In 1948, in Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, Hideki Tojo was eating the last meal of his life before he was hanged, although out of humanitarianism, the U.S. military prepared a good "severed head meal" for him, but he didn't have much appetite, and he never smoked, and smoked a cigarette.
Hideki Tojo is as famous as Hitler, not because of their ability and reputation, but because of the crimes of both of them.
In their fascist war, Hideki Tojo played an equal role with Hitler, the difference is that those who were deeply poisoned by the fascist war regarded Hitler as an enemy, while the Germans regarded Hitler as a hero.
On the other hand, while Tojo Hideki poisoned the world and attracted the hatred of the people of the world, he was also hated by the Japanese, and countless Japanese wanted to kill Tojo Hideki as soon as possible.
And these situations are all Tojo Hideki's own fault, he is a real devil, a cruel executioner, his butcher knife does not discriminately attack anyone, whether it is Japan or people from other countries, as long as it obstructs his path Tojo Hideki, he will be directly killed by him.
In 1935, Hideki Tojo served as the commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, at this time, Japan used Puyi to establish a new puppet Manchu government, trying to play the "coercion of heaven to order the princes".
But the Japanese forgot that they were invaders, not vassals, and the Chinese would not recognize the Son of Heaven they had raised. And at this time, the feudal dynasty has been overthrown for many years, and China's spirit and will are awakening, how can it be bound to a so-called "puppet Manchurian" son of heaven.
Hideki Tojo mainly did two things in the Northeast, and it was these two things that implemented his name of "Razor Tojo".
The first thing was that Tojo Hideki carried out a bloody suppression of the northeastern Chinese who resisted them, constantly arresting Chinese in the northeast land, and every day due to Tojo Hideki's orders, countless Chinese died under the guns of the Japanese.
The second thing is that Hideki Tojo closely monitored the Japanese soldiers in order to "prevent redness", especially those Japanese officers whose political views were different from his were basically closely monitored by him.
As long as these Japan officers were slightly unconvinced by him, or had other intentions, they were arrested and massacred by Hideki Tojo.
According to later statistics, Hideki Tojo directly arrested more than 2,000 Japan officers and civilians within three months of taking office.
As for how many Japanese were killed as a result of the capture, there are no actual statistics, because this matter is not limited to Japanese in Tohoku, but even Japanese in Japan itself.
And all this is just the beginning of Hideki Tojo, and his days are either spent in arrest or killing.
So much so that whether it is Chinese or Japanese, there are countless people who want to kill Hideki Tojo.
In order to protect his personal safety, Hideki Tojo installed countless Japan spies around his mansion, and even his daughter went to school under heavy escort, for fear of the slightest accident.
Despite such tight protection, the slogan "Bury Tojo" appeared frequently on the streets of "Shinkyo", even though Hideki Tojo kept arresting him.
In China, Hideki Tojo's crimes are difficult to write, and Chinese who have experienced that era, with their eyes closed, can write hundreds of Hideki Tojo's crimes.
To the world, Hideki Tojo is the root of fascist evil, and such a person should be spurned and sanctioned by the world.
In Japan, although Hideki Tojo was a subordinate of the emperor, the Japanese who wanted to kill him were basically uncountable.
Hideki Tojo, who is so notorious and has committed many crimes, naturally has to receive the due sanctions after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
In 1948, after being tried by various countries, Hideki Tojo was sentenced to death by hanging, and when the news came out, the world rejoiced and the people of Japan were excited, which was really the most exciting thing of the year.
After the trial, the Japan side was still reluctant and tried to appeal the outcome of the trial, hoping that the trial could be reopened.
The place where the complaint was Japan filed was the Supreme Court of United States, but Japan forget that the trial of Hideki Tojo was a joint trial of the people of the world, not a separate trial of the United States.
As a result, Japan's complaint was quickly rejected by the United States court, which said that the United States court had no jurisdiction to accept such an "appeal."
At this point, there was no longer any controversy about Tojo Hideki's hanging, and he no longer had the opportunity to debate, so he could only accept the judgment of fate.
After the trial, Hideki Tojo was imprisoned in Sugamo Prison in Tokyo, where the guards were all United States soldiers, and he had no chance of escaping.
The night before his execution, Hideki Tojo offered to eat Japan food, and out of humanitarianism, the United States prepared a sumptuous "severed head meal" and handed him a cigarette.
Hideki Tojo had never smoked, but before he died, he asked United States soldiers to help light the cigarette and smoke two puffs.
With the smoke, Hideki Tojo was soon sent to the gallows, and under the order of the executive officer, Hideki Tojo, who had committed an unpardonable crime, ended his life in pain.
No one will have pity on him, and even though he dies, the world will not forgive him.
