Gege's question is very sharp. Even though World War II ended more than 70 years ago, this question is still difficult to answer.

However, seeing his wife's angry look, Yang Jing knew that he had to give his wife an answer today, otherwise this girl who liked to dwell on certain issues would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

Yang Jing gently patted Gege's back and asked with a smile: "Do you really want to hear the answer? But the answer may be cruel. If you knew it, you would probably be even angrier."

Gege looked at Yang Jing, nodded and said, "Hubby, I know you are doing this for my own good. Although I don't know much about the history of this area, I also know that the answer may make me even angrier, but I still want to know. Compared to curiosity, I would rather be angry. If I get angry, you will comfort me, and I will eventually become happy. But if I don't know the answer, I will be curious and unable to sleep all night, and then I will torment you..."

Well, this reason was strong enough, and Yang Jing raised his hands in surrender.

"Well, since you want to know about this, I will explain it to you in detail. First of all, if you want to understand why so many South American countries accepted ** war criminals after the war, you have to start with the relationship between South America and Germany."

"Among the many countries in South America, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and other countries have received ** war criminals, but the country that received the most ** war criminals is Argentina."

"From the post-war period to the early 1950s, 150 terrorists have been found to have infiltrated Argentina, such as Martin Bormann, who I just mentioned. Although he eventually died in Paraguay, he had been living in seclusion in Argentina for a while before coming to Paraguay. In addition to Martin Bormann, there are also people such as Joseph Mengele, nicknamed the 'Angel of Death', who was a senior official of the German Nazi SS and a doctor in the Auschwitz concentration camp; and Adolf Eichmann, nicknamed the 'Executioner', who was the main executor of the Jewish Holocaust. Many of these terrorist war criminals were dug out later, but more of them lived quite freely by changing their names. Some of these war criminals have died, and many are still at large. It was not until May 1998 that the terrorist war criminals Dinko Shakic and his wife, who had been living in seclusion in Argentina for fifty years, were arrested!"

The princess widened her eyes, obviously not believing what Yang Jing said.

Yang Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "In fact, when I first saw this information, I didn't quite believe it, but the facts are so thrilling and unbelievable. There are many reasons for this, the first of which is historical reasons."

"Since the second half of the 19th century, Argentina has become one of the main destinations for European immigrants after the United States. Unlike other South American countries such as Brazil and Paraguay, where mixed races account for a large proportion of the population, 95% of Argentina's immigrants are white! Moreover, immigrants to Argentina are mainly from the Catholic regions of Central and Southern Europe such as Italy, Spain and Germany. Therefore, Argentina and the Axis powers have always had very close ties and the government relations between the two sides are also very good. In the late 1930s, one-fifth of the Argentine citizens had German and Italian ancestry, including about 250,000 Germans. Therefore, anti-Semitism in Argentina was very serious during that period."

"In addition, the nationalist thinking in Argentina in the 1930s and 1940s was active and relaxed, which was very consistent with the thinking of the Communist Party. Therefore, there was a strong tendency of nationalism, anti-imperialism, and anti-oligarchism among Argentine intellectuals and officers. They believed that the German Empire could become an ally in the hostility against British and American imperialism. Therefore, during that period alone, there were more than 100 Communist organizations and more than 40,000 Communist Party members in Argentina."

"Wife, do you know this person named Peron?"

"Veron? Are you talking about Juan Veron, the bald midfielder nicknamed 'White Wizard' from Argentina? I like that player very much..."

Yang Jing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and finally raised his hands and said: "Well, your interruption skills are getting better and better!"

Gege smiled and pushed Yang Jing, "Haha, silly husband, I'm just teasing you. Of course I know Perón. In addition to that bald football star named Juan Perón, I also know the great dictator of Argentina after the war, Juan Perón. And I also know that guy has three wives, two of whom are very remarkable. I forgot the name of this guy's first wife, but I know her nickname, Mrs. Perón, a very famous artist, and she sang "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". As for that guy's third wife, Isabel Perón, she is even more amazing, the first female president in the world! So, this Perón is much more amazing than that bald football star."

Yang Jing smiled and gave Gege a thumbs up.

"If you talk about the fact that most of the Nazi war criminals fled to Argentina after the war, it has a lot to do with Perón. Because the Perón government at that time, especially Perón himself, had a considerable degree of sympathy for Nazi ideas, and the Argentine government at that time also implemented anti-Jewish policies. At the same time, Nazi Germany had close contacts with the Argentine government during World War II and promised to provide Argentina with a lot of trade opportunities after the war. Therefore, with the tacit approval of the great dictator Perón, so many Nazi war criminals fled to Argentina."

After a pause, Yang Jing continued to explain: "In 1939, Perón served as the military attaché of the Argentine Embassy in Italy. During this period, he went to Germany and Spain more than once. He established a solid "friendship" in cooperation with Italy, Germany and the Franco regime in Spain. Therefore, when Latin American countries broke off diplomatic relations and declared war on the Axis powers, only Argentina still maintained diplomatic relations with the Axis powers. Until shortly before the end of World War II, Perón had to declare war on Germany and Italy in order to avoid being liquidated by the Allied forces, but he still had ties with them privately and pitied the remnants of the Communist Party. Therefore, it was expected that he would accept or even privately help the fleeing Communist Party members after the war. Moreover, there were many scientists and big capitalists among these fleeing Communist elements. Perón also wanted to take this opportunity to open up Argentina's economic, military and technological levels. In the 1950s, Argentina tried to develop a series of weapons with the participation of German scientists, from jet fighters to mushroom bombs. And it was not only Argentina, but Chile also accepted many Communist war criminals at that time. Similar situations also occurred in countries such as Brazil and Paraguay."
