far these four idiots haven’t had any major problems.

But the flour that was scattered in the air a little while ago.

As it filled the gap left by the gunpowder lump, it scattered around, and due to the nature of the ship’s interior where there was little air circulation, it flew around the four fools.

There, just a little while ago, a Dongguk University idiot was handling methanol, and the rapidly vaporized methanol was slowly accumulating in the air.

In this situation, I lit a match with my hands covered in flour, so what happened next…?

* * *

A quiet and dark evening! How are you?

If you ask who I am, I am the ghost of Gyeongseong… no, the ghost of Heungnam!

Today, we are carrying out a sabotage mission at Heungnam Port.

I had planned to sneak onto the battleship after creating a gap in the Japanese Navy and Army’s security net by sowing discord between them, but the Navy responded with an extremely hard-line policy of banning all soldiers from going out or staying out overnight in an attempt to somehow eliminate friction, so I was making other plans.

‘Even so, I didn’t know that soldiers’ going out and staying out overnight would be controlled… ‘

I was astonished at the wickedness of the Japanese military’s upper echelons, who so carelessly took away the most precious thing to soldiers.

‘It seems like it’ll be hard to infiltrate the battleship in this situation… … Should I go into the engine room at night and scuttle the battleship?’

Now that all means are blocked.

The only way left was to infiltrate the battleship and sink it directly.

But now, those battleships were packed with sailors like a beehive full of bees, so if they made a mistake, there was a high chance they would die without even seeing the engines.

‘It’s also a problem to get close to the ship… … .’

Because Heungnam had not yet been fully developed, there were no facilities to accommodate large ships such as battleships.

That is why the battleship did not come all the way to Heungnam, but stopped at a port a little further away. And they used the small boats on the battleship to transport people and supplies.

‘Even if you swim, you still have to go hundreds of meters… … What if you jump in without a wetsuit in this cold winter… … .’

The winter sea is very cold.

I hadn’t checked the temperature yet, but it was probably going to be extremely cold, and if I jumped into the ocean without proper cold weather gear and went for a long swim, I would definitely get hypothermia.

“This won’t work, that won’t work… … . Phew… … .”

Nothing works.

So naturally, this thought occurred to me.

‘I wish that battleship over there would just explode… ‘

There is no need for both of them to explode.

If just one of the two explodes, we can use this to further divide the Army and Navy, and use the gap to infiltrate their security by making a hole in it.

but.

“That’s ridiculous.”

Since it was a story with a probability of reality approaching 0, I just laughed and took a cigarette out of my pocket and lit it.

And I lit the lighter, but it didn’t light properly, maybe because the gas was gone.

-Tch. Tch. Tch.

“Why is it like this?”

It seemed that the oil had run out because it had been used for a long time.

“Oh my… … . Please… … .”

-Tch. Tch. Tch.

After wrestling with the lighter for a while,

-Chiiik.

It turned on once or twice.

“It has to be like this.”

It was just a matter of lighting a lighter, but it felt good to be so absorbed in something that the problem was solved.

As I was trying to light the lighter with such difficulty, I reached out to the cigarette… … .

-!!!

For a moment, a bright light appeared in the east, and then a sudden strong wind blew and blew out the lighter.

And then.

-Kwaaaaang!!!

A tremendous explosion, so loud it felt like my eardrums would burst, rang in my ears.
