Review
On September 1, 1939, a global battle broke out in the world, in which a total of 61 countries participated, and the casualties and destruction they caused were unimaginable.
After the victory, the victorious side will deal with and try the prisoners of war of the defeated side, and Hideki Tojo, one of the important war criminals who launched the Pacific Theater and invaded China, is even more heinous and heinous.
Although he tried to deny his cruel deeds, glorify his deeds, and even practiced Buddhism during his arrest, these facts could not be distorted under the gaze of thousands of victims, and the process of his dharma was simply gratifying.
Become a soldier
Tojo Hideki was born in late 1884 with an overbearing father who was very strict with his discipline and once left him breathless.
It is precisely because of his father's tough education method that Hideki Tojo's psychological journey has developed very bumpily, step by step towards a distorted and pathological psychology. This greatly affected Hideki Tojo's life, influenced his future style of conduct, and laid the foundation for this dark and evil life.
Under the rendering of the people around him, the seed of being a soldier was planted in his heart very early, so as soon as he got the opportunity, Hideki Tojo immediately seized it and became a soldier loyal to the emperor as he wished.
In 1937, the beginning of China's nightmare, the Japanese army launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, opening the road to aggression. At that time, the Japanese army also formed two different sects because of the different styles of the commanders, one belonged to the cautious faction and the other was the hardliners.
Hideki Tojo inherited his father's violent personality, and coupled with the impact of those childhood experiences on him, it is clear that he belongs to the camp of the grumpy faction.
Defiant
In the process of invading China, The tactic that Hideki Tojo was best at was lightning tactics. Every time they took a city, they would "celebrate" by burning and looting, and many innocent people died at his hands.
Victory after victory made Hideki Tojo very arrogant, often blind, and randomly fabricated incidents to cause war. Not only that, but he often ignored the orders of his superiors, and he did his own thing, and would report to his superiors after he was done, so the Kanto people gave him a nickname, called "Razor General".
He once proposed to his superiors that he should use China's entry into Chahar as a fuse to launch an attack on China's northern China on the grounds that it would threaten "Manchukuo."
Before his superiors could give him any instructions, he took it upon himself to directly lead his troops to Chahar, fabricated interfaces out of thin air, and provoked the "Battle of Zhangjiakou."
Faced with his "achievements", Hideki Tojo was proud of himself, and yaxing Dafa wrote a poem for himself.
In 1941, Pearl Harbor in the United States was attacked by the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses, which began the Pacific War.
After that, he also extended his minions to the small countries around the Pacific, so that many of them had to participate in the battlefield. This continuous expansion of the battlefield was to satisfy Hideki Tojo's enthusiasm for war and his pathological psychology.
Suicide attempt
In 1945, the Japanese army surrendered, and the infamous Hideki Tojo, as one of the important representatives of Japanese militarism, naturally became the "key object of attention" of everyone and was listed as a Class A war criminal during World War II. He will remain under house arrest until he is tried.
As a Japanese soldier, he could not be captured, but could only commit suicide.
When he was the prime minister of Japan, under the influence of the Japanese samurai spirit, he made such a request to all Japanese troops in the "Battle Front News". So he chose to end his life before he was tried and captured.
Obviously deeply influenced by Japanese culture, Hideki Tojo did not choose to leave by "cutting his abdomen and committing suicide".
He asked the doctor to draw the position of his heart, and at first he did not make any unusual moves, or lived as usual, but whenever he took a shower and the mark disappeared, he always went out of his way to let the doctor re-draw it.
This behavior lasted for more than a month.
It was not until one day in September 1945, when Hideki Tojo's execution was officially ordered, that american gendarmes had arrived at Hideki Tojo's residence to arrest him.
Hideki Tojo, seemingly unhurried, asked if he had obtained the warrant, and after personally confirming, he disappeared into the window, saying that he had gone to open the door for them.
But the soldier who was waiting outside waited for a long time without seeing any movement, and when he began to wonder if he had escaped, a loud noise came from inside the house.
The American soldiers no longer hesitated, and directly broke through the door, and they were really surprised by the sight in front of them.
Hideki Tojo sat paralyzed on the couch, a hole in his open chest, bleeding continuously, and he still had a smoking gun in his hand, looking like he was committing suicide.
Unfortunately, even though he made a mark on his chest, he still missed it in the end. The sharp pain left him speechless, and he let out two moans from time to time.
Tilting his head a little to the left, I wanted to take a picture of Hideki Tojo holding a pistol.
Would it be nice to help hold his pistol in his hand? I must take a picture of a fly left on Tojo's forehead.
The reporters who flocked to him were very indifferent, and they only cared about whether they could take good pictures, until the gendarmes found that Hideki Tojo was really not in good condition, so they sent him to the hospital for robbery.
Because of the excessive blood loss, an emergency blood transfusion was needed, and even two American soldiers enthusiastically signed up. They hoped that Hideki Tojo would be judged and punished, rather than dying like this.
brief summary
In October 1945, a three-year trial of Hideki Tojo was launched internationally.
The court-martial listed 54 incriminating evidence of his crimes, and Hideki Tojo, who was on the verge of great trouble, did not admit a single one. He even struggled to the death, writing a 220-page defense that he read for two and a half days.
During his imprisonment, Hideki Tojo seemed to have changed into a human being, reciting Buddhist scriptures every day, as if he were "temporarily holding the feet of the Buddha" to alleviate his sins, but everything he did did did not work at all.
Finally in 1948, the trial of Hideki Tojo was announced that he would be hanged. Before dying, Hideki Tojo made a request to meet with the instructor, and taking advantage of the soldier's slackness, he took out a rope and prepared to commit suicide again, but was found in time and stopped.
Who would have thought that the well-known "Razor General" would be so afraid of death that he would commit suicide three times and four times to escape punishment.
On the day of the execution, when Hideki Tojo walked up to the gallows, his body trembled with fear, but he still stubbornly shouted: "Long live the Emperor of Japan!" In the end, his ashes were thrown into the sea by the American army.
