The following is an article by Masayuki Takayama that appeared in the monthly subscription magazine Themis, released on the first day of each month and delivered to my house today.
The article is titled "Face the Bestiality of the Americans Who Planned the 'Operation to Destroy Japan.'"
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the world after the war.
This paper also proves that he is the most deserving of the Nobel Prize for Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize.
It is a must-read not only for the Japanese people but also for people worldwide.
The Asahi Shimbun's great sin of saying that the Japanese people are the ones who should be angry about the devastation of the atomic bomb
That non-whites should be eliminated.
If Japan had not surrendered in August 1945, the US military would have launched an invasion of the Japanese mainland in November.
The name of the operation was simply "Operation Downfall."
It was serious.
First, 760,000 US troops would land in Kagoshima, and in March of the following year, 1,160,000 troops would land on Kujukuri Beach and the Shonan coast to conquer the Kanto Plain.
It was a scale far exceeding the 1.3 million troops involved in the Normandy landings.
The Normandy landings also involved Polish volunteers and soldiers from French colonies in Chad and Algeria.
However, in the Downfall Operation, MacArthur said that only Anglo-Saxon soldiers and officers would be allowed to participate.
The British Army had Indian and Gurkha soldiers under its command.
There were also members of Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Army who worked as mercenaries in the US, but they were not allowed to participate.
The Soviet Army, comprised of Slavic peoples, was also excluded.
What was the reason for this restriction?
No one talked about it, but the white nations had H・Spencer's "Theory of Social Evolution" in mind.
Darwin's law of survival of the fittest also applied to humans.
The most superior white people were the fittest humans, and the rest were inferior races that should be eliminated.
So, even if they enslaved and overworked black people or exploited Asian countries as colonies, it was all perfectly natural from the perspective of social evolution.
However, the Japanese appeared on the scene at the end of the 19th century.
They immediately solved the mystery of the Black Death, which had eluded the white race for 500 years.
They also created a serum therapy that solved even tetanus.
The Japanese also had a keen sense of beauty and creativity and were skilled at expressing this.
With Japonisme, they had a significant impact on the white nations.
Furthermore, the quiet Japanese displayed overwhelming strategy and bravery in war.
They defeated the sleeping lion of China, defeated the world's strongest Russian army, and sunk all of the supposedly unsinkable armored battleships in the Sea of Japan.
It shook the prestige of white people to the core, and even the social theory of evolution that justified white rule could have been overturned.
Especially for the American people, who pretended to be benevolent Christians but went back to the Old Testament era and abused enslaved Black people and killed Indigenous people, the Japanese people seemed to be an insinuation of the barbarity of Americans.
"Destroy Japan" began with Theodore Roosevelt.
At the peace talks following the Russo-Japanese War, which the US had won with overwhelming force, he ensured that Japan did not receive any reparations or territorial concessions and slowed Japan's rise to power.
After that, Woodrow Wilson crushed Japan's proposal for racial equality and instead strengthened the white man's domination of the world, and Harding dissolved the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, forcing Japan into isolation.
To finish the job, Franklin Roosevelt lured Japan into war.
Planning to use Agent Orange and poison gas shells
The plan to destroy Japan, which took half a century to put into action, was drawn up by white people, and in particular by Anglo-Saxons, and now that they had been drawn into the war, MacArthur believed that it was the right of the Anglo-Saxons to finish them off.
Japan was already on the verge of death, with broken swords and exhausted arrows, but its spirit of resistance had not yet waned.
On Saipan, where the bombardment changed the island's shape, 10% of the American soldiers who landed were killed or wounded.
This casualty rate was higher than that of the fiercest battle site, Omaha Beach.
Secretary Stimson said, "There is no need to fight head-on with an inferior race," and the Chicago Tribune argued, "We can just get rid of them with poison gas (which is prohibited by international law)."
So, the US military prepared 6.5 million bombs filled with phosgene and mustard gas.
They also began producing 40,000 poison gas mines.
They also planned to use atomic bombs.
Fifteen of these were to be handed over during the November landing operation.
The plan was changed, and the three landing sites on the Nichinan coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, including Shibushi Bay, were sprayed with defoliants in advance, leaving the area completely bald.
Another bomb would be dropped on the Japanese army's logistical support units.
A third bomb would be dropped on the cities behind them.
When the US troops landed, they would advance across the plain created by the three nuclear weapons, and if there were any surviving troops, they would fire poison gas shells at them to neutralize them all.
They would use Agent Orange, atomic bombs, and poison gas shells to destroy the Japanese defense system.
At this time, the US was maintaining a monthly production rate of seven atomic bombs, so they were planning to drop a total of 20 bombs on Shonan and Chiba when they landed.
It would have brought the attrition of American soldiers and officers close to zero.
However, officially, they trumpeted that "2 million soldiers and officers would be killed or wounded" without using poison gas or atomic bombs.
The atomic bombings killed 210,000 people.
Japan had fought several wars since the battle of Hakusukuri against the Tang Dynasty.
However, there was no country as ruthless and insane as the United States.
The Chinese violated international law without a second thought, and instead of protecting prisoners of war, they killed them brutally.
However, the United States was so brutal that even this seemed cute.
They used poison gas, which is prohibited by international law, to kill innocent civilians in the Battle of Okinawa.
Two months later, they dropped an atomic bomb on non-combatants, killing 210,000 people in an instant.
Japan did not know the true nature of the United States.
His Majesty knew this and accepted defeat.
Otherwise, Japan would have genuinely disappeared.
The enemy we were fighting against was too strong.
Asahi Shimbun's Wataru Sawamura wrote an article titled "Who should we be angry at?" in which he dug up the horrors of the atomic bombings and said that the people we should be angry at were "the Japanese who started the war."
Don't be ridiculous.
What is there to be happy about mocking the Japanese who were killed without even looking straight at the brutality of the Americans, but instead defending them?
