① After the Opium War of 1842, China (Qing) continued to trade opium with Britain (Indian opium), the United States (Turkish opium), and France (Indochina opium). The United States has made huge fortunes from this. For example, the media such as NY Times in the United States and famous universities such as Yale University could be established. ② Chiang Kai-shek. Mrs. Soong Mei-ling was the daughter of the Zhejiang conglomerate (the third daughter, the second daughter, Mrs. Sun Yat-sen), and supported wealthy people and wealthy citizens. In January 1924, the First United Front was established under the guidance of the Communist International. Chiang Kai-shek found that the true purpose of the Communist Party in the First United Front was to infiltrate the Communist Party members inside the Kuomintang and defeat the Kuomintang from inside. He said, "The Japanese army is like a skin disease. However, the Communist Party is a heart disease. " (So-called, Chinese Civil War, 1927 to 1937) The Kuomintang received military support from Nazi Germany (from May 1933), possessed modern weapons, and received modern military training. Since Germany cannot manufacture weapons domestically, it is manufactured in the Czech Republic and exported to China (manufacturing costs are an investment from Wall Street in the United States). ③Mao Zedong-The Communist Party is a group like the Mafia and the gangsters, and since it does not have modern weapons, it did terrorism and spying (for example, the Second Shanghai Incident that was triggered by Zhang Zhizhong in August 1937). Under the direction of the Communist International (that is, the Soviet Union), he engaged in activities to engage Japan and the Kuomintang, and to expand anti-Japanese sentiment in China. Because The Chinese Communist Party was defeated by the Kuomintang, it abandoned Ruijin in Jiangxi Province and fled to Yan'an in Shaanxi Province (Long March, 1934 to 1936). ④ Soviet Union. There were enemy nations, Germany and Japan, on both sides of the country, and he was afraid that he would be caught and shot. He instructed the Mao Zedong Communist Party to "Fight the Japanese army and the Kuomintang Army and separate the Japanese army from the Soviet Union." In the Xi'an Incident (December 1936), Chang Hsueh-li caught Chiang Kai-shek. Zhou Enlai acted as an intermediary, the representative of the Chinese Communist Party, who received a command from the Communist International, and instructed Chang Hsueh-li and others to fight the Japanese army in collaboration with the Communist Party instead of killing the captured Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong Mei-ling, acted as a negotiator and agreed to the proposal (So-called, Second United Front). As a result, members of the Communist Party entered the Kuomintang, expanded anti-Japanese sentiment, created an opportunity for a battle between Japan and the Kuomintang, and spy on the front. The Marco Polo Bridge Incident (July 1937), which started the Sino-Japanese War, is said to be the work of a Communist Party spy. Even though it was a second United Front, the Chinese Communist Party itself retreated to the mountains (Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, close to the Soviet Union) and preserved its power by educating members of the Communist Party and agriculture such as leaf tobacco cultivation. The Chinese Communist Party has not had a head-on collision with the Japanese army. ⑤ At the same time, in Japan, Asahi Shimbun reporter Hotsumi Ozaki and other Comintern spies started the Sino-Japanese War. For example, in the case of Hotsumi Ozaki, he developed a hard-line argument against China and a forecast of the war situation on the Asahi Shimbun. He was informed by spies from Europe, the United States, China, and the Soviet Union, so the prediction of the war situation was correct. So he was selected as the brain of the Konoe Cabinet because of the accuracy of his prediction and became a member of the breakfast party. The information on the Japanese government and the military obtained at this breakfast party was lost to the Communist International. ⑥ Richard Sorge. A Communist spy (German, German embassy staff in Japan) who contacted Hotsumi Ozaki and others. He entered and exited the German Embassy in Japan as a self-proclaimed newspaper correspondent and became an embassy member. In order to separate Japan from the Soviet Union, he worked to move the Japanese troops south and gathered information on the start of the German-Soviet war. As he sent information to the Soviet Union that Japan would reduce troops near the Soviet border, Soviet troops deployed Far Eastern troops to the Moscow defense to prepare for the battle with Germany. The United States was supporting the Soviet Union. Japan's southward advance developed into a confrontation with the United States and Britain. He is a spy that Russian Putin respects. ⑦ Nanjing (civilian massacre) case. Since Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang was provided with Nazi Germany's weapons and military training, Japan signed with Germany to stop Germany's support for the Kuomintang. (⇒ John Rabe, a witness to the so-called Nanjing Massacre, is a Siemens employee and pleads with Hitler that "Japan is cruel, so I want you to continue exporting weapons." Chiang Kai-shek want US President Roosevelt to help POOR CHINA because Japanese troops are doing violent acts in mainland China. His wife, Song Mi-age, made a similar plea in a lecture in the United States. That is, the so-called Nanjing Massacre (December 1937). an advertisement for POOR CHINA SUPPORT REQUEST) ⑧ Other poor china plans (plans to advertise in the United States and appeal for China's support = "Japanese troops are cruel") ・ Destruction of the Yellow River embankment by Chiang Kai-shek (June 1938, hundreds of thousands of victims) Chiang Kai-shek tried to make it the work of the Japanese army, but it was discovered by a European newspaper reporter. Japanese troops rescued and fed Chinese refugees, and assisted in the restoration of the Yellow River embankment. ・Destruction of the Yangtze River embankment by Chiang Kai-shek (September 1938) ・Arson of Changsha (a city with a population of 500,000) by Chiang Kai-shek (midnight, November 1938) It is said to stop the advance of the Japanese army. ・ Chongqing bombing (December 1938-September 1941) Chiang Kai-shek built a military factory in the basement of the city, and the Japanese army bombed the factory. International law distinguishes between military and private facilities and prohibits bombing of private facilities, but in this case, the US media dispatched to Chongqing did not matter. ⑨ US President Roosevelt tried to make up for the failure of the New Deal policy with trade with China (he was a Chinese enthusiast because his ancestors made huge fortunes in the opium trade) → Manchuria is exclusively for opium. Initially, US President Roosevelt supported China in the form of volunteers called AVG (American Volunteer Group). ⑩ On July 23, 1941, the president signed a bombing plan for the mainland of Japan called JB.NO.355. ⇒ It was planned to depart from Singapore base in November, but because France lost to Germany, the bomber was sent to the European front in order not to isolate Britain. July 25, 1941 Freezing of Japanese assets in the United States July 28, Japanese troops stationed in Southern French Indochina August 1st, oil exports to Japan were totally banned Attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 ⑪ Tokyo Tribunal. For the United States, it was a problem whether the United States had obeyed international law. For example, during the Nanjing case (1937.12) and the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan obeyed international law and did not bomb private facilities, hospital ships, etc. The United States carried out civilian attacks ignoring international law, such as urban bombing in Japan (dropping atomic bombs, indiscriminate bombing), attacks on Japanese hospital ships, and shootings on farmers from airplanes. Therefore, even if he wins the war, he is worried that he will lose the trial, and he brought up the story of "Nanjing (civilian) massacre" to overcome this situation. The Chongqing bombing was a bombing of a military facility and was not brought to the Tokyo Tribunal.
