Tojo Yingli said in an interview in August 2015, "That When I was on a business trip to Hainan Island, I saw that my great-grandfather's appearance was painted very'dominant'. Some of the teacups with paintings of Japanese prime ministers were discredited alone, which shows that people hate him."

3. The 4 backgrounds of Hideo Tojo's machine urine trousers
About this detail of Hideo Tojo's machine urine trousers, related historical materials also have similar descriptions. Feichun's biographical analysis reveals that the background of his urine pants has four: 1. The eve of war, 2. The Emperor's scapegoat, 3. Super power, 4. An unexpected surprise.
1️⃣The turning point of the Japanese War
The prime minister in July 1941 was originally Fumio Konoe. He did not advocate a war with the United States, and instead used negotiation as a means of diplomatic settlement of the conflict between China, the United States and Japan. .
However, the negotiations at that time had been fruitless. The United States had been embargoing its oil lifeline. The land phase Tojo jumped up and down, desperate to fight with Britain, the United States, China and the Soviet Union at the same time.
According to the domestic plans at the time, some advocated negotiations, and some advocated "10 years of preparation for war", etc. When the strength was strong, the Tojo line was supported. Finally, the emperor chose Tojo's adventure mode.
So, knowing that he is prime minister, Tojo can finally give it a go. Little do they know this is a dead end.
Tojo is with the students
2️⃣ The emperor finds the "scapegoat"
In fact, the original new prime minister is not Tojo.
Lu Xiang Tojo had a line conflict with Prime Minister Konoe. After resigning, Konoe submitted his resignation to the Emperor, and at the same time recommended the new prime minister to Emperor Hirohito, not Tojo, but Higashihisa Miyahiko .
But the Emperor did not agree.
In the eyes of the emperor, Higashijiujimiya is the same as Konwei Fumou, both of royal blood. In any case, he cannot let the prime minister of the royal family lead the Japanese adventure to declare war with Britain and the United States. If it fails, the royal family will be inexhaustible. Stain off.
This will greatly reduce the emperor's prestige, absolutely not.
At this time, seeing many important ministers supporting the Tojo route, the emperor simply pushed the boat along and made Tojo the prime minister.
In fact, the important ministers at the time also recommended veteran power such as Yuheng Issung, but Tojo was the most fanatical and brainless, and the most suitable role as a scapegoat.
The Tojo Cabinet attended the meeting
3️⃣ The power surpassed the former prime minister
Tojo was appointed as prime minister directly by the emperor and concurrently served as prime minister. This model is unprecedented in decades. Such a prime minister has too much power and the cabinet has no checks and balances.
Since then, Tojo has entered the Nazi mode of under one person and above ten thousand people, and is known as the shogun.
4️⃣ was appointed without warning
According to historical data, on the evening of October 16th, when Hideki Tojo was temporarily ordered to the imperial palace to accept the emperor’s summons, he was very nervous because he had been close before. Wei Wenming had a fight. He thought that the emperor was calling himself into the palace this time to give him a severe training.
But unexpectedly, the emperor calmly said to him: "We order you to form a cabinet."
appointed himself as prime minister. It was so pleasantly surprised that he "legs trembled, and I wonder what happened." What's the matter", so I didn't know when I urinated in my pants.
Tojo's suicide scene
The above 4 backgrounds, as Tojo, were not fully known at that time.
Later, Tojo was sent to the trial stand. The emperor asked someone to visit and secretly communicated the will to make him not shirk his guilt. At this time, Tojo probably knew his true role as a "scapegoat".
is also probably for this reason. In the family motto left by Tojo Hideki before his death, only 4 words were left: "Don't talk about everything."
