Chinese, English, Japanese is the different language system of the three countries, although the Japanese script is from China, but the changes in the past thousand years, some Chinese characters in Japan and Chinese there is still a big gap, this cultural difference, so that Japan lost 600,000 people in World War II.
World War II, is the largest war in human history, the war from Europe to Asia, from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific, there have been 61 countries and regions, more than 2 billion people were involved in the war, more than 90 million casualties, the last battle of World War II is Hiroshima Nagasaki two atomic bombs.
In 1945, Japan's defeat was decided, but the Japanese army was still stubbornly resisting, although the US military successfully landed on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, but the Allied forces also paid nearly 80,000 casualties, such a result, had to let the US military reassess the cost of a complete landing in Japan.
They estimated that the Allied casualties would be more than 1 million (actually 150,000), which was unbearable, the Allies were exhausted, and no country was willing to use 1 million people to take Japan, in order to reduce Allied casualties and to contain the Expansion of the Soviet Union in the Far East.
On July 26, 1945, the United States, Britain, and China jointly issued the Potsdam Proclamation, demanding Japan's unconditional surrender, and the next day, Japanese Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki convened a cabinet meeting.
On the 29th, Suzuki issued a statement: The declaration of the United States, Britain and China is tantamount to the Cairo Declaration, "Japan does not think that it has so-called great value, only silent killing", silent killing in Japanese has two translations, one is "no comment", the other is "ignore".
At that time, all the reporters translated "silent killing" as "ignore", and the American reporter translated it as "Reject", from the perspective of the United States, Japan was iron-hearted to refuse to surrender, and the United States needed to stop the Soviet Union, so on August 6, the first atomic bomb was surrendered on Hiroshima.
With the atomic bomb as the center, 60,000 houses were destroyed within a 14-square-kilometer radius, and the heat of more than 6,000 degrees turned everything into ashes, but in the face of the atomic bomb, Japan completely rejected the Potsdam Proclamation, and even claimed that a meteorite hit Hiroshima.
Japan believes that the US military only has one atomic bomb, and depends on the mediation of the Soviet Union, Japan wants to accept conditional surrender, and is ready to launch the "Jade Fragment Plan" at any time, that is, the whole people are soldiers, intending to break the net, and the Soviet Union also has some opinions on the United States issuing the Potsdam Proclamation without notifying it.
The Soviet Union announced its accession to the Potsdam Declaration on August 8, and Japan received an answer from the Soviet Union that Japan was still continuing the war and refused to accept the Potsdam Proclamation, so Japan's request for mediation had lost all ground, and it accepted the request of the League of Nations to declare a declaration of war on Japan on August 9.
At 11:30 a.m. on the day when the Soviet Union was preparing to send troops, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, and 270,000 people in Nagasaki, 60,000 people were buried in the fire on the spot, two atomic bombs, so that Japan chose to surrender, according to the data, because of the atomic bomb radiation and more than 600,000 people died directly or indirectly.
After the end of World War II, the Japanese people blamed the prime minister, and the Japanese prime minister put the responsibility on the translator, who believed that the translator did not express the meaning in place, and later proved that there was indeed a deviation, but Japan did not reflect on the war, but made itself a "victim".
They packaged the little boy standing in the crematorium as a typical atomic bomb victim, and in Western countries, they also condemned the use of atomic bombs by the US military, and even said that as long as tens of thousands of people were sacrificed, they could take Japan, why should they use atomic bombs, and 600,000 died.
The American pilot who dropped the atomic bomb, retired Major General Charles Sweeney of the Air Force, gave a speech to the US Congress in 1995, talking about the atomic bomb problem, clarifying the flood of love, he said "there is no wronged soul under the atomic bomb", you have not participated in the war, you have no idea how the Japanese army went all out to kill more Americans...
