Volume 5 Divine Wind and Rain Volume Chapter 25 Comfort Women and War
.
He was shot by a Chinese officer with a pistol, and he was also an officer. He liked to use automatic pistols along the positions. The capacity of twenty-round magazines is much larger than that of revolvers, and the convenience and accuracy of shooting is incomparable to revolvers. Why does the Empire not have its own pistol?
Even the Southern Chinese army in Taiwan also appeared a large number of light weapons, effectively slaughtering the warriors of the empire. What did the decision makers of the empire think? They were probably covered by the glory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. For them, it was already a great gift to replace the soldiers with a Murata rifle and equip the officers with a revolver.
Perhaps the best equipment is a sword from the age of cold weapons! Since fighting with the Northern Chinese army, the Major has increasingly felt that the Imperial Army's equipment was lagging behind, and each soldier has equipped it with a long sword. This equipment with majesty greater than its practical significance is very consistent with the above aesthetic views.
Although the bayonets equipped on the soldier's wall are the longest, the difficulties caused by this are far greater than the benefits brought by length. Perhaps when fighting in hand-to-hand combat, a longer length will bring the advantages of hand-to-hand combat (although short Japanese cannot enjoy this advantage), but the difficulties brought by excessive guns (too long, they cannot be placed vertically in the trench, otherwise the tip of the bayonet will be displayed and exposed, and if placed flat, it will affect the speed of holding the gun).
In fact, this also reflects the decision-maker's attitude towards his soldiers, using hand-to-hand combat instead of artillery to solve the battle, which actually means that the decision-maker's thinking is still stuck in the ancient era of cold weapons.
On the other hand, the Northern Chinese army on the opposite side were more thinking about using weapons to the maximum extent, using powerful and accurate firepower as the main means of victory. Carpet-style artillery fire destroyed artillery towers, bunkers and trenches. Out of the naked eye, the enemy's body and spirit were destroyed. By the time these people launched the charge, the enemy no longer had the power to fight back.
The decision makers of the empire still use their soldiers' blood to fill the enemy's artillery. Perhaps in their view, the life of an imperial soldier can be equated with a 152-meter shell. If a 305-meter shell only kills an imperial soldier, then it can be said that he has made a big profit.
When the master thought of this, he was shocked by his sudden thoughts. When he had such a terrible idea, it was simply a blasphemy of His Majesty the Emperor's divine power. The simple master was very sad about his depravity. What a rebellious act!
After crossing the ruins, he was bombarded by cannons for a whole day, there was no complete street in the city. The Grandpa suddenly found that under a broken trench, there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and his eyes were filled with despair and fear. He was very familiar with this gaze. When he captured the capital of the Qing Dynasty, he often saw such gazes. But today, seeing such gazes in his own country still made the Grandpa's heart ache.
(It can be seen from this that the Japanese soldiers have not reflected on the disasters brought to other countries by Japan's invasion. They just one-sidedly reflect on the so-called trauma of their own wars. What they reflected on: = Another war. Be the winner.)
"Master, thank you for your hard work. I am so happy to see you! Welcome to the comfort station! Our arms are always open to the heroes of the Imperial Army." This is a Japanese military prostitute who smiled from afar and greeted the master.
When the master saw that what came towards him was a group of local military prostitutes wearing dirty clothes. They came over with several stretchers. The master was shocked. These women were unkempt and had no clothes covering their bodies. Some even had hats. A military clerk smiled and winked at him. It was the military clerk who greeted him just now. She looked coquettish. She was just a slut. The master didn't know him and walked over with a tense face.
He had never thought about setting military discipline in the past. This was not a question for officers of his own level to think about. Since this is done, it must make sense! Anyway, it would not go to such dirty places. Even if it was a military discipline that specifically serves officers, he instinctively felt disgusted.
"Master, you must come!" The far cry was the cry of the sprite.
"Come on, take off your clothes. Get ready. The soldiers are working so hard today. Everyone should do their best!" Matsuko was trying hard to explain that these things that could not be seen in other countries were really normal to the Japanese people.
In Japan, it is common sense to include gambling and playing women in "adult games". This can not only be explained by a large number of Japanese dictionaries and cultural books, but also proved by the customs of prostitution and gambling everywhere. Speaking of which, gambling and playing women are the most popular, probably because they do not require any special skills that are difficult to master, and are most directly related to human desires.
As for prostitution, Japan has always had the saying that "heroes are lustful" since ancient times. If you open a history book, you will find that this statement is indeed based on: most of the people who have left their names in history are romantic and romantic. This is not a strange story. It is as normal as the emperor of our country has the "Three Palaces, Six Courtyards, Seventy-Two Concubines". People without a little scent are equivalent to boring people. In the minds of Japanese people, prostitution and gambling to a certain extent are not a matter of principle. They are a kind of adjustment for life, just like food requires seasoning.
In the past, prostitutes were called "younu", the location of the brothel was called "youku" or "langyou", and the clustered area of the brothel was called "youli". The word "you" refers to games or playing in Japanese. "Female You" means playing women. Now in Japan, the ** industry is called "customs industry" and the girls engaged in the ** industry are called "customs women". It can be seen that playing women is also related to "customs".
In the Heian era (794-1185), prostitutes began to appear. The number of prostitutes began in the Warring States Period, which lasted 100 years from the 11th century to the 12th century. At that time, Daming (i.e., the princes) were in vain. In addition to the wives and daughters of soldiers who defeated one side, the wives and daughters of the people who were unable to make a living were mostly prostitutes to comfort the souls of the warriors.
Especially during the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-), the first general of the Edo Shogunate, was in power forever in order to weaken the power of the Daimyo for generations. He did not hesitate to adopt the "Youku policy". The purpose was to use women to destroy Daimyo, and the fighting spirit of the samurai was wiped out.
According to records, Yoshihara in Edo, Shimahara in Kyoto, Shinjidae in Osaka, and samurai. In addition to being beautiful and able to sing and dance, the wandering girls there can also interpret Chinese poetry. Not only are they traveling for women, but as a "common sense education", they also traveled for women, but even monks visit brothels. There are even monks and prostitutes who get married. This is a complete revolution in concept. As a result, the policy of the Tokugawa Shogunate not only caused 30% of the Makumamoto population to suffer from syphilis, but also had a profound impact on Japanese customs and national character.
The lust of the Edo period was getting more and more popular with the wars of the Meiji era (1868-1912). For example, according to records, during the "Japanese-Qing War" in the 27th year of Meiji (i.e., Sino-Japanese War of 1894), Japanese soldiers sent troops to the port for a population of only 100,000 Hiroshima, a year later, left behind two thousand illegitimate children.
Perhaps a man's "patriotism" is manifested as sacrifice for the country, and a woman's "patriotism" is manifested as devoting herself to the warriors. The so-called "comfort" gradually changed from that time to a common sense. In the late Meiji period, especially after the victory of the Japanese-Qing War (1894-1895), Piao Chun can be said to have reached its peak.
According to records at that time, someone stood at the gate of Yuko Yoshihara. In order to calculate the number of tourists entering Yuko, from 8:> about ten people were about fourteen years old, one hundred and seventeen people were about fourteen to seventeen, and about five hundred people were about seventeen to twenty-four to twenty-five years old.
The reason for the high lustfulness was the first to be the protection of You Gu by the Meiji government. Meiji's first Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito (1841-1895), who was regarded as the "only hero" by men at that time, was recognized as a "sexy man (sexy ghost). Looking for flowers and asking about willows, "sleeping with the thighs of the most beautiful girl in Japan as a pillow" was his elegant pleasure.
Meiji 27 (1894). When answering questions from reporters from the British Daily News, he declared, "I don't want to abolish You Gu." "The power of role models is infinite." When young people at that time talked about their feelings several years later, they said, "Walking in a brothel was like going to the toilet."
After the Japanese-Qing War, not only fully inherited the romantic traditions of the ancestors, but also developed. If it means that the early period of governance was the heyday of Pak Spring, then the late Meiji period was the heyday of Pak Spring. Because the early period of Meiji was still dominated by public prostitution, and in the late Meiji period, geisha houses and private prostitutes with various signs began to roam, and the number of people exceeded twice that of public prostitutes.
Japan's spring sales industry has shown a new look. One is the popularity of "selling women" and the other is the unrivaled "comfort women" system during the war.
Comfort women have a theory that openly advocates that satisfaction of sexual desire can improve the combat effectiveness of the army. It is the practice of this theory that the Japanese army will immediately set up "comfort centers" wherever they fight. In the past, it was generally believed that women could not live without sex for a long time, but men cannot.
According to the survey on the results of military abstinence, if abstinence exceeds a certain period of time, the combat ability of soldiers begins to decline. For example, "A warriors will easily have air accidents after abstinence for more than three weeks." In order to "improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers", the "world-famous" comfort women system stands out.
Because during the extraordinary period of war, the law of "equal transaction" lost its protection and soldiers' psychological balance became wild animals, and prostitution became ** and **. The Russian Far East was the biggest victim of this system. Since it became a Japanese colony, the Russian Far East had to provide the battlefield with young women who accounted for more than half of the total comfort women.
And they were also Japanese. They first established Youkuo in various parts of the Russian Far East to serve as a comfort station for officers and merchants. The brothels were brought from the local area to overseas with the pace of the Japanese army. Later, when the war was fully launched, the most urgent thing for the military to go was to build barracks and comfort stations.
Unlike building brothels and building comfort stations, it can be simplified, and even completed before the barracks have been completed. "Flock a small house with straw mats and lay a mattress." There are neat queues in front of each small house. Because time is tight, some soldiers have taken off their clothes in advance. Think about it, there are millions of thirsty heroic soldiers on the front line!
Because there are not enough comfort women, the army needs to rest. For example, Squadron A takes Monday and Squadron B takes Tuesday... In this way, the comfort women can only "turn around" and there is no time to go off work. According to the report of a second lieutenant in the health team (the officer responsible for managing the comfort center) who has been retained: A comfort woman received a Japanese soldier in three hours!...
It can be imagined that each person receives an average of dozens of brave and warlike comfort women who are brave and good at fighting Japanese soldiers every day, even if they are lucky enough to die of chest pain, venereal diseases or violence caused by suffocation, it is difficult to survive because they know the inside story, just like the emperor's burial objects. Of course, as the biggest victims, these Japanese comfort women do not feel sad, and they are proud of their careers.
The Grandpa walked to the command center in the city
"Master, come and talk to you, just talk." The major general saw the Major with a bandage hanging on his arm walking into the command post, and led the Major to his hidden unit.
"To be honest, what will it become?" After the two of them sat down, the major general asked cautiously.
The Major was silent. As a middle and lower-level officer, he did not have the habit of discussing the battle situation with his superior officers, nor did he dare to.
"Why don't you talk!" The major general was a little angry.
"I don't know how to say it, I'm afraid I can't say it well." The Major expressed his thoughts.
"Brother, I came to you today not to discuss official duties, but to be in a private identity. You are afraid, what are you afraid of? You didn't escape from death today, so what's so scarier than the Dead Sea!"
"Sir! You..." The Major looked at the Major General in surprise. He had never seen the Major General speak to others in such a kind tone. He thought that it was probably because the Major General was really depressed. I think it was because a Supreme Commander had supreme authority, but he must be lonely. Such a peak of stocks would make people crazy.
