Mr. Onoda, who will be dispatched immediately after entering the military academy
Hiroo Onoda: Entered Kurume Daiichi Army Preparatory Officer School in January 1944. In December of the same year, he was assigned to the 14th Area Army Intelligence Department, which was in charge of the Philippine Defense Campaign, and was dispatched to the Philippines with the duties of a remnant and commander of the game. The division commander, Lieutenant General Shizuo Yokoyama, said, "Break the jade is not at all . Do your best for 3 or 5 years. I will definitely pick you up. Be done. After the end of the war, the Japanese government knew from information from the Philippines that Japanese soldiers were hiding in the Jaguru on Lubang Island, and various search activities were carried out, but the four Japanese soldiers did not appear.
Three Japanese soldiers hiding in Lubang Island together
Yuichi Akatsu: He left the group in September 1949 and surrendered to the US military in June 1950.
Shoichi Shimada: He died in a shooting battle with the Philippine police force on May 7, 1954, when he was shot through his eyebrows. He is 41 years old.
Kinshichi Kozuka: He was shot in the shoulder and died in a shooting battle with the Philippine police force in January 1972. He is 51 years old.
MEMO The Filipino government searched for Japanese soldiers, sometimes in a shooting battle.
29 years of hidden life continues even if you are alone
In 1974, Norio Suzuki, an adventurer inspired by search activities, visited Lubang Island and succeeded in contacting Onoda. In the conversation, Onoda tells him that he will surrender if instructed by his superior. Onoda, who had been hiding for 29 years, read newspaper articles left by the Japanese search team and knew information about Japan's postwar economic development. But then why he couldn't find the command system , and why he didn't command himself was the reason he didn't surrender.
Onoda will leave the jungle in response to an order to cancel the mission by his former superior, Taniguchi.
(1) Due to a great command, the armed group will be released from all operational actions.
(2) The staff member's group will be released from all duties according to Sakumei Ko No. 2003.
(3) Each unit belonging to the General Staff Department and the persons concerned are directly involved in the battle and the work is stopped. If you don't get it, you can contact the U.S. Army or the Philippine Army directly.
POINT Even after Mr. Kotsuka passed away and became alone, his hiding life continued, and his duties were canceled by his former superior.

A nationwide pilgrimage by Emperor Showa after the war.The distance traveled is 33,000 kilometers.
Immediately after the war, the Emperor visits GHQ MacArthur's office.MacArthur thought Emperor came to ask for help in exile.It has never been seen in Western history that the head of state who lost the war remains in the country.It was common sense in the world to change dynasties, execute, and exile.Hitler has already committed suicide and Mussolini has been executed.
The Emperor said to MacArthur, "No matter what happens to me, I want you to save the lives of the Japanese people"Surprised by this, MacArthur wrote in his memoir that his fundamental view of Japanese rule has changed.
After that, the Emperor will go on a nationwide tour.The purpose was to encourage each and every citizen by walking all over Japan.There was nothing the Emperor could do for the people during the occupation, and it was a conclusion that he was worried about.
It begins in the midst of a Far East military trial.GHQ disbanded japanese army and the people can throw stones at Emperor or hang him on the neck.In the confusion of the wilderness after the defeat.Walk in the places where anyone can kill you.It was a trip of the Emperor with that determination.
Touring in a crowd of tens of thousands of people, The total distance traveled nationwide is 33,000 km, and the total number of days is 165 days.There were only a few companions in GHQ.I was told that plants and trees will not grow in Hiroshima, where the atomic bomb was dropped.As a country, there was no knowledge of radioactivity at all, only rumors spread, and no one tried to get close except those who lived in Hiroshima.
In 1947, the Emperor was in Hiroshima.People were encouraged, and people other than Hiroshima changed their minds to think, "Now that the Emperor has come, Hiroshima should be fine."
It is said that many Japanese were brave to make a pilgrimage to post-war Japan, which became Yakinohara.
The nationwide tour was far beyond GHQ's expectations.I don't understand people welcoming me here and there, let alone a stone.Britain and other countries reported that the situation was surprising and spread throughout Europe.
The long tour ends with Hokkaido as the final stop.The only regret is that I couldn't visit Okinawa, which Emperor had hoped for all my life.His Majesty Akihito wanted to visit Okinawa where was under U.S.A.
Western countries were surprised that the Japanese's love for the Emperor remained unchanged after the defeat.
The Greater East Asia War and the spirit of Kazuu Hakko have been erased from history Did Japan just invade?
Greater East Asia War erased from history
Kazuu Hakko is the spirit of world peace
Kazuu Hakko disappeared
Japanese who saved Jews
A time when ethnic discrimination was common
World War II included the European War, the Greater East Asia War, and the Pacific War. GHQ banned the official use of the words Greater East Asia War and Hakko Ichiu.
In Europe, Nazi Germany invaded, and the Pacific War was a war between Japan and the United States, but what happened in Asia has been omitted. There are also stories of the Sino-Japanese War, the Manchurian Incident, and the enslavement of the Korean Peninsula, which never happened.
Hakko Ichiu is the spirit advocated by Japan during the Greater East Asia War, and although it is a worldview centered on the Emperor that is a departure from current values, the essence is a world in which the world respects each other without discrimination of ethnic groups. It means to make.
This was the idea of Greater East Asia in confronting Western colonies. GHQ has historically erased the truth underlying these words and ideas. The intention is clear, Japan's war is simply a war of aggression, and the story is that America stopped it.
Hitoshi Imamura, who fought for the liberation of Indonesia, rejected the coercive policy theory as clearly going against the spirit of Kazuu Hakko, and did not change his conciliatory policy.
Kiichiro Higuchi, who rescued Jews fleeing Nazi persecution, also carried out his duties based on the spirit of Kazuu Hakko. The assimilation policy on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan is based on Kazuu Hakko's idea that once people become part of the same nation, they will be treated as people without distinction.
It is difficult to say whether Kazuu Hakko's spirit is correct in modern times from the perspective of people's right to self-determination, but the world at that time was full of ethnic discrimination, and the world economy was built on this premise, and the dominant ethnic group was divided into It was a time when people were divided into dominant ethnic groups.
Although there is no such thing as a good war, Japan at the time did not invade Asia just to plunder it. Think about why it was removed from history.
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 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.
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.
The postwar Asian order was created by the United States - Japan faced with the Hull note - The end of the China - centered idea of Asia.
Looking at the postwar period, it is clear that the international community wanted Asia to revolve around China. This can be explained by the fact that China is a permanent member of the United Nations. The United Nations was like an alliance of victorious nations, and its original purpose was to confront the enemy nations of Japan, Germany, and Italy, and to build world peace. China is not a victorious country. Japan was in a state of division and rule based on concessions from Europe, and Japan had no hope in the Sino-Japanese War. However, China is named in the Potsdam Declaration, Japan's surrender document.
The Cold War had already begun during the war, and the United States did not want to be left behind in the postwar international order. The United States only had interests in Asia such as the Philippines and had no interest in the war, but as the war was coming to an end, they requested participation in order to have a say in the post-war period. After leading the ABCD encirclement and bombing Japan with supplies, the Pacific War begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is said to be a de facto ultimatum. That is the reason for America's participation in the war. Japan's fight in Asia was a fight against European colonialism, and the United States needed a cause. What was created there was a story called ``A fight for justice to defeat the Japanese invaders.'' The invaders of Asia for the past 400 years have been white people.
Japan's resistance was so strong that the United States finally asked for the Soviet Union to join the war. He asked Japan to revoke the Soviet-Japanese neutrality declaration and participate in the war. Roosevelt died there. Later, Truman became president and learned of the existence of atomic bomb research. The atomic bomb was a national secret known only to the president, not even the vice president. Truman's plans change and he chooses to drop the atomic bomb on Japan without waiting for the Soviet Union to enter the war. This is because the United States would have prevented a war in Asia by eliminating the Soviet Union. This has been revealed through the release of classified US documents, which revealed that the text that stated that the position of the Emperor would be preserved was deleted from the proposal for the instrument of surrender to Japan. Negotiations to end the war had already been carried out through the Soviet Union, and the Japanese side's demand was that the Emperor's status be preserved, which was written in the original surrender document.
In the first place, there is no reason for the United States to participate in the Greater East Asia War. The United States created the story of a just war, and from this point on, propaganda such that there is justice and injustice in wars naturally takes place, and the United States always takes the lead. There can be no justice or anything in war.
The Nanjing Military Tribunal ruled that more people than the population of Nanjing had been massacred, and after the war China was used as an important card in explaining its status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council in the international community. China was positioned as both a war victim and a victor. South Korea and North Korea took advantage of this. They tried to take the position of the victorious country by claiming fictitious war damage even though they had not fought the war itself. South Korea still considers itself the Jew of Asia.
These things have come to light through the disclosure of confidential US documents after the secrecy period, and are based on facts that even the Japanese did not know. In recent years, the United States has begun to reevaluate the war, and the comfort women issue is no exception. One of the reasons may be that the number of Americans who are pro-Japanese has been rapidly increasing recently. In other words, what I am trying to say is that these historical views were created by the United States, and China, South Korea, and North Korea have taken advantage of them. In other words, since the United States is reevaluating itself, there is no going back to the fictional story of the past.
