In the Second World War, Japan finally surrendered despite resistance from many countries. At 7:30 a.m. on September 2, 1945, Japan's surrender ceremony was suspended aboard the USS Missouri, aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. When the ceremony of surrender officially begins, representatives of various countries enter the scene in order. In view of China's great contribution to the fight against Japanese aggression, Chinese representatives took the lead in entering, followed by representatives from various countries in the order of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. At nine o'clock, the ceremony officially begins. MacArthur first gave a speech at the surrender ceremony, but MacArthur's speech did not meet most people's appetites. Because MacArthur did not highlight that Japan was the party that surrendered, but said that the two sides were negotiating together, thus restoring peace. In this way, the crimes committed by Japan are greatly offset. Even on such a major occasion as the ceremony of surrender, Japan still produced some moths.
Japan's unconditional surrender has become a foregone conclusion, but in the surrender document, Japan does not indicate "Japan's unconditional surrender.". On August 10, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan discovered that Japan had no chance to turn around, and that victory or defeat had been decided. The Emperor of Japan convened a meeting and, after deliberation, decided to accept the Potsdam Proclamation without changing Japan's current political system. This means that During World War II, Hirohito did not surrender unconditionally, and he made a secret condition to the US military to retain the emperor system. On the 12th, the U.S. military replied to Japan, tacitly agreeing that Japan would not abolish the emperor, but the emperor's power would be subject to the supreme commander of the Allied forces. In this way, however, this would be contrary to some of the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation, which clearly stated that Japanese imperialism would be eradicated permanently and that Japanese war criminals would be brought to trial. What caused this situation in World War II is closely related to the Emperor of Japan. Because the Japanese emperor held real power and was the commander of the three armed forces, a series of wars launched by Japan were ordered by the emperor.
Although the Japanese emperor was sinister and cunning and tried to fool through the customs, the minutes of japan's imperial meeting can prove that Emperor Hirohito was the culprit in waging the war. If Japan could be severely punished according to the Potsdam Proclamation, then Japan could not continue to be arrogant, but if the United States intervened like this, Hirohito could continue to be the emperor unharmed. Since the emperor did not have to be deposed, there was no need for Hirohito to whisper, and on the 14th, Emperor Hirohito issued a surrender to Japan, but there was no mention in the edict that it was their surrender to the allies. What was shown in the edict was Japan's acceptance of the Allied declaration of peace and the glorification of its own reasons for aggression against other countries.
Today, we all know that Japan still refuses to admit that they have invaded China, relying on the "declaration of surrender" that they had previously been disguised. In order to cover up the crimes they had committed and to pretend that they were fighting for justice, the Japanese burned all the classified documents. The documents in Tokyo alone burned for three days. Although Japan destroyed records of poison gas warfare, germ warfare, and the "three lights" policy, the poison gas bombs that remained in many parts of China remained in place. Because they burned the classified documents, the exact location of most of the gas bombs is no longer available. Because the documents recording the gas bombs were destroyed, the Japanese side escaped responsibility for dismantling them.
