Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2600 Reluctant to Kill
Paid work in the 21st century is a joke, but it was not during World War II, especially for the Axis countries such as Italy and Hungary, if they are given a chance to change their camp now, they are willing to pay no matter how much it costs them.

Although France has stopped resisting, with the support of Charles de Gaulle's Free France and southern Africa, France can still be counted in the Allied camp, thus becoming a victorious country, and has the opportunity to participate in sharing the fruits of victory.

Although the whole of Europe has been smashed into pieces, and there are not many fruits of victory to share, it is enough for the French to rejoice that they can keep their overseas colonies.

Germany, which lost World War I, lost all its overseas colonies, so Germany was so difficult in the period before Mustache came to power.

If Germany still had overseas colonies at that time, even a tearful sale would be enough for Germany to survive the most difficult stage.

During the two world wars, the most correct thing Australia did was to hug the thighs of southern Africa, so providing labor for free is not a thing at all.

As for the Americans, go and stay where you are cool.

The news that there will be a public trial of the prisoners of war is not a secret. The Australian officers and soldiers guarding the Japanese prisoners of war will also discuss this issue during their work. The focus is on the list in An Qi's hand.

5700 people are not a small number, including most of the captured officers.

The influence of Japanese military officers in the Japanese army is still very great, so that Australians manage the prisoner-of-war camps, but also rely on the cooperation of some Japanese military officers. Many low-level positions in the prisoner-of-war camps are even held by Japanese military officers. The Allied forces are about to go to public trial After the news of the prisoners of war came out, it would inevitably have an impact on the stability of the prisoner of war camp.

"At least one thing General MacArthur said was right. After the war is over, our rule of Japan cannot be separated from the cooperation of the Japanese." Major General White, who is in charge of managing the prisoner-of-war camp, also came to An Qi with the same purpose as MacArthur, hoping that An Qi The list can be shortened.

The heinous ones must not be let go, even if An Qi let them go, White will not let them out of the prisoner of war camp.

Not all Japanese officers were guilty of the heinous crimes. Many of them did not serve in the frontline troops and had no Allied blood on their hands. These men also performed well in the prison camps, not only assisting the defenders in the management of prisoners of war, but also helping to maintain prisoners of war Emotions.

Otherwise, the 40 prisoners of war will be reduced to 30, and it is impossible for the Japanese to have no reaction at all.

Back then, the U.S.-Philippine coalition prisoner-of-war camp had organized prison escapes many times.

"Did you forget that photo?" Angie was more patient with White, after all, compared with MacArthur, White could barely be regarded as one of his own.

"Don't dare to forget at all times!" White hated the Japanese no less than An Qi, so he was trusted by An Qi to manage the prisoner-of-war camp.

It is precisely because of the time spent managing the prisoner-of-war camp that White's thinking has undergone some changes.

Killing all the prisoners of war is certainly to relieve hatred, but what to do after that, is it necessary to kill all the Japanese?
Even Angie wasn't so tyrannical.

"My idea is to transform Japan into a new type of colony, and let the Japanese work for us forever and create wealth for us. In this way, we need the cooperation of some Japanese. Instead of looking for it from Japan, it is better to find it from captives." Choose some people who are easier to control, pardon their crimes, and let them help us manage other Japanese." White also has a heart to colonize Japan, but his starting point is very different from MacArthur.

Angie looked at White with a slightly cold gaze.

White looked directly at An Qi with a calm gaze.

"It's the same for choosing among the remaining captives." Angie's thinking is still different from White's.

Although Anton was in a high position, he didn't spoil An Qi. An Qi worked next to Roque before, and Roque had strict requirements on An Qi, so An Qi didn't have too many evil deeds of a playboy.

White came from an old Scottish aristocratic family, and received the same elite education since childhood, otherwise he would have no chance to become a general.

"Japan is a feudal country with strict hierarchy. You should notice that members of the nobles have great influence in Japan. If we can cooperate with them, it will be easier for us to colonize Japan—" White said bluntly, Let alone excuses such as transformation, the essence is colonization.

That's right, compared with semi-feudal countries like Britain, southern Africa is a real democratic country, so An Qi really doesn't know much about Japan's social structure.

If the children of Japanese aristocrats joined the army, they would definitely not start as private soldiers, at least they would be officers.

An Qi now swipes a pen and wants to execute all the captured Japanese officers, and then there will be problems with the management of the prisoner-of-war camps.

The Japanese are really tolerant.

The work intensity of the captives was so intense, the living conditions were so harsh, and so many died. The reason why the remaining people could endure it was because they still had hope of surviving.

Now that all the generals are executed, it is self-evident what will happen next.

"Is there a list?" Angie was moved by White, and he was unwilling to leave his name in the name of a butcher.

White was indeed prepared, and took out a list from his coat pocket and handed it to An Qi.

An Qi took it and opened it. The first name was Wu Nei Si.

Takeuchi Temple comes from the famous Takeuchi family in Japan. In fact, just by looking at the name, you can tell that as long as they have a surname, they are basically of noble origin in Japan.

In ancient times, the Japanese did not have a surname, only a first name, so many Japanese names were called Dalang Erlang Saburo, which is similar to the eldest son, second son and third son in southern Africa.

In 1870, in order to meet the needs of conscription, taxation, and household registration, the Japanese government promulgated the "Common Miao Character Permission Order", allowing all Japanese, including civilians who were not allowed to have surnames before, to have surnames.

However, Japanese civilians who are accustomed to having a name without a surname are not enthusiastic about this, so the work of creating a surname is slow.

Therefore, by 1875, the Japanese government promulgated the "Order to Pronounce the Characters of Commoner Miao", stipulating that all Japanese must use surnames.

From this time on, Japanese civilians had surnames.

Takeuchi's resume is very good. He once studied in the UK and the United States. He has an English name named Franklin. After the outbreak of World War II, Takeuchi was drafted into the army, but he was an anti-pacifist. Working in the army, he voluntarily fled the battlefield during the Battle of Manila and was later captured by the locals.

It was precisely because of being captured by the locals that Wu Nei Temple escaped unharmed.

With the brutality of the Manila battle, no matter whether Wu Neiji was captured by the Southern African Expeditionary Force or the US military, he could not escape death.

Because he once studied in Europe, Takeuchi’s English is very good. He is a nobleman, he can also learn Chinese well, and he can write beautiful calligraphy. That’s why he was selected by White. He is currently serving as the second labor team in the first prisoner of war camp. vice captain.

The captain is an Australian.

However, the captain is only responsible for issuing work tasks and managing the work of the labor team, which is actually in charge of Takeuchi Temple.

When White went to see An Qi, Takeuchi Temple was comforting the panicked Japanese prisoners of war.

Not every Japanese has the will to die and is willing to serve the king and become a god after death.

Those who wanted to die had either died in battle, or were shot dead by the defenders when they tried to escape from the prisoner-of-war camp, or they were locked in dungeons because of their heinous crimes, and they didn't even have a chance to go out.

Exodus refers to leaving the camp to work.

After the news that the Allied Forces were about to conduct a public trial of prisoners of war spread, it had a great impact on the prisoner-of-war camp. Everyone, including Takeuchi, didn't know how long the list in Angel's hand was, so various versions of rumors spread like wildfire. .

"How could it be possible to kill us all? We work hard and create wealth for Southern Africans and Australians, and if anyone were to kill us, it would be more likely to be Americans than Southern Africans and Australians. "Takeuchi is really not naive. On the contrary, he is very smart and knows that if he wants to survive in the prisoner-of-war camp, he has to put all the responsibility on the Americans.

It is impossible for southern Africans and Australians to make mistakes. Only the ruthless Americans will raise their butcher knives in order to avenge the death march in Bataan.

"I heard people say that the public trial this time was organized by southern Africans." A team leader named Matsushita He trembled all over. The Japanese not only had hatred with Americans, but also hatred with Chinese in southern Africa was too great to resolve. Degree.

This has been verified in the Malay campaign and the Philippine campaign.

The Japanese prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp are all from the Japanese army formed after the Pacific War, and they have never been to the opposite side before they have the opportunity to enter the prisoner-of-war camp.

Those veteran troops formed 39 years ago, especially those who participated in the invasion of China, even the later supplementary soldiers, never went to the opposite side, and they were all executed after being captured, without even a chance to defend themselves.

There must be injustice here.

But in the context of the world war, no one paid attention to these.

"Have you ever personally killed Allied officers and soldiers, or civilians?" Takeuchi asked Matsushita, this question is crucial.

Takeuchi has been in the army for three years and has never fired a gun. He is a nobleman, and no one has pursued this.

"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't be here." Matsushita secretly rejoiced that anyone with blood on their hands would be in the dungeon as long as they were alive.

"Then you don't have to worry. Southern Africa is the most developed country in the world and the most civilized country. They won't kill innocent people indiscriminately—" Takeuchi felt guilty when he said this.

"If innocent people are not killed indiscriminately, then why am I here?" Daqiao, a new immigrant from the Philippines who is not a soldier at all, burst into tears.

There are not only prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp, but also new immigrants who immigrated to Southeast Asia before the war. Like Takeuchi, they were all sent here by the Filipinos.

Miraculously, the "prisoners of war" sent by the Filipinos were only men. As for women and property——

Probably it was divided by the Filipinos, and the Filipinos are also good at this kind of thing.

"You are here because you need atonement. As the beneficiaries of the expansion of the Great Japanese Empire, all of us are guilty." Takeuchi reflected very thoroughly. If An Qi was here, she would have to order a big one for Takeuchi Thumbs up.

There is also the credit of the Australians.

Managing prisoners of war is a technical job, and it is not enough to rely on simple and rough, but also to do ideological work, so that prisoners of war can recognize their sins and be willing to atone for their sins.

The method is of course simple.

During the battle with Japan, the Allied forces seized a lot of text and image materials taken by the Japanese themselves, including videos and photos.

Leaving aside, just talking about the Bataan Death March, there are thousands of related photos. I don’t know what the Japanese are doing to leave evidence for the Allied forces at such a high price.

Mostly for domestic propaganda, to appeal to those young and militant Japanese to join the army, they must be given some incentives.

Now these pictures and videos have become the best tools for educating Japanese prisoners of war.

On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and when you die, you blame yourself for not being good at learning, and you can't blame others.

Attacking prisoners of war who had laid down their weapons, and even massacring unarmed civilians, can only be described as inferior to animals.

The Germans and the Russians fought urban offensive and defensive wars. The civilians who were killed and injured were different. Those were considered manslaughter. The Japanese massacre of civilians is a proper crime against humanity no matter what standard is used. .

Of course, these atrocities, put in the mouth of the Japanese government, are a manifestation of the status of the Great Japanese Empire ruling Asia.

Status is when I want to kill you, when I want to kill you.

Kill you in any way you want, kill you in any way.

"I came to the Philippines, worked hard with my wife, and earned a meager income to take care of my four children. The benefits gained by the empire from launching wars have nothing to do with me. Why am I also guilty?" Daqiao still couldn't figure it out. I have identified myself as a Filipino.

The Filipinos of this era are Americans.

"As a Japanese, as long as you have Japanese blood in your body, then you are guilty." Takeuchi was also thoroughly brainwashed by the Americans.

The United States has a so-called "one drop of blood principle" for judging black people. Even if you look exactly the same as white people on the surface, there is no difference. As long as you have black people in your ancestors and black genes in your body, then you are black.

Of course, this also makes sense for the Japanese.

Daqiao may be innocent, but at the moment, no one is going to investigate whether what Daqiao is telling is true, and even if it is true, no one will spare Daqiao.

Such is the brutality of war, no one is spared.

"So we deserve to die?" Song Xiahe still couldn't accept it, what kind of bullshit theory is this.

"Of course not, but the result does not depend on the pity of the southern Africans or Australians, but on ourselves." People are reluctant to kill.
