On December 7, 1941, japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, and the Pacific War broke out, and the situation in World War II changed. The nature of Japan's move, in today's terms, is that Lao Lai could not repay his debts and wanted to beat the creditor to death, but the creditor Kong Wu was powerful and killed Lao Lai.
Before Pearl Harbor, the United States was practicing isolationism, that is, no matter how dark the world was, I just buried my head in money and made a windfall in war. Both Germany and Japan imported a large amount of materials from the United States. For example, in 1937, the year of the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, 93% of Japan's copper, 91% of automobiles, 61% of oil, 60% of steel, and 49% of machinery came from the United States. 54.5 percent of the total strategic goods came from the United States.
China has repeatedly asked the United States to embargo military materials and equipment to Japan, but the United States has rejected them. In her September 1937 article "The Disappointing Attitude of the United States," Song Meiling pointed out that the United States was supporting the aggressors in massacring Chinese people. Former US Secretary of State Stimson said: Everyone in the world knows that Japan has two allies, Germany and Italy, but in fact, we are Japan's best allies. If the United States stopped supplying Supplies to Japan, Chinese would easily defeat Japan's aggression.

In the face of strong Chinese opposition, the United States finally launched the so-called "moral embargo" in July 1938, in which the United States demanded that domestic aircraft companies no longer sell aircraft and parts to Japan. However, in the year of the "moral embargo," the United States sold more than seven times as many aircraft to Japan as the previous year. It can be seen that the morality of the Americans is a joke.
Japan had 180 billion foreign exchange reserves and 500 tons of gold reserves before the all-out war, but these money were exhausted in less than two years. By 1939, Japan's economy was stretched thin and it felt powerless to repay the huge amount of money it owed to the United States for supplies. So it launched a war in Southeast Asia, trying to plunder more strategic materials from Southeast Asia.

By 1940, the United States had finally condemned Japan, not because it had waged an unjust war, but because Japan owed money and did not pay it back. In the American dictionary, there is no such thing as justice, everything is business. Not owing money is still far more serious than burning and looting.
Condemnation and subsequent sanctions, Japan finally couldn't bear it. The old lai decided to take the risk: beat the creditor to death. As long as the creditor is killed, not only can the huge debt be forgiven, but also a large amount of materials can be obtained. After a long period of preparation, the Japanese Navy sneaked into Pearl Harbor, the base of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and the Pacific War broke out.

The United States could no longer stay out of the way, and they began to provide limited assistance to China, four years after China's all-out war of resistance. If the United States imposes an embargo on Japan from the very beginning, Japan's aggressive behavior will not last even 3 years, and China will be able to kill as many innocent soldiers and civilians as possible.
If you are grateful to Dade because the United States has provided aid, it is not necessary, because by the time of the victory of the War of Resistance, the total amount of American aid is $800 million. Aid to the Soviets during the same period was $9 billion, and britain was $29 billion. The United States has provided only the least amount of resources so that China will not be unable to sustain itself and withdraw from the war, while continuing to contain and deplete the effective forces of the Japanese army with its flesh and blood. In the eyes of the United States, this is still a business.

The $800 million loan was finally repaid by China, and all the items that China could take out, such as agricultural products, tung oil, tungsten, tin, antimony, leather, wool, raw silk, tea, and so on, were returned. At the same time, overseas Chinese donated a total of $1.3 billion, far more than the number of loans in the United States.
Under China's control, the creditor of the United States violently beat Lao Lai, who did not want to repay the money, and finally gained huge benefits from Lao Lai, and China did not get any benefits except for paying blood and tears and huge interest. In the 244 years since the founding of the United States, only 16 years have not been at war. In so many wars, not a single battle has been fought because of morality, because americans simply do not understand what morality is.
