After Japan's mainland dream was driven out of Asia by Wang Jiuling, it turned its attention to the Americas. As China's situation stabilized and its development became better and better, its national power and military power were obviously stronger than Japan's. In other words, not only could Japan not be able to defeat Qin, it could even defeat Qin.
Even the weak China couldn't defeat it, so Japan's thoughts were completely focused on how to conquer the Americas.
Japan was originally divided into the southern faction and the northern faction. However, the unexpected rise of Qin and the strong rise of China curbed the ambitions of the two Japanese factions. Neither Japanese faction can realize their ambitions, so they can only fuse.
The eastward movement will satisfy Japan's needs, and the eastward movement will not embarrass any group.
There is no Asian continent to contain Japan's troops, and no Asian continent to consume Japanese soldiers and resources. Not only that, as long as they have money, Japan can also get a lot of resources from China and Qin, which makes them fully equipped to fight the United States and Qin.
Being willing to provide the supplies they need has actually solved Japan's worries. First, Japan's worry about material shortages has been solved. Second, Japan's worry about Qin and China taking advantage of Japan's full-out attack on the United States has also been solved.
What Japan has always been most worried about is not that it cannot defeat the United States, but that China and the Qin Congress will not take advantage of the US-Japanese war to attack Japan.
Qin is not only willing to provide a large amount of supplies this time, but also sells Japan a batch of Baiqi assault rifles that Japan has always dreamed of. This is a weapon that Japan has always wanted. Although Japan has also imitated it, it does not feel as good as Qin's.
Now Qin sells 200,000 cigarettes to Japan. As long as the money is in place, there is no problem with 1 million cigarettes.
The Japanese felt that the Qin State had some conspiracy or that there was something wrong with the firearms. The answer was no. The Japanese looked carefully and found no problems.
China and Qin promised that Japan could buy as many rifles and ammunition as they wanted as long as they settled in cash. If they could buy weapons and ammunition, then the pressure on Japan's domestic military industry would be much less.
In the past, Wang Jiuling did not sell these things to Japan because the huge threat of Soviet Russia still existed. In addition, threats from Australia and other places still existed, and Japan's movements were unknown. But now it is different. Soviet Russia has disappeared from the earth, and Mars has
There is no more Soviet Russia, and the South Pacific is now ruled by Qin
Now Japan's intention is very obvious, it is the United States. Wang Jiuling hopes that Japan and the United States will fight more fiercely. The worse the better, but the huge gap in national power makes Japan unable to afford automated weapons and equipment. Japan has a large number of troops with good equipment.
, It’s not that Japan doesn’t know the importance of automatic weapons, but it’s that they feel numb when looking at the ammunition consumed by automatic weapons. Japan is an island country and lacks resources. If Qin and China restrict them, Japan will be exhausted with the Americans in North America.
If there is no breakthrough progress, then Japan will be finished
Therefore, in order to make the Japanese more confident, and because the threat from the Japanese team to China is no longer great, Wang Jiuling made every effort to improve Japan's backward weapons and equipment. Similarly, Japan will not have a lot of money. In order to buy ammunition, the Japanese can only
Those who rob white people on the American continent will naturally fall into a vicious cycle, and the white people's resistance will naturally become more intense. According to the brutal character of the Japanese, massacres are inevitable, and Wang Jiuling is interested in this person who can kill
The more, the better. It would be best to kill all the white people in North America.
On Saturday, May 22, 1943, the Japanese combined fleet launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Although the Pacific Ocean was in the peak season of typhoon activity at this time, Japan felt that this could better demonstrate its unexpected thoughts.
This time, Japan has concentrated half of its navy into a huge fleet of ten aircraft carriers, which is personally commanded by the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Although it is very dangerous, Japan is even more dangerous if it fails. Japan has no way out. America is Japan's only way in and out.
This time they not only want to destroy the U.S. Navy in Hawaii, but also completely occupy it and turn it into an advanced base for Japan to attack the west coast of the United States.
The plan to attack Pearl Harbor was actually quite risky, because in the vast ocean, it was very difficult not to be discovered.
Pearl Harbor is located in the Hawaiian Islands in the eastern Pacific between Japan and the United States. It is about 3,500 nautical miles away from Japan and about 2,000 nautical miles away from the mainland of the United States. It is the most important base of the United States Pacific Fleet. Now that the world situation is so tense, the United States must have taken precautions.
But it is different in the United States. After Germany attacked Soviet Russia, it has been expressing its friendship with the United States in various ways. Until Germany now attacks Western Europe, Germany still promotes it in this way. Germany has been working hard to make the United States believe that Germany is friendly to them.
harmless
In addition, Japan has always promoted this, so even though the U.S. government predicted a huge danger of national annihilation, Americans still seemed to be singing and dancing. They were only worried about whether the end of the world would come, and never thought that war could prevent the end of the world.
Across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans to the United States
After the peaceful passage of 1942, all Americans no longer believed that it was the end of the world. Everyone should drink and pick up girls. Things in Asia and Europe were none of their business.
Roosevelt and others were also afraid of this kind of thing. Having no fighting spirit is the most terrible thing, so they wanted to create an incident to stimulate the fighting spirit of Americans.
Roosevelt discussed with senior officials and concluded that Japan would definitely launch an attack on the United States before the end of the European War. Otherwise, Japan would not get anything from a joint attack.
If Japan wants to attack the United States, it must first destroy the U.S. naval base in Hawaii and kill the U.S. Navy. Otherwise, even if Japan successfully lands in Alaska, their transportation lines will be threatened by the U.S. Navy. Therefore, Roosevelt decided that Hawaii should be sacrificed.
But we have to save most of the ships, otherwise it will be difficult
It doesn't matter if the ships are lost. With the strong industrial capabilities of the United States, more will be built before long. Now the Navy's goal is to reduce losses and retain experienced U.S. Navy personnel, as long as they are there.
Before Japan's attack, the United States used its own advanced technology to decipher Japan's intelligence. Although Japan used a special code word, the United States still guessed that Japan would attack the United States in the near future. From the beginning of the war between the German team and the United States, the Americans felt
The war between the United States and Japan is about to begin, so naturally we will pay more attention to Japan.
Roosevelt's policies also made the fate of the Japanese fleet ill-fated. It seemed that the fate of the Japanese fleet was inevitable.
