The Japanese had successfully put down the Korean Revolution, or as it was said on the public radio waves, the "Chosun Manse Violent Public Disorder Incident." The Kempeitai were quick to cut off the head of the snake before it could strike, and the rest of the revolution quickly died down. Some civilians had to be killed and the heavy-handedness of the Imperial Japanese Army elements was disagreeable considering the status of Japanese negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference, but success was nonetheless had. While there was still work to be done to handle the restlessness of Korea, there was also still the question of those that had taken violent arms against the Empire of Japan and fled into Manchuria. The IJA demanded Takashi allow them into Manchuria to complete their mission and put down the rebellious Koreans, and Prime Minister Hara Takashi would not refuse their demands. However, Takashi would ask for formal approval from the Beiyang Government, and informally approval from the local leader of Manchuria, Zhang Zuolin, to go after the separatists.
