"Let Ben contain us?" Lin Qingxia was puzzled.

"Well, to be precise, to contain us and the USSR." Qiao Feng nodded, but at the same time he was thinking in his heart, in a few days, the main thing in the future will be to contain us, because Big Brother is about to disintegrate by Gorbachev.

"I still don't understand, why did you let Yuben contain us and the Soviet Union?"

Lin Qingxia's words made Qiao Feng react from muttering, he thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts and then said: "Let this contain us and the Soviet Union, this is based on ideological considerations, and it is also based on national interests.

The mainland and the Soviet Union are both communist countries, while the European and American countries represented by the United States and Britain are capitalist countries.

For opponents, for enemies, naturally it is impossible to overstate how to prevent it.

Therefore, in the face of the so-called threat of the Soviet Union and the mainland government, the United States began to actively seek allies in Asia, including the enemy who bombed their Pearl Harbor.

Only when this country is strong can it contain the Soviet Union and the interior economically, militarily.

After the war, in order to win over the Japanese and make it its allies, so as to deal with the communist countries, the United States maintained the pre-war political structure and made many war criminals escape the punishment they deserved.

Taking the Tokyo Trial as an example, a total of 4,336 pieces of evidence were accepted in court, a total of 419 witnesses testified in court, and 779 people testified in writing, which lasted for 2 years and 7 months and 818 court sessions.

After a serious and serious trial, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East also enumerated a number of detailed reasons for conviction before finally issuing a verdict of 1,213 pages."

What Qiao Feng said is that some of the data of the Tokyo trial that he had checked before in order to prepare for the thirteen hairpins of Jinling, which were detailed and conclusive.

But because of this, it is also even more unacceptable.

Because of the conclusive conclusive evidence of so many witnesses, testimonies, and evidence, the Tokyo Trial only sentenced seven Class A war criminals in the Japanese army to be hanged.

The list of nominees for Class A war criminals is a total of 126 people, but only 28 have been convicted as Class A war criminals, and the final trial of Class A war criminals is 28, only seven were sentenced to death by hanging, most of the others are sentenced to life imprisonment, and there are two fixed-term imprisonment, one died of illness, and one was exempted from prosecution.

This is only Class A war criminals, there are other Class B war criminals, Class C war criminals,

So, how many war criminals should be punished?

A lot, a lot, quite a lot.

The Potsdam Proclamation of 1945 stipulated: "Forever eradicate the **** political forces".

According to this regulation, post-war Japan purged the leaders at all levels from the central to the local government from the political, administrative, economic, educational and various civil organizations, and forbade them to hold public office again, and the number of people who were purged this time amounted to 86,000, of which about tens of thousands of professional soldiers were purged out of public office.

And even if not every one of these 86,000 people has reached the point where they need to be tried, then at least more than 10,000 people should be punished.

You must know that according to incomplete statistics, from August 1945 to May 1947, the Nationalist Government arrested a total of 2,357 Japanese war criminals.

There are also war criminals arrested in the Soviet Union, as well as war criminals arrested in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malay.

There are too many to be punished.

However, too many people, or except for a few people who have actually been punished and deserve it, many more have escaped sanctions because of the United States.

Japan's emperor system is hereditary, and the Constitution of the Empire of Japan, promulgated in 1889, stipulates that the emperor "shall have the right to rule as the head of the state".

The Emperor was the supreme ruler of Japan before the war and the supreme commander of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the emperor also claimed to be a descendant of the eternal line of the gods who created the Japanese nation, and the embodiment of divine power.

If it were not for the order and commander of the emperor, the supreme force, Japan would not have started such a war.

From the September 18 Incident in 1931 to the Edict of the End of War in 1945, Emperor Hirohito promoted and directed a series of wars of aggression.

It can be said that Emperor Hirohito was Japan's biggest war criminal and the main culprit of the war of aggression.

After Japan's surrender was announced, not only China and other Asian countries strongly demanded that Emperor Hirohito be held accountable for the war, but even some people in international public opinion and even in Japan felt that the Japanese Emperor was the highest person responsible for the criminal war.

However, the United States held the power of the Tokyo Trial, and they did not hold the emperor accountable for their own political needs.

As a result, "the emperor is the symbol of the Japanese state and the symbol of the unity of the Japanese people" was written into the new constitution of Japan, retaining the emperor's original status as a hereditary monarch.

Once again, the emperor became the backing for the protection of all kinds of war criminals, and found a reliance and a pretext for the restoration of the extreme right.

It is also well known that Japan used a large number of bacteriological and chemical weapons in its war of aggression against China.

Unit 731 and Unit 100 used live people for experiments, and more than 3,000 arrested anti-Japanese people eventually fell victim to bacteriological experiments.

According to incomplete statistics, in the bacteriological warfare carried out by the Japanese army in various places, at least 200,000 Chinese people died in the bacteriological warfare of the Japanese army.

However, at the international tribunal where war criminals were tried, Japan was not held accountable for its misdeeds in using chemical weapons.

Shiro Ishii, the culprit of Unit 731, and others were protected by the United States in exchange for "requesting materials on Japan's bacteriological weapons tests," thus enabling these heinous criminals to evade the trial of the International Tribunal.

On December 24, 1948, after the execution of several war criminals including Hideki Tojo, the United States announced the release of 19 other Class A war criminals and no longer held trials.

On March 7, 1950, the Allied High Command issued Directive No. 5, stipulating the release of all Japanese prisoners of war before the end of their sentences.

However, after the Tokyo Trial, the U.S.-led allies and Japan signed the Treaty of San Francisco.

Article 11 of the peace treaty expressly stated: "Japan accepts the sentences of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and its War Crimes Tribunals of the Allied Powers within or outside Japan, and shall carry out the sentences imposed by these tribunals on Japanese nationals currently imprisoned in Japan." The power of pardon, commutation and parole of such offenders shall not be exercised except by the decision of one or more governments in each case and at the suggestion of Japan. If the offender is sentenced by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, this right may not be exercised except by the decision of a majority of the Governments participating in the Tribunal and on the recommendation of Japan. ”

Date of entry into force: 1952.

If, in accordance with the provisions of the treaty signed, no unilateral government has the power to pardon, commute or parole any prisoner unless the prisoner has committed a crime only in that country.

Therefore, the United States does not have the right to unilaterally pardon, commute or parole any prisoner after the contract is in effect.

However, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East was established in accordance with the special declaration of MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, and from the Tokyo Trial to the birth of the "Cold War" policy, the United States always wanted to take advantage of the special position they occupied alone with Japan to carry out its own political intentions.

Thus, with the defeat of the Kuomintang in the interior and the emergence of the two camps of the East and the West in the world, the United States turned Japan into a bridgehead and breakwater against communism.

There was a change in the strategic policy of the United States, and MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, issued a so-called "parole order for war criminals" before the treaty came into force, and Kishi Nobusuke and other Class A war criminals were released and their sentences commuted.

For example, Nobusuke Kishi, a Class A war criminal, organized and founded the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan's largest conservative party, shortly after he was released from prison. When Nobusuke Kishi was prime minister, "about half of the members of his cabinet were purged, from ministers to ministers."

In his memoirs, Nobusuke Kishi said proudly: "I started the LDP, and the fate of Japan can only be controlled by the LDP." ”

From his words, you can see why ****** is so rampant in Japan.

These war criminals and their descendants have become the central figures of today's politics.

And the United States, seeking the friendship and loyalty of its former enemy, naturally did not mention the Nanjing Massacre, and even helped him cover it up.

Not only that

After the war, he became an economic power with the support of the United States, and used a lot of money to launch an offensive against all strata of the United States, whitewashing the fact that he was a free, democratic and peace-loving country, but he avoided talking about the history of his aggression against Asian countries in World War II, and instead described him as a victim of World War II and glorified his aggression against these countries as saving these countries.

Some so-called historians who study China or Asia in the United States are actually speaking for him with a large amount of money.

In American universities, some of the funding for the study of Sino-Japanese history also comes from the book.

Therefore, in the United States, there are very few books about the Nanjing Massacre, not even about the Sino-Japanese War.

And even if there is, it is mostly difficult to remain objective.

The United States is helping to erase the memory of the Nanjing Massacre and deprive the victims of their rightful place in history.

There is a line in the dream travelogue: There are three deaths in a person's life, the first is the death of biology, the second is the death of society, and the third is the departure of the last person who remembers you.

When you complete these three steps, you will be completely forgotten by the world.

But as Nobel Peace Prize laureate Eli Wiesel warned: to forget the Holocaust is to commit a second massacre.

As Chinese, how can the Nanjing Massacre be completely forgotten by the world.

Not only do we have to remember, but we also have to know it, remember it, and remember it forever.

Remember, I said that I had committed a lot of crimes.

It's like remembering the crimes committed against the Jews.

"Then what are you going to name this book, is it also called Jinling Thirteen Hairpins?" After Qiao Feng finished speaking with anger, Lin Qingxia asked softly.

"The story of the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling is an artistic creation based on real historical facts, for the Nanjing Massacre, the smell of blood told in the movie has actually faded a lot, and it is not as good as the real case. If the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling is only talking about one point, then I want to write about the hundreds of thousands of points intertwined with one side. The real side of the Nanjing Massacre. Moreover, what I want is to awaken the world's memory of the Nanjing Massacre. Therefore, I want to call the title of the book the Nanjing Massacre - the forgotten World War II catastrophe."

In the end, Qiao Feng silently added a sentence in his heart: "Author: Zhang Chunru."
