It turns out that the United States is not going to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so where is the United States going to bomb?
However, as early as World War II, Japan and the United States loved each other and killed each other. At first, high-level Japanese government made a secret plan to attack its Pearl Harbor military base when the US military was unprepared. At that time, on February 7, 194 1, a loud noise broke the quiet night, and more than 350 American warplanes docked at the Pearl Harbor military base suffered a devastating blow. Besides,
In addition to weapons and equipment, the US military has also suffered many blows. The accident killed 2400 Americans and injured 1250 people. In any case, this incident caused great losses to the American army, so the American army was full of resentment against the Japanese army. It is worth mentioning that at that time, Japan officially declared war on the United States, and of course, the United States immediately responded, that is, President Roosevelt personally stepped out later.
After the Pearl Harbor incident, the US military has been looking for an opportunity to retaliate, so it carefully created an opportunity to drop two atomic bombs over Japan. As we all know, so far only the United States has really used atomic bombs against other countries, but I don't know if you know it. In fact, the US military didn't want to attack Hiroshima and Nagasaki at first. What city is it?
First of all, talk about Tokyo. As one of the most important cities in Japan, why didn't the US military choose it? Mainly because Tokyo had been bombed repeatedly by the allied forces at that time, there was nothing left at all, even if it was bombed, it was unnecessary, and it was impossible to cause more damage to Japan. Why did Kyoto, one of the ancient capitals of Japan, also escape? There is a simple reason. It is precisely because Kyoto is very important to Japan that people attach great importance to it. Besides, it has a long history. Once it is blown up, it will inevitably be strongly protested by the people, and the consequences may be out of control.
In the end, the US military decided to find a city that could directly attack Japan, namely Hiroshima and Ogura. There are many Japanese soldiers stationed in Kokura, so it is called South Japan Arsenal, so throwing atomic bombs there can make Japan suffer a great blow, but unexpectedly, when preparing to throw them, there was an accident and the weather over Kokura was not very good, so once it was thrown, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
However, the atomic bomb is not an ordinary weapon, and it can be recovered when it is taken out. However, the pilots at that time did not dare to take risks. Once an accident happens, they can't afford it, so he has to make a backup plan, that is, Nagasaki. In fact, this place is ok, because it was the industrial base of Japan at that time. Once hit, it will inevitably make them weakened, which is a good choice.
So Hiroshima and Nagasaki were selected by the US military, and the collapse of these two cities made Japan tremble, because the US military claimed that if Japan did not surrender, they would continue to drop atomic bombs in other cities. How can Japan be willing to die and destroy the country? So it gave up its previous plan of 100 million pieces of jade and finally surrendered unconditionally at the end of World War II. It is worth noting that at that time, the US military actually had only two atomic bombs, which were only known to Japan many years later.
