Not only in bacterial research, Japan's advancement is limited to East Asia. Compared with the old imperialist countries, Japan's gap in all aspects is very obvious. From this perspective, Shiro Ishii is right. When competing with traditional powers, Japan has no
Of any advantage, the only one that can be taken advantage of is the biological field. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
After all, biological research is inhumane. Even Japan conducts biological research under the banner of sewage treatment. The progress of biological research in various countries is strictly confidential, so it is normal for Ishii Shiro to misjudge. He committed the same crime as von Bu
Lawn made the same mistake, not knowing the extent of biological research in southern Africa.
Von Braun was a man of real talent and knowledge. The V2 rocket he led the development of did indeed create huge trouble for the British, which made the British gnash their teeth.
Shiro Ishii's research did not play a big role, at least it was not in line with Shiro Ishii's expectations. In the battle with the Allies, the Japanese army did not have many opportunities to apply biological weapons on the battlefield. The only time it made a big splash was in Kyushu.
Island, the people who suffered the most losses were the local civilians in Kyushu.
Therefore, if Shiro Ishii wanted to use his research results to threaten the Southern African Expeditionary Force, he would be terribly wrong. An Qi would rather let Shiro Ishii take his so-called "secret" to the grave than let Shiro Ishii go unpunished.
With Southern Africa as her back, An Qi had the confidence to reject Shiro Ishii.
Americans are very interested in Shiro Ishii's research.
Compared with the old imperialist countries, the United States started its biological research late and achieved few results. During the two world wars, the U.S. military never used biological weapons on the battlefield, which is enough to prove the U.S.'s blanks in biological weapons.
Therefore, Shiro Ishii's data is of little significance to southern Africa, but it has an important reference role for the United States.
Before Japan surrendered, there were 53 doctorate military doctors who were withdrawn from Unit 731 to Japan. All of them had been deeply involved in Japan's bacterial experiments. Some of them had cooperated with the United States and exchanged experimental data for American asylum.
Those doctors made a wrong calculation. The asylum of Americans cannot bypass southern Africa no matter what.
The list of war criminals was jointly determined by the US military and the Southern African Expeditionary Force. After it was determined, it was submitted to MacArthur and Angel for final approval. If both of them agreed, people could be arrested according to the list.
All military doctors who returned to Japan from Unit 731 are on the list of war criminals drawn up by the Southern African Expeditionary Force. Among them, Shiro Ishii, as a leader, organizer, planning, and execution of plans or secret plans, launched a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, and was indicted.
Included in the list of Class A war criminals.
This list was opposed by MacArthur.
"There are more than 8,500 war criminals. This is too large. The trial process may last for several years. This is not in line with our purpose. We need to end all this as quickly as possible and get back on the right track." MacArthur
It is believed that the scope of accountability is too large. Compared with the huge list compiled by the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the list of war criminals compiled by the US military only has 1,900 people.
It is impossible to execute all of these 1,900 people. In the end, a large number of them will be imprisoned or even released in court.
It should be noted that in the list provided by the United States, there is no one related to Unit 731.
However, An Qi knew that in the past few days, the US military had arrested at least ten doctorate military doctors who returned to Japan from Unit 731.
Time was another key to MacArthur's objections.
MacArthur was not as wishy-washy as Angel. He wanted to end the post-war accountability as quickly as possible, and then return to the United States to participate in the presidential election in the name of the savior of East Asia. How could he do it if it took too long?
"Without a thorough trial of criminal acts, justice cannot be served, and then this war will be meaningless." An Qi does not agree to reduce the scale, and it doesn't matter if it takes longer. An Qi has plenty of time to review it slowly.
Compared with the crimes committed by war criminals during the war, justice has been delayed.
Better late than never. 8,500 war criminals Angel thinks is too few. If Angel is asked to draw up a list of war criminals, then any Japanese who has been to the other side will be included in the list of war criminals.
The Allies divided war criminals into three levels: A, B, and C. The standard for Class A war criminals is to destroy peace and launch a war of aggression.
The criteria for a Class B war criminal are those who ordered, permitted or permitted the ill-treatment of prisoners of war or civilians, or who intentionally or recklessly neglected their responsibilities and failed to prevent atrocities.
The standard for Class C war criminals is crimes against humanity, targeting those who actually kill or torture.
According to this standard, almost every Japanese soldier is a war criminal, especially members of the field troops who always torture and kill prisoners to train new recruits.
So the 8,500 people in southern Africa are quite restrained.
Such a comparison shows how tolerant American standards are.
"The war is over, and our most important task now is to appease the Japanese and restore order -" From a politician's standpoint, MacArthur's reasons make sense.
But from the standpoint of a soldier and an American, MacArthur's words were simply rebellious.
"Did you know that Unit 731 used Americans as consumables for biological experiments?" An Qi was also dissatisfied with the list provided by the United States.
"How could such a thing be possible?" MacArthur obviously had not paid attention to the problems of Unit 731.
Yes, Unit 731 may not be as important to MacArthur as the results of Time Magazine's presidential candidate support survey.
Although the U.S. presidential election has not yet begun, the Republican Party has determined that Thomas Dewey will run on behalf of the Republican Party.
The candidate to represent the Democratic Party is still undecided. Currently, Truman has the loudest voice, and others also have opportunities.
This opportunity is only to run on behalf of the Democratic Party. Whether he can defeat Thomas Dewey remains to be seen.
In all media support surveys, Thomas Dewey leads by a wide margin.
What makes MacArthur sad is that almost no one is optimistic about his candidacy on behalf of the Democratic Party, let alone defeating Thomas Dewey. Only a few media people with good personal relationships with MacArthur are helping MacArthur advocate. Unfortunately, the responders can't even talk about it.
Eisenhower, who had not expressed his intention to run, had higher approval ratings than MacArthur.
Although Eisenhower rarely performed well in his position as commander-in-chief of the US military in Europe, he actually won the support of the US military in Europe.
Although soldiers are not eligible to vote while serving, they will be fine after retirement. With the support of the European US military, the European US military will be able to carry Eisenhower into Whitehall in a few years.
"Didn't you arrest many Ph.D. medics from Unit 731? Didn't you interrogate them?" An Qi didn't believe that MacArthur knew nothing.
Without MacArthur's order, the US military would not arrest people directly.
So now there is only one possibility left, that they have reached some kind of agreement.
"We have arrested too many people during this period and do not have time to interrogate them one by one. This is the work of the military court and we will not interfere." MacArthur had a good reason. The US military arrested as many as 800 people during this period.
Naturally, the Southern African Expeditionary Force captured more people. The Yachao Prison was not enough, so it built two more prisons to continue arresting people. Some of the captured war criminals also participated in the construction of new prisons.
If she wasn't afraid of people freezing to death, An Qi would have just put up a tent and that would be it.
The winter in Japan is quite cold, and many homeless people freeze to death every year. If it is just a tent, the people in the tent may not be able to survive this winter.
War criminals are also a valuable asset. Not to mention the information and materials they possess, based solely on labor force, 7 million Japanese troops are worth a lot of money.
Russia was so cruel in Europe and attacked the Germans so cruelly. It also took about 700,000 Kwantung Army prisoners of war to Russia to serve as labor force. Southern Africa has a long tradition of making full use of its labor force and will certainly not turn a blind eye.
Those overseas soldiers who are returning to Japan in batches will be arrested when they return to Japan. They may not be tried as war criminals, but they can be spared the death penalty and cannot escape life. They are destined to spend a long life in prison with hard work.
labor to atone for his wrongdoings during the war.
Even if you have never done anything, joining the Japanese army is a crime in itself.
"Okay, now I tell you, how are you going to treat those military doctors?" Angel did not give MacArthur a chance to prevaricate.
She said she didn't know before, but now An Qi has pointed it out directly. There's no way she can pretend to be crazy or act stupid.
"They were actually victims of the war. They were coerced and forced to participate in the war. Many people still don't know what they were studying. To fully expose the crimes of Unit 731, the key is Shiro Ishii. If you are willing to expose Shiro Ishii
Leave it to me, and I can guarantee that all those responsible for the war will be punished justly." MacArthur still wanted people at his core, and promises were not important.
See clearly, those who should be responsible for the war will be punished justly.
Since doctors and military doctors did not directly participate in the war, they naturally did not need to go to court.
"What we are doing now will be studied over and over again in a few years. We are soldiers first, and what we do must be worthy of our status." An Qi reminded MacArthur not to overdo it.
It was not only Angel who thought this way, but also Lieutenant General Berriman Frank Horton, Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Expeditionary Force.
Horton was the son of an autoworker and participated in World War I. During World War II, he first commanded the Australian army to fight with the British army in North Africa. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, he returned to Australia and served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Expeditionary Force in the Southwest Pacific Alliance.
Chief of Staff, Army High Command.
Like most Australians, Horton had a tough attitude towards Japan. After Japan surrendered, he repeatedly proposed to Angel and MacArthur in person that Hirohito be included in the list of Class A war criminals and that Japanese war criminals should be thoroughly liquidated.
.
The Australian Expeditionary Force was responsible for the management of Japanese prisoners of war. The 400,000 Japanese prisoners of war in the Philippines were severely reduced under the management of the Australian Expeditionary Force. In Manila alone, at least 50,000 Japanese prisoners of war died during the reconstruction of Manila.
Australia has rich experience in managing prisoners of war. Those Japanese prisoners of war who died were definitely not deliberately tortured and killed by the Australians, but died from various accidents, such as diseases.
This summer, nearly 10,000 Japanese prisoners of war died in a plague outbreak. The cause of the plague outbreak was also related to the atrocities of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was rampant in the Philippines, and millions of Filipinos died during the war. After these people died, their bodies were not properly disposed of. In addition, the weather in the Philippines is hot, and a plague will break out after a period of time.
Those Japanese prisoners of war who were infected with the plague were infected with the plague while handling those corpses.
A little trivia: During World War II, the country with the most serious Japanese military losses overseas was the Philippines, where about 490,000 people died.
Considering that the total number of Japanese troops in the Philippines is only 630,000, we know what the number 480,000 represents.
Compared with the Japanese army, Australia only had 340,000 casualties during World War II, which is a stark contrast.
"40,000 people represent 40,000 broken families. There are hundreds of thousands of Australians affected by this. Australia does not have 80 million people. We cannot afford this level of losses." Horton looked painful.
The purpose of coming to see An Qi is to get more rights to manage prisoners of war.
Horton now fully understands the benefits of prisoners of war. With the efficiency of southern Africa, the construction of Darwin Port took a year and a half. Using Japanese prisoners of war, it would have been eight months at most.
The key point is that apart from the meager rations, there are almost no other costs. Holden can squeeze the remaining value of Japanese prisoners of war to his heart's content. Not only will he not be criticized by the Australians, but he will be treated as a hero.
After serving as a soldier all his life, Holden has never been so satisfied.
"You should learn from the Russians and see how the Russians manage Japanese prisoners of war." Angel doesn't want Horton to succeed. Southern Africa also needs labor. Changi Naval Base is undergoing the fourth phase of expansion. The more labor the better.
.
After Operation August Storm, Vasilevsky returned to Russia with 500,000 Kwantung Army prisoners of war, and was once again awarded the title of "Hero of Russia", achieving great success.
The 500,000 prisoners of war brought far more to Russia than 500,000 free labor. The key was a change in the way of thinking.
In Europe, if the Russian army captures Germans, they basically shoot them on the spot and have no interest in imprisoning them. Those prisoners of war who were escorted to Moscow for a parade were not Germans.
There is no unsolvable blood feud between Russia and Japan. Due to the war losses, Russia urgently needs to supplement its labor force, especially Siberia, which is already sparsely populated.
Vasilevsky's unintentional move opened a new door for Russia and allowed the Russians to understand the correct way to use prisoners of war.
At least compared to the Australians, the Russians' attitude towards Japanese prisoners of war was benevolent. In another time and space, after the normalization of relations between Russia and Japan, approximately 440,000 Japanese prisoners of war returned to Japan.
