"Why does the world know that the Romans slaughtered 150,000 people in Carthage, that the Catholic army went on a killing spree in the Spanish Inquisition, that Timur executed 100,000 prisoners in Delhi, and that he used the skulls of these prisoners to build two ossuary towers in Syria, and that Germany carried out a massacre of Jews in World War II, that the Soviets suffered countless casualties in the Great Patriotic War, and that there were Poles and Gypsies, but why is it that almost no one in the world remembers the Nanjing Massacre, which was far more brutal than these?"

Lin Qingxia said that she had been to many countries, but she had never heard foreigners talk about the Nanjing Massacre, and she had never read a single book about the Nanjing Massacre.

As Qiao Feng said, it seems that the whole world has forgotten the catastrophe that once happened in the city of Nanjing.

But how could this happen?

This is not a normal thing at all.

This is because the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre alone exceeded the total number of civilian casualties in some European countries throughout World War II.

In the case of Britain and France, the combined number of civilian casualties in the two European powers was only half of the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

Such a human tragedy, hundreds of thousands of people being brutally slaughtered, normally in any country, it will cause a sensation in the world and shock the world.

But that's how unbelievable it is.

The atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing are so little known in the world.

Unlike the atomic bomb attack and the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe, people outside Asia hardly knew about the Nanjing Massacre, let alone the cruelty and horror of the massacre.

Why?

Lin Qingxia didn't understand.

Qiao Feng didn't understand it before.

If he was not prepared to shoot the thirteen hairpins of Jinling, Qiao Feng would not be able to answer Lin Qingxia's question.

However, now Qiao Feng can give some of his own views based on previous investigations and data and analysis.

If the Japanese are deliberately erasing all traces of the Nanjing Massacre, then European and American countries are deliberately forgetting the Nanjing Massacre.

Most historical documents published in the United States ignore this historical event, and only a few history textbooks in American high schools briefly mention the Nanjing Massacre.

Almost none of the full-length and authoritative historical works on World War II released to the American public give a detailed account of the Nanjing Massacre.

For example, the History of Traditional American Pictures: World War II, which is the best-selling single-volume book on the history of World War II in the United States for many years, not only does it not include a single picture of the Nanjing Massacre, but it does not even mention the event itself.

Whether it is Churchill's famous 1,065-page memoirs of the Second World War or Henry Michel's 947-page classic World War II, there is not a single word about the Nanjing Massacre.

In Gerhardweinberg's 1,178-page world in the midst of war, there are only two references to the Nanjing Massacre.

This made Spielberg, who had consulted a lot of information for the filming of the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling, feel the same confusion.

He searched through European and American sources on World War II, and found a real and concrete account of the Nanjing Massacre in Robert Leckie's 998-page book Getting Rid of Evil: The Legend of World War II, but there is only one sentence: "Any ugly deeds done by Hitler's leaders that brought shame to their victory palely in comparison with the soldiers of Matsui Ishine."

Why do too many people in the world not know about the Nanjing Massacre?

Why is there not enough attention paid to the Nanjing Massacre even in academic circles?

Is it because the victim has been silent?

Yes, of course there is such an element.

Of course, because of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, the survivors did not know about the murder of them and the atomic bombing of the atomic bombing, as the Jews themselves did.

But more often than not, it is because of the political manipulation of European and American countries in it.

Have the survivors of the Nanjing Massacre ever spoken out?

There must be.

But under the wrestling of all parties, no one hears their call signs, or no one cares if they hear them, and even deliberately conceal and ignore them.

"The Nanjing Massacre's disregard for the world can be traced back to the end of World War II, when I surrendered." Qiao Feng explained Lin Qingxia's confusion.

"The end of World War II?" Lin Qingxia was surprised.

"Yes." Qiao Feng nodded and continued: "You know that the United States now has troops stationed in Japan, but do you know that China should also have troops stationed in Japan?"

"Chinese troops stationed in Japan?" Lin Qingxia was even more surprised, could China have ever stationed troops in Yueben? She had never heard her father mention this.

As the victorious country, China should have sent troops to stationed in Japan like the United States. Even, the Nationalist Government at that time had already sent an advance force to Japan. However, in order to fight the civil war, Chang Kaishen actually transferred a telegram from the advance force back to China and threw an elite integrated division that was originally going to be stationed in Japan to the battlefield of the civil war." Speaking of this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but scold: "What a country, a sinner of the nation."

After scolding, Qiao Feng said angrily: "It is precisely because there was no garrison in the past, so now I can blatantly deny the Nanjing Massacre and even deny the war of aggression against China, and even more so, I can turn black and white and say that I am a victim.

Failed to garrison in this book, Chang Kaishen was great.

As for the exemption from the war reparations........ Hey, this can't be said.

Anyway, the top has its own considerations.

It doesn't matter if you really can't afford to lose, or in order to build your own image as a great power, anyway, our leaders are wise and far-sighted.

There is nothing wrong with this indemnity.

"Yes, if China were to station troops in Japan like the United States, it would certainly not dare to reverse black and white, let alone become the right-wing forces that are now rampant. I remember that last year there seemed to be reports that the mayor of Nagasaki City and others were shot by right-wing forces and almost killed." Lin Qingxia thought it was interesting and gave an example.

"yes." Qiao Feng also read this news, and he still remembered that the mayor of Nagasaki City was called Motoshima.

Why was this island shot?

Just because he once said that Emperor Showa was to blame for World War II, and then angered the right-wingers of Yumoto.

From this, it can be seen that if you openly express your true views on the Sino-Japanese war, you will threaten your own security.

This threat has existed since the end of World War II and will continue to exist in the future.

"The atmosphere of terror in our country has suppressed free and open academic discussions on the Nanjing Massacre, and has further hindered the world's understanding of the truth. You say, if the Japanese themselves do not admit it, and we do not say it ourselves, then who can still remember the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, relying on Europe and the United States? They are still counting on the book to contain us, how can it touch the sensitive nerves of the book?"
