This chapter is 4000 words, the first 1500 words are copied information, and the last 2500 words are typed out by me.
Emperor Hirohito, the title of Di Gong when he was born, the seal number of the emblem is Wakatake, succeeded to the throne in the fifteenth year of Taisho (1926), and changed the Yuan Showa to the sentence "the people are Zhaoming, and the concord is Wanbang" in the "Book of Shang", so it is also called the Showa Emperor, he is the 124th Emperor of the Japanese Invaders, and it is the spiritual sustenance of the Japanese army. He personally approved Hideki Tojo to form an Axis with Hitler of Nazi Germany and Mussolini of Italy to launch the war in the Asian theater of World War II and invade Yanhuang and other countries. Ironically, Hirohito, the spiritual leader of the Japanese army after the defeat, not only did he not go unpunished, but instead reigned for 63 years, the longest reign and the longest life of any emperor other than the mythical emperor.
According to the historical records of Wang Fan's main plane, Hirohito ordered the army on August 5, 1937, not to abide by international law in the treatment of Yanhuang prisoners. In November 1937, a member of the imperial family, Hatohiko Asakanomiya, replaced the ailing Matsui Ishine as commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and commanded the campaign against Nanjing from December 2 to 6. King Hatohiko of the Asakami Palace personally issued an order to "kill all the captured personnel", which led to the tragic Yanhuang Nanjing Massacre. Later, on February 12, 1938, when Asakagu returned to Japan, Hirohito met him at the palace and praised him for his "achievements" in slaughtering the city, and gave him a pair of silver vases carved with the chrysanthemum emblem of the Japanese royal family as a token of appreciation. His military rank was also promoted to general for "meritorious" massacres.
In addition, Lieutenant General Ryuji Kajizuka, a Kwantung Army war criminal and army doctor who was later tried in Boli in the Soviet Union, confessed that Unit 731 was also established by imperial decree of the emperor. Even members of the imperial family were involved in the project, including the emperor's younger brothers, Chichibu and Prince Mikasa, and his uncle, Prince Minoru Higashikure, and other members of the imperial family who visited the bacteriological warfare laboratories in Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin. Prince Takeda Tsunetitsu, a cousin of the Emperor, held the important position of chief accountant of the Kwantung Army, and was in charge of approving visitors to each branch and issuing passes. When the commander of the Kwantung Army visited the 731 laboratory, Takeda supervised the whole process. Sheldon in the afterlife? According to the analysis of H. Harris's book "The Death Factory", Emperor Hirohito showed a strong interest in chemical warfare and bacteriological warfare before he succeeded to the throne in 1926, and he was not only a well-known marine biologist, but he was fascinated by diseased fungi, bacilli, and various culture studies at an early age, and Hirohito believed that science was a practical tool, a necessary means of warfare, including chemical warfare and bacteriological warfare. However, Emperor Hirohito, fearing greater retaliation for the use of biological and chemical weapons against the US military on the battlefield, ordered a strict ban on the use of biological and chemical weapons against the US military, so germ warfare was only aimed at Yan Huang (once again I felt that a weak country has no diplomacy, and dignity is fought out, not humble!!). )。
On July 18, 1944, Hideki Tojo was forced to resign from the responsibility of provoking the Pacific War, and after handing over military and political power, the resistance of the Japanese army became more fierce; The kamikaze squad, a deceased soldier of absolute allegiance to the Emperor, is rumored to have drunk the Emperor's Imperial Wine before the operation, shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor", and launched a suicide attack on the Allied forces.
On August 15, 1945, the Japanese surrendered with 7.2 million troops (almost all young and middle-aged men were soldiers). Under Hirohito's orders, they quickly withdrew their troops, abandoned their weapons, disarmed, handed over the occupied territories and handed over sovereignty to the Allied forces, and there were few cases of disobedience, which showed the appeal and credibility of Emperor Hirohito in the Japanese army. After the surrender of the Japanese Invaders, Yanhuang, Britain, the Soviet Union, Australia, New Zealand and other countries listed Hirohito as the number one war criminal of the Japanese Invaders. British Prime Minister Attlee and Soviet President Joseph Stalin separately telegraphed MacArthur, demanding severe punishment for the war criminal Emperor Hirohito, and suggesting that he be hanged after a public trial.
However, MacArthur considered that in order to support an ally in the Far East that was engaged in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and that it would not be in the interests of the United States for a Japanese pirate who had fallen into chaos due to the trial and execution of the emperor, and that the emperor system could play a role in rallying the Japanese against the Soviet Union, MacArthur himself supported abdicating the responsibility of the emperor for the war, and sent an urgent telegram to then US President Truman:
"The Japanese National...... He has been in great reverence for the Emperor for more than 100 years. During the Pacific War, a small number of militarists used it as a fanatical means of inciting nationalism and calling for self-sacrifice for the emperor. After the war, the worship of Emperor Hirohito by the Japanese people continued unabated, and he regarded him as a national god. I believe that if Emperor Hirohito were to be executed, the pillars of faith of the entire Wako people would be completely shattered, and even a frenzied riot and riot against the allies would be caused throughout the country. The execution of Hirohito is not tolerated by the whole country, and the future of our reconstruction and transformation of the Japanese is unimaginable, and the result may be a tragedy of history.
Therefore, as the plenipotentiary representative of the allies in the Wakoku, I have decided to prosecute Emperor Hirohito for exemption from responsibility for the war, out of consideration for the future fate of the Wako.
If the Allies decide to arrest and execute the Emperor as a war criminal, then the Allied High Command in Japan will need to be reinforced by 1 million combat troops......"
Washington quickly called back to agree with MacArthur, and MacArthur issued Order No. 1 of the Allied General Command (note, it was the first order!). ):
Out of concern for the future of the Japanese and the beliefs of the people, the allies decided not to hold the Japanese Emperor Hirohito accountable for starting the war, and not to prosecute or arrest them. In the future, Hirohito's personal status and personal freedom shall be protected by the same constitution as other Japanese citizens. In the end, not only was the emperor exempted from trial, but the 23 princes of the imperial family, who were high-ranking generals, were also protected, and all of them were not prosecuted!! (This is the paleness and powerlessness of our victors to deal with the number one criminal of the Japanese Invaders after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, sad, lamentable!!) )
On the night of April 20, 1943, in the underground bunker of the Wako Imperial Palace, a meeting was underway to decide the course of the war in the later period of the Wako Kingdom, which was attended by Emperor Hirohito, King Hatohiko of the pro-dynasty Kanomiya, Prime Minister of the Wako Cabinet and Minister of War Hideki Tojo, Chief of the Military Command Department Nagano Shusei, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, and Minister of the Navy Shigetaro Shimada (I will say a little more here, after 1933, the Minister of the Wako Navy was only responsible for the military and political management of the navy, and did not have the power to command the navy, The head of command of the Navy is the Chief of the Military Command Department. The Military Command Department was not only responsible for drafting orders, but also issuing operational orders under the leadership of the Military Command Department. The Lord of the Admiralty no longer has commanding authority. The military and political organs of the navy in the base camp of the Japanese were also subject to the command of the Military Command Department. The decision on the number of naval forces is also made by the Military Command Department. The powers of the Minister of the Navy and the Ministry of the Navy are reduced to administrative matters such as personnel and education, accounting and general affairs, medical services, design and production of warships and aircraft, preparation for military divisions, and training of naval officers and pilots. In this way, everyone has a clearer understanding of the power structure of the high-level Japanese at that time. )
"Admiral Yamamoto, is it true that what you just said that people who look like Emperor Meiji traded for "Shozuru"-class aircraft carriers? Hirohito asked.
"Hey! Your Majesty the Emperor, every word is true, I vouch for my life, there was also a high-ranking officer and staff officer present at that time, and I have already given a gag order, and those 3 aircraft carriers will return to the home port in 2 days! Yamamoto replied.
"Could that really be Emperor Meiji?" Hideki Tojo said.
"Probably not, first of all, Emperor Meiji has long since passed away, and according to Yamamoto's account, the person who looks like Emperor Meiji is quite disrespectful to Emperor Meiji in his words and sentences." Nagano Xiu, the chief of the Military Command Department, said, "But judging from what he did, he himself tends to be biased towards the side of the empire (poor guys, I don't know that the Jinji, Luyu, and Henan bombardments were also done by Wang Fan~~), and it can be seen from his transaction to give me the imperial navy aircraft carrier, this person is beneficial to my empire and harmless, and it should be worth wooing!" Now with these 3 aircraft carriers, plus the other 2 that will be traded in Sasebo in a few days, our Combined Fleet will soon be able to regain its former glory and overwhelm the Stars and Stripes Republic in strength and fight to the death with its Pacific Fleet! ”
"I agree with the words of the Eternal Night Commander," added the Admiralty Shigetaro, "I also think that this man is biased towards the Empire, and before he disappeared, he also revealed two important key points to Admiral Yamamoto, first, in addition to these five aircraft carriers, we can continue to order a large number of other warships from him if we wish, not only destroyers and aircraft carriers, which are urgently needed by the Empire, but also he said that it is a spot deal, saving the trouble of waiting for an unknown construction time, This is of great benefit to the lack of production capacity of the empire's domestic warships, secondly, it reveals that our army's black and purple secrets have been deciphered by the enemy, if it is true, it avoids the taboo of our army's movements that are known to the enemy, we are still in the dark, if it is really deciphered, even if the empire's combined fleet has an advantage in strength, it will be broken by the enemy's insight into weaknesses and each one! ”
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that this personal information is unknown, there is no distinction between camps, and I don't know his true identity at all, although he is now biased towards us, but he can't control it in his hands, it's really a big hidden danger for the empire!" Tojo said as he touched his mustache.
"The current war situation can't tolerate being so cautious!! The empire has reached the point of life and death, without the navy, without the sea, the reality of the island nation will make the empire the end of duckweed, no matter what his ultimate goal is, for money, for cultural relics or something else, as long as he can provide enough warships! Admiral Yamamoto, with these aircraft carriers, will you be able to replicate the great feat of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor once again and wipe out the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic? The head of the Military Command Department, Nagano Shushen, asked.
"Hey! We will do our best to wipe out the Pacific Navy of the Stars and Stripes Republic and create conditions for future peace and control. Yamamoto replied, "But even if we already have these aircraft carriers, there are still two problems that need to be solved. ”
"Which two questions, Admiral Yamamoto?" Hirohito asked.
"Hey! Your Majesty the Emperor, first, the man who opened his mouth to ask for the payment of five aircraft carriers, a total of 300 tons of gold and artifacts, and if he continued to order, such as destroyers and more aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, he would need to pay for more gold, jewels and artifacts; The second is personnel, although because the newly acquired aircraft carrier type is the "Xianghe" class aircraft carrier that our naval officers and men are familiar with, our side can quickly form combat effectiveness, and the fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes on board have also been inspected, and they are brand new, and they can be directly put into combat immediately, but because of the previous decisive battles at sea, we have lost a large number of experienced pilots, and more than half of the pilots with more than 1,500 flight hours of flight experience who were carefully trained in the past have been lost. The rest is simply not enough for the distribution of these aircraft carriers, as for the newly graduated freshmen of the naval academy, although they can already fly the aircraft for take-off and landing operations, but they can really be put into actual combat, they still need a certain amount of time of on-board training, if they are allowed to go directly to the battlefield now, it will be like a chick meets an eagle, and the battle damage is huge! I ask that enough experienced pilots be transferred from the Army to serve in the Combined Fleet! After saying that, Yamamoto Isoroku looked at Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister and Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Seeing Yamamoto and Hirohito looking at him one after another, Tojo replied, "The victory or defeat of the navy is related to the survival of our empire, and I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict that I can dispatch enough pilots from the army aviation to enrich the fleet of naval aviation as soon as possible to carry out operations, and be sure to concentrate all the combat strength of the empire and complete the battle to completely annihilate the Pacific Fleet of the Stars and Stripes Republic!" ”
"Your Excellency Tojo, please!" Hirohito nodded, then stood up and said loudly: "In the past, the previous emperor reduced the amount of one meal a day in order to raise military expenses for the navy, and today, I, Hirohito, will try to follow suit, and tomorrow I will order the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace to hand over a large number of cultural relics from Yanhuang and the southern Asian countries to His Excellency Tojo, and pay them together with the gold in the central bank's treasury, and at the same time order Admiral Yamamoto to order another batch of warships and aircraft carriers from him for the use of the combined fleet." As for the specific number and model, it is up to the imperial humerus ministers present to consider it. Ladies and gentlemen! The fate of the empire is entirely up to you, please!! With that, Hirohito bowed deeply to everyone.
"Hey! For the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of the Empire, I will not give up until I die! Yamamoto Isoroku, Tojo Hideki and the others stood together, bowing and replying loudly.
In mid-April 1943, the Yanhuang Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army stationed in North and Northeast China received an urgent dispatch from the Army Headquarters with the Emperor's seal, requesting that a large number of Army Aviation pilots be sent back to China.
