Review
When it comes to spies, what we can think of is the cool and heroic posture of handsome and beautiful actors such as Brother Tang and Scarlett on the screen. The image of the spy in film and television works is usually very dashing, coming and going without a trace, playing the enemy around. But in fact, real-life spies are very hidden, and many people may spend half their lives with spies and cannot find their identities.
The protagonist of our story today is Japan's "spy king" Hirosumasa Ao, who has been lurking in China for 37 years and stealing a considerable amount of military facilities and technical information related to military technology.
Who is Hirosumasa Ao, why did he succeed, and what was his final fate? Today we will take you to understand his story together.
The first half of the life of the "King of Spies"
Born in the special era of 1930, Ao Hiroshimasa can be said to have been influenced by Japanese militarist thought since he can remember, as the saying goes: "Three years old looks big, seven years old looks old." "Childhood was the time when a person's three views were formed, and in the early years of Ao Hiromasa, it was the most intense period of Japan's war of aggression against China.
Although Japan was defeated by the time he was fourteen or fifteen years old, Hiromasa Ao was already a loyal supporter of Japanese militarist ideology and a person who had been "brainwashed".
Under the influence of such a childhood, Ao Hirosumasa joined the Japanese Self-Defense Forces at that time as an adult, hoping to one day serve the motherland. Hiromasa Ao was a prominent member of the Self-Defense Forces, hard-working, and hard-working, and was selected by a spy organization called the Musashi Agency, which was jointly led by the United States and Japan at the time.
This organization specializes in training foreign spies and obtaining some political and military intelligence, because the world at that time was openly in contention and the situation was confusing, so the job of spy was very important. Naturally, Ao Hirosumasa was very proud to be selected, so he trained harder within the organization, looking forward to one day really going deep into other countries and stealing intelligence for Japan.
The beginning of a spy career
One day in 1972, Because of his unusually good performance, Ao Hirosumasa was informed that he was going to Taiwan to do espionage work, and the organization gave him the identity of a Japanese economist. Naturally, Hiromasa Ao accepted the job ecstatically and began his spy career in China.
Hirosumasa Ao was a Japanese economic and technical scientist who was in urgent need on both sides of the mainland at that time, so he quickly mixed up on both sides of the strait, using his forged identity to mix in various places and steal first-hand information.
As he became more and more famous on the mainland, and even many factories took the initiative to visit him, it was easier for Hiroshimasa Ao to do spy work.
The most terrifying thing was that Hirosumasa Ao successfully blended into some factories in the southwest of the mainland. We all know that the southwest inland is the key place of military research and development of the mainland, there are many military vehicles, military guns are born in this area, let a spy work in such an important place, it is undoubtedly very dangerous.
And the result is indeed the case, Ao Hirosaki has been spying on the mainland for 37 years, providing Japan with more than one hundred and fifty times of mainland intelligence, including military, people's livelihood, and politics, it can be said that it is all-pervasive, using his special identity to steal countless intelligence, bringing heavy losses to the mainland!
The arrest of the "King of Spies"
Hiroshimasa Ao's thirty-seven years as a spy were silent, but he unknowingly wrote about his spy life in the form of a novel in 2009 and published it in Japan. In the book, he described his experience vividly and vividly, which received a lot of praise, but people did not know that the story in this novel actually happened, and Ao Hiromasa really worked as a spy in China for nearly forty years!
Maybe Hirosumasa Ao was too conceited to even look at the heavens, and in 2016, he finally fell into the net.
In 2016, Japan needed Hirosumasa Ao to steal some information from mainland airports, and this kind of work Ao has done countless times, and naturally he is at his fingertips.
He used his previous experience to quickly find four good internal operators, all of whom were airport workers, but they could not withstand the temptation of money and did not know the seriousness of the matter, so the four of them handed over some documents to the Japanese "economist" in exchange for a very good extra income.
Fortunately, the abnormal behavior of the four people quickly attracted the attention of the relevant units.
Today, unlike in the past, the mainland's anti-espionage awareness has increased from top to bottom, and soon people found that the four people's additional sources of income were not correct; after realizing the seriousness of the problem, they quickly found out Ao Hirosei, and after investigation, people were surprised to find that Ao Hirosei, an economist who has been active in China for thirty or forty years, was actually a spy!
What shocked him was not only Chinese, but even the relatives and friends of Ao Hiromasa could hardly believe that this ordinary and elegant and easy-going Ao Hiromasa was actually a spy who stole secrets from other countries. Eventually, he was indicted for espionage, with the highest death sentence.
epilogue
Hirosumasa Ao's life is not a tragedy, and the militaristic ideas he received from childhood can be said to have ruined his life, which shows how important values are to people.
If Ao could use his psychological qualities and talents on other righteous paths, instead of shamelessly being a thief, would his fate be any different?
We must not only see the death penalty that Ah Wei is facing, but also need to see the harm of espionage work to the country, so we must strengthen our knowledge, understand spies, be vigilant against spies, do not inadvertently give spies an opportunity, and beware of spies, which is a major responsibility that we as Chinese citizens cannot shirk.
The country has always protected us very well, and when we can, we must naturally protect our country well!
