Tojo var själv av samurai-klassen, om än av fattig familj, så han behövde inte pimpa sin 15-åriga lillasyster till en prins för att komma upp sig, men både Tojo och den vi söker hörde till samma sida i maktkampen inom Armén, som förespråkade militär modernisering och total mobilisering, och båda ingick i det sammanhanget i "de elva utvalda". Så lite av japansk motsvarighet till att vara med i kretsen kring Helge Jung och Ny Militär Tidskrift, med skillnaden att de senare hade en mer svensk "lagom" attityd och inte sysslade med lönnmord.
Sitt sista befäl övertog den vi söker från fältmarskalk Sugiyama (men nådde själv aldrig denna grad).

Ursäkta sent svar, är ute och reser igen...
Bra, där satt den. Visst är det Kenji Doihara. Opiummissbrukare och i praktiken storgangster under sin tid som chef för underrättelsetjänsten i Manchuriet även om det var pre-WW2 (ledtråd 1 - facklan är ju symbolen för underrättelsetjänst).
Jo, att han var militärattaché hade också varit en bra ledtråd. Ett litet utdrag ur vad Wikipedia skriver om hans bravader, i syftet att destabilisera den kinesiska kulturen och stärka den japanska makten:
Citat:
... he used every possible kind of action, including deliberately fueling criminality, fostering drug addiction, sponsoring terrorism, assassinations, blackmail, bribery, opium trafficking and racketeering, spreading every kind of corruption in the almost ungovernable country. The extent of his activities and covert operations are still inadequately understood. [...]
After the occupation of Manchuria, under his supervision the Japanese secret service soon turned Machukuo into a vast criminal enterprise where rape, child molestation, sexual humiliation, sadism, assault and murder became institutionalized means of terrorizing and controlling Manchuria's Chinese and Russian population. Robbery by soldiers and gendarmes, arbitrary confiscation of property and unabashed extortion became commonplace. Underground brothels, opium dens, gambling houses and narcotics shops run by Japanese gendarmes competed with the state monopoly syndicate of opium.
[...]
Doihara soon expanded his activity into the still unoccupied parts of China. By using about 80,000 paid Chinese villains known as Chiang Mao Tao, he funded hundreds of criminal groups, using them for every kind of social disturbance, turnover, assassinations and sabotage inside unoccupied China.
[...]
By adulterating medicines with opium, he managed to addict millions of unsuspecting patients, expanding societal degeneration into areas which had been hitherto untouched by the increasing breakdown of Chinese society. This scheme also created a pool of addicted victims desperate to offer any kind of service to in order to secure a daily dose of opium.
He initially gave food and shelter to tens of thousands Russian White émigré women who had taken refuge in the Far East after the defeat of the White Russian anti-Bolshevik movement during the Russian Civil War and the withdrawal of the Entente and Japanese armies from Siberia. Having lost their livelihoods, and with most of them widowed, Doihara forced the women into prostitution, using them to create a network of brothels throughout China where they worked under inhuman conditions. The use of heroin and opium was promoted to them as a way to tolerate their miserable fate. Once addicted, the women were used to further spread the use of opium among the population by earning one free opium pipe for every six they were selling to their customers.
[...]
In the mouthpiece of each cigarette a small dose of opium or heroin was concealed, and by this subterfuge millions of unsuspecting consumers were added to the ever-growing crowds of drug addicts in the crippled country, simultaneously creating huge profits.

Och det fascinerande är att han sedan kunde få topposter i Japanska armén under kriget. En av de mest spännande lärdomarna om Japans syn på Kina under denna tid som gjorde att jag inte kunde stå emot att göra en fråga på Doihara.
