NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 205

Clouds under the hill (5)

When the situation in Yongsan became tense, troops scattered throughout Gyeongseong rushed to Yongsan at once.

Commanding this force is Lieutenant General Shinnosuke Kikuchi, martial law commander and commander of the Korean Army (Japanese Army).

“after…….”

Commander Shinnosuke let out a deep sigh as soon as he arrived at the scene.

The staff and senior officers on the scene were so anxious about the commander’s deep sighs that they could barely breathe properly.

Shinnosuke also felt like sighing at the sight of his staff members watching him closely, but he held it in for now and moved on.

‘If this was something that could be solved by losing your temper here, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place… … .’

Commander Shinnosuke had already calmed down to some extent as he returned to Yongsan.

‘If the ghost of Gyeongseong is going to personally come out and take hostages… … then he must have prepared some kind of operation or scheme that I don’t know about.’

Commander Shinnosuke didn’t know what it was, but he wanted to end it with as little damage as possible.

* * *

Yongsan Joseon Army (Japanese Army) Command Center.

“You don’t have any plans…?”

“Yeah, it’s X.”

Captain Hong and other independence army soldiers looked at me with expressions like they were asking if there was such a person.

“So… … you really don’t have any plans?”

“I told you so. I was originally planning to just sneak the items over and then go back.”

“… … .”

My original plan was to return the items I had borrowed to Yongsan Base and scout out the inside of the base so I could sneak in again later.

“But the plan went awry along the way.”

“Is it because of the officer I met at the entrance?”

“huh.”

There were more than a few things that made me angry while running around the site, but I endured them all.

Why? Because if I didn’t hold back, the mission itself would go awry.

But for some reason I couldn’t bear it today.

If you ask me whether the officer’s provocation was enough to grate my nerves, I would say no.

I’ve met a lot of guys worse than that in the past.

‘Why couldn’t you bear it?’

I had this question too.

But if you think about it, the answer was simple.

‘Ah, so there was no reason to endure it in the first place!’

In the past, there was a reason to endure in order to carry out a mission, but today there was no such reason.

The reason I came here in the first place was to return the items I had borrowed from Commander Shinnosuke a while ago, and to gather some useful items from the warehouse. I also planned to light a fire for the Japanese soldiers in case they were cold on this cold winter day, and take a quick look around the base to check for any vulnerabilities.

But seeing the entrance being so open and being insulted from the start, my thoughts changed a bit.

“Do you really have no plans?”

“For now, that’s true.”

I didn’t have any particular thoughts right now.

But I’m not really worried or anything.

Looking at the state of the Japanese army, it is impossible to suppress them by force even if we beat them to death.

so…….

“It’s our turn now.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“That’s right. We’re the ones in charge, so why should we be anxious and come up with countermeasures?”

“… … ?”

Captain Hong didn’t seem to understand what I was saying.

“The Japanese army is just now swarming outside like a swarm of ants and surrounding the area. Are you saying we are the ones taking the lead?”

“No matter how many ants gather together, they are just ants.”

“Teacher Lee!”

Captain Hong seemed to be quite frustrated with this situation.

“Why are you yelling and all? Calm down a bit, you don’t have enough.”

“Isn’t it frustrating right now? Outside, the enemies are surrounding us and there’s no way to escape!”

Captain Hong looked quite angry.

“What is needed at times like this is a change of mindset.”

“What strange things are you trying to say again… … .”

“What a strange thing to say. Think about it, Captain Hong.”

Currently, Shinnosuke’s martial law forces are, strictly speaking, troops that were ‘dispatched’ to Gyeongseong not for combat but for maintaining public order.

“Do you think I don’t even know that?”

“You know, I’m just so angry right now that I can’t calm down, so I can’t think.”

“?”

When the martial law army marched into Gyeongseong, did they take a lot of ammunition and food with them?

The answer is no.

Gyeongseong and Yongsan are so close that the saying goes, “If you fall down, your noses will touch.”

So, if any problem arises in Gyeongseong, all we have to do is mobilize the troops and supplies in Yongsan.

“Where are we now?”

“… … .”

It’s Yongsan.

So, Commander Shinnosuke’s martial law forces do not have any of the supplies the military needs.

Well, we may have some ammunition to use right now, but what can we do with that?

If they came close to attacking the base, we could just respond with machine guns and cannons.

“… … .”

“We’re not trapped here, Captain Hong.”

Rather, it is they who are trapped.

The Joseon army (Japanese army) was trapped in Joseon.

“Isn’t it fun?”

“Huh… … . What is this… … . I don’t know what to say.”

“Then just laugh.”

“Heh heh… … .”

“haha!”

“Heh heh heh… … .”

“ha ha ha!!”

* * *

Shouts were heard from the command center made of a makeshift tent outside the Yongsan base.

Naturally, the owner of this voice was Commander Shinnosuke, whose face turned red.

“What!!! You don’t have any ammunition or food right now?! Are you saying that!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“What on earth have you all been doing up until now?! You guys who are supposed to be soldiers, you went to war without even bringing bullets, right now!!!”

“I’m sorry… … .”

“If you’re truly sorry, don’t just say it. Show your sincerity by cutting open your stomach!”

When the talk of committing seppuku was openly brought up, the staff all kept their mouths shut and remained silent.

The sight of these staff officers made Commander Shinnosuke even more angry.

But even if he was angry, nothing changed.

I just got angry.

“Huh… … Are there no countermeasures?”

“… … .”

“I’m sorry. I think I overestimated your abilities.”

Of course, there was no way there could be a solution.

“If we attack the enemy, it’s obvious that we’ll lose… … But if we just sit around like this, we’ll all starve to death.”

It was truly crazy and mind-boggling.

However, Commander Shinnosuke, who had already vented all his inner anger, asked his staff members indifferently.

“I don’t think they’ll come up with any solutions, but I’m sure they can at least give us some useful information to help us overcome this situation. Isn’t that right?”

“There will still be a significant number of soldiers inside the base.”

“Not all of those people would have been caught… … .”

“Should we expect the remaining personnel to fight well and respond when we attack?”

Commander Shinnosuke snorted.

It was because I felt so pathetic for believing in these things and trying to do something about them.

“They say there has been a period of peace for quite some time now… … but I didn’t know the level of the staff would drop to this level.”

Commander Shinnosuke let out a long sigh.

Although the command and officers have been replaced several times due to various reasons, this is the first time the quality has declined to this extent.

‘The future of the Empire of Japan is dark… ‘

The ghost of Gyeongseong was a problem, but there was an even bigger problem.

‘It’s just one guy… … . It’s just one guy… … !’

The Governor-General’s Office and the military are being swayed by that one guy.

Does this make sense?

Of course, it is an absurd situation.

Hundreds of soldiers have now been captured, disarmed and taken hostage by a single terrorist.

If we are not careful, we are on the verge of a major accident that is unprecedented in Japanese history… no, in world history.

‘And yet these fools… … !’

Shinnosuke looked at his staff.

But no one made eye contact with him.

Everyone tried to avoid eye contact for fear of having their books grabbed.

‘I’m going crazy! I’m really going crazy.’

Commander Shinnosuke sighed.

“after.”

Then everyone was surprised and looked at the commander’s face.

Shinnosuke looked at them with pity and immediately gave an order.

“Suppression with force is impossible, and it’s hard to buy time like this… … . The only thing left is negotiation.”

“Your Majesty, the negotiations are a bit… … .”

“It may be presumptuous of me to ask this, but negotiating with the Bulyeongseonin could easily give the impression that you have surrendered to them.”

The people who had been keeping their mouths shut and avoiding Commander Shinnosuke’s gaze until just a moment ago began to collectively protest at the mention of negotiation.

And at this sight, Commander Shinnosuke’s anger finally exploded again.

“Then come up with a solution!!!”

His rebuke caused his staff to shut their mouths again, and they never opened their mouths again.

* * *

So Commander Shinnosuke sent us a rather smart guy as his representative.

“Your actions are crimes that cannot be tolerated by the Empire of Japan, but in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Korean Army (Japanese Army), General Shinnosuke Kikuchi, I humbly forgive you all, so I ask that you surrender at the earliest possible date and release the hostages.”

They said they would just let them go, so release the hostages and surrender.

“… … .”

“… … .”

I was curious about what conditions he had brought when he said he came to negotiate, but this was beyond what I expected.

“… …Should I kick you out?”

“Sprinkle some salt too.”

In this way, Commander Shinnosuke’s special envoy was dragged out by the independence army soldiers.

“Whew… … Do the Japanese soldiers still not understand reality?”

“They probably know that too. But since there’s nothing they can do right now, they’re probably forcing themselves into negotiations.”

“hmm.”

In fact, there was nothing Commander Shinnosuke could do at this point.

They were not in a position to gain an advantage over us, nor did they have enough power to overpower us, and they certainly couldn’t hold out until we died of their own accord.

“If we think of a way… … . The only thing we can do is to quickly bring the troops in the north over here… … .”

“Wouldn’t that be difficult? Right now, you’re in a standoff with the Navy.”

“yes.”

It was busy there as it was.

According to the information I have obtained, the army and navy were in the process of exchanging fire, fanning the flames of Japanese-style camaraderie between the shells flying back and forth.

So the chances of them moving south right now are close to zero.

“Then, you really have nothing to give me?”

“Yes.”

“Huh, really… … I’m going to hit a goal.”

“That will happen.”

I could clearly see Commander Shinnosuke’s face, looking like he was going crazy from frustration.

Just imagining it brought a smile to my face.

“But isn’t it true that we can’t stay here forever?”

“That too.”

But we weren’t always at ease.

“There’s nothing to be gained by occupying this space and wasting time, and we can’t stay here forever, right?”

“That too.”

As a member of the independence army, I couldn’t just sit here and die my whole life.

Although I am just borrowing their strength for a moment, these people were clearly ‘soldiers’ under the command of General Kim Gyeong-cheon and Comrade Kim Dong-sam.

I already told Comrade Kim Dong-sam in advance, but if you treat these people like your servants, they will inevitably talk too.

The agents here also have families in the North, so it’s a bit unfortunate to have them operate in a foreign land for so long.

“So, it’s better to plan an escape operation in advance… … .”

“I already have that planned out.”

“yes?”
