During World War II, the Japanese and Kosovars not only carried out large-scale armed aggression against our country, but also carried out "unconventional warfare," the so-called "war on drugs." The Japanese Kou organized a large number of opium cultivation in the occupied areas, and specially set up a "Hongji Shantang" special goods company to deal in opium, forming an opium production, supply, and marketing system. Rikou also tried to lure Chinese to smoke opium. Under the vigorous promotion of the Japanese Kou, the area of opium cultivation in the occupied areas reached more than 15 million mu, and the number of people in the occupied areas was as high as 32 million, accounting for 8.8% of the population in the occupied areas.
As the capital of the Japanese puppet regime, Nanjing is the most poisoned area, and the city of Nanjing, with a population of only 400,000, has set up thousands of tobacco houses, and more than 100,000 people have become addicted to smoking.

In order to implement its drug war plan, the Japanese Kou planted poppies everywhere in the occupied areas. Puppet Manchukuo was the first region it occupied, and it was also the area where the Japanese first cultivated opium. Moreover, the Japanese also established their monopoly of opium in the form of laws in the puppet state of Manchukuo.
The Japanese also cultivated opium in the Mongolian territory and sold it in the same way. After the Japanese invaded northern China, they also expanded the cultivation of opium to northern China.
In addition, the Japanese also imported opium from Iran, which amounted to as much as 40 to 50 tons per year.

The success or failure of the drug program depended on the sale of opium, so the Japanese spent a lot of effort on the sale of opium. In order to induce Chinese to smoke opium, the Japanese are really well-intentioned. They first advertised opium and even boasted of it as a health product that promoted health and vitality.
The Japanese puppet regime even published an opium advertisement in the Nanjing Xinbao, which they controlled, and one advertisement said: "Zhaoji Tu Anoxing (No. 115 Mochou Road), the goods are real, the weight is quite large, and the merchants on the outside are given special preferential treatment. ”
The Japanese puppet government also made a big publicity and advertisement, and even put up the slogan of free food, and many people flocked to it. Many people began to become addicted after taking a bite, and the harm of opium was huge, which almost everyone knew at the time, but the Japanese used some special means to lure the Chinese people, so that people from all walks of life at that time smoked opium. The people who worked as coolies at the Japanese docks became a hundred times more energetic after smoking the cigarettes distributed by the Japanese army, but after they were too strong, they were uncomfortable, because thousands of ants drilled and bit in the bones.
The Wang puppet government was also deeply affected, and the salaries of these people were opium, and these people knew the harm of these things, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves. They also had to accept it, and after receiving it, they were indeed ready to sell, but some people were also addicted to drugs, so some happy families also began to be disillusioned, and it was difficult to reunite. Under the vigorous promotion of the Japanese, in later times, the city of Nanjing was full of addicts, a quarter of the people were smoking opium, and those who did not smoke opium were also poisoned by opium. It is opium that makes these people inhuman and ghostly, and it is opium that makes the otherwise happy family become separated.
The Japanese army's use of this poisonous plan also enabled them to obtain a large amount of funds in the war of aggression against China, and they used this money to build guns and cannons, which is why the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army are often so advanced, which also belongs to a kind of Opium War, which is a hidden war under the war of aggression against China. This kind of behavior of the Japanese army is hateful, and we must not forget the history of the invasion of China, and we hope that everyone can remember this matter for a lifetime, and we contemporary young people must not forget the national shame and keep the mission in mind.
