    At that time, there were still hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners in the Philippines, and when Japan refused to pay compensation, the Philippines decided to execute thousands of Japanese prisoners every day. The attitude of the Philippines is very tough, and even the United States has nothing to do.

    First of all, Japan was a defeated country in World War II, and it was obliged to pay compensation, and secondly, the Philippines was militarily weak at that time, so it enslaved a large number of Filipino people, and it paid more compensation for each population, so it paid more compensation. Second, China, which was supposed to receive compensation, gave up Japan's compensation, and the Philippines was promoted to the country that received the most compensation from Japan.

    <> "Why did the Japanese army in the Philippines starve to death in large numbers during World War II?"

    A total of 2.34 million people died in World War II, of which more than 1.4 million died of starvation or disease. accounted for 60% of the Japanese army during the occupation of the Philippines. The largest number of battlefield deaths for the Japanese army was more than 520,000 Japanese soldiers, of which 400,000 died of starvation or disease, and of course most of them died of starvation.

    There are other battlefields that are the same, so why is this happening? Was there no solution at that time?

    The Philippines feels that it is near the tropics and there are many islands, so it should be very rich in products, but in fact, the largest island in the Philippines is occupied by the US military, and there are US military bases on Luzon, and the Japanese army wants to seize Manila in Luzon and Davao in Mindanao first. After driving the American army out of this Far East, it can support the war against India and finally occupy the Philippines.

    The Japanese began to occupy many small islands, but these small islands were actually deserted, and they were controlled by the American military because of the control of the sea. It would be impossible to resupply, and the Japanese army generally only brought 7 days of food, and it was solved on the spot after 7 days, but there were no people on these islands, how to solve it?

    The U.S. military also adopted the "baby jump search technique", first seizing the islands with fewer supplies to the north of the Japanese army, and then cutting off the supply line, so that the Japanese army could be trapped on the island.

    Many people said why they didn't fish and hunt and eat, but in fact, the Japanese army ate everything they went, bark, roots, comrades-in-arms, etc., why didn't they fish and hunt and eat. It's just that it's really not enough, there are too many Japanese troops, so I want to call for so many starvation to death in the end.

    In fact, the core reason is that there is nothing to eat in the local area. After eating, it is still the United States that cuts off their supply lines, and that's it.

    On December 8, 1941, just 10 hours after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched an attack on the Philippines under American control. After successfully attacking the two US military bases in Clark and Iraq, they bombed the Abari airfield on the 11th. In less than a week, the air supremacy of the island was in the hands of the Japanese.

    After gaining air superiority, the Japanese side prepared to attack the Philippines. On the 17th of the same month, the main force of the invasion of the Philippines set sail from Kaohsiung, Keelung, and Magong. Seven days later, under the cover of the fleet's artillery fire, they landed at Ramon Bay and Inyain Bay on Luzon.

    The landing in Ramon Bay was thought to be difficult, but it turned out to be a smooth landing, but it encountered many unexpected problems in Renyain Bay, and finally had to taste a lot of hardships before the landing was successful. Before the war, the Japanese estimated that the Philippines would be easier to occupy than Malaya. However, the opposite is true.

    It took nearly three times as long and a lot of effort for the Japanese to drive the Americans out of the Philippines on May 6, 1942. Before and after five months.

    Because the Philippines had the United States in the middle to help solve the problem, it would receive a lot of compensation.

    Because the Philippines had a large number of deaths at that time, it refused to compromise in the face of Japan, and used the execution of Japanese prisoners as a threat and the help of the United States. The country that received the most post-war reparations.

    The Philippines has a big brother behind him to call the shots, that's why he got so much compensation, and if it weren't for this big brother, Japan might just make some reparations in a symbolic sense.

In general, the "independent system of command" from the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War to the early Showa period basically did not become a point of contention in political and military confrontation. On the contrary, during the Taisho period and the early Showa period, Japan's politics and military maintained a relationship of coordination and priority, and the principle of military subordination to politics was basically embodied. After World War I, the Japanese military realized through the investigation of the war in Europe that the future war must be a "total war", and it is necessary to mobilize all the people to participate, and it is necessary to mobilize all the forces of the country to participate in the war, and this will be inseparable from the support and guarantee of the political party, and the military is aware of the necessity of maintaining a coordinated relationship with the country. >>>More
