Japan was originally a resource-poor country, and it waged a war of aggression in pursuit of development. However, we know that war is a war of attrition of resources, and there is no way to fight without resources, so when Japan lengthens the front, supply becomes a big problem. Especially after the war against the United States, Japan's supply of materials was even more strained. So do you know what Japan ate in the middle and late period of World War II?
Let's start by setting our sights on the Japanese combat troops. Before they invaded China in an all-round way, the soldiers' daily supply was stipulated, including rice, meat, vegetables, miso, etc., which were better than those eaten by the Chinese troops. However, at the beginning of the all-out invasion of China, Japan's supply could not keep up, and many times, they were robbing the local people's grain to maintain their livelihood, and the supplies were solved by themselves.
This situation is described in many film and television dramas. For example, in "Letter from Iwo Jima", in order to save food, Japanese soldiers ate mixed with kelp and seaweed mixed with mixed vegetable soup, clear soup and little water, and the supply of the US empire is not a grade at all. In "Blood Battle Pacific", it is shown that the Japanese army eats the rice of raw maggots, drinks sewage and fights with the American army, and even eats tree roots and bark. The hungry and crazy Japanese had no choice but to launch a long-lived charge against the American army, only to die quickly.
And at home, the people's lives are not good. At that time, the US Empire, which was in war, still needed to ration food, and housewives had to be careful to avoid hunger and, if necessary, to work. In Japan, it is even more tragic. At the end of the war, all the grain produced in the country was to be collected, and after priority was given to the front, the rest was distributed to the people of the country. Their food is also strictly rationed, and only by working can they get food, and they can only maintain basic life, and it is impossible to eat enough.
The edible leaves and bark are delicious dishes on the table, and sawdust has not escaped the stomach of the Japanese. The Japanese used sawdust to ferment into a powder, which was then mixed with a small proportion of flour to make a pancake and distributed to the people. Eating this thing, basically can not be absorbed, after the stool will feel hungry.
At this time, the Japanese began to survive in the wilderness, eliminating everything rich in protein in order to replenish protein. For example, earthworms, grasshoppers and other insects, even rats are not spared. The newspaper said that after careful disinfection, the rats were made according to a certain method, and the taste was the same as that of the birds. Please think about it, is this kind of thing going to be eaten? Disgusting or not disgusting?
And during that time, the crime rate in Japan rose sharply, and many cases were crimes of stealing grain and vegetables, which shows how hungry the Japanese people were at that time. At that time, Japan had collapsed, but it was still thinking of 100 million jade fragments to defend the country. These fanatical Japanese women lined up to catch frogs and grasshoppers. During that time, Japanese frogs and grasshoppers were even almost extinct.
When the Americans entered Japan at the end of World War II, many Japanese women had sex with the Americans for a piece of chocolate, a box of biscuits, and even a can of cans, in order to survive. Every day, countless Japanese women go to the place where Americans pile up garbage, rummaging through what they can eat, which is tragic!
The Japanese were ambitious, and under the fanatical thoughts, they vainly attempted to invade China. But the result? Defeated by the tenacious resistance of the Chinese soldiers, this is a great victory for our country over the great powers in the past hundred years! And the Japanese are also self-inflicted, dragging down their own domestic economy, the people have nothing to eat, and people who are starving to death are everywhere.
