NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 253

The American Dream (1)

A large passenger ship.

A dark night where even the moon is hidden.

The sight of the huge passenger ship shining alone in the vast ocean looked like a lighthouse floating on the sea.

The splendid luxury cruise ship, like a floating hotel on the sea, moved forward, disrupting the sleep patterns of fish that were soundly sleeping in some unknown waters of the Pacific Ocean.

-with a plop.

But suddenly someone jumped from the boat into the sea.

No, someone threw another person into the sea from the top deck.

Not only did they tie him up tightly in case he tried to swim, they even made weights out of cement on his legs.

“Hoo… … . This is one person.”

The young man in blue overalls wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back at the people tied up on the deck.

“Let’s go quickly, since we don’t have much time.”

“Ugh, ugh… … . Ugh!!!”

The young man threw all the remaining people into the sea without a moment’s hesitation.

Because we moved so late in the night and made sure there was no one on deck before moving, no one directly saw anyone fall to the floor.

You might have heard something crashing into the sea from some of the audience, but you couldn’t find anyone who had gone down into the deep abyss on a dark night like today to meet the starfish and sponges that live in pineapple houses under the rocks.

“How is it?”

After finishing his work, the young man went straight to see Dr. Lee in the first-class cabin of the passenger ship.

“… … You really solved it all by yourself.”

“Well, it’s something I always do.”

“… … .”

The doctor must have been waiting for the young man late into the night, without sleeping, as various books and newspapers were strewn about on his desk.

“So why did you suddenly come to me and show off your skills?”

“Of course I want to persuade this doctor.”

“What are you trying to persuade me about? It looks to me like you’re going to throw me into the sea like those spies if you have to.”

“No matter what, I wouldn’t do that to my comrades.”

“Really? That makes it sound like you consider me a comrade.”

The tall young man smiled brightly and answered the doctor’s words.

“Of course, this doctor is also my comrade.”

“Really? Then what does our comrade want from me that he has appeared so gruesomely?”

“Of course I did not intend to threaten you, Dr. Lee. I just wanted to see you for a while, and today’s incident happened because I got caught up in the day-to-day business.”

“Is that so? For something like that… … . It seemed quite threatening.”

The doctor glanced out the window and saw the sea shrouded in darkness.

It was pitch black and he couldn’t see anything, but somehow the doctor saw bubbles rising from the sea.

“… … Are you going to America?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What are you going to do in America?”

“Um… … For now, it’s a secret.”

The word secret slightly furrowed the doctor’s forehead.

He didn’t like it when someone was hiding something from him.

I used to think that was the case, but since I recently learned of the secret treaty between the Empire of Japan and the United States of America, I have come to look upon someone with a slight distaste for keeping secrets.

“… … If you want to keep that kind of secrecy, I won’t stop you.”

However, the opponent was a person who supported the Shanghai Provisional Government and the independence army in Manchuria and revived them, and a person who single-handedly fought against the Japanese Empire and unilaterally defeated the great power.

He was a being who could hardly be called a single individual.

So rather than needlessly irritating them, I just laughed it off like I always did, pretended not to hear unpleasant things, and let it slide like a snake jumping over a wall.

No, I tried to let it flow.

“Yes, that’s why I need your help, Doctor.”

“… … ?”

“I’m saying this because I don’t have any money. Please help me out while I’m staying in America for a while.”

“Why are you giving that to me… … ?”

This doctor was simply astonished.

“There is someone else you take care of in America.”

“Why is that? That money originally came from the Hanseong government, and I was previously the president of the Hanseong government, so what’s wrong with me using that money?”

“Do I look like someone who would criticize this doctor for having something in his back pocket?”

“Then… … something.”

The young man smiled brightly.

“Please give me some support so that I can stay in the United States for a while.”

“… … .”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be here long.”

“… … .”

The doctor was speechless at the sight of the young man trying to rip him off with vulgar language like a thug in a dark alley in Gyeongseong.

“If I don’t listen to you… … . What, are you going to harm me?”

The young man shook his head.

“No. As I said earlier, I am a compassionate person to my comrades, so I would not do such a thing.”

“Then I also decline your offer… … .”

“But if I ever get in trouble with the FBI later on, I guess I can sell this doctor’s name.”

“what……?!”

“Isn’t it true that among comrades, there is no such thing as mine or yours?”

The doctor was speechless at his blatant statement that he would sell his name.

‘What on earth is that crazy guy trying to do in America… … .’

* * *

United States of America.

It is a land of opportunity, a land of brilliant flashes that brighten the dusky dawn, and at the same time a land of sin where countless heroes and swindlers are intertwined.

Today, countless people come to America to pursue their own ideals, freedom, or dreams.

“Is this America?”

The ghost of Gyeongseong, who had terrorized Gyeongseong, also set foot in America with a dream in his heart.

“… … .”

“Why do you look so sullen?”

In a situation where he was already feeling a little uneasy because of the constant nagging here and there, Dr. Lee grumbled with a displeased expression as he added another family member.

“Okay, come quickly.”

Mr. Lee of Gyeongseong, who had defeated and beaten the Japanese Empire, which was trying to ascend like a dragon, commanding Gyeongseong and Asia, got off the ship and set foot on American soil.

“This may be one small step for one Korean, but it will be a giant step for the world.”

“… … ?”

The doctor looked at the teacher with an expression as if to say, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Then the teacher wiped his dark beard marks as if he felt embarrassed.

“I heard it somewhere, so I tried writing it to make it sound plausible. What do you think?”

“… … At first glance, it may sound like the words of a grand adventurer, but anyone who knows your true identity would probably not take these words lightly.”

“Hahaha, what did I do?”

“I haven’t done anything yet.”

“Not yet, of course.”

The teacher raised his head and looked around.

“I can’t see the Golden Gate Bridge.”

“What is that?”

“Oh, you don’t know?”

The teacher chuckled and shook his head.

Then he winked at the doctor with a mean expression that made him want to punch him.

“There is something like that.”

“?”

The doctor looked at him with an expression like, “What kind of a brat is this?” and walked ahead, carrying his own suitcase.

Although the teacher was not told to follow him, he smiled and followed behind the doctor.

So, I changed trains a few times and took a few taxis and carriages on my way to Washington.

Do that for two weeks.

Dr. Lee from the US and Mr. Lee from Gyeongseong were able to arrive in Washington with a somewhat leisurely schedule.

“… … Where did you get that money?”

“Huh? What kind of money do you mean?”

“The money you spent during your trip!”

The doctor was shocked to see hundred-dollar bills pouring out of the wallets and bags of people who had asked for his help in the United States.

I couldn’t quite understand why someone with so much money would cling to me like a beggar.

“Oh, this?”

At the doctor’s words, Mr. Lee snickered and took out a hundred dollar bill from his wallet.

Then, he waved his hand a few times in front of the doctor and asked him.

“What does this look like?”

“… … ?”

“I didn’t ask with any other intention, I just asked what you saw.”

“It’s money. American dollars.”

“Hahaha. Do you think so?”

The teacher calmly put a cigarette in his mouth and then lit the money with a lighter for no reason.

Then he lit a cigarette with the blazing bill and burned the money like he was burning some kind of currency.

“Hey, what are you doing!!!”

Dr. Lee was shocked and shouted at the sight of this teacher burning a hundred dollars to smoke one cigarette.

People around him looked at him with disapproving eyes because his voice was so loud, but the person concerned didn’t care about that.

That would make sense, because if you collected just five or six hundred-dollar bills like the one the teacher burned, you could buy a brand new Ford in good condition.

If you saw someone burning a multi-million won bill right in front of you to light a cigarette, wouldn’t anyone be angry?

But this teacher also had his reasons.

“Heh heh, calm down, Doctor.”

“Am I calm right now? How can I calm down when you openly ignore me and provoke me like this!”

“Hehe, that’s not what I meant.”

“You said you needed my help in America, so I offered to help you even though I didn’t want to! But now, your actions are openly mocking and ridiculing me!”

The teacher blew smoke out of his mouth and spoke to Dr. Lee.

“Calm down, Doctor, this is counterfeit money.”

“……what?”

“It’s fake. It’s fake.”

“… … .”

The doctor kept his mouth shut.

If someone else had said that, I would have thought he was lying to get out of the situation, but he was the famous ghost of Gyeongseong.

He was the kind of person who never spoke nonsense, and whenever he moved, someone would die or someone would die soon.

Fake money coming out of that person’s mouth.

That is, the story about counterfeit money has come out.

So naturally, the doctor asked him.

“Then, all the funds to help independence activists in Shanghai and Manchuria… …?”

“This is it.”

“oh my god.”

The doctor touched his forehead.

This was because it was a story so enormous that he couldn’t handle it.

How much money was immediately flowing into the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai or the independence army in Manchuria, and how much did this teacher personally spend?

It seemed clear that a lot of money had to have gone into building everything from scratch.

But all that money is counterfeit… …!

“Are you crazy?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

The doctor was speechless.

Regardless, the teacher smiled broadly and puffed away at his cigarette.

“Would a single individual, if not crazy, go to war with a powerful country that dominates the world to reclaim his ruined country?”

“… … .”

“When your country, which has been ruined without your madness, gains independence, will you try to drive others into the pit of hell just to prevent the risk of losing your country again?”

“… … .”

“How can we, the weakest, win this war if we don’t go crazy?”

“… … .”

The teacher, who had just finished smoking a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and asked Dr. Lee.

“This is a war for the survival of Korea. I have given up a lot to survive here.”

“… … If this gets out, it will definitely have negative effects on Shanghai and Manchuria.”

“I know.”

The doctor looked up at the teacher.

Although he was by no means short, this teacher, who was a head and a half to two inches taller than him, was intimidating just by his presence.

“What on earth are you trying to do in America?”

“Well, first of all, I plan to make Americans tremble at the thought of communists and Japanese.”
