"Li Mei Barbecue" is not a delicacy? But during World War II, the U.S. Air Force used incendiary bombs to carry out large-scale bombings of Tokyo, Japan and its surrounding areas. We know that Japan's atomic bombing during World War II was very tragic, but the atomic bombs at least caused instantaneous destruction and death. This is not the case with "Le Plum Barbeque". It is a large-scale incineration. People slowly die in fear, despair and pain. Moreover, the losses and casualties caused by "Le Plum Barbecue" are far greater than those of two atomic bombs. This is Japan's real nightmare. The cause is also attributed to Japan's early attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States. The Pearl Harbor incident is considered by the United States to be the most humiliating war, and "Le Mei Barbecue" is considered to be the United States' reaction to the Pearl Harbor incident. revenge.
When it comes to the Pearl Harbor incident, this was a strategic sneak attack that can be recorded in the history of war. On the surface, Japan achieved a certain victory and gained a strategic advantage, but in fact it caused Angry America. You must know that the United States is very vindictive. After gaining absolute initiative in the Pacific battlefield, the United States began to carry out large-scale retaliation against Japan. It used strategic bombers to carry out strategic bombings on major cities such as Tokyo, causing unprecedented trauma to Japan. It heralded the end of Japanese imperialism.
The youngest major general in the U.S. Army, Curtis Emerson LeMay, was the main planner of the Tokyo bombing. His nickname was the "Cold War Eagle." The Tokyo bombing was a glorious moment in his life for General Le Mei, especially since the previous bombings did not cause any substantial damage to Japan, so the 38-year-old Li Mei carried out a large number of targeted attacks on Japan. He conducted ground research and discovered the characteristics of Japan's extensive use of wooden buildings, so he decisively chose the fire attack. As the saying goes, just the right medicine was used. In just one night of bombing, almost half of Tokyo was destroyed.
The United States chose night time to carry out the raid. This is also because everyone relaxes their vigilance at night, and many people have already rested at night, so it is the most powerful time for the United States to attack. In addition, the bombing missile selected by the United States this time contains napalm, making it difficult to extinguish it with ordinary water. This is also listed as one of the most cruel weapons in the world. Japan had no way to retreat from the bombing of the United States, and the United States also used more than two thousand tons of bombs this time, which caused a nearly devastating blow to Japan and accelerated Japan's surrender.
This time the Li Mei Barbecue incident caused Japan to suffer an unprecedented blow, which was a huge blow to Japan, which was originally a small country. More than 500,000 people were burned alive and more than 8 million people were displaced. But I don’t know whether it was a provocation by the United States. In this incident, the United States only avoided the residence of the Japanese Emperor, which can be regarded as a warning. Through this incident, we saw the millions of people who died tragically and were homeless. It can only be said that those who lived in that era had to live in fear. This action of the United States also told the whole world, This is the result of irritating the United States. Although Japan filed lawsuits against those responsible for the Tokyo bombing after the war, the United States has always refused to apologize, believing that Japan brought it upon itself. We can't comment on war, but we have witnessed the disasters caused by war. Fortunately, we have entered a new era. Looking to the future, human beings are making progress and wars are decreasing. We realize that international Social harmony is so rare, and countries have learned the lessons of the last century and started to achieve mutual benefit and win-win.
