History cannot be changed, but for several years, the Japanese army has repeatedly denied the war of aggression against China, so what is going on in the eyes of the Japanese army? A Japanese veteran who participated in the war of aggression against China told the real reason.
The supreme commander of the war of aggression against China was the Japanese Emperor, who had an absolute position in Japan, not only in terms of rights, but also in the spiritual beliefs of many Japanese people. According to relevant records, there were 4.26 million Japanese troops stationed on the mainland and 3.53 million overseas, such a huge number, all of whom were soldiers who participated in the war of aggression against China and the fascist war. With so many soldiers, why did only a few people, or dozens of people, stand up and admit to the atrocities of that year?
As mentioned earlier, the spiritual leader of Japan was the Emperor of Japan, and the emperor of the year was Hirohito. The young Hirohito was an out-and-out war maniac, the samurai in the eyes of the Japanese. The weakness of the Qing government and the civil strife in the Republic of China gave Hirohito an opportunity to dominate Asia. So Hirohito launched a war of aggression against China, which was originally scheduled to end within three months, but in fact the war took 14 years. During this period, he committed heinous crimes every day, especially the "Three Lights Policy", which killed countless Chinese people, and the United Front was the Emperor of Japan.
After the end of World War II, war criminals from various countries were punished according to the established rules, but The Japanese Emperor Hirohito was not affected in the slightest, and even became Japan's longest-lived emperor, which was unfair to the Chinese, but for many veterans, it was an encouraging thing. It is only because the biggest war criminals in this war of aggression against China have not been arrested, and the Japanese emperor is still the spiritual leader of most Japanese people, so Japanese veterans have no idea of repentance.
Secondly, Japan has extremely favorable treatment of these war veterans, which makes many veterans have the illusion that the Japanese army is not wrong, and only in this way will it be treated favorably by the Japanese emperor. People have nothing more than to pursue two things in their lives, the spiritual level and money, and now that these veterans have both things, then naturally there are not so many worries in the end. That's why they avoid talking about the atrocities of the first time. Not because of the correctness of this war, but only because of the initiator of all this, the Japanese emperor did not receive the punishment he deserved.
