How did the Japanese emperor escape the punishment of the United States after the fiasco of World War II?

With money and beauty, plus the reconstruction and transformation of Japan by the United States, MacArthur controlled it. After World War II, the United States needed to support an ally in the Far East that could contain the Soviet Union and control the Japanese emperor, which was equivalent to controlling Japan. The Japanese are extremely superstitious about the emperor. They can launch suicide attacks for the emperor in the war. Even though Japan was defeated, the people still regarded the emperor as a god. If the emperor is really hanged, Japan is bound to trigger another war, and this war will require at least 65,438+0,000 US troops to land in Japan to fight.

MacArthur chose to keep Emperor Hirohito not only for these reasons. For example, there is an unproven reason. During World War II, Tomomi Yamashita, a Japanese army general who loved to collect gold, was executed by MacArthur in Manila after the war, and all the gold he robbed became MacArthur's.

In addition to gold, Japan also mobilized famous Japanese actresses at that time. MacArthur just arrived in Japan and was introduced to Setsuko Hara. Her gentle personality successfully touched Arthur, and the two began to communicate frequently. In the meantime, Setsuko Hara asked Arthur not to excessively punish Japanese war criminals. Soon after, MacArthur also agreed that Japanese women should establish comfort women's organizations, which was attributed to Setsuko Hara to some extent.

MacArthur issued the first order of Allied Command, that is, not to hold Japanese Emperor Hirohito responsible for waging war. Not only that, only 920 of the more than 5,700 war criminals listed by the allied forces were finally dealt with, others were just locked up, and many war criminals were released soon after being locked up. Emperor Hirohito of Japan, the chief culprit of the war of aggression against China, lived to 1989 after successfully escaping the trial, which shows that the golden beauty sent by Japan is still very useful.
