The country is a big place. Once you find something that is not gaining momentum, you will ban it immediately, and the loss will only be one place at a time, not big. However, Japan is such a big place. Once all kinds of barren ore veins are destructively mined, it is estimated that there will not be much left of Japan's already small mineral deposits.

As a strategic resource of a country, once most of the country's mineral deposits are destroyed, both the economy and people's livelihood will be greatly affected. Rebuilding the army and the industrial system is not even a thought of it. Regardless of the national economy and people's livelihood, almost all resources must be imported. Subject to people.

Pollution from indiscriminate mining will also exacerbate the environmental damage caused by deforestation in Japan. After a few years, it will be questionable whether this part of Japan is still suitable for human habitation.

It takes thousands of years for a good natural environment to form, but it only takes a year or two to destroy it. In just one year, after Yu Sheng and a group of American business predators began logging in the Japanese islands, the forests of Hokkaido and Kyushu, as well as other regions, were cut down on a large scale.

The power of industrialization cannot be underestimated. The Americans were logging far more efficiently than the rest of their lives and the Japanese expected. Many mountains and forests are bare, and once there is a large amount of precipitation, geological disasters are inevitable.

In the early morning of December 23, 1948, in Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, Japan, Japanese Class A war criminals who had been sentenced to death by hanging during the Tokyo trial were lined up and sent to the gallows. Today is the time of death of these evildoers, and they will not be spared.

Yu Sheng got up early in the morning to see off these Class A war criminals. It stands to reason that at the time of the execution, in addition to the media reporters invited by the Allied forces. No one else is allowed to enter Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, Japan. However, with the current status of the rest of his life, he has naturally transcended these rules.

He came to Sugamo Prison today for no other purpose than to witness history. Although the Americans did not allow anyone to bring video equipment to the scene, but. It is enough to see with your own eyes these Japanese Class A war criminals who have plagued countless Chinese die in front of them.

These Japanese Class A war criminals were all in high positions before Japan's defeat in World War II. The Americans, for the sake of gaining a good reputation for humanity, did not treat these people badly. Therefore, they are all raised in Sugamo Prison for nothing.

However, when these people faced death, their demeanor and demeanor really disappointed the rest of their lives. Twenty condemned prisoners. None of them died generously. Most of them were pale and trembling. Two of them even flowed feces and urine, making the execution scene stinky.

A person in a high position sometimes seems to be majestic and majestic, but his own nature is still an ordinary person. Even, due to its superior environment. I have received less tempering, and I have been tempered a lot of my mind. It's not as good as an ordinary person. The source of its majesty is nothing more than the power of the system in which it lives.

After the condemned prisoners were brought to Sugamo Prison to pray in front of the statues of Buddha or other religious gods that had been specially built for the war criminals, a group of prisoners began to draw lots to decide who would go to the gallows first.

According to the development of real history, on the gallows. There were only seven people. According to the order of the draw, the first was Hideki Tojo, followed by Kenji Dohihara, Seishiro Itagaki, and then Hiroki Hirota and three others.

And the lottery of these 20 people is far more troublesome than the original lottery of 7 people. The time of the execution. It's going to be a lot longer. And the first to go to the gallows was Shigemitsu Aoi, followed by Koiso Kuniaki, followed by Hideki Tojo, and Kenji Dohihara and Seishiro Itagaki were not in the top ten.

is the so-called rabbit dead fox sad. Seeing that in the past, high-ranking colleagues were hung on the gallows in front of them, and their psychological pressure was far beyond what these well-pampered Class A war criminals could bear. Seishiro Itagaki muttered a prayer, Hideki Tojo burst into tears, and Matsui Ishigen's face was like earth.

Suddenly, Matsui Ishine saw Yu Sheng actually standing in the crowd supervising the execution, and said in English to the American soldier who supervised the execution: "I want to say a few words to Mr. Yu Sheng." ”

The rest of his life is a little inexplicable, and he is not familiar with Matsui Ishine. Although in later generations, Matsui Ishine was identified as the mastermind of the Nanjing Massacre and the main leader of the Shanghai Dispatch Army. However, the rest of his life knew that Hatohiko Asakanomiya was the main orderer of the Nanjing Massacre. Moreover, between the two people, they never faced each other.

Even at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, after the direct cross-examination of 1,000 witnesses from China for the rest of his life, the lawyers who defended Matsui Ishine in the Japanese legal team gave up the cross-examination. Let Ichiro Kiyose and other lawyers play. Therefore, there is not much to do between the two.

The rest of his life could not have guessed what Matsui Ishine was going to say to him.

Matsui Ishine made such a fuss that attracted the attention of the audience. After asking Yu Sheng and the prison warden for their opinions, the American GI agreed that Matsui Ishine would come forward and talk to Yu Sheng. However, there are only five minutes.

Matsui Ishine is a veteran of the Japanese military. When the Japanese invaded Nanjing, they were nearly sixty years old. He has a wide range of experience. Moreover, Matsui Ishine is very familiar with China. His father, Matsui Takekuni, was a well-known sinologist. Influenced by his family education, Matsui was extremely familiar with Chinese culture since he was a child.

And in 1904, after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, Matsui Ishine interrupted his studies and entered China with the army. Because of his courage and outstanding performance, he served as a member of the Chinese squad of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and a military attache stationed in Guangdong. Since then, he has established a very wide network in China.

Matsui Shigen's contacts in China are the first to recommend Chen Qimei, followed by the old Jiang Zhiqing, whose original name is Jiang Zhiqing, and is now suppressing bandits in China. With these two powerful connections, Matsui Shigen is like a fish in water in China. In 1915, Matsui was transferred to the post of Japanese military attaché in Shanghai. In 1922, Matsui was transferred to Harbin as the head of the Harbin secret service. Become a Chinese expert in the Japanese military circles.

Matsui Ishine has always believed in Greater Asianism. That is, we advocate the unity of Asia centered on Japan and jointly oppose Europe and the United States. Therefore, before the Japanese invaded China on a large scale, Matsui Ishone's position on China was ambiguous, and there was no absolute hostility or absolute friendship.

In 1936, Matsui Shigen visited Hu Hanmin, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Chen Jitang in his private capacity. Matsui tried to persuade these influential figures in China to admit to the Manchurians, but he ran into a wall again and again. Even Lao Jiang, who has always had a good relationship with Matsui Shigen, ignored him.

Matsui felt that his face was greatly damaged. It was very hurtful, and the area of the psychological shadow was simply incalculable. That's why they changed their attitude and went around preaching that they wanted to teach China a lesson.

Because he knows a little about Matsui Ishone, it is not surprising that Matsui Ishone can speak Chinese for the rest of his life. But Matsui Shigen, who is now old, asked, "Mr. Yu, I heard that at the New Asia Hotel in Shanghai. There was a strange explosion that was caused by a flour explosion. And Mr. Yu was in Shanghai at that time, does Mr. Yu have any impression? ”

Yu Sheng picked his ears and replied very easily: "Some impressions." ”

Matsui Ishone added: "Some time ago, my defense lawyer was killed because of a strange bombing. According to the investigation, it was also caused by a flour explosion. And Mr. Yu was in Tokyo at that time, does Mr. Yu have any impression? ”

Yu Sheng replied unceremoniously: "Matsui Ishine! If you have anything to say, say it quickly, so that you don't have to delay yourself on the road! ”

Matsui Ishone sighed. asked, "These two things, but Mr. Yu did them?" ”

Matsui Shigen's question, the rest of his life was a little surprised. The Americans have not investigated any clues, and this old guy can be suspicious. It's really not simple. Yu Sheng shook his head and smiled without answering. Prepare to leave.

Because, no matter how the rest of your life answers, the Americans will investigate it. It's better to pretend to be disdainful of answering, and the expression of "you've found the wrong person".

Matsui Ishine turned around and left regardless of whether he lived the rest of his life or not. He continued: "I am a Great Asianist, although Japan was defeated. However, China should be able to rise from there. Please also ask Mr. Yu's subordinates to be merciful. ”

As soon as Matsui Ishine's words came out, the Japanese Class A war criminals around him who could understand Chinese were shocked. Matsui Ishine is among them, and he can be regarded as an old qualification. He was so polite with people. And the information of the rest of their lives, most of these people have also seen it, Lenovo Matsui Shigen said. Many Class A war criminals who originally just regarded Yu Sheng as a figure in the entertainment industry changed their eyes when they looked at Yu Sheng.

For the rest of his life, I don't know what else Matsui Shigen knows, but he actually has this inference. In order to avoid suspicion on the part of the Americans, they all avoided answering questions. Pretend not to hear. Knowing that Matsui Ishine turned into a dead corpse on the gallows. Yu Shengcai said: "I am different from you, the inhumanity of the Japanese does not mean that I am also inhuman." My conquest does not need to slaughter innocents. Sooner or later you will be assimilated into us, and we will remain us. ”

When 20 Japanese Class A war criminals were turned dead on the gallows, 1948 passed quickly. In 1949, one era ended and another was about to begin.

At the end of 1948 and the beginning of 1949, the mood of Americans was not so cheerful. Due to the end of World War II, the reduction of war orders, the first post-war economic recession of the Americans finally occurred in 1948. In 1948, the growth of industrial and agricultural output in the United States was extremely slow. The unemployment rate reached five percent.

The Soviets, however, developed rapidly in these years. Swift enough to make Americans fidget. Moreover, Lao Chiang was defeated on the battlefield. Because of the mobile phone, a factor that affects the balance of war, the defeat is faster than the rest of his life can remember.

The Americans were afraid that after the Chinese and the Soviets joined forces, they would pose a huge threat to the United States. Therefore, in 1949, in order to expand their own market and economic system, and also to guard against and contain the Soviet Union, the attitude of the Americans towards the Japanese underwent a major change.

The Americans turned from acquiescing to Japan's economic recovery to brazenly supporting the reconstruction of Japan's economic and industrial systems. In February 1949, U.S. President Harry S. Truman asked Detroit banker Joseph Dodge to serve as MacArthur's economic and financial adviser to guide a new economic plan for Japan, that is, to implement the "Nine Principles of Economic Stability" and the "Three Principles of Wage Stability." This economic plan is known as the Dodge route.

The difference between this economic plan and the past is that the benefits that the Americans have given to the Japanese are simply too many to count. If the support of the Soviets for neighboring countries is still a friendly exchange between neighbors, then the support of the Americans for the Japanese in this Dodge route is simply a super show.

This economic plan gave up direct material aid to Japan from the Americans. However, the financial foundation of the Japanese people was quickly stabilized. In addition, the Americans sent a large number of experts to tailor appropriate fiscal and tax policies for the Japanese. At the same time, the advanced technology of the Americans was also exported to Japan in large quantities.

On this basis, the Japanese experienced the rapid economic development of the fifties and sixties. New industries emerged in large numbers, and industry and other industries began to flourish. The Japanese economic system was then integrated into the whole world. Inflation has stopped, and the control of materials has ended.

However, while the Americans supported the Japanese economy, it was not the Japanese who benefited the most. After the Japanese market and economy returned to normal, the true value of the resources and industries acquired at low prices only became apparent by Yu Sheng, together with other large and small chaebols in the United States, taking advantage of the downturn in the Japanese economy.

If calculated in terms of value, these large and small American chaebols who have united with the rest of their lives have made dozens of times more profits in Japan! And that's just the beginning. As Japan's economy recovers and develops, the value of these resources and industries will increase rapidly.

And the first to benefit from the Americans' economic aid program to Japan are the people who are the first to benefit.

After the defeat of Japan, the collapse of the economic system, and the dissolution of the zaibatsu. There are basically no rich people in the country. There are very few people who can afford to invest in factories and various industries. After the policy was liberalized, the first batch of funds poured in still belonged to the rest of the wealth predators.

And the Americans did not stop it. Not to mention, the one who is really in charge of the United States is itself a bunch of wealth predators. When the Americans set up the economic operation system for the Japanese, they also completely subsumed the economic system of the Japanese under the economic system of the Americans.

The single exchange rate system of the Dodge route has made the yen and the dollar closely linked, and it is impossible to escape the influence of the US economy. Americans don't mind, the connection has become a little closer. Although Japan no longer poses any threat to the United States, it is better to be wary of the younger brother who once attacked Pearl Harbor and tried to counterattack the boss.

Therefore, for the Japanese, this economic plan of the Americans also makes them painful and happy. After all, it is not the Japanese who are the first to benefit, and the one who benefits the most. Moreover, the investment of Americans also follows the rule of profit-seeking by capital, which is mainly short-term and fast. (To be continued.) )
