I
believe
that
he
is
a
person
who
deserves
to
be
more
highly
regarded
and
to
whom
we
should
express
our
gratitude.
If
this
man
hadn't
been
there
at
that
time,
it's
not
just
another
matter
of
saying,
``Japanese
history
would
have
been
different,''
but
it's
highly
likely
that
we
wouldn't
exist
in
the
first
place,
and
that
we
wouldn't
even
be
able
to
enjoy
life
the
way
we
did.
is.
He
is
famous
for
being
the
prime
minister
who
led
Japan
to
the
end
of
the
war.
By
the
time
he
took
office,
the
war
had
turned,
with
the
country
exposed
to
intense
B-29
bombing,
while
the
maritime
distribution
network
had
been
disrupted,
making
it
difficult
to
import
fuel
and
food,
and
it
was
predicted
that
stockpiles
would
run
out
and
people
would
starve
to
death
by
the
end
of
the
year.
It

Furthermore,
if
the
Allied
forces
land
and
engage
in
a
full-scale
resistance
battle,
it
is
estimated
that
at
least
2
to
3
million
people
will
be
killed,
and
based
on

lessons

from
the
Battle
of
Okinawa,
the
Allied
forces
are
also
trying
to
reduce
the
losses
of
their
own
forces.
In
that
case,
they
were
prepared
to
use
weapons
that
could
be
used,
including
poison
gas
and
nuclear
weapons,
without
restriction.
It's
easy
to
get
emotional
and
start
a
fight.
But
you
will
find
that
ending
a
fight
is
a
much
more
delicate
and
difficult
issue.
All
you
have
to
do
is
simply
admit
defeat
and
apologize,
but
unfortunately
humans
are
not
that
simple.
Especially
after
so
many
casualties
have
been
caused
in
the
name
of
``holy
war.''
There
is
no
way
they
can
just
say
``We
were
wrong,
sorry.''
The
army,
in
particular,
is
determined
to
continue
the
war
to
the
very
end.
I
was
hoping.
It
was
a
war
that
he
did
not
start,
and
anyone
who
saw
it
would
be
foolish
to
earn
the
grudge
of
the
military
and
then
be
held
responsible
for
the
defeat.As
a
politician,
he
only
speaks
arrogantly
and
is
trying
to
destroy
the
mainland.
It
might
have
been
easier
to
have
a
decisive
battle.
But
he
didn't
do
that.
You
decide
to
take
personal
responsibility
and
settle
the
fight
that
has
already
been
resolved.
In
this
situation,
the
only
way
to
subdue
the
hard-liners
in
the
military
and
convince
the
people
is
to
have
the
Emperor
himself,
the
supreme
leader,
make
the
``sacred
decision''
to
end
the
war.
This
was
possible
because
Kantaro
had
a
strong
relationship
of
trust
with
which
he
could
report
anything
and
ask
for
his
cooperation,
including
the
possibility
that
His
Majesty
would
be
tried
and
punished
as
a
war
criminal.
Additionally,
the
Army
Minister
in
question,
Anan,
made
strong
statements
in
front
of
his
subordinates,
but
as
he
was
once
a
colleague
of
Kantaro
as
a
chamberlain
in
the
Imperial
Household
Ministry,
he
knew
of
Kantaro's
integrity,
and
implicitly
encouraged
the
hard-liners
within
the
army.
It
suppressed
it
and
prevented
an
outburst.
In
other
words,
without
Kantaro
Suzuki's
personality,
popularity,
connections,
and
strategic
eye,
the
end
of
the
war
would
not
have
been
possible
at
this
time.
All
we
can
say
is
that
we
were
lucky
to
have
had
this
person
at
this
time
of
emergency,
the
first
since
the
beginning
of
Japan,
when
the
rise
and
fall
of
a
nation
was
at
stake.
Mr.
Kantaro
is
buried
at
Jissoji
Temple
nearby,
but
he
cannot
sleep
with
his
feet
facing
his
grave.
