After suffering two atomic bombs from the United States, why did Japan choose to surrender with seven million troops?

Remembering World War II, now we analyze the problem from a historical perspective. During World War II, Japan began to surrender just after it had eaten two atomic bombs from the United States. However, it only ate two atomic bombs. Although its homeland was severely damaged, Japan still had a very powerful army. With more than 7 million troops, why did Japan, which had been strong for so long, choose to surrender?

It can only be said that Japan’s choice at that time was a bit misguided, because it directly started to challenge the world’s largest country, which is also the military power, the United States. Although the United States was damaged at Pearl Harbor, as a world power, it really wanted to defeat the United States, but It really requires a nationwide military force, but the actual situation in Japan at the time was that the front line had expanded too much and it was unable to fully concentrate its advantages against the United States.

However, just when Japan insisted on taking the initiative to fight at sea, this initiative was less than a year old, and the initiative was directly taken away by the United States. During the Battle of the Philippine Islands, a total of 520,000 Japanese soldiers were wiped out. , In this way, the United States regained its initiative, and at this time the United States directly cut off Japan's resources.

The army in China was deprived of resources and suffered heavy losses. However, the Kwantung Army troops who stayed in Manchuria at that time had abundant resources in Northeast China. At that time, some senior officials said that they would move the emperor to Manchuria. In this case, the United States would not drop atomic bombs into China. .

Just when the emperor was preparing to move to Northeast China, the Soviet Union appeared. At that time, this country was the most feared by Japan. Because it could not defeat the Soviet Union, it sent 1.5 million troops to attack the Japanese soldiers in Manchuria at the time. All the Japanese soldiers were captured alive. It was a spectacular scene. Moreover, we later learned that the Soviet Union hated the Japanese soldiers and made all the Japanese soldiers walk on the snowy road.

In addition, China’s vanguard gradually became stronger and the Chinese people’s war of resistance severely damaged Japan. At that time, the emperor had no choice but to move to China. The resistance of the Chinese and the direct attack of the United States on the mainland To start with, in fact, the damage caused by two atomic bombs to Japan was limited. The most important point was that the Japanese army could not be gathered back at that time, and the emperor could not move to Northeast China. In addition, Japan did not know how many atomic bombs the United States still had. For this reason, Japan The emperor had no choice but to surrender after a round of negotiations, and China's eight-year struggle ended.
