1945 August 14

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 they are willing to accept their joint statement.

Gaimou seeks the Kangning of emperors and subjects and enjoys the glory of all nations. Division is the legacy of the emperor's ancestors, and I firmly believe it. In the former, the reason why the empire declared war on the United States and Britain was actually to seek the self-existence of the empire and the stability of East Asia. We have no intention of excluding the sovereignty of other countries and invading their territories. However, since the war, I have studied for four years. Although the soldiers on land and sea are brave and good at fighting, there are still hundreds of officials who make great efforts to govern. Hundreds of millions of people do their best to serve the public, but 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 unpredictable. If we continue to fight, it will not only lead to the demise of our nation, but also destroy human civilization. In this way, how can I save my trillion-dollar son and thank Chen for his knowledge of Huang? This is why the imperial government accepted the joint declaration.

I have to express my deep regret for those allies who have been working with the empire for the liberation of East Asia. Mindful of the death of emperors and subjects in the war, the martyrdom of Zhining, the untimely people and their survivors, the five internal organs are 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. However, the trend of fortune is that I have to endure what I can't bear and feel embarrassed, thinking that the world will be peaceful.

I'm here to safeguard the national system. I believe in the sincerity of my loyal subjects and will always be with them. When you are emotional, you will make trouble in vain, or your compatriots will crowd out each other and disrupt the current situation, and you will lose your way and lose your faith in the world. This is my deep warning.

We should unite as one and pass it on from generation to generation, be convinced that China is immortal and has a long way to go, devote ourselves to future construction, stick to morality, aim high, carry forward the essence of the national sports system and not lag behind the evolution of the world. Your subjects, such as you, are willing to do what they want.
