vogelのChina and Japan: Facing Historyを読み始める(11)

関東軍

the Kwantung Army attracted some of the brightest, most patriotic, and most ambitious graduates of Japan’s military academies.

Vogel (2019)

Many of Japan’s military officers believed they had a glorious national mission to protect Asia from Westerners.

Some Japanese settlers in Manchuria, as well as some in the home islands, resented the haughtiness of Japanese soldiers and were more sympathetic to the Chinese people than they were to the military, just as some Mantetsu bureaucrats were sympathetic to the Chinese because of the harshness with which Kwantung Army officials dealt with local people.

満鉄の高官は関東軍の姿勢に疑問を持つものも多数いた。東京から関東軍をコントロールするのも難しくなっていた。
