The son-in-law, Major General Bendo Sanmen (Lu Shi 32, Lu University 42), and Major General Xi Yizhang (Lu Shi 31, Lu University 42). Minjiro is the oldest of all military war criminals in the Far East International Military Trial. When he graduated from Lu Shi in 1895 and became a second lieutenant, people such as Wu Teng Zhang were still wearing open pants. He and Fan San Jin Gu are the leaders of the big branch clan, and they were protected by Yuyuan Yicheng. He was put on trial because he was Minister of War during the September 18th Incident, did not control the Kwantung Army and supported its expansion in Manchuria. Nanjiro is a political opportunist who plays the lead. He has no opinion on everything but can hold a high position. He is a typical example of the bureaucratic talent of the Japanese Army. After September 18th, Nanjiro was not only not included in the reserve service like Kinju, but instead sat on the throne of commander of the Kwantung Army, which fully demonstrated his "ability to mix." Nanjiro served as commander of the Kwantung Army and also served as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Manchuria. This "special and full authority" meant that the Kwantung Army had complete control of Manchuria. Japan's old colonial institution in Northeast China, the Kanto Office, has been competing with the Kwantung Army for control of the puppet Manchuria, resulting in the instability of Japan's rule over Manchuria. Starting from Nanjiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army began to have command of the Kanto Hall and became the de facto ruler of the Puppet Manchukuo. Under the arrangement of Nanjiro, puppet Manchuria Emperor Puyi visited Japan in April 1935. It was the February 26th Incident that ended the military careers of Minjiro and many other generals. After the incident, Nanjiro's attitude was wavering again. Hideki Tojo, then commander of the Kanto Gendarmerie, immediately issued a state of emergency for the puppet Manchuria, quickly controlling the situation in Manchuria and ensuring that no sympathetic incidents occurred in Manchuria. Later, the Japanese Army began to carry out military personnel, and Minjiro, as a representative of the old warlords, was also incorporated into the reserve. Later, as governor general of Korea, he colonized Korea and advocated aggression against China. Nandjiro was 72 years old at the time of the Far East International Military Trial. At this time, he was rarely confused. He enjoyed life in prison and often helped clean up. In the end, he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Far East Court for committing a breach of peace, but he only served nine years before being released on parole. Nanjiro on the bench
