NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 195

Yamamoto Crisis (6)

The Joseon Army (Japanese Army) Command Headquarters in Yongsan.

There were dark clouds gathering over this place.

From the North, telegrams were sent without rest, and Yongsan Command also sent replies without rest.

In a room filled with the sound of blaring telegrams, the only person sitting leisurely was Commander Shinnosuke.

However, it was not completely relaxed.

‘The news from Wonsan is late… … Wasn’t it already 5 minutes ago that they announced that they were going to attack?’

‘Did they really attack? Shouldn’t they give the order to cancel the attack right now?’

‘His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured by a socialist’s bullet… … Is it right to move during this time?’

‘What if the Navy guys run away to the mainland without even bothering to fight us? Then, it’ll be a total bust… … .’

Commander Shinnosuke waited anxiously for news from the north, his legs trembling.

“dismissal!”

“You came!”

Commander Shinnosuke jumped up at the voice calling his name.

Then he harassed the adjutant.

“So, what happened in the North? Did Admiral Hara finally raise both hands and surrender? Did he put everything down and admit his mistakes?”

“Uh… … . That’s not it.”

“What?! Then, what is it!”

“Hey, I heard the Governor-General sent some bread… … .”

Commander Shinnosuke tilted his head at his adjutant’s words.

“Bread? What kind of bread all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know either. Suddenly, trucks came in and forced their way in, saying they were sent by His Excellency the Governor.”

“What about the inspection? Did they do a inspection?”

“That’s… … . There were so many trucks… … . And we’re a bit short on manpower right now… … .”

“So you did it or you couldn’t do it?”

“… … I couldn’t.”

Commander Shinnosuke touched his forehead.

The adjutant hurriedly made an excuse at that sight.

“Well, at least I isolated it in one place!”

“Quarantine? Where did you get quarantined to say that?”

“First, at the parade ground in front of the headquarters… … .”

Commander Shinnosuke, who had been holding back his anger, finally burst out at the adjutant’s words.

“Right in front of the headquarters? Do you even think about it? Is that thing hanging from your neck just there to hang your hat!!!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“If you’re sorry, where does military life end? Tell me, did I ask you to do too much? Huh? Just do what I tell you and that’s it!”

“I’m sorry… … .”

“If you say sorry one more time, I will rip your mouth open.”

Shinnosuke was furious, but he did not lose his temper and act like an animal because he was in front of his soldiers and his position as commander.

“Go there right now and investigate in detail where those guys came from and what they do!”

“All right!”

But it didn’t seem necessary to do that.

Clang!

The window broke and something flew in from outside.

“Protect Your Majesty… … .”

Cheeeeek… … .

Something flew in from outside and began rolling on the ground, emitting a cloud of smoke.

It looked like something I’d seen somewhere.

“This is… … !”

“Your Majesty, it’s dangerous… … . Crackle!”

“Ugh ugh!! Ugh!!!”

“Kuaaaahhhh!!!!”

They all grabbed their throats as if they had inhaled poison gas, and rolled on the floor, twisting their whole bodies in agony.

However, Commander Shinnosuke had been in a similar situation before, so he quickly soaked a handkerchief in water and covered his nose and mouth.

“Go, Your Majesty… … . Live… … .”

dump.

Even Commander Shinnosuke’s adjutant, who had been holding out until the very end, collapsed from the gas.

Now there was no one in this room to guard him.

“Hello, it’s been a while, Your Majesty.”

At that moment, someone walked out of the smoky smoke.

He was heavily armed, wearing a yellow army uniform, a black coat, and a black gas mask on his face… … .

“The Ghost of Gyeongseong… …!”

“This is Major Daisuke Tsugimoto.”

“… … .”

Commander Shinnosuke quickly put his hand on his waist and tried to draw his pistol.

puck!

“Ugh.”

Then, a solid wooden buttstock was stuck in his side, and his posture collapsed.

“Disarmament completed.”

“Please clean the inside of the building too.”

“yes.”

When Commander Shinnosuke raised his head, he saw a crowd of people that seemed to number at least several dozen people.

They were all standing guard, carrying gas masks and rifles or somewhat shorter guns.

“Kehek… … . Kkuk kkuk… … .”

“It seems that Your Excellency the Commander has inhaled some gas. This will make it difficult to talk, so please put on a gas mask.”

“Yes, sir.”

Commander Shinnosuke, who had been hit hard in the side and had inhaled gas, was coughing for a while before he was able to breathe a little better when someone put a gas mask on him.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“… … .”

Shinnosuke stared at the ghost of Gyeongseong without saying a word.

“Oh my, that’s scary… … Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

“Are you here to kill me?”

“Yes? Why would I harm Your Excellency the Commander? And Your Excellency is not yet big enough to be my prey.”

“… … .”

While he was relieved that the ghost of Gyeongseong had not come to kill him, he was also greatly disappointed by the fact that he was not the type of person who could become a target for the ghost.

“Are you having a hard time these days?”

“… … ?”

Shinnosuke’s face suddenly filled with doubt at the question the ghost posed.

“The juniors are coming up from below, but the seniors above have no intention of giving up… … . The Navy guys are as stiff-necked as their superiors, isn’t it just a pain in the ass?”

“… … .”

“There are some crazy terrorists out there who have been running wild and destroying troops and equipment during my term, so I can’t help but get angry.”

“… … .”

Shinnosuke wanted to kill this guy who was making a dent in his insides right away.

But even if he got angry and started to run wild, I knew he would be subdued in an instant just like before, so I let it go.

Don’t fight a losing battle.

Isn’t that the condition of a great master?

In that sense, although Lieutenant General Shinnosuke had many failures and hardships, can he be called a great general?

In any case, Shinnosuke himself considered himself a master.

Confidence and courage.

Wouldn’t that be the most important thing to the Japanese military?

That is why Shinnosuke made the courageous choice to temporarily put down his high pride and honor, like Mt. Fuji, for the sake of his own life.

What is that?

It just meant to keep your mouth shut.

Meanwhile, the ghost continued to speak.

“Our independence army needs weapons and ammunition for temporary use in Gyeongseong, and we would like to borrow them here in Yongsan.”

“… … .”

“Please nod if you agree.”

Nod.

Commander Shinnosuke nodded bravely.

Which Japanese soldier in the world would put his life before his honor?

His actions were extremely courageous.

“I will clean the item and return it to you.”

“… … .”

Commander Shinnosuke did not believe his words.

Because not a single thing that fell into that guy’s hands ever came back.

Just like any other thug in the world who extorts money from people in the alley and says that he is not extorting money, but borrowing money and never giving it back, this guy probably intends to just say that he is borrowing money and then swallow it.

‘But there are still quite a few troops left in the unit… … . If this news spreads outside… … !’

Commander Shinnosuke held onto a small glimmer of hope.

but.

“The command building has been taken over.”

“Didn’t the alarm sound?”

“Yes, they all took a sip of gas and started shaking like loaches before collapsing.”

“Well done.”

His hopes were very wicked.

Because he betrayed his master every time.

The back of Shinnosuke’s head had already been leveled for a long time.

“Phew… … . Okay! Then, let’s just pack our things and leave… … . Oops! I forgot that.”

The leader of the gang of thieves who were robbing the army took off his gas mask and thrust his face right in front of Commander Shinnosuke’s nose.

The face hidden behind the gas mask was, of course, not that of Major Tsugimoto.

It was a face he was seeing for the first time too.

But his voice… … was that of Major Tsugimoto, whom I had heard so well.

“dismissal.”

Then he looked into my eyes for a long time as if asking me to remember his face.

“Are you aware that a New Year’s speech will be held in front of the new Government-General building in a few days?”

“… … .”

“You have to answer, right?”

The ghost spoke in a soft voice, but to Commander Shinnosuke it felt like a large lump of iron was pressing down on his chest.

“Oh, I know.”

“Even if you say you’re sick that day, or you just don’t feel like going… … . Just get out of there cleverly. Got it?”

“… … ?”

“You absolutely must not attend the New Year’s address. Do you understand?”

Commander Shinnosuke thought deeply.

Why did the ghost of Gyeongseong reveal his face, and why did he tell me not to attend the New Year’s address?

“Okay, I’ll be going now. If you don’t want to get shot for no reason, don’t follow me.”

Before Commander Shinnosuke could finish his thoughts, the ghost left the place.

The commander, left alone like that, was still lost in thought.

Because there was nothing in particular to do.

‘You showed your face… Does that mean you’re confident you won’t get caught? If not… ‘

For a moment, a creepy thought crossed my mind.

‘S, no way… … . Are you declaring that you will kill me… … ?’

It is often said that violent criminals who have committed heinous crimes hate having their faces sold.

That is why he said that if there is someone who knows the face, the criminal’s mindset is to find that person somehow and kill them without fail.

That means… … .

‘Oh no! The ghost of Gyeongseong is after me!’

Then, the next thing I said made sense.

The ghost’s words telling me not to attend the New Year’s speech.

‘If the police and soldiers from Gyeongseong keep leaving out the New Year’s speech, they must be targeting me when I’m alone!’

Commander Shinnosuke trembled with fear.

* * *

“I loaded everything!”

“Okay! Let’s go!”

Bang bang bang.

After filling the truck with the necessary items from the Japanese military warehouse, I knocked on the trunk a few times and the truck started moving with a loud engine noise.

Now all I have to do is get my body out.

“Okay, should we go out now?”

“Teacher, I have a question.”

“hmm?”

As I was leaving Yongsan Base, Captain Hong Yong-hwan asked me a question.

“I was talking about the headquarters building earlier. Why did you take off your gas mask in front of the North Korean commander? If you do that, your identity will be revealed.”

“Ah. That? There’s no particular reason, it’s just that I think it’s polite to face each other when working with other people.”

“Oh, is that a courtesy? Then why did you tell the commander of the Joseon army not to come to the New Year’s celebration? Wouldn’t it be better to eliminate both the governor and the commander at the same time?”

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to eliminate the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief of the Korean Army (Japanese Army) at the same time.

but.

“Then there will be too much confusion.”

“Are you confused?”

“Yeah, it’s easy to cut off all the heads, but it’s hard to clean up the chaos that follows.”

At the moment, only Governor-General Saito and Commander Shinnosuke can control the Japanese naval and army forces in the north.

Even if one of the two died, the surviving one could use its own forces to keep the other in check, so for now, it was enough to keep one of the two alive.

“So, sir, you have decided to save the commander of the Joseon army.”

“yes.”

“Can I ask why that is?”

“Why?”

I answered as I climbed into the passenger seat of the truck.

“Shinnosuke is easier to deal with than Governor Saito!”
