The following is from this week's issue of the famous column which Takayama Masayuki, who is the one and only journalist in the postwar world, is serializing on the Weekly Shincho.
I am emphasizing the sentence except the headline.
The Japanese army was great.
Japan made excellent passenger planes such as Mitsubishi MC 20 in the 1935s and was flying a regular flight to Taiwan until Palau, from the end of Manchuria.
Since England and France were in Rangoon and Bangkok, Japan also wanted to connect there with European flights.
But that hope was refused.
The plane was a symbol of Caucasian force.
If colonial people oppose, for example in French Indochina the bomber Potez flew and did machine-gun fire to the people.
The Caucasian is God, and the vehicle was an airplane.
When a yellow Japanese plane flew in such a place white authority faded at once, the people at the colony begin to make noise seriously this time.
So, it did not enter the Japanese aircraft.
Only Portuguese Timor admitted getting in.
In the native of nothing but a loincloth, even if it acted violently, suppression was very easy.
So, the Imperial Japanese Airways plane flew to the capital Dili via Palau.
The day the second flight was flying was the day of Pearl Harbor attack.
Below is the former NHK reporter Shinji Yamashita who was a local garrison member.
Australia and the Dutch army swiftly attacked Dili and detained 22 people of Imperial Japanese Airways who were in service.
On the Japanese side, with the consent of Portugal, it first bring the Dutch Timor under Japanese control and entered Dili, and rescued the Japanese.
Australia and the Dutch army run away all directions.
An unexpected situation occurred here.
In Dutch Timor of adjoining, white people were kicked out and the colonial people were free.
Taxation and whips were gone, but on the east side Portuguese stay on, half-blood like Ramos-Horta they had brought up by indigenous people was still swinging whips.
The colonial people made a disturbance, a white and a half‐blood were attacked.
The colonial government appealed to the Japanese army to maintain security, and the Japanese army responded to the condition to quit the harsh tax to the colonial people.
The colonial people were pleased.
So ‘We heard that the scouting party of the Australian army infiltrated from a distant village’ (Yamashita).
Villagers with bamboo spears cooperated with Japanese army and captured five Australian army near the Laleia River at the end of the gun battle.
One villager was killed in battle.
After that, the Japanese side cooperated with the Australian soldiers to send a fake telegone that made one battalion's garrison look like a major force of about 10 divisions, and at the same time airborne tobacco, whiskey and medical items in the dark.
The Australian side was totally deceived and gave up the military capture of East Timor.
The last communication was ‘Rejoice, August 8, Japan surrendered.’
The Japanese side returned the heartfelt gratitude to various information and gifts with the name of the military commander and sent Australian soldiers who restrained through Surabaya.
The Australian side does not want to talk much about this matter.
There was no harassment war criminal court, all of them were able to return safely.
I asked why NHK did not program this wonderful Japanese Army Information Warfare in Yamashita who retired from NHK and was a teacher of Showa Women's University.
Yamashita was laughing lonely, 'Japanese Army was determined to be bad at NHK.'
However, even those in East Timor have some people who are bothered by the fact that the Japanese military is a good person as it is against to the Tokyo court historical perspective.
Only a lie is good, Goto Kenichi Waseda University emeritus professor wrote in the Asahi Shimbun ‘Japanese army killed 40,000 local people.’
Yoichi Funabashi of editor in chief gave a stupid article saying, 'So Japan pays compensation.'
Aiko Kurasawa of Keio University writes that Japanese army plundered.
What thing did we steal from the people of nothing but a loincloth?
A certain Kato of National Institutes for the Humanities also writes 'It forcefully occupied that island and made Portugal uncomfortable', (Voice magazine).
It does not even know the fact that the Japanese Army was solicited security maintenance from the colonial government.
They assume that Japan is to be avoided.
The other day, I went swimming in the sea of East Timor to wash the dirty ears with such a stupid scholar's saying.
The Japanese army caught the Australian scouting party with local people also went to Kai Bada village.
I also went to Kai Bada village where the Japanese army caught the Australian scouting party with local people.
The sideways that the military used for storage remained intact.
I also stand and saw the Laleia River where the Australian Army 's B 24, which never knew of a fake telegraph and dropped Lucky Strike.
Everywhere people in the area surrounded us with the same smile probably as before.
I understood that the Japanese army was strong, and kind hearted.
