Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The first list of Class A war criminals announced by the Allies mainly included members of the Tojo cabinet, and the military was not involved.

Japan's external expansion is largely driven by the military. Therefore, although the cabinet has responsibilities, the military's responsibilities are greater and the scope of accountability is wider. None of them, such as Matsui Iwane and Hata Shunroku, can escape.

Destined to receive justice.

If you have the courage to commit suicide when defeated, you will finally be in line with your cruel personality. If you are ruthless to the enemy, you will be even more ruthless to yourself.

The reality is that in order to avoid punishment, everyone shows off their abilities, pretends to be crazy and acts foolishly, attempts suicide unsuccessfully to win sympathy, and even prepares fake funerals for themselves.

The person who prepared a fake funeral for himself was Army Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii, commander of the 731th Army.

Ishii Shiro is known as the crazy medic of the Japanese Army. He graduated from Kyoto Imperial University School of Medicine. He is very arrogant. In the Japanese Army at that time, the highest military rank for a military doctor was lieutenant general. However, Ishii Shiro arrogantly said: I must be promoted to general.

.

For this dream, Shiro Ishii began to study bacteria, not to cure diseases and save lives, but to apply bacteria to war.

Bacterial warfare is not uncommon on European battlefields. Gas masks have been standard supplies on European battlefields a long time ago. During World War I, both the Allies and the Entente used them in large quantities on the battlefield, and everyone was accustomed to them.

Shiro Ishii's "superiority" lies in conducting bacterial experiments on human bodies, and the subjects of his experiments are not only prisoners, but also civilians and prisoners of war. Even Americans are also his research subjects.

During the war, Shiro Ishii desperately advocated for germ warfare, believing that Japan did not have rich mineral deposits and lacked the raw materials necessary for making weapons. The first characteristic of germ weapons is their high power, wide spread, high lethality and high mortality rate. In addition,

The cost is also low, which is especially suitable for Japan, which has less steel.

The Japanese government was convinced of Shiro Ishii's advocacy. In addition to Japan's lack of steel, another important reason was that the Japanese opponents' equipment level was relatively poor at that time. They lacked the necessary understanding of germ warfare and were rarely equipped with gas masks.

The effect is indeed there.

Although the effect is good, the impact of conducting experiments on living people is very bad. Ishii Shiro himself also knew that once Japan was defeated, he would definitely be held accountable, so the day before Japan's defeat, Ishii Shiro abandoned his subordinates and went alone.

Returned to Japan and prepared a funeral for himself.

Preparing for a funeral does not mean going to die calmly, but going to the funeral once you learn that you are included in the list of war criminals, creating the illusion that you are dead, and trying to avoid punishment in this way.

Since the first batch of war criminals list did not involve military members, Shiro Ishii's funeral has not yet been used. He is hiding in his hometown of Chiyoda waiting to "die".

The Ishii family is still very powerful in Chiyoda. It is considered a wealthy family in Chiyoda. There are four brothers. The eldest Hyoo died in the Russo-Japanese War. The second son Takeo works in the army. The third son Ishii Sano works as an army engineer with Ishii.

Shiro also serves in Unit 731.

Ishii Shiro never went out after returning to his hometown. If Ishii Shiro was included in the list of war criminals, his assistant Naito Ryoichi would tell him the news as soon as possible, so that his funeral could be used.

While he was in constant panic, Ishii Shiro also harbored illusions. Because of von Braun, Southern Africa and the United States were still in a lawsuit, accusing each other of harboring war criminals. Ishii Shiro believed that he was also a special talent and qualified to accept

Allied protection.

The Japanese government also knew the consequences after Unit 731 was exposed, so before the end of the war, it ordered the destruction of all evidence related to Unit 731, including all research materials.

Shiro Ishii strictly followed the orders of the Japanese government and not only used explosives to blow up the research institute of Unit 731, but also destroyed all the "consumables" used for experiments, burned the bodies and threw the ashes into the river. All 53 military doctors with doctorate titles,

They all returned to Japan on military aircraft.

In order to cover up his crimes, Shiro Ishii issued a strict order when Unit 731 was disbanded: everyone must conceal the fact that they had served in Unit 731 after returning home, cover up their military experience, and are not allowed to hold any public office.

At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for troop members to communicate with each other, and the secrets of Unit 731 must be taken to the grave.

Taking it to the grave was what Shiro Ishii said, but he himself was not prepared to do so. Although the research data of Unit 731 was not brought back to Japan, many of the data obtained through human experiments were deeply remembered in Ishii's mind.

The money Ishii used to save his life.

Ishii's method worked to a certain extent. The U.S. military was busy arresting big figures such as Matsui Iwane and Hata Shunroku, and for the time being could not pay attention to the "little guy" Ishii Shiro.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force did not let go of Ishii Shiro. Naito Ryoichi was arrested before Ishii. After interrogation, it was learned that Ishii Shiro was hiding in his hometown.

As a wealthy family in Chiyoda, the Ishii family is well known in Chiyoda. The military police of the Expeditionary Force came directly to the Ishii family to arrest people. As expected, they were blocked by the Ishii family.

"My father is terminally ill and will die soon. Please let him end his life quietly -" Ishii Shiro's son begged, hoping that the military police would let Ishii Shiro go.

It is said that trouble cannot harm the family. In fact, no one is innocent in the context of war. When Shiro Ishii was serving in "Xinjing", his family lived with him in Xinjing. In another time and space, Harumi Ishii, the child of Shiro Ishii, lived in Xinjing many years later.

He reluctantly recalled: It was a unique house, as if it had been moved from a romantic movie like "Gone with the Wind".

For the victims of bacterial experiments, war is extremely cruel, and their fate is extremely tragic.

For Ishii's daughter, war can be associated with romance.

How could this be innocent?!

!

"We have the best military doctors who can provide him with the best treatment." The military policeman has a good temper and has the patience to deal with Shiro Ishii's son.

This statement also sounds a bit absurd. Shiro Ishii is a military doctor himself, and he is also the highest-ranking military doctor.

"Please don't disturb my father, he needs a quiet rest -" The attitude of the military police may have caused some misunderstandings to Ishii Shiro's son. He probably also thought that the military police were not here to arrest people, but to invite people, otherwise the attitude would be impossible

so good.

"Is this how you use 'please'?" The military policeman's attitude was really not gentle, but a joke similar to a cat playing with a mouse.

I have long heard that Japanese people are very polite, and indeed they are very polite, even using honorifics when rejecting people.

However, the military police of the Southern African Expeditionary Force were obviously different from the prisoners who were unable to resist, and they were also different from the submissive civilians of Chiyoda. Ishii Shiro's son immediately felt the power of the iron fist of imperialism.

Boom!

A rifle butt hit Ishii's son hard on the neck. Two military policemen came over and handcuffed Ishii's son. This son was obviously an adult. Whether he was guilty or not would be decided later. It was definitely right to arrest him first.

The Ishii family members who were still harboring fantasies suddenly panicked. Their attitude didn't look like they were here to invite someone.

"Stop, I am Shiro Ishii, please let them go, I will follow you." Shiro Ishii finally showed up. This guy who is full of evil has a tall figure that exceeds the average Japanese.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, which was very rare in Japan at this time.

What was different from Shiro Ishii's imagination was that the military police did not let go of Shiro Ishii's family. After arresting all his family members, the military police also conducted a comprehensive search of Shiro Ishii's home to collect evidence of Shiro Ishii's crimes.

evidence.

For a rural wealthy family like Ishii Shiro, the job of confiscating homes is definitely a lucrative job. The Ishii family was already rich, and they worked in the military for so many years. There was no telling how many "trophies" they had during the war, and now they are all cheaper in the south.

African Expeditionary Force.

This is considered a round-up.

Due to his special status, Ishii Shiro was not imprisoned in the Kamosu Prison in Tokyo, but was sent to the Southern African Expeditionary Force's station in Tokyo.

"I made no mistakes. All my actions during the war were to faithfully fulfill the orders of the government and the military. I was just an executor. Many things were not what I wanted to do -" Shiro Ishii denied it in every possible way, refusing to admit that he

crime.

"Then tell me what orders you received and what work you did." Second Lieutenant Burke, who was in charge of interrogating Ishii, was not in a hurry.

Although Ishii has issued a gag order, how can it be possible to seal everyone's mouths? Dozens of doctors are all named, and Naito Ryoichi is not a tight-lipped person. As soon as he was arrested, he

He fully explained the facts of his crime.

When Japan surrendered, there were still about 7 million troops. When the Allies were held responsible after the war, it was impossible to kill all 7 million people. Key criminals like Shiro Ishii would do everything they could to survive, as would everyone else.

"I am mainly responsible for sewage treatment work in Xinjing -" Shiro Ishii had already thought of his words.

Bacterial experiments are inhumane, so you have to find a good slogan, and sewage treatment becomes the best way to cover it up.

"Does sewage treatment require an incinerator?" Lieutenant Burke had evidence in his hand.

Before leaving Xinjing, although Ishii ordered the use of explosives to blow up all the research institutes related to Unit 731, due to the insufficient quantity of explosives, several chimneys were not destroyed. It is not difficult to find evidence.

"That's for burning garbage -" Shiro Ishii said harshly. After giving the order, he took a plane to inspect the extent of the damage and took some photos.

Photos are also evidence.

This is the consequences of leaving no escape route.

Much of the evidence the Allies have now was actually provided by the Japanese on their own initiative, such as the one showing the Australian pilot's head chopped off.

The Australians still have no intention of letting Japan go, and strongly demand that Hirohito be included in the list of war criminals and sent to court for trial. In order to appease the Australians, MacArthur reserved the chief justice among the 11 judges to Australia, trying to calm the anger of the Australians.

This is useless, even if the Australians no longer insist, there is still southern Africa.

Southern Africa is not something that a single justice can bribe.

Now just to appease the Japanese, An Qi did not order the arrest of Hirohito.

However, Hirohito would not be free for long. His palace had been fully controlled by the Allied forces. Hirohito himself and all members of the royal family were under strict surveillance by the Allied forces and could be arrested at any time.

"Do you know Ryoichi Naito?" Second Lieutenant Burke was ready to break down Shiro Ishii's psychological defense.

Shiro Ishii did not argue this time and resisted with silence.

This is also useless.

The reason why the Southern African Expeditionary Force talks about evidence is because of procedural requirements. After all, civilized people cannot be the same as barbarians and must deal with problems in a civilized way.

Otherwise, it would be very simple to deal with the problem of war criminals. During the period of detention, not only one but two war criminals died due to various reasons. Some died of illness and suffered in agony before death. Some committed suicide. The scene of the bloody scene was too horrific to watch.

After struggling in pain for more than ten hours, he ended up with his head missing -

These are all normal deaths, and there is absolutely no interference from anyone else. After all, those who can reach the level of a Class A war criminal are all elderly people in their 70s and 80s. Birth, old age, illness and death are all too normal.

"Naito Ryoichi has truthfully confessed your criminal behavior. If you cooperate with us honestly, explain your criminal crimes, and charge the relevant responsible persons in court, then the court may eventually consider giving you leniency.

"Second Lieutenant Burke used coercion and inducement. Only by cooperating honestly can we survive.

It's just a possibility. Second Lieutenant Burke is not a promise, and he is not qualified to promise anything to Shiro Ishii on behalf of the Far East Military Tribunal.

"I want to see your supreme commander." Shiro Ishii knew that resisting would lead to death, and survival is the truth.

Shiro Ishii knew his own affairs, and his actions during the war would not be justified once he went to court, and he would eventually die. Therefore, it was the right thing to sell the experimental data he had at a good price.

Now it depends on who it is sold to.

For Shiro Ishii, selling to southern Africa is the same as selling to the United States. There is essentially no difference, as long as he can survive.

"Our supreme commander is in the Lion City, you are not qualified to make such a request." Lieutenant Burke refused simply.

The experimental data of Shiro Ishii do have a certain value, but for southern Africa, the value is not as great as Shiro Ishii imagined, and it can only serve as a reference at most.

When did Japan start to experiment with bacteria? The old imperialist countries have been studying bacteria for I don’t know how many years ago. How did the bacterial weapons that appeared on the European battlefields appear? There are unknown secrets hidden behind them.

secret.

As a new capitalist country, Southern Africa also has in-depth research on bacteria. Otherwise, Southern Africa would not have such strong strength in medical treatment.

The key is the research method and the selection of experimental subjects. Active and passive are two different things.

In prisons in southern Africa, there are many death row inmates who are willing to undergo experiments to leave some benefits for their families.

It’s useless if you don’t want to. Victims always need compensation. Where the money comes from, it can’t all be borne by the federal governments at all levels.
