At noon on August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan officially announced Japan's surrender by radio. All the Chinese who were waiting for the news were excited for a while, but the punishment for japanese war criminals that followed was not satisfactory. Today, we have all seen the results, not only has Emperor Hirohito not been prosecuted, but the imperial system has not been abolished.
So what kind of person was Emperor Hirohito, and how did he escape the punishment of the Nazis? Emperor Hirohito was born in 1901, during the period of weakness in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic. Japan, which had long set its sights on Manchuria, instilled the spirit of "advocating Bushido" into Hirohito, who was still a child.
Of course, ideological indoctrination was not enough, and action had to be taken to educate Emperor Hirohito. When Hirohito was 11 years old, his grandfather Emperor Meiji died, and Emperor Meiji's most loyal "meat bomb general" and Hirohito's teacher, Admiral Nogi Yoshinori, also took his wife to the death of Emperor Meiji. This incident had a great spiritual impact on Emperor Hirohito.
Later, during his visit to the West, Hirohito became interested in the military again, and he had a statue of Napoleon in his study. At this point, he completely changed from "Shangwu" to a prince who advocated militarism, and although the Japanese popular movement at that time overshadowed a wave, but with the protection of the imperial family and ministers, Hirohito was still firmly on the throne in 1924.
In 1928, former Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka resigned under his rebuke and died in panic shortly after. In 1931, the Japanese prime minister and officers launched a war of aggression against China without the "interference" of the imperial family, and afterwards, Emperor Hirohito personally awarded the medal to the generals who occupied the three eastern provinces of China and began a "military career".
In 1936, Emperor Hirohito staged a number of military coups, and finally took control of the Shobu in his hands. Then came the infamous all-out war of aggression against China in 1937. Emperor Hirohito's cunning allowed him to make the cabinet act according to his will, and he did not object to any proposal, but only gave instructions to agree.
Therefore, this is a carefully arranged bureau by Emperor Hirohito, and it is also the best excuse for the royal family to exonerate. When he announced Japan's defeat, many soldiers committed suicide by cutting their stomachs voluntarily or passively, because they believed that it was a shame not to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, not to repent of their loyal Japanese cabinet, let alone to repent of their brutal deeds.
Even the Japanese Prime Minister at the time, Hideki Tojo, did not apologize to the emperor for his sins, but chose to commit suicide with a pistol, and was also ridiculed by the world, believing that he was a person who had no timidity and no responsibility. In short, countless Japanese war criminals once again saved their emperor in this shocking way.
The American general MacArthur, who did not quite understand the profound meaning of this, also asked Emperor Hirohito that they all committed suicide after The defeat of Japan, and why did you not cut your abdomen. Emperor Hirohito coldly replied with 4 words: "Helpless." With just these 4 words, he shirked his responsibility completely.
Emperor Hirohito described himself as a puppet emperor without any sovereignty. He claimed to be opposed to war, but he could do nothing about Japan's aggression. In the surrender edict, he did not even mention the words of "surrender" surrender or "defeat", but repeatedly emphasized that he was "unaware" of the war.
Shamefully, it was not only the Japanese government that accepted this statement, but the US general MacArthur supported this statement because of the drive of interests, so Emperor Hirohito was acquitted, and the Japanese emperor system, which should have been abolished, was also preserved. Emperor Hirohito lived to his death in 1989, and his ideas have influenced Generations of Japanese.
Perhaps in this warless trial without smoke, everyone will feel the humiliation brought about by weakness and understand that only by being strong can we gain equal dignity and attention. Today, China is still strong, and the king of blood and tears that happened in this land will never be forgotten, and the alarm bell will always sound!
