SP The Tokko, Intellectuals, and the “Anti-Military Speech”
In this episode, hosts Sha Qingqing and Zheng Shiliang will start by discussing Unbreakable (アンブレイカブル), the new work by Yana Hiroshi, author of the historical spy novel Code Name D. Following the internal perspective of a Tokko police bureaucrat, they will uncover the omnipresent terror of the Showa militarism era and explore the fates of Japanese intellectuals living in its shadows, as well as their respective choices. Additionally, the hosts will discuss Saito Takao’s so-called “Anti-Military Speech” of 1940 and its historical background. Shigeru Ishiba, who is about to step down as Prime Minister of Japan, also mentioned this important speech by Saito Takao in his recently released “Statement on the 80th Anniversary of the End of the War,” which provides relevant context for your reference.
