What happens to 33 men and 1 woman living on a desert island? This is not an ethical novel, but something that really happened at the end of World War II.
There is a small island called Anantahan in the Mariana Islands, which the Japanese quickly occupied after the Pacific War began. As the war progressed, the Japanese army was defeated and could only retreat to the main island.
All the Japanese on the island were evacuated, leaving only a Japanese officer named Nakazato and one of his female subordinates, Kazuko. The two wanted to hide on the island and wait for the Japanese to counterattack the island.
However, the Japanese navy has been completely lost, and it is impossible to compete with the United States for sea supremacy. Several fishing boats were hit by the U.S. Navy and had to run aground near Anantahan Island. All 31 crew members landed on the island to avoid the American attack.
At first, the 33 Japanese got along well, relying on bananas and coconuts on the island to get by, and later began to go to the shore to pick up fish that had washed up by the waves.
Since there was only one woman on the island, individual men began to think differently about her. In order to ensure the unity of this small group, a crew member offered to marry Nakazato and Wako to dispel the desire of others to possess Wakko.
Life on the island thus remained stable for some time. Later an American plane crashed on the island, and they took out 4 pistols from the wreckage, two of which were repaired.
These two pistols completely broke the stability of the island, and the man with the gun became the ruler of the island and rightfully owned the possession of Wakko.
In the days that followed, those who opposed the two of them died. One mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and two people with guns also had conflicts, and one of them lost his life, so the survivors monopolized Kazuko.
But the rest of the island is by no means vegetarian, and they often fight to possess Wakko, and Wakko's husband is constantly changing.
To stop the fight, it was offered to throw the gun away and let Wako choose a favorite person. But this still does not solve the problem, without guns, just use stones. If people have a killing heart, tofu can kill people.
Later, it was suggested that simply solving the root cause of the struggle would be done once and for all. But a crew member told the news to Wakko, who took advantage of the darkness to escape deep into the jungle.
The American troops patrolling the neighborhood eventually discovered what had happened on the island, and Wako was rescued by the American troops, but the surviving men refused to believe the defeat of Japan and refused to surrender.
The Americans showed the newspapers of the time to the people on the island, but they believed that it was a decoy scheme by the US military, and they still believed that Japan would eventually make a comeback.
Later, the Americans brought these people's family letters to the island, and when they saw their wives' handwriting, they had to admit the reality of Japan's defeat. Having lived on the island for two years, they have long been out of touch with civilized society.
Later, the story was brought to the screen, and the movie was called "This is the Truth About Anantahan Island", and what is even more interesting is that Wako actually became the star of this film, and she has since become a Japanese celebrity.
Through this incident, we can see how ugly human nature can be if there is no legal constraint. Therefore, persisting in the building of the legal system is the basis for the further development of civilization.
