Now watching the TV series in the Japanese soldiers during World War II are often the image of "death squads", it seems that they are not afraid of death at all, many people are very confused, the land occupied by Japan's aggression and occupation has not been distributed to them, why do these people want to die for militarism? Indeed, in World War II, especially at the end of World War II, the Japanese even put forward the slogan of "one hundred million jade fragments" and prepared to fight with the Americans to the end, it seems that they are "not afraid of death"
But this is not the case, behind the Japanese army's "not afraid of death" is a very cruel truth, and even some systems are still circulating in Japan, even the Americans are disgusted.
First of all, the most direct reason behind "not being afraid of death" is that the Japanese army adopts the "thin pension" system, which the Japanese call "grace law."
What does it mean, in fact, is the literal meaning, Japanese soldiers usually receive a very low salary, far less than the armies of other countries at the same time. But when they die on the battlefield, they receive a very generous "pension."
This pension is not a one-time pension, according to the regulations of Japan during World War II, the pension can be paid for four generations. What a probability, any Japanese soldier died, not only his wife and children can receive a sum of money, until his grandson can also receive a pension. This stimulates many Japanese soldiers to simply die on the battlefield, and it is more meaningful to go back alive than to die directly in battle, and naturally rush up without death.
After the war, Americans were very disgusted with Japan's "grace law" and once abandoned this evil rule that could be said to force soldiers to die. But after MacArthur left Japan, Japan reinstated the law, after all, there are still a large number of descendants of Japanese War II war criminals waiting to receive money. Restoration alone does not count, and the new "Grace Law" also stipulates that within the "three relatives" of a fallen soldier, if the standard of living is lower than the regulations, they can also receive a temporary pension.
As a result, the Japanese people like to climb the status of "family members of fallen soldiers" and seek money from the state when they encounter difficulties. In Japan's current budget, the second largest expenditure is pensions, which shows how many people receive money every year. Stimulated by such a high "welfare" in Japan, it is no wonder that some people rush to "send them to death" to benefit four generations. Whether you say this rule is cruel or not, Americans can't look at it.
But the stimulation of money alone is not enough, after all, the salary is too small, always can not wait for the "death" to let the descendants receive pensions, Japanese militarism sacrificed the second magic weapon - spiritual brainwashing.
Japanese militarism brainwashing is the same as German Nazism, Germany is to establish Hitler as the object of worship, japan has had a natural object of worship for the emperor since ancient times.
This is followed by a brainwashing education for ordinary people from an early age, requiring them to be loyal to the Emperor of Japan and to deal with disobedience or other opinions. Slowly, the whole Japanese society became crazy worship of the Japanese emperor, and at this time, militarism was only slightly instigated in the name of the emperor, and the Japanese immediately beat the chicken blood.
At that time, the hostile target set up by the Japanese was China, and the idea of invading China was constantly instilled. Tell these Japanese soldiers that they joined the army to fight for the emperor, it is "honorable", and when they die, the emperor will take care of their families, giving them four generations the so-called "pension". This has thrown some young Japanese people who have never been exposed to the outside world into a complete madness, which is what prompted them to join the army, to join the wave of Japanese militarism, and to be proud of it.
When a society is completely insane, rational people become outliers, as was the case in Japan, where ambition and fanaticism devoured everyone.
The current pyramid schemes are much inferior to Japanese militarism and German Nazism, and they simply drive your desires, and the fascists want you to willingly send them to their deaths.
Even so, Japanese militarism does not feel enough, because fanaticism is time-sensitive, and pensions cannot completely eliminate the Japanese fear of death.
So they developed something else, an evil object that has harmed future generations to this day—methamphetamine.
This thing had a more popular name after the war called "methamphetamine", and it is currently one of the most harmful drugs in the world. Drugs and war are two evil things, but they have become a perfect match at the hands of Japanese militarism, and nothing can make people lose their minds faster than drugs.
In some special cases, the Japanese used "methamphetamine" to control soldiers and temporarily eliminate their fear of death. In the later stages of World War II, the United States had the initiative on the battlefield, and at the same time the Japanese had a fatal problem, and the industrial level could not keep up. At this time, Japan chose to build a simpler, but never-return suicide fighter, Sakura, and set up the infamous "Kamikaze" to let some young soldiers die, fighting with the Americans in the real sense.
According to the recollections of later survivors, many of the people who were forced to get on the plane at that time were shaking their legs, and they were afraid of death.
At this time, some people in the Japanese army used drugs to stimulate these young people who were about to embark on the last part of their lives and eliminate their fear of death.
Knowing that there is no return, many people resist and resist from the heart, but resistance is to be shot, and this kind of shooting is humiliating, and his family does not have any pension after his death. In contrast, driving a "cherry blossom" to death, at least after death, the family members can still get the care they deserve, and they may even be able to enter the Yasukuni Shrine. More people chose the latter, and there was no other answer to this multiple choice question anyway, and they simply closed their eyes.
The "kamikaze" who take drugs and are threatened to board the plane also have a relatively high wreckage rate in the air, and few people can really complete the task successfully, and most of them are sent to their deaths in vain. Of course, there are also some people who are really completely brainwashed, do not need drug stimulation at all, do not care about any pension, is to give life to militarism, this kind of madman is terrible, has been a humanoid machine.
It is nature for man to be born to resist death, and except for a very small number of people who are not afraid of death for the sake of faith, the vast majority of people are afraid of death.
Therefore, every time someone boasts that the Japanese are "not afraid of death" in battle, it is quite ridiculous, where they are not afraid of death, under the rule of Japanese militarism, death is more valuable than living. This is also the reason why Japan was controlled by the Americans for a long time after the war, but they did not resent the Americans, who were much stronger than militarism, although they were not good people. American soldiers did not fail to commit crimes in Japan, and the rape rate in Japan after World War II was so high that MacArthur was embarrassed.
