Episode 299: I’ll let you join first/There’s also a command
Prime Minister Abe returns to the Prime Minister’s Office.
After looking over the received information for a while, he made a decision and gave instructions to the chief secretary.
“Call everyone.”
“yes?”
“Call all ministers and their staffs immediately.”
“All right.”
He had made up his mind, but he couldn’t possibly make the decision on his own.
3 hours later.
The people gathered in the conference room were very nervous, wondering what was going on.
As Abe nodded, the chief secretary held up the documents.
“Please read the documents in front of you first. After you read them, I will tell you why we are gathered here.”
The officials silently picked up the documents and read them through.
“What is this…?”
“Hmm.”
“Ugh…..”
Their expressions became complex, just like Prime Minister Abe’s at first.
Japanese atrocities and atrocities
1. Unit 731 Maruta experiment.
The targets are prisoners of war from Korea, Russia, Mongolia, etc.
It is a cruel experiment targeting children, the elderly, women, and even pregnant women.
At least 3,000 people have died and tens of thousands have been infected.
2. The Ukishima Maru incident.
On August 15, 1945, about 9,000 Koreans who had been forcibly conscripted to Japan were loaded onto the Ukishima Maru and headed to Busan.
About 200 Japanese soldiers disembarked from the ship that had deviated from its scheduled course, and the Japanese military ordered the Koreans to go down to the hold below the ship.
After that, Ukishima-maru sank with three explosions.
This incident left approximately 7,500 Koreans unable to return to their homeland, and subsequent demands by bereaved families for the truth to be revealed were ignored.
3. The Kanto Massacre.
In 1923, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake occurred in the Kanto region of Japan, killing approximately 100,000 people.
To prevent any signs of civil unrest, Japan declared martial law after spreading a false rumor that “Koreans were poisoning wells and causing riots.”
As a result, Japanese soldiers, police, and vigilantes massacred 6,000 innocent Koreans.
4. National treasure covered in concrete.
The largest stone pagoda in East Asia, including Korea, is the Mireuksa Temple stone pagoda.
After it collapsed due to a lightning strike in 1910, only six stories remained, and in 1915, Japan covered it with concrete under the pretext of repairing the stone pagoda.
Eventually, the stone pagoda was dismantled due to stability issues.
The amount of asphalt laid by Japan was a whopping 185 tons.
5. The purpose of the Korea-Japan talks is to get rid of stomach bugs.
When Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida was asked in the Japanese Diet (House of Representatives) just before the Japan-ROK talks, “What is the purpose of the talks?” he blurted out an outrageous remark without any hesitation.
‘The most important issue in this Korea-Japan meeting is not to grant Japanese citizenship to Koreans in Japan. Minorities who are immigrants are worms in the stomach. The purpose of the Korea-Japan meeting is to prevent Japan from having these (worms)’
6. Korean animals.
Japan exhibited two Koreans at the Osaka Expo, arguing that non-Japanese Asians were uncivilized.
Even other Asians brought from Taiwan, Ryukyu, etc.
7. A corpse abandoned on the street.
Dr. Yun Bong-gil, who threw a bomb at the Emperor’s birthday party held in Hongkou Park in Shanghai.
Dr. Yun Bong-gil, who was arrested at the scene, was executed by firing squad.
The Japanese military buried the body of Dr. Yun Bong-gil in the cold winter on the way to the cemetery management office, which was a garbage dump.
Dr. Yun Bong-gil’s body was finally recovered by Park Yeol after liberation and was able to return to his home country.
8. Damage to Changgyeonggung Palace.
Changgyeonggung Palace, which means a house full of slopes.
The Japanese destroyed Changgyeonggung Palace in an attempt to wipe out the Joseon Dynasty.
On March 25, 1909, a zoo was created within the palace, followed by a botanical garden and a museum.
In addition, he built a Japanese-style pavilion in the palace and planted cherry trees, which were the national flower of Japan at the time.
In 1911, the name of Changgyeonggung Palace was downgraded to ‘Won (苑)’ and called ‘Changgyeongwon.’
9. Apologized to the United States for forced labor.
The Japanese government and war criminal companies used clever wordplay to evade the claim that there was no compulsion in the forced conscription of Koreans.
However, the Japanese war criminal company Mitsubishi Group bowed its head at a 90-degree angle and apologized to the Americans who were forced into forced labor as prisoners of war.
10. Nose tomb (ear tomb).
Nose Tomb in Kyoto, Japan.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered that Koreans’ noses be cut off and preserved in salt for reporting purposes.
The soldiers sent three noses per person, and the ears and noses of 126,000 Koreans are currently buried in the Kyoto Nose Tomb.
.

As everyone who had read the documents put them down, the chief secretary explained the seriousness of the situation.
“That document was written by the Korean government. As you can see, it contains everything we have done since Korea became our vassal state. It also includes content from before the modern era.”
“Why did you show me this?”
“Korea made two demands as a condition for being accepted into the AAU.”
“…?”
“First, recognize Tsushima as Korean territory.”
“What, what?”
“What kind of nonsense is that…”
“You’re crazy.”
As people raised their voices in protest with red faces, the chief secretary raised his hand.
“The second is what you saw. Korea officially acknowledged all of this and asked the world for forgiveness. And they demanded that it be included in the national textbook.”
“Hmm….”
“That’s too much to ask.”
“We’re in big trouble. If we don’t join the AAU, we’ll never be able to get Helium-3 energy again…”
When the commotion died down, the chief secretary continued speaking.
“I asked everyone to gather here to hear their opinions in this situation.”
“Both are impossible, so how do we decide?”
“What would the people say if I said I would grant their two demands? No matter how much I think about it, this is impossible.”
“That’s right. Our political life is over.”
“If you just say it’s impossible, Japan will soon become a country worse than Southeast Asian countries. Is that okay?”
“Ahem…..”
That’s not it.
No matter how hard they tried to secure their own positions, they could not stand by and watch Japan fall.
When the country was defeated by two atomic bombs and was reduced to a beggar’s lap, if the Korean War had not occurred, Japan today would not have been a dream.
I couldn’t step on that train again.
At that time, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida must have been so happy that upon receiving the first report of the outbreak of the Korean War, he went to the kamidana (an altar where ancestral spirits are enshrined in the home) and bowed his head deeply, muttering, “This is truly a blessing from heaven. Please look down on it…”
For Yoshida, the Korean War was a ‘blessing.’
The Japanese people at the time, including him, welcomed the Korean War as the ‘god of salvation’ or ‘kamikaze.’
The war special revived the Japanese economy, which had been struggling with a recession after its defeat.
Until the outbreak of the Korean War, the country was suffering from a recession with a deficit of 300 million dollars every year, but by the end of 1950, it had turned around to a surplus of 40 million dollars.
Foreign exchange reserves also increased significantly.
Although they could not stand by and watch Japan’s defeat, the staff and ministers were watching each other closely and could not give a quick answer.

After about five minutes, Prime Minister Abe came forward.
“We have to make a decision today. No one can leave the conference room until a decision is made.”
“Your Excellency, how do we make decisions like this?”
“Hmm… First, let’s talk about the first demand, Tsushima. There’s a lot of evidence in Korea, so how about we handle it like we did with the return of the cultural assets last time?”
“Even if we say we will do that, will the people accept it?”
“So we have to make them accept it. How about imitating what Russia did when it made Gobi and the three northeastern provinces special autonomous regions?”
That’s a good method.
Although we are returning it because of clear evidence, if we do it gradually over a period of time like this, public backlash will subside.
People thought this was the best way for now.
“That sounds good. There will probably be a lot of resistance, but it seems better than handing it over completely to Korean territory from the beginning.”
“That’s right. The people will gradually come to accept it as they get wet in a drizzle.”
Prime Minister Abe smiled with satisfaction as others nodded in agreement.
“Okay. Then let’s do that for the first request. Now the second one remains….”
“The biggest stumbling block in the second demand is that this content should be included in the national textbooks, right?”
“that’s right.”
“Rather than looking at this only negatively, how about seeing this as an opportunity to renew Japan’s image?”
“Image makeover?”
“Yes. Germany has acknowledged and apologized for some of the atrocities committed by the Nazis, so I don’t think we can’t do the same.”
“Compared to what the Nazis did, we’re gentlemen, aren’t we?”
The Minister of the Interior hoped for a response, but no one answered.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t answer.
“I see. So it has been decided to accept the second request as well. Do you all agree?”
“yes.”
“I want to say this clearly here: we had no choice but to make this decision in order to save Japan. I hope you will remember this.”
“All right.”
Japan’s struggle for survival.
They chose to give up the flesh and take the bones.
Hoping that this decision will bring benefits that go beyond the special circumstances of the past Korean War.
But we don’t know what’s going on in the international community.
Especially if it has deep ties to Russia.
The South Korean president headed to Russia after hearing from Japan that they would accept two demands.
Moscow Kremlin.
As the Korean president began to tell the story of his encounter with Japan, Nikolai’s expression turned out to be the opposite of what he had expected.
I thought they would be somewhat upset since we had negotiated with Japan without notifying Russia in advance.
“Haha, well done. You don’t have to worry about joining AAU.”
“What are you going to do?”
“We should do as Japan has been doing.”
“…?”
“Promises should be kept to people and countries that can keep them.”
“Do you mean by any chance…?”
“Since Korea has said that it will do what it asked for, we will allow it to join the AAU. However, there is also the option of leaving the AAU.”
“ah!”
“I will take care of the rest, so you can notify Japan.”
“thank you.”
“We hope to become a long-standing blood ally with Korea.”
“It’s the same for us too.”
After the meeting, the two leaders happily had dinner.
As the mood began to warm up, the Korean President asked something he was really curious about.
“Why does the President like some countries so much, but dislike Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, and the United States? And the EU as well.”
“Did it look like that?”
“I think not only I, but other world leaders also saw it that way.”
“Just as there are people you dislike for no reason, there are also countries you dislike for no reason.”
There are obvious reasons, but it’s hard to say them all.
“That doesn’t mean there’s no reason for it. To put it simply… all of those countries have a history of invading and trampling on weaker countries with their military and economic power.”
“That’s true.”
“Russia has tried hard to reflect on its past mistakes and contribute to world peace, but those countries have not done so at all. There is a law, but no one can judge those countries, so we, Russia, have done it. The same goes for those in power.”
“Ah, so that’s why.”
“Korea has now risen to become the world’s third largest power. I hope the President will also take good care of weaker countries.”
“Of course.”
Korea has achieved its current position by following and imitating Russia.
I may not have known about other people, but I accepted President Nikolai’s words without question.
“Even if the president steps down, Korea should be a well-run country.”
“….”
“Russia doesn’t know what will happen if I step down. That’s why I’m going to do something unprecedented in world history.”
“…?”
“I will proceed after this third election is over, so please watch and I hope the President will proceed as well. It will be a tough fight, but you must do it.”
“All right.”
Nikolai was worried about what would happen after he left.
He hoped that Russia would surpass the mighty Mongol and Roman Empires and last for 1,000 years.
So we decided to push forward with what we came up with that way.
The president returned to Korea and successfully concluded negotiations with Japan.
At the same time, Prime Minister Abe announced to the world Korea’s two demands through his national address.
“Based on hundreds of pieces of evidence presented by Korea, we in Japan have decided to designate Tsushima as a special autonomous region of Korea. We hereby declare that Tsushima will be operated as an autonomous region for three years and will be incorporated into Korean territory after three years.”
The press conference was broadcast live and the whole world was shocked as they watched.
The Japanese people naturally protested strongly.
“Who gave Tsushima to Korea at will? Then, does that mean that we Tsushima residents should also become Korean citizens?”
“Can politicians decide such big issues at will?”
But Japan is a country where politicians make decisions no matter how much the people protest.
“And we acknowledge all the contents of the documents distributed to the reporters, and we sincerely ask for forgiveness from the countries that suffered great damage because of us in the past. We will also resume compensation for the damages, and we will make sure that all these facts are included in the national textbooks for elementary, middle, high school, and university students.”
It was a truly groundbreaking and shocking announcement.
Because I never expected Japan to make such an announcement.
Countries that had suffered past pains because of Japan were moved by the fact that they were able to heal the pain of their history.
“This decision was made to further strengthen relations with our neighboring country, Korea, and to fulfill the conditions for becoming an AAU member country, so I hope that the people will humbly accept it for the sake of Japan’s future.”
Prime Minister Abe’s announcement shook public opinion in many countries with deep ties to Japan in the past.
As always, one issue gets buried in another.
This time too, things started to quiet down little by little as various things started to happen around the world.
Meanwhile, Nikolai’s third presidential election was held in Russia….
-With his successful re-election, President Nikolai served as president for a total of 14 years and 6 months. This makes him the longest-serving president in the history of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. Some are concerned that President Nikolai may be turning into a dictator. However, the president has made a firm commitment. He will step down when his term ends.
The presidential term of office is enshrined in law so that it can never be changed.
So, unless it was a very special case like Nikolai’s, ten years was the end.
After a brief inauguration ceremony, Nikolai called all his staff together and made an important announcement.
“The content I am about to announce has a deep impact on you and may cause harm to some people.”
“…?”
“I have thought a lot about this decision and I ask for your support.”
As Nikolai stood up from his seat and turned to the screen behind him, data began to appear.
The mouths of those close to him who read the entire content dropped open.
