What secrets does Azovstal hide
In 1830, when the Manchester-Liverpool railway opened, MP William Huskison suffered a railway accident on the same day. It is said that in the first half of 1852 alone, 113 people died in railway accidents in Britain and 264 were injured.
The scene was even worse in the first half of 1853, when 148 people died and 191 were injured in railway accidents. The Victorian era was the pinnacle of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and the mechanical age of the Industrial Revolution brought prosperity to the political and economic life of Britain.
Iron and steel, especially the railway, became the most representative vehicle of modern change, which accelerated the flow of capital and improved the efficiency of work. However, those "insignificant" ** are the witnesses of this "rumbling" era.
If you want to symbolize the industrial age, then the huge steel mill that is like a city, spewing black smoke, day and night, is the best choice, and the power to change the day will terrify everyone who sees it.
Ever during World War II, Asia's largest steel mill was located in **? Known as the "Showa Steel Works", the plant was built in June 1933 with full capital from the Manchuria Railway Company, and was the largest steel plant in Asia at the time.
The establishment of this factory was the result of the seizure of the southern section of the Manchurian Eastern Railway and the operation of the Fushun Coal Mine by Japan after the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 in accordance with the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.
South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. is Japan's largest investment of 100 million yen, and the other half of the shares are mainly from the Japanese royal family, aristocrats, and bureaucrats founded in 1906. In April 1907, the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. was opened, and the "Showa Steel Works" was established in Anshan in May 1933 by the "Manchurian Railway", monopolizing the iron and steel industrial and mining enterprises in the northeast.
The Manchurian Railway Health Research Institute, a biological product department established by Japan during colonial rule, was established to serve Japan's war of aggression. The institute was established in 1927 and consisted of several departments, such as bacteriology, pathology, chemistry, hygiene, serum, vaccine, etc., and was taken over by the Japanese Kwantung Army in 1938.
Although the institute was once part of the Manchurian Railway Enterprise, it left a deep wound in the hearts of Chinese and was a nightmare that would not be mentioned.
After the experiment, a staff member of the Manchurian Railway Health Research Institute decided to change the name of the research team to the "731st Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Unit of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria". Despite the historical controversy surrounding this decision, the philosophy and goals behind it – to preserve public health and safeguard human health – have not changed.
Unit 731 not only directly commanded the special forces of the Kwantung Army, but also took command of the epidemic prevention and water supply departments in North, Central, South and South Pacific.
This puts Unit 731 at the center of the entire Japanese bacteriological strategic network, serving as both a research base and an operational command center. Its main responsibility is to guide and train the performance experiments and use of joint bacteriological **, and in order to achieve this purpose, Unit 731 has set up a special "special squad" to manage and control "Maluta".
Maluta"The term refers to Chinese, Soviet, Mongol, and Korean internees in the war, as well as Chinese journalists, scholars, workers, students, and their families who participated in the anti-Japanese movement.
After being captured by the Kwantung Army, these people were subjected to unimaginable torture and abuse, and were cruelly used as experimental materials. In short,"Maluta"It's the people who are used to conduct bacterial experiments.
In Unit 731, all the "Malutay" did not have names, only numbers. They are the "materials" for the troops to conduct live experiments and are used only according to research needs.
Regardless of their previous experience, personality, age, they are seen as irrelevant. Even if they were able to speak before they were imprisoned in the army, once they became "Maluta", they were treated as experimental material that could not survive.
There are even some female "Maluta", who are suspected of being anti-Japanese** women and Chinese female students, who are mainly used as materials for STD experiments.
In the steel complex of "Manchurian Railway", the first "Unit 731" was born, is such a marriage between steel and viruses just an isolated case? It just so happened that during World War II, the world's largest steel mill was located in Maryland, USA, where the air was sweet and Sparrow Steel was the world's largest steel production center at that time.
In 1916, Sparrow Steel acquired a company founded in 1880, and most of the most famous American bridges, the Golden Gate Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, and the Bay Bridge, as well as shipbuilding steel during World War II, came from here.
During this period, a total of 1,127 ships were built at 15 subordinate shipyards.
Fort Detrick – Maryland's biochemical ** base, founded in 1931 and located in Frederick. Covering an area of 1,200 acres, there are four institutions: the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Human Services.
The main responsibilities are to conduct biomedical research and development, medical supplies management, global medical communication and research on foreign plant pathogens.
In September 1945, Sanders, a bacteriological warfare expert at the Fort Detrick base in the United States, conducted an in-depth investigation of Japanese germ warfare and made contact with important members of Unit 731, including Shiro Ishii, the leader of the unit, in order to better understand and study this large-scale biological warfare behavior.
A few years after the Tokyo trial, a secret agreement was reached between the United States and Japan. As part of the agreement, the United States obtained data on human experiments, bacteriological experiments, bacteriological warfare, poison gas experiments conducted by Unit 731, including a large number of experimental reports, as well as more than 8,000 pathological specimens and slides, which are the results of live human experiments and live human dissections with bacteriological **.
Historical records show that Unit 731 conducted a number of human experiments, including melioidosis, anthrax, and plague bacteria, and used the words "Department of Research and Development, Chemical Forces, Biological Warfare Laboratory, Fort Detrick Base, Maryland" on the cover of the experimental report.
In the spring of 1949, the U.S. Army formed a small but mysterious team of chemists at Camp Detrick, called the "Special Operations Division". Their mission was to explore the military application of germs.
Compared to Unit 731, Fort Detrick is just as good at human experimentation, if not more brutal, as they not only test on the "enemy", but also directly attack "their own people".
In order to change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield and test the results of biological research, in early 1952, the US team used bacteriological bombs containing plague and cholera bacteria to launch bacteriological warfare against Korea and Northeast China.
This was developed on the basis of the Japanese bacteriological warfare methods of Unit 731.
CNN unveils a staggering history: about 7,000 U.S. soldiers were forced to participate in chemical tests over a 20-year period, from 1955 to 1975.
Sadly, these valiant soldiers still do not have access to the complete medical records of the trials, and they do not know what kind of drugs they have been injected with, whether there will be sequelae, and even whether future generations will be endangered.
Such an act is not only a disregard for the lives of soldiers, but also a desecration of humanity. We must remember this history so that every soldier involved in the experiment receives the respect and attention it deserves.
Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fate of Human Society explains why Eurasian civilizations have survived and defeated other civilizations throughout history.
Among them, in addition to relying on force, another means of conquest is the virus. The book illustrates that during the Great Voyage, during the Spanish colonization of South America, in the Battle of Cajamarca, the Spaniards defeated 80,000 indigenous Incas with their steel (armor and **) and guns brought by their technological innovations, and the emperor of the Inca Empire was captured, all of which was enough to fill a room.
Prior to this battle, the Inca Empire had just suffered a civil war with smallpox, which Columbus brought with him when he arrived in the New World. This is the conquest of steel, guns, and germs.
In some cases, people may associate virus experiments with steel production. This is because steel production is an industry that requires a lot of chemists, and chemistry and biology are closely linked.
In places where the steel industry is developed, a large number of trained "biochemists" can be found, which lays a talent base for virus research. In addition, steel production also requires a variety of basic chemical and physical laboratories, and the investment in these laboratories saves a lot of infrastructure costs for the subsequent construction of biological laboratories and provides a material basis for virus research.
Finally, steel production is a large-scale complex industry, which has a very strong driving effect on the surrounding areas, including basic living support, material support for early construction, and energy and security guarantee for later operation, which provides an operational foundation for virus research.
Therefore, it is not surprising that high-level biological laboratories with talent, material and operational bases are incubated by large steel plants.
So, do you know where Europe's largest steel mill is located? That's right, right in Mariupol! The city is located on the Sea of Azov and has deep-water berths, so the port of Mariupol is the largest port on the Sea of Azov.
In addition, the "Azovstal Plant" in the city is one of the largest steel plants in Europe. Located on the left bank of the Kalimimus River, next to the blue Sea of Azov, the Azovstal plant has the capacity to produce 5.3 million tons of steel per year.
In Soviet times, the Azovstal plant was famous for its manufacture of steel for tank armor.
The history of the Azovstal plant dates back to 1933, when it was an important construction project in the Soviet Union. In 1941, after Nazi Germany occupied Mariupol, the factory was forced to shut down.
However, in September 1943, when the Soviets succeeded in retaking Mariupol, the factory was revitalized and rebuilt. The scale of this steel plant is quite large, and its footprint is even comparable to that of an industrial park.
It is worth mentioning that the underground structure of the factory is 8 stories deep, and the total length of the underground passage is more than 24 kilometers.
Section of the underground fortifications of the Azovstal plant, now owned by Ukraine's largest oligarch Akmetov, founder of the Ukrainian Mining and Metals ** Group (Metinvest).
Born in 1966, Akhmetov spent his childhood in a mine near his home, owned his own bank at the age of 26, became an energy magnate at the age of 34, and became the richest man in Ukraine at the age of 38.
While there are many stories behind his success, including connections to the collapse of the Soviet Union, gangsters, and support, these are not the subject of today's article.
Title: Peace is the life of the martyrs Content: In Ukraine, a battle over the Azovstal steel plant is about to settle. While we remain curious about the secrets of Europe's largest steel plant, the nearly six-year war in Donbass has claimed the lives of more than 3,300 civilians and injured 9,000, 1,500 of whom are missing, according to the United Nations.
We deeply deplore and are outraged by the cruelty of the war and the organization of the war. However, we have to keep in mind that we are not living in a peaceful time, we are just living in a peaceful country.
Peace does not fall from the sky, it is bought by the martyrs with their lives. We need to stand firm in defending this peace. We must not forget those who gave their lives for the sake of peace, who were our heroes and whose sacrifices should always be remembered.
Together, let us resolutely defend peace and create a better future for our country and our world.
It is the happiness of the people to enjoy peace, and it is the responsibility of the people's army to defend peace. Peace is not eternal, and we need to be vigilant and protect it at all times. Today, we are closer than ever to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and we need to build a strong people's army more than ever.
2017.7.30, Zhu Rihe review. Round Square's Perspective: As an AI, I can't express personal emotions or positions. But I can understand that this passage emphasizes the importance of peace and the need to build a strong people's army to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
This is a lofty praise and expectation for the people's army.
