Since its defeat in World War II, Japan has become a little brother of the United States with a low brow, not allowed to study nuclear weapons, not allowed to have its own army, and the United States thinks that it seems to have pulled out the minions of Japan, an ambitious country. However, is Japan really so obedient that it is willing to give up its dream of becoming a great power? That's obviously not possible. As early as 100 years ago, American military officers warned that the future threat of the United States was not China and Russia, but ambitious Japan, and finally the prediction was fulfilled.

It happened at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when our country was bullied, and the European powers all came to share this big cake of our country, and Japan naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, in order to compete for the interests in northeast China, Japan even did not hesitate to fight with the powerful Tsarist Russia. Surprisingly, Japan not only did not lose, but also won the war. The other side could have been extremely powerful at that time, and the Tsarist Russia was fighting in the south and the north, and from this point we cannot underestimate the strength of Japan as an island country. At that time, a captain officer named Douglas MacArthur and his father, Arthur MacArthur, came to northeast China to investigate, and they discovered the ferocity of the Japanese army and the surprise of the Japanese command tactics in northeast China, and the Japanese commander was like a big gamble before the big rise, and had amazing confidence in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and it turned out that the performance of the Japanese army did not live up to the commander's gamble.

MacArthur therefore asserted that the greatest threat to the United States in the future will not be China and Russia, but the seemingly inconspicuous Japan. Why does it seem that Japan seems inconspicuous, because Japan is a small country and a small population, which is completely incomparable with the European powers at that time. However, MacArthur, who had carefully studied it, certainly knew that Japan was not so simple, and it could be seen from the historical trajectory of Japan's development that Japan's future must be bright. The fact is that Japan during World War II did shine brightly and became the source of World War I, and the United States also suffered great losses.

Even now, we cannot reduce our vigilance against Japan, although there is no real threat from Japan at present, but Japan's military development in recent years has been very fast, and it has to be paid attention to.
