There are 14 questions about the Nanjing massacre.Witnesses and trials that only raise questions.Let's count 100,000 people.
1. The Tokyo Tribunal and the Nanjing Military Tribunal were held at the same time, but 300,000 people were killed in the Nanjing Military Tribunal.In the Tokyo trial, there were more than 100,000 people who did not reach 200,000 people, but I wonder if the evidence was shared.What is the error between 100,000 and 200,000?
2.John Labe, a German who stood on the stand at the Tokyo trial, testified that 50,000 people were slaughtered. Where did this figure come from?How many 50,000 people have fled alone?Even if there are no obstacles at all, it will be hard work.If you have time to answer questions 1 and 2, try searching for and counting images of Michigan Stadium (107,601 seating capacity) .
3. More than 100 air strikes have been carried out against civilians, with 100,000 deaths per air raid.The first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima killed 80,000 people and Nagasaki killed 60,000 people.At that time, there was a Japanese army in Nanjing that had more destructive power than the atom bomb.This is definitely the strongest army in the world.Then why did Japan lose the war?
4.Let's see how we can kill 300,000 people.Direct artillery and grenades such as tanks and cannons will not be effective for people fleeing in all directions.Then why don't you lock civilians in buildings that you can't escape?So I remember Auschwitz, the largest Jewish camp in the Nazis.However, the maximum capacity is only 20,000 people, so would it be possible to make more than 10 in three days?But how should civilians be taken there?
5.Reverend Maggie, an American who stood on the witness stand at the Tokyo trial, complained of slaughter, but when asked how many he actually saw, he found 1 murder, 1 rape and 1 theft.100,000 → 200,000 → 300,000 people were killed, and where was he?
6.When the Japanese army arrived in Nanjing, the Kuomintang commander left the army behind and panicked, dressed in casual clothes and dressed as civilians, fled to their homes to continue fighting.How should soldiers and civilians be distinguished?For good soldiers who continue to fight with civilians as shields.
7.The Nanjing Safety Zone records that most of the Nanjing citizens have evacuated to the Nanjing Safety Zone (non-combat zones under international law).And The Japanese military did not attack the Nanjing Safe Zone.The Nanjing Safe Zone testified, but who did the Japanese army kill?
8. John Rabe wrote in his later Rabe diary that he witnessed the killing of civilians by the Japanese army with Mosel guns.Mr. Rabe, please check one thing.At that time, there was no Moselle gun in Japan.This is a Chinese gun. And the Moselle gun is your motherland.Isn't it manufactured in Germany?
9.Rabe's diary says that the body of a woman with bamboo stuck in her genital organs is scattered everywhere.In Japan, there are cases of rape and murder of women, but there is no custom of stabbing bamboo in the genital organs.What country's custom is this?And whose work is it?
10.Before marching to Nanjing, there was a big battle in Shanghai.Defeated Chinese troops carried out scorched soil operations.It is a withdrawal that sets fire to the streets, robs money and goods, rapes, and leaves nothing to be gained even if enemy soldiers occupy it.At the same time, soldiers can get spoils even though they are defeated.It was an operation carried out by the Qing army, which fought and fled to the Korean Peninsula during the Gapsin Incident.
11. Nanjing Safety Zone was also a place to grasp the population of Nanjing.War refugees and others kept resident records to evacuate to the Nanjing Safe Zone and immigrate.The population recorded just before the Japanese attack on Nanjing was 200,000 .The Japanese military seems to have killed civilians over the population.
12. China's first unified family register management began in 1958 with the Doorway Registration Ordinance.Until then, China's population had accumulated only what it had recorded in its own way in the administrative divisions of the region, but there was no unified management was carried out.What kind of resident records did the Nanjing Military Court adopt?
13. Fifty-nine thousand people died in the Great East Japan Earthquake. How can you figure out the number of deaths?This is common in other large-scale disasters.It's not a foolish way to count dead bodies or adopt rumors.The number of deaths + missing + number of survivors = the current number of residents will be deducted from the increase in the number of new residents due to migration.Then, when the number of missing people is confirmed to be dead, it moves on to the number of deaths.Counting the number of victims of the earthquake with the naked eye?It's impossible.
14. The Nanjing Safe Zone record increased to 250,000 people in January of the following month.The number of civilians over the population has increased by 50,000 in a month.What kind of magic did the Japanese Army use?
There are many contradictions about the Nanjing incident.In the first place, the Far East Military Tribunal held at the same time and the Nanjing Military Tribunal are completely different.
Hong Si - yeon is a former Japanese Army lieutenant general who continued to use his Korean name - forcing him to change his name to Mr. So is a blatant lie.
Japanese soldiers from the Korean Peninsula
Japanese soldier who gave his Korean name
Legal death in the Philippines
``There have been many people who have died falsely since ancient times, and he doesn't want me to join them.''``Even if you try to dwell on it, you'll end up complaining and thinking you're guilty of losing the war.''
This is the death poem composed by Hong Siyung. He is a native of Gyeonggi Province who served in the Japanese army and rose to the rank of lieutenant general, the highest rank for a Korean.
Although he was intelligent and an excellent soldier, he did not declare his name change and took the name of the Korean peninsula (if he did not declare his name change, he would be registered with his original name).
South Korea claims that the Korean name was taken away from Japan by changing the So family name, but this is a complete lie. Changing your name is a self-reporting system and is not mandatory. If it was forced, then how could that person who disobeyed become a lieutenant general in the army with his Korean name?
Hong Si-yeon took a different path from his friends, telling the anti-Japanese forces on the Korean peninsula, ``Raising now will not lead to the restoration of Korea's independence, and that they should spend some time studying and developing their skills before fighting.''
Hong Si-yeon was assigned to the Philippines, where the war ended. After the war ended, he was tried as a war criminal and sentenced to death. There is not the slightest hint of resentment toward Japan or its annexation in his final words as he bids farewell to this world.
Hong Si-hyeong is currently enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine. Even if he returned to South Korea, he would be treated as a criminal for being pro-Japanese and his grave would be dug up many times, so it would be better if he was enshrined in Japan forever.
Japan welcomed at the Bandung Conference - Participant Shunichi Kase is the man who drafted the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration
In 1955, Shunichi Kase, a special adviser to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, attended the first Asian-African Conference, attended by 29 countries, and described the reactions of the countries at the time as follows. The African and Asian countries were warmly welcomed, saying, "Thank you for coming," and "It's all thanks to Japan." They said, "The Greater East Asia Joint Declaration, which outlined Japan's brave struggle for the Asian people and its significance, shines in history."
The head of the Japanese delegation, Tatsunosuke Takasaki, Director-General of the Economic Deliberation Agency, and his party were warmly welcomed by the representatives of newly independent emerging countries in Asia and Africa, and were greeted with warm words one after another. Japan had received an invitation. It was a time when Japan had only just returned to the international community after the end of the occupation, so it was with anxiety that they participated. There were even voices within the government that said they should not participate, but contrary to expectations, they received a warm welcome. Deputy Representative Shunichi Kase accompanied Representative Takasaki at the Asian-African Conference.
The representatives of each country said, "If Japan had not issued the Greater East Asia Declaration, which made the liberation of Asian peoples the purpose of the war, or if Japan had not made sacrifices and fought for Asia, we would still have been a British colony, a Dutch colony, and a French colony. It is because Japan made great sacrifices and fought bravely for the Asian people that Asia exists today."
The following year, Japan joined the United Nations, and Kase became its first UN ambassador. Regarding this, Kase said, "I want to emphasize the fact that the Asian-African Group enthusiastically supported Japan's membership from start to finish. With the great trust and expectations of Asian and African countries, our country has built today's prosperity after the war."
As secretary to Foreign Minister Shigemitsu, Shunichi Kase participated in the Greater East Asia Conference, which was held in 1943 and invited representatives from Asian countries, and was a diplomat who wrote the original draft of the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration, which was the core of the conference. Kase also wrote the following in his book ("The Last Testimony of a 101-Year-Old Who Changed the Showa Era"):
"The war against the United States was a struggle for self-preservation and self-defense, but it liberated Asia, which had been under Western colonial rule for hundreds of years. Foreign Minister Shigemitsu and I painstakingly drafted the original Greater East Asia Declaration three years after the war began.
On the day of the surrender signing ceremony, we did not say such things to each other because we had a sense of pride in the fact that a world-historical battle had ended and Japan had played the role that had been given to it by the history of mankind. Even though it was true that we had lost, we had never lost mentally. That was the determination we had."
"In our country, after the war, the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration was used primarily as a smokescreen by the military to exploit the occupied territories. It is easy to interpret it that way, but the real meaning was to declare Japan's war aims.
In any case, the Asian countries that gained independence because they fought in Japan's previous war still deeply value the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration today. I personally felt that not only Asians, but also African peoples were truly grateful for the colonial liberation movement advocated by Japan when I attended the Asian-African Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955 (Showa 30) as a representative of the Japanese government, and when I visited the United Nations as the first UN ambassador.
It is ironic that the Greater East Asia Joint Declaration is disregarded in Japan, but highly regarded in Asia and Africa. "
So, what do you think? There were people who said that they felt sick just looking at a photo of the Greater East Asia Conference, but you can see how little they studied history. These people only studied history from the perspective of Europe and America, China, and the Korean peninsula, and completely missed the perspective of the war for Japan and the war for Asia. Now, next, I would like to introduce the declaration adopted at the Asian-African Conference.
Respect basic human rights and the principles and aims of the UN CharterRespect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nationsRecognize the equality of all humankind and the equality of all nations, large and smallDo not interfere in the internal affairs of other nationsRespect the right of independent or collective self-defense under the UN CharterDo not use collective defense for the specific interests of large nations. Also, do not pressure other nations. Do not invade or threaten to invade or use force to undermine the territorial integrity or political independence of other nations. Resolve international disputes by peaceful meansPromote mutual interests and cooperationRespect justice and international obligations
African countries have been trading slaves with the Americas since the mid-1400s. From the early 1800s, they were colonized by partition from the West.
Colonization of Asian countries began earlier, in the early 1500s, and countries such as Malaysia and Singapore were under colonial rule for over 400 years.
As Asian countries were being colonized one after another, and the Western hand was finally reaching out to the Korean Peninsula and China, which are just a stone's throw away from Japan, the Greater East Asia War was fought with the aim of expelling the Western powers that had colonized Asia. In Southeast Asia, which had been under Western rule for hundreds of years, the Japanese rule period lasted only two to five years, but during this period each region of Southeast Asia gained national power, learned how to use weapons, how to fight, how to run a country, etc. from Japan, and after Japan was defeated, fought one war after another for independence.
After Japan withdrew, Asian countries achieved independence,
17 African countries achieved independence all at once in 1960, and 1960 is said to be the year of Africa. And on December 14 of that year, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the "Declaration Granting Independence to Colonies and Peoples." Then, in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was enacted in the United States, and state laws that affirmed racial discrimination were abolished. Then, in 1969, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination came into force at the United Nations.
Do you realize how biased Japan's postwar education was in this way? The long history of oppression and domination of these colored people, and Japan's war aims, were never spoken of in Japan after the war, and in the international community, they are so-called minority reports. And they have not been generalized in the international community. However, these are clear historical facts that have been witnessed by many colored countries. Even though it is called a minority report, the population of the Asian and African countries that participated in the Bandung Conference was said to be about 1.3 billion at the time, and considering that the world population in 1955 was 2.7 billion, it is a fact that was witnessed by about half of the world's population. The reason why this is not generalized is that it is a developing country, insignificant, and there is no need to hear about it.
With this premise, Japan was warmly welcomed when it participated in the Asian-African Conference. These countries say that thanks to Japan they have decided to take back their own countries. Is this also a wrong version of history?
Is Korea a spokesperson for Asia?impossible! The Grand East Asian Conference on Independence and Co - prosperity in Asia.
The Great East Asian Conference was held on November 5, 1943.It was the first international conference in which Japan was the leader of a country that expelled white forces and leaders of color gathered.In other words, countries of color had no concept of alliance and fighting together.The Great East Asian Conference discussed policies for post-war independence.China, South Korea, and North Korea are the only countries that Japan claims to have invaded Asian countries.Since China actually fought the Sino-Japanese War, what is South Korea and North Korea?Other Asian countries say they were able to become independent thanks to Japan.
The purpose of the Great East Asian War is to exclude white colonial policies from Asia and maintain independence and co-prosperity among Asian countries.The participants of the Great East Asia Conference are as follows.
Great East Asia Conference Participant Japan: Prime Minister Hideki Tojo
Republic of China: President Wang Zhaoming
Manchuria: Prime Minister Jang Kyung-hye
Republic of the Philippines: President Jose Laurel
Burma: Prime Minister Bar Mow
Kingdom of Thailand: Prince Wangwita Yacon
India: Free India Provisional Head of Government: Chandra Bose
Daedong-A DeclarationDaedong-A countries will work together to ensure stability and build a mutually beneficial order based on ethics.
The countries of Greater East Asia respect each other's independence, achieve mutual aid and friendship, and establish a friendly relationship with Greater East Asia.
The countries of Greater East Asia respect each other's traditions, promote creativity of each nation, and enhance the culture of Greater East Asia.
The Greater East Asian countries will work closely together to promote economic development and promote the prosperity of Greater East Asia.
Daitoa countries contribute to the future of the world by strengthening their friendship with all countries, eliminating racism, exchanging cultures widely, and opening up resources.
Unfortunately, Korea is not a spokesperson for Asia.The Great East Asia Conference is a gathering of Asian leaders to pledge independence and co-prosperity.After the war, Asian countries said they were able to become independent thanks to Japan.That's the truth.
Korea pretends to be an Asian spokesperson, but it is clear that Korea's claims do not represent Asian countries.
