To say which war in history is impressive, I think many people will have the name of the Second World War in their minds, and this war can be said to be a war of great weight in the annals of history.
But maybe you don't know that there was a far-sighted general on the battlefield who knew from the beginning that the Japanese army would lose, so he was not afraid when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Who is he?
What are the legends of his life?
He was Douglas MacArthur, born in 1880 to a military family in a suburban area of the United States, who showed some great courage and amazing talent at a young age, and later entered the West Point Military Academy in one fell swoop.
When he graduated, he set a record for the highest military school with excellent results, and in the past many years, no one has been able to break this score.
In fact, MacArthur was able to embark on the military road, in fact, he was influenced by his father, who also served in the military, which brought him great inspiration.
So much so that he later succeeded in serving as the principal of the Military Academy at West Point, keeping the school in good order.
His most reasonable words are still hanging in the school, on which are engraved his words: "Today, the seeds sown on the friendly field, tomorrow, will surely reap the fruits of victory on the battlefield!" ”
His days as headmaster at West Point always filled him with memories that almost left a shadow.
Although he was always fearless and even gave people a feeling of madness in the face of the outside world, the training at West Point still left a shadow on him, which was one of the few moments he felt afraid, it was a period of devil training at West Point, the training method was nothing more than to make the recruits suffer and suffer and even abuse, even MacArthur, who had super military literacy, felt afraid.
The veterans assigned a project to all the recruits, and although the project was very interesting and creative in the eyes of the veterans, it was a bit too cruel for the recruits.
All the recruits stood on the broken glass chips to imitate the eagle spreading its wings and flying, and MacArthur stood naked on the glass chips crouching down and standing up, and after repeating it many times, MacArthur's legs could no longer withstand the pressure, and he passed out.
This painful memory made MacArthur lose hope in the world for a long time.
But it was also this story that allowed him to learn a lot later in life.
His ability to achieve such an achievement is inextricably linked to his family's influence. In addition to the fact that there were people in the family who served in the army, there was also the constant encouragement of my mother.
If it weren't for the encouragement his mother had given him all the time, let him bravely pursue his dreams.
MacArthur's greatest strength was far more than his military talent, but his willpower and judgment, which could be seen when he signed the instrument of surrender with Japan.
The defeat of the Japanese army was directly related to MacArthur, so the Japanese regarded MacArthur as a thorn in the side, first shocking the Japanese army and then disintegrating willpower.
Later, the Emperor of Japan set up a banquet to entertain MacArthur.
At this time, Japan was completely controlled by the US military, MacArthur said that the emperor did not dare to say two, and Japan even revised the constitution because of this, and Japan at this time was completely following the command of the United States.
The Emperor gave MacArthur a toast with great respect, and MacArthur, who had drunk the wine, began to grow proud and talked more.
As they spoke, they talked about many military experts in ancient and modern China and abroad, including many famous generals from Europe and the United States, but none of them in Asia were listed on this list.
The emperor's face was not very good-looking, but he was not good at seizures.
Who knows, MacArthur said, and none of the military men I admire most are listed above, but in Asia.
The emperor was even more surprised, and in addition to being shocked, he quickly asked who it was?
MacArthur said slowly, "He is Genghis Khan of China." Asked why genghis Khan was worshipped, MacArthur said, "He single-handedly created a unique iron riding style, which was a great feat at the time." He took a sip of wine and kept praising Genghis Khan, who still thinks that He was the one who changed history and the pride of Chinese.
No one expected that MacArthur, who had always been arrogant, would have admirers?
This is somewhat incredible. But then again, his arrogance was also based on his superior military prowess, because few in the U.S. military at the time could match him.
