In view of the general trend of the world and the present situation of the empire, I want to take extraordinary measures to clean up the situation. I hereby tell my subjects that I have ordered the imperial government to inform the United States, Britain, China and the Soviet Union that I am willing to accept their joint statement. Gaimou seeks the Kangning of emperors and subjects and enjoys the glory of all nations. The fourth is the legacy of the emperor's ancestors, which I thought of as soon as possible.

In the former, the reason why the empire declared war on the United States and Britain is to seek the stability of the empire in East Asia, to exclude the sovereignty of other countries and to invade other countries' territories, which is not our original intention. However, the war has lasted for four years. Although Lu Haijun is brave and good at fighting, hundreds of officials make great efforts to govern, and 100 million ordinary people do their best to serve the people, the war situation has not improved, and the world trend is not conducive to me.

In addition, the enemy has frequently used cruel bombs to kill innocent people recently, which is really hard to prevent; If we continue to fight, it will not only lead to the demise of our nation; And will destroy human civilization. In this case, how can I save the son who is hundreds of millions of years old, and Xie Chen is the god of the emperor's ancestors! This is why the imperial government accepted the joint declaration.

I have to express my deep regret for all the allies who have been working with the empire for the liberation of East Asia. Considering that the subjects of the empire died in the war, died in the line of duty, died in the unfortunate and their survivors, and their five internal organs were cracked. As for those who were injured by the war, suffered from the disaster of the war and lost their livelihood, I also deeply miss them.

The suffering of the empire in the future is extraordinary, and I know how your subjects feel. But the trend of fortune is unbearable, and I want to endure it, thinking that the world is peaceful. I'm here to safeguard the national system. I believe in the sincerity of my loyal subjects and will always be with them. If the husband is emotional, there will be trouble, or compatriots will crowd out each other and disrupt the current situation.

Therefore, I lost my way and broke my faith in the world, which I warned deeply. It is appropriate for the whole country to be consistent and handed down from generation to generation, convinced that China will never die. We have a long way to go, devote ourselves to the future construction, stick to morality, be firm in will, and swear to carry forward the essence of the national system and not lag behind the evolution of the world. We hope your subjects will be kind to me.

The Imperial Letter of Japan's Defeat and Surrender was mainly drafted by Japanese Prime Minister Suzuki at that time, written by Hisaishi Kang, Kawada Mizuho, and Masato Angang, and revised by other cabinet ministers.

In order to get rid of Emperor Hirohito's war responsibility and protect the Japanese Mikado system, it also includes trying to reduce the possibility of domestic hardliners triggering a crisis.

The imperial edict used many means in its wording, such as blurring the essence of Japan's war of aggression; To avoid Japan's war responsibility to Asian countries, we only limited our targets to the United States and Britain and transferred Hirohito's responsibility as the supreme commander of the Japanese army to the Japanese government.
