On this topic, it is estimated that the first thought of some small partners is not the atomic bomb? I would like to say that you have overestimated the power of the atomic bomb.
The atomic bomb was just a catalyst, accelerating the japanese surrender, not to mention the Battle of Midway, but anyone with a clear eye could see that Japan was finished.
So the Surrender of the Japanese was a result of a bunch of comprehensive factors squeezed together and finally squeezed out, and the atomic bomb was not the main cause.
Of course, this is dry, not a little convincing, next, Xiaobian will analyze and analyze the big guys.
First of all, the first point is that at the end of World War II, the Japanese were in a passive situation, both internationally and domestically.
International.
If nothing else, let's just say that his allies, the Germans, were caught between the Soviet Union and the United States, and there was not much power to fight back, and finally they could not survive the surrender three months earlier than Japan.
As a fascist beast, Japan itself has reached the predicament of being so bad that it has no friends.
So at this point, when the Japanese glanced at him, he didn't speak to him.
Of course, the unwilling Japanese had imagined an ally who wanted to pull the Soviets down and reconcile them.
What about reconciliation? Reconciling the relations between Japan and the United States, the Japanese made all kinds of overtures and all kinds of communication to the Soviets. Even the Japanese offered to exchange hundreds of Soviet aircraft for their two aircraft carriers, and the loss-making business was also done.
Even so, when the Soviet Union was going to hold a victory parade in moscow for the Great Patriotic War, the Japanese still stood up with a big face and squeezed in to participate in the parade.
What do the Japanese want to prove? Was it to prove the defeat of his hardcore ally, the Germans? Welcome the world to a celebration of fascism? You can't understand what's going on in the minds of the Japanese?
In fact, when it comes to the root cause, these tricks are nothing more than an illusion of mutual trust in front of the Soviets.
To maintain these illusions, Japan also returned some of the disputed islands to the Soviet Union on condition.
So why do the Japanese have such whimsical ideas? Because there was a Battle of Nomonkan in World War II, when the Japanese wanted to fight the Soviets, they couldn't beat the people, and finally the two sides signed a "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty", which saw that Japan was about to be overthrown.
In addition, the Soviet Union and Japan maintained this balance for a long time in World War II, and many things are somewhat unclear about the relationship.
illustrate:
At the beginning of World War II, the Soviet Union still had military assistance to China, and the signing of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty stopped, and the Soviet Union's idea was simple, that is, to avoid provoking Japan and putting itself in the danger of fighting at both ends.
Then there was the fact that in World War II, the Soviet Union did not agree to the Construction of Airfields by the Americans in the Soviet Union. If the Americans had built an airfield in the Soviet Union, they would have been dangerous to the Japanese mainland.
In fact, this practice also wants to avoid irritating the Japanese.
Another thing is that the Potsdam Proclamation, which urged the Japanese to surrender unconditionally, was not signed by the Soviets, although they participated.
These things fell together, which inevitably made the Japanese think that they could be regarded as grasping the last straw of life, which was not the initiative to paste it, and wanted the Soviet Union to be this peacemaker.
But the Japanese did not know that the Soviets were the last straw that crushed him.
Therefore, in the international community, the Japanese people have no help at all, there is no hope, he does not want to think that bad things are done, and there is still a way back?
As for Japan, it is a piece of mourning!
Many Japanese people have nowhere to eat, and the signs of famine have begun.
At that time, according to the calculations of the Americans, the japanese had enough rations on the mainland to be allocated for two or three months.
In this situation, if the Japanese were surrounded on the island for half a year, the Hungry Eyes of the Japanese would glow green, and they would still fight? Just kidding!
The reason for this situation is that the Japanese have been fighting for such a long time, and they have expanded the war step by step.
What is war? It was a bottomless pit that ate meat and didn't spit bones, and how many things were thrown in were not filled.
The Japanese threw in the ideas they had accumulated since the Meiji Restoration, so that in the late world war II, it was a luxury to eat an egg in Japan.
So that in the end, even if the Japanese have the bills issued by the Japanese government that can buy grain, even if they have grain in the grain store, they don't know you and don't sell it to you.
Sounds like coke, it's really like that.
The editor was reading "The Man Who Came Back Alive" written by a Japanese veteran, holding a bill in his hand to sell grain, and the shopkeeper said: "I don't know you again!" "Gave the top back.
Of course, behind these irrational phenomena is the ubiquitous phenomenon of corruption in Japan, which has relations, especially those with relations and backgrounds with the Japanese army, and at that time in Japan, they could walk sideways, and they all had any materials.
Corruption, on the other hand, can only arouse greater public anger.
So at that time, the Japanese government was already squatting on the crater, and as soon as Bao Buqi erupted that day, any emperor and any military department would have to be blown to ashes.
From here, you can see how far the situation in Mainland Japan has come. This is not the consequence of the United States cutting off the Japanese sea lines of communication.
This was also stimulated by the Li Mei fire attack, which not only burned down the Japanese people's homes, but more importantly, the output of industrial products that could sustain Japan's continued progress was also burned down.
Because Japan was not an industrial country at that time, he was still in the stage of handicraft workshops, and many industrial products and parts were produced by handicraft workshops hidden in private houses and then sent to factories for assembly.
Without output, there is no income, no income, no purchasing power, and the results can be imagined. In fact, in this case, even if there is output, do you feel that the quality is guaranteed?
Therefore, the Japanese were already deeply trapped in a situation of internal and external difficulties, and he had no way to do anything.
In this way, the Japanese are still holding their breath and blowing their one hundred million jade fragments, giving those criminals who started the war a chance to survive.
For this purpose, these militarists are going to drag all the Japanese into the funeral.
At this point, it is estimated that some people will say that Japan still has a total strength of seven million troops.
In fact, there are more than two million people in Japan, and most of them are lying on the battlefield in China, and they can't move.
Of course, at that time, the Japanese also had such troops in their hands, and they must give the Americans a good look, and they pulled up the slogan of 100 million jade fragments.
You must remember that the Americans also gave half a million casualties to the landing at that time, that is, to land and give the Japanese a final blow.
Moreover, the Soviet Union and the Americans had reached an agreement to launch an offensive against Japan.
Two big Macs fight a Japanese, do you think the Japanese still have tricks?
Okay, that's it, let's go on.
In fact, the lack of materials is not only in Japan itself, even in the occupied areas on the Battlefield of China, those japanese soldiers have a hard time, many Japanese people in the occupied areas can not eat enough, even in north China, there are Japanese soldiers with their arms and anti-Japanese armed forces to trade grain.
At this point, not to mention the Japanese high-level, let's say that those Japanese people at the bottom are probably thinking the most about how to survive this war.
In particular, okinawa, Japan's most important gateway, was pried open by the Americans, and the despair in the Hearts of the Japanese is something you can imagine.
At this point, the Japanese navy basically became a shell, and the only thing that could threaten the Americans was their air force.
At this time, the Japanese air force also faced no aircraft, and the high-quality pilots lost a lot of money in the early stages, leaving a bunch of flying experience of less than twenty hours, and they died when they sat on the plane and played bumper cars.
And a large number of American ships began to approach the Japanese mainland, you say, what else is Japan going to do?
Speaking of this, Xiaobian wants to talk about the so-called 100 million jade fragments of the Japanese.
It was funny to say that Japan's defeat was already a foregone conclusion, but the Japanese rulers had the courage to get a hundred million jade pieces.
But actually? The Rulers of Japan did not have the courage to fight to the death, except for a very small number of guys who played a self-imposed judgment, you look at the Tokyo Trial, one by one, all kinds of pretending to be crazy and stupid, shamelessly shirking their responsibilities, the purpose is to save themselves a breath, and then live well.
These guys don't even have the courage to admit it, so when Japan is really going to face a desperate situation, do you feel like they're going to do it?
These guys had no intention of keeping the bullets to themselves, just clamoring over and over again to let others survive and die for themselves, so a hundred million jade fragments was not an end in itself, but a means for them to keep themselves alive.
Peeling off the shell of the so-called hard state, what remains is a shameless slogan. Because in the eyes of the Japanese, as long as the Americans are scared, they can force the Americans to stop and sit down and talk.
You don't know that the Americans were already expecting half a million casualties before they landed, so they rushed to create a batch of Purple Heart medals, so that the medals that were not issued were used by the Americans until the Vietnam War.
Of course, the reality is always harsh, and while the Japanese endured the atomic bomb, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945.
So in the early morning of August 9, millions of Soviet troops began to attack the Kwantung Army entrenched in northeast China in three ways.
The Soviet Union had a strength of 1.74 million, 30,000 artillery and mortars, 5,250 tanks and 5,170 aircraft.
Let's not talk about how many problems there are in terms of troop strength, but as far as these hard equipment is concerned, is it the Japanese 92nd infantry gun or the grenadier can withstand it?
At the time of nomenkan, the Japanese still had several heavy artillery pieces left over from World War I, and at this point, the Japanese did not say artillery, and they could not even let the Japanese soldiers have one of the three or eight big covers.
Don't be surprised, if you look through it, the Japanese who joined the Japanese army at the end of World War II wrote those memoirs, more or less complained, when the military training, there is a weapon, really enlisted, weapons? Just a dagger, love or not.
So when the Soviets launched an offensive against the Kwantung Army on August 9, they quickly beat the Japanese all over the world, and by the fourteenth, the front was advanced by four hundred kilometers.
Many cities were besieged by the Soviets.
So the Kwantung Army, the flower of the Japanese Imperial Army, was destroyed, and the Japanese dream of seeing the Soviet Union as a mediator also woke up, and the mediator became the most terrible opponent.
The two atomic bombs on August 6 and August 9 made the Japanese completely understand the situation, the Japanese were finished, the war was over, and the Americans could not land, and the results were the same.
The Soviet Union was more terrible than the Americans.
So what is it? This is a multiple blow, and under this multiple blow, what do you think of Japan?'
That is to say, the atomic bomb is something that unconditionally surrenders to Japan is only the icing on the cake, if the atomic bomb explodes a few months in advance, the Japanese may not surrender, if the night months, in fact, the Japanese have surrendered, there will be no atomic bomb at all.
That is to say, the unconditional surrender of the Japanese people actually occurred under the premise that they were trapped in internal and external difficulties, and he himself could not hold on, after all, the Participation of the Soviets in the War, the blockade of sea passages, and so on, these factors were combined to force the Japanese to step out of the road of unconditional surrender.
In fact, on August 9, 1945, at the military conference and the Imperial Council held in Japan, Suzuki, who was the prime minister at the time, said a sentence that summed up the despair of the Japanese people at that time.
"The entry of the Soviet Union into the war this morning has completely pushed us into a desperate situation and made it impossible for us to continue the war."
In the end, the Emperor of Japan adopted the plan of Foreign Minister Shigeru Togo and accepted the Potsdam Proclamation while preserving the emperor system.
Then, on August 28, the advance team of the American occupation forces began to land on the Japanese mainland.
The Americans alone used forty-eight aircraft, and by August 30, the Americans and the British had begun to enter Japan in the name of the Allies and appeared on a large scale on the Japanese mainland.
In just a week, a total of 460,000 American troops landed on the Japanese and took control of various Japanese cities and strategic points.
You don't know that at that time, at the request of the Americans, China also had to prepare an elite infantry division of 14,500 people to participate in the occupation of Japan, in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
So, you know, is the surrender of the Japanese related to the atomic bomb? Yes, it acted as a catalyst and avoided a large number of casualties, but he was definitely not an important condition for Japan's surrender.
