Why did MacArthur sign with five pens when Japan was defeated and surrendered?

Strictly speaking, important details of military history cannot be distorted. MacArthur used six pens when he signed on behalf of the Allies in World War II! From the photos taken by China scholars in the National Archives of the United States a few years ago, it can be seen that the signatures of MacArthur, allied representatives and Japanese representatives on the unconditional surrender of the Japanese army in that year are still intact despite the vicissitudes of more than 70 years. So, what was the historic moment when the devils surrendered?

1On September 2nd, 945, the representatives of the Allies accepted the unconditional surrender ceremony of Japan and docked the American battleship in Tokyo Bay? Missouri? In fact, the ship's anchorage is only 30 nautical miles from the allied headquarters in Yokohama. This is not to say that there are not enough safe places in Tokyo or Yokohama. The main purpose of the ceremony is to reconcile contradictions, that is, the contradiction between the army represented by MacArthur and the navy represented by Nimitz. Battle of honor? .

At 8: 30 in the morning, the representatives of the Allies arrived at the anchorage of Missouri by destroyer from Yokohama. The first person to board the ship was General Xu Yongchang from China, and then representatives from Britain, the Soviet Union, Australia, France, the Netherlands and Canada took to the deck to wait. MacArthur, who always likes to play big cards, came by special plane at 8: 50. Nimitz greeted him on the deck on behalf of the navy, and then led him to rest in the general's command room.

Subsequently, representatives of the Japanese government and military boarded the ship, and 1 1 people headed by Cabinet Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Mamoru and Chief of Staff Umezu Yoshijiro arrived at the signing desk one after another. At 9 o'clock in the morning, MacArthur and Nimitz walked out of the lounge. On the deck, in addition to the allied forces and Japanese representatives, there are 50 generals from Lu Haijun in the United States lined up in two rows. * * * witnessed this historic moment. The ceremony was first published by MacArthur, who announced the last sentence:

I now invite the Japanese emperor and representatives of the Japanese government, representatives of the Japanese Imperial Base Camp, to sign the surrender at the designated place.

Shigemitsu Mamoru and Mizuho signed it successively, which was completed at about 9 o'clock. 10, MacArthur immediately continued to announce? The supreme commander of the allied forces now signs on behalf of all countries fighting against Japan? Is actually a curtain call for himself, and turned to invite American lieutenant general Wainewright and British lieutenant general percival to accompany them to sign. These two have just been delivered by special plane from Shenyang Japanese prisoner of war camp. More than three years as prisoners of war made them skinny, wearing the smallest military uniform and still looking fat.
