Suicide by caesarean section was once popular in the Japanese army as a very painful form of suicide. People who have a cesarean section generally use a knife to cut a "ten" in the abdomen. The internal organs then burst out or bleed too much to death. Suicide by caesarean section was once a means used by the shogunate to control the samurai, and later in the war, Japan also adopted this cruel ritual in order to control the soldiers and promote bushido.
In fact, in the real war, many Japanese soldiers are reluctant to take the form of suicide by caesarean section. This form is not only not sacred, but also very ugly. Many of the suicides by caesarean section were actually carried out under the supervision of Japanese officers with guns. As the Japanese army gradually showed a downward trend on the battlefield, the Japanese army's Bushido spirit was impacted, and after the Japanese soldiers were captured, there were very few soldiers who had their abdomen cut.
In 1945, Japan announced its surrender. The event marked the end of World War II. After Japan's surrender, the military strength and economic strength of the Japanese army suffered a heavy blow. The power of the Japanese emperor was provoked. As the defeated Japanese soldiers returned to their home countries one by one, an American asked the emperor after Japan's surrender: Why don't you have a caesarean section? The Emperor's words are thought-provoking.
Of course, it will not be ordinary soldiers who can ask this question, but the legendary General Of the United States, MacArthur. At that time, MacArthur, who was arrogant and arrogant, faced the surrendered Japanese emperor and asked: "The soldiers of your country will commit suicide by caesarean section when they have not completed their tasks. The emperor said 4 words: "There is nothing you can do." These four words spoken by the emperor illustrate the emperor's weakness on the one hand; on the other hand, they also illustrate the problem that the emperor has not been sentenced to any crime.
In fact, the day after the two american atomic bombs were dropped, the Japanese emperor announced that he had accepted the ceasefire agreement. At that time, many Japanese soldiers were still fighting in overseas battlefields, and when the news came, many people could not accept it, and chose to commit suicide by caesarean section on the spot. At that time, the spirit of Bushido prevailed throughout Japan, and in their eyes, if they could not win, it was equivalent to not completing the task, then they would commit suicide and apologize.
In the eyes of Japanese soldiers, suicide by caesarean section is not death, but liberation. However, the Emperor of Japan, to whom they were loyal, had no intention of committing suicide after the end of the war. After the war, MacArthur came to Japan on behalf of the United States to help him rebuild after the war. The Emperor of Japan repeatedly asked MacArthur, but MacArthur did not seize his rights because he also had to rely on the Emperor's oracle to issue orders.
The Japanese emperor claimed that he had always been opposed to war, but his ministers supported the war of aggression, and he could do nothing. The emperor put all the responsibility for waging the war on others, saying that he was very innocent.
I think the Japanese Emperor himself was a very greedy and fearful person, and he also proposed a battle plan of 100 million jade fragments before the atomic bomb was dropped. The Allies were clearly superior, and Japanese resistance was meaningless, but he did not care at all about civilian casualties for his ambitions to occupy Asia.
After the United States dropped the first atomic bomb, the Japanese emperor did not think of surrendering at all. More than 100,000 people had been killed or wounded in Hiroshima, but the Emperor ordered that the news be blocked so that the wounds would not affect the fighting mood of other civilians. It wasn't until the United States dropped a second atomic bomb that the Emperor became afraid. He feared that if he did not surrender, the United States would continue to bomb like this, and his life would be threatened.
What the Emperor did not expect, however, was that the United States actually had two atomic bombs at that time. Not only the emperor, but almost all the high-ranking officials in the Japanese army at that time were greedy for life and afraid of death. It is said that when Hideki Tojo committed suicide, he was directly deflected because he was afraid of his hands, and finally he was not able to escape the hanging. If the Japanese soldiers knew that the emperor they were loyal to was so reckless with their lives, I wonder if they would have been so desperate?
