Gege's question is not unsharp, even though it has been more than 70 years since the end of World War II, this question is still difficult to answer.

However, looking at his daughter-in-law's puffing appearance, Yang Jing knew that he had to give his daughter-in-law an answer today, otherwise this girl who likes to drill on some issues will not be able to sleep tonight.

Yang Jing patted Gege's back lightly, and asked with a smile, "Do you really want to hear the answer?" But this answer may be cruel, if you know, I'm afraid you will be even more angry. ”

Gege looked at Yang Jing, nodded and said, "Husband, I know that you are for my good, although I don't know much about the history of this piece, I also know that the answer may make me more angry, but I still want to know." I'd rather be angry than curious. If I'm angry, you'll coax me, and I'll be happy eventually. But if I don't know the answer, I'll be curious and won't be able to sleep all night, and I'll toss you when the time comes......"

Well, this reason is strong enough, Yang Jing raised his hands and surrendered.

"Well, since you want to know about this, I'll tell you about it. First of all, if you want to understand why so many countries in South America accepted ** war criminals after the war, you have to start with the relationship between South America and Germany. ”

"Among the many countries in South America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and other countries have received ** war criminals, but Argentina is the country that receives the most ** war criminals. ”

"From the end of the war until the beginning of the fifties, one hundred and fifty ** elements have been identified as infiltrating Argentina, such as the aforementioned Martin Bauman, who eventually died in Paraguay, but who came to Paraguay after a period of seclusion in Argentina. In addition to Martin Baumann, there were such people as Josef Mengele, nicknamed the 'Angel of Death', a senior SS officer and physician at Auschwitz, and Adolf Eichmann, nicknamed 'The Executor' and the main executor of the Holocaust. Many of these ** war criminals were later dug up, but more of them lived quite freely by changing their names and surnames, some of these war criminals are dead, and many are still at large. It wasn't even until May 1998 that the ** war criminals Dinko Shakic and his wife, who had been living in seclusion in Argentina for 50 years, were arrested!"

Gege's eyes widened, obviously not quite believing what Yang Jing said.

Yang Jing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, when I saw these materials at the beginning, I didn't believe it, but the truth is so thrilling and unbelievable. There are many reasons for this situation, first of all, historical reasons. ”

"Since the second half of the nineteenth century, Argentina has been one of the main destinations for Europeans outside of the United States. Unlike other South American countries such as Brazil and Paraguay, where there is a large proportion of people of mixed race, Argentina is 95 percent white immigrants! And the immigrants to Argentina are mainly from Italy, Spain, and Germany in the Catholic regions of Central and Southern Europe, so Argentina has traditionally had very close ties with the Axis countries, and the government relations between the two sides have also been very good. At the end of the thirties, one fifth of Argentina's citizens were of German and Italian origin, of which about 250,000 were of German descent. Therefore, anti-Semitic sentiment in Argentina was very serious during that period. ”

"And the Argentine nationalist thinking in the thirties and forties of the last century was active and lax, which was very in tune with the ** thinking. So there are strong **-ism, anti-imperialist, anti-oligarchic nationalist tendencies among Argentine intellectuals and military officers. They believed that Germany could become an ally hostile to Anglo-American imperialism. So in that time period alone, there were more than 100 ** organizations in Argentina, and more than 40,000 ** party members. ”

"Daughter-in-law, do you know this person Belon?"

"Veron? Are you talking about Juan Veron, the bald midfielder from Argentina with the nickname 'White Wizard'? I like that ...... of that star."

Yang Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and finally raised his hands and said, "Okay, your kung fu is getting more and more perfect now!"

Gege pushed Yang Jing with a smile, "Haha, silly husband, I'll tease you." Of course I know Veron, in addition to the bald star named Juan Veron, I also know the Argentine post-war dictator Juan Veron. And I also know that guy has three wives, two of whom are amazing. I can't remember the name of this guy's first wife, but I know her nickname, Madame Perón, a very famous artist, and she sang "Argentina Don't Cry for Me". As for that guy's third wife, Isabel Peron, she is even more powerful, the first female president in the world! So, this Veron is much more powerful than that bald star. ”

Yang Jing smiled and gave a thumbs up to Gege.

"When it comes to the post-war ** war criminals, most of them fled to Argentina, which also has a great deal to do with this Veron. Because the Perón government at that time, especially Perón himself, had a considerable degree of sympathy for the idea, and the Argentine government also pursued an anti-Semitic policy at that time, and at the same time, Germany also had close contacts with the Argentine government during World War II, and promised to provide Argentina with a lot of trade opportunities after the war, so with the tacit consent of the great dictator Peron, so many ** war criminals fled to Argentina. ”

After a pause, Yang Jing continued to explain: "In 1939, Perón served as the military attache of the Argentine Embassy in Italy, during which he went to Germany and Spain more than once. He forged a strong 'friendship' with Italy, Germany, and the Franco regime in Spain. Therefore, when Latin American countries broke off diplomatic relations and declared war on the Axis powers, only Argentina still maintained diplomatic relations with the Axis powers, until shortly before the end of World War II, Perón had to declare war on Germany and Italy in order not to suffer the liquidation of the Allies. And there are many scientists and big chaebols among these ** elements who have fled, and Veron also wants to take this opportunity to turn over the economic, military and scientific and technological level of Argentina. In the fifties, German scientists took part in a series of weapons that Argentina tried to develop, from jet fighters to mushroom bombs. And not only Argentina, but Chile also accepted many ** war criminals at that time, and similar situations occurred in countries such as Brazil and Paraguay. ”

"That's why so many ** war criminals fled to South America after the war!

This answer is very helpless, but it is also very realistic. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies or friends in this world, only eternal interests. Between countries, interests are still the priority, and Argentina has taken in so many ** war criminals for the sake of those talents and those wealth, strictly speaking, this is really not right or wrong.

After the end of World War II, not only the United States, but also the Soviet Union, Britain, France and other allied countries desperately recruited those German experts in their own countries.

Don't think that those experts are not guilty, on the contrary, the weapons made through the minds and hands of those experts are the foundation of promoting the development of World War II, so the crimes of those so-called experts are actually not much less than those of Sitler, Goering, Hillman, Martin Bowman and other ** war criminals!

Gege nodded helplessly, although she felt uncomfortable, but this kind of thing was really unstoppable. In the face of the interests of the country, all sins can be covered!

However, Gege still had a question in her heart, so she asked: "The Allied blockade of Germany after the war was very tight, but how could those criminal executioners escape from Germany and cross the Atlantic to Argentina?

Yang Jing nodded and said: "That's right, the reason why these ** war criminals were able to escape from Germany and come to South America smoothly is that there are indeed some special escape routes, and the names of these routes in English are called 'ratline', which translates to 'rat route'!"

"Rat's route? Hehe, it's really quite vivid. Aren't those ** war criminals after the war like a bunch of rats that can't see the light?" Gege's mood began to improve a little.

Yang Jing also smiled, and then explained: "In fact, this rat route was not originally used for ** war criminals to flee, but was established by the Holy See in the Vatican in order to open up a convenient passage for European Catholics to immigrate to the New World in South America. As early as 1942, a number of senior clergy from Germany and Italy contacted the Argentine government to discuss the establishment of a 'fast track' for Catholic immigrants between the European continent and Argentina. ”

Soon after, Anton Weber, a priest from Germany, personally traveled from Germany to South America via Spain and Portugal, and based on the route of his trip, he opened the first 'rat route', the 'Spanish rat route'. Later, because of the close ties between the Catholic Church and the Argentine government, and the close personnel exchanges between different church personnel and the Argentine government, several other 'rat routes' were established through the communication of other church personnel, mainly through Italy to South America, so these personnel passages are also called 'Roman rat routes'. ”

"And because the Vatican was an ally of Germany and Italy during the war, or was controlled by Germany and Italy, these routes became the routes for the remnants to flee after the war, and the most used of them was the 'St. Girolamo Mouse Line' established by the Franciscan Catholic Church in Croatia. This route was originally established for the escape of officials of the Croatian puppet regime supported by Germany during World War II, and later became the main route for all the remnants of the party. At that time, these Croatian priests set up the headquarters of the operation line at the University of San Girolamo in Rome, Italy, and they had their people to meet the ** fugitives all the way from Austria to Genoa, Italy, forming a complete chain of fugitives. ”

Gege let out a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly again and said: "These guys are so powerful, they have even thought about how to escape, is this considered a defeat before victory?"

After speaking, Gege himself was amused by his own words, and then asked, "Yang Jing, where did you know so many things?"

Yang Jing pointed to the big box in front of him, and said with a bitter face: "Oh, have you seen these materials? These materials are only one-fifth of all materials, I have been studying these materials for a long time, of course I know these things." ”

"Then you were so excited just now, did you find any new clues?" Gege came over a little excitedly, looking for treasure or something, this girl is also full of interest.

"Well, it's almost, but we can't be sure of the authenticity of this clue yet, so, daughter-in-law, do you have time to accompany your husband on a trip to South America?" Yang Jing smiled and sent out an invitation.
