Reborn South Africa as a police officer

When the Southern African Expeditionary Force fought against the Japanese army, there were no psychological barriers.

What kind of international law, what kind of Red Cross Convention, basically does not exist in this land of East Asia. Did the Japanese army abide by international law and the Red Cross Convention when fighting?

Absolutely not!

That simply doesn't exist.

According to the data of the Japanese army in the battle of Shimonoseki, the equivalent of three divisions were stationed by the Japanese army. Taking the Japanese army establishment in 1945 as an example, it was about 4 people.

In fact, there are not so many. In the current Japanese army, each division is not full of formation. Many new divisions have only a few thousand people, and the garrison troops of the three divisions are only 2 at most.

"Yes, that is 2 people. We only wiped out [-] Japanese troops in Xiaguan. If there are more, then it can only be judged as fleeing. The Japanese will to fight——ah ha ha ha ha——" MacArthur accepted He was in a good mood when interviewed by the media, and he would not let go of any opportunity to be interviewed by the media.

The failure of last year's election did not make MacArthur completely give up. He is going to continue to run for the election four years later. All publicity opportunities are very important to MacArthur.

As early as 1943, certain Republican politicians had intentionally invited MacArthur to run for election.

MacArthur was very interested in the presidency, and he also knew that the opportunity was rare. If it weren't for Roosevelt's unshakable reputation, MacArthur would never get the chance to represent the Republican Party.

The reality gave MacArthur a heavy blow. He did not get the chance to represent the Republican Party in the election, and he even failed to win the primary election within the Republican Party.

MacArthur did not openly admit his failure as the Americans advocated, but in order to maintain his image, he made a public statement that he had no intention of participating in the presidential election.

hypocritical!

Through last year's election, MacArthur fully realized Roosevelt's strength.

It can be said that as long as Roosevelt continues to run for election, others basically have no chance.

Until Roosevelt's death, MacArthur realized again that his chance had come again.

"Japan is a backward feudal country with many problems in politics, economy, and culture. If we want to eliminate the threat of war, we must modernize Japan. This will be our most important task next." MacArthur Ready to use Japan as his biggest bargaining chip.

After losing the election last year, MacArthur and his campaign team summed up their experience and believed that the lack of sufficient governing experience was MacArthur's biggest problem.

As a soldier, MacArthur's image in the minds of the American public is undoubtedly successful.

As a statesman or politician, MacArthur made few achievements. His performance as the governor of the Philippines not only failed to add points to MacArthur, but became the most effective weapon for his opponents to attack MacArthur.

You can't even manage the Philippines well, not to mention the economy is in a mess, and the military has also suffered a complete defeat in the Japanese attack. How can such a person lead the United States to move forward——

So MacArthur is now eager to prove that he not only has the ability to regain lost ground, but also has the ability to manage a country.

Japan is MacArthur's touchstone.

Of course, all of this cannot be achieved without the cooperation of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

When the expeditionary force landed in Xiaguan, Lion City was preparing for a trial against war criminals.

The reason is also very simple.

After the Malay campaign and the Philippine campaign, more than 40 Japanese officers and soldiers were captured, many of whom reached the level of war criminals and were not eligible for reeducation through labor, and must be publicly and severely punished.

On this issue, MacArthur and Angie had another disagreement.

An Qi's attitude is very clear. Instead of letting these war criminals waste food in prison, it is better to hang them publicly. This can not only boost morale, but also form a huge deterrent to the recalcitrant forces in the Japanese government.

The Allied Forces have confirmed that there are huge differences within Japan, and some people are trying to get in touch with the Allied Forces in different ways to end the war in a relatively decent way.

Another part of the diehards are stubborn. They tried to threaten the Allied forces with "[-] million pieces of jade" to obtain and after the end of World War I, similar to Germany's handling.

This is just ridiculous.

It probably means that if you don't let me go, I will die for you!
The only negotiation result An Qi could accept was an unconditional surrender without giving the Japanese any chance to raise conditions.

MacArthur didn't think so. He believed that in order to transform Japan, the Japanese upper class should pay enough attention to it. Only in this way could the cooperation of the Japanese government be obtained, which would be more conducive to the rule of the Allied forces over Japan.

"What we need is peace, not a hateful Japan. Publicly dealing with war criminals will lead to worse consequences. We should let the Japanese see opportunities, especially those war criminals who know they have committed serious crimes. We must let them understand that the only way to deal with war criminals is to take action." Cooperation is the only way to survive." MacArthur really put his heart into it, and he designed a special structure for Japan with reference to the United States and Britain.

In MacArthur's vision, Japan should retain the royal family after the war, so as to eliminate the resistance of the Japanese to the greatest extent.

At the same time, the political status of the royal family was reduced, the Japanese Shinto system was gradually abolished, and the emperor was promoted to become an adult from the gods, so as to minimize the influence of the royal family on the Japanese people.

In order to win the cooperation of the Japanese government, MacArthur did not even want to publicly punish war criminals.

Speaking of how to deal with the royal family, Angie is still in the mood to discuss with MacArthur.

But when it comes to dealing with war criminals, An Qi will not compromise at all.

In the list made by An Qi, there are as many as 5700 war criminals who will be publicly executed this time alone, including almost all captured officers.

"If we do this, we will completely lose the opportunity to cooperate with the Japanese government." MacArthur strongly disagreed. In his plan, the cooperation of these officers is very important.

Japan's military officer system is similar to that of the Junker nobles in Germany during World War I. Most of the officers are the children of the nobles.

In the First World War, the Junker nobles suffered heavy losses, and almost their entire army was wiped out, and they have never recovered from it.

Japan was a victorious country in World War I, and the aristocratic system was not only not hit, but also became larger and larger. This group is also the main beneficiary of Japan's foreign wars.

Like MacArthur, Angie wanted to transform Japan.

The difference is that MacArthur's plan is to cooperate with the Japanese aristocracy to proceed more moderately.

The biggest problem with this method is that it is not thorough, and the Japanese aristocrats cannot be thoroughly punished, so that they will not reflect deeply and plant the seeds of disaster for the recovery of militarism in the future.

Angie's method is a complete liquidation. In order to achieve this goal, even if all the "Junker nobles" in Japan are hanged, they will not hesitate.

"Is there any need for the current Japanese government to be preserved?" Angie said ruthlessly.

Transformation?
Change your sister!
Hang all those war criminals first, and if they still don’t cooperate, then continue to hang them. There are tens of millions of Japanese, and they can always find a suitable spokesperson.

"Ann, on the issue of dealing with Japan, we must consider the threat of Russia—" MacArthur worried that the Allied forces would be too aggressive and would force Japan to the Russian side.

The Allied forces are advancing triumphantly in Europe. At present, the eastern and western fronts have all invaded the territory of Germany. Judging from the current situation, Germany will definitely be divided in the future and ruled by dividing land.

The same is true for Japan. If the Allied Forces cannot end the war as quickly as possible, then the situation will be hard to say when the Russians end the battle in Europe and return to East Asia.

Now Russia has not given up the so-called "Japan-Russia Non-Aggression Treaty", and the meaning is also very obvious. It will not put any pressure on Japan, so that Japan can fight against the southern allies without distraction.

If the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the U.S. Army land in Tokyo today, the Russians will launch an offensive in the Far East tomorrow.

"How do you think about transforming Japan into a bridgehead against Russia?" Angie didn't want to compete for the prime minister of southern Africa, and she had nothing to desire in politics.

"Don't you realize the threat of Russia? Russia is not Germany and Japan, and has the ability to pose a real threat to us." MacArthur's basic sensitivity is still there.

The situation of Germany and Japan is similar. The land area is small, lack of resources and strategic depth, population is also insufficient, and the war capability is actually very limited.

Russia is different. In a country of 2000 million square kilometers, with a peak population of nearly [-] million people, plus weather and geographical bonuses, it is almost invincible.

Why do Europe and the United States in another time and space shout loudly, but dare not actually start a war with Russia?
Because no country can afford the consequences of fighting Russia.

As far as Britain and Germany are concerned, to put it bluntly, if a bunch of nuclear bombs are dropped, the entire country will be destroyed. Russia has this capability.

Russia's more than 2000 million square kilometers is only the ground part. I don't know how many underground nuclear defense fortifications. As long as all of Russia's counterattack capabilities cannot be destroyed immediately, then wait to accept the punishment of the northern giant bear.

"It's just a threat. After six years of war, do you think it's possible to go on to a third war in a short period of time?" An Qi is not unaware of the threat from Russia. There is always a priority for things, and you can't give up because of choking.

In order to deal with the potential threat of Russia, do not punish Japanese war criminals?

What a joke, even if An Qi compromises, the Chinese in southern Africa will not agree.

The fundamental reason why MacArthur launched his so-called "reform plan" is that Japan did not cause irreparable damage to the United States. If Japan also invaded the United States, it would hit Washington, blow up the White House, and massacre 3000 million Americans. , See if MacArthur dares to transform Japan with his own will?
If the above-mentioned incident happened, as long as MacArthur dared to say the word "reform", he would be immediately swallowed up by raging public opinion.

And running for president.

At that time, MacArthur will be the biggest traitor in American history.

"If you insist, then I hope you can narrow down the list and only punish the main war criminals, and the method should not be too cruel." Shoot it?

"They're all war criminals already, so what's the primary and secondary?" Angie disagreed with MacArthur's division, and green hats are still divided into dark green and light green?

"If you insist, I reserve my opinion." MacArthur left a way out for himself. When the Japanese overturned the case, MacArthur could shift all responsibility to the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

"You can keep it, this is your right—" Angie was very disappointed with MacArthur, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Campaigning requires approval ratings. As the commander-in-chief of the US Pacific Theater, MacArthur's largest base is the more than 200 million US troops who are fighting in the Pacific region.

In terms of shaping his personal image, MacArthur was successful, especially his sentence "I will come back", which is simply a model of a Jedi comeback. Many American soldiers don't know the story behind this sentence, nor do they know that MacArthur is in order to protect war criminals. , made those efforts.

Like the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the US military also has a military club in the Lion City. In their spare time, many American soldiers will go to the club for entertainment and relaxation.

"Have you heard? The headquarters will conduct a public trial of the captured Japanese war criminals, and then all of them will be publicly executed. It is said that there are thousands of people on the list to be executed—" Second Lieutenant Kenneth, who is on vacation, is well informed. Work at the US Army Office in Lion City.

"Why?" Lieutenant Taylor from Manila, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, looked somber.

After the Battle of the Philippines, the surviving U.S.-Philippine coalition forces were rescued. Of the nearly 8 people who surrendered at the beginning, only less than 4 remained.

"Because it is to deter the Japanese and prompt Japan to surrender at an early date—" Second Lieutenant Kenneth shared willingly.

"No, no, no, I mean, we captured 40 Japanese, why are only a few thousand people on the list?" Lieutenant Taylor was angry not because the list was too long, but because it was too short.

"How much do you hope?" Second Lieutenant Kenneth was not very clear about Lieutenant Taylor's experience.

"All! I hope it is all! Regardless of whether they are on the damn list, or whether they are soldiers or not, all Japanese should be damned, and they should be driven into the Pacific Ocean to drown." Lieutenant Taylor recalled what happened in the prisoner-of-war camp. I can't wait to kill all the Japanese.

"Calm down Taylor, you know that's impossible." The familiar officer advised Taylor to calm down, killing all the Japanese is unrealistic.

"I can't calm down. When Bataan surrendered, there were 90 people left in my company and I. When we arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp, there were only 37 people left in the whole company. After another three months, there were only 11 people left. , In the end, I was the only one who walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp alive—how do you let me calm down? Unless my brothers come back alive—” Taylor’s eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling.

"Taylor, we have avenged you—" Captain Xu Zhi from the Southern African Expeditionary Force patted Taylor on the shoulder. The Japanese created the Bataan Death March. How could the Southern African Expeditionary Force let the POW camp The Japanese here are better off.
