Why did Japanese prostitutes voluntarily join as comfort women? Earn money, have fun, and serve the Emperor!
In the early days of the war of aggression against China, Japan, like Germany, vigorously promoted the various benefits of militarism at home, such as national rejuvenation and standing in the world. Various painted cakes give the people a daydream. Newspapers, TV, propaganda slogans hanging on the streets and patriotic parades by students have made the atmosphere in Japan very restless!
The publicity speeches on the street were more impassioned than the last. Every Japanese people was dizzy after listening to them, hoping to reach the top of their contribution to the country immediately!
Promotions like to be placed in busy places. The red light district is an excellent place , with leaflets everywhere every day.
And the prostitutes inside listened to speeches and read leaflets every day, and the customers who came to deliver them would also mention the revitalization of the nation, and they were said to have ups and downs in their hearts!
As soon as the war started, many Japanese men rushed to sign up to join the army, looking forward to going to the battlefield!
The prostitutes actually wanted to participate, but unfortunately there was too little demand for female soldiers and they couldn't get their turn.
Later, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, the Japanese government launched the infamous comfort women program, which also recruited a group of women from Japan, first selected from prostitutes.
The promises made to the prostitutes at that time were very beautiful. They were money, high benefits, and an opportunity to dedicate themselves to the emperor! These prostitutes have also been brainwashed by militarism. As soon as heard that they would serve the country by doing their job, they would still get money, and they could also comfort the soldiers!
kills three birds with one stone!
A large group of prostitutes rushed to sign up and got on the ship sent to the battlefield! They were looking forward to a beautiful place and a new beginning, but they didn't expect that they would be sent to the ferry boat to hell!
When they arrived on the battlefield, they were all sent to dark comfort stations and chained to beds or comfort chairs! Sometimes there is no food for the whole day, and we are forced to entertain dozens of people! If there is no money to be paid, the management people will just beat them for fun when they are unhappy! If you get sick, you'll be shot or buried alive!
Many prostitutes died in regret and never returned to Japan. It can be regarded as fulfilling the belief of "dedicating myself to the emperor"! 3*
