The beginning of Japan's expansion The first encounter with the assassination
The lone wolf-like assassin emerges victorious in the city of Nara, and Shinzo ultimately fails to escape the pursuit of the Grim Reaper. You can cheer and celebrate, and you can also participate in the funeral, which is your freedom, and there is no need to judge it morally.
In the same way, others have the right to express their condolences and remembrances without being blamed for it.
Although I cannot accept your point of view, I firmly protect your right to express your opinion - Voltaire. This sentence seems simple, but in fact, we need to practice it with noble cultivation.
Today I would like to talk about a general problem, which is that in modern society, any form of lone wolf assassination will not really solve the problem, but will only make it worse.
Regardless of whether the assassination attempt was successful or not, the Assassins were honored as "five steps to blood in one rage, and the best in the world", and their names will be recorded in history.
However, the tragedy of "a million corpses in a rage", the blood of countless nameless people is often borne by innocent ordinary people.
Historically, assassinations of important military and political figures in Japan have occurred frequently, often triggering great changes in history and pushing the Yamato nation to the edge of the world. Among them, the bad impact of the "mutiny" of the fascist groups in the thirties of the last century cannot be ignored.
After the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces of China at a negligible price, and pressed forward step by step on the issue of "Manchuria". And the people above the white mountains and black waters have fallen into endless darkness and suffering in these events.
The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi, and his important minister Zhang Jinghui were transferred to Changchun, and then the Japanese-controlled "Manchukuo" was established, and Changchun was renamed Xinjing. The puppet emperor Pu Yi nominally became an important figure in the Far East.
Although Japan seems to be going well when encroaching on our country, it is not as simple as it seems. First, the pressure of the League of Nations had an effect on the Japanese authorities; Second, the position of Japanese politicians on the Mongolian and Manchurian issue was not unanimous, and at first some advocated avoiding the escalation of the situation or even an armistice.
However, the sounds disappeared in front of the sword and the blood-stained cherry blossoms. In April 1927, before the outbreak of the White Terror in China, the situation was tense. At the same time, the Northern Expedition was in full swing.
In Japan, Yoshiichi Tanaka became prime minister, and the military forces penetrated into all areas of the state apparatus. It is said that soon after Tanaka came to power, he submitted a "Tanaka Confession," advocating the use of force to resolve the Mongolian and Manchurian issues and win "living space" for Japan.
Under his influence, Japan twice sent troops to Shandong on the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, creating Jinan **, shocking China and foreign countries and killing many Chinese.
In the negotiations with the northeastern warlord Zhang Zuolin, the Japanese authorities did not go as smoothly as they had hoped. So, they planted a bomb near Huanggutun Station, intending to kill Zhang Zuolin.
However, this conspiracy did not achieve the desired effect, Zhang Zuolin's son Zhang Xueliang announced the change of banner in the Northeast, obeyed the orders of the Nanjing people, and hung the red flag of the blue sky and white sun.
At the same time, Japan's evil behavior in Shandong sparked anger and revolt across the country, and the boycott of Japanese products was in full swing across the country. The international community also exerted pressure on Japan, and Tanaka's cabinet was forced to announce the withdrawal of troops from Shandong in 1929.
Domestically, the Tanaka cabinet has been held accountable for its previous erroneous policies. The opposition parties also attacked Tanaka over Zhang Zuolin's death. Emperor Hirohito severely rebuked the Tanaka Cabinet, and finally in July of the same year, the entire Tanaka Cabinet resigned**.
New copywriting: After Prime Minister Tanaka left office, Yuyuki Hamaguchi of the Democratic Party took over. Immediately after Hamaguchi took office, Kishigero Bihara was reappointed as foreign minister. Bihara adheres to its previous policy of coordinated foreign policy, strives to improve relations with China, and recognizes China's tariff autonomy.
At the same time, he also adhered to the provisions of the Washington Treaty and controlled the naval armament. In those turbulent times, despite the various challenges facing Japan, there were still some rational and far-sighted people who were committed to avoiding escalation of the situation and preventing the entire nation from falling into the abyss of war.
Since the twenties of the last century, party politics in Japan has played a role in maintaining this balance to some extent, acting as a security barrier to protect the country.
However, tragedy inevitably occurs when ill-intentioned people violently undermine this security barrier.
Although Prime Minister Hamaguchi was well-intentioned in his attempts to improve the country's economic situation and restore Japan's vitality, his plans were dealt a major blow by the global financial crisis of 1929.
His industrial rationalization and tax reforms could have had significant results under normal circumstances, but in reality they were not. With the bankruptcy of many small and medium-sized enterprises and the loss of workers' jobs, his approval ratings began to decline.
Worse still, his disarmament policy has sparked resentment among opposition parties and right-wing groups, who claim that the cabinet has violated the principle of "independence of the command." Eventually, right-wing groups launched an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Hamaguchi, and although he survived, he was seriously injured and had to resign as prime minister.
Then, Reijiro Wakatsuki took over as prime minister.
Finding a shortcut to violence, once you taste the sweetness, it is difficult to quit and use it to solve any problem that violates the law. Bihara's peaceful diplomacy was criticized by the Kwantung Army and the Army Department as weak diplomacy, and people with evil intentions within the military department further instigated the incident.
Under the planning of the Kwantung Army staff officers Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner, the Japanese army blew up the railroad on the wicker lake in the suburbs of Shenyang, and blamed the squadron, and the Kwantung Army immediately launched a special military operation, which is often called the "September 18 Incident".
In order to avoid the escalation of the situation, the Wakatsuki Cabinet issued a "policy of no expansion," but the military headquarters still instigated the Japanese troops stationed in Korea to act without authorization and did not obey the orders of the cabinet, and the Kwantung Army's operations in the northeast expanded.
The Wakatsuki cabinet was forced to resign due to its inability to stop military action and the threat of assassination, and the president of the Seifukai Inukai took over as prime minister and reorganized the cabinet in an effort to stop the activities of the military department.
However, at this time, the military headquarters and the civil fascist groups were like a flood bursting the embankment, frantically using violence to achieve their goals, and also instigated Japanese monks and werewolves to enter Shanghai in Shanghai**, and marched into Shanghai under the pretext of protecting the expatriate, but this conspiracy failed to succeed under the resistance of the 19th Route Army and international pressure.
A coup d'état was planned and instigated by young Japanese soldiers to form a civil fascist group"One knife and one person"of assassination plans. The Blood Alliance successfully assassinated key members in 1932, including"Mitsui"The head of the chaebol and the former Minister of Finance.
On May 15 of the same year, the coup reached its climax, with the simultaneous influx of naval and civil fascist groups into several important locations, including the Metropolitan Police Department, the headquarters of the Political Friends Association, the Bank of Japan, and the Prime Minister's Office.
As a result, Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi collapsed in a pool of blood, the coup d'état announced the end of party politics, the military ministry began to control the cabinet, the whole of Japan was gradually shrouded in the shadow of war, the gears of the war machine had begun to turn, and war was only a matter of time.
The far-reaching consequences of Takeshi Inukai's death have caused both the left and right in Japan to abandon the idea of achieving political goals through legal means and instead seek violence and coups to achieve their goals.
As a result, Japan has become a place where various fascist and militarist factions compete for power. In the mid-30s of the 20 th century, the contradiction between the imperial faction and the control faction within the army became increasingly prominent.
Although the two factions advocated the establishment of a military ** centered on the emperor, while the latter advocated the establishment of a "high degree of national defense**" under the leadership of the Minister of War, although the two factions were different, no matter which faction came to power, it could not prevent Japan from embarking on the path of war.
On February 26, 1936, the Imperial Army officers again led the soldiers in a military coup d'état in an attempt to seize power in an all-round way. In this incident, a number of cabinet ministers were assassinated.
However, this madness caused the displeasure of Emperor Hirohito and other generals, and the Army Department took steps to suppress the coup and sentenced the coup leaders to death, including the early fascist ideologue Kita Kazuki.
However, it was already too late. Hirota Hiroki, a diplomat-turned-man, formed a cabinet and, in accordance with the ideas of the unification faction, established a "highly national defense state," significantly increased the military budget, and formulated a plan for foreign expansion.
Since then, the Yamato nation has embarked on a path of destruction, inflicting irreparable damage on the world and themselves.
Respect for life and civilization is a principle that each of us should adhere to. Any assassination is a desecration of human civilization and will bring endless chaos and destruction to society.
The fascism of Japan in modern history is a bloody example that deserves our deep consideration and vigilance. Everyone has the right to express their emotions about the death of **, but we should express it in a rational and legal way, not in a violent and illegal way to solve the problem.
Although his remarks and deeds have received a lot of criticism and accusations, we cannot ignore his contribution to improving Sino-Japanese relations. His efforts and achievements in relations with China have been recognized and praised by many people.
Although Hatoyama, Koizumi, Kan Naoto, Fukuda, and the current Fumio Kishida all have different views and positions on relations with China, they all expressed their importance and support for Sino-Japanese relations.
We should deal with the differences and contradictions between the two countries in a rational and peaceful manner, instead of resorting to extreme and violent means. In general, we should express our views and emotions in a peaceful, rational and legal way, respecting life and civilization and opposing any form of violence and assassination.
If you disagree with a part, you are welcome to provide examples and arguments to discuss it, otherwise it will not be accepted. Finally, remember: you have the right to express your emotions about the life or death of any historical figure, but as a person with a moral bottom line, you should understand that disorderly violence and assassinations, if left unchecked, can only lead to catastrophic consequences.
