Yasukuni Shrine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was built on August 6, 1869 (June 29, Meiji 2) as the "Tokyo Spiritualist Society" to commemorate the soldiers who died in the Boshin War, the civil war of the Meiji Restoration, to restore the power of the Meiji Emperor.

In 1879 (Meiji 12), the Tokyo Spiritualist Shrine was renamed Yasukuni Shrine; "Yasukuni" comes from the 23rd year of Zuo Chuan's reign, "I take Yasukuni also," which means to make the country stable. The shrine was dedicated to the soldiers who died in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5), the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5), and World War II after the Meiji Restoration.

Therefore, all shrines in the country are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Yasukuni Shrine is managed by the military. At present, there are nearly 2.5 million memorial tablets for the war dead, of which 2.1 million died in World War II, including tablets of 14 Class A war criminals and about 2,000 Class B and C war criminals. After the defeat of the war on August 15, 1945, the Yasukuni Shrine chose to become a religious institution that was not under the umbrella of the political axe, because Article 9 of the post-war peace constitution stated that the political axe and religion should be separated.

Among the soldiers who died in World War II enshrined at the Yasukuni Shrine, Taiwanese and South Koreans who were conscripted into the army are also included. In addition, in 1978, the Yasukuni Shrine secretly included 14 Class A war criminals who had been convicted and executed by the Allied Far East Military Tribunals in their enshrined names.

These Class A war criminals include Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and Foreign Minister Hiroki Hirota. It is precisely because the memorial tablets of these major war criminals are also enshrined in the shrine at the same time, that whenever a political dignitary visits the Yasukuni Shrine, it will arouse opposition from the neighboring countries and peoples who suffered from the invasion during World War II. In recent years, however, the political environment has become right-wing, and leaders have frequently visited the shrine in official manners, which has intensified the protests of the political axes and the people of the neighboring victim countries. Many people believe that officials can only visit the shrine in their private capacity during non-official hours, and that they are not allowed to use official cars or other administrative resources when visiting the shrine, otherwise it will violate the spirit of separation of church and state.

During World War II, the shrine was used as the site of the departure ceremony of the kamikaze attackers. Even now, World War II veterans often hold various memorial activities here. Dressed in old military uniforms during World War II, they held demonstrations and shouted militarist slogans, so the Yasukuni Shrine is also considered one of the spiritual holy places for militarists. In addition, the relief carving on a monument next to the gate of the Yasukuni Shrine depicts the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, and the other depicts the invasion of Shanghai by the Chinese army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. All of them positively depict how the army fought "heroically" at that time, which is an out-and-out beautification of the war of aggression in those years......

Now, Wang Hao is standing in front of the monument next to the gate, as well as Lei He and Sun Jian, Wang Hao very slowly introduced the history of the Yasukuni Shrine to Lei He, as well as the story on the relief.

Lei He's face was solemn.

Although Lei He is already familiar with the history of the war between China and China, it is very different from the current perspective of the victor, and the feeling is very different from the shock, especially this relief, which is simply a shame for the descendants of China!

"Could that group of people on Mt. Fuji be some kind of kamikaze?" Lei He's face was full of black gas, and his voice was cold.

"It should be." Wang Hao nodded, this was thought of later, there are still not many people like the kind of people who wear World War II uniforms in action, and from the analysis of historical data, Sato's group should be members of the kamikaze.

"That's too cheap for them...... They should be crushed to ashes! Lei He was full of murder, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at the charging soldiers on the relief.

Impressively!

The muscles on Lei He's face trembled, and he saw a group of people, a group of veterans wearing old military uniforms came in a column, a group of about a dozen, one in front of him was holding a rifle, and a plaster flag was hung on the rifle, surrounded by a group of right-wingers, fanatical horns "quack" to make noise, and their faces were ugly.

Not only did Lei He's face change color, but also Sun Jian and Wang Hao's faces were murderous, and they couldn't help but tremble and their facial features were distorted.

"Your Excellency!" Lei He stared closely at the group of old soldiers who were showing off their might.

"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, let's go and see it first!"

Wang Hao smiled slightly, touched the relief with one hand, and strode in, their purpose was not here, but the worship hall!

"Excuse me, your passport?"

Maybe Lei He's figure is too majestic, maybe Wang Hao's momentum is too strong, maybe Sun Jian's appearance is too arrogant, or maybe the stuttering is too strong...... Just as they were about to step into the main hall, four heavily armed gendarmes approached.

The Yasukuni Shrine is perhaps one of the most sensitive places in the city, and it is not surprising to see a heavily armed gendarme here, but it is strange if not to see it.

"We are Mr. Koizumi's guests!"

Wang Hao lightly took out the fake passport prepared for him by the little monk, now Wang Hao and they use the passport of the Taiwan region, if Wang Hao is allowed to use the passport of the Chinese mainland, there will definitely be trouble, if they are allowed to use the passport of the book, they are unwilling, only by using the passport of the Taiwan region of China can avoid some unnecessary troubles and feel at ease.

After all, the Taiwan region has been colonized by Taiwan for decades, painstakingly managed, and has been pro-traitor, among which former Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui is the representative of the traitor, and he actually went against the will of the people and openly clamored that Diaoyu Dao is the original one, and is called a traitor in Taiwan, and [***] is a betrayal of the interests of Taiwan's fishermen; during his eight years in power, countless fishermen have been detained and fined for no reason in China's territorial waters, and some have even been sentenced to prison, and [***] has achieved nothing but to gain the reputation of being the blackest black gold in Taiwan.

Really!

After seeing that Wang Hao's passport was Taiwan's, they only looked at it slightly and walked away, for the Chinese Taiwanese, the gendarmes did not exclude anything, they were just very wary of the Chinese mainland, because there have been several records that the Chinese mainland people did not hesitate to go to prison at the Yasukuni Shrine to splash ink and paint, and the perseverance of the mainlanders made them break their brains, and this is not a criminal offense, but it can have a very big impact, and the authorities have no way to try to prevent this situation from occurring. Monitor closely as soon as you encounter a suspicious person......

"You, stop!"

Suddenly, one of the gendarmes turned and stammered.

Impressively!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, could it be that the gendarmes found something, this can be very different from the plan, although it has no impact on the overall plan, but, after all, it still affects the progress of the plan, you know, Wang Hao They want to start from the Yasukuni Shrine, and it is their goal to get drunk and rest in the worship hall, if they make a mess now, it will obviously have an impact on the progress of things.

The muscles of the stammering body stiffened for a while, he didn't know that there was a loophole in him, he could already hide his killing intent!

The atmosphere was tense and depressing, and there seemed to be a frightening killing aura in the air, and Wang Hao, Lei He, and Sun Jian also looked at the gendarme coldly

"Hug what?" The gendarmes were chilled, and several pairs of eyes fell on him as if they were going to pierce his body, and he suddenly regretted that what people were holding on to him, it was okay to walk around a few laps, but now, it was too late to regret it, so he had to continue to ask.

"You want to know?" The stammerer smiled eerily as he put a few boxes on the floor.

"Say!"

The gendarme felt uncomfortable, and the young man's smile made him feel creepy.

"If you want to know, see for yourself." He stammered and spread his hands, and his shoulders shrugged slightly.

"You ......"

The gendarmes seemed to have been greatly insulted, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

"Forget it, I'll take a look...... one of the gendarmes was old and sophisticated, and saw that Wang Hao and a group of them were not simple, so he hurriedly squatted on the ground and opened the box that stammered on the ground...... What is it...... Is it wine? The gendarme looked at the bottle inside the package with a puzzled expression.

"You can open it up and see for yourself." The stammering was not in a hurry, and he clasped his hands and sneered faintly, as if mocking.

Seeing the stammering eyes, the gendarmes were really a little uneasy, if these wine bottles were not wine but gasoline, then the matter would be a big deal, gently unscrewed the cap, and suddenly, a rich aroma of wine filled the air.

"Well...... Good wine ......" The gendarme dipped his fingers in a little and added it with his tongue, and his face was intoxicated, and he seemed to be a typical drunkard.

"What did you take?"

The gendarme stood up and asked at Sun Jian, now he was not suspicious of them, but purely curious.

"Hey...... He is holding wine, and I am naturally holding wine glasses......" Sun Jian laughed strangely, and gently shook the box in his hand, which was a pair of exquisite wine glasses.

"Wine, glasses...... Oh...... You are descendants of the Tsim Sha Volunteers......"

The gendarmes looked suddenly enlightened, and the Taiwanese of China, who came to the Yasukuni Shrine with wine and cups, took it for granted that they were here to pay homage to the Tsim Sha Volunteers.

Wang Hao and the others looked at each other and smiled, noncommittal, turned around and walked inside again.

Suddenly!

There was a scream with a cry...... I saw that the group of veterans rushed over frantically, looking like a dead father......
