The Joseon Prince Went To America And Didn’t Return – 174



< Shinheung Training Center (1) >

An Myeong-geun who was the head of the personnel department of the Ikmunsa Patriotic Corps.

He knocked on the door in front of him making a noise.

“Mr. Ahn?”

Then a man came out and exchanged glances with Ahn Myeong-geun.

“Vice President Jang. It’s been a while.”

Jang Yu-sun was a Korean who immigrated to the United States at the same time as Lee Hoi-young and Lee Si-young.

A person who demonstrated outstanding administrative skills in a short period of time and was recognized for his skills by Lee Kang.

The fact that he was promoted to Vice President of the Tijuana Military Academy in just two years shows how outstanding Jang Yu-sun’s abilities are.

An Myeong-geun approached Jang Yu-sun and hugged her.

“Nice to meet you. More importantly your face has improved a lot.”

“Haha. Is that so?”

“You’ve become so much more generous. If I saw you on the street I wouldn’t recognize you.”

Jang Yu-sun greeted Ahn Myeong-geun who had a chubby face by patting his shoulder.

As usual Ahn Myeong-geun looked around and observed his surroundings.

“Do you have some time?”

“Come in. I am always happy to talk to you.”

Jang Yu-sun grabbed Ahn Myeong-geun’s hand and pulled hard.

He invited me to his office.

An Myeong-geun was dragged into Jang Yu-sun’s office semi-forcibly and was forced to observe the interior of his office.

‘This is a mess.’

The brows furrow.

It’s because Jang Yu-sun’s working style is so messy.

Because his office was currently filled with all kinds of paperwork.

Even on the way to the sofa several documents were stepped on by Ahn Myung-geun’s feet.

‘You seem to be really busy both then and now. It’s ironic that you work so messily yet you get things done so quickly that no one can compare.’

An Myeong-geun glanced around and sighed in relief.

I assumed that if Jang Yu-sun had worked at Ikmunsa a security-related issue would have arisen.

I thought it was really fortunate that I hadn’t recruited him as an agent of the Ikmunsa.

An Myeong-geun hid his true feelings and looked at Jang Yu-sun for a long time before sitting down.

“You look very busy.”

“His Majesty urgently wanted a report on the movements of the German instructors who were dispatched last time… I was writing down their movements one by one.”

“Oh is that so?”

According to Jang Yu-sun Lee Kang recently wanted to know everything about the German instructors dispatched to Tijuana.

Their disposition or something.

The tactical doctrine they taught us.

Weapon systems used.

And all the domestic reactions regarding the airplanes being delivered this time.

“When I see Your Majesty asking if there is anything more to learn from the Germans I think there is something about them that makes me feel uneasy….”

Jang Yu-sun was also quick-witted.

I immediately figured out Lee Kang’s intentions.

Is that why?

Jang Yu-sun seemed slightly anxious biting her fingernails and shaking her head from side to side.

“I think I still have a lot more to learn.”

“Why? Haven’t you learned some of the Army doctrine?”

“Hey we still have a long way to go. Even if we learn everything aren’t we still a limping army? We still need them.”

“Are you lame?”

An Myeong-geun glared at Jang Yu-sun with a look on his face as if asking what she was talking about.

“Yes. Our Joseon Independence Army doesn’t have a navy yet right?”

“ah!”

“Once we withdraw it will be difficult to send people again. Shouldn’t we hold on to those yellow-haired Germans for now?”

An Myeong-geun nodded his head vigorously agreeing with Jang Yu-sun’s opinion.

Accordingly Jang Yu-sun also suggested the plan she had thought of to Ahn Myeong-geun.

“As the old saying goes ‘If you don’t have teeth chew with your gums.’ I think it would be a good idea to establish a new maritime school at this time.”

“Maritime school? Why do you make such a claim?”

“They say that the cadets at the Maritime Academy live a life that is almost indistinguishable from that of the Naval Academy. The officers who were dispatched from Germany told me this story. They were giving me advice.”

“ah….”

During their time together Jang Yu-sun treated the officers dispatched from Germany with the utmost sincerity.

This is because humans are emotional animals and have a tendency to try to teach something more to those who treat them well.

Jang Yu-sun had already realized this principle and treated the German officers very kindly.

The German officers also gave Jang Yu-sun a lot of advice.

“Furthermore he said that the experience of boarding a regular merchant ship is similar to serving on a warship. Of course it may not be exactly the same… but aren’t the jobs of a navigator pilot engineer communications officer and navigation officer almost the same?”

“That’s true.”

“First of all His Majesty once founded a shipping company.”

“Ah! I remember.”

“Wouldn’t it be good to employ graduates of maritime schools there?”

“It could give them real-world experience and teach them advanced skills. It really doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”

“Right? I expected you to agree with my argument as well.”

Jang Yu-sun tapped a few documents with a proud expression and explained what she was doing.

“I am gathering all this information and arguments together and writing a report.”

“Ha! A second Mr. Woo Sung will appear.”

Woo Sung Park Yong-man is a rising star in the armed struggle forces.

Especially in the Americas.

After persistently courting Yi Kang he established military schools in San Francisco and Tijuana.

An Myeong-geun mentioned Park Yong-man’s name and promoted Jang Yu-sun.

“I still have a long way to go to catch up with Mr. Woo Sung. And that’s still a long way to go.”

Jang Yu-sun felt embarrassed by Ahn Myeong-geun’s praise.

Jang Yu-sun who was the vice president of the Tijuana Military School also greatly respected Park Yong-man’s previous achievements.

“Oh by the way are you by any chance….”

Jang Yu-sun started to groan with a slightly tearful expression on her face.

“Do you know where Mr. Woo Sung is?”

“Yes? Why is that….”

“Don’t you know? I’m the vice-principal but I’m also taking on all of the duties of Dean Woosung. It’s already been three months.”

Jang Yu-sun complained that she had a lot of work to do and wished that Park Yong-man would return to Tijuana as soon as possible.

“I stopped by San Francisco before coming here. I met Mr. Woo Sung once then.”

“Oh really? That means you’re headed to Tijuana soon.”

An Myeong-geun quickly denied Jang Yu-sun’s prediction.

“I’m sorry but that would be difficult.”

“No why?”

“I’ll be staying out west for a while because of the expansion of the San Francisco Flight School. I don’t think it’ll be something that’ll be done in a month or two.”

“okay?”

“Yes. His Majesty the King has given strict instructions that we should prepare in advance as there may be a large number of guests visiting our flight school.”

“customer?”

Before leaving London Lee Kang sold a large number of anti-aircraft guns to Britain.

As time goes by German intelligence detects the movements of the British military.

Germany will certainly demand further measures from Lee Kang.

At that time Lee Kang attempted to teach German pilots the diving technique at the San Francisco Flight School.

Of course this will only be possible after a large amount of tuition fees has been deposited.

Now Park Yong-man was preparing for this.

“Yes. I don’t know the details because they are confidential. Anyway it looks like Mr. Woo Sung will be staying in San Francisco for a while.”

Jang Yu-sun soon put on a gloomy expression.

An Myeong-geun patted Jang Yu-sun and comforted him.

“Will there be a personnel change soon? His Majesty has come to America again.”

“Well given Your Majesty’s personality you would quickly add what needs to be added and subtract what needs to be subtracted. Isn’t that so?”

“Yes. Oh! By the way Vice Dean.”

An Myeong-geun looked at Jang Yu-sun with an expression on his face as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

“What? Tell me.”

“The students who will be graduating this year.”

An Myeong-geun began to work in earnest.

With his eyes sparkling he asked Jang Yu-sun about the personal information of this year’s graduates.

“How is it?”

“Well it’s similar. The overall quality has improved compared to the year before or the year before. There are some outstanding talents. Starting next year the training period will be extended so it will be even better.”

“Is that so?”

If you graduate with honors from the Tijuana Military School.

The Ikmunsa Human Resources Team keeps an eye on this and selects new agents.

The Patriotic Corps is the most elite division among the Ikmunsa divisions.

Since this is a place where only the best can be selected specializing in assassination of key figures.

An Myeong-geun looked at the personal information he had received from Jang Yu-sun and asked.

“It looks like a lot of useful sprouts have come in.”

“Yeah. This guy is the best in this batch.”

An Myeong-geun stared at a man’s photo with a look of greed in his eyes.

since.

He left quietly.

* * *

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to slaughter the Japanese and the traitors.”

『Is it like the Gaksital or Hahoetal that are active in Korea?』

“Yes that’s right.”

Kim Joa-jin graduated at the top of his class from Tijuana Military School.

He was currently on his way to Bukgando with a few of his classmates.

It was to complete additional training at an educational institution called Shinheung Training Center.

“Wow. How long has it been? I can finally see land.”

“We’ve been on the ship for almost a month right?”

“Maybe? It’s been exactly 25 days. It’s been about a month.”

Graduates of the Tijuana Military Academy began talking to each other.

They revealed the information they knew one by one in an excited voice.

“There’s a new training center that I’m going to now. I’ve heard rumors that it’s a special training institute of the Ikmunsa Temple.”

“really?”

“Wow! So instead of being assigned to the Bukgando Independence Army you were recruited into the Ikmunsa?”

“maybe?”

Before boarding the ship to Primorsky Krai.

An Myeong-geun met with prospective cadets from the Patriotic Corps who were to be recruited this time wearing a mask and disguising his identity.

There after assessing the beliefs and attitudes of the prospective candidates they were given forged passports.

Although he didn’t reveal his affiliation the cadets who were graduating this year had already noticed Ahn Myung-geun’s presence.

He looked quite excited.

“Cadet Lee Jin-woo. Don’t ask me your name. Even if you ask I’m not there to answer.”

Lee Jin-woo recalled the time when he was interviewed in solitary confinement while imitating Ahn Myung-geun’s voice.

“Hey. Then will we be able to work in our home country too?”

“I guess so?”

“I heard that Gaksi and Hahoe are very active in Hanyang and Pyongyang these days. Should we also have a stage name that matches their activities and carry out our missions?”

“Oh what should I build it with?”

Because it is an organization shrouded in secrecy.

How many people are being selected this time?

There is no information about where they are active.

Since the only information coming out of the cadets’ mouths was information they had heard from the world Kim Jo-jin thought that this conversation was not very nutritious.

‘If you go you’ll only have a hard time. Tsk tsk. I can’t see an inch ahead of me.’

The Ikmunsa Patriotic Corps is the most elite unit.

Kim Jo-jin expected that a more difficult ordeal awaited him than the one in Tijuana last time.

That’s why.

He didn’t look as excited as the others but rather nervous.

“Everyone get ready. We’ll be arriving at the port of Vladivostok soon.”

Kim Joa-jin jumped up at the words of his friend who had returned to the cabin.

He made another surprised expression as he was already ready to disembark.

“Baekya (Kim Jo-jin) who are you that you’ve already finished preparing everything?”

“….”

“Oh my. Are you deaf now?”

Kim Jo-jin prepared to leave the cabin with a rather serious expression on his face.

“I’ll be on deck. Come up when you’re ready.”

Kim Joa-jin left after saying his last words.

At this his classmates all looked fed up.

“I wonder if anyone will say that we are the top rider. Anyway please let me know. Let me know.”

“Leave me alone. I can’t live up to my own expectations. Why can’t we just work together at the training center and shut that guy’s nose?”

To Lee Jin-woo’s claim.

The other students nodded and giggled at each other.

After that they also finished preparing to leave and came out onto the deck.

“Wow this is killing me.”

“I know.”

It was the port of Vladivostok in September that welcomed them.

The scenery was really beautiful because autumn was just beginning to take shape.

The Tijuana graduates all looked at Vladivostok where they had returned after a long time with cheerful expressions on their faces and soon opened their mouths.

“Hey what are you all doing? Let’s get off.”

* * *

“Let’s go to the movie theater.”

Kim Jo-jin and his party arrived in Hunchun North Gando.

Because along the way we also met up with a group from the San Francisco Flight School.

They were moving in a strangely tense situation.

“Hey.”

“looks delicious.”

Bukgando is currently a no-man’s land.

Cheongdo. Japan. Russia.

A place where influence is not projected.

That’s why the place was full of Koreans who had just fled from their home country.

“Did you tell me to stay here for a day?”

The graduating students appeared to be slightly relaxed as they arrived at the rendezvous point a day early.

That’s because Bukgando was under the actual control of Koreans making it a safer place than Tijuana or San Francisco.

“How about we all have a drink before we enter the Ja Ja training center?”

Everyone shouts ‘call’ at Lee Jin-woo’s suggestion.

Except for Kim Joa-jin who didn’t let his guard down.

“White night. You?”

“I’m fine. I’m going to bed early so don’t disturb me.”

“Tch.”

His classmates became jealous of Kim Joa-jin and began to band together.

The night deepens.

The lights in the cinema are going out one by one.

As time passed and dawn came.

“Let’s start.”

The welcome party for freshmen has begun.
