[Machine Translation] The "God of Operations" or the "Devil's Counselor"? After the war, the chief of staff, who led the Nomonhan Incident and the Malaya Operation, went into hiding in various parts of Asia to avoid pursuit of war criminals. After the war, he ran for the national election with his best-selling book, "Three Thousand Miles Undercover," and won the top position, but he disappeared after leaving for Southeast Asia again. What was the man who was accused of "absolute evil" trying to do? Sixty years after his mysterious disappearance, we interviewed his remaining relatives and other people involved, and unearthed previously unpublished documents. This is an authentic critical biography that uncovers the unknown truth about the man.
