Unit 731, Shiro Ishii, these two names, during the War of Resistance, can be said to be demonic existence, this murderous demon king who committed numerous crimes in China, but did not appear at the Tokyo Trial after the end of World War II, and can even be said to mysteriously disappear, and everyone did not mention anything about the members of the murderous unit who committed heinous crimes and the crimes committed. Why? Where did they go?
Here we begin with this Japanese officer named Shiro Ishii, who was the founder and head of the 731 Unit, and after Japan occupied the northeast of our country, he began to establish a bacteriological weapons laboratory in the northeast. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ishii Shiro's 731 Unit used Chinese for human experiments, and achieved the development of bacteriological weapons. It can be said that he is a complete killer demon king.
This is such a murderous demon king, after Japan's defeat in the war, but secretly fled back to Japan, and six months after Japan announced its surrender, some Japanese media suddenly broke out that Ishii Shiro had died and held a funeral in his hometown. What's going on? Less than half a year after returning to Japan, this murderous demon king died? Was it too cheap for this demon to be tried justly? Or is there some hidden secret in this? Shiro Ishii's death made everyone feel incredible. Also feeling strange was the Allied Intelligence Department against the enemy. This was a special intelligence service set up by the allies after the war to investigate the crimes committed by Japan. Hearing that Shiro Ishii was dead, they immediately sent intelligence officers to Japan to investigate the truth. As a result, they found that in a geisha inn in Shinjuku, they found a person who looked very similar to Shiro Ishii, and after careful examination, this person was Shiro Ishii. Isn't he already dead? How did it end up at the Geisha Inn?
When Ishii Shiro returned to Japan, he knew of the heinous crimes he had committed, and he would certainly be doomed at the next Tokyo trial. So he thought of this deception to escape the court's trial. In this way, Ishii Shiro's plan was shattered. Since the Allied Intelligence Department had already figured out Ishii Shiro's tricks, why wasn't there a single member of the former 731 Unit in the subsequent trial? Where did they go? What did the United States do when it found Shiro Ishii?
A clue was later found at the U.S. Military Base at Fort Detrick in Maryland. Here one finds a special number seven-three-one. How did this number, once synonymous with Shiro Ishii, appear on a U.S. military base? Could it be that Shiro Ishii and his bacteriological weapons unit are inside this military base? What if that's really the case? What role does the United States play in this, and what are the hidden secrets between them?
Fort Detrick was a secret military base established during World War II in the United States specializing in chemical weapons, and from this base, the role of this base seems to be closely related to the experimental content of Shiro Ishii's Unit 731. What is the truth of the matter?
After the U.S. intelligence services discovered Ishii Shiro, the news quickly spread back to China, and MacArthur, who was the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces at the time, got the news and flew to Japan on purpose to meet with Ishii Shiro. Why does the U.S. military attach so much importance to Shiro Ishii?
All the reasons are because of the secrets of Shiro Ishii. At that time, when retreating from the northeast of our country, the Japanese military issued an order to the 731 unit that all materials must be destroyed and that nothing can remain in this world. After returning to China, all members of the 731 unit are anonymous and must not disclose any secrets about the 731 unit. However, this Ishii Shiro did not fully carry out the orders of the military department, and when he fled back to Japan, he brought back a large amount of experimental data and materials from China. Only to return to Japan and hide his name. This happened before Shiro Ishii published information about his death in the media.
When U.S. intelligence discovered him hiding in a geisha hotel, he also thought he could not escape trial. But what he didn't know was that the United States had actually noticed his experiments and his experiments as early as 1941. In fact, at that time, not only Japan and Germany were secretly studying the weapons of life, but the United States was also conducting the same research. To this end, they also established the secret military base of Fort Detrick. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt even thought that chemical and biological weapons were more lethal than atomic bombs. To this end, the United States provided a large amount of research funds to Fort Detrick. But the experiments they conducted were all carried out on some animals, and for Shiro Ishii, who had human experiment data in his hands, and for the United States, more important thing than executing him was to obtain the experimental data in his hands.
Therefore, after the United States received the news of Ishii Shiro's death, it immediately sent someone to Japan to investigate the truth of the matter. After Ishii Shiro was discovered, the United States interrogated him, and the cunning Ishii Shiro found that the United States was very interested in the experimental data in his hands. He used this to make a deal with the Americans. When MacArthur came to Japan, he met with Shiro Ishii. He immediately put forward two conditions to MacArthur, one was to exempt all members of the Seventy-Thirty-One Unit from prosecution, and twenty to hire the Seventy-Thirty-One Unit as an adviser to Fort Detrick in the United States, not only to continue the research on biological and chemical weapons with them, but also to pay them a certain amount of consultancy fees. MacArthur, who was then commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, did not immediately accede to his request. Because the rights in his hands at that time did not dare to guarantee that these conditions would be realized.
But it was a move by the Soviet Union that changed the course of events. At that time, the Soviet Union proposed to the United States to extradite Ishii Shiro to the Soviet Union for trial, how did the Soviet Union know about Ishii Shiro? It turned out that when the Soviet Union attacked the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast, it captured several members of the former 731 Unit, and they revealed to the Soviet Union the fact that Japan was conducting human experiments in northeast China. That's why the Soviet Union made a request for the extradition of Ishii Shiro to the Soviet Trial, and the United States at that time did not agree to the Soviet Union's request, but promised that the Soviet Union must come to Japan to interrogate Ishii Shiro, and there must be Americans present throughout the process. After the Soviet interrogation of Shiro Ishii, no useful information was obtained. At that time, the United States was afraid that the information in Ishii Shiro's hands would fall into the hands of the Soviets, and then agreed to Ishii Shiro's request. And Shiro Ishii appraisal agreement, this is the famous Kamakura agreement! Afterwards, Ishii Shiro, along with more than twenty members of the 731 Unit, was hired as an adviser to Fort De Crick and built a special building at the base for Ishii Shiro to experiment with, and named it 731. This is also the reason why the special number of 731 appears on US military bases. So where did the other members of the 731 Unit go? Years later, after investigation, most of the other members of the 731 Unit taught at Japanese pharmaceutical companies or at universities. The reason why the 731 units can escape the trial of justice has a lot to do with the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, and also has a lot to do with their respective desires and interests. Although they escaped trial, the history of the heinous crimes they committed will not be forgotten!
