The attack on Pearl Harbor, if you take it out alone to talk about, this idea is not only stupid, the whole thing is the rhythm of carrying a shovel to dig a pit for yourself, planning to bury yourself.
So the question is, why do the Japanese do this?
The simple answer is that the Japanese are already anxious, he does not sneak attack Pearl Harbor, there is no way to live.
If we don't say anything else, the Japanese on the Battlefield in China have already been framed, staring at Chongqing with their eyes wide open, and they can't fight into it when they die.
If you want to make Chinese submit, you can use all the tricks, and the spy agents are like the ant, drilling into the Kuomintang and playing with the fate of differentiation.
Draw out a lot of traitors, the biggest of whom is Wang Jingwei, and give them a flag-waving shout, a serious nonsense what curve to save the country.
This also slaughtered and burned houses everywhere, threatening Chinese, and as a result, the situation did not change at all, and our Eighth Route Army also interspersed the occupied areas into horse honeycombs, and there were base areas everywhere.
You are giving the Japanese a hundred hands, and they can't plug the holes in the Chinese battlefield, and the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the cost is more and more.
By 1941, the American ambassador, who was squatting on a small Island in Japan, was surprised to find that the Japanese had twenty thousand German marks left in foreign currency. (Ten Years of Messengers)
You just say, Americans do business to make money, you have no money, and what business is not business. Didn't the Americans start embargoing the Japanese?
This guy can make the Japanese anxious, the war on the battlefield in China can't see the head, and now even trade with the Americans has not been done.
Just ask you, what should the Japanese do next?
Since fighting a war requires resources, there is no money to buy resources with the Americans, and the resources that the Japanese buy from the Americans are almost all produced in Southeast Asia.
Tell yourself what the Japanese should do? Even if you have an IQ of five hundred, he can't think of a good way, and the Japanese can only go to Pearl Harbor.
No matter how stupid this idea is, he can at least solve the urgent need, right? This is called drinking and quenching thirst, the Japanese who can't do it are about to be choked to death, he can only have one step at a time, where to manage the next step to go there, there are not so many long-term plans.
So dry, let's talk about some specific evidence, to tell the big guy about this, and then you look down.
Why? War is something that moves the whole body at once. Otherwise, the old ancestor would not mention in the "Art of War of Sun Tzu" that the upper soldiers were cutting down the plot, and then cutting the friendship, and then cutting the soldiers, and attacking the city under it.
In fact, by the time the Japanese turned their guns on China, the Japanese were already on the road to failure.
So let's take a look at what the lives of the ordinary people in their families really looked like before and after Japan launched its war of aggression against China.
This is very illustrative of the embarrassment of the Japanese.
In 1937, this should be a dividing line, our all-out war of resistance also began in this year, the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was officially opened, and on the frontal battlefield of China, although the decline of the Chinese army still existed, the change was still obvious.
In each battle, the Number of Japanese killed was no longer a few thousand, but tens of thousands, measured in tens of thousands.
The Japanese have begun to lose real blood, so that after the Battle of Wuhan, after a battle, the Casualties of the Japanese reached more than 250,000, which also left the Japanese without enough soldiers to launch such a huge war as the Wuhan Campaign, and the confrontation between China and Japan on the battlefield was officially formed.
So the Chinese battlefield is like this, let's go back and see what happened to the Japanese island?
First of all, before 1937, the life of ordinary Japanese people was still very powerful, although it could not be said that eating meat at mealtime, but it was no problem to be full.
Even the dolls have spare money in school, watch movies twice a week, which is ordinary, and there are middle school students studying some international news.
When you talk about this little life, it is more than a good word to say clearly.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that there are small partners to say: "Xiaobian, how do you know?" ”
In fact, if you read these things, you can see this if you read some of the memoirs of Japanese veterans who participated in World War II.
Xiaobian saw this in "The Man Who Came Back Alive".
All of the above, let's take a look at how prosperous the Japanese economy is, you can click on this taste.
Before 1937, the streets of Tokyo, Japan, were no less prosperous than in Tokyo, Japan, and vegetable and fruit shops, pharmacies, tofu shops, bookstores, and cafes were open everywhere.
According to statistics, in the 1930s, he had a cake shop among the sixteen residents of Tokyo, Japan.
You said that the industrial growth rate of the Japanese was even stronger than that of the Americans, whether it was manufacturing or industrial products, if you just took out the data and the French ratio, you can exceed it.
Of course, under this growth rate of the Japanese, basically rely on primary industries such as handicraft workshops to make up for it, after all, he is a new industrial country, and the family's foundation is not high.
But to be able to do that, it's really not bad.
But all this came to an abrupt end in 1937, and the good days of the Japanese came to an end.
Shops on the streets of Japan, one after another, collapsed, so that later the banks could not survive, and after 1937, small banks either collapsed or were eaten by large banks.
As for other fruit shops, cake shops, etc., they will soon be gone.
None of the taxis that had wandered the streets before could no longer be seen, because the precious gasoline was pulled by the Japanese and consumed on the Battlefield in China.
The Japanese want to go to the street and go to a restaurant, don't think about it, even if you have money, he can't find a restaurant.
The originally active private economy has basically been strangled to death, and the enterprises that can survive have not been destroyed, but have been transformed into military enterprises.
In the past, The Japanese could still eat enough, but after 1937, Japan's food supply began to be insufficient.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that a small partner will ask: "The Japanese did not occupy a large amount of land in China, the whole of Korea was occupied by them, and it is not difficult to grow some grain out?" ”
Growing food is indeed not difficult, but the problem is that in the case of war, it is impossible to produce anything completely.
In fact, the Japanese also plundered a lot of grain from these places to transport to the small islands of Japan, but they still could not plug this hole.
The Japanese began to implement rationing, in fact, by 1939, the Japanese were relying on the sea, but it was difficult to sell fish inland.
Why? The lack of gasoline made transport difficulties and goods could only circulate locally.
Everyone knows that the Japanese especially like to eat red beans, what red bean soup, red bean rice, red bean rice cake and so on, so in 1939, what about red beans? Even the rice they are accustomed to eating cannot be eaten.
You can only eat the kind of rice produced in Southeast Asia, do you think that long rice can be eaten open? Think too much.
At this point in time, Japan already has a rice shortage, when the Japanese go out to buy rice, they can only buy two liters, if there is more, the store will not sell, love to do what to do!
Therefore, the survival of the Japanese people is threatened, according to the narrative of the book "The Man Who Came Back Alive", the Japanese at that time had to rely on relationships to buy something.
So much so that when they go to the rationing house to buy rice, they are often pushed back by the sentence: "I don't know you, so I can't sell rice to you!" ”
Well, what is this called logic, because I don't know, so I don't sell.
Let's talk about it, what is the living environment of the Japanese?
On this point, the big guys can refer to the fact that after Japan's unconditional surrender, famine broke out soon after, and made a comparison.
Okay, let's move on.
You don't know that by 1940, even a small box of matches in Japan was rationed.
Flipping through the materials, Xiaobian also found that in 1940, in fact, the Japanese in the Chinese battlefield, every day to consume four million US dollars.
And the Japanese only prepared 4.6 billion yen for the war of aggression against China, which is enough! The gap between the teeth is disliked as small.
Therefore, before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese could be said to have no way out, either slowly dying on the Chinese battlefield, or opening up new financial roads and finding new sources of materials.
On both of these two roads, you have to die, and the difference is only the length of time you live.
As a result, they went north to fight the Soviets, let Marshal Zhukov clean up for a while, and hit the Japanese with blue noses and swollen faces, and they knew that the Soviets were not easy to mess with, and the whole thing was a monster.
The Japanese dare to shoot half a base shell, and the Soviets dare to pay tribute to the three base shells, and the tube is full!
Finally the Japanese turned around and touched the Americans' Pearl Harbor.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some friends have to say: "Why do the Japanese want to invade China?" If he hadn't done this and developed well, he wouldn't have been beaten like this! ”
If you look at the history of the development of the Japanese people, let's not look at anything else, just look at how Japan developed after the Meiji Restoration.
After all, before watching the Meiji Restoration, he was not energetic.
After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese called angry and strong, see the sky to learn Europe and the United States, this national strength clicked upwards.
But no matter how long he is, after all, the foundation is thin, and for thousands of years the Japanese have no civilization to say.
You say, how much can he accumulate?
While learning from Europe, Japan also found a phenomenon that the rise of Europe was actually through bloody foreign wars, plundering the wealth of other countries and achieving its own glory.
At this time, the Japanese turned their guns on Ryukyu, now Okinawa. Hey, this time the guy ate a belly round.
Later, he swallowed the Korean Peninsula, which was a little thicker, and finally in the Battle of Jiawu, he took a lot of money from the Qing Dynasty.
Then along the way, the Japanese found the advantages of foreign wars, after winning the war, not only can they get back all the money consumed in the war, but they can also have a surplus, and the idea of winning is not negligible, it is several times his domestic finances.
From the war of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese gradually discovered the weakness of the Chinese at that time, as long as they started fighting, they had money to earn, and even to scare it, they had benefits to take.
The Japanese swelled.
Then, in this process, the Japanese trend of thought also began to change, and under the collision of not many theories, militarism was born.
The staunch enforcer of militarism is actually the emperor.
In order to realize his ideas, this emperor co-opted a number of young junior officers, trained fascist hounds, and developed showa warlords with the Baden-Baden clique as the core.
These guys have all been instructed by the Emperor of Japan, and if you come out with a few words, you will understand how terrible this Baden-Baden group is, including Ninji Okamura, Hideki Tojo, etc., but all the Japanese war criminals who emerged in World War II, you can pull here, and they are all big-level existences.
Speaking of this, it is estimated that some friends will ask: "Why does the Japanese emperor want to win over young officers?" Aren't older people more mature? ”
It is more mature, but the old man has formed his own inherent mode of thinking, and there is a conflict with the Japanese emperor, and the young officer of the Japanese emperor is good at command.
So in the history of Japan, you have found such a phenomenon - many young officers in the following grams do not hesitate to assassinate their superiors to achieve their goals.
On the following grams? This is purely slippery, without the acquiescence of the Japanese Emperor, they tried? Every day, it is said that the japanese people's dignity and inferiority are imprinted on the bones, what is the matter?
Therefore, the implementation and realization of militarism was actually caused by the Japanese emperor, and with such results, we can see that Japan's invasion of China is being carried out step by step, step by step.
Let's talk about a few examples, you feel it.
Everyone knows that the September 18 incident, on the surface, the Japanese government agreed to it? No, but Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro could launch them, and after they were launched, it was reasonable to say that these two guys would have to sit on the bottom of the prison even if they were not shot.
The result? These two were promoted to the rank of knight, and Ishihara Guan'er rushed into the Japanese military headquarters and became the de facto second-in-command.
Ishihara was very proud, or rather excited.
On the following grams, it can actually get praise, which seems to make those who have a hearty smell.
When Ishihara Wan'er wanted to invade China according to his own intentions. His idea was very simple: Aggression against China was not an overnight affair, it was a slow process, carried out using the method of slow erosion, and his faction was called the non-enlargement faction, and the opposite was the enlargement faction.
But his theory was opposed by the vast majority of people in Japan. Soldiers do not have military merit in war, without military merit, how can they climb to high positions, it is a very simple truth.
Therefore, Ishihara Guan'er was once proud of the following keshang, so that his subordinates also came once.
Of course, it was not the assassination that targeted him, but the refusal, and Ishihara's men ran to the opponent's camp and shouted for the opponent.
Looking at this, is it chaos in the Japanese military circles? You can pull it down! What Japanese military circles are not military circles, you have to see, there is an emperor above them.
So everything is just according to the emperor's idea, the emperor's authority among the Japanese, you can refer to the American Li Mei fire attack, why did not drop incendiary bombs into the Japanese emperor's home to argue.
Americans want to rely on the authority of the Japanese emperor to conquer the whole of Japan, and it is conceivable that the Japanese emperor has the right to speak in the military circles.
The end result was that Ishihara Guan'er was kicked out of the military department, after all, is not the value of Ishihara Guan'er, after 9/18, has not been in line with the Japanese emperor's ideas.
The final result of this kind of thinking is that Japan's militarism has become more prosperous.
As a result, it was said that the three months of good fighting China were beaten, and it was beaten for fourteen years.
The Japanese were completely stupid, they should not be like this according to the style and logic of playing with the Qing Dynasty, they did not understand at all Chinese why they were so tough this time.
And the militarism that relies on war to feed itself, just imagine that on the Chinese battlefield, it can no longer exert too much heat.
Do you think he's going to start the next war? Using war to solve problems is a characteristic of militarism, so it is sooner or later to attack Pearl Harbor.
According to their own logic, maybe if I fight somewhere else, the nationalist army will be able to surrender here?
