MacArthur is known as the "King of Pens". Of course he had to "pretend to be bi" on such a pleasant occasion. MacArthur signed with five pens, on the one hand to humiliate the Japanese, and on the other hand to give this Some souvenirs were left from the signing ceremony. MacArthur was the most unique general in the U.S. military. His behavior was eccentric, and even his dress was very different from other officers. When Japan signed the unconditional surrender agreement, MacArthur also showed his perverse character vividly. After the signing ceremony began, MacArthur first signed the word "Doug" with the first pen, and then gave the pen to Lieutenant General Wainwright who was standing behind him.
The reason why MacArthur gave the first pen to Lieutenant General Wainwright was mainly to thank Lieutenant General Wainwright for spending more than three years in a Japanese prisoner of war camp for him. After the Pacific War broke out in December 1941, the Japanese army sent heavy troops to capture the Philippines where MacArthur was stationed. MacArthur had no choice but to escape from the Philippines. Before leaving, MacArthur said to the people around him: "I will definitely come back." After MacArthur retreated, Lieutenant General Wainwright took over MacArthur's duties and became a prisoner of the Japanese army instead of MacArthur.
MacArthur then signed the word "Russ" with a second pen. MacArthur gave the pen to the British general Percival. Percival was also an Allied general captured by Japan in the early stages of World War II. In the Battle of Malaysia, Percival was defeated by Fengwen Yamashita, the Malayan Tiger, and led 130,000 British, Austrian, and Indian troops to surrender to Japan. Afterwards, Percival, like Lester, was imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp in the northeastern region of our country.
Immediately afterwards, MacArthur took out a third pen. He wrote the words "MacArthur" with the third pen, and then put the pen back into his pocket. After returning to the United States, MacArthur gave the pen to the U.S. Government Archives. Then MacArthur took out a fourth pen. He used the fourth pen to write down his position. This pen was also put away by MacArthur. After returning to the United States, MacArthur gave the pen to West Point, the highest military academy in the United States.
Finally, MacArthur took out the fifth pen, wrote down the year, month and day of the day, and put the pen away at the same time. After returning to the United States, MacArthur gave the pen to his wife. MacArthur used five pens to complete the signing ceremony, and taught the Japanese a lesson with a victor's attitude, which made the Japanese representative Aoi Shigemitsu present feel ashamed. After the signing ceremony, Japanese imperialism also completely lowered its proud head.
