NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 239

Beginning of Spring (1)

It wasn’t difficult to get Mutaguchi in his place.

All I had to do was call them, have them sit down, and create a slightly threatening atmosphere.

The name “Ghost of Gyeongseong” was enough to intimidate Captain Mutaguchi.

I slightly suppressed Mutaguchi with a sense of pressure, and then I set the mood by gently lifting him up.

“… … But why did a person who is like a ghost of Gyeongseong come looking for someone like me?”

“I told you earlier. I just wanted to see the hero who survived the Battle of Tokyo at the Navy Ministry.”

“A hero who turned things around… …. He’s just a loser.”

“Huh, you say I’m a loser?”

I planted distrust in Mutaguchi’s heart.

I pointed out to Mutaguchi, who was slightly discouraged by his failure in Tokyo, the reason for his failure.

“Didn’t you know that? The Navy already knew that the Army was going to raid the Admiralty.”

“What, what did you say?!”

Mutaguchi asked me back, very surprised, as if it was the first time he had heard of it.

‘Of course this is the first time you’re hearing this story.’

This is a story I made up.

Of course, the Navy was unaware of the Army’s movements.

No, I might have known.

But I don’t know their circumstances.

why?

‘I’ve never even been to Japan, so how would I know?’

But the name Gyeongseong Ghost gave my words more credibility.

“… … Are you saying that there is a naval spy within the army right now?”

“Oh my… … I don’t know about that. Just think of it as nonsense coming out of me while I was drunk.”

I played along as if I was joking, fueling Mutaguchi’s suspicions.

‘Doubt it… … . Doubt it more… … .’

I looked at Mutaguchi, who had a worried expression on his face, and smiled secretly.

“Well, let’s shake off that nonsense and have some more alcohol this moonlit night.”

In my opinion, the Japanese Empire was not an opponent that could be easily overcome simply by defeating a few armies and causing internal chaos.

In particular, I felt it deeply in this battle.

‘Even though I fully supported the independence army, the damage here will not be small since they are waging an all-out war with the Japanese army.’

The independence army is an organization that would later become the foundation of the national army.

So, we need to save as many people as possible.

But in one battle, soldiers and officers were dying one after another… …. I had no choice but to change my thoughts.

‘No matter how much you strengthen your forces, there is a clear limit.’

This was the same for the Japanese military.

It’s not like they have an unlimited budget, and the Japanese Empire has to take into account its own internal circumstances and other matters.

But even taking all that into account, the fact remains that the low point of the Japanese Empire is at our high point.

‘Wow… Even though the country has been turned into such a mess, I still can’t believe we’re having a hard time fighting head-on… ‘

This battle showed that the independence army could easily fight the Japanese army if conditions were right.

However, it was somewhat shocking that the Japanese army suffered such great damage despite having reduced its strength so much.

‘Even if it’s rotten, it’s still a good thing… … No matter how much of a crisis they face, is it still the army of a great power?’

Also, thinking about it that way, it was amazing that people from a colony without a country raised an army and destroyed the regular armies of the great powers.

‘It must be because it’s been a little over half a year since the Korean Independence Army was re-established.’

No matter what, what the independence army and the Shanghai Provisional Government ultimately needed was time to lay a foundation and take full-scale action.

“Well, well! I went to Hideki Tojo and asked him why I had to go to a low-ranking position. Do you know what the author, who is your senior, said?”

“well.”

“I’ll call you again later. If I do something good, I’ll call you again, right?”

“So that means you have no intention of calling in the end.”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying!”

And what I’m trying to do now is to buy time.

“That’s right… … . To be honest, even though I’m talking drunk, if we look at the merits of this battle, isn’t Captain Mutaguchi the best among the Japanese soldiers?”

“Haha! Why are you praising a loser? You’re not even making fun of people… … .”

“No. I am seriously convinced that if you, Mutaguchi, had been promoted, this battle would have been a defeat for our forces.”

“Thank you for your words.”

Mutaguchi smiled broadly, seeming pleased by my compliment.

“Just think about it. When you crossed the Tumen River, do you think we didn’t know about it? Of course we did.”

I praised Mutaguchi’s achievements by picking up each of his balls.

Of course, this was a bit of an exaggeration and a lie… … . Mutaguchi’s ears perked up because his judgment was clouded by the alcohol.

“Captain Mutaguchi’s reconnaissance company was thoroughly searching the surrounding area, making it difficult to deploy large forces.”

“Heh heh… … .”

“Only a couple of people were able to hide and avoid surveillance.”

After that, I continued to praise Mutaguchi by mentioning his various achievements, and every time I praised him, the corners of Mutaguchi’s mouth went up.

And lastly.

“… … When our forces attacked the 14th Division at night, didn’t they use just one company of soldiers to force our independence fighters to retreat?”

“Haha! That’s true. It was quite funny to see them run away naked with only a few dozen troops.”

By the time I finished praising him.

Mutaguchi would believe me even if I said that shit was miso.

-widely!

I put down my glass and sighed.

“Whew… … Why on earth is the Japanese military such a mess?”

“Uh… … . I think so too.”

“Soldiers who are supposed to protect the country are interfering with the political front and acting like politicians. Aren’t they all just concerned with their own greed?”

“Umm… … .”

Mutaguchi nodded and agreed with what I said.

“And the people who are supposed to protect the citizens are actually the ones who are hostile to the citizens… … . This is it… … . Is this right?”

“No, that’s seriously wrong.”

“Haha… … Isn’t it because all the nobles who said that it was all Yushin died during the Yushin and the scum and cowards took their places?”

“That’s right. There’s nothing wrong with what this teacher said.”

Mutaguchi focused on what I was saying.

I also focused on what I was saying.

If possible, I told him the truth about the current situation in Japan, which made him feel frustrated, but also let him know that there was still hope.

“To be honest, how smart are the young people in Japan today? In the old days of the shogunate, there was no system or discipline and everything was chaotic, but now they are all smart because they have received systematic education.”

“Yes. The Army University is the pride of the Empire of Japan.”

I told him that I felt really sorry.

“Oh my… … It’s really a shame that such smart people can’t do well because of the stupid old people above them.”

“… … .”

“Even Captain Mutaguchi is like that. He was a good student and had great abilities, but he couldn’t get promoted because of the people above him.”

“… … .”

Mutaguchi drank his alcohol without saying a word.

Moscow.

It is the center of the revolution and the place where all the communists from around the world want to visit at least once.

At the center of this revolution was the Knights Templar, who sought to protect the revolution… … .

They are the Soviet Politburo.

The Soviet Politburo, which eliminated all suspicious individuals regardless of whether they were foreigners or citizens, in order to protect the Soviet Union and communism, was nothing less than a symbol of fear.

Such a master of the Soviet Politburo.

Felix Dzerzhinsky was carefully scanning the reports coming in from the far East.

One belonged to Agent Victoria, whom he cherished and loved like a daughter, and the other belonged to Branch Manager Beria, who was exceptional in ability alone.

“Although the outline of the content is similar, there are differences in the details.”

Dzerzhinsky glanced with interest at the reports lined up on his desk.

“The branch manager said that although we can cooperate with this Mr. Lee from Gyeongseong, it is dangerous to keep him close… … On the contrary, Victoria said that we should keep him close and bring him to our side. Hehe.”

A laugh escaped Dzerzhinsky’s lips.

He looked back and forth between the two reports for a while, then fell into thought for a moment.

‘There is continued friction between Koreans and Japanese in the East.’

And according to the information he had heard, Beria even used Trotsky’s connections to help the Koreans.

Thanks to this, the Japanese side is now making a fuss about the Soviet Union interfering in Japanese internal affairs.

‘Looking at the Japanese running wild, it seems they have suffered great losses in the east… … We should get information from sources inside Japan.’

During his tenure, Dzerzhinsky actively utilized homegrown communists around the world to build an intelligence network.

Although not yet perfect, they have managed to establish an intelligence network in Eastern and Central Europe, the major powers such as Britain, the United States, and France, and parts of Asia.

Thanks to this, information coming in through their eyes and ears flowed all the way to Moscow, so Dzerzhinsky could get all the news from around the world from where he sat.

In his opinion… … .

‘The Ghost of Gyeongseong… … This guy is destroying the rigid balance of Asia.’

Meanwhile, Asia was a place where the overwhelming power of the Japanese Empire was wielding its power here and there, manipulating other Asians.

Of course, in a few more years, the Federation or China may have grown more and upset this balance.

But in his judgment, no one could break this balance right now.

But the ghost of Gyeongseong.

The author suddenly appeared in the world and declared war on Japan, the strongest power in Asia, and destroyed their hegemony.

Well, if we really look at it, the Japanese Empire’s hegemony was still there, but… … their power was not what it used to be.

Even within the Soviet military, the defeatist mindset that they would definitely be defeated if they faced the Japanese military has been greatly diluted.

There was also the Kuomintang of the Republic of China, which was currently preparing to advance north.

Two Chinese nationalists, Chiang Kai-shek and Sun Yat-sen, are preparing for war, knowingly or unknowingly receiving support from phantom subordinates disguised as merchants.

When I put this situation aside.

We cannot help but reach this conclusion.

‘The map of Asia is about to change.’

As existing hegemonies are shaken, new challengers are rising in momentum.

The ancient Greek historian Thucydides said that friction arises in such situations.

‘War… … . War… … .’

Even in Europe, where the Great War has just ended, war clouds still linger.

France and Belgium occupy the Ruhr region of the Weimar Republic, drawing criticism from Britain and the United States, who were allies of the Germans.

‘I don’t think war will break out over something like that.’

But France’s actions showed that they still viewed the Germans as a potential enemy.

So are the Germans just taking it?

no!

“Whew… … . The world is complicated.”

Dzerzhinsky pushed Beria’s report aside.
