Chapter 276: Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace


Since Chen Tian created the flour bombing case, killing and injuring most of the Japanese lawyers, he has disappeared and lurked.

Put on Japanese clothes, speak pure Japanese learned from the Japanese who invaded Shanghai, and blend in among the Japanese.

If someone hadn't paid special attention to him, he wouldn't have noticed that such a person existed in Japan.

Chen Tian lurked for a long time just to succeed with one blow.

The Japanese kidnapped by Chen Tian was Prince Asaka Palace Hatohiko, the uncle of the current Japanese Emperor Showa and the eighth son of Prince Kuaromiya.

Although this person will not be famous in later generations, and is not on the list of Class-A war criminals today, his crimes are no less than those of Class-A war criminals and the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Matsui Iwane.

Moreover, this person is also one of the main executors of the Golden Lily Plan.

Knows many secrets that no one except the Japanese royal family would know.

Asaka Miya Hatohiko graduated from the 20th class of the Japanese Army Sergeant School on May 27, 1908.

In the same year, he was awarded the rank of infantry second lieutenant and became the deputy of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Royal Guards Division.

He is a rare professional soldier among the Japanese royal family.

He even once supported the Imperial Dao Sect.

However, although Asaka Miyakohiko supported the Emperor's faction, the rebellion of the Emperor's faction was eventually suppressed.

However, because he was a member of the royal family, he was not punished too severely.

Instead, because of his extreme approval and support for Japan's external expansion and his rare proficiency in military affairs, he was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

On December 2, 1937, Asaka Gong Jiuyan was appointed commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.

At this time, Asaka Miyakohiko, although he did not have a very dazzling resume in the army, compared with his younger brother Asaka Miyakohiko who once served as a field force commander, his appointment as the head of the Guards Division was not worth mentioning at all.

However, he also had the rank of lieutenant general.

As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Chaoxiang Gong Jiuyan immediately showed his cruelty and ruthlessness.

On December 7, 1937, Chaoxiang Gong Jiuyan arrived in Nanjing.

Disintegrated due to lung disease, Matsui Iwane, commander-in-chief of the Central China Front of the Japanese invaders in Liaoyang, became the temporary commander-in-chief of Japan's capture of Nanjing.

On December 10, 1937, Asaka Gong Jiuyan ordered an attack on Nanjing.

Although the tactics and strategies were decided in advance based on intelligence, Asaka Palace Hatohiko didn't have much room to play.

However, as a royal prince, being able to resist meddling indiscriminately shows his military qualities.

Three days after the Japanese attack, 1937.

On December 13, the city of Nanjing fell.

This speed was even beyond the expectations of the Japanese.

On December 17, 1937, the Japanese held a grand entry ceremony for the Japanese commanders headed by Matsui Iwane and Asaka Miyakohiko.

Subsequently, the Asahi Shimbun in Tokyo, Japan, reported that the imperial commander of the three armies in the Nanjing War was in awe and inspected under the Chaoxiang Palace.

The soldiers on the Nanjing front were crying and the famous horses at the gates of Nanjing were not neighing.

Now that the father's palace has entered the city, the emperor Zhanzi of Chaoxiang Palace, Yu Xie, and other stinky and long flattery articles have made great contributions to Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace.

Also published are large photos taken by Japanese reporters in Nanjing.

However, Asaka Palace Kituhiko did not only enter the city in Nanjing.

When Chao Xiang Gong Jiuyan entered Nanjing City.

After obtaining comparative data on the number of Chinese and Japanese in Nanjing, he issued a secret order to be burned after reading and kill them all.

After the Japanese entered Nanjing, they carried out crazy plunder and massacre.

It is to exterminate the Chinese bloodline and plunder wealth.

However, from a military perspective.

Although most of the troops in Nanjing City had no fighting spirit, the population of young and middle-aged people was far larger than the Japanese army that entered Nanjing City.

If the old, weak, women and children are included, the Chinese population far exceeds the number of Japanese troops entering Nanjing.

There are so many people, but if anyone raises his arms and counterattacks the Japanese, the Japanese will get out of here.

Therefore, in order to consolidate the results obtained and to follow their own nature, the Japanese began to kill on a large scale.

The person who revealed this secret order was Tanaka Takayoshi, who was later known as the "Judas of Japan".

Tanaka Takayoshi has been active in China since 1927.

In 1930, Tanaka Takayoshi cooperated with Kawashima Yoshiko to create the 128th Incident in Shanghai.

And, because of his contribution in the 128th Incident, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Subsequently, in 1935, Tanaka Takayoshi was transferred to the General Staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army and became the intelligence staff officer and the head of the Japanese secret service.

He is a world-famous spy.

Later, the Zhang Gufeng incident was involved.

As a result, the Japanese plan failed in the Zhang Gufeng incident.

Tanaka Takayoshi was transferred back to the Ministry of War of Japan and became the director of the Military Affairs Section of the Military Affairs Bureau.

Because of his close relationship with the Japanese military police, he became Tojo Hideki's confidant.

However, Tanaka Takayoshi was in bad luck because he expressed opposition to Tojo Hideki's radical military speculation.

He was sent to the Army Hospital in Kokufudai by Hide Tojo on the grounds that Tanaka Takayoshi had a mental problem.

However, Tanaka Takayoshi's research on China was far more in-depth than Tojo's.

What he always agreed with was Kanji Ishihara's plan to divide and devour China, rather than Hideki Tojo's radical plan to start war with China, the Soviet Union, Britain, France and the United States at the same time.

After being sent to a mental hospital by Hideki Tojo, Tanaka Takayoshi hated the Japanese upper class headed by Hideki Tojo.

After Japan's defeat, Tanaka Takayoshi was released from the mental hospital.

Subsequently, in 1946, he wrote a book titled Analyzing the Causes of Failure.

Exposing a lot of internal information about the Japanese Army that is unknown to outsiders.

Americans welcomed this extremely well.

Subsequently, Tanaka Takayoshi became a key witness against Japan's Class A war crimes.

As Tanaka Takayoshi, who has been in the intelligence community for a long time, all kinds of information are clearly remembered by his superior memory.

Tanaka Takayoshi knows most of the information that the Americans want.

Moreover, what Americans hate most is a group of Japanese war criminals headed by Tojo Hideki.

As long as people are relatively close to Tojo Hideki, most of them will not end well.

However, most of the Japanese upper class who were badly offended by Tojo Hideki lived a happy life.

If it were not for the great influence of Kanji Ishihara and Takayoshi Tanaka, these two political opponents of Tojo Hideki would not even be considered Japanese Class A war criminals.

At least Americans have no hatred for these two men.

Tanaka Takayoshi also lived up to the expectations of the Americans and released some blockbuster intelligence news one after another.

For example, “The masterminds of the Manchuria Incident were Major General Miji Takekawa, Chief of the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Hashimoto Kingoro, the Russian squad leader of the Intelligence Department, Captain Changyong of the China Squad, Colonel Seishiro Itagaki, the senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant Colonel Kanji Ishihara, the operational staff officer, and Okawa Dr.

Zhou Ming.”

"On November 29, 1941, Director Muto responded to the ultimatum issued by the US Secretary of State Hull four days earlier.

If he accepted the ultimatum, Japan would suffer chronic poverty.

It would definitely perish and it would not be possible without fighting.

The war started on December 8 On the same day, when listening to Prime Minister Tojo's instructions, Director Muto said that Prime Minister Tojo had become a hero; at the director's meeting on December 9 the next day, Muto spoke about sending Ambassador Kurusu and the Tatsuta Maru hospitality ship to the United States to start a war.

Best cover ever.”

As a result, the Huanggutun incident where the Japanese assassinated Zhang Zuolin was also proved by the testimony of Tanaka Takayoshi.

Such a Class-A war criminal who hated Tojo Hideki and all Class-A war criminals so deeply made the Japanese so angry that Ichiro Kiyose of the Japanese legal team once roared at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East: "I just ask Just tell me, are you Japanese or not?”

Tanaka Takayoshi remained unmoved.

Eyes of disdain.

He knew that he would live well, while Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro and others were dead.

And the Americans did protect Tanaka Takayoshi.

When the Japanese lawyer team asked Joseph Ji Nandao: "Did the prosecutor team give any promise to Major General Tanaka, or bribed Tanaka?"

"No, the inspection team did not give Major General Tanaka any promise, nor did they give Tanaka a penny."

The Japanese lawyer asked: "Are you saying that Major General Tanaka has freedom of choice?"

Joseph Jinan replied easily and proudly: "Of course, Major General Tanaka has complete freedom of choice."

"Then why did he take the initiative to provide information to the inspection team?"

"Oh, according to the orders of the Allied Forces Headquarters, Major General Tanaka's actions were legal actions."

The Japanese were so angry that they vomited blood, but Tanaka Takayoshi has been under the protection of the Americans.

He lived until 1972.

In this case, Tanaka Takayoshi's testimony is very credible.

He had no reason to deliberately slander Asaka Palace Kituhiko.

So, basically sure.

The order "Kill them all" came from Asaka Palace Kituhiko.

After the occupation of Nanjing, the commander of the 16th Division, who served as the commander of the Nanjing garrison, had Nakajima Kongo who had a killing contest under his command.

He also recorded in his diary: "Since the policy is to take no prisoners at all, we decided to drive them to a corner and deal with them all."

Akira Muto also wrote in his posthumous works: "General Matsui did not command the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and the Tenth Army.

At that time, the commanders of the two armies commanded his subordinates.

General Matsui only temporarily unified command of operations from above.

Therefore, The commanders of both armies should take full responsibility for the issue of prohibition of military discipline among their subordinates.

As the superior commander, General Matsui should only be responsible for combat command."

The target is pointed at Asaka Palace Jiuyan.

Of course, the massacre of Asaka Gong Jiuyan was just one of the methods.

During the massacre, he began to send people to plunder a large number of Chinese cultural relics.

Millions of ancient Chinese books, countless Chinese cultural relics, and a large amount of gold and jewelry in Nanjing were looted by this person.

In order to collect as much wealth as possible in Nanjing, Asaka Miyakohiko even instructed Akira Muto, the deputy chief of staff of the Central China Front Army who was responsible for the arrangements for Japanese troops to camp in the Nanjing area, to modify the order for Japanese troops to camp outside Nanjing, announcing that Japanese troops could choose to do so within Nanjing.

Campsite.

It was almost a thinly veiled robbery order.

In this regard, the Japanese can justifiably open any gate in Nanjing without violating military laws and take whatever is behind the gate as their own.

After the looting, the Japanese dismantled the Shanghai Expeditionary Force.

Asaka Miya Hatohiko returned to Japan with a large amount of wealth.

Subsequently, the fortune plundered from China ended up nowhere.

Due to the agreement between the Americans and the Japanese, the Americans excluded relatives of the Japanese royal family when determining the list of Class A war criminals.

Therefore, Asaka Miya Hatohiko is not on Japan’s list of Class-A war criminals.

The biggest punishment they received was that in 1947, in order to restrain the Japanese Emperor and punish their royal family members, the Americans revoked their imperial status for a large number of Japanese royal family members, and they were no longer of royal blood.

And Asaka Palace Jiuyan was naturally among them.

Although Asaka Palace Kituhiko was deprived of his imperial status, he could be interrogated and detained as a war criminal.

However, on March 4, 1948, when American Colonel Moro visited Sugamo Prison in Sugamo Prison, he asked Matsui Iwane: " The outside world is now saying that the Chaoxiang Palace in Nanjing has a heavy responsibility, but because he is a member of the royal family, he is not being held accountable at this time.

What do you think?"

However, Matsui Iwane replied: "Asaka Palace took over as commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force only ten days before the Japanese army invaded Nanjing.

He is not responsible for this matter."

Such an answer can be regarded as saving Asaka Palace Hatuhiko.

According to historical development, Asaka Palace Kituhiko lived happily ever after, playing golf in his spare time, until his death at the age of ninety-four.

However, there is the rest of this life.

Naturally, Asaka Gong Jiuyan can't let Asaka Palace live like this for the rest of his life.

After the Americans paid attention to Asaka Miyakohiko, Chen Tian kidnapped him back to a secret place he ran in Tokyo.

A few days later, Chen Tian interrogated Asaka Palace Jiuyan on all the secrets he knew, and gave this war criminal who had escaped the trial of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East a happy ending because of his identity.

Meanwhile, the Japanese royal family was in chaos.

Although Asaka Palace Kituhiko has now removed his imperial status, no one will regard him as someone other than the royal family.

The disappearance of Asaka Palace Hatohiko has made all members of the Japanese royal family who have been removed from the imperial status feel at risk.

I am afraid that I will be the next one to disappear.

The Americans were also very annoyed.

After all, this was happening on their own territory.

I have promised my younger brother something, but failed to do it.

Now being questioned by my younger brother, it hurts the boss's face very much.

And so began a search across Japan.

Even at his home for the rest of his life, American soldiers visited him.

Lucy, who was accompanying Qing Xiaoyi, was called back for questioning many times.

Only then was the rest of his life cleared of suspicion.

After all, Americans know that it is not the Americans who hate the Japanese the most, but the Chinese.

Yu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he and Chen Tian only met in secret and did not go to the place where Chen Tian hid Asaka Palace Hatohiko to see for himself what this Japanese royal family, who was even more ruthless than Matsui Iwane, was like. look.

Otherwise, once the whereabouts are leaked, Americans will inevitably become suspicious
