No.2 大東亜戦争の正体 / Real nature of the Greater East Asia War

日清戦争 / The first Sino-Japanese War

1)国民が一丸となったと云うのは、明治維新から大東亜戦争が敗戦を向かえるまでの、日本人の結束を良く物語っている言葉だと思う。
軍人も役人も政治家も学者も英国・フランス・米国・ドイツに学び、国内では職人が列強国の文明機器を懸命に習得し、農民や商人は太陽の上がり下がりに合わせて働いた。

2)この様な気運の中で日清戦争は、1894年から1895年に日本と清国の間で、朝鮮の処遇を廻って起こった戦争です。
当時のアフリカやアジア諸国は、欧米列強国の侵略政策に蹂躙され、支那・清国はアヘン戦争で英国に叩きのめされ香港を奪い取られていた。
朝鮮は既に何百年も前から支那の属国だったから、侵略を受けていなかったのは日本だけでした。

3)この状況下でロシア軍の朝鮮半島南下を恐れる日本は、朝鮮の独立と富国強兵を望み、奮起を期待していたのであろう。
日本の動きに清国は、朝鮮を己の従属国家だと云い張って鋭く対立した。
朝鮮国内も清国を頼る勢力・事大党と日本に組みする勢力・独立党が激しく対立し、全くの混乱状態だったのです。

4)1894年7月に朝鮮で農民一揆・東学党の乱が勃発すると、事大党が清国へ援軍を求めた事から、日本は居留民の保護を名目に出兵し、日清両国が戦争に突入して行きました。
近代的な軍備を持つ日本軍は、朝鮮半島から満州に快進撃し各地で支那軍に猛攻を加え打ち破った。
1895年3月に清国があっけなく降伏し8ケ月で終戦に至ったのです。

5)下関の講和会議に於いて、下関条約により朝鮮の独立が認められ、日本は台湾と遼東半島を手にするが、ロシア・仏蘭西・ドイツの横槍が入り、苦渋を飲む思いで遼東半島を手離しました。
当時の日本には三国の圧力を跳ね返すだけの、軍備力も経済力も残っていなかったのです。
正に臥薪嘗胆とはこの事だ。

戦いには勝てば官軍と云う言葉があるが、争いが大きくなればそれにりに、勝ち方が派手ならばなるほどに、出る釘は打たれる証しでもあった。

6)ロシアは当時、既にユーラシア大陸に次々と領土を広げ、更に東アジアをも狙っていたのです。
「 三国干渉 」 により日本に圧力を掛け遼東半島を清国に返させたロシアは、清国に遼東半島を取り戻した報酬を請求し、そのまま遼東半島に居座ってしまった。
ロシアとはそんな横暴を顔色も変えずに平然と行なう様な国でした。 

7)世界の歴史と言うものは、何時の時代も強者が弱者を痛めつけ、あらゆるものを略奪し己の懐にする喜劇であり悲劇でもあるのです。
どんなに美しい大義名分を並べ立てようが、人間が人を傷つけ殺し合う事に変わりはない。
そこに正義があるとするならば、それは勝者の戯言であり敗者の虚しい言い訳であろう。

8)だから戦をする時は、どんなに卑怯な手を使っても、敵を完全に叩き潰し勝利を手にする事が絶対条件になる。
その覚悟がない限り権力者は民を巻き込んだ戦争をしてはいけない。
どんなに素晴らしい美学が潜んで居たとしても敗者は負け犬に過ぎません。
負け犬が幾ら吼えた処で失った名誉や民族の尊厳は二度とは戻らないからです。

この章で読者に記憶して欲しい事は、ロシアと云う大国の立ち居ふる舞いです。

我が国は北方四島の件で、既に70年近くも返還交渉を行っておりますが、今までの様に殿様交渉を演じていたのでは、領土は永遠に帰らないでしょう。
遼東半島返還に拘ったロシア人の姿勢に民族の本性が如実に現れているが、我が国の政治家も官僚も勉強不足で脇が甘いから、ロシア人の民族性を何も理解できなかったのです。

広大な領地を所有するロシアが、何故に支那や朝鮮半島に固執したのか、歴史的には大変に重要な点でありましょう。
ロシアは太平洋の覇権を手にするためには、どうしても不凍結の軍港を確保する必要があった。
現在の支那が尖閣諸島や東・南支那海を奪いに来ている構図と類似しております。


『 The first Sino-Japanese War  』

Because this English sentence is machine translation, please forgive it when a meaning is unidentified.

1) As for saying that the nation became the bullet, Greater East Asia War thinks defeat to be words telling about Japanese unity before being able to go well from the Meiji Restoration.
An officer and a government official and a politician and the scholar learned from U.K., France, United States, Germany, and a craftsman learned the civilization apparatus of the Great Powers country hard in the country, and the farmer and the merchant worked for solar ups and downs in total.


2) It is the war that the Sino-Japanese War is past Korean treatment between Japan and one of Shinkoku in such feeling from 1894 through 1895, and took place.
Then Africa and Asian countries were infringed upon by the aggression policy of the European and American Great Powers country, and China, Shinkoku was beaten up by Opium War by the U.K., and Hong Kong was snatched.
Because Korea was already a dependency of China for some time for several hundred years, it was only Japan not to have received aggression.


3) Japan for fear of the Korea southing of the Russian military expected Korean independence and measure to enrich and strengthen a country under this situation and would expect stirring up.
I said that it was a subordination nation, and Shinkoku kept watch on Korea and was opposed to movement of Japan keenly. I crossed the Korea country in power, toadyism party and Japan with the help of Shinkoku and power, Independent Party which did it was intense and was opposed and was a real confusion state.


4) When a peasants' revolt, peasants insurrection believing in the Eastern principles broke out in Korea in July, 1894, because a toadyism party pursued a reinforcement in Shinkoku, Japan was nominal by the protection of the settler and sent troops, and both Sino-Japanese entered into war.
The Japanese military with modern armaments from the Korean Peninsula in Manchurian excellent; attacked it, and beat the China forces in each place.
Shinkoku was disappointing and surrendered in March, 1895, and the end of the war was developed in eight months.

5) In a peace conference of Shimonoseki, Korean independence was accepted by Shimonoseki Treaty, and Japan had Taiwan and Liaotung in its hand, but Russia, France, an interruption of Germany entered and I felt that I drank distress and returned Liaotung.
Neither the armaments power that only rejected the pressure of three countries nor the economic power was left in then Japan.
Right talk about struggling against difficulties for the sake of vengeance.

There were words to be called the Imperial army if I won to fight, but the nail which appeared as such if the way of winning was loud was proof to be touched by as much as a fight grew big.

6) I already enlarged the territory in sequence in the Eurasian Continent, and Russia aimed at East Asia more in those days.
When I applied pressure by "three interference" in Japan and let Shinkoku return Liaotung, I requested the reward that regained Liaotung from Shinkoku and have just stayed in Liaotung.
Russia was the country which I seemed to perform calmly without the complexion changing such a tyranny.


7) A strong man bullies the weak in the times of what time, and it is a comedy I plunder it of every thing, and to do in one's breast, and the thing which the world history is is tragedy.
Even if I list beautiful just causes one by one so much, I am not different in a human being injuring a person to death.
If there is justice there, it is the silly talk of the winner, and it will be an empty excuse of the losers.


8) Therefore it becomes the union card I completely smash up an enemy, and to have victory in its hand even if it uses the unfair way so much when it does a war.
The man of power must not do the war that involved people without the readiness.
Even if splendid aesthetics hides behind, and there was it so much, a loser is only a loser.
Honor and the racial dignity that a loser lost in the place that barked no matter how much are because I never come back.




The behavior of the large country where it is called Russia to want a reader to memorize it in this chapter is a dance to fall.
I already return it for nearly 70 years, and our country negotiates regarding the four northern Islands, but I played feudal lord negotiations until now, and the territory will never return.
The posture that affected Liaotung return of Russians vividly showed the racial true character, but nothing was able to understand Russian ethnicity because both a politician of our country and a bureaucrat were lacking in study, and the side was sweet.
It will be a point important at all historically why Russia owning a very large territory persisted in China and the Korean Peninsula in.
Russia had to secure a naval port of the non-freeze by all means to have hegemony of the Pacific in its hand.
Current China is similar to composition coming to take Senkaku Islands and the east, the South China Sea.



No.1 大東亜戦争の正体 / Real nature of the Greater East Asia War

日本の開国 / The foundation of a country of Japan


1)1842年にアヘン戦争に於ける支那・清国の敗北があった。
当時の日本政府・江戸幕府はそれまでの異国船に対する強硬姿勢を和らげ、外国籍の船舶に水や食料を手厚く提供する事で、争いごとを起こさず穏便に帰国して貰う懐柔策に切り替えた。
腹の底では開国する考えなど毛頭なかった筈であります。

2)1853年にフィルモア米大統領の命を受けたペリー提督が、黒船艦隊を率いて来航し江戸幕府に開国と通商を迫ったのです。
日本側はその場しのぎに一年の猶予を求めると、翌年ペリー提督は再び黒船で現れ強引に日米和親条約を結んだ。
尚、同年には日英・日露和親条約も締結され日本開国の幕開けとなった。

3)1856年7月になると、アメリカ領事タウンゼント・ハリスが修好通商条約締結のため来日したが、幕府内の権力争いが激しかったし、朝廷も完全に意見が一本化されておらず、天皇からの勅許が下りなかった。
1858年に大老・井伊直弼が日米修好通商条約を結び、英国・仏蘭西・オランダ・ロシアと五か国間でも修好通商条約を締結しました。その間でも多くの尊い命を奪い、激動の波は留まるところを知らぬげに吹き荒れたのである。

4)1859年には函館・横浜・長崎が開港され本格的に貿易が開始され、主な相手国はイギリスでした。
日本からは生糸や茶などを輸出し、毛織物・綿織物・艦船・武器などが大量に輸入されたのです。
なお、続いて新潟と神戸も開港されたが、この安政・五カ国条約は日本には全くの不平等条約だった。

5)この様に明治維新とは黒船に象徴される如く、欧米列強の軍事力による帝国主義への抵抗運動から誕生したと云える。
支那でのアヘン戦争以後、欧米列強の東アジアに対する植民地化がし烈を極め、それを阻もうとする旧来の鎖国体制勢力と、新たな流れを取り込もうとする新勢力との戦いでもあった。

6)しかし江戸幕府は、朝廷の意に反する形で開国・通商路線に傾いた為、抵抗勢力が尊王論者と結び、朝廷の権威を利し、幕政改革と攘夷を実行合体する尊王攘夷論者が生まれ、大きなうねりとなった。
この騒乱期に正義があるとしたら、己の信ずる道を突っ走る以外に方法はなかったのかも知れない。

7)世界の流れが変わる時は得てしてこの様なものであろう。
徳川幕府内にもあちこちに水溜りが出現していたし、国内の至る処で急進派や改革派が、口から泡を吹きながら己の旗を掲げた。
皇室を担ぎ出した薩摩と長州藩の連合軍が、1868年に徳川将軍家を倒し、天皇を中心とする明治政府を樹立したのです。

8)冷めた目で振り返れば、地方の不満を抱える大名家の貧乏侍たちが、積年の不満を新たな潮流で洗い流し、万民に平等な豊かさを配分し様と試みた。
何処の国でも一度は経験する革命です。大義名分や正義は後から幾らでもついてくる。
大切な事は、その思い込みが純粋だったか単なる己の欲望だったかの違いだけであろう。

『 遠き日に新しい時代の風を求めて、龍馬が、小五郎が、晋作が、会津の若者までもが、祖国の為に尊い魂を賭け怒涛の様に駆け抜けていった。

それから100年余りの営みの中で、新たに何百万体もの尊い命の犠牲を積み重ね、日清戦争、日露戦争、世界大戦、そして大東亜戦争を戦い抜いた末に、情けない姿の日本が存在しているのであります。

現代に生きる我々大和の末裔は、これらの英霊に対し奉り、本当に真っすぐな誠心で、淀みなき合掌を捧げる事が出来るのだろうか。』


『 National seclusion and the foundation of a country 』

Because this English sentence is machine translation, please forgive it when a meaning is unidentified.


1) Defeat of China / Shinkoku in the Opium War was in 1,842 years.
The then Japanese Government, Edo Shogunate softened the hard line for the previous foreign ship and changed it to a conciliatory measure to have you go back to the ship of the foreign family register gently without waking up every fight by providing water and food carefully.
There could not be thoughts to open a country at all at the bottom of the stomach.


2) Admiral Perry who received a command of the U.S. President Fillmore in 1853 led a black ship fleet and visited a shore and pressed the Edo Shogunate for the foundation of a country and commerce.
When the Japanese side demanded a postponement of one year temporarily, the Admiral Perry appeared with a black ship again in the next year and bound Japan and the United States sum parent treaty together forcibly.
The Japan and Britain, Japan and Russia sum pro-treaty was concluded in the same year, too and became the opening scene of a play of the foundation of a country in Japan.


3) When it was July, 1856, American consul Townsend Harris visited Japan for the trade agreement conclusion, but a struggle for power in the Shogunate was intense, and Imperial grant from the Emperor did not go down the Imperial Court without opinions being completely unified either.
Chief ministry, Naosuke Ii tied up a Japan-U.S. trade agreement in 1858 and concluded a trade agreement at the U.K., France, Netherlands Russia and the five countries interval, but, meanwhile, I took the holy life of most away, and the wave of the turbulence raged so that intellect and others could take off a place to remain in.


4) Hakodate, Yokohama, Nagasaki was opened a port of in 1859, and trade was started in earnest, and the main other country was the U.K.
I exported raw silk or tea from Japan, and woolen stuff, cotton textiles, vessels, weapons were imported in large quantities.
In addition, Niigata and Kobe were opened a port of successively, too, but this Ansei, Five-Power Treaty was a really unequal treaty in Japan.


5) I can tell you to have been born from resistance movement to the imperialism by the armaments of the European and American Great Powers as if it is symbolized with the Meiji Restoration in this way by a black ship.
After Opium War in China, it was a fight with the new power that I was going to take the old national seclusion system power that colonization for the East Asia of the European and American Great Powers was going to block it fierce を pole and a new flow in.


6) However, because the Edo Shogunate inclined to the foundation of a country, the commerce route in form against will of the Imperial Court, anti-reform forces bound it together with an imperialism debater and benefited authority of the Imperial Court, and the revering the Emperor and expelling the barbarians debater who I carried out shogunal administration reform and exclusion of foreigners, and was united was born, and it was with big undulation.
If there was justice for this turmoil period, there might not be the method unless I raced by one's course to believe.


7) When a world flow changes, I will be often like this.
A puddle appeared in many places in Tokugawa shogunate government and raised one's flag while radicals and a reformist blew on a bubble from a mouth in a domestic place to reach.
I defeated Tokugawa family to inherit the shogunate in 1868, and Satsuma and the Allied Forces of the Choshu feudal clan which carried the Imperial Family established the Meiji government led by the Emperor.


8) Poverty samurais of the large prestigious family which had local dissatisfaction washed away dissatisfaction of the long time by a new tide if I looked back with the mesh which cooled down and I distributed the equal richness into all the people and tried it with a state.
It is a revolution to experience once in country of any place. A just cause and the justice come as many as one likes later.
The belief was pure, or an important thing will be only the difference that was simple one's greed.


『 For the wind of the times when I was new on a far-off day, even a youth of Aizu ran through the soul that was holy for the mother country like a bet surging wave Shinsaku Ryoma Kogoro.

Then Japan of the figure that it is deplorable exists after I pile up the sacrifice of the holy life of millions of in the working of more than 100 years newly and fought out Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, the World War and Greater East Asia War.

I present it for these soul, and may the progeny of we Yamato living in the present age give joining hands without the settlement in really straight honesty? 』
