Those military enterprises? How else? In the past, it was full of wind and water, and now it is still there, and it is still alive and well.
If you say something bad, he will give you a bow when you meet, of course, this is their custom, there is no meaning of apology or apology.
This seems to be a bit abrupt, some small partners can not understand, feel that the small editor today is the brain pumping, the morning drank two or two small burns, why is it so out of tune?
Forget about not arguing with the big guys, let's get into the main topic!
Xiaobian thinks that the big guys want to understand the Military Enterprises of World War II in Japan, let's start from the chaebols in Japan, you can understand a rough idea.
Japanese chaebol
Why? The Japanese chaebol is a strong backing of Japanese militarism, and there is an old saying that as long as there are chaebols in Japan, Japan is the Japan of the chaebols.
It sounds like a twist, but that's the way it is. In the past, there were four major chaebols in Japan, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Yasuda.
The big guys are very familiar with these names, at least the first three have heard of it, in fact, the fourth one you should know, because Yasuda is now called Fuji.
Qi lived in the past four major consortiums, and now the four major consortiums, one is not less alive and well.
Because of the limited space, let's introduce Mitsubishi, after all, the popularity of these companies is relatively high, and the big guys simply understand these chaebols in Japan.
It is said that Mitsui was a wealthy merchant who developed from the Tokugawa period, and Mitsubishi was a privileged merchant who was supported by the Japanese government during the Meiji Restoration.
Therefore, when you look through the historical materials, you will find that Mitsubishi is a very good enterprise, he not only produces all kinds of military equipment, but also follows the footsteps of the Japanese invasion of China, doing all kinds of business, what coal, wheat, tobacco, sugar, medicine, etc., then you can see his shadow.
That is to say, Mitsubishi is a very strong supporter of Japan's war of foreign aggression, and wherever the Japanese soldiers are, he can follow them.
Most of these chaebols in Japan are family chaebols, and the fundamental reason is that The Meiji Restoration in Japan was incomplete.
Japan's Meiji Restoration said that it was a revolutionary change, but in fact, in the final analysis, some of Japan's feudal system was not broken at all, and other than that their emperor has lived well until now.
Are feudals joking about breaking the feudal system? This is equivalent to taking a gun and shooting yourself in the head, how desperate it is to get to this point, the Japanese emperor obviously will not do this. After all, at the end of World War II, everyone can see that Japan is about to be defeated, and the Japanese emperor still pulls all the Japanese people to a hundred million jade fragments, the purpose of which is to make the Americans accept the pardon of the emperor and the culprit of the second world war.
Therefore, the Japanese of the Meiji Restoration, they will only carry out changes that do not involve too much loss to themselves in order to maintain their rule.
Then these Japanese chaebols you see, the whole system is not much different from the feudal system in the past.
In Japan, for example, in the case of companies, it is a pyramid-shaped pyramid with a pyramid that points to control almost all the companies under the pyramid. The shareholders of these companies are either the holding company of the spire or the investors of the same family.
Let's not say anything else, let's talk about Mitsubishi, after World War II, the United States investigated it, and almost half of the shares of this Mitsubishi were in the hands of the ten Iwasaki families.
As soon as the Americans saw this virtue, they issued an order to dissolve the chaebols, and this order was under the military control at that time, and if it was resolutely carried out, the Japanese chaebols would be annihilated.
The problem is that the United States will not carry out this order thoroughly at all, and the fundamental reason is that the United States feels that it needs these guys to serve its own occupation of Japan, and even to deter Asia from serving.
So after the end of 1947, Japan abandoned the practice of weakening Japan, but vigorously supported them, and provided economic assistance of 2.128 billion US dollars in order to make them develop better.
This is also the fundamental reason why these chaebols can still pass well today.
Having said all this, it is like writing a paper, let's pinch here, next, let's understand what Mitsubishi is doing?
shipbuilding.
This industry is a fundamental industry of Mitsubishi. If you look at the historical materials, you will find that the prosperity of Mitsubishi's industry is quite in line with the time when Japan launched the war in World War II.
Let's not say how many things are manufactured, let's look at Mitsubishi's investment in shipbuilding from 1933 to 1941.
In 1933, Mitsubishi invested in shipbuilding this piece of money is one hundred and thirty-two thousand six thousand one hundred and seventy-four yen, there are zero and tidy, here to remind the big guys, World War II that will be one yen equal to one dollar, the dollar will be worth the old nose, a piece is estimated to be exchanged for the current ten pieces.
By 1936, investment in shipbuilding had multiplied tenfold to more than 12 million yen.
Why? Stepping up preparations for invading China, Mitsubishi used two shipbuilding offices a few years ago, and since the beginning of this year, it has become three shipbuilding offices.
By 1937, this had become four shipyards.
By 1938, Mitsubishi's investment in shipbuilding was approaching 20 million yen.
Everyone should know that on July 7, 1937, Japan began a full-scale war of aggression against China, and in 1938 it reached a climax.
In this year, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Nanjing Massacre, the establishment of the Restoration Government of the Republic of China, the predecessor of Wang Jingwei's puppet regime, the Great Victory of Taierzhuang, the Fall of Xiamen, the Fall of Hefei, the Fall of Xuzhou, the Fall of Anqing, the Opening of the Battle of Wuhan, the Great Victory of Wanjialing, the Fall of Guangzhou, the Fall of Wuhan, and the first anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre.
All of this happened in 1938, and some of my friends have to ask: "The Nanjing Massacre and the first anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre are in the same year?" ”
Of course, because the Nanjing Massacre ended in February 1938, and December 1938 was the first anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese killed for two months.
So can you say that Mitsubishi did not have any responsibility for the war of aggression against China? If not, it is the blind man lying to a deaf man.
Don't tell the editor that the invasion of China was a land war, and there is no navy business. Don't forget that Japan is an island nation, and when did he transport back what he had looted? Mobilized soldiers, what did he pull to China, and how did he pull all kinds of equipment made in Japan to China?
Don't say this, just say one can refute it, let's continue to talk about things.
The data is not deceptive, and by 1939, Mitsubishi's investment in shipbuilding had become a little more than ten million yen.
By 1940, Mitsubishi's investment in shipbuilding had become five million yen.
At this point in time, the Japanese were already deeply involved in the Chinese battlefield, and they could not fight, so the investment of five million yen was a lot.
Do you know how much Mitsubishi invested in shipbuilding in 1941, the year of the Pacific War? It is more than 46 million yen, which is nearly three times more than the highest point of the war of aggression against China.
This is investment, but what about the warships built? If we compare the number of warships built by the Japanese Navy Yard with Mitsubishi, you will be a little clearer.
In 1934, the Japanese Navy Yard built six ships of more than 20,000 tons, while Mitsubishi had two ships of more than 9,000 tons.
In 1938, the Navy Yard built six ships of 16,000 tons, while Mitsubishi had five ships of more than 11,000 tons.
In 1941 the Navy Yard built ten ships of more than eighteen thousand tons, three hundred and nine, and more than forty-five thousand tons.
In 1941, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and the Japanese Naval Plant were built in almost the same number, but his total tonnage far exceeded that of the Japanese Navy Yard, accounting for one-third of the total tonnage built that year.
After all, the Pacific War was a naval war, you can understand.
Even in 1944, when the war was about to end, Mitsubishi still built seven hundred and thirty-three ships, which were still more than a hundred tons, and those below one hundred tons had not yet been calculated for you.
If nothing else, during World War II, the Japanese Navy had only twenty-five aircraft carriers, and Mitsubishi built five.
So you can feel that Mitsubishi is increasing or shrinking its production capacity with the demand of Japan's war of aggression.
Then there's aviation.
This is also an important industry for Mitsubishi, which was developed by a division of the Mitsubishi internal combustion engine.
In 1928, Mitsubishi could build any sea aircraft, land aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers.
Then Mitsubishi's investment in aviation is also closely related to the footsteps of the Japanese invaders.
In 1937, the two manufacturing facilities were more than 60 million yen.
In 1938, three manufacturing plants, more than 150 million yen.
In 1939, there were four manufacturing facilities, more than 100 million yen.
Seeing that there are estimated small partners here who feel wrong, the war of aggression against China has begun, why do they still invest less? In fact, it is very simple, we don't have many planes available, and these planes are enough for the Japanese to use.
By 1941, there were five manufacturing facilities, and Mitsubishi had invested 270 million.
When the Pacific War broke out, Japan began to step up the production of aircraft, after all, the United States and China are not the same, aircraft are some, modern war aircraft can be an important military equipment.
These investments peaked in 1943 with six manufacturing facilities, and Mitsubishi's investment was approaching six hundred million.
Of course, the decline began to fall, after all, steel was no longer available, the Japanese even began to pry manhole covers, pull out telephone poles to make steel, and then the American aircraft began to take care of the Japanese arsenals, by 1945, there were still three manufacturing plants in operation, and the investment had fallen to more than 40 million yen.
Why? The number of aircraft manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries accounted for a little more than 20% of Japan's aviation aircraft production during the all-out war of aggression against China, second only to Nakajima Aircraft.
There are many aircraft produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, such as the Type 97 Command Reconnaissance Aircraft used by the Army, the Type 97 heavy bomber, the Type 97 light bomber, the Type 96 heavy bomber used by the Navy, and the Type 97 light bomber used by the Army.
Let's talk about Mitsubishi's division that produces chariots.
This department, in fact, like aviation, is differentiated from Mitsubishi's internal combustion engine division, and any medium-sized combat vehicle, light combat vehicle, and artillery fighting vehicle can be produced.
To explain here, the tanks that the Japanese are talking about are actually tanks.
Mitsubishi's production of these vehicles began in 1930, when five Type 89 medium tanks were produced.
By the time Japan began its all-out invasion of China, the division had a certain scale, and during the war Mitsubishi produced more than 3,400 chariots, of which medium-sized chariots were Mitsubishi's main products, accounting for about two-thirds of his total production quota.
Of course, in addition to the above three main departments, Mitsubishi also has other departments, such as steel, light metals, chemical industry and so on.
If nothing else, let's say that the steel piece, Mitsubishi's own production of steel, is enough to digest and absorb its own departments, and there is no need to buy it from other enterprises.
If you think about Mitsubishi's ships, planes, and chariots, you know that Mitsubishi's steel department is still a behemoth.
As for the light metal, it was supplied to their own production aircraft.
The chemical industry has given support to the Japanese military industry.
What does chemistry do? Xiaobian leaves a small tail here, you can guess for yourself.
Why? In addition to these things, after Japan launched the war of aggression against China, the Mitsubishi chaebols extended their feet to the soil of China, and with the increase of Japan's pace of invasion of China, this kind of penetration is comprehensive.
So you can say that Mitsubishi's activities in China took place under the orders of the Japanese military department.
There are many more of these trades, including the requisition of grain in North China, the purchase of cotton, the management of agriculture in Northeast China, and the reception of factories in various places on the land of China, all of which are the same as those of Mitsubishi.
Of course, what is the acquisition here, do you feel that he can be a normal acquisition?
If nothing else, Mitsubishi's penetration in the northeast can be said to be pervasive, at first it also set up a headquarters in Dalian to manage the affairs of northeast China, and later because of japan's erosion in the northeast, Changchun's position was prominent, and the headquarters of Dalian was moved to Changchun.
It is estimated that a small partner will ask: "Why is the status of Changchun prominent?" ”
Quite simply, Changchun is a center of puppet Manchukuo, as for what center, you think about it yourself, Xiaobian is a little disgusting and does not want to say.
Okay, let's move on.
From 1942 to 1943, in just one year of kung fu, Mitsubishi had eighteen offices in Tianjin, Beijing, Qingdao, Jinan, and Zhangjiakou, and the number of Japanese staff alone exceeded 500.
Why? Japan lacked the resources on hand, stepped up the looting to support the Japanese front, and the plundering of coal, iron ore, salt, cotton, tea, grain, and medicine in China during this period was even more explosive.
As you can imagine, Mitsubishi also set up an oil association in Beijing.
Therefore, the Mitsubishi chaebols were closely bound together through the war of aggression between Mitsubishi and Japan, and they were inseparable.
But what you don't know is that after the end of the war, Mitsubishi's leader, Iwasaki Koyata, opened his eyes and said nonsense, what Mitsubishi and the Japanese military department had nothing to do with each other, and said that it was Mitsubishi's creed to assist Japan in invading China, and it was the faith of thirteen thousand shareholders, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
If people don't want skin, then the world is invincible, and this is the person who is said.
