Hideki Tojo was a representative of Japanese militarism, one of the three fascist leaders in World War II with Hitler Mussolini, born in December 1884, his father Tojo Ingeni was the first chief graduate of the Japanese Army University, Tojo Ingeni participated in the Sino-Japanese War.
Influenced by his father, Hideki Tojo aspired to become a soldier and serve the emperor, and Tojo Hideki, in order to cultivate his son's spirit of Bushido, also specially asked someone to teach his son to learn the "Shinkaku Flow Sword Dance". In 1915, at the age of 31, Hideki Tojo graduated from the Japanese Army University, and after graduation, Hideki Tojo served as a military attaché at the Japanese Embassy in Germany.
After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Hideki Tojo went to northeast China and participated in the war of aggression against China, and after the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Hideki Tojo set up a mixed brigade headquarters in Zhangbei, Henan, China. The following year, Japanese Army General Sugiyama Moto, who advocated ending the China Incident in three months, stepped down.
Then Hideki Tojo made a big fuss, announcing that he would fight against China and the Soviet Union at the same time, and was preparing to go to war with Britain, the United States, and France, and there was a lot of noise in Japan. And because Hideki Tojo was keen on war and had no humanity, he was known as the "Razor General" in the Kwantung Army. Later, Hideki Tojo was defeated at the Battle of Nomonkan and suffered heavy losses, and Hideki Tojo lost face.
In 1940, Japan launched a "southward expansion", harming the interests of Britain, the United States and other countries in Southeast Asia, the United States began to put pressure on Japan, Japan is a country that relies on imports, many advanced weapons are also purchased in the United States, the United States wants to contain Japan is too simple, and Japan's war situation in China is gradually losing, and is not willing to clash with the United States, so Japan and the United States negotiated.
However, Hideki Tojo always advocated war, and at the negotiating table, the Japanese side demanded that the United States recognize "Manchukuo" and asked the United States to agree to Japan's access to resources from Southeast Asia. The following year, Hideki Tojo issued the "Battle Front Training" in his capacity as Minister of Land, inciting the people of Japan.
On November 18 of the same year, after the establishment of the Tojo Cabinet, Hideki Tojo held "several positions", such as Minister of Land, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Culture, Minister of Commerce and Industry, and Minister of Military Supplies, and later became the Prime Minister of Japan, but Japan was gradually defeated in the war, and Hideki Tojo was criticized by many Japanese soldiers and civilians, and also lost the trust of the Emperor.
On July 22, 1944, Hideki Tojo announced his resignation as Prime Minister.
After Japan's unconditional surrender in August 1945, the war maniac Hideki Tojo was listed as Japan's number one war criminal by the United States, Britain and other countries, so Hideki Tojo shot himself, but attempted suicide and was saved. The Christian Science Monitor commented on the matter as "just the last shame of a guy who has lost his credibility and been abandoned."
At the International Military Tribunal for the Far East from 1946 to 1948, Hideki Tojo was sentenced to death for 54 of the total 55 crimes, and on December 23, 1948, Hideki Tojo was hanged.
Although Hideki Tojo has been introduced, his son's products are selling well in China, and we still use them today.
Tojo Hideki's second son was named Tojo Keio, Tojo Keio gave up the army under the persuasion of his father and became an engineer, which was very unexpected, Tojo Hideki had encouraged his countrymen to participate in the invasion war at home, but he did not expect that he did not allow his son to join the army.
After graduating from Tokyo Imperial University, Tojo joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, where he rose through the ranks of vice president of the Mitsubishi Group and general manager of Mitsubishi Motors, and every year on December 23, Tojo visits the Yasukuni Shrine.
