#59. Last gift.

March 28, 1945, 8 p.m.

Expeditionary Force Headquarters Command and Control Room.

“Huh! Han Min-seok, should I see that friend again? Do you do that yourself?”

“Yeah, that’s right. “I knew very well that you were a friend who always led by example.”

Lee Kang-cheol and Ko Seok-man were truly surprised while watching the video sent by the 3rd Corps.

Human beings may feel uncomfortable when fighting, but if they are captured alive and then executed, they will inevitably feel resistance.

However, Han Min-seok, the commander of the 25th Division, took up the gun himself and resolved the issue as a division commander.

It was to ease the burden on his subordinates, but the sight of him confirming and killing someone with a pistol was such an unexpected scene that even Lee Kang-cheol and Go Soo-man were shocked.

“Anyway, it’s great. “Then what do you do with those who have previously been through the special unit?”

“What should I do? We must track him down to the end and punish him according to the law. You can’t avoid hanging anyway. And I think most of the people who could cause trouble are dead here?”

“That’s true. “Then what about him?”

“that person? Ah, that person stayed.”

that person.

The person who caused the greatest controversy in modern Korean history regarding merit and merit.

However, no one will deny the mark he left on modern Korean history.

Whether you hate it or like it.

“Yes, that person. “If that guy shows up, I think it’s going to be a huge issue, right?”

“Where is that guy now?”

“Because the war ended in the 8th Infantry Division of the Manchurian Army, I will still be in the 8th Infantry Division. “The jurisdiction of the 8th Infantry Corps is still outside the control of our ROK Armed Forces.”

“okay? “Then what should I do if I leave it alone?”

“yes? “Leave me alone?”

“then? Find and kill him? For what crime?”

“It’s not that, but…”

“At this time, you are not a lieutenant in the Manchurian army, but a second lieutenant, right?”

“Of course.”

“The so-called thing is ambiguous even under the modern special law on uncovering the truth about anti-national acts under Japanese colonial rule. He must be an officer of the rank of second lieutenant or higher and actively cooperated in the war of aggression. How could a so-called bum from a remote corner of Manchuria actively cooperate in the war of aggression? That’s also Lieutenant Euljong, right? Adjutant’s adjutant?”

“…”

“And if that nobleman’s actions are punished according to our current laws, the only thing he will do is be classified as a pro-Japanese partisan and probably be expelled from all public offices? So just let the law do its thing. When it first appears, it will be interesting and people will be interested, but after a while, everyone will lose interest. In any case, it is impossible for me to hold a public office forever due to my experience as a Manchurian military officer, so I will make a living by doing business.”

“All right.”

“You just have to follow the principles, just follow the principles. The Gando Special Forces dealt with them that way because they were people who should not be left alive, regardless of modern or current standards, but he wasn’t that bad, right? Based on his actions so far, he is merely a so-called pro-Japanese faction. Well, the blood oath to the Emperor did have some impact. “There is no need to treat him as special because he was a huge figure in the future.”

“…”

14:00 on March 31, 1945.

Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

“The U.S. military liaison officer visited in the morning.”

“okay? “Jimmy?”

“Yes, General MacArthur will probably announce the recapture of the Philippines sometime today.”

“Hoo? “It’s faster than I thought?”

“We help so much, but we have to do this much.”

“ha ha ha! “That’s right.”

The impact of the fraudulent system called Albatross on the war was truly absolute.

Since it provides real-time information on where the Japanese military is and where they are attacking, the Japanese military, who are already outnumbered, has no chance of being attacked.

According to Albatross information, American bombers and fighter jets launched air strikes every day.

Escaping to the jungle like in the original history?

Then you can’t see it?

In a way, it could be said that the war to recapture the Philippines was coming to a late end.

And nothing like the Manila Massacre occurred.

The U.S. Navy was also sweeping the waters of East Asia as if it were its own home, with the support of Albatross.

Kamikaze?

This time in history, they will be recorded as just a few crazy people.

To date, he has zero criminal records.

Albatross notified Japanese fighters approaching the U.S. Navy fleet in real time and guided them to intercept them, so they could not even get close to the fleet.

No, there were no fighter jets or pilots left, so it would be seen as not having the capacity to do so.

All airfields that could pose a threat were destroyed by US bombing.

“The Battle of Okinawa will soon end sooner than in history.”

“You couldn’t even go to the troops in the first place, right? They said Okinawa would also be cleared out next week.”

“There really isn’t much left. “On the European front, the Allies came to the verge of Berlin.”

“Europe will be finished by mid-April. Even though it’s Japan, it will still last until May.”

“Hmm, is this too fast?”

“Iknow, right.”

“LeMay, is that crazy still the same?”

“That guy is completely crazy. It’s a shame if he was an ally, but if he was an enemy, he would have become a war criminal of all time. Most of Japan’s major cities have already been reduced to ashes. The original damage at the end of the war was long ago exceeded. And yet it’s a bomb! They say they are crying for more bombs.”

“omg···.”

“It is said that a few days ago, we were secretly trying to spread incendiary bombs in Osaka, where bombing had been banned, and our squadron commanders reported this to the higher-ups, causing an uproar.”

“what? “No, that bastard?”

There was a reason why Lee Kang-cheol was upset.

Osaka is the city where the largest number of Koreans living in Japan live, and it is a city where bombing was banned by the expeditionary force headquarters in consultation with superiors in the U.S. military.

Although there were many military factories.

But LeMay attempted a bombing.

“You also agreed to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where many of our compatriots live, right? “And you still did that?”

“Yes, it looks like the higher-ups in the U.S. military have given a firm warning. He said that if he did something similar one more time, he would be dismissed from his position. “The U.S. military still absolutely needs us.”

“I’m so dumbfounded…”

“Anyway, if we continue like this, won’t there be no chance of dropping the atomic bomb?”

“I’m worried about that too. “That guy, LeMay, was responsible for 10 atomic bombs.”

“At least one atomic bomb must explode. I feel sorry for the Japanese kids, but if one actually explodes, the devastation it causes can prevent a future nuclear war. “If it doesn’t happen now, a nuclear war could break out within a few decades.”

“That’s what I’m saying. “I guess I recommended LeMay for no reason?”

“Who knew he was that crazy?”

The atomic bomb must be exploded now to sound the alarm to all mankind.

Otherwise, if a war were to break out after the next generation of not only more atomic bombs but also hydrogen bombs, it could literally threaten the survival of humanity.

However, it was also funny to keep insisting that it should be revealed to President Roosevelt.

However, the problem was solved a little strangely.

April 3, 1945, 4 p.m.

A message arrived from Washington.

– FDR in Washington to General Lee.

With your help, we successfully completed a plutonium atomic bomb test in New Mexico yesterday.

Thank you again.

And I watched the Japanese military human experiment video you sent me.

Our ministers and military generals, as well as all members of Congress, could not contain their anger.

To what extent can humans become evil?

I went to the point where I blasphemously doubted God.

– General Lee to FDR in Washington.

We are very happy that the atomic bomb test was successfully completed.

And the video I sent you is a hastily edited portion.

We will send you a properly edited video soon.

– FDR in Washington to General Lee.

thank you

If you send it to us, we will also screen it for American citizens.

There was a lot of controversy over whether the atomic bomb should be dropped on Japan.

But after seeing this video, no one objected.

We will discuss the bombing site soon.

“Oooh! “Is this how it works out?”

“So you mean that?”

One video of Unit 731 moved America.

Currently, due to LeMay’s excessive enthusiasm, there has been a lot of discussion about whether there is a need to use the atomic bomb, so it is said that Roosevelt also had a lot of concerns, and this was resolved in this way.

“It’s not appropriate to say I’m happy, but it worked out well.”

“That is an appropriate expression.”

With this, one of Lee Kang-cheol’s concerns was resolved.

April 15, 1945.

A U.S. military liaison officer visited the expeditionary force headquarters.

To deliver the news that Hitler committed suicide in the Fürerbunker on April 14th, German time.

“It was about 15 days earlier than the original history.”

“That’s correct because he originally died on April 30th.”

“But what is this? “You named not only Karl Dönitz as your successor but also Göring?”

“I almost spewed out my coffee when I heard that earlier.”

“What will happen to this? “The German army on the Eastern Front is still alive and well, right?”

“It’s not a bad combination. Even in history, Admiral Doenitz was a person who tried to block the advance of the Soviet Army by somehow cooperating with the British and Americans at the last minute. Dreaming of the so-called ‘Miracle on the Brandenburg Street’. “Göring is the one who evacuated his family earlier this year and even lied to Hitler before running away from Berlin, so even if he is high on drugs, he must be properly aware of the reality before watching.”

“Hoo?”

“Furthermore, Hitler did not bring back troops from the Eastern Front even though Berlin was on the verge of being occupied.”

“Why did you do that?”

“I’m not sure, but I think it might be Hitler’s final gift to his country.”

“A final gift?”

“There is probably not a single German who does not know what happens when the Soviets occupy Germany. “It may have caused a lot of resentment, but it is well known what Stalin’s behavior was during that time.”

“Hmm, that seems plausible…”

In the original history, the German army tried to surrender to the British and Americans in any way possible.

I knew very well that if I surrendered to the Soviet army, I would either die or not be able to return home for a long time, and that was actually what happened.

Such actions of the Soviet Union were expected long ago. Stalin had a history of infuriating Churchill by proposing the execution of 50,000 German officers at the Tehran conference banquet, and before that, in 1940, while dividing Germany and Poland, the Katyn Forest was destroyed. This is because there was a record of massacring 22,000 Polish soldiers, police, and intellectuals.

“Anyway, it’s okay. Admiral Dönitz is from the Navy, so his control over the military will actually be diminished, but since Goering, who is the Air Force’s second-in-command for a long time, is with him, there will be less backlash.”

“yes.”

“And by God, the troops on the Eastern Front are in good health. This means that there are still cards left to negotiate with Britain and the United States.”

“Then shall I fan the flames? “If I do well, I think a good picture will come out, right?”

“Hehehe! “It’s bingo!”

“okay! “You have to make the most of it.”

– Spend money, spend money, spend money.

Lee Kang-cheol immediately sent a message to Roosevelt.
