Easy Tycoon

Chapter 874
Ge Ge’s question is not unreasonable. Even after World War II ended more than 70 years ago, this question is still difficult to answer.

But looking at his daughter-in-law's angry look, Yang Jing knew that she had to give her an answer today, otherwise this girl who likes to dig into the horns of certain issues would not be able to sleep tonight.

Yang Jing patted Grid on the back lightly, and asked with a smile: "Do you really want to hear the answer? But this answer may be cruel. If you know, I'm afraid you will be even angrier."

Gege looked at Yang Jing, nodded and said, "My husband, I know you are doing it for my own good. Although I don't know much about the history of this area, I also know that the answer may make me angrier, but I still want to know. Compared with Out of curiosity, I would rather be angry. If I am angry, you will coax me, and I will become happy in the end. But if I don’t know the answer, I will be so curious that I can’t sleep all night, and then I will toss you .”

Well, this reason is strong enough, Yang Jing raised his hands high and surrendered.

"Well, since you want to know about this, let me tell you about it. First of all, if you want to find out why so many countries in South America accepted Japanese war criminals after the war, you have to start with relations between South America and Germany."

"Among the many countries in South America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and other countries have received Japanese war criminals, but the country that has received the most Japanese war criminals is Argentina."

"From the end of the war to the early 50s, 150 terrorists have been found to have sneaked into Argentina. For example, Martin Bowman just mentioned. Although this guy eventually died in Paraguay, he is now living in seclusion in Argentina. It took a while to come to Paraguay. In addition to Martin Baumann, there are also Joseph Mengele, nicknamed the "Angel of Death", who was a senior official of the German SS and a doctor in the Auschwitz concentration camp; Adolf Eichmann, who was nicknamed the "Executor of the Death Penalty" and the main executor of the Jewish Holocaust. Many of these terrorist war criminals were later dug out, but most of them lived by changing their names. Xiaoyao, some of these war criminals are already dead, and many are still at large. It was not until May 1998 that Dingko Shakic and his wife, who had lived in seclusion in Argentina for 5 years, were arrested!"

Gege's eyes widened, apparently not believing what Yang Jing said.

Yang Jing smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "Actually, when I first saw these materials, I didn't quite believe them, but the fact is that they are so thrilling and unbelievable. And the reason for this situation is that there are There are many reasons, the first is historical reasons."

"Argentina has been one of the main immigration destinations for Europeans after the United States since the second half of the nineteenth century. Unlike Brazil, Paraguay and other South American countries where mixed races account for a large share, Argentina95 % are white immigrants! Moreover, the immigrants to Argentina are mainly from Italy, Spain and the Catholic regions of Central and South Europe in Germany, so traditionally Argentina and the Axis countries have always had very close ties, and the government relations between the two sides are also very close Good. At the end of the 30s, one-fifth of the Argentine population was of German and Italian descent, of which about 25 were of German descent. So anti-Semitism in Argentina was very serious at that time.”

"Moreover, the Argentine nationalist thinking in the 40s and [-]s was active and loose, and it was very in tune with the political thinking. Therefore, among Argentine intellectuals and military officers, there was a strong tendency towards nationalism, anti-imperialism, and anti-oligarchy. They He believed that Germany could become an ally hostile to British and American imperialism. So in that time period alone, there were more than [-] anti-Japanese organizations and more than [-] anti-Japanese partisans in Argentina."

"Daughter-in-law, do you know Veron?"

"Veron? Are you talking about the Argentinian midfielder Juan Veron with the nickname 'White Wizard'? I like that star."

Yang Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and finally raised his hands and said, "Well, your interrupting skills are getting more and more proficient now!"

Gege smiled and pushed Yang Jing, "Haha, silly husband, I am teasing you. Of course I know Veron, except for the bald star named Juan Veron, the Argentine post-war big. I also know Juan Veron, the declarant. And I also know that guy has three wives, two of which are great. I forgot the name of this guy's first wife, but her nickname is I You know, Mrs. Veron, a very famous artist, she sang "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". As for that guy's third wife, Isabel Veron is even more powerful, the world's first female president Ah! So, this Veron is much better than that bald star."

Yang Jing smiled and gave Ge Ge a thumbs up.

"Speaking of the fact that after the war, most war criminals fled to Argentina, it also has a great relationship with this Veron. Because the Veron government at that time, especially Veron himself had a considerable degree of sympathy for the idea of ​​​​the Communist Party, and The Argentine government also implemented an anti-Semitic policy at that time. At the same time, Germany had close contacts with the Argentine government during World War II and promised to provide Argentina with a large number of trade opportunities after the war. Therefore, with the acquiescence of the great dictator Veron Only then will there be so many Chinese war criminals fleeing to Argentina."

After a pause, Yang Jing continued to explain: "In 1939, Veron served as the military attache of the Argentine embassy in Italy. During this period, he visited Germany and Spain more than once. He established a strong foundation in the cooperation with Italy, Germany and the Franco regime in Spain. Therefore, when Latin American countries broke off diplomatic relations and declared war on the Axis powers, only Argentina maintained diplomatic relations with the Axis powers until shortly before the end of World War II. Peron had no choice but to avoid being liquidated by the Allies. He didn't declare war on Germany and Italy, but he still kept his ties privately and felt sorry for the remnants of the Communist Party. Therefore, it was expected to accept and even privately help the fleeing Communist Party members after the war. Moreover, there are many scientists and big plutocrats among these fleeing Communist Party members, and Peron also I want to take this opportunity to open up Argentina's economic, military and technological level. In the 50s, a series of weapons that Argentina tried to develop were joined by German scientists, ranging from jet fighters to mushroom bombs. Not only Argentina, but also Chile at that time adopted A lot of raped war criminals, similar situations also happened in countries such as Brazil and Paraguay."

"That's why so many Japanese war criminals fled to South America after the war! Do you understand?"

This answer is helpless, but also very realistic.As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies or friends in this world, only permanent interests.Interests between countries are still the top priority, and Argentina has taken in so many Japanese war criminals for the sake of their talents and wealth. Strictly speaking, this is really not right or wrong.

After World War II, not only the United States, but even the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and other allied countries desperately recruited German experts from their own countries. Isn't this a disguised way of taking in Japanese war criminals?

Don't think that those experts are not guilty. On the contrary, the weapons made by those experts' minds and hands are the root of the development of World War II. Therefore, the crimes of those so-called experts are actually no worse than Hitler, Ge Lin, Hillman, Martin Bowman and the like are so few war criminals!
Gege nodded helplessly. Although she felt uncomfortable, this kind of thing was really unstoppable.In the face of national interests, all crimes can be covered up!
However, Grid still had a question in her heart, so she asked: "The Allied blockade of Germany after the war was very strict, but how could those criminal executioners escape from Germany and then cross the Atlantic to Argentina? If there is no special The route, these executioners may not be able to do this, right?"

Yang Jing nodded and said: "That's right, the reason why these Japanese war criminals were able to escape from Germany to South America is that there are indeed some special escape routes. The name of these routes in English is called 'ratline'. Coming here is the 'rat route'!"

"Rat route? Hehe, it's really quite vivid. Aren't those Japanese war criminals after the war like a group of shady mice?" Ge Ge's mood began to improve a little bit.

Yang Jing also smiled, and then explained: "Actually, the mouse route was not used to prevent war criminals from escaping at the beginning, but was created by the Holy See in the Vatican to open up a convenient channel for European Catholics to immigrate to the New World in South America." Established. As early as 1942, some senior priests from Germany and Italy contacted the Argentine government to discuss the establishment of a 'fast track' for Catholic immigration between the European continent and Argentina."

"Shortly afterwards, Anton Weber, a priest from Germany, came to South America from Germany through Spain and Portugal, and based on his route, he opened up the first 'Rat Route', namely the 'Spanish Mouse Route' Later, because of the close relationship between the Catholic Church and the Argentine government, and the close personnel exchanges between different church personnel and the Argentine government, several other "rat routes" were established through communication with other church personnel, mainly It is through Italy to South America, so these passages of people are also known as the 'Roman rat routes'."

"Because the Vatican was an ally of Germany and Italy during the war, or was controlled by Germany and Italy, these routes became the escape routes for the remnants of the Communist Party after the war, and the most used one was by Croatia. The "San Girolamo Rat Line" established by the Franciscan Catholic Church. This line was established in the early days for the escape of officials from the Croatian puppet regime supported by Germany during World War II. The main route of escape. At that time, these Croatian priests set up the headquarters of the operating line at the University of San Girolamo in Rome, Italy. They had their people from Austria to Genoa, Italy all the way to meet the fugitives, forming a complete escape industry chain .”

Gege took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly again and said: "These guys are so powerful, they have already considered how to escape, is this considered to be planning for defeat before winning?"

After finishing speaking, Gege himself was amused by his own words, and then asked: "Yang Jing, where did you know so many things?"

Yang Jing pointed to the big box in front of him, and said with a bitter face: "Here, have you seen these materials? These materials are only one-fifth of all the materials. I have been studying these materials for a long time. Yes, of course I know these things."

"Then you were so excited just now, did you discover some new clues?" Gege came over excitedly, treasure hunting or something, this girl is also full of interest.

"Well, it's about the same, but I can't confirm the authenticity of this clue, so, daughter-in-law, do you have time to accompany your husband to South America?" Yang Jing sent out an invitation with a smile.
