Hideki Tojo was the culprit, or ostensible culprit, of Japan during World War II, who was not only ambitious, but also extremely cruel and arrogant, supporting and planning a series of plans for foreign expansion; but Japan was a small country after all, and technology and industry did not have absolute superiority, and because of the stubborn resistance of various countries and the participation of the United States, whose industrial strength far exceeded Japan's, the situation of Japan deteriorated day by day.
In the end, under pressure and the actual situation, Hideki Tojo resigned from the posts of Prime Minister, Chief of Staff, Minister of War, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Quartermaster, etc. Not long after his resignation, Emperor Showa sent someone to have an in-depth discussion with the U.S. military, and after reaching certain agreements, recorded a surrender announcement of up to thirty minutes; later, at the court trial, Hideki Tojo accused as many as 54 crimes, you know, all the crimes were only 55...
He was eventually sentenced to hanging, and later, according to the regulations, his ashes should be sprinkled on the sea, but the Japanese secretly kept some of his ashes out of selfishness, and hid his ashes and the ashes of several other war criminals in the Konon-ji Temple in Hingya. Many years later, a "Monument to the Seven Soldiers" was erected in this place where the ashes were hidden, and this inscription was proposed by Shigeru Yoshida, the prime minister at the time; and Hideki Tojo, a criminal war criminal, even had a spiritual seat, which was enshrined by the Japanese at the Yasukuni Shrine and worshipped every year.
The most diligent worshipper was his second son, Tojo Huixiong, who was not a simple person, although under the persuasion of Hideki Tojo, he failed to join the army, but was admitted to Tokyo Imperial University and studied aviation. After graduating from university, he joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a "Big Mac" company at the time, and became an engineer at an aircraft factory in Nagoya, a mitsubishi group.
The status of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan at that time was no less than that of BMW, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz in Germany at that time, and it was one of the largest military enterprises in Japan at that time, during World War II, the company produced 51,000 aircraft with 18,000 engines, and also developed the famous "Zero" fighter. Although mitsubishi was divided into three companies by the United States after the war, including West Japan Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., China-Japan Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., and East Japan Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., these three companies were later merged after continuous development.
Until today, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has become Japan's largest and most technologically advanced military industrial group, just in the past two years, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has also received the task of developing Japan's latest generation of fighter jet projects, it is said that the total contract amount is as high as 40 billion US dollars, and the Japanese military is still raising more money for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which shows the status of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan. Tojo became famous quickly after entering Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and also participated in the development of the Zero fighter and served as the intensity calculation.
In the early days of Japan's surrender, the United States took very severe sanctions against Japan, including the aviation industry, but Tojo Keio was not idle, and successively participated in the design and development of the YS-11 medium-sized propeller civil aviation aircraft and the C-1 large military transport aircraft; after the United States gradually relaxed its control over Japan, Tojo quickly took office, successively serving as vice president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, president of Mitsubishi Motors, president of the Mitsubishi Group, senior adviser of the Mitsubishi Group, etc. The problem of personal ability may be only one of many factors.
Some people may ask, what about Hideki Tojo's eldest son? Hideki Tojo's eldest son, named Hidetaka Tojo, is not to be said because his life experience is too ordinary and ordinary; he has been at odds with his strong father since childhood, and he does not approve of his father's external expansion, so he left home as an adult and chose to be an ordinary clerk in an ordinary company; although he was later forced to join the army, he never fired a shot until the disbandment of the army.
It is said that Hideki Tojo wanted to meet with Hidetaka Tojo before his death, but Hidetaka Tojo did not agree, but very coldly replied that "there is nothing worth nostalgia"; after the war, Tojo Hidetaka joined a very ordinary shipping company and lived an ordinary life, until his death, perhaps his relatives and friends around him did not know that he was the eldest son of Hideki Tojo. As for Toshio Tojo, the third son of Hideki Tojo, he never appeared in any social and media interviews, so there are no clues or records.
In fact, Tojo Hideki is very lucky, after all, now the law does not pursue the family, if it is in ancient times, to Tojo Hideki's crimes, it must be full of doors; his eldest son Tojo Hidetaka and youngest son Tojo Toshio have nothing to say, but his second son Tojo Huixiong, when he was in charge of the Mitsubishi Group, did a lot of hateful things; and his daughter Tojo Yubuko was a perfect inheritance of Tojo Hideki's genes, and repeatedly made remarks contrary to the facts, which was really shameful and reprehensible.
