The Japanese invaders have left a heavy scar on our beautiful land of China, and we will never forget the massacres, plunders, and ruthless destruction of women and children.
And, even more heinously, in addition to this direct, blood-curdling injury, they have done many extremely insidious things to maim our people, one of which is the opium ravages in the occupied areas.
The "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" plan proposed by Japan during the period of its invasion of China, ostensibly "co-prosperity," is in fact a delusional, all-Asia colonial plan. Then, since it was a colonization, it was necessary to use force to suppress the people's resistance, and at the same time, it was necessary to inject "poison" into the local people, so that they would gradually lose their combat effectiveness.
There are also many varieties of such "poisons", ranging from sugar-coated shells, which refer to the use of money and power to seduce those who are not firm in their positions and make them do dog legs; there are also those "chronic poisons" that seem to be non-toxic but are even more terrifying, such as popularizing Japanese and Japanese culture in the occupied areas, and letting opium rage.
Immersing children in the Japanese language environment from an early age will make them lose awareness of the sovereignty of the country, and make the new generation of Chinese people lose their combat effectiveness
Leave opium unregulated, and the effect will be even more terrifying! After all, where can a smoker lying in bed smoking a cigarette pick up a gun to resist the Japanese invaders?
Therefore, in order to make opium more deeply pollute Chinese minds, the cunning Japanese Kou came up with many ideas that lost their conscience, and the consequences were no less than the Nanjing Massacre.
At the beginning of Jiang Wen's film "Evil Does Not Pressure righteousness", there is a plot in which the Japanese forced northeasterners to plant poppies, which is not to highlight the contradictions between China and Japan at that time.
The truth of history is that after occupying the northeast of our country and Mongolia and other regions, the Japanese changed many fertile fields into poppy fields and widely cultivated poppies.
In addition to cultivation, the Japanese also glorified the opium industry as a serious trade industry, and let the puppet regime they had single-handedly supported approved them as legal monopolies of opium, and then began further evil plans in order to sell the large quantities of opium they had hoarded.
In order to make the broad masses of people willing to accept opium, the Japanese described the drug of opium as a panacea for all diseases and physical fitness, and then because of the limited cultural level of people at that time, opium took root in China for nearly a hundred years.
Moreover, in order to give these addicts a place to vent their smoking addiction, the Japanese also extensively established tobacco houses in the occupied areas, and even published advertisements in newspapers for the "opening of the tobacco houses" to attract people's attention.
In the end, in order to expand the number of drug addicts, they really went to poisoning! Mixing opium powder into flour and cigarettes has forced many people who were originally determined to embark on the road of no return of smoking big cigarettes.
As a result, the number of people addicted to tobacco addiction among the occupied areas has increased considerably. According to historical records, nearly 100,000 people in Nanjing alone, that is, almost a quarter of the population in Nanjing, regard opium as a necessity.
After having a wide audience, the poppies that were widely planted by the Japanese also came in handy, and a large amount of opium poured into China's economic market, and the dark opium paste turned at the smoke house and became a snow-white silver dollar.
According to statistics, the annual income of a location in Nanjing Alone is enough for the Japanese to produce four or five aircraft carriers. A single tobacco house in Nanjing makes an annual profit of up to 500 million US dollars.
So where is this snow-white silver going?
That's the military factory built by the Japanese. By establishing a complete drug trade chain in China, the Japanese rebuilt industries in the occupied areas that had been withdrawn by the Kuomintang, and sent large amounts of money to the local armaments factories to produce weapons and ammunition.
Therefore, these silver are ill-gotten gains stained with the blood and tears of the Chinese people. From the beginning of opium cultivation, there have been a large number of peasants forced to work, a large number of fertile land has been polluted, not to mention the damage caused by the families who are broken by the addiction to tobacco, and the war waged by the Japanese with the money from the opium sale.
And what is even more frightening is that although drug addiction can be stopped, the recurrence rate is extremely high, so even if we eventually deport the Japanese Kou, the impact they have caused is still there.
Many people lose their labor force because of drug addiction, and when they are in ruins, they are unable to contribute their strength and live in the double torture of physical and mental suffering.
This shows how sinister the Japanese were at that time.
