On July 7, 1937, Japanese troops wanted to enter Wanping City in search of the lost Japanese. After being refused, it opened fire on the garrison and randomly shelled the city of Wanping. Then the Japanese army began a full-scale war of aggression. The inhumane Japanese army also created the Nanjing Massacre, hurting the unarmed Chinese people. Therefore, Chinese hate the Japanese and always remember the shame of the country. In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. The Japanese Emperor's announcement of surrender was broadcast all over the world, and the whole country was full of joy. Many Japanese generals could not accept their defeat and chose to commit suicide. When the Japanese emperor was asked why he did not commit suicide like they did, the Japanese emperor said only 4 words.
In fact, the Japanese committed suicide by cutting their abdomen, not by inserting a knife into their stomachs at will, but as a solemn ritual. Before the abdomen is cut, they will change into the most important clothes, take out their ancestral knife, wipe it with a white cloth, kneel directly in front of the knife, then slowly pick up the knife and insert it into the abdomen, while they quickly and horizontally cut the abdomen when they are conscious. Of course, since the abdominal incision does not die immediately, but lasts for a period of time, the body of the abdominal incision may lose control, automatically twist on the ground, and eventually die a painful death.
Therefore, to prevent this indecent scene, there is usually an intervener who kills him immediately after the abdominal cut is completed to avoid him from suffering more pain. After japan's defeat, many generals returned to the emperor without face, so they chose to cut their abdomen. At that time, General MacArthur was in charge of negotiations after Japan's surrender, so he had more opportunities to contact the Japanese emperor. MacArthur asked the Emperor directly why the Emperor of Japan did not commit suicide.
Ask him why he didn't commit suicide like other brave generals, showing his loyalty to the Empire of Japan. In contrast, the Japanese emperor answered only four words, "powerless." These four words sound very simple, but in fact they reflect the Japanese Emperor's attitude to the whole war, which is not my business. The Japanese emperor was powerless to put the blame on his generals, which meant he had no intention of invading China. He was strongly opposed to it, but they had to fight China, and they had no choice.
That is, it was not his fault, but the result of the general's disobedience. I'm not wrong, I'm not sorry for anyone, so I have no reason to kill myself, so there's nothing I can do about it. It seems like a big joke that the Japanese emperor never apologized to China for China's war of aggression, which is hypocritical and disgusting.
