During World War II, Japan committed numerous crimes against Asian countries, and he created the September 18 Incident and the Lugou Bridge Incident in China. Japan also carried out the three-light policy, burning, killing, and robbing the light, resulting in countless people in our country tragically dying under the butcher's knife of the Japanese invaders. Japan also committed many horrific crimes, such as the Nanjing Massacre, the Yangon Massacre, and the Manila Massacre.
A wicked man is his own hell. The Japanese aggressors also paid a heavy price for their own series of crimes. After the end of World War II, Kenji Doihara and Hideki Tojo and other World War II war criminals were sent to the gallows by the Allies, making them pay with their lives for their crimes, but there were two culprits, Emperor Hirohito and Ninji Okamura, who escaped trial.
1. Emperor Hirohito
Emperor Hirohito, the 124th Emperor of Japan, commanded the Kwantung Army to launch the September 18 Incident shortly after he ascended the throne in 1928 and invaded the three eastern provinces of our country. On July 7, 1937, Japan created the Lugou Bridge Incident and began a full-scale war of aggression against China. In the 14 years since, Japan has committed countless crimes in our country. While invading our country, Japan also secretly attacked Pearl Harbor of the United States, attacked the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and other countries, and committed numerous crimes in Asian countries.
As the emperor and leader of Japan, Hirohito is primarily responsible for the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese military in our country and in various Asian countries.
After World War II, Emperor Hirohito, like Hideki Tojo and others, was supposed to be sent to the court and tried justly, but the Americans helped Emperor Hirohito escape punishment for their own benefit. Toward the end of World War II, the Americans were afraid that the Japanese would stubbornly resist and burn the jade stones, causing heavy casualties to the US troops, so they used the preservation of the emperor system as a bargaining chip to urge the Japanese to surrender as soon as possible. After the end of World War II, the United States wanted to use the emperor's spiritual authority to help them control Japan and stabilize the domestic situation in Japan.
Emperor Hirohito was useful to the United States, so the Americans helped him escape the International Military Tribunal. Although Emperor Hirohito did not go to court and accept a just trial, in the hearts of the people of the world, he was a class-A war criminal who had committed many crimes in World War II, and he was a handmaiden who committed heinous crimes against the peoples of all countries. People from all over the world constantly condemned him, keeping Emperor Hirohito alive with the voice of criticism.
In his later years, Emperor Hirohito continued to defend himself by writing memoirs and other means. Emperor Hirohito argued that he had no power and that all major matters in Japan were raised by the ministers and made collectively. Emperor Hirohito also said that during World War II, when Hideki Tojo and others asked him to issue an edict encouraging the Japanese people to fight against various countries, he felt that this was not conducive to peace and refused.
Emperor Hirohito was as clever as a reed, and in the face of iron facts, he was pale and powerless. During World War II, the Japanese Emperor was very powerful, and Emperor Hirohito participated in every major decision of Japan, and he personally ordered the "capture of the enemy capital". Emperor Hirohito knew what the Japanese army was doing in Nanjing, but he did not stop it, resulting in the death of 300,000 people in our country at the hands of the Japanese army.
Emperor Hirohito's shirking and evasion of responsibility made Japan very dissatisfied, and the Japanese felt that Emperor Hirohito should abdicate and apologize. Hirohito, however, coveted power and refused to abdicate. After Japan's defeat, the Japanese emperor lost power under the administration of the United States. Emperor Hirohito was very dissatisfied with this, and he complained: "He is just a paper paste." "But Emperor Hirohito forgot how many people died because of him during World War II, how many people suffered because of him, and he should go to another world to accompany them."
2. Okamura Ninji
Okamura was the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Chinese Dispatch Force. In 1941, when he was the commander of the North China Front, he promoted the "three lights" and "no man's land" policies of burning, killing, and robbing the light, and began to burn and rob in North China and other places. At the same time, the Japanese army also carried out a brutal sweep in the anti-Japanese base areas of our army and carried out a brutal massacre of our civilians.
Okamura Ninji committed an unforgivable crime in our country, and he should have been sent to the gallows like Hideki Tojo and others, but the Nationalist government saw Okamura Ninji's military talent and strategic vision and let him go. The Nationalist government made Okamura Ninji its adviser and gave Okamura special care to help Okamura escape justice and was eventually acquitted by a military court.
In this regard, the people in our country are very dissatisfied and have demanded that Okamura Ninji be severely punished. The Nationalist government insisted on going its own way, but still let Okamura Ningji go. In order to repay the favor, Okamura Ninji organized his former subordinates to help the Kuomintang train the army. Because the Kuomintang lost the hearts of the people and was not supported by the people in our country, it lost the civil war. Later, after Okamura's return to Japan, he was delusional and tried to revive Japanese militarism, but ultimately failed. On September 2, 1966, Okamura died in Japan.
