Why did Japan dare not attack Macao in World War II?

There were 6/kloc-0 countries and regions in World War II, and more than 2 billion people were involved in the war, covering an area of 22 million square kilometers. Japan annexed Korea and Taiwan Province Province of China before the war, and invaded China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea and other countries in World War II, as well as Hong Kong, which was then a British colony, but did not dare to get their hands on Macao, a tiny place. Why is this?

According to Liu Chengyu's Miscellanies of World Clubs, the reason why Japan didn't dare to attack Australia during World War II was mainly because a note from Brazil scared off Japan.

As an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China, Liu Chengyu personally experienced many historical events. For example, in 1903, he joined the Hui nationality, followed Sun Yat-sen to participate in the revolutionary movement, and hosted Datong Daily in the United States to publicize revolutionary ideas.

He made a wide range of friends all his life, and most of them had contacts with elites at that time, so his works were extensive in content and of high historical value. He is also a famous poet, and Dong once commented on him: "Wuchang is famous for its poems on the sea, and nearly 300 poems on the Chronicle of Hongxian are well-known. The other publications include four volumes of Poems of Hong Xian's Chronicle, followed by Sun Yat-sen and Zhang Taiyan. " Mr. Zhongshan called it promoting democracy. Mr. Taiyan said that Liu Shi was slightly prepared for the current affairs of Yuan's chaotic politics.

Liu Chengyu's works in his life mainly include Hong Xian Chronicle Poem, Shi Zaitang Poem, War History of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Shi Zaitang Miscellaneous Notes. His Miscellanies of the World Hall, with nearly 200,000 words, was published in the Shanghai News supplement of 1940s, which was widely circulated at that time.

This book reflects the characters' deeds, political system and social changes in the late Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China in many aspects. In the book, Liu Chengyu explained in detail the reasons why Japan did not dare to invade Macao during World War II:

Indians lived in ancient Brazil. On April 22nd, 1500, Portuguese navigator pedro cabral arrived in Brazil. He named the land "Holy Cross" and declared that it belonged to Portugal. Since the plunder of Portuguese colonists began with the felling of Brazilian redwoods, the word "Brasil" became the name of Brazil.

65438+In 1930s, Portugal sent an expedition to establish a colonial governor in Pakistan. Brazil is a vast country with a small population and has been suffering from no development. The Portuguese once welcomed immigrants to the Qing Dynasty and hoped that China would immigrate to Brazil to jointly develop this country with the largest area in South America.

In order to ensure no sequelae, Portuguese colonists put forward the following conditions: (1) Anyone who wants to immigrate from China to Brazil must be naturalized in Brazil; (2) China people who wish to immigrate to Brazil must be accompanied by their families and refuse to be single; (3) China people who wish to immigrate to Brazil must take agriculture and industry as their occupation and reject the unemployed.

People in China always move to another place. These harsh conditions are tantamount to uprooting them and completely cutting off their ties with the motherland. Of course, nobody wants to go. The rulers of the Qing dynasty were dissatisfied with these cooperation conditions, so they were too lazy to take a reason.

Seeing that China was not very enthusiastic about this, the Portuguese colonists had to consult with Japan, which had a small area and a large population. The Japanese were overjoyed and immediately agreed to export a large number of laborers to Brazil. By the beginning of World War II, more than 3 million Japanese had emigrated to Brazil.

Faced with Japan's wanton aggression in World War II, Portuguese colonists were very nervous and worried that Japan would invade Macao, so they asked Brazil to send a note to Japan, which wrote: "If the Japanese invade Macao by force, Brazil will expel all Japanese overseas Chinese to their own countries."

This deterrent really worked, and the Japanese broke out in a cold sweat. If 3 million people are swept out of the house together and rushed back to their hometown of Japan, it will not only cause great confusion, but also bring a lot of trouble. Therefore, the Japanese, eager to get out of trouble, succumbed to pressure and dared not attack Macao from beginning to end in World War II.
