After the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, was stationed by the United States, and these American troops controlled the future direction and destiny of Japan, which made Japan very scared.
In order to get leniency from MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US forces stationed in Japan, the Japanese authorities, after repeated deliberation, finally decided to use the beauty meter to seduce MacArthur, and the heroine of the beauty meter was the actress who was popular in Japan at that time - Setsuko Hara.
What kind of means did Setsuko Hara have to make a man like MacArthur bend her waist? Why was MacArthur so feared by the Japanese authorities?
Born into a military family, he had a vendetta with Japan in his early years
When it comes to MacArthur, I believe that anyone who has carefully studied the modern history of the world on the mainland will know his famous name, but what is less known is that MacArthur's father, MacArthur Sr., was also an excellent American officer.
In the early eighties of the nineteenth century, MacArthur was born into an upper-class family in the United States, his father had a high status in the United States Army, was a respected American Army officer, and at the peak of his career, the elder MacArthur even commanded the entire Pacific region of the United States.
Because his father was an excellent soldier, MacArthur was cultivated by his father from an early age, and his dream was to become a soldier who won glory for America.
MacArthur, who had lofty ideals, never slacked off for a moment, and he began to exercise his physical fitness from a young age, and the training standards were even compared with those of his father's soldiers.
God always favors those who work hard, and MacArthur has this tenacity that allowed him to finally be admitted to the American military academy - West Point, and after successfully graduating, MacArthur joined the United States Army and officially became an American soldier.
At that time, during the First World War, MacArthur became the commander of a division of the United States Army with his own efforts, and won nearly twenty wars, which made MacArthur a young American in the international limelight for a while.
Originally, after the end of World War I, MacArthur returned to his alma mater, West Point Military Academy, as a teacher for students, but after a few years of stability, there were still wars between countries around the world, which made MacArthur urgently recalled by the US Army to lead the US army.
MacArthur fought bravely all his life, and the greatest shame of his war career came from Japan. MacArthur was appointed by U.S. President Hoover during World War II as commander-in-chief of the U.S.-Philippine Coalition.
During his stay in the Philippines, the Philippines was slaughtered by the Japanese army, but the US-Philippine coalition was defeated by the Japanese army, and was beaten without any way to fight back, and finally could only be forced to retreat to Australia, which also made MacArthur hate Japan and regard this war as his lifelong shame.
Since then, MacArthur has vowed to God that if Japan falls into his hands one day, he will not make Japan happy.
Heaven seemed to favor MacArthur, and soon MacArthur got a chance to take revenge.
Stationed in Japan to control the power of life and death in Japan
At the end of World War II, Japan, already at the end of its crossbow, made a decision that they regretted for the rest of their lives - to attack Pearl Harbor in the United States.
Japan's actions cost the United States a lot of losses, which also caused the anger of the United States, which brought out the world's most advanced military weapons and sent the best American soldiers into the battle.
With the powerful helper of the United States and the efforts of all countries in the world, the anti-fascist war soon came to an end, and after joint discussion among the United States, it was finally decided that the United States would take over the next handling of Japan.
After a resolution by the US authorities, it was finally decided that MacArthur would be the supreme commander-in-chief of the US forces in Japan, giving him full authority over the disposition of Japanese war criminals and whether to abolish the system of succession to the Japanese emperor.
Due to the previous holiday, after MacArthur arrived in Japan, he could be said to have put up the shelf of the American commander, because he wanted MacArthur to be able to show mercy to the Japanese subordinates, so Japanese officials could be said to have put their posture to the minimum.
In the luxurious villa prepared for MacArthur, many important officials of the Japanese authorities were collectively waiting for MacArthur's arrival at the door, but MacArthur did not even give them a single extra look after seeing these Japanese who he disliked.
MacArthur and his cronies skipped these Japanese officials and went directly into the villa, and without any mud and water, directly closed the door of the villa.
Although the Japanese officials, who were snubbed by MacArthur, were angry, they had no choice, because they were unfavorable, and they could only report the current situation to the Japanese emperor.
The Japanese emperor who heard the news was angry and frightened, because of his high status in Japan, all the Japanese people respected him, but whether he could keep the emperor's throne, but he had to rely on MacArthur, thinking of this, the Japanese emperor could only swallow his anger and want to start from other aspects.
In order to please MacArthur, the first thing the Japanese authorities thought of was to buy him with expensive jewelry and gold, but when the Japanese sent things to MacArthur's villa, they were directly thrown out by MacArthur.
There was no way for the Japanese high-ranking officials to come to MacArthur's villa in person, implying that as long as he could treat Japanese war criminals lightly, then the Japanese emperor would grant him the right to unimpeded passage throughout Japan, but this proposal was still despised and rejected by MacArthur.
MacArthur did not love money or power, and the desperate Japanese could only pin their hopes on the last plan—the beauty scheme.
Fascinated by beauty from light hair to Japan
At that time, the most popular female star in Japan was Setsuko Hara, unlike other female stars with a variety of styles, Setsuko Hara had a pure and harmless face, so Setsuko Hara was deeply loved by the Japanese people and once regarded her as Japan's most beautiful female star.
When Japan's top leaders selected candidates to confuse MacArthur, the first thing that came to mind was Setsuko Hara, but this is not a glorious thing, if Setsuko Hara does not agree, then even the Japanese emperor can help, so the Japanese official responsible for lobbying Setsuko Hara is very apprehensive.
But what the Japanese official did not expect was that when he said what the Japanese emperor and senior leaders thought, Setsuko Hara did not immediately turn his face and throw him out of the house, but asked whether he could achieve happiness for the Japanese people if he sacrificed himself. After hearing this question, Japanese officials seriously told Setsuko Hara that as long as he could please MacArthur, then Japan would be saved.
After getting a definite answer, Hara Setsuko did not have the slightest hesitation, she only told the official one word: Hara Setsuko originally thought that she would sacrifice herself for the Japanese emperor.
In this way, in order to encircle MacArthur as soon as possible, the Japanese high-level officials immediately notified the heads of relevant Japanese departments to prepare a grand banquet, and wanted to let Setsuko Hara appear as the heroine, which greatly captured MacArthur's heart.
Since ancient heroes, sad beauty passes, even the brave and warlike MacArthur is no exception. When MacArthur saw the beautiful youth at the dinner party, he was immediately attracted by the woman in front of him who was like a little white flower.
Seeing the success of the beauty scheme, Japanese officials immediately arranged for someone to notify Setsuko Hara, and that night Setsuko Hara was sent to MacArthur's residence by Japanese officials with MacArthur's tacit consent.
MacArthur was forty years older than Setsuko Hara, who was already over sixty years old and had already married and had children in the United States, and his eldest daughter was several years older than Setsuko Hara. Even though Hara Setsuko is as beautiful as a flower, MacArthur will not abandon his wife and son for her, so Hara Setsuko is just MacArthur's unseemly mistress.
Although nameless, Hara Setsuko understood that her mission was to be loyal to the Japanese emperor, so she endured the humiliation of a third party, but became more and more considerate and careful with MacArthur, in order to better please MacArthur's favor, Hara Setsuko even gave up her career in the entertainment industry without hesitation, and then moved to MacArthur's house to live with him wholeheartedly became a housewife.
To get such preferential treatment from the beauty, MacArthur has long been moved and dizzy, and he said to Hara Setsuko that he has reached the point of obedience. Under the pillow wind of Setsuko Harako's intentions and unintentions, some of MacArthur's thoughts were gradually influenced by her.
Originally, MacArthur was ready to severely punish Japanese war criminals because of his hatred of Japan and let them go to the International Military Tribunal to accept sanctions, but Hara Setsuko kept telling MacArthur that if a country's soldiers are not for their own country, then what should the people of this country do? If it was Japan who was oppressed, then MacArthur might not have seen himself.
Hearing Hara Setsuko's words, MacArthur's hardened heart was instantly melted, and he immediately promised Hara Setsuko that he would lightly deal with the war criminals who committed heinous crimes in Japan.
Because of the continuous brainwashing of Setsuko Hara, the Japanese emperor and the Japanese high-level have achieved their goals and perfectly preserved their status.
Until MacArthur received an order from the President of the United States to leave Japan, he did not really severely punish several Japanese war criminals, all of which were fueled by the impetus behind Setsuko Hara. But because MacArthur had his own family in the United States, he did not return home with Setsuko Hara, a delicate beauty.
In the decades after MacArthur left, Setsuko Hara did not have any more scandals, and some Japanese love media broke the news that Setsuko Hara really fell in love with MacArthur during the mission, so she broke off love and kept the festival for MacArthur.
Beautiful women and heroes have always been the talk of people after tea, and what the truth is, I am afraid that only Setsuko Hara and MacArthur themselves know.
