Stalin was a domineering presence in the Soviet Union, leading the Soviets to win a fierce patriotic war. Some of the things he said were also full of domineering and iron blood, such as "Death is the way to solve all problems." People were sent into coffins, and the troubles that arose were buried in the loess. "Having your own ideas is much scarier than having a gun. We don't even let the enemy have guns, so how can we let them have their own ideas?" The death of a person is a tragedy; A million people die, just one statistic. ”
It was such a hard-nosed faction that, after Japan's surrender in World War II, did not have a single American on the question of occupying Japan, MacArthur.
MacArthur was naturally not a fuel-saving lamp, and the president of the United States did not pay attention to him, and Truman wanted to see him, and Baba had to find him personally. Even unknowingly, when he was removed from his post by Truman, he was able to return home like a triumphant general to give a lecture tour, a mouth that was simply invincible, and made thousands of Americans cheer and cry for him.
Back to the main topic, after Japan's surrender, the United States Plenipotentiary Acting General occupied Japan. In particular, MacArthur, as the supreme commander of the U.S. Allied Forces in Japan, stayed in Japan for 7 years, eating and drinking spicy. What about the countries that agree to send troops together? Why did this good thing end up falling only on the head of the United States? How should Stalin, who had always been aggressive, treat himself?
In fact, the two were really angry about this.
Stalin's proposal at the time was to divide and occupy the country as Germany did, and clearly stated that the piece of Hokkaido that the Soviet Union wanted was Japan. MacArthur naturally knew that once the Soviets had entered the country and tasted the sweetness, it would be more difficult to get it out of the way than to ascend to the sky. This is not his biggest fear, his biggest fear is that if the Soviet Union transforms Japan into a communist country, it will be the result that the United States does not want to see.
Disagreeing, and not being able to say it clearly, MacArthur changed the veto of the law. First of all, I expressed my gratitude to the Soviet Union for its assistance to the occupation of Japan. In order to express gratitude, there is such a "good place" for the Soviet army to garrison, where? It is the northern part of honshu Island, which is located in central Japan, extremely desolate, surrounded by the US military base of Kiyichimizu.
Stalin understood that to send him away with such a dangerous wasteland was obviously to provoke people. Stalin immediately said that in order to safeguard the interests of the Soviet Union, he might send troops to Hokkaido, and even use force. This is the rhythm of directly tearing the face.
MacArthur's temper was directly intimidated: If you let a Soviet soldier stationed here, I would send a division of the American army to throw them into the sea.
Just in case, MacArthur also specifically threatened the Major General who represented Stalin to Japan: If a Soviet soldier enters Japan without my authorization, I will immediately send the entire Soviet diplomatic corps, including you, to prison.
Stalin saw that the goods were harder than himself, so he did not insist on it any longer, but still expressed the right to send troops to Japan. MacArthur said yes, but it must be under the control of the American Eighth Army.
What is the point of such a dispatch? In this way, Stalin stopped talking about his stationing in Japan.
MacArthur was sent either to desolate land or bombed by atomic bombs, and to China was a backward agricultural area of Shikoku Island. This means that countries need to throw money into Japan from home, and occupying Japan will not gain any benefits, and they have all retreated. At that time, China was too busy at home to take care of it. In this way, Japan was enjoyed by the United States alone.
