Japan has been a semi-colony of the Americans since the end of World War II in 1945, in other words, American cannon fodder. During the Cold War, Japan's role has been a strategic bridgehead for the Far East to monitor the Soviet Union, and today, Japan is under pressure from both china and Russia. The United States is also extremely exploitative of Japan, Trump once demanded that Japan should share the annual military expenditure in Japan from $2 billion to $8 billion, and now the Biden administration has not made such excessive demands after taking office, but the role of Japanese cannon fodder has not changed, and the new Kishida Fumio government seems to be completely addicted to cannon fodder. Today's Japanese want to take the initiative to charge forward and block bullets for their master, the United States.
According to the latest reports in the Japanese media, just a few days ago, Japan has finalized a total amount of 5.4 trillion yen in the 2022 defense budget, it is difficult to imagine that a country that only has a self-defense force and does not have the qualification to have a national defense force will spend $47 billion in a year, to know that the British defense budget for the whole year in 2021, combined, is only $48 billion, which is already Japan's military budget, the eighth consecutive year to hit a new high. Some of these major projects cost $53 million to upgrade the Izumo helicopter frigate into an aircraft carrier in the true sense of the word. In fact, since the 1990s, Japan has gradually entered the road of having a real aircraft carrier in the name of the so-called development of large frigates. Previously, the Japanese also claimed that the deck strength of the Izumo-class helicopter frigate was not strong enough to support the strong airflow of the vertical take-off and landing fighters, and now they have hit their own faces with actual actions. In addition, japan's Ministry of Defense will allocate $670 million to buy eight F-35A stealth fighter jets, $343 million to develop Type 12 anti-ship missiles, and $445 million to purchase four F-35B stealth carrier-based fighter jets.
What is certain is that in the future, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will only have a name for itself, which has truly evolved into the level of the Wehrmacht, not only the Izumo helicopter frigate will be officially converted into an aircraft carrier, but its No. 2 ship Kaga is also currently undergoing this project. It is not difficult to see from the naming rules given by the local Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to its own ships that its ambitions are quite large, because these ships basically follow the names of the old Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. In the future, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will have two aircraft carriers, two helicopter carriers, 10 destroyers, 29 frigates, and a new Soryu-class submarine equipped with the AIP system, which is already quite large for a country of Japan's size.
It is also worth mentioning that the huge defense budget adopted by the Japanese cabinet this time is to prepare for China. Since this period of time, Japan has been constantly making trouble on some sensitive issues, and has declared that it will intervene in conflicts in the Taiwan Strait, and former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is currently in a state of resignation, has threatened that "the mainland's attack on Taiwan is suicide." It is no exaggeration to say that the ambitions of the Japanese government have been clearly revealed, and this can be seen from words to actual actions. To that end, my country must make all necessary preparations.
Although the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force appears to be insufficient on the surface, the Chinese Navy is no longer the weak maritime military force that can only carry out coastal defense tasks more than 10 years ago, and the capital ships that the Chinese Navy is serving now have two aircraft carriers, two amphibious assault ships, 4 Type 055 large destroyers, 22 Type 052D destroyers, 6 Type 052C destroyers, and 30 Type 054A frigates. 8 Type 071 dock landing ships. This is not to mention the large number of auxiliary ships and small ships, such as the Type 901 integrated supply ship with a full load displacement of 50,000 tons and the Type 056A anti-submarine corvette. In terms of underwater power, the Chinese Navy has shown a crushing trend against the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and only 19 nuclear submarines are the peak that the other side cannot overcome. And in the next period of time, China will have more large ships in service, such as the 003 aircraft carrier and the third Type 075 amphibious assault ship, etc., the former's full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons, or more than 40,000 tons. Today, let alone the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, even if the U.S. Navy's forces deployed in the Pacific region are placed within the first island chain, they will not be able to take advantage. Unfortunately, Japan is bent on serving as cannon fodder for Americans, and for them, what they should do now is to boost the economy that has suffered heavy losses under the impact of the epidemic, rather than exhausting military force.
