This was the biggest crisis facing Japan, because the frenzied expansion of the Japanese army annoyed the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was ready to detonate Mount Fuji and make Japan completely disappear from the map!
However, before the Soviet Union acted, the United States dropped two atomic bombs in advance, causing the Japanese army to have to collect troops and "go home to fight the fire".
From the overall perspective of the country, the atomic bomb dropped by the United States caused great losses to Japan.
But it had no intention of saving Japan, and if the United States had not dropped the atomic bomb, what crisis would Japan have encountered?
Today, let the rich and noble take you to understand how Japan formed a grudge with the United States and the Soviet Union in the Soviet Union's Mt. Fuji plan.
Japan after the atomic bombing
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's economy developed rapidly, and Japan's small territory could no longer meet the needs of its growing population.
Coupled with the advent of the global crisis, the Japanese economy began to decline, and Japan began to invade the outside world in order to divert the economic crisis, expand its territory, and resolve the social contradictions between people and resources.
Subsequently, Japan set its sights on the great power they once worshipped, China.
Perhaps because the pace of aggression in China was too smooth, Japan decided to cooperate with Germany and Italy in waging war against the United States, which had given them countless humiliations.
On December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was in a peaceful situation, the Japanese aircraft carrier aircraft carried out two sneak attacks on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, thus setting off the Pacific War.
Attack on Pearl Harbor
The United States and Japan have fought dozens of battles in the Pacific, and the US military has won more than lost, and has a slight victory. But it could not withstand Japan's crazy brainwashing at home, and also formed a team to resist the powerful U.S. army, the "Kamikaze Special Attack Team".
This team was formed by Japan in accordance with the requirements of "one man, one blow, one bullet for one ship" by using its own Bushido spirit.
Its purpose is to target powerful U.S. naval vessels, a special squad that carries out suicide attacks against the U.S. Navy.
In February 1945, in order to get rid of japan's maggot-like harassment, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain convened a key conference in the Soviet Union for the new post-war world order and the distribution of interests, the "Yalta Conference".
Yalta Conference
At that time, on the European battlefield, the United States and Britain alliance had basically crushed Germany's attempts, and the European battlefield was about to win, but the Asian battlefield was not optimistic.
In order to end the Pacific War as soon as possible, the United States hoped that the Soviet Union would terminate the agreement with Japan not to fight and join the war with Japan as soon as possible, and it would be best to contain the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield so that it could not support the operation with the US army on the Pacific islands.
It was at this meeting that Stalin promised to participate in the war against Japan within 2-3 months after the end of the European theater.
But the Japanese army at that time was a mad dog that caught who bit whom, and the Soviet Union had seen it before it signed the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty with Japan.
So the Soviet Union began to think, how can this problem be solved quickly and thoroughly?
Militarily, the Soviet Union did not have a way to destroy the Japanese army with one blow, so it set its sights on Mount Fuji, which Japan is proud of!
While Japan often praises the beauty of Mt. Fuji, if given the option, Japan would rather not have this beautiful iconic mountain range because Mt. Fuji is an "active volcano"!
Mount Fuji
The harm of the volcano can be imagined, once it erupts, even the steel and iron beasts will be reduced to ashes.
Not to mention that Japan is a country with many earthquakes, and once Mount Fuji is awakened, even if the magma does not cover the whole of Japan, the ensuing earthquake will cause devastating damage to Japan.
Why did the Soviet Union have such terrible ideas, and how exactly did they plan?
The contradictions between Japan and Russia have intensified over the years
This is the evil result of the accumulation of contradictions between Japan and Russia, and when the contradictions between the Soviet Union and Japan lasted from the Opium War to World War II, and finally could not help but attack them, the United States preemptively dropped the atomic bomb, and Japan also picked up a small life!
In December 1945, the United States, annoyed by Japan's rapidly expanding ambitions, dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Because of these two atomic bombs, Japan suffered 137,000 casualties, and part of the area was contaminated by nuclear pollution, creating many abandoned cities, making Japan's already narrow territory more crowded
More importantly, Japan's plans to expand abroad were all in vain, and it could only choose to surrender unconditionally and strive to preserve its small island nation.
Japan surrendered
Japan thought that the Atomic Bomb of the United States was already their nightmare, but without these two atomic bombs, Japan would fall directly into hell!
In 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a long-hidden plan for Japan came to light.
The Soviet Union had an even crazier plan than the blow caused by the Atomic Bomb dropped by the United States.
That's to detonate Mt. Fuji!
If nothing else, in the final plan of the Soviet Union, they wanted Japan to disappear from the face of the earth.
But this kind of action similar to the annihilation of the country is a violation of the provisions of modern warfare, what makes the Soviet Union hate Japan so much?
The reason why the Soviet Union was so "ruthless" to the Japanese army stemmed from the long-standing contradictions between the two countries.
In the mid-19th century, Russia took advantage of the turmoil of the Opium War to occupy the mainland north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Ussuri River. But Russia was not satisfied, because large tracts of land in Russia could not be inhabited, and they wanted to develop and create a population, and they could only plunder the lands of other countries.
Tsarist Russia has always regarded the three northeastern provinces as its sphere of influence, but in the "Maguan Treaty", Japan occupied the Liaodong Peninsula, and finally under the interference of Russia and France, it was forced to sell to China, in order to thank Russia, Li Hongzhang gave up many benefits.
Treaty of Maguan
Therefore, in order to compete for colonies, these invaders have changed from working together to suppress China's partners at the beginning to enemies competing for interests.
Japan wants to expand its territory and targets China, which is a big fat piece, and russia also has intentions for China.
In 1904, Japan and Russia invariably set their sights on Lushun, and in order to compete for Lushun, the two sides fought two wars in the land of Lushun, and finally Japan won the victory.
Russia also remembered this humiliating vendetta, not only because they lost to Japan, but also because they had built a "town tower" to commemorate the war, and where could the Soviet Union swallow this breath in the face of such a glorious and just insult from Japan?
In 1931, Japan, stationed in China, occupied the three northeastern provinces, completely annoying Russia.
In 1945, after the victory in the European theater, the Soviet Union joined the Chinese battlefield and launched the Manchurian Campaign.
The Soviet Union's new hatred and old hatred of Japan were all vented, and the 760,000 troops invested by the Japanese army were wounded by the Soviet Union and more than 600,000 people were captured.
Japanese prisoners
Some of these 600,000 prisoners of war were brought back to China by the Soviet Union and sent to the extremely cold regions of Siberia for labor, and more than 50,000 Japanese prisoners of war froze to death alone!
But even so, the Japanese army still put forward the "100 million jade fragment plan" in an attempt to launch a counter-offensive, expand the age range of conscription in the country, and mandatorily require men aged 16 to 60 to join the army.
In order to completely crush the ambitions of the Japanese army and end the war, the Soviet Union decided to send heavy bombers to detonate Mt. Fuji.
The consequences of detonating Mt. Fuji
This was the most inhuman aggressor of World War II, and the only country that had been patronized by the atomic bombs of other countries, Japan!
After unanimous discussions between Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, they hoped that the Soviet Union would assist China and defeat Japan as soon as possible.
So the Soviets came up with a plan to detonate Mount Fuji in Japan, and they were not utopian.
After careful calculations by Soviet experts, the Soviets concluded that only "500 Stalin bombs" were needed to cause enough earthquakes to erupt on Mount Fuji.
However, they needed a professional Air Force throwing force to complete the task.
In the 1940s, the Soviet Union launched operations and secretly trained an air force team, the Eagle Flying Squadron.
The main practice items of this squad were load-bearing flight and "aerial throwing", and in order to achieve the ability to carry more bombs, the Soviet Union also developed a load-load bomber "PE-8", which can be described as painstaking.
PE-8 bomber
Mt. Fuji is a symbol of the Spirit and Culture of the Japanese people, and it is also the highest peak in Japan, and for Japan, this mountain that cannot be removed is a sharp blade hanging from the neck, and it is also a face that adds glory to Japan.
Although Mt. Fuji has not moved much lately, it will only occasionally breathe.
However, since the beginning of history, Mt. Fuji has recorded 18 outbreaks, the most recent of which was in 1707.
If Mt. Fuji does erupt, it will have incalculable consequences, starting with earthquakes and tsunamis.
Although Japan is a country with many earthquakes, the earthquake caused by volcanic eruptions will cause the movement of the earth's crust, which will not only cause the earth to crack, but also cause a tsunami to strike, and the power of nature is naturally unstoppable by man.
Even if Japan survived the earthquake, a large amount of magma gushed out next, covering everywhere it went.
Moreover, Japanese houses mostly use wooden structures, and encountering magma will cause fires, which is enough to bring devastating disasters to areas within a radius of 100 miles.
What's more, with the magma eruption, there will be a large amount of volcanic ash and toxic gases, which will cause losses to the surrounding residents and even neighboring countries.
Volcanic eruptions
In July 1945, while the Soviet Union was secretly planning to detonate Mount Fuji, the United States developed an atomic bomb.
After the experiment, the United States can't wait to personally avenge the bombing of Pearl Harbor!
A month later, Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed one after another, resulting in countless casualties among the Japanese.
The power of this weapon was beyond their imagination, and it did not cost a single soldier, and with only two atomic bombs, Japan chose to surrender.
But the atomic bomb was particularly damaging to the environment, and after that it was met with international opposition, and even the study of the atomic bomb was not allowed!
After suffering a huge blow in Japan, it had no choice but to surrender.
Since Japan has surrendered, it would be an unjust war to launch a war against it, and the Soviet Union could only shelve this Mt. Fuji plan and press it to the bottom of the box!
Perhaps the Soviet Union also regretted that it did not implement the plan earlier, after all, Japan was self-inflicted and was shouted down by the whole world, even if the Soviet Union carried out a nation-destroying attack on Japan, it was justified, but it was a pity that a good opportunity was wasted!
