Chapter 22 Section 21

It is said that the U.S. General Command has greatly carried out research on bacterial technology in Japan because of the retention of relevant personnel.The claim that the United States used bacteriological weapons extensively in the Korean War is now almost conclusive.In the United States, research on germ warfare has also begun.What kind of research this institution is doing can also be seen from the report made by Joe Wu Mark in 1946 (later he served as the chairman of the U.S. Bacterial Weapons Committee, and was appointed Secretary of the Army because of his contribution to improving bacteriological weapons) Very clear.

According to this report, the research work on bacteriological weapons has been developed by leaps and bounds and has been transferred to the management of the US Army Chemical Research Institute.The central research institution of the Institute is located in Camp Dietrich, a suburb of Frederick, Maryland, also known as the "Department of Special Projects". It is said that more than 3,600 people worked here during World War II.In addition, the U.S. Navy has also set up a bacterial weapons research institute directly under the University of California.These institutions spend up to $50 million on research.Just three months before the outbreak of the Korean War, on March 31, 1950, Secretary of Defense Lewis Johnson presented his annual report to the President.One of the paragraphs states: "Comprehensive and detailed research on most infectious pathogens is being carried out in humans, domestic animals, and grains. However, from the perspective of national defense, it is unwise to publish this research publicly."

The April 1950 issue of "Military Review" published a paper on the use of bacteriological weapons, which stated: "The infection must be very difficult to treat, and the course of infection must be indeterminate. No matter what There must be no possibility of medical immunity in any part, and it is best to make the infected person unresponsive to any chemical treatment." In March 1951, Hayes, the director of the U.S. Institute of Health, openly declared: "The shells and bombs of microorganisms have been successfully manufactured and reached the stage of being usable." According to the published records in this regard, the situation is as follows:

The U.S. military began conducting germ warfare in 1950 when the United Nations retreated from North Korea.At that time, they spread bacteria in Pyongyang City, South Pyongan Province, North Pyongan Province and other places they passed through, which caused the epidemic of smallpox.By the end of April 1951, more than 3,500 cases had been discovered, and 10 percent of the patients died.1,126 cases were found in Gangwon Province, 817 cases in South Hamgyong Province, and 602 cases in Hwanghae Province.Smallpox was not prevalent in areas that the US military did not pass through. I also heard that in March 1951, when the No. 1091 bacterial landing craft of the U.S. Army was moored at Wonsan Port on the east coast of North Korea, experiments were carried out on the captive Korean and Chinese people inside the boat.Regarding this matter, the American "Newsweek" published on April 9 reported:

"Plague is prevalent among the communist army, and this terrible disease may be transmitted to the United Nations army. This landing craft is carrying medical research equipment and animals for experiments."
