Chapter 594: Dirty zz
The period from August to December 1948 was chaotic for the Japanese leadership, and all those who had reached a certain level of status were trembling during this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Prince Yoshihito, who had been silent for many years, took advantage of the country's deliberations to launch an armed coup d'état against the Emperor's Palace, but fortunately it was finally suppressed by the loyal emperor's guards.
Although the armed coup d'état of Prince Yoshihito of Chichibu did not change the rule of Emperor Hirohito, it did have an impact on the top of the country, and it is said that the Indian envoy was scattered by the rebels during the coup d'état, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
After the incident, Emperor Hirohito quickly sentenced Prince Yoshihito, who was in rebellion, to life imprisonment, and even strangled a number of military officers who participated in the rebellion.
His Majesty the Emperor secretly praised His Majesty's verdict in the dark.
In the turbulent years of this country, the Japanese people longed for stability, they did not like turmoil, and all the people who brought them turmoil were hated by them, even if this person was a noble prince.
This armed mutiny not only affected Japan, but also had a significant impact on the deliberations of many countries, which were almost postponed because of the disappearance of the Indian envoy.
In the end, it was only at the request of the United States, the Soviet Union, France, and other major powers that it was held normally, and finally, after many discussions, several countries set the final judgment date for November 12 this year.
The trial of Japan by several countries is not only concerned by the Japanese people, but also by people from all over the world and other countries.
On 23 November, the trial of the century, which is of concern to the people of the whole world, was held as scheduled at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo.
Among them, the judges of the Tribunal are a jury composed of 11 judges appointed by the United States, China, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, India, and the Philippines to try a number of war criminals awaiting trial.
After nearly 10 hours, the jury finally hanged Hideki Tojo, Hiroki Hirota, Kenji Dohihara, Seishiro Itagaki, Ishine Matsui, Akira Muto, and Hyotaro Kimura, and was hanged at Sugamo Prison in Tokyo on December 23, 1948.
Sixteen others, including Koichi Kido, were sentenced to life imprisonment, Shigetoku Togo was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Shigemitsu Aoi was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Naturally, the trial could not have been peaceful, and the whole trial was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the chief judges of various countries had their own opinions, among which the chief judge of India, Radhabinod Barr, spoke the most fierce words during the trial, and once demanded the death of all war criminals.
In the end, it was the Chinese Chief Judge Mei Rujiao who put the overall situation first, forgave the other party as the most persecuted country by the Japanese side, and exempted the Japanese side from compensation, which brought the Indian side back and contributed to the conclusion of the trial.
Representatives of several countries in the court expressed their admiration for the kindness of China's representative Mei Rujiao, and at the same time, Emperor Hirohito expressed his deep gratitude to the country that had been hurt by him for forgiving him with such a big belly.
The Japanese people, who learned of the incident, were also grateful for the generosity of the Chinese representatives, and the victory of the left-wing forces in Japan was high in the civil society, and it was difficult for Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who had just come to power for the second time, to govern.
In the face of the call for exemption from inspection, even Shigeru Yoshida's respect for the first phase was difficult to contend with, and for a time the pro-China ideology occupied the mainstream in Japan.
The country has changed in a few months, but are these really facts?
Chuo-ku, Nihonbashi, Ikeshoya Castle.
The only castle in the Chuo Ward neighborhood of Nihonki was invaded by force in August.
There was a large group of rebels storming the castle, but in the end they were suppressed like their master, Prince Yoshihito Chichibu Miya.
Few outsiders knew about this small violent incident, except for some tourists who happened to visit the shrine and saw it.
And no one on the government side seems to be involved in this matter, and the whole thing just comes and goes so suddenly.
In the castle tower, Chi Shang sincerely looked through the December 19 newspaper, and when he looked at the news on it, he was discussing the results of the trial one by one, and the newspapers commented on the attitude of the delegates from various countries, and the most important thing he said was that he was grateful for the mercy of the Chinese deputies.
For these news, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
As one of the few people who know the inside story, Chi Shang Zhenyi knows very well that the reason why lawyer Mei Rujiao, the representative of China, made such a generous decision was, in the final analysis, sold by the Soviets.
(Let's talk about the special international situation at that time, after World War II, Japan was no better than Germany, Japan was the bargaining chip chosen by the United States in East Asia, the United States set up military bases in Japan, and intended to support the post-war Japanese economy, with the intention of using Japan as a tool to monitor and contain Asia, especially the Soviet Union and China, the two major socialist countries.) )
(Since it wants to help Japan develop its economy rapidly so that it can compete with the Soviet Union and China, the United States certainly does not want Japan, which was already basically collapsed by the war, to pay reparations.) With the United States in the way, it is not so easy to get reparations. )
(In addition to this, China received a lot of help from the United States in World War II, so it is necessary to give the United States face.) The Soviet Union also proceeded from this point of view, and in addition, the Soviet Union was at a critical juncture in the study of the atomic bomb at that time, so in order to avoid the United States from making trouble, it asked China, the little brother, to give up the claim. The words of the big brother of the Soviet Union, the little brother of China will naturally listen to it. )
(Second, at that time, the country was in a state of division, and the *** reactionaries retreated to Taiwan and insisted that the Republic of China was the legitimate government of China.) In this way, there will be two governments in China, and who is the legitimate government recognized by the international community is of great importance to both sides of the strait. In order to win the support of other countries, especially the United States, the governments on both sides of the strait cannot but consider not offending other countries and try to conform to others when dealing with the issue. )
(Since the international and domestic situation has proved that there is a great political risk in the claim, and the small indemnity is far from being able to compensate for the harm caused to China by Japanese aggression, China is happy to make a high posture and win a good reputation in the international community, and this can be used as a favorable condition for opposing Japanese militarism in the future.) )
(Considering all the above factors, the Chinese leadership made the decision not to pay compensation, which was also in line with the political situation at the time. 】)
In the pre-trial trial, in order to test the bottom line of the Soviets, the Americans frequently put pressure on them, and even pulled Britain and France to help them.
In the face of pressure from the Americans, the Soviets, although quite tough, eventually retreated slightly, and where they retreated was the Chinese side's concessions.
Slowly putting down the newspaper, Ji Shang Zhenyi reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, and whispered to himself: "Politics is really dirty, there are no allies, only interests, everything is draped under a layer of falsehood, so that people can't see the ugliness inside, alas~~~"
The reason why Chi Shang really said this started with a telephone call broadcast from the British envoy's office on 2 August.
The British envoy, who had made the phone at that time, was immediately informed by the Japanese top brass and the US Command in Japan.
Both sides attached great importance to the secret connection between Prince Yoshihito of Chichibu Palace and the British envoy, and secretly sent spies to monitor the movements of the two parties.
MacArthur, commander of the US forces stationed in Japan, undoubtedly thought more about this than the Japanese side of the alarm, and the other side suspected that the British were taking advantage of this opportunity to seize control of Ben and want to encroach on the interests of the United States. (This is very likely, Anglo-American relations were very tense at the time)
It was precisely because of this thinking that MacArthur brazenly sent 'reinforcements' to the rescue after receiving a report that Prince Yoshihito Chichibu had mobilized troops to the Imperial Palace of Emperor Hirohito.
In the past, MacArthur did not think much of the Japanese puppet emperor, but when the British wanted to act in their own interests, he immediately could not tolerate it.
Compared with the current puppet emperor, who always has some small ideas, MacArthur could not accept the appearance of a pro-British emperor.
Even though there are too many ambiguous relations between the United States and Britain now, the relationship between the two sides seems to be very good, and they feel like brothers.
But McCasse knew that these were all illusions, and the British in the mainland, the former big brother of the United States, no longer wanted to re-subdue their little brothers.
And how can the United States, which has become stronger, be willing to be someone else's follower again? If they could, they planned to let their Stars and Stripes fly over the ancient British Empire, drawing a military occupation of their own on its territory.
However, whether this idea is bought by the top of the upper and lower parliaments in the United States or by ordinary people, everyone knows that this is impossible.
After World War II, Britain was battered by the Germans and was unable to dominate the world. But the other party's hundreds of years of heritage have not been lost.
The current British Empire is still as strong, and even if the United States controls the atomic bomb, they dare not be too toothy about this former big brother, because they do not know how many members of their domestic parliament are sent by this 'big brother'.
They also don't know how many of their military secrets have been taken back by this 'Big Brother', including the atomic bomb that they value the most, and it is very likely that it will now appear in the 'Big Brother's laboratory.
It is precisely because of these invisible constraints that the United States can only control the trouble with Britain at the negotiating table and cannot resolve it by force.
If the British really support the puppet emperor of Prince Yonghito of Chichibu Palace this time, then even if the United States is unwilling and angry, it can only keep this bitter fruit in its stomach. Because they can't cut off the long hand that this 'big brother' has reached for.
It was precisely because of this relationship between the two sides that MacArthur would immediately send someone to protect Emperor Hirohito in case the other party was killed by his own 'big brother' people.
Compared with the fast movements of the Americans, Emperor Hirohito's side was also not slow, and after learning that his second brother was in contact with the British, he immediately mobilized his secret agents hidden in the opposing camp to find out what his good brother was going to do.
Soon after the incident, Emperor Hirohito got that he, the second brother of Chichibu Palace, sent a group of people to the castle of the Chisho family, which seemed to be to take revenge for the previous incident.
Emperor Hirohito has always had a plan in mind for sending Chi Shang Zhenyi to the Third Prison before, and he hopes to be able to continue to show his second brother, so that he can have a suitable reason to attack him.
Now the other party has privately mobilized troops to besiege the prince's division, which is a good time to take it down.
At the moment, Emperor Hirohito did not hesitate too much, except for leaving some people to protect himself, he sent out all the people who could be sent in his hands, and let people take down all the people who he had been secretly watching for a long time.
In addition, some special forces were sent to his second brother's palace to control it in case something happened in the middle of the process.
As for the force that had already been sent by Chichibu Palace to Chisho Castle, Emperor Hirohito ignored it in the slightest.
For him, nothing in Japan is as important as the throne under him, even if the other party is Akihito's teacher.
What's more, according to Emperor Hirohito's prediction, it was impossible for those people to threaten Chi Shang Zhenyi at all.
Emperor Hirohito has already understood the cultivation ability of cultivators, and the cultivators of the Fifth Rank Master Rank are already a group of transcendent existences, and ordinary ordinary people, no matter how large the number is, it is impossible to threaten the other party.
This is the same as the fact that many rabbits can't kill tigers, and the level difference between the two sides is too much, and it is not at all that the number can make up.
Under the joint attack of Emperor Hirohito and MacArthur, it can be said that Prince Yonghito of Chichibu Palace was suppressed without much resistance at all, and things were not as dangerous as rumored to be from the outside world.
As for why the official report falsely exaggerated the inside story, I am afraid that only Emperor Hirohito and MacArthur, who are the parties involved, know.
Because the two had a private meeting that lasted three hours at the time, no one knows what the two most powerful men in Japan said in the room.
However, according to Chi Shang's sincere speculation afterwards, it is estimated that the two should have had a profound negotiation on the current situation in Japan.
The crux of the negotiations lies in this matter, which gave Emperor Hirohito a certain amount of confidence to fight for the benefit of his country, after all, the current action is obviously to benefit both sides and divide to do two harms.
If MacArthur continues to be as domineering as before, Emperor Hirohito may have to talk to his 'big brother'.
Emperor Hirohito could think of MacArthur naturally did not fail to think that it would be no good for the United States to press too closely on the 'puppet' in front of him, and it would be even worse if he forced it into the hands of the British.
This time, the British have secretly sent someone to 'contact' Prince Yongren of Chichibu Palace, and it is difficult to guarantee that next time the other party will not directly target the main owner in front of him.
If he forced the other party to the side of the British because he was too pressed, even with MacArthur's current status, he would not have a good life. So for nothing, he had to appease this little 'puppet', who was still a teacher.
These are Chi Shangzhenyi's conjectures about the conversation between the two in the house, but most of what happened outside at that time was according to his conjecture.
The only thing that gave Ji Shang Zhenyi some headaches was the British envoy Johnny, who suddenly came to visit him with a woman in his arms for some reason.
As for this British envoy, no one in the current high-level Japanese leadership does not know that the other party is a source of trouble, and the trouble that has been made this time is completely caused by a phone call from the other party.
There were so many things that happened with a phone call, and now I have found them in person.
For this source of trouble, Chi Shang Zhenyi didn't plan to see the other party at all, but there was always an accident, and the other party actually took out a letter written by Emperor Hirohito himself.
For a foreigner who doesn't understand four or six, Chi Shang can really ignore it, even if the other party is an envoy of the British Empire.
However, for the emperor of his own country, Chi Shang really means that even if he is not birding in his heart, the other party has to give the other party a few thin faces. After all, he can't do it yet, not to be affected by foreign objects.
Therefore, Chi Shang Zhenyi must give the other party a thin face and put the British envoy, the source of trouble, in.
In fact, Chi Shang's true estimate was right, since he put the Englishman in the castle, there were a few sneaky stalls outside the contract that afternoon.
These people don't need to guess Chi Shang's true intentions to know that they didn't come over and some unknown forces sent over, after all, at this cusp, people who dare to receive the British are definitely suspicious.
Chi Shang knew what those people thought, but he couldn't help it, because the emperor's handwritten letter handed to him by the British that day read: "For the sake of the future of the Japanese Empire, please also ask Qing to help treat that woman, thank you Qing for your family." ”
Emperor Hirohito's letter of request directly left Chi Shang Zhenyi with no choice.
