"Why do the world know that the Romans massacred 150,000 people in Carthage, the Catholic army started a massacre in Spanish religious courts, Timur executed 100,000 prisoners in Delhi, and built two bone towers in Syria with the skulls of these prisoners. They also know that Germany *** carried out a massacre on Jews during World War II, and knew that the Soviets died and injured countless times in the Patriotic War, as well as Poles and Gypsies, but why are there almost no one in the world remembering the Nanjing Holocaust that is far more cruel than these?"

Lin Qingxia talked about her confusion. She had been to many countries, but she had never heard foreigners talk about the Nanjing Massacre, nor had she read any book that recorded even a single word about the Nanjing Massacre.

Just as Qiao Feng said, it seems that the whole world has forgotten the catastrophe that once happened in the city of Nanjing.

But, how could this happen?

This is not a normal thing at all.

Because, the number of casualties in the Nanjing Massacre alone exceeded the total number of civilian casualties in some European countries throughout World War II.

Even the total number of civilian casualties in the two major European countries, Britain and France, is only half of the number of victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

Such a tragedy on earth, hundreds of thousands of people were brutally massacred. Normally, in any country, it would cause a sensation in the world and shock the whole world.

But the fact is so incredible.

The Japanese atrocities in Nanjing are so little-known in the world.

Unlike Japan's atomic bomb attack and Jews' massacres in Europe, people outside Asia almost do not know about the Nanjing Massacre, let alone the cruelty and horror of the massacre.

Why?

Lin Qingxia didn't understand.

Qiao Feng didn't understand it before.

If you are not prepared to film the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling, Qiao Feng will not be able to answer Lin Qingxia's question.

However, Qiao Feng can now give his own opinions based on previous investigations and data and analysis.

If the Japanese were deliberately erasing all traces of the Nanjing Massacre, then European and American countries were deliberately forgetting the Nanjing Massacre.

Most of the historical documents published in the United States ignore this historical event, and only a few of the history textbooks in American high schools briefly mention the Nanjing Massacre.

In the full version and authoritative version of the historical works on World War II, almost no book describes the Nanjing Massacre in detail.

For example, the history of traditional American pictures: World War II, this is the best-selling single-volume World War II picture history book in the United States for many years. It not only does not include a picture of the Nanjing Massacre, but also does not mention the incident itself.

No matter Churchill's 1,065-page classic World War II memoirs, or Henry Michel's 947-page classic World War II, there is no single word about the Nanjing Massacre.

In the world of Gerhard Weinberg's 1178-page huge war, there are only two references to the Nanjing Massacre like a flash.

This made Spielberg, who had read a lot of information about shooting Jinling Thirteen Flowers, feel the same confusion.

He searched through European and American information about World War II, and found a true and specific argument about the Nanjing Holocaust in Robert Lecky's 998-page book Get rid of evil: The legend of World War II, but there is only one sentence: "Compared with the Japanese soldiers under Matsui Ishione, any ugly behavior that shamed his victory was pale in comparison to the Japanese soldiers under Matsui Ishikone.

Why are too many people in the world not aware of the Nanjing Massacre?

Why don’t even pay enough attention to the Nanjing Massacre in the academic community?

Is it because the victims remain silent?

Yes, of course there is such a factor.

Of course, it is because of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, the survivors did not know the whole world that they were slaughtered like the Jews and Japanese people, and they were bombed by the atomic bomb.

But it is more because of the political manipulation of European and American countries.

Have the victims of the Nanjing Massacre ever spoke out?

There must be some.

However, under the struggle between all parties, no one heard their call, or no one cared about it, or even deliberately concealed and ignored it.

"The Nanjing Massacre was ignored by the world, which can be traced back to the end of World War II, and the Japanese surrendered." Qiao Feng explained to Lin Qingxia.

"World War II ended?" Lin Qingxia was very surprised.

"Yes." Qiao Feng nodded and continued: "You know that the United States now has garrisons in Japan. But do you know that China should have garrisons in Japan as well."

"China is stationed in Japan?" Lin Qingxia was even more surprised. Can China be stationed in Japan? She has never heard her father mention this.

"You heard it right, it was garrisoning troops in Japan. As a victorious country, China should have sent troops to Japan like the United States. Even the National Government at that time had already sent advance troops to Japan. However, in order to fight the civil war, Chang Kaishen actually transferred a telegram to the country and sent an elite reorganized division who was originally scheduled to be stationed in Japan to the civil war battlefield. "When he said this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but curse: "What a fucking country, the nation's sinner."

After scolding Qiao Feng, he continued to say with anger: "It is precisely because there was no garrison in Japan that Japan can now blatantly deny the Nanjing Massacre or even the war of aggression against China. What's more, they can even turn black and white to describe Japan as a victim. If the garrison was stationed in the past, there would be no such thing."

Chang Kaishen's failure to garrison troops in Japan was a big mistake.

As for the exemption of Japan's war reparations...oh, this is unspeakable.

Anyway, the person has his own considerations.

Whether Japan really can’t afford to lose money or to create its own image as a big country, our leaders are wise and far-sighted.

This compensation will not be fine.

"Yes, if China wants to station troops in Japan like the United States, Japan will definitely not dare to turn black and white, let alone become extremely rampant right-wing forces now. I remember that last year there seemed to be a report that the mayor of Nagasaki City was shot by the right-wing forces and almost killed him." Lin Qingxia deeply thought about it and gave an example.

"Yes." Qiao Feng also read this news. He still remembers that the mayor of Nagasaki City is called Honshima.

Why was this island shot?

Just because he once said that Emperor Showa should bear some responsibility for World War II, he angered the right-wingers in Japan.

From this we can see that in Japan, if you publicly express your true views on the Sino-Japanese War, it will threaten your own security.

This threat has been around since the end of World War II and will surely continue in the future.

"The terror atmosphere in Japan suppressed the free and open academic discussion of the Nanjing Massacre, and further hindered the world's understanding of the truth. You said that if the Japanese do not admit it themselves, and we do not say it themselves, then who can remember those who died in the Nanjing Massacre, rely on Europe and the United States? They all hope that Japan can restrain us, how can it touch Japan's sensitive nerves?"
