On December 23, 1948, Hideki Tojo, who had committed many evil deeds, was hanged. Although Hideki Tojo did not admit guilt before the execution, Hideki Tojo was still in tears in the face of the impending death. After more than seventy years, looking back at this final performance of Hideki Tojo, under the bloody storm, Hideki Tojo is really more like a beam-jumping clown.
Obviously, Hideki Tojo, who denied his crimes, wept bitterly at the last moment of his life, and must not be repenting of his own accumulated crimes, perhaps he was still unwilling, cruel and ruthless like Hideki Tojo, who was originally a soldier who "galloped" on the battlefield, but now he ended up with a hanging end, presumably Tojo Hideki was not convinced.
Regarding the deeds of Hideki Tojo in those years, looking through history today, posterity still mourns that past. How many benevolent righteous men died at the hands of Hideki Tojo, those lives cannot be restored, and that history will be remembered forever.
Hideki Tojo
Hideki Tojo was born in Japan on December 30, 1884. Influenced by his family from an early age, Hideki Tojo aspired to become a soldier and serve the emperor when he was young. In order to train his son to become a qualified Japanese soldier, Hideki Tojo's father personally asked someone to teach him martial arts.
In September 1902, Hideki Tojo entered the Japanese Army Central Kindergarten School. During his time at school, Hideki Tojo personally felt the enthusiasm and ecstasy of the Japanese people for invading China. In addition, in order to train more military figures for Japan, the Army Central Kindergarten Shortened the School System and vigorously promoted the pleasure of invading China to students.
A series of measures strengthened Hideki Tojo's conviction to become a Japanese officer to invade China.
The living environment turned Hideki Tojo into an ambitious killer. In the ensuing war of aggression against China, Hideki Tojo's tyranny was unmistakable.
On August 19, 1937, Hideki Tojo set up a headquarters in Zhangbei, although the Nationalist army at that time had more than 30,000 people, while Hideki Tojo had only a few thousand. However, due to differences in psychological quality, coupled with the fact that the Japanese military had a large number of advanced ordnance and lethal weapons, the Tojo Corps led by Hideki Tojo won the war.
Zhangjiakou, Nankou and other military strongholds were lost one after another. The whole province of Chahar fell. Hideki Tojo, who had tasted the victory of the war, became more and more arrogant, and even killed the red eye.
On November 28, 1938, Hideki Tojo made a big speech at the "Army Management Business Leaders' Earnest Talk", saying that Japan would go to war against the Soviet Union and China at the same time, and would also take Britain, the United States and France in one fell swoop. As soon as these words came out, not only the above-mentioned countries, but even the Japanese people were shocked.
Even though japanese war maniacs were gathered, they still could not face it calmly in the face of such arrogant words from Hideki Tojo. In desperation, Rikusho Itagaki Seishiro had no choice but to stand up for Hideki Tojo, saying that his remarks were only to promote Japan's military productivity.
Seishiro Itagaki
In order to quell the public's grievances, the Japanese military had to demote Hideki Tojo, who had just been in office for half a year, from army sub-officer to aviation director. Even so, Hideki Tojo did not restrain his ambitions.
After the Battle of Chahar, Hideki Tojo was recognized by the Japanese military, which awarded Hideki Tojo a second-class "Golden Eagle Medal". This greatly encouraged Hideki Tojo, and it was from this medal that Hideki Tojo "broke through the bamboo" all the way, going farther and farther down the road of killing and plundering.
Because of Hideki Tojo's notorious brutality and warlikeness, there is no pure land left wherever he passes. The Japanese military called him "Shaved Head General", and this "Shaved Head General" really deserved this title.
The Nanjing Massacre, which made the Chinese people sad, killed 300,000 compatriots at the hands of the Japanese. Burning, killing, plundering, and killing people. To this day, the pain caused by the Nanjing Massacre to the Chinese people has not been erased, and it will never be erased.
The Japanese aggressors, represented by Hideki Tojo, in order to realize their ambitions for expansion, spared no expense for their lives and mutilated innocents, which was unforgivable! Most egregiously, Hideki Tojo's granddaughter denied her grandfather's crime. When referring to the Nanjing Massacre, she was able to say that "this is Chinese falsifying history", which is really shameless!
To this day, Japan has not acknowledged the heinous crimes committed in the Nanjing Massacre. My generation has no right to forgive history for our ancestors, and that bloody past also shows the atrocities of the Japanese army in the war of aggression against China.
Although Hideki Tojo did not admit his guilt at the last moment of his life, it was useless not to admit it anymore, and the Chinese compatriots who died in the war were the ironclad evidence of his crimes.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. In December of the same year, the International Military Tribunal was established. Japanese war criminals are indicted, among which, as a Class A war criminal who seriously threatens world peace, Hideki Tojo's crimes will be tried directly by the International Tribunal.
In fact, after the surrender of the Japanese army, Hideki Tojo may have sensed that his fate would not be too good, so he led his wife and children back to the country house and lived a secluded life.
On September 11, 1945, the Allied gendarmerie armed with an arrest warrant arrived outside Hideki Tojo's villa. He was accompanied by reporters from major newspapers. However, at this time, Hideki Tojo was still very stubborn. Despite knowing that he had no way to retreat, Hideki Tojo resisted.
In the face of the black and white arrest order, Hideki Tojo still said that he himself refused to accept the arrest without the order of the Japanese government.
Just as the gendarmerie was about to break through the door, a gunshot rang out from inside the villa. Colonel Klaus, the leader of the Allied gendarmerie, panicked, and after an urgent search, the gendarmerie found Hideki Tojo on the second floor of the villa. It turned out that the gunshot had just sounded, and Hideki Tojo aimed the muzzle of the gun at his heart.
Because of the timely discovery, Hideki Tojo is still conscious at this moment. Facing reporters, Hideki Tojo said he was sorry for the people of the Empire, but he was also unwilling to be tried as a defeated man, preferring to commit suicide rather than be arrested. Shortly after speaking, Hideki Tojo passed out.
But justice is late. After timely treatment, Hideki Tojo was completely restored to health soon after. Hideki Tojo, who had regained his health, did not flee the law.
On May 3, 1946, the trial of Hideki Tojo officially began. The trial lasted two years because of the case's involvement. It was not until November 12, 1948, that the supreme court rendered its supreme trial. Hideki Tojo, who had committed a lot of crimes, was hanged! It will be implemented on December 23.
During the period of waiting for the execution, Hideki Tojo was physically and mentally frustrated, and his weight dropped sharply in just a few days. But these tribulations were a fraction of a bucket compared to the sins he had committed. From the first moment Hideki Tojo killed his Chinese compatriots, he should have anticipated his current fate.
It's just that time can never be turned back, and Hideki Tojo will never have a chance to start over.
On December 23, 1948, Hideki Tojo was hanged, and in the final performance of his life, he went to the gallows in tears. Does this mean that Hideki Tojo bowed his head? No, there may be regret in his tears, but it is definitely not regret for the crime he has committed.
Until the last moment of his life, Hideki Tojo firmly believed that he was not sorry for those who had been hurt by himself, and he firmly denied that he had provoked the war of aggression against China, he just felt ashamed of the Japanese Empire. However, this is contrary to Hideki Tojo's suicide.
After the defeat of Japan, it is said that Hideki Tojo did not leave his body, and even specially asked the doctor to mark his heart. Because Hideki Tojo knows that his sins are so deep that he will one day be judged by the people. He did not want to be sentenced in public, and he was forced to commit suicide.
Faced with the arrest of the gendarmerie, Hideki Tojo shot himself in the heart. He knew that he had committed a heinous crime, but he refused to admit it, probably just to save his face.
It is doubtful that Japanese officers usually choose to commit suicide by cutting their stomachs when they commit suicide, but Hideki Tojo chooses to end his life with a gun, and whether he really wants to commit suicide is also worth investigating. Perhaps he was still lucky, hoping that the Japanese government would save him. But the evidence is overwhelming, and no amount of struggle can change the facts.
Hideki Tojo, who committed suicide and was "forced" to push himself to the gallows, as a face-saving ambitionist, wept bitterly when death came, and I am afraid that he has begun to regret that the shot did not shoot himself in the head. After all, compared with being hanged in public today, I am afraid that suicide will be more decent.
In the end, Hideki Tojo was hanged, and his ashes were not returned to his hometown, but were scattered in the Pacific Ocean to comfort the undead who died at his hands.
Although he did not admit his crime, he also knew that after he was hanged, a just trial would certainly not spare his family. So he left these four words. His family, mindful of his last words, did not respond to what Hideki Tojo had done.
But in his hands, how many innocent families and wives were separated and their families were destroyed. He may have been a good husband and father, but at the same time he subjected his descendants to moral condemnation. In this way, Hideki Tojo cannot be a qualified parent.
Hideki Tojo wantonly launched a war of aggression and maimed innocents, and those souls who died tragically would never forgive him. A just trial will spare no one, and the Japanese invaders, represented by Hideki Tojo, will not go unpunished!
Perhaps to protect his family, Hideki Tojo left behind a testament: Don't say anything.
After Hideki Tojo's death, his rank was moved to the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan to be worshipped by the Japanese. Originally, the Japanese had plans to withdraw Hideki Tojo from the Yasukuni Shrine, but they were strongly opposed by Hideki Tojo's descendants. It can be seen that in the hearts of future generations, Hideki Tojo is still very "authoritative".
Of course, not every descendant of Hideki Tojo remembered his legacy. Hideki Tojo's granddaughter, Yufuko Tojo, violated this precept in an attempt to glorify Hideki Tojo's crimes.
In order to "rehabilitate" her grandfather, she even wrote a book specifically. In the book, Yufuko Tojo denies her grandfather's crimes, and she also declares that the Great East Asian War was a correct war, and the fault was not in the war, but in the defeat. In other words, if my grandfather had won the battle at that time, he would have been a great hero.
shameless! amusing! Tojo Yubuko's arrogant rhetoric is stupid! It's untenable!
To this day, Japanese left-wing forces still often try to distort history. Hideki Tojo's descendants, when talking about his crimes, also refused to admit that these were Tojo Hideki's mistakes. They repeatedly denied hide to tomaru's identity as a mech-class war criminal in an attempt to whitewash Hideki Tojo.
Yet the eyes of the masses are shining, the bloody evidence is there, and the balance of justice will never collapse. Those who distort history will also be condemned by history.
Hideki Tojo was only a representative of the Japanese army that launched the war of aggression, and the pain caused to Chinese by his brutality and the brutality of the Japanese invasion of China was enormous. Hundreds of people lost their lives in that war, and how many families were brutalized for a lifetime. The source of all this is that Japan's aggressive ambitions are at work.
In order to satisfy their own ambitions, the Japanese invaders tortured and killed innocents, but they refused to admit it afterwards, which was really shameful! Anyone who provoked a war for no reason should be forgiven, and thugs like Hideki Tojo are even more guilty. No amount of Japanese people who do not admit their crimes can change history.
One day, facts will defeat everything, and the crimes of the Japanese army will be exposed to the world and judged by the people.
In times of peace, war seems to be far away from us, but every Chinese cannot forget those years. Today's peace was bought with the blood of our ancestors, and every Chinese should always remember the atrocities of the invaders and never forget the national shame!
