Diary entry #1 1937

Dear Friend, The day has finally come, I have struggled and I fought, today I finally rise up another rank and become Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army. When reminiscing about my past I still seem to remember everything as if it were yesterday. My service in Germany and Switzerland, the teaching of my father, Hidenori Tojo, Lieutenant General in the Japanese Army and of- course my time leading the Kempeitai in Manchuria. However, I can not rest for a moment, for the stress in this war seems to be growing constantly, and now there is no turning back. Although my new rank has only been given recently, I have already planned many steps into the future for the sake of securing our China’s territories. I am not a man to take part in the action, instead I see myself as the brain of the militaries anatomy. However, it has come to my attention that perhaps it’s time to take part in directing the operations in Chahar. I’m afraid, it’s taking us too long to reach our goal in challenging Russia. Although I hate to admit, China does stand to be quite the barrier and and must quickly be overcome. The elimination of Chiang Kai-Shek must happen quickly, for he is the central pillar in the nations force. I may not take part in a lot of the action but I am not a fool to simply lead my soldiers into the palm of the Chiang, instead it has been agreed t outflank his men and hit them hard where they don’t expect it. I may often seem like a polite and gentle man, but I also stick to my objectives and my beliefs, being polite is not allowing others to consume what is yours but to give it your best when facing a challenge. I have worked for years in service of my country, I do not fear the tasks that I have been given. I am the Chief of Staff, and although some may feel that the weight is too heavy, I will not hesitate with my actions, and stride with confidence as I climb higher into the military ranks. As I have said many times before “I am just an ordinary man possessing no shining talents. Anything I have achieved I owe to my capacity for hard work and never giving up.” I plan to continue to say this until the end, nor will I ever give up on this quote, after-all ‘effort’ itself is a talent worth having.

Diary Entry #2 1941 Dear Friend, Sigh... It’s unbelieveable, Emperor Hiroshito has finally appointed me the Prime Minister. I have been given the ultimate power and now I command the entire Japanese military. The countless deeds that I have done, the countless mountains that I have crossed, make my promotion of becoming Chief of Staff to be nothing but a speck in my career. My responsibility for the nation far outgrows what it once used to be, nor will I ever fail advance Japan in the World power. I remember pack in 1940 when I pushed for the Axis alliance with Germany, it’s clear that they are the leading force in the world today and they will be our stepping stone into something higher. For now, we may be aiding Germany, but soon we shall become a leading force in the World. For now I am pushing the idea of a total war against the United States. We have already taken care of Indochina, and the U.S is bound to become troublesome if we were to delay this war. I know I should not underestimate their military force, but once America's pacific fleet is taken out, they will no longer be able to overwhelm our forces. Russia and China now bore me as do the people, there must be constant change to constantly motivate the people. United States must be our next target, it’s a country with high level of respect and power. If such a country was to fall due to us. Germany and other with it will begin to recognize our country and see as reliable and powerful friend. I admit that this International war is lasting much longer than I have expected, and the weight is slowly beginning to make be buckle. I do not for a second force the idea that I am always right. However, I make these decisions for the sake of my people, and I always do things in hopes for the best possible outcome. War against U.S.A will cause problems, but don’t all conflicts contains the same issues? In a situation like this the risk is truly worth the profit. I have plans of actions set out, and I have considered countless options, I have full confidence in what will happen and all will go as planned. After-all I do command the Japanese Military. One of my first steps of actions is Pearl Harbor.

Diary Entry #3 1942

Dear Friend, Muhahahaha muhahahaha although it may seem immoral for a man in my status to express his laughs in a diary, but such success must atleast be expressed in my personnel diary. One hundred days of victory! One hundred days! We have now obtained several colonial powers in East Asia, and I only expect it to grow from here on out. I admit that plans have been changed slightly due to America’s interaction in this whole ordeal. However, they still don’t stand a chance against us, with Pearl Harbor impacting them harder than expected. In terms of our progress, in January we have forced the flee of General Douglas MacArthur and President Manuel L.Quezon. This month - February - we have captured a British army officer stationed in Singapore, Aston Galloway. Perhaps if we have met in other times he may seem an interesting man, after-all one rarely gets to meet a man of 190 cm. He was found struggling to fend off my men. Although British, he is a soldier to be respected. On the other hand, as respectable as he may be, I will not hesitate to take any kind of action needed to gain us an advantage in this war. Currently forced to labor on the Burma Railway with the rest of the 130,000 prisoners of war. Recently I have received reports on our status and once again America continues to hinder my plans. They have formed a blockade and stopped our access to raw materials, which may lead to major downfalls in our plans. The council and I have agreed upon looking elsewhere and concentrate more on steel, rubber, coal and oil in South East Asia. We may need to minimize our rations for now but our military power will grow. I have found myself quite satisfied with what Japan has achieved in these past years but I can’t help but feel the burden that once America begins to concentrate their forces in this region, we may find ourselves in a struggle. We may be doing well but the war is still not over. With the countless events that are occurring, my schedule has become quite packed and I fear that writing may become more scarce. Hence for now, goodbye.

Diary Entry #4 1945

It’s over. After my last entry I have stood in confidence and guaranteed victory. However, after our period of constant victory, constant defeats was all that followed. Finally, the biggest them among has been hit and there is no longer any hope in this war. I guess it’s safe to say that, as soon as my last diary entry was written, all seem to fall little by little. It all seemed to begin when we faced our defeat in the Battle of Coral Sea. We outnumbered them by far and yet their strategy was far superior to ours, although I was ashamed to admit this before,I feel that I have no choice. After such an event we had a severe loss in the battle of midway and later in Guadacanal and New Guinea. It was catastrophic, we had lost more than four carrier task forces and this was perhaps, where the tables were turned. Our trading routes have all been blocked and we are running out of not only the arms and oil, but food and water, making our economy impossible to handle. Our nation that seemed to have expanded only yesterday has been shrunk smaller and smaller back into the islands that we were once content with. Finally last year it happened. The demon that fell from the sky and destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I remember being told by Robert Oppenheimer himself, and reminders from several other Military lieutenants that this was a sight to be seen, to show the power of the American’s. I was a fool to underestimate them. The explosion was terrible. I stood over 15 km away from the impact point and yet I could still see the flash and the great mushroom cloud. In seeing this I knew it was over. Japan had no weapon to go against such fears weapons. We’re even struggling to handle simple air forces and now handling the a bomb of such magnitude would be a hope that will never come true. After the bomb, we have constantly faced large groups of people surrender to the power of the West. We have tried to last as long as we could but I feel that I can not do anything to save our country but to surrender aswell. I’m heartbroken to say that it’s time to resign form my position as Chief of Staff and with it, end this diary.
