What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
"The winner is the king, the loser is the coward" This is an eternal truth, as the leader of the losing side, often either the head falls to the ground, or the wall is thought.
After the end of World War II, as a defeated country in Japan, Emperor Hirohito was recognized as the world's first major war criminal, but he was such a person who committed the most heinous crimes, but he was deeply favored by the lucky male gods, and instead of accepting the trial of the law, he sat on the throne of the emperor until his old age.
What is advocated in Japan is militarism, and there is only one belief in militarism, that is, loyalty to the emperor, the emperor said that to do the battle, the emperor said to fight the war, then to end the war, it is such a person with supreme power, and finally did not appear in the Tokyo Court, which was very controversial at that time.
The U.S. government gave the power of the Tokyo trial to the Allied commander-in-chief, MacArthur, and whether or not to arrest the emperor was also a matter of MacArthur's words. So why did MacArthur favor Emperor Hirohito so much?
In fact, there was indeed an emperor in the original list of war criminals, and MacArthur had a tendency to judge the emperor, thinking:
"After this battle is over, I will return from the battle in triumph, and it is a matter of certainty to become president after I return."
Throughout the history of the United States, every commander who won the victory and returned to the DPRK has basically become the president, and so far there are 30 soldiers among the 43 presidents, including Washington and Grant, who won the victory and returned to the DPRK.
At that time, MacArthur was not the only candidate, he also had a rival - Eisenhower, who was the commander-in-chief of the European theater in World War II, and MacArthur was the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater, so MacArthur first thought of:
"Now as the supreme commander of the occupation of Japan, I have to let Japan stabilize first, don't let Japan stab louzi for me, there are endless battles every day, if I sacrifice too many American soldiers, then how can I go back to see their parents and how can I run for president?"
At this time, MacArthur was very aware of the emperor's position in Japan, and once you captured the emperor, the Japanese were determined to give you a life, and there would really be a situation of "preferring to crush a hundred million jade".
This created a difficult situation, the emperor was a recognized war criminal, and the public release of this public opinion was enough for MacArthur to drink a pot.
In 1945, MacArthur ostensibly sent someone to investigate the emperor, but in fact the brother sent was a pro-Japanese faction, mainly to make Japan stable, so that it would appear that he could adjust Japan very well, and let the American soldiers return to their country safely. Thus MacArthur became the emperor's lucky male god.
The emperor escaped justice, and as for what he did for MacArthur, whether it really had something to do with a meeting, the next time we write a single article to reveal the secret.
MacArthur's actions brought stability to Japan, in addition to MacArthur also formulated a constitution for Japan, which has been used to this day, the Japanese famine, MacArthur against the anti-Japanese pressure of Congress to revitalize Japan, but also transferred a large amount of grain from the United States.
On the day of MacArthur's departure, he really enjoyed the treatment of an international superstar, from his official residence to the Tokyo airport citizens lined up and shouted: "Grand Marshal, Grand Marshal, Grand Marshal...", this Japanese really has milk is a mother, two atomic bombs have razed your country's Nagasaki and Hiroshima to the ground, this can even shout "Grand Marshal" with tears!
As the old saying goes, "Man is not as good as heaven", just a few years later, MacArthur wanted to drop atomic bombs at China in the Korean battlefield, and in 1951 Truman let him go home to retire.
Eisenhower, the grand marshal who returned from his triumph in 1953, was put on the presidential throne by the American people...
