Chapter 208: Forty Years of Blood Feud in the Republic (Part 3)
These are civilians, aren't they?!
If these were dead soldiers, then Japan could find an excuse and say it was combat casualties, but these were massacres targeting civilians, stretching from 1894 all the way to 1934.
A full forty years of massacres and atrocities.
It completely refreshed the understanding of Blue Star netizens.
Just imagine.
From 1894 to 1935, Japan hadn't even fully invaded Huaxia Land and had already caused so many atrocities. One could only imagine what Japan would do next.
No wonder the Polestar Official Website doesn't open the [Republic] storyline in [World War II].
Compared to Japan, the Imperial doesn't even seem that brutal.
Because compared to Japan, the Empire only caused 340 deaths in the Lidice massacre, orchestrated by Heydrich's assassination (International Children's Day origin).
And Japan?
Just from 1894 to 1934, the massacres resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Let alone after the invasion in 1937.
(Only the incomplete data of 1937)
Only now do Blue Star netizens understand why Huaxia, as a whole, holds such hatred against Japan. This isn't just one or two wars.
But a 40-year-long peeping and slaughter.
Even just looking at the numbers in those documents is shocking.
The figures are laden with blood debts.
Many Blue Star netizens are also experiencing this data for the first time and find it incredible.
These crimes.
Any single one of them would be enough to incite eternal hatred in another country.
The livestream's comments were silent for a moment, then erupted like a tidal wave:
[Damn! I thought those human bombs in World War II were already as brutal as it gets, didn't expect even worse!]
[At least the Empire publicly repented after defeat, but Japan keeps denying it, right?]
[My hands are shaking... damn!]
[Finally understand the saying 'Should the 400 million Chinese be angered?' When faced with such blood debts, the Western powers still ceded Shandong to Japan, who wouldn't hate that?]
[No wonder in those CGs, students get emotional when mentioning Japan, this blood debt is too heavy, who can let go of this history?]
[Stifling, why didn't I hear this information before, has Europe been downplaying it all along?]
Looking at the comments in the livestream, Gao Bo also showed a heavy expression as he looked at the files in his hand.
Was someone always downplaying it?
Indeed.
Because even when the Times couldn't hold back anymore, they only wrote that the Japanese Army was recklessly killing and arson, sparing neither the old, young, nor women, without mentioning casualties.
The filth between Japan and Western countries needs no elaboration.
After all, neither side is entirely clean.
It was like this even before 1937, one can only imagine after 1937, during the time leading up to World War II when the world's attention was on Europe.
The Blue Star netizens now had a clearer understanding of Japan's brutality.
This wasn't just a matter of a few short years.
But a decades-long peeping of Huaxia Land starting from 1894, where generations of Japanese people were fervently aiming to occupy Huaxia.
Perhaps the Japanese soldier who participated in the 1915 massacre was the descendant of a Japanese soldier from the 1894 Lushun massacre.
Perhaps the Japanese soldier in the 1934 Yilan massacre was the descendant of that 1915 massacre participant... just think about it.
And perhaps the descendants of those who were involved in the 1934 massacre.
Would, in the future, say lightly, 'Is it necessary to always bring up the past? What era is it now....'
A nauseating and chilling picture.
Just the thought of it sends shivers down the spines of Blue Star netizens.
Because according to their understanding of the 'Earth' in the [game], the Blue Star netizens feel that these Japanese might really do such things.
And the footage from Gao Bo's livestream was also edited into a video, uploaded to the game forum.
The discussion about Japan's crimes instantly stirred a huge wave in Blue Star's player forums.
Because these records are simply too inhumane.
Many players started at various time points, ready to see if these events truly happened.
