Railways, Dams, and Public Buildings—The Vast Assets Japan Built on the Korean Peninsula
2016/1/30
The following is a continuation of the preceding chapter.
What awaits them is the utmost anger of the great figures Japan has produced throughout recorded history; there is no doubt, for example, that Nobunaga and Hideyoshi would cut them down.
As an aside, it is also a historical fact that Hirobumi Ito, who was assassinated at Harbin Station because, in his later years, he had accepted a request to become Governor-General of Korea (he was a person well versed in world affairs even by the standards of the world at that time—in other words, a great man), opposed annexation out of concern, saying, “What would be the point of annexing such a poor country…?”
It was precisely because Japan and Korea became an annexed state—a country integrated with Japan—that enormous sums from the national budget were invested and vast infrastructure was built.
(Railways, dams, various public buildings, and countless other enormous assets.)
As a result of undertaking, all at once, infrastructure investment that could fairly be described as unprecedented in history, the Korean Peninsula, which had been one of the poorest countries in the world, was rapidly modernized.
In other words, integration with mainland Japan was pursued.
To acquire these enormous Japanese assets for nothing by taking advantage of Japan’s defeat,
South Korea (the Korean Peninsula) not only resorted to every conceivable sophistry but also began conducting anti-Japanese education that concealed all the truth and was built on lies from A to Z.
Their persistence becomes immediately apparent if one searches the Internet.
For example, even if one searches for the assets Japan invested in Korea, nothing should come up.
Why are there so few Japanese people who know that their lies are so thorough in order to conceal the fact that they acquired these enormous assets for nothing?
It is because the majority of Japanese people grew up subscribing to Asahi and similar newspapers and watching television broadcast by their subsidiary television stations.
