On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Emperor Hirohito issued a declaration of surrender by radio. But it is surprising that many Japanese people are said to have cried at that time and were obviously unwilling, while many senior military generals chose other means of catharsis. On August 16, a Japanese man named Ōnishi Takijiro committed suicide in his home after leaving a suicide note. This man, who was a Vice Admiral of the Japanese Navy at the time, thought he was sorry for the Emperor and the country, so he chose to commit suicide by caesarean section.
At that time, MacArthur, a senior general in the Us Army, was in Japan, so after hearing the news that the lieutenant general had committed suicide, he asked Emperor Hirohito curiously: "Your lieutenant generals have all apologized for their deaths, so why don't you, as the emperor, have a caesarean section?" Emperor Hirohito was surprised at first, but immediately replied coldly with 4 words, and as a result, he pushed the responsibility clean. Emperor Hirohito was the real culprit in Japan's invasion of China, and it was he who launched this criminal war. According to historical records, this person was born in 1901, and his grandfather was the famous Meiji Emperor in Japanese history.
Since Hirohito's father died early, Emperor Meiji was very bitter about this precious grandson and was determined to cultivate him well. At that time, Hirohito, who was less than 100 days old, was sent by Meiji to the Admiral for training, and at the age of 6, he was personally taught by the "Japanese military god" Nogi Yoshinori, and studied at the Imperial Academy. We know that since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese people have begun to worship the spirit of Bushido. His own cultural traditions, combined with the teachings of Nogi Nogi, made Emperor Hirohito increasingly ruthless, belligerent, and martial.
It is precisely because he has more contact with the world's military culture that Napoleon, the "god of war" in France, has become the idol of the Japanese emperor. According to historical records, he personally visited Napoleon's cemetery and placed a bust of an idol in his study, which seemed to inspire him to move forward. In 1926, at the age of 25, Hirohito officially became the 124th emperor in Japanese history, Emperor Showa.
The legendary emperor also ruled Japan for 63 years, making him the longest-serving emperor. Because he was deeply influenced by military culture since he was a child, he had his own set of plans and ideas. After Emperor Showa ascended the throne, he reformed the country's military system and finally launched a criminal war of aggression against China in 1931. It was this martial emperor who caused the entire people of China and Asia to suffer from war, and it was an unknown number of people who used their lives and blood to drive away the invaders.
Because Japan still retains many remnants of feudal ideas, the emperor has become a "god-like existence" in the hearts of the Japanese people. MacArthur certainly knew the emperor's lofty position in Japan, but the Japanese-made "Pearl Harbor incident" was also a lingering pain for Americans, so he used it to satirize Hirohito. Who knew that Hirohito had just coldly squeezed out 4 words: "helpless." At the same time, he also said that he was also opposed to war, but his subordinate Wenwu repeatedly insisted, so he could not do it. Later, the Japanese emperor published a book called "The Declaration of the World", in which he mentioned: "I am just an ordinary person, so I will make mistakes." "It's outrageous.
