Chapter 203: Battle Clouds Gather (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Seoul became a mess, and the military police of the Japanese Army frantically ran around the city, searching for suspects, and the entire Seoul was surrounded by the Japanese Army. Many innocent North Koreans were arrested as participants or planners of the bombings. Most of these people were never released again, either killed or exhausted to death in the mines opened by the Japanese.

The commander of the Joseon monarch, General Sakuma Sakuma, appeared at the scene of the incident with a gloomy face, and Ito Hirobumi was actually killed, which will definitely cause an uproar in Japan. Ito Hirobumi is one of the elders, the bigwigs of the Constitutional Political Friendship Association, and his accident will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire Japanese political arena. As the commander of the North Korean Army, Ito Hirobumi was killed in a bombing on his turf, which will have some impact on him.

"Your Excellency Commander, Hirobumi Ito-sama is dead!" The Chief of Staff of the DPRK Army, Genjiro Akashi, reported to General Sakuma Sakuma. His face was even more ugly, because in addition to being the chief of staff of the North Korean army, he was also the commander of the North Korean gendarmerie.

"Yaga, what about those who attacked Hirobumi Ito?" Although Sakuma Zomathew had expected this to be the outcome, he was still very angry.

"Those attackers were all killed." Genjiro Akashi said. In fact, the carriage Ito was riding in was blown to pieces, and even he was blown out of shape, and he could no longer die.

"It must have been done by the damned North Korean resistance. A division was sent back from the front to suppress the resistance. Also, order the troops of the front, strengthen the defense! General Sakuma Sakuma commanded.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Genjiro Akashi nodded.

After returning to the Korean military headquarters, General Sakuma Sakuma personally drafted a telegram. Sent to the General Staff Headquarters. He could imagine the impact of the telegram when it was sent back to Japan. A Japanese veteran was actually blown up, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Japanese Empire! And behind this, there must be the shadow of the Northern Army. Without the help of the Northern Army, how could the North Korean resistors get their hands on so much explosives? This is probably a revenge to Japan for their assassination of the major marshal of the Northern Army!

The news that Hirobumi Ito was killed. It was soon transmitted back to Japan. After receiving the telegram, Marshal Oyama Iwa, Chief of Staff, immediately ordered the news to be sent to Aritomo Yama Prefecture and Masatakeshi Ryushoji, as well as to Katsura Taro, the director of education. Hirobumi Ito was Japan's first patriarch and had a high status. But among those living elders, except for Ito Hirobumi, it belongs to the prefecture Youto. This also means that Youpeng in Shanxian will become the person with the highest status among the elders. This will undoubtedly be of great help to expanding the power of the Japanese Army.

"The time has come for the army to expand its power, and this country is still controlled by our army after all!" Marshal Oyama Rock muttered.

Katsura Taro after receiving the message. A smile appeared on his face. He seems to see that he is getting closer to the prime minister's throne again. It is estimated that it will not be long before he will return to the post of Prime Minister of Japan! Hirobumi Ito has been blown up, and Saionji Konobo has lost its biggest backstage. He, the prime minister, won't be able to do it for long.

"The teacher was actually blown up and killed by those North Koreans? How is this possible? Japanese Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang was also stunned after receiving the news. He never imagined that Ito Hirobumi would be killed.

"Someone. Gather the cabinet members and convene a cabinet meeting now! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang ordered. Such a big thing happened. A solution must be negotiated.

Soon, the entire Japanese cabinet arrived. However, the cabinet ministers who belonged to the faction of the Constitutional Political Friends Association did not look good one by one. They were able to form a cabinet because of Katsura Taro's defeat in last year's war. Hirobumi Ito, who is the boss of the Constitutional Political Friendship Association, also provided them with great help. Right now. Ito Hirobumi was actually killed, which means that their backer has fallen. It is estimated that soon, Japan's political landscape will be reshuffled again. And they will become the losers.

"Ladies and gentlemen. His Excellency Hirobumi Ito was assassinated in Seoul and has done his duty to the country. We can't just give up, we have to avenge His Excellency Hirobumi Ito! Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with red eyes. Hirobumi Ito is his teacher and his greatest support!

"The North Korean army is already searching for the resistance. However, according to our speculation, behind these North Korean resistance elements is the support of the Shina people. Otherwise, the resistance wouldn't have gotten their hands on that much explosives. Lu Xiangji said.

"What the hell is the North Korean army doing? His Excellency Hirobumi Ito was actually killed in the street, is the situation in Seoul already so bad? The North Korean army must be held accountable for this! Foreign Minister Lin Dong looked angry.

"The North Korean army has done its best! After all, the North Korean resistance has been active since we occupied Korea. Masaki Terauchi said with a tough attitude. Previously in the cabinet, he was more restrained. But now, it seems that there is no need to continue to converge.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing! His Majesty the Emperor was outraged that His Excellency Hirobumi Ito had been killed. His Majesty asks the Cabinet to come up with a solution as soon as possible. We can't just leave it at that, we must make the culprit pay! Interior Minister Hara Kei, who attended the meeting on behalf of the emperor, said.

"That's right, His Excellency Hirobumi Ito can't die in vain, we must avenge him!" Tibetan Prime Minister Yoshiro Sakatani also said.

Other cabinet ministers have also expressed their desire to avenge Ito Hirobumi. The Army and Navy also support this view.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, let the envoys in China protest to the people of China! They must hand over the murderer. Otherwise, the Empire of Japan would not have given up with them. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Foreign Minister Lin Dong nodded.

Ito Hirobumi was killed in the bombing of Seoul, which caused an uproar throughout Japan, the emperor was furious, and the Japanese people also held protest marches one after another, demanding that the government severely punish the culprits. In addition to the fact that the Koreans who planned this case became the target of protest and insult by the Japanese, the northern government, under the deliberate guidance of the Japanese government, became the mastermind behind the assassination. Therefore, many Japanese demanded that the government go to war against the northern government to defend the dignity of the Great Japanese Empire.

As a result, the situation in Northeast Asia as a whole has undergone great turmoil. Originally, the military conflict between the Northern Army and the Japanese Army became even more intense, and there was almost a possibility that it would turn into a war.

Kim Koo, the leader of the North Korean resistance, stood up at this time and announced that the assassination was organized by him, with the purpose of killing this guy who tried to colonize Korea. This made the Japanese hate Kim Koo to the core, while the Koreans regarded Kim Koo as a leader. It also caused the strength of the resistance organization led by Kim Jiu to swell sharply, becoming the largest of the North Korean resistance organizations.

The Japanese tried to kill Jin Jiu several times, but Jin Jiu had been staying in China, and the border was under the control of the Northern Army, and Japan had no choice but to put pressure on the northern government. However, the government of the north was unmoved.

"Your Excellency, Secretary-General, on behalf of the Empire of Japan, I formally lodge a protest to you and demand that you immediately hand over Jin Jiu to us!" The Japanese consul in Shengjing, Abe Shotaro, looked angry.

"Your Excellency Consul, Jin Jiu is a North Korean, and if you want to arrest Jin Jiu, it seems that you don't need to inform us." Yang Du smiled. Hirobumi Ito was actually killed, which is undoubtedly revenge.

"Your Excellency, please don't say this, we have received definite information that Jin Jiu and his resistance group are hiding in the Changbai Mountains. And, behind this assassination, there is also the shadow of your intelligence department. Abe Shoutaro said angrily.

"Your Excellency Consul, do you have any definite evidence? If not, then this is an insult to our northern government, and Your Excellency must apologize for it! The smile on Yang Du's face disappeared cleanly. Just as the Japanese would not admit that they were involved in the assassination of Wu Haoxuan, the northern government naturally would not admit that they were involved in the assassination of Ito Hirobumi.

Abe Shoutaro was very angry, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Yang Du and slap Yang Du twice. However, he knew that if he did that, he would not be able to get out of the Northern Government Council.

"If you don't agree to hand over Jin Jiu to us, then we will have to take action ourselves!" Shoutaro Abe said viciously.

"We have no right to interfere with Japan's actions in North Korea. However, if the Japanese side crosses the border and enters our territory, it will be an invasion of us. And what the consequences of this will be, I am afraid that your Excellency is very clear. Yang Du was resolute and uncompromising.

Abe Shotaro eventually left the Northern Government Council with a look of anger, and the Northern Government's resolute attitude meant that it was impossible for them to capture Jin Jiu by putting pressure on the Northern Government.

However, it is clear that the Japanese government cannot do nothing, and this will not be able to calm the anger in the hearts of the people. And the Japanese army, blocked by the Northern Army, could not cross the Yalu River and entered the Changbai Mountains to capture Jinjiu. The border clashes between the two sides are becoming more and more intense, and large-scale shelling is carried out almost every day. And the possibility of war breaking out seems to be even greater, which makes the sky over the entire Northeast Asia cloudy! (To be continued......)
