Beacon 1937

March [-], [-]

Aiwen, who was not wearing a military uniform, but in a white coat made the two children curious, and stared at the handsome and beautiful uncle with wide eyes.

Seeing them looking at him like this, Aiwen couldn't help but smile slightly. Instead of blindly pursuing efficient and high-quality treatment in the past, he slowed down and gently disinfected the boy's large and small wounds.

Although almost all of them were abrasions, there were slight infections in many places. These days must be frequently disinfected to avoid tetanus and other symptoms caused by infection.

"Does it hurt?" Aiwen asked in English when he saw the boy frowning and flinching from time to time.

The boy looked at him, and shook his head repeatedly as if he understood what the other person meant.Even though the disinfectant touched the wound and brought tears to his eyes, he tried his best to endure it.The elder brother is strong and stubborn, but the younger sister, who is only three or four years old, can't bear it anymore. The moment the medical alcohol touches her wound, she burst into tears.Ai Wen picked her up and sat on his lap, not caring how dirty the girl was, coaxing and tricking her, and patiently treated her wounds, while his brother comforted his sister.

Huston couldn't help but feel a little funny. You must know that Ivan would not be so "kind" to wounded soldiers on weekdays: First, because there were a steady stream of wounded during the war, there was no time left for the field doctors to think about how painful the wounded were. The second is because once you hesitate, you may miss the best time for first aid, or even miss the chance to rescue the next seriously injured soldier.

However, at this moment, Ivan's heart was extremely heavy.For more than a month, he almost stayed on the "boat" and didn't get off, thinking that there were no civilians on the island long ago. Unexpectedly, when Hurston sent someone to inform him that he was coming, he walked along the way, except for those Japanese soldiers. In addition to the corpses, the corpses of several civilians were actually found.

He didn't understand why he ignored the civilians knowing that a war was about to start here.They have time to build the entire Iwo Jima fortress, don't they have time to transfer civilians?After he saw the clothes on the two children, Aiwen realized more problems... There is no money to get them out of here, and there is almost no food to continue to fill their stomachs.

All the rice they planted and the fish they caught were given to the army. Their fathers, husbands, and sons all went to the battlefield, leaving the old, the weak, women and children helpless.

... War, war, you are the ambition of those people.

Ai Wen stroked the top of the girl's hair, hoping and longing for this war to end soon... sooner...

The sea breeze blew across the scorched earth like sweeping the earth. It wasn't too loud, but it was enough to disturb Aiwen's hearing.

When Koji Ito was escorted by the US military, he heard the cry of a child blown by the wind.Originally with his head bowed and his hands tied behind his back, he just followed the escort team, and casually cast his eyes on the doctor and two children surrounded by several American soldiers in the distance.

In an instant, those gloomy eyes seemed to be shot into by a beam of light, and they suddenly lit up...

Even though he was on the cliff and he was under the cliff, Ito Koji still recognized the person he was thinking of at a glance.

"Ivan... Ivan Abel...!"

Koji Ito, who was quieter than anyone else and without any resistance, suddenly yelled loudly, which made the American soldiers who escorted them startled. silence.

"Ivan! Ivan...!" However, Koji Ito yelled like crazy, completely ignoring the muzzle of the gun behind his head.

I thought I'd never see you again, so I'm trying to forget you. I think I'm about to succeed, I should... I'm about to succeed, but why do you want me to see you here again!

"Alvin Abel...!"

His face was firmly pressed to the ground, but it still couldn't stop him from shouting.

The sea breeze never stopped, and the voice under the headwind could not reach the ears of the doctor at the bottom of the cliff.

Please turn around, please look at me.

I, Koji Ito, have long disdain other people's attention, all I want is yours...

Alvin Abel...Alvin Abel...Alvin Abel...

A soldier suddenly hit him hard in the back with the butt of a gun, making him speechless for a while.

The boy at the bottom of the cliff suddenly looked up at the group of people on the cliff, his face full of doubts, but he still tugged on the doctor's white coat a few times.

Aiwen turned his gaze to the little boy beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

I saw the child raised his finger and pointed to the top of the cliff, eagerly asking him to look at that side.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look...

It seems that one of the captives is desperately resisting.Looking from them, you can only see the backs of several American soldiers who are subduing the captives. Ivan whose sight is blocked can't see who the struggling Japanese is. Besides, for a field doctor, this kind of thing is common .

He smiled and turned back to the boy and said, "It's okay, the battle here is over, and no one will come to hurt you."

The boy stared into his beautiful blue eyes, trying to understand what Ai Wen said. After a long time, he suddenly nodded heavily.

On that day, Iwo Jima became the springboard for the U.S. military to directly bomb the Japanese mainland, and even built a military base on the island

On May [-] of the same year, Berlin was captured, and the Soviet Union captured the Reichstag, intending to capture Hitler alive in one fell swoop.But the Soviet Red Army did not find Hitler himself, but found a charred corpse in a bomb crater.

On May [-], Germany unconditionally surrendered, and the surrender ceremony was held in Berlin.

On July [-], the United States, Britain, and China issued the "Potsdam Proclamation" (Note [-]), urging Japan to surrender quickly and unconditionally, but the Japanese government ignored it.

On August [-], the United States dropped an atomic bomb code-named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan (Note [-]).Shock the world.

On September [-], the U.S. military dispatched another bomber to drop an atomic bomb code-named "Fat Man" on the city of Nagasaki, Japan (Note [-]).

On April [-], the Emperor of Japan broadcast to the whole country, accepting the Potsdam Proclamation and implementing the edict of unconditional surrender.

Note [-]: The Potsdam Proclamation was published on July [-], [-]. Its full name is "The Potsdam Proclamation of China, the United States and Britain Urging Japan to Surrender", and it is referred to as "Potsdam Proclamation" or "Potsdam Declaration".The main content of this announcement is the decision to declare that the three countries are committed to defeating Japan after defeating Nazi Germany and fulfilling the Cairo Declaration and other ways to deal with post-war Japan.

Note [-]: The atomic bombing of Hiroshima was a war event that shocked the world.In the latter part of World War II, the Japanese government refused to implement the Potsdam Proclamation. In order to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible and completely reverse the war situation, the US government decided to drop atomic bombs on Japan.

Note [-]: The U.S. bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs, which also caused the Japanese people to suffer serious disasters brought about by the war of aggression launched by the militarists.The Japanese people became the victims of the war, and at the same time experienced the endless suffering caused by the atomic bomb.

(The above notes are taken from Baidu)

PS: Let me talk about why the United States did not drop the atomic bomb on Tokyo, the capital of Japan at that time. One of the reasons: Hiroshima and Nagasaki were Japan’s heavy industry bases at that time. Most of Japan’s military enterprises were concentrated there, and the concentrated targets were easy to attack .The second reason: atoms are more conducive to exerting the power of the atomic bomb explosion when the environment and climate are suitable. For example, there are high mountains around the city, which is not conducive to the shock wave of the atomic bomb.
