At noon on August 15, 1945, Benziguo Tianhuang, who was living a good life, officially announced his unconditional surrender.
Fang Lang waited in front of the radio early to witness this historic moment. After listening to Jaap Tianhuang's speech on the radio, Fang Lang looked at his homeland in the west of Okinawa and was speechless for a long time.
Although the United States had agreed to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force's participation in the occupation of Japan, Fang Lang was very clear at the time that what the Americans wanted was to control Japan alone.
Instead of having part of it occupied by the Allies, like Germany.
Therefore, the United States has already clearly stipulated that the United States has the primary responsibility for providing the occupying forces, and the commander-in-chief of the occupying forces and his subordinate commanders should be Americans.
After Japan announced its surrender, the U.S. government directly appointed MacArthur as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan. This order made the Soviet Union very angry and demanded that this position should be held by Vasilevsky and MacArthur.
It was directly rejected by the United States, and it was clearly stipulated that Germany's multinational partition occupation policy would not be carried out in Japan. In fact, it clarified the policy of Japan being occupied by the United States alone.
However, in order to make its appearance less ugly, the U.S. government also agreed that the allies could send troops to Japan, but they must obey the unified command of MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan.
Such a request, of course, does not matter to a young man like the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.
For the Soviet Union, as the main force of the Allied Powers, this was absolutely unacceptable. They know that the Americans just want to bring people in to share the military expenses of the garrison, but they cannot implement the management of the occupied areas.
This thankless task was directly rejected by the Soviet government.
Of course, the British government has already handed over the command of the Pacific Fleet to the United States, so it doesn't matter.
As the main force against Japan, the government was also invited by the United States to garrison troops in Japan. However, at this time, the government was busy seizing territory in the country, so it had no time to pay attention.
Later, in order to reduce the economic pressure of stationing troops in Japan, the United States also repeatedly requested the government to station troops in Japan. It is a pity that the national government does not have the ability to transport troops to Japan.
There is also no ability to afford the military expenses of the troops stationed in Japan. The U.S. government was unwilling to bear the burden, and it turned into endless wrangling.
It was not until the United States finally agreed to provide equipment and supplies for the garrison that Chiang Kai-shek agreed to send the Honorable Second Division, which had participated in the Burma War, to Japan in August 1946.
However, due to the civil war provoked by Chiang Kai-shek, this unit was unable to make the trip, and was eventually wiped out on the Huaihai battlefield.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Lang never thought about stationing troops in Japan for a long time. He came here to make a fortune, not to gain territory. Therefore, the interests that big countries need to consider have nothing to do with him.
He also doesn’t want to actually station troops in Japan to work for Americans like Australia and New Zealand.
On August 28, the first batch of U.S. Marines landed in Yokosuka, and then 150,000 U.S. troops occupied the entire territory of Japan and began to occupy Japan in the name of the Allied occupation forces.
At nine o'clock in the morning on September 2, Japan formally signed the surrender agreement, and World War II was officially declared over.
On September 5, Fang Lang received an order from the Supreme Command of the Allied Forces in Japan and went to Osaka to station himself. This time has been more than 20 days since Japan announced its surrender.
It has been a week since the U.S. military actually landed in Japan. It can be seen from this that the so-called joint occupation of Japan by the allies by the United States is a joke.
Within a week, the good stuff has already been carved up by you Americans.
After two days of sailing, Fang Lang led the House and Hope, as well as the two supply ships, to Osaka.
When Fang Lang got off the boat and stepped onto the land of Osaka, Fang Lang's heart was full of mixed feelings, which was simply indescribable.
Later, Fang Lang set foot in Osaka countless times, and even knew many of Osaka's custom areas, no, scenic spots.
But it was a completely different mood than when I landed in Japan with my troops this time.
Standing there and looking at the dilapidated and almost scorched Osaka, Fang Lang suddenly laughed.
I laughed for almost three minutes, until I burst into tears before finally shouting:
"Slutty little Japan, are you ready? I'm here."
After saying that, in front of a group of incomprehensible subordinates, he strode forward directly into downtown Osaka.
Osaka at this time was in real ruins, and it was basically difficult to see complete buildings. There were ragged Japanese people everywhere.
It's a pity that these people can't show even a trace of mercy in Fang Lang's eyes. If they hadn't initiated this war themselves, how could there be today's consequences!
At this time, many places in the country are even more difficult than they are, and the people are even more pitiful than them. Fang Lang was in no mood to care about their life or death.
As we get deeper and deeper into downtown Osaka, everyone finally begins to see the occasional reinforced concrete structure.
Japan is a country on a volcanic belt, so earthquakes are very frequent. Most of Japanese buildings are low-rise wooden buildings, and wooden buildings are prone to fire, so they basically cannot survive the bombing.
As long as this kind of reinforced concrete building is not hit directly, there is basically no need to worry about damage, so it can exist strongly.
Originally, the US military asked the Brazilian Expeditionary Force to be stationed together with the US military, but Fang Lang refused. He came here to make a fortune. How can he make a fortune under the eyes of you Americans all day long?
Soon, the advance team in front of him came over to report and found a suitable place to be stationed.
This is a relatively well-preserved school. When Fang Lang arrived here with his people, a group of students were blocking the door, preventing the advance team from entering.
Fang Lang walked around outside the school, and it turned out to be a very ideal place to stay. The school has a complete wall. All he needs to do is set up a guard box at the school gate, and there is a closed space inside. There is a playground for training, and the classrooms and dormitories are basically maintained. whole.
What else is there to say? It’s simply tailor-made. You don’t have to live in a tent anymore.
If you come early, you may have to accept surrender, and you may be able to live in a Japanese military camp.
However, the US military had entered Osaka and surrendered a week ago. The military camp was where the US soldiers were stationed. If Fang Lang didn't want to be stationed with them, of course he would have to find another place to station.
Now that he thought the place was good, Fang Lang went directly to the door blocked by students.
A group of unarmed students confront soldiers from the Brazilian Marine Advance Team. Obviously, everyone is not allowed to requisition the school.
Fang Lang smiled, these students are a little ignorant of current affairs! But it is understandable if you think about it. After all, the current Japanese people have been educated by the Japanese government for many years, and it is normal that they cannot accept the fact of surrender.
Thinking about what the Japanese soldiers did in the country, Fang Lang's face darkened. He asked Zhuang Xintian, the second lieutenant platoon leader of the advance team:
"what happened?"
Zhuang Xintian is another brother who has participated in expeditions with him. Because he likes the front-line troops, when he and Qi Qingshan were assigned to the First Fleet, he chose to join the Marine Corps.
Now a second lieutenant platoon leader in the Marine Corps.
"Sir, these students are blocking our way and preventing us from entering the school."
Fang Lang asked calmly:
"What did they say? Did they identify themselves?"
Zhuang Xintian was stunned and said awkwardly:
"Sir, we don't understand what they are saying."
Fang Lang glared and cursed angrily:
"Don't you understand? If you don't understand, how do you know they are students? Damn it, didn't you see they were wearing uniforms? These are the rebels, arrest them all."
Japanese school uniforms during this period were uniform shirts, trousers and jackets, which were actually somewhat similar to Japanese military uniforms. Of course Fang Lang knew that they were students, but he would not tolerate their problems.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, all the soldiers of the expeditionary force rushed forward without hesitation to arrest these students. Of course, the students would not just let them go.
Then a fierce conflict broke out. These soldiers would not show mercy to the Japanese who dared to resist. Just the bayonet and the butt of the gun.
These students are all junior high school students, although they are no match for the Brazilian soldiers. But everyone knows that young people are very impulsive, and they are not serious about starting fights.
Soon some students rushed into the classroom and took out the firearms usually used in the school's **** education.
Fang Lang was stunned when he saw that these students had guns. He didn't expect that the school had guns.
But when both sides of the conflict had guns, they thought the conflict would escalate.
Sure enough, before Fang Lang could say anything, the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force opened fire, and the students who took the guns for the first time were shot dead.
The students who were still fighting hand-to-hand at the door stopped when they heard the gunfire.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force who were just greeting them with rifle butts and bayonets all loaded their bullets and opened the safety. The slightest movement would be a massacre.
Although Fang Lang hated the Japanese, he never thought of killing these students. He was just prepared to teach them a lesson.
Unexpectedly, there were guns in the school.
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the students finally calmed down.
Fang Lang noticed middle-aged men, about forty years old, limping out of the school.
Looking at his legs, Fang Lang immediately judged that they were retired wounded soldiers.
This idiot kept hiding behind and watching a group of junior high school students clashing with the army in front, but did not come out to stop them.
Now there are casualties among the students, limping with an angry look on their face, chattering and barking!
When Fang Lang saw this situation, his anger immediately rose, and he raised his hand and shot without thinking.
The lame middle-aged man who was still croaking just now covered his chest with one hand, looked at Fang Lang with an expression of disbelief, and slowly fell to his knees.
Then, he fell face down with a bang, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
There was another commotion among the students gathered at the door.
However, this time they did not resist, but took a step back together.
