Episode 1 There were many powerful figures emerging during World War II, and Yamamoto Izuru was one of them.
However, no matter how rampant it was, Yamamoto ended up being shot dead.
The origin of the name Yamamoto Izuru is very interesting. His real name is Takano Izuru, and he is the sixth child of the Samurai Sadaki Takano.
Until he was thirty years old, Takano Izuru followed his adopted father Yamamoto with his knife and changed his surname to Yamamoto Izuru.
The children of the samurai family have a wish since childhood to join the army. However, Yamamoto Iroku did not enter the Army Academy, but passed the Navy.
At this time, he even participated in the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 as a second lieutenant trainee gun officer.
The first time I went to the battlefield, Yamamoto's left index finger and middle finger were blown up, leaving behind a lifelong disability. So I got the nickname "80 cents".
The saying "80 cents" was first spread in the romantic places. Back then, Japanese geisha would trim nails for guests, and each finger costs one cent.
Overyone, ten fingers cost one dollar, but Yamamoto Izukuo just lost two, and only needed to pay 80 cents.
Later, this incident spread to the army. Everyone laughed at Yamamoto Izuru, so they gave him the nickname "80 cents".
This is why Yamamoto Iroku has to wear gloves no matter where he goes.
In addition to frequenting fireworks and willow alleys, this person is also a gambler, and his gambling nature is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
He likes to use all kinds of things around him as bargaining chips to gamble, such as betting on whether it will rain tomorrow, etc.
Yamamoto Iroku divided his life into gambling of all sizes. For him, gambling is more like a kind of ability than a hobby.
After graduation, he entered the army with a scattered military discipline. However, since Yamamoto Izuru came, no one dared to gamble anymore, because he won the money away.
Open the record of a well-known casino and we can learn that Yamamoto is the second Japanese here to be ordered to ban it.
The reason is: He is too good at winning money.
And Yamamoto is quite confident in his gambling skills. He once said:
If he had a year to gamble, he would definitely win an aircraft carrier to Japan.
At this time, Yamamoto's ideal is to open a casino of his own and earn all the pockets of everyone.
It can be said that such a personality will also affect his future military strategy.
If you play exciting, what else is more exciting than putting the fate of two countries on the Pacific Ocean and gamble once?
As a result, the "Pearl Harbor Incident" broke out in full swing and became the "open side dish" of World War II. After the outbreak of the
incident, the United States caused serious losses, and Yamamoto Izuru's prestige suddenly rose.
However, at this time, Japan was already trapped in the mud of World War II and could not extricate itself, and Yamamoto was still fantasizing about having a good fight with the United States.
One day, the staff officer of the US Pacific Fleet was holding a cracked file, full of Yamamoto Iroku's whereabouts.
After learning about the situation, Commander Nimitz frowned and decided to kill the executioner.
He conveyed the message to President Roosevelt, but received no answer because: he could not use assassination to get rid of the enemy.
At this time, the Admiral was with the President and saw the President's doubts. The Admiral said:
Yamamoto Iroji will go to the front line of the war this time. Once it is the front line, whether it is the general or the officers and soldiers, they are the targets of legal shooting.
Roosevelt made up his mind to get rid of Yamamoto, and after approval, he conveyed the news to General Nimitz.
htmlOn April 18, the sky was cloudless, and Yamamoto's landline flew over the north of Buyin under the support of six planes.
40 minutes later, Yamamoto's plane and 18 fighters sent by the United States met in the air, and the two sides fought a life-and-death battle.
Finally, Yamamoto's plane was defeated by the US military, fully exposed to the "machine gun" of American fighter planes.
In an instant, Yamamoto's plane ejected flames and fell directly into the depths of the forest. The search team searched in the air for two days and found a bomber with all kinds of desolate results.
A corpse sat straight on the left side of the plane. Not only that, there were two gunshot wounds on the mountain itself. The US military made a bold judgment: Yamamoto was dead long before the plane crash.
Yamamoto Izuru's death shocked the Japanese military and a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese army.
High-level generals had to block the message, and even doubted whether Yamamoto's last whereabouts had been cracked and learned.
Later, the Japanese military sent the commander of the Southeast Fleet, Cao Lu Renyi, to inspect, but at this time the US military had already seen through Japan's tricks.
There was no US plane on the route mentioned in the telegram, so the Japanese firmly believe that Yamamoto's whereabouts will never be exposed, and his death was accidental.
It was not until May 21, 1943 that Japan disclosed the news of Yamamoto Iroku's death.
posthumously awarded him the Navy Marshal, and also held a state funeral for him with millions of people.
With the departure of Yamamoto Iroji, the "imperial dream" of Japanese militarism was completely shattered.
Conclusion
Overall, Yamamoto is a very powerful general in Japan.
But evil wars can never escape the punishment of justice. Yamamoto's fate is the best answer.
