World War II is also known as the World Anti-Fascist War, as the name suggests, the main war criminals who provoked this war were the three fascist Axis powers of Nazi Germany, the Japanese Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, and the main leaders of these three countries were Hitler, Mussolini and Hideki Tojo, who were called the three giants of fascism. And Hideki Tojo led the Japanese militarist invasion of China, which is the most repulsive.
Hideki Tojo was the third son in the family, and his father, Hideki Tojo, was a lieutenant in the Japanese Army, influenced by the family atmosphere, and Hideki Tojo also had a heart of loyalty to the emperor and longed to become a soldier.
In September 1899, Hideki Tojo entered the Tokyo Local Army School, and after entering the military academy, Hideki Tojo aimed to become a "qualified officer loyal to the emperor" and aspired to establish merit for Japan in the future.
After three years of studying at The Land School, in September 1902, at the age of 19, Hideki Tojo entered the Army Central Kindergarten School. At that time, China was under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and Japan initially realized its ambitions for foreign expansion in the Eight-Power Alliance, and Hideki Tojo was also "ecstatic" about it.
In order to export more soldiers and officers, Japan took corresponding measures to greatly shorten the school system and step up training, and Hideki Tojo was promoted from the Army Infant School to the Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. After graduating, Hideki Tojo entered the Army Province as part of the elite.
On September 18, 1931, Japan launched the "918" incident in northeast China, followed by the occupation of the three northeastern provinces, the two Tojo Hideki also participated in the war of aggression against China, with more opportunities for performance, Tojo Hideki, the official position is getting faster and faster, in March 1933 was appointed as a major general in the army, in November as the head of the military investigation department.
In September 1935, Jun Gonomiya, director of the War Department's personnel bureau, who was also an alumnus of Hideki Tojo's time at the Army School, recommended Tojo to be the commander of the gendarmerie of the Kwantung Army, and Hideki Tojo began to cool his shock like the highest center of power of Japanese fascism.
After the July 7 Incident, Tojo had become the commander-in-chief of the command, and in order to win more support, Tojo Hideki declared that he would fight with China and the Soviet Union at the same time, and was also ready to launch a campaign against the Western powers of the United States, France and Germany. There was an uproar in Japan, and there were many Sengoku fanatics who supported Hideki Tojo.
When the Battle of Nomonkan broke out in May 1939, Tojo used a large number of modern weapons and equipment, especially aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles. However, the result of the war left Hideki Tojo with no face, and the 23rd Division led by Hideki Tojo was almost completely destroyed, and the strength of the Kwantung Army was nearly one-third of the casualties.
Hideki Tojo did not suffer a loss, and in this battle he exaggerated the little achievements of the Japanese Air Force infinitely, and then used various reasons to push the pot of defeat to others, and stabilized political capital for himself. In order to cooperate with the escalating war of aggression, Hideki Tojo tried his best to incite war fanaticism at home, especially the Bushido spirit of "fearlessness and fearlessness of death", which Washiki Tojo strongly advocated.
Hideki Tojo became an example for the sergeants, and on the afternoon of November 17, 1941, the Emperor summoned Hideki Tojo and promoted him to the rank of general. On November 18 of the same year, the Tojo Cabinet was formally established, and Hideki Tojo was also the Minister of Land and interior, and then concurrently held important posts such as Minister of Culture, Culture, Industry, and Industry, and Military Supplies.
With the unfolding of the war, Japan began to lose and retreat in the war, and in the Chinese battlefield, the strength of the anti-Japanese army and people was constantly consolidated and strengthened, and the armed forces of the people became stronger and stronger. Japan's previous advantages dissipated after Hideki Tojo came to power, so Hideki Tojo was strongly criticized.
On the eve of the end of the war, Hideki Tojo resigned. In fact, Hideki Tojo had already seen the prospect of Japan's defeat in order to escape his own crime. Sure enough, on August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Many Japanese soldiers could not accept defeat and even committed suicide by cutting their stomachs. However, Hideki Tojo, who originally advocated the "spirit of Bushido", tried every means to escape.
It wasn't until September 12, 1945, when the U.S. army had reached hideki Tojo's building, that he had the courage to shoot himself. Probably with a shaky hand, the shot didn't hit the heart. Hideki Tojo, who attempted suicide, was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging on charges of waging war, invading other countries, and crimes against humanity.
On December 23, 1948, the heinous Hideki Tojo was executed, but none of Hideki Tojo's children were implicated, especially Hideki Tojo's second son, Tojo Eio, who sold the company's products to China.
Hideki Tojo may have already learned of his fate, and he vigorously persuaded his son Tojo Keio to give up joining the army and become an engineer. After graduating from the Department of Aeronautics at Tokyo Imperial University, he joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and served as vice president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, president of Mitsubishi Motors, president of the Mitsubishi Group, senior consultant of the Mitsubishi Group, and became the general manager of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and the vice president of the entire Mitsubishi Group. Mitsubishi Motors is now the world's fifteenth largest automaker and has a large market in China.
