NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 256

American Dream (4)

John Edgar Hoover.

At the relatively young age of twenty-nine, he was offered the position of director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation by President Calvin Coolidge, and became director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Hoover.

This ambitious young man was the one who made a list of German spies or people suspected of being spies who were operating secretly in the United States during the last Great War, and achieved the feat of arresting 98 spies.

With this one operation, he destroyed the German Empire’s spy network within the United States.

After that, as part of the fear of the wave of socialism sweeping across the United States and the red wave that would come in reaction to it, they monitored radicals in the United States and prevented them from doing anything stupid.

Blacks, socialists, anarchists, writers and pastors, even Supreme Court justices… … Hoover was suspicious of everyone with even the slightest hint of a hint of animosity, without exception, regardless of social status, gender, or race.

I watched a lot of people.

Based on the information he gained, Hoover rose through the ranks, inflicting irreparable harm on countless people before eventually becoming director of the Bureau of Investigation.

And now.

Hoover was in deep trouble as public interest in the FBI grew in the wake of a series of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

‘There is no evidence to identify the culprit… … .’

There was considerable evidence, including testimony from eyewitnesses to the bombing of Roosevelt Cemetery in New York and the discovery of the Taft assassination in Washington.

But even after putting all this together, it was impossible to pinpoint exactly who the culprit was.

“The shells found at the Washington scene were German-made, but their irregularities and imperfect finish suggest they were handcrafted rather than machine-made.”

“Handmade, so it’s more likely that it’s a Chinese bullet made under license there rather than one made in Germany.”

Hoover looked over the bullets strewn across the table and saw that they were cheap Chinese bullets.

“Based on the testimony of the police officers there, the perpetrator appears to have been armed with a pistol and an automatic weapon… … .”

“Automatic weapons? What kind of weapons specifically?”

“Based on the evidence so far, we suspect it is a submachine gun.”

“Submachine gun.”

Hoover also knew about something called a submachine gun.

It was a newly developed weapon from the last war and was strictly controlled by militaries around the world.

In other words, it was an item that was difficult to obtain in the private sector.

‘Most submachine guns released to the public are expensive and difficult to obtain.’

If you were to ask what the most common submachine gun on the American civilian firearms market is today, the Thompson would come to mind.

‘But the Thompson submachine gun uses .45 caliber, not 9mm, you know.’

Of course, it is also possible that the perpetrator obtained a Thompson submachine gun and modified it to use 9mm bullets.

But if you think about it differently, it would have been better to just use a machine gun sold on the market rather than forcibly modifying a gun on the market.

There’s no way to know what might happen to the gun if you modify it for no reason, so why would you touch the gun for no reason?

“The culprit must have been armed with a German-made submachine gun.”

“Yes, I think that is also made in China.”

“hmm.”

After the last Great War, the German Empire, which had been the hegemon of Europe, lost the war, and many of Germany’s military industries went into decline.

But since they could not just sit back and die, German arms manufacturers had to do something about the weapons piled up in warehouses and on the battlefields. To deal with this overflowing arsenal, they disposed of weapons all over the country, in China, where war was raging.

It would have been nice if it had ended there, but German arms dealers somehow managed to make more money, even selling weapons licenses to China, flooding the market with cheap Chinese weapons.

However, those cheap Chinese weapons were only used in the East and were not even considered in the West.

The criminal who appeared there in New York was armed with a Japanese-made pistol.

When looking at these two incidents separately, they appear to have no connection, but when we focus on the perpetrators, we find that they share a commonality: they are from the East.

‘Is the culprit Asian?’

Hoover’s keen intuition pointed out that the culprit was an Asian.

“We are conducting an intensive investigation of Asians who have been traveling between New York and Washington over the past few days.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

During this period, Asians in the United States were mostly Chinese, just like today, with the remainder classified as a small number of Japanese and Koreans.

Even in that case, Koreans were classified as Japanese in the American classification, and since Japan was a friendly country of the United States, the ‘Orientals’ that Hoover was referring to actually meant ‘Chinese’.

A few days later, a Chinese man working as a window cleaner in Washington was arrested on terrorism charges.

* * *

A damp and dank underground interrogation room in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Here, an ordinary Chinese man who worked as a window cleaner was caught.

-Click.

-Phajijik.

“Kuaaaah!!!”

“Why did they bomb Roosevelt’s tomb and kill Taft?”

“!#(%@&*%@#.”

The Chinese man tried hard to express his grievance in Chinese, but unfortunately the investigator did not speak Chinese.

-puck!

“Answer the question I ask you! Do you think you can do it by talking like that?”

“I, I… … . I don’t know anything. I am innocent!”

After being hit several times, the Chinese man finally managed to express his grievances in short English.

But the more he expressed his grievances, the more severe the violence inflicted on him became.

“Huh, look at this kid? He spoke English fluently when he detonated a bomb at President Roosevelt’s tomb, and now he’s pretending not to know anything about it?”

“I, I am innocent! I don’t know English!”

“But this guy!”

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

Normally, when something like this happens, the Chinese government would step in and protect its citizens, but unfortunately, due to internal circumstances, the Chinese government does not have the power to do so.

So, the agents of the investigation bureau could interrogate the Chinese without any hesitation.

Wei Han, who was now in front of them, was the seventh Chinese person they had captured.

There was no way of knowing what had happened to the six people who had been captured earlier.

This was because although they were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, they were never released.

Instead, there were records showing that six bodies were cremated at the FBI’s crematorium.

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Why did you kill the Chief Justice? Who instigated you?”

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

The interrogation of Wei Han became more and more severe with each passing day.

It seemed like the FBI was determined to frame him.

It didn’t take long for the young man working on the streets to become a wreck, unable to open his eyes properly.

“Uh uh uh… … .”

“You were the one who committed the attack on the grave of former President Theodore Roosevelt and the assassination of former President and current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court William Howard Taft, weren’t you?”

“Uh uh… … .”

Wei Han nodded.

I don’t know how long I was stuck here, but when they spoke, I realized that nodding was not the right thing to do.

“Yeah, you should have done that a long time ago.”

Director Hoover, who had been watching this from beyond the wall, stood up and gave instructions to the investigators.

“Distribute press releases to the newspapers right away and inform them that the criminal has been arrested. If possible, dress up that guy so that he can’t be seen, and put him in front of the reporters.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

This solved another problem.

Hoover didn’t think the poor Chinese guy was the culprit.

Rather, I thought of him as a poor oriental monkey who had been unjustly caught up in this incident.

But Hoover’s framing of that innocent monkey as the culprit was all for his own protection.

That couldn’t be helped, because the real culprit was nowhere to be found, whether he had risen to the sky or fallen to the ground.

Every day, they conducted intensive checks in major cities in the East, including Washington and New York, and coastal ports, and searched everywhere to try to find traces, but they were unable to track down the criminal.

The guy appeared at the scene like a ghost and then disappeared without a trace.

‘The real culprit seems to have left the United States long ago, so we need a scapegoat to take his place.’

That’s why the scapegoat he chose was that Chinese person.

A young Chinese man who chose to go to America alone, without any connections.

A person who, even if he disappeared from the world, no one would suspect him or think anything of him.

There was a person there who didn’t even know English well, so it was perfect for accusing him of being the culprit.

‘We can deal with them by labeling them as communists or anarchists and labeling them as assassins working under their orders.’

Hoover headed to his office, thinking about the upcoming press conference.

As Hoover was walking to his office, he bumped into an Asian janitor in the hallway.

“Look ahead carefully.”

“sorry.”

Hoover glared at the janitor with contempt and shook his shoulder as if something dirty had gotten on it.

The cleaner bowed his head in apology, then grabbed a mop and a bucket and ran away at a brisk pace.

“Eww… … . Tsk.”

Hoover shook his shoulder several times and wiped the doorknob with a handkerchief a few times in case his hand touched it before opening the door.

“But there’s a cleaner in my room… … ?”

Hoover glanced at the janitor walking away into the distance.

It was hard to tell exactly who it was because the whole face and body was covered.

Hoover, seeing that sight, looked urgently into his office.

His office was a complete mess.

All the papers were scattered about, and the locks on the desk drawers were all smashed and fell out.

There were some important books missing from the bookshelf.

“… … .”

Hoover opened the door and looked down the hallway.

But I looked for the cleaner I had bumped into a little while ago, but he had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.

“… … .”

The secretaries and bodyguards who were usually present, and even the people passing by in the hallways, were nowhere to be seen.

There was no one in sight, as if Hoover was alone in the world.

“… … .”

Hoover closed the door again, locked it immediately, and placed the phone on the table.

And I tried to call the person downstairs… … .

-Ttuuuuu… … .

The phone line was cut off and wouldn’t connect.

And next to the phone was a piece of paper, and on it, in neat, clean handwriting, was a note someone had left for Hoover.

[A family that accumulates evil is sure to have remaining disasters.]

Hoover unconsciously tried to tear up the note because it was so unpleasant, but since it was also evidence, he barely held himself back and put the notepad back on the floor.

And as Hoover searched around his office to see if there was any more evidence left behind, he noticed a drawer at the very bottom of his desk that was still intact.

“hmm.”

Hoover pulled out the drawer without thinking.

Then flames burst out of the drawer and engulfed Hoover in the face.
