Yes sir, l heard that Lt. Colonel Nakatome
died in action on the southern front, is that right?
:45:11
Dr. lshii may have been too...
:45:17
We'd better keep out of that,
:45:20
You'd better concentrate on your own career.
:45:23
The Empire Medical Department is waiting
for your return.
:45:26
The medical future of Japan relies on you people.
:45:37
Early summer 1945
:45:39
Japanese were retreating from the Pacific Front
:45:42
They also suffered many losses in China.
:45:45
The moral of the Japanese troops was very bad.
:45:49
All of Japan had been mobilized,
:45:53
there were still great shortages of everything.
:45:56
A large deficit of manpower for the Japanese
:45:59
military resulted in more adolescents joining
:46:02
the forces. The cloud of defeat loomed larger
:46:05
ln other words, the success or failure of 731
:46:08
decides the survival of the Empire.
:46:11
So today...
:46:13
we should have no more illusions about the
Kwangtung Army,
:46:17
the Kwangtung Army relies on our bacterial war,
:46:19
there is no other way of winning it.
:46:22
l've always thought that biological weapons
are more effective than bombers and guns
:46:26
Right now we must regroup our forces,
:46:28
& mobilize them.
:46:31
l entreat you to work doubly hard
:46:34
We must get ourselves well prepared
for the coming bacterial war.
:46:37
Gentleman, do you have any questions?
:46:45
Please, go ahead!
:46:49
We have already successfully produced
:46:51
a large quantity of virus which is 60times stronger
than the Black Death Virus.
:46:54
The amount of culture we have,
:46:57
according to our calculations,
:46:59
has enough power to wipe out the
whole mankind.
