The harm caused to our people by the War of Resistance Against Japan is self-evident, and this is the largest catastrophe in our country in the history of 5,000 years. Among them, countless Sons and Daughters of China have sacrificed their precious lives to defend the mountains and rivers of the motherland. And this war has also made the people of the country who have been scattered in modern times and fought for each other into a whole.
When it comes to the key person who launched the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was not Emperor Hirohito, but The Prime Minister of Japan at that time, Hideki Tojo. He was an important mastermind of the invasion of our country and the launching of the Pacific War, and was known as the three fascist leaders along with Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Japan at that time.
After the end of World War II, Hideki Tojo was naturally liquidated. He was convicted a Class A war criminal and sentenced to death by hanging on 12 November 1948. Compared to Hitler shooting himself in the bunker, or Mussolini being shot by the guerrillas and shown to the public, Hideki Tojo's fate is quite OK.
It is worth mentioning that Hideki Tojo already knew that he could not escape the justice trial, so he thought of shooting himself, and as a result, he failed to hit the key suicide with one shot, which also made the people of the world laugh.
Then again, after Hideki Tojo died, he left his only son, Hui xiong Tojo. Carrying his father's aura as a war criminal, how did Tojo Keio grow up?
In fact, although Hideki Tojo was ostensibly an out-and-out militarist fanatic, he did not want Tojo to join the army. Under his guidance in his early years, Tojo graduated from the Department of Aeronautics at Tokyo Imperial University and became an engineer at the Mitsubishi Group, a pillar of Japan's heavy industry. During World War II, Japan's famous "Zero fighter", Tojo Keio participated in the design and production.
What is intriguing is that before His death, Hideki Tojo specifically explained that his family resolutely refused to admit anything related to the war, and he himself did not admit guilt until his death, resulting in the tumor of militarist ideology still running rampant in Japan. To this day, many Japanese extremists still regard Hideki Tojo as a hero.
As the only son of Hideki Tojo, Tojo Keio was naturally supported by this concept. Although the Japanese aviation industry was completely banned after World War II, Tojo Keio did not lose his job, but was promoted by the Mitsubishi Group, and eventually became the president of Mitsubishi Motors. Now that Mitsubishi Motors is selling so well in China, who would have thought that the boss behind this was actually the son of a Class A war criminal who invaded China?
Of course, Tojo has also been following his father's instructions for many years, and has been silent about World War II and his father. However, his daughter Yufuko Tojo is different, and she has always insisted that her grandfather did not do anything wrong. He also repeatedly declared Hideki Tojo a hero in a vain attempt to overturn the case.
Of course, for the fact that Hideki Tojo is a hero, no country in the world except Japan will believe this kind of nonsense. For this reason, Tojo Yubuko's husband was also very upset, and repeatedly wanted her not to mention the old things, and even asked his wife to change her surname. However, Yubuko never gave up, and in the end the two had to divorce.
On November 9, 2012, Keio Tojo died in Tokyo at the age of 98. It is undeniable that the reason why he has achieved such achievements in his life and become the core figure of the Mitsubishi Company, the four major Japanese consortiums, is not unrelated to his father's aura. In some ways, this also proves that the Japanese still have an improper attitude towards World War II.
How can a people who can lift the sons of World War II Class A war criminals to heaven expect them to apologize for the atrocities of World War II? It is said that Tojo Yufuko still goes to the Yasukuni Shrine every year to pay homage to his grandfather, and this act of forgetting history has really spurned countless countries that have been invaded by the Japanese army.
