He emphasized the importance of the Pacific battlefield and disagreed with the strategic policy of "Europe before Asia". 1July 1942 to1June 1943, he commanded the allied forces in the southwest Pacific to win the battle of Papua, then marched westward, made amphibious landings for many times by using the "leapfrog" tactics, and captured New Guinea in July 1944. In the same year, the Philippine campaign began in 65438+ 10, and Leyte Island was captured in 65438+February. 1945 1 led the troops to land on Luzon Island, captured Manila in early March, and occupied the entire Philippine Islands in July.

During the Japanese occupation period, the full implementation of democratic reform had a great impact on Japan's post-war history. 1950 After the Korean War broke out in June, he served as the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army" and ordered the Eighth Army of the United States to enter South Korea to cooperate with the Korean army to defend Busan.

Later, under the strong counterattack of Chinese people's Volunteer Army and the Korean People's Army, they were forced to retreat to the south of the 38th parallel. 195/kloc-0 was dismissed in April, 2000 for strongly advocating expanding the scale of the war of aggression against the DPRK and publicly criticizing President Truman's global strategy. After returning to China, he participated in the presidential election and failed. 1952 became the chairman of Remington-Rand Company. MacArthur is an outstanding and controversial general in American history. Compared with other American generals, he has received more praise and criticism. Among the dazzling fuses iconic in World War II, he was neither as approachable as Eisenhower, nor as enthusiastic and heroic as Barton, nor as selfless as Marshall. He is indeed a man of extremely complicated and colorful personality. His admirers think that he is the greatest soldier in American history; His critics think that he is a vain five-star general. Throughout MacArthur's life, he is really different from any general in American history. His life is full of legends. He was the youngest brigadier general of the US Army during World War I, and later became the youngest major general and the youngest army chief of staff of the US Army. He is the only American general who has participated in three important wars. At the same time, he is also the most influential American in the Pacific. Military critics believe that MacArthur has indeed made brilliant achievements and won dazzling honors. These honors are well-deserved, but they inevitably dissolve his original excellent qualities into the defects of arrogance, egotism, pushiness, vanity and boastfulness. The stubborn character brought by these problems often forced some of his plans and ideas to be passed and achieved great success; This, in turn, convinced him of his judgment and correctness, aggravated his shortcomings, and finally developed to the point of open resistance. From this perspective, it was his arrogance that made his military miracle, and it was also his arrogance that ruined his military career. MacArthur has said it countless times in his life. The most appealing words in his life are: "I came out, but I will come back!" " "Why is this sentence the most attractive? This has to be traced back to the biggest defeat in his military career. 19411On February 7, the Pacific War broke out, when MacArthur was the commander-in-chief of the US military in the Philippines. He led the American troops there to stubbornly resist the fierce attack of the Japanese army, but they still could not resist. MacArthur refused President Roosevelt's suggestion to let him leave the Philippines, so he found the Colt 45 pistol left by his father. He was ready to commit suicide at a critical moment and was determined to share life and death with the Philippines. 1on February 8, 942, in the name of the country, President Roosevelt once again ordered MacArthur, his wife and son to leave the Philippines immediately. On February 22 and 23, Roosevelt and Marshall sent a telegram to MacArthur continuously, asking him to leave, and promised MacArthur to establish a new war zone and let him serve as commander-in-chief to prepare for the counterattack. Then, after receiving telegrams from President Roosevelt and Marshall, then the chief of staff of the US Army, the soldier wept bitterly. He said to his wife, "I was born and raised in the army, and I have been used to obeying orders all my life, but it is really difficult for me to obey this order!" " "Finally, he asked the President to allow him to leave when necessary, and Roosevelt agreed this time. Then,1one night in March, 942, MacArthur, at the repeated urging of the War Department, boarded the PT-4 1 torpedo boat with his wife and son, left the war-torn Philippines and took over the command of the theater in southwest Australia. On April 9, 75,000 American soldiers fighting in Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines surrendered to the Japanese army. On May 6th, 15000 American troops fighting on Coleridge Island in the Philippines surrendered, and the Japanese army occupied the whole Philippines. The Philippine campaign was MacArthur's first defeat since he joined the army, and it was so miserable! Therefore, he said sadly: "I didn't expect that the biggest surrender in the history of the US military would happen in my hands!" Then, he thinks, this is his great shame! Although he arrived in Australia, he was welcomed like a hero when he arrived in Australia-after all, he fought with the Japanese in the Philippines for so long, but MacArthur, a conceited general, was really unhappy in front of people who welcomed him like an epic hero. He told reporters that he stressed: "The president ordered me to break through the Japanese defense line and withdraw from the Philippines to Australia, with the aim of organizing a counterattack against the Japanese army, with the main goal of liberating the Philippines. Now I'm out, but I'll be back! " "I'm out, but I'll be back!" At that time, the U.S. wartime information bureau thought this sentence was good, because the U.S. military was in the darkest moment, and it was defeated and fought repeatedly. At this time, MacArthur said such a sentence, and the US War Intelligence Bureau prepared to use this sentence as a show to stimulate people's confidence in the war of resistance. However, it is suggested that MacArthur change this sentence to say that we will come back. MacArthur strongly disagreed. No, not us, but I'll be back. Personality is on paper! Then, war brings death and sorrow to mankind, and once injected into human blood, death and sorrow often ferment into strength and unyielding. Sometimes, people have experienced failures in exchange for unforgettable feelings and unshakable determination. MacArthur refused to modify this sentence, not so much because of the star's stubbornness and arrogance, but because he has a high sense of responsibility! Personally, I think that a great star has unlimited personal charm because he dares to take responsibility for everything he has done-victory and failure, which is why he insists on saying "I will come back" instead of "we will come back". Then, in the Pacific War since then, MacArthur has always used this sentence as his motto to inspire all his actions. From Papua New Guinea to Indonesia, from Indonesia to the Philippines, he fought bravely with the Japanese army in the whole southwest Pacific for the mission of "I will come back". Even, in the main direction of competition, I did not hesitate to turn against my colleague, Commander Nimitz of the Pacific Theater! Do not hesitate to compete with President Roosevelt for strategic priority and ask President Roosevelt to put the strategic center of the US military in Asia, not Europe! Therefore, under his inspiration, this sentence has gone far beyond his personal feelings and grievances, and has become a belief of all the American and British troops fighting in the southwest Pacific theater and the people of these countries occupied by the Japanese in the struggle against Japanese aggression-"I will come back"! 19441October 20th, MacArthur finally realized his promise! On this day, he took Narvi's flagship and commanded 280,000 troops to land on Leyte Island! At that time, after the first American cavalry division occupied the beachhead position, the battle on the shore was far from over, and he landed on the island! No sooner had he reached the ladder than he went back. At this time, the adjutant said, what are you doing? He said, I want a new suit! Khaki's new military uniform, wearing sunglasses and a five-star general's hat, waded ashore in the water above the thigh-pursed chin, head held high! There's this picture, MacArthur. This photo is very classic. After he went ashore, he was caught in a rainstorm; Someone gave him an umbrella, but he refused! He made the following speech in the rain, including one sentence: "Filipino people, I, the five-star general of the US military, douglas macarthur, are back!" MacArthur has a low voice and tears in his eyes. In this speech, he called on everyone to become a sacred dead, continue to fight for future generations and win that just victory! MacArthur's eyes filled with tears when he delivered a speech-this unyielding soldier embodies a famous soldier's courage to take responsibility and bring relief through hard work-and it is the general himself who really realizes this relief! This is the most inspiring word in his life. MacArthur's proudest moment in his life was the end of World War II at his hands, and he presided over the Japanese surrender ceremony. Under the joint attack of the anti-fascist people, Japan finally surrendered! 1At 04: 05 on August 30th, 945, President Truman authorized MacArthur to fly to Atsugi Airport in Japan as the supreme commander of the Allied Forces, accept Japan's surrender, and be responsible for the military occupation and reconstruction of Japan in the future. MacArthur is very happy. He fought this war for four years-from 194 1 to 1945, and World War II finally ended in his hands! He immediately called Truman: "I am deeply grateful for your generous trust!" " "He is very happy! Therefore, he is going to organize a grand commemorative ceremony to show the world how the Japanese bowed their heads! He told others: "I will never let the Germans surrender in a dark room like General Eisenhower! "At the end of the European War, the surrender ceremony was very ostentatious. MacArthur thought Eisenhower's acceptance of German surrender was not very ostentatious. He said, "I won't, never! "He is very happy! But MacArthur presided over the surrender ceremony, and the US Navy was unhappy! The navy believes that in the entire Pacific war, more of our navy is playing a role. So, now that you have won, let an army general go to the front of the curtain, stand in the middle and pick fruit, which seems to give people the feeling that MacArthur is the commander-in-chief who defeated Japan in the entire Pacific War. The navy is unhappy! Therefore, the navy suggested to President Truman that even if the surrender ceremony was presided over by an army officer, it should be held on a naval warship. The navy made suggestions. This is a ... second suggestion, if MacArthur signs on behalf of the Allies, accepts Japan's surrender and surrenders on behalf of the Allies. Then, the navy should represent the American government. Truman finally accepted the proposal and agreed to hold a surrender ceremony on the battleship Missouri. Why did you ask the battleship Missouri to hold a surrender ceremony? It turns out that President Truman's hometown is Missouri, and this warship is named after his hometown. Then, the captain of the battleship Missouri was halsey, who was also a five-star general of the US Navy. He immediately sent a telegram to the Annis Naval Academy Museum, demanding that the flag planted by the American warship led by Brigadier General Perry in the United States for the first time in 1853 be sent to the battlefield, sent to our warship and hung on the bow of the ship. At that time, two national flags were hung, one of which was this national flag, so that the national flag could be hung high on the bow overlooking the deck where the Japanese surrender book was about to be signed. 1On August 28th, 945, the first American troops occupied Yokosuga. On 29th, halsey's Third Fleet sailed into Tokyo Bay, and MacArthur took a C-54 transport plane at 2pm 19 on 30th, accompanied by military music, and landed at Atsugi Airport. Then, stay in a new hotel. Then, I made a lot of preparations. Subsequently, representatives from Britain, France, the Soviet Union and China arrived in Japan one after another. /kloc-in September, 2000, Nimitz braved the downpour and came to the new hotel to meet MacArthur. They talked very well. However, at this time, MacArthur made another suggestion-he suddenly remembered one thing. He said to Nimitz, "I have never raised a flag on a ship in my life. I should have raised my flag on the boat that surrendered. "All American generals have flags and their own flags. At that time, Nimitz said, this is for my adjutant. Lieutenant Colonel Rama, Nimitz's adjutant, was very embarrassed. Why is he embarrassed? Because a warship has only one flagpole to hang the general's flag, the general's flag of this ship is hung. In other words, the battleship Missouri can only hang the Nimitz flag. So, Lieutenant Colonel Lamar said, what should we do? Just ask Nimitz, and Nimitz said, I don't care, it's your own business. I think, you have wisdom and will figure out a way. Lamar discussed with other officers and came up with a plan to raise MacArthur's army red flag and Nimitz's navy blue flag side by side to the main mast, that is, one mast raises two flags. Later, Lamar said in his later memoirs, "This is the first time, I think, it may be the last time. Two five-star generals raised the national flag together on the same main mast. "This happened in September 1 year. September 2 nd, September 2 nd is a Sunday, cloudy, cloudy and gray. At 7 o'clock in the morning, journalists from all countries, including Japan, gathered on the battleship Missouri. In addition to the American flag I mentioned just now, there is another American flag in another place. This American flag also says that it is not an ordinary American flag. What is this American flag? It's194165438+February 7. The Pacific War broke out, Pearl Harbor was attacked, and the national flag was hung in the US Congress. MacArthur came, and both defeat and victory were printed on this national flag. When the Pacific War broke out and the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, it was a witness, and now it is also a witness. At 8: 03, the battleship Missouri carried the first batch of senior officers. At 8: 05, the ship's whistle sounded, the loudspeaker sounded "Admiral March", and the Admiral's flag was raised. So Nimitz boarded the battleship Missouri from South Dakota. At 8: 43, MacArthur boarded the ship and the military band played "Admiral March". MacArthur looked solemn at that time, only to see the military band raise the flag to his general in the music of the general's March. At that time, he shook hands with Nimitz proudly. At 8: 56, the US patrol ship Lansdowne received instructions to send the Japanese surrender representative to the battleship Missouri. Walking in front is Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru, who is a cripple. He signed the surrender on behalf of the Japanese government. Youtian Junjun, representative of the Japanese Navy and director of the Operations Department of the Naval Operations Department; On behalf of the Japanese army, Umezu Yoshijiro, chief of staff of the Army, signed the surrender book. They are standing on deck two. When they stood still, there was a star-spangled banner on the loudspeaker. After the national anthem of Home of the Brave was played, MacArthur and Nimitz walked to the table. He made a speech. MacArthur delivered a speech, which he presided over. He said: "representatives of the imperial Japanese government and the imperial Japanese army have come to sign!" " MacArthur ordered them and watched them sign their names on the unconditional surrender-representing the Japanese government and the Japanese army. After the Japanese signed it, MacArthur sat down. He took out five pens to sign it! Why do you want to sign with five pens? He motioned back and let two people stand behind him. One was Major General Arthur Percival, a British commander who was fighting in the Philippines at that time. Later, he couldn't help but surrender. One was his general in the Philippines, named General Wainewright. Both of them were held in a Japanese prison camp in Shenyang, China. MacArthur specially called the two generals out from the Japanese prison camp-on August 3, the day before, the two generals came to the hotel to meet MacArthur, and MacArthur held them in tears because MacArthur left and handed the mess to Wainewright. Later, Huai Neureiter could not resist and surrendered. MacArthur greeted them and stood behind his chair. Then, MacArthur signed it with the first pen-isn't he Douglas? Doug, sign these letters and give this pen to Wayne. Then, write LAS with a second pen and return it to percival later; With the third pen, he wrote down his surname MacArthur and gave it to the National Archives of the United States for collection. There are also two pens to sign his official title, that is, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces. One pen was given to his alma mater, West Point Military Academy, and the last one was given to his wife, Joan. So his signature with five pens reflects the general's personality! So, after MacArthur signed it, Nimitz signed it on behalf of the US government. Then, representatives from China, Britain, the Soviet Union, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand and other countries signed it. After the signing, it marked the official end of the Second World War. The representative of Japan took a document, bowed stiffly and left the Missouri warship. When MacArthur signed it, it was cloudy and foggy. So, now the sun is out, and about 2000 American planes whizzed past the battleship Missouri of the Third Fleet in dense formation to celebrate this victory! Therefore, MacArthur's proudest moment in his life was that he presided over the Japanese surrender ceremony, and the Second World War finally ended in his hands. After World War II, MacArthur participated in the Republican nomination in the US presidential election, but failed. Later, he took part in the Korean War. Later, shortly after the end of the Korean War, he was dismissed because of differences with Truman's war policy. MacArthur is a legend. He learned to ride a horse and shoot a gun almost when he was just walking; /kloc-entered the west Texas military academy at the age of 0/3, when he showed the talent needed for fighting. 19 years old, was admitted to the famous West Point Military Academy with the first total score, and was awarded the rank of captain upon graduation. At the age of 38, he became a famous "Rainbow Division" teacher and the youngest brigadier general in the history of the US military. At the age of 39, he became the president of West Point Military Academy and was later known as the "father of West Point". At the age of 50, he became the youngest army chief of staff in the history of the US military. ...
