Original title: Hidden Evil: The Dirty Deal between the Fort Detrick Laboratory and 731 Troop
Recently, the US government has continued to speculate on the origin of the COVID-19 epidemic. In fact, it is the United States itself that "thieves shout to catch thieves." Many people don't know that the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory is inextricably linked to the heinous Japanese invasion of China, Unit 731.
The dirty deal between the Fort Detrick Laboratory and the 731st Unit
In April 1943, the U.S. Department of the Army established a germ warfare research base at Fort Detrick in Maryland . In order to deceive others, the base was named "Detrick Experimental Field". This was the predecessor of the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory.
In September 1945, Sanders, a germ warfare expert at the Fort Padtrick base in the United States, investigated the situation related to germ warfare in Japan. In the following years, the United States successively sent Thompson, Fehr and others to contact the main members of Unit 731, including the leader of Unit 731, Shiro Ishii, to learn about germ warfare.
Kenneth Porter, professor of law at William Mitchell Law School and biographer of Shiro Ishii: Through research, we found that the U.S. government was very interested in the biological weapons and their quantities possessed by Japan at that time.
In September 1947, the U.S. State Department gave instructions to MacArthur, the then Supreme Commander of the United States in Japan, MacArthur that in order to obtain the bacterial experimental data possessed by Ishii and others, "Ishii and his associates could not be held accountable for war crimes."
William· Kenneth Porter, biographer of Shiro Ishii, professor of law at Mitchell Law School: MacArthur hid Shiro Ishii and the entire Unit 731. Therefore, the war court did not know the existence of Shiro Ishii at all, just so that MacArthur could obtain research information.
In the years between the Tokyo Trial ended in November 1948, a secret deal was reached between the United States and Japan. On the condition of exempting Unit 731 from war criminal responsibility, the United States obtained data on human experiments, bacterial experiments, bacterial warfare, and poison gas experiments conducted by Unit 731, and paid 250,000 yen for this.
These data and information include a large number of experimental reports of Unit 731, as well as more than 8,000 pathology specimens and slides related to the use of bacterial weapons for human experiments and human anatomy. Files show that the covers of the glanders , anthrax and pestis experimental reports conducted by Unit 731 all have the words "Chemical Forces Research and Development Department, Biological Warfare Laboratory, Fort Detrick Base, Maryland." ” words.
In order to obtain biological experimental data, the United States sheltered World War II war criminals and concealed the heinous crimes of Shiro Ishii and Unit 731 from the world. In August 2017, a documentary broadcast by Japan's NHK TV station showed that under the protection of the United States, almost no members of Unit 731 had ever received any punishment for their crimes.
After the United States obtained these bloody data, it used them to conduct biological weapons research, which promoted the rapid development and expansion of Fort Detrick base after the war and became the P4 biological laboratory of the US military today.
