Paid work in the 21st century is a joke, but it was not during World War II. Especially for the axis countries such as Italy and Hungary, if they are given a chance to change camps now, they will be willing to pay no matter what the cost.阑

Although France has stopped resisting, with the support of de Gaulle's Free France and southern Africa, France can still be counted in the Allied camp, thus becoming a victorious country and having the opportunity to participate in dividing the fruits of victory.

Although the whole of Europe has been beaten to pieces and there are not many fruits of victory to be divided, the French are lucky enough to be able to save their overseas colonies.

Germany, which lost World War I, lost all its overseas colonies, which is why Germany was so difficult during the period before Mustache came to power.

If Germany still had overseas colonies at that time, even a tearful sale would be enough to get Germany through the most difficult stage.

The most correct thing Australia did during the two world wars was to hug the thighs of southern Africa, so providing free labor was not a problem at all.

As for Americans, just go and stay wherever you like.

The news that there will be a public trial for prisoners of war is not a secret. Australian officers and soldiers guarding Japanese prisoners of war will also discuss this issue during work. The focus is the list in Angel's hand.

5,700 people is not a small number, including most of the captured officers.

Japanese officers still have great influence within the Japanese army, so much so that the Australians have to rely on the cooperation of some Japanese officers to manage prisoner of war camps. Many low-level positions in prisoner of war camps are even held by Japanese officers. The Allies are about to open a public trial.

After the news of the prisoners of war spread, it inevitably had an impact on the stability of the prisoner of war camp.

"At least General MacArthur was right about one thing. After the war is over, our rule over Japan cannot be separated from the cooperation of the Japanese." Major General White, who is responsible for managing the prisoner of war camp, also came to find Angel with the same purpose as MacArthur, hoping that Angel

The list can be shortened.

Those who have committed the most heinous crimes must not be let go. Even if An Qi lets them go, White will not let them out of the prisoner of war camp.

Not all Japanese officers were heinous. Many of them did not serve in the front-line troops and had no Allied blood on their hands. These people also performed well in the prisoner-of-war camps. They not only assisted the defenders in managing the prisoners of war, but also helped maintain the prisoners of war.

Emotions.

Otherwise, if the number of prisoners of war was reduced from 400,000 to 300,000, the Japanese would not have reacted at all.

At that time, the US-Philippine coalition prisoner of war camp organized many prison escapes.

"Have you forgotten that photo?" Angie was relatively patient with White. After all, compared with MacArthur, White could barely be considered one of his own.

"Don't ever forget it!" White hates the Japanese no less than Angel, so he gained Angel's trust to manage the prisoner of war camp.

It was precisely because of the period of managing a prisoner of war camp that some changes occurred in White's thinking.

Killing all the prisoners of war would certainly satisfy the hatred, but what to do next? Should we kill all the Japanese?

Even An Qi is not so cruel.

"My idea is to transform Japan into a new type of colony and let the Japanese work for us forever and create wealth for us. In this way, we will need the cooperation of some Japanese people. Instead of looking for it from Japan, it is better to get it from the captives.

Select some people who are easier to control, pardon their crimes, and let them help us manage other Japanese." White also had a heart to colonize Japan, but his starting point was very different from MacArthur.

An Qi looked at White with a slightly cold gaze.

White looked directly at An Qi, his eyes calm.

"The same goes for choosing among the remaining prisoners." An Qi's thinking was still different from White's.

Although Anton holds a high position, he does not dote on An Qi. An Qi worked next to Roque before, and Roque also had strict requirements on An Qi, so An Qi does not have many bad deeds like a playboy.

White came from an old Scottish aristocratic family and received the same elite education since childhood, otherwise he would not have the chance to become a general.

"Japan is a hierarchical feudal country. You should notice that members of the aristocracy have huge influence in Japan. If we can have their cooperation, it will be easier for us to colonize Japan -" White said bluntly,

Let alone the excuses of transformation, the essence is colonization.

This is true. Compared with semi-feudal countries like the UK, Southern Africa is a truly democratic country, so Angel really doesn’t know much about Japan’s social structure.

If the children of Japanese aristocrats join the army, they will definitely not start as private soldiers. At the very least, they will be officers.

An Qi now wants to execute all the captured Japanese officers with a stroke of his pen. Then, there will also be problems with the management of the prisoner of war camp.

The Japanese are indeed very tolerant.

The work of the prisoners was so intense, the living conditions were so harsh, and so many people died. The reason why the remaining people could endure it was because they still had hope of survival.

Now that all the officers are executed, it is obvious what will happen next.

"Is there a list?" An Qi was persuaded by White. He was not willing to go down in history in the name of the butcher.

White was indeed prepared. He took out a list from his jacket pocket and handed it to Angel.

An Qi took it and opened it. The first name was Takeuchi Temple.

Takeuchi Temple comes from the famous Takeuchi family in Japan. In fact, just by looking at the name, you can tell that anyone with a surname is basically from a noble family in Japan.

In ancient times, the Japanese did not have surnames, only first names, so many Japanese names were called Dalang Erlang Sanlang, which is similar to the boss, laoer, laosan in southern Africa.

In 1870, in order to meet the needs of military recruitment, taxation, household registration, etc., the Japanese government promulgated the "Common People's Hmong Character Permission Order", allowing all Japanese, including civilians who were previously not allowed to have surnames, to have surnames.

However, Japanese civilians who were accustomed to having names and no surnames were not enthusiastic about this, so the work of creating surnames was implemented slowly.

Therefore, in 1875, the Japanese government promulgated the "Order on the Must Use of Miao Characters for Common People", which stipulated that all Japanese must use surnames.

From this time on, Japanese civilians had surnames.

Takeuchiji's resume is very good. He studied in the United Kingdom and the United States. His English name is Franklin. After the outbreak of the world war, Takeuchiji was drafted into the army. However, he was an anti-war activist and did not serve in the front-line troops. Instead, he worked in the logistics department.

He worked in the army and voluntarily fled the battlefield during the Battle of Manila, and was later captured by the locals.

It was precisely because he was captured by the locals that Takeuchi Temple escaped.

Given the brutality of the Battle of Manila, Takeuchiji would not have escaped death regardless of whether he was captured by the Southern African Expeditionary Force or the US military.

Because he had studied in Europe, Takeuchiji's English was very good. He was born in a noble family. He also learned Chinese well and could write beautiful calligraphy. That's why he was selected by White and currently serves as the second labor force in the first prisoner of war camp.

vice captain.

The chief captain is an Australian.

However, the captain is only responsible for assigning work tasks and managing the work of the labor team. Takeuchiji is actually responsible for it.

When White went to see Angel, Takeuchiji was comforting the panicked Japanese prisoners of war.

Not every Japanese has a death wish and is willing to serve the king and become a god after death.

Those who were determined to die had either died in battle, or were shot dead by the defenders when they tried to escape from the prisoner of war camp, or they had been locked up in a dungeon for their heinous crimes, without even a chance to go out for fun.

Being released means leaving the prisoner of war camp to work.

After the news that the Allies were about to publicly try prisoners of war spread, it had a huge impact on the prisoner of war camps. No one, including Takeuchiji, knew how long the list in An Qi's hands was, so various versions of rumors spread like wildfire.

.

"How is it possible to kill us all? We work hard to create wealth for southern Africans and Australians. Even if someone wants to kill us all, it is more likely to be Americans, not southern Africans and Australians.

"Takeuchiji is really not naive. On the contrary, he is very smart. He knows that if he wants to survive in the prisoner of war camp, he must put all the responsibilities on the Americans.

Southern Africans and Australians cannot make mistakes. Only ruthless Americans would raise the butcher's knife to avenge the bloody Bataan Death March.

"I heard someone said that this public trial was organized by Southern Africans." A squad leader named Matsushita He was shaking all over. The Japanese not only have hatred against the Americans, but also the hatred against the Chinese in Southern Africa is so great that it cannot be resolved.

Degree.

This has been verified in the Malay Campaign and the Philippine Campaign.

The Japanese prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camps now all come from the Japanese troops formed after the Pacific War, and they have never been to the other side before, so they have the opportunity to enter the prisoner-of-war camp.

Those veteran troops formed before 1939, especially those that participated in the invasion of China, even the later supplementary troops, had never been to the opposite side, and they were all executed after being captured, without even a chance to defend themselves.

There must be some injustice here.

But in the context of the world war, no one paid attention to this.

"Have you ever personally killed Allied officers and soldiers, or civilians?" Takeuchiji asked Matsushita, this question is very critical.

Takeuchiji has been in the army for three years and has never fired a gun. He is a nobleman and no one has investigated this.

"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Matsushita secretly rejoiced, anyone who had blood on his hands would still be in the dungeon as long as he was alive.

"Then you don't have to worry. Southern Africa is the most developed country in the world, and it is also the most civilized country. They will not kill innocent people indiscriminately-" Takeuchiji's words made him feel guilty.

"If I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, then why am I here?" Daqiao, a new immigrant from the Philippines who is not a soldier at all, burst into tears.

There were not only prisoners of war in the prison camp, but also new immigrants who immigrated to Southeast Asia before the war. Like Takeuchiji, they were all sent over by the Philippines.

Miraculously, the "prisoners of war" sent by the Filipinos were only men. As for women and property——

Maybe it was divided by Filipinos, as Filipinos are also good at this kind of thing.

"You are here because you need to atone for your sins. As the beneficiaries of the expansion of the Japanese Empire, all of us are guilty." Takeuchiji reflected very thoroughly. If Anqi were here, he would have to give Takeuchiji a big smile.

Thumbs up.

There is also the contribution of the Australians.

Managing prisoners of war is a technical job, and it cannot be done simply by being simple and crude. You must also do ideological work to make the prisoners of war recognize their sins and be willing to atone for their sins.

The method is of course simple.

In the process of fighting Japan, the Allied forces seized a lot of written and image materials, videos and photos taken by the Japanese themselves.

Not to mention the distance, just talking about the Bataan Death March, there are thousands of related photos. I don’t know why the Japanese spent so much money to leave evidence to the Allies.

Mostly it was for domestic propaganda, to appeal to young and militant Japanese to enlist in the army, and to give them some stimulation.

Now these pictures and videos have become the best tools for educating Japanese prisoners of war.

On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. If you die, blame yourself for your lack of skill. You can't blame others.

To attack prisoners of war who have laid down their weapons, and even to massacre unarmed civilians, can only be described as worse than animals.

The Germans and the Russians fought urban offensive and defensive battles, and the civilians killed and injured were different. Those were considered manslaughter. The Japanese gathered civilians to massacre. No matter what standard is used, it is a complete crime against humanity.

.

Of course, these atrocities, in the words of the Japanese government, reflect the status of the Japanese Empire in dominating Asia.

Status means I can kill you whenever I want.

Whatever way I want to kill you, I'll use whatever way I want to kill you.

"I came to the Philippines, worked hard with my wife, and earned a meager income to take care of my four children. The benefits the empire gained from launching the war had nothing to do with me. Why am I guilty too?" Ohashi still couldn't figure it out. Deep in his heart, he even

I already consider myself a Filipino.

Filipinos in this era are Americans.

"As a Japanese, as long as you have Japanese blood in your body, you are guilty." Takeuchiji was also completely brainwashed by the Americans.

The United States has the so-called "one drop of blood principle" when it comes to judging black people. Even if you appear to be exactly the same as a white person, there is no difference. As long as your ancestors have black people and you have black genes in your body, then you are black.

This certainly makes sense when it comes to the Japanese.

Daqiao may be innocent, but at the moment, no one is investigating whether what Daqiao said is true, and even if it is true, no one will stand up for Daqiao.com.

This is the cruelty of war, no one is immune.

"So we should die?" Matsushita River still couldn't accept it. What kind of bullshit theory was this?

"Of course not, but the outcome does not depend on the mercy of Southern Africans or Australians, but on ourselves." Takeuchiji is determined to be a loyal dog to Southern Africans and Australians, and then look at Southern Africans and Australia.

People are reluctant to kill.
