I bought and read Fleming’s book after your video last year and am glad you’ve come back to it.
Oh my god, it being Ian Flemming's brother took me off guard because the entire time the way the lines were being narrated made me think of "I'd never go entirely Japanese" from You Only Live Twice.
Would love to learn more about this guy's time in Manchuria. Honestly any stories about the life in Manchuria, I would read or listen to. I find it quite sad that some ethnic cultures are either ignored or are mostly overshadowed by the Han Chinese culture.
He has a book it’s called one’s travels
What do you mean? The predominant population that lived during Japanese rule of Machuria WAS Han Chinese.
1:41 "Although he advanced on me on a manner which *might* be interpreted as *menacing* "
He’s definitely british..
Right before WW2 the Germans were training the Chinese too. People expecting stuff to be the opposite of how it panned out in the war. "Enemy of my Enemy" basically.
funny germany attacked poland which was japans ally while japan attacked china which was Germanys ally
@@NeostormXLMAX While Netherlands that was occupied by Germany, declared war on Japan when they took possession of Dutch East Indies
How tf does Jazby know all of these ridiculous and obscure stories?
This guy must be the most well read man in history in the world.
Even when he’s complimenting them, it feels patronizing; how perfectly, stereotypically British
If you want it to be every compliment can be patronizing. It sounded like a far assessment.
It's the British accent
@@robertortiz-wilson1588
Depends on which British accent
you're talking about as there are
many different varieties
Is it just me or is this relation so stereotypically British it almost sounds like a parody?
PS. Happy New Year everyone!
Happy new year!
My ancestor was a British military advisor for the Japanese imperial army (between ww1/ww2). It seems Japanese and British soldiers respected each other a lot during that period. My family still has a bunch of traditional departing gifts that the Japanese officers gave him when he departed Japan (No weapons). It is a little disturbing thinking that he may have trained soldiers who later committed war crimes.
Britain became the protector of Japan not out of love but rather as part of The Great Game in order to contain Russia
Therefore Britain helped Japan first with industrialisation and later in assisting them in building a modern military
I Love the way he writes
I subscribed this channel a long time ago, but I had such a trouble to understand the accent of its owner that I never watched new videos. Such a good surprise to see that there are subtitles now. The narration on this one is great.
Are you an English speaker? Cuz im not and i can understand it perfectly. Maybe speaking English as a native tongue makes it harder?
@@jjdelft3216 Nope, I’m an American and I understand it just fine, however some native languages make understanding certain accents harder than others
There is? Are you referring to the auto-translated ones? I am partially deaf so it would help.
I’ve really come to enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
Good stuff🙂
Sounds like this Englishman is modifying the story to make him look more cool.
You should always expect that in primary sources, historians even give more weight to claims that embarrass the author in some cases.
It sounds like you have never slayed a crusader
@@jerrymiller9039 I did slayed many wanna be ones
@@slayerofcrusadersandsmallh6404 You have never slayed anyone and never will
@@jerrymiller9039
*Who asked though ?*
Oh yeah no one
Your title suggests that he had joined the Japanese Army. The video doesn't appear to support this. Would 'A Brit with the Japanese Army' be a better title?
Can't argue with that... this is my failed attempt at encouraging people to click ha.
@@JabzyJoe failed.?!!! I clicked fast!
@@JabzyJoe nothing wrong with being a little click baitey, I still enjoyed the video!
@@JabzyJoe its very dishonest, like any true historian
Underrated channel
WW1 they were the "good" guys, so I could see this happening.
Feliz año nuevo
There he is, our man in Japan
Happy New Year again in 48ish hours!
10:04 I will never use the word "wave" again, instead I'm gonna say that something "is agitated to and fro"
Operation Ichi-Go is an operation conducted by the Japanese Army on the Chinese mainland from April 17th to December 10th, 1944 during the Sino-Japanese War.
It was the last major offensive of the Japanese Army, which caused the National Revolutionary Army to be hit hard and affected during the Chinese Civil War. However, on the other hand, the United States is also mediating the conclusion of the Double Tenth Agreement with Chiang Kai-shek in order to avoid a civil war.
According to a study by Barbara W. Tuchman, the results of this operation had a more significant impact on the subsequent war situation than the Japanese had imagined, and had a decisive impact on Japan's fate. According to it, Franklin Roosevelt has consistently strongly trusted and supported Chiang Kai-shek since the beginning of the war, and encouraged him in the war against Japan so that he would not drop out of the Allies in a single peace with Japan during the Cairo Conference. However, he said that he changed his mind because the front of Chiang Kai-shek collapsed due to this operation. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has not been invited to important Allied conferences ("Yalta Conference" and "Potsdam Conference") since then.
According to the Stilwell document, Roosevelt said, "Can China win?" Stilwell said, "There is no choice but to eliminate Chiang Kai-shek." During the 1944 Hengyang battle, he could not sleep at night and twice. He says he thought about suicide. The American side also planned to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, and three methods of "poisoning", "aircraft incident", and "pretending to be suicide" were considered, but it was canceled in 1944 due to changes in the international situation such as Burma. The successor that the United States envisioned is Sun Fountain.
As Roosevelt's Chief of Staff George Marshall and General Joseph Stilwell have long insisted, Chiang Kai-shek's army is actually a demoralized and corrupt organization that does not form an army. It became clear that he had no desire or ability to fight with the United States and other Allied forces.
As a result, President Roosevelt changed the scenario of the operation against Japan from the conventional bombing of Japan and other countries from the air bases of mainland China to the one that MacArthur and others claimed to occupy the islands of the Pacific Ocean one after another.
China was dismissed at the Yalta Conference, and the Allied nation's footsteps were disturbed, with angry Chiang Kai-shek presenting a peace plan to Japan against the will of the United States.
In the Japan-US negotiations, Japan's allegations were peace by the confluence of Wang Jingwei of the Nanjing government and Chiang Kai-shek of the Chongqing government, and a proposal for defense from communism jointly by Japan and China. The US allegation was the withdrawal of Japanese troops from China, admitting only the Chongqing government. The negotiations broke down and the United States stopped oil, resulting in a war between Japan and the United States.
The Japanese Operation Ichi-Go attack left the National Revolutionary Army with 750,000 casualties. This caused the Kuomintang to lose to the Communist Party in the civil war. China would not have been dominated by the dictatorship Communist Party if it had made peace with Japan and cooperated in protecting it from communism.
Apparently, historians today consider Tuchman's work unreliable. I have heard them call it outdated and that she was remarkably uncritical of Stilwell.
@@aze94 Boxer Rebellion by China's xenophobia declared war on Europe, the United States and Japan, and China was defeated and an international treaty was signed. The Japanese troops were stationed to protect the Japanese who are staying in China in accordance with the international treaties that Japan and Europe and the United States have signed with China, and the Japanese residents. However, the Chinese army slaughtered Japanese residents and started a war against the Japanese army. The purpose of Japan's war with China was not territorial ambition, but the eradication of the anti-Japanese movement, anti-communism, and the reconciliation of the three countries of Manchuria and China.
In the Japan-US negotiations, Japan's allegations were peace by the confluence of Wang Jingwei of the Nanjing government and Chiang Kai-shek of the Chongqing government, and a proposal for defense from communism jointly by Japan and China. The US allegation was the withdrawal of Japanese troops from China, admitting only the Chongqing government. The negotiations broke down and the United States stopped oil, resulting in a war between Japan and the United States.
As US diplomat George Kennan said, the US mistakenly eliminated Japan's influence, resulting in the Soviet threat, communism of dictatorships in China and North Korea.
The United States rejected Japan's allegations of peace by the confluence of the Nanjing and Chongqing governments, and the joint proposal of Japan and China to defend against communism. The United States accidentally dropped an atomic bomb that violated international law by sticking to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese army, resulting in a threat of Soviet communism and a cold war with China's communist dictatorship. As a result of eliminating Japan, the United States fought the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The United States fought the Chinese army in the Korean War. And the Vietnam War also fought. A huge number of communist victims have been killed in China and Cambodia.
Japan was also relatively free and democratic, but when it came to total war, it had to be controlled. As a result of the United States and Britain mistakenly cornering Japan, Japan fought for its own self-defense. And it aimed at the liberation of Asia. The Western colonies have collapsed. The collapse of the Western colony by Japan has realized peace through free trade and coexistence and co-prosperity through economic development.
But the president of the United States, Nixon
Again made a mistake and promoted the threat of the Chinese Communist Party. Currently, the threat of the Chinese Communist Party is threatening the world and Taiwan. The United States, Japan, Europe and Asia are protecting freedom, democracy and peace from the threat of the Chinese Communist Party.
@@uk4717 None of what you have written actually addresses the fact that Tuchman's work is dated at best and shoddy at worst.
The motives of the wars with China were very much imperialist ones for territorial expansion, don't be ridiculous.
Japan's view that they had to attack the KMT government to stop communism was always an ignorant one at best. After the KMT purged the communists in their ranks in 1927 it was irrefutable that they were anti-communists. In many ways Japan's aggression heavily contributed to the victory of the CCP in the Chinese Civil War by distracting the KMT when they were close to defeating them; first indirectly when a KMT officer kidnapped Chiang Kai Shek and forcing him to form a united front with the CCP against further Japanese aggression, which would not have happened had Japan stayed away. Second, when Japan invaded it made further action against the CCP impossible and weaken the KMT to the point that they lost the civil war.
"Japan was also relatively free and democratic" That ignores the fact that by the 1930s the military had a de facto ability to collapse any government they didn't like and that ultra-nationalists who assassinated their political opponents received extremely light sentences and at times were not punished at all.
@@aze94 you know your history👍
@@aze94 While I mostly agree with what you said (UK47 must be quoting out of a 1970s Japanese text book?), you act in your last sentence, like that's a bad thing?
It should be perfectly legal to kill politicians, who get on their knees and blow their country's enemies/betray their own country (even if in "light" manners, only) for their own personal benefit or misguided leftist/"liberal" (that term has been highjacked imo, classical liberals are/can be respectable) world views.

Why have you chosen Juan Luna's Spoliarium as your background painting?
Damnit Ian Fleming!
A bit of a misleading title if Fleming doesn't join the IJA
What’s the name of the Chinese-sounding music playing during the animated parts?
Why aren’t sources the description shape up
It is Zhang Zuolin, not Tan Liu Lin.
One thing that is telling is how multi-racial the Western armies were, while the French are particularly associated with multi-racial armed forces the British, U.S. American, Nazi German, and Fascist Italian forces were all multi-racial, meanwhile the Japanese Imperial Forces were all as good as completely Asian.
Well it depends on what you count as multi cultural.
Many soldiers in the imperial army were korean after the annexation of Korea.
