Chapter 43 Section IX

I've written about "The Downhill Incident" before.At that time, it was judged that President Xiashan was run over by a train, and he definitely did not commit suicide but was murdered.I pointed out in the article that the president was dismissed because he resisted the dismissal of a large number of railway employees, which angered Sagnon, the railway officer in charge of the U.S. General Command, which was the long-term cause of his death. Because Xiashan came from the technical department, he especially loves ordinary employees.Therefore, he tried his best to delay and refuse to implement the large-scale layoff plan hard-handed down by the US General Command.Sagnon couldn't stand it anymore.Why did Sagnon break into the president's residence late at night, threatening him with a pistol dangling from his chest?This is due to the fact that Sagnon still has nowhere to retreat.However, Shimoyama is unaware of Sagnon's true intentions.

Shimoyama simply interpreted the state-owned railway's rectification plan as layoffs based on the economic aspect and in accordance with the "Number of Staff Law".However, the rectification plan implemented under the guise of the "capacity law" actually concealed the combat plan drawn up by the US military to oppose the communist countries in Asia in the future. As mentioned earlier, the Communist Party of China has begun to govern the whole of China, and the Soviet Union is becoming stronger and stronger.In order to deal with this situation, Japan's transportation system must be constantly in a state of being able to move at will.Therefore, even a small number of communists among the national railway employees can cause trouble.In particular, there must not be a single member of the Communist Party or a person who supports the Communist Party on the railway from the northeast to the entire area of ​​Hokkaido, which is facing the Soviet Union across the sea. Otherwise, in case of emergency, if they launch a sabotage strike, the transportation will be disrupted. a major obstacle to combat.

According to the so-called "Nine Economic Principles", other enterprises decided to rectify under the pretext of "management rationalization". There was considerable pressure on the Willoughby Thousand at the Ministry of Intelligence.There is also a saying that the "counterintelligence team" detected Sagnon's scandal (it was because of his scandal that Sagnon stepped down later), and used it as an excuse to attack him and exert strong pressure on him.Sagnon himself was cornered, so he couldn't wait to break into the house of the disobedient Xiashan president late at night.Fortunately, Xiashan didn't know this kind of inside story.

The plot to eliminate Xiashan and blame the Communists had a double effect.The struggle against the dismissals at the state railways evaporated as the authorities propagated that the incident was the work of Communists.In the words of Kagayama, the vice president at the time, because of this incident, the state-owned railway’s rectification plan was successfully carried out, so from the results point of view, Shimoyama’s death is not meaningless. (Refer to "The President of Xiashan National Railway was murdered") Speaking of it, at that time, the departments of the US system had frequently interfered in the Fukushima area.

Kyodo News also reported the following situation.There is an educational hall outside Fukushima City, where the Military and Political Department of the US Army was located at that time.When the first list of personnel was announced on July 4, the union members of the Koriyama Locomotive Depot expressed their firm refusal to accept the dismissal order and arranged pickets.Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Clark, the commander of the Military and Political Department, came to Koriyama and asked the command team to point their pistols and rifles at the union chairman standing at the front of the picket line.When the chairman saw the muzzle of the pistol stuck in his chest, he fainted on the spot, and the dismissal was enforced.From this example, it can be inferred that the Military and Political Department has absolute power over the local police and county hall.The County Labor Affairs Bureau has to report to them every day.In the event of an incident, police officers must first report the situation to the Ministry of Military Affairs and Fukushima's "counterintelligence team."

The Fukushima "counterintelligence team" is also conducting secret activities in the prefecture together with the military and political departments.At that time, the "counterintelligence team" in this area had just completed the investigation of the old soldiers. From around the 23rd year of the Showa era, they were keen to deal with the Communist Party's tactics. When the "Songchuan incident" occurred, Major Andrew, the captain of the "counterintelligence team", repeatedly emphasized to the police officers who went to report that it was a crime committed by the Communist Party.According to Kyodo News, as long as it is related to the "Matsukawa incident", the "counterintelligence team" in the Northeast Military Region and the headquarters of the "counterintelligence team" in Tokyo have indeed expressed abnormal concern.

However, if the "Matsukawa incident" is related to the US military, it is not just the "counterintelligence team".It stands to reason that the CIA must be involved.Because the bureau has a sabotage squad, and the bureau went to Japan to establish a site in 1949.The October 6, 1954 issue of Stone's Weekly published the following report on the CIA by Stone: "The tendency to see the CIA actively becoming a 'covert State Department' is more than fully borne out by the agency's own boasting. The Saturday Evening Post ran three serials entitled "The CIA's "Unusual Operations," an official side-view of the CIA with the tacit approval of the CIA. The article pointed out that the Arbenz regime in Guatemala, the Farouk regime in Egypt, and the Mossadegh regime in Iran were overthrown , all to the credit of the CIA. And it was not the use of the Marine Corps to subvert these governments, but the use of secret agencies, sabotage, etc. The other method of operation of the Agency is sabotage-neither diplomatic The means are also non-military espionage. In addition to the espionage network and the Bureau's public investigative services, the Bureau also commands a top-secret third column. Or in other countries - where disaffected elements can engage in illegal activities, that is, The resistance there was small but courageous - the CIA sent a team from the sabotage squad to go up the iron bridges of the railway supply lines and blow them up. In this case, lives were lost and equipment destroyed. This is the secret war that the United States usually wages against countries that have friendly relations and maintain normal diplomatic relations.”

If the content of Stone's report is combined with the "Matsukawa Incident", it seems to coincide exactly.
