Not long ago, a ship weighing 224,000 tons and 400 meters ran aground at 151 kilometers of the Suez Canal, which eventually led to the paralysis and congestion of canal traffic, and the free navigation of the United States led to a collision with Japanese merchant ships, after which the United States not only believed that it was right, but also demanded 2 billion astronomical compensation from Japan.
On the day of the incident, nothing else happened at sea, there was no obstacle, as usual, the US destroyer sailed freely, at this time, the US warship collided with the Japanese transport ship, which eventually made it impossible for the two countries to establish diplomatic relations, for a long time, the US hegemony at sea was greater, the speed of the US warship at sea was also very fast, therefore, it also led to no time to stop direct collision with Japanese warships, causing accidents, it is reported that the ship that caused the accident is only the main force of the US Navy, it can be said that it is the world's first equipped with ideas, Like the destroyer that controls the array radar, so in addition to this, Japan also said that some U.S. ships should not appear in this sea, and even so, the United States is still there, and the United States will let Japan say such a thing, and the two sides have also quarreled over the collision, and this is according to the maritime regulations. Smaller ships should be shunned, but when a U.S. vessel encounters this situation and the U.S. warship hits him directly without any indication, which ultimately leads to such a thing, then why should the U.S. insist on paying $2 billion in damages? It is understood that Japan was in a closed state at that time, after the Industrial Revolution, the strength of the United States was greatly enhanced, occupying an important position in the world, in fact, in general, the two countries in fact, their strength is really different. The United States must have wanted to use force to enable Japan to open its doors on its own. Moreover, the United States at that time was actually very clear, because the strength of Japan at that time was relatively weak, and it was easy for them to threaten Japan.
If Japan does not open its doors, the United States will certainly open fire on them, and it is conceivable what the scene in Japan will be like at that time. Therefore, Japan can also feel afraid, and because of this, the prestige of the Japanese shogunate has slowly declined, and there is no prestige before it came. And Japan at that time was also very turbulent, and although the turmoil at that time had just begun, it made the situation very chaotic. But in the end, the U.S. Army didn't actually achieve this goal, but they didn't give up, and they left a sentence, come back another day, obviously, this sentence is not just talk.
In 1854, the United States again led troops to Japan, this time, the United States led seven warships into Edo Bay, and then she forced the Japanese to stay. Opening its own doors, at this time, the Japanese shogunate also knew that it had been locked up for so many years, it was far behind, and soon these countries thought of coming, and then the shogunate was forced to sign one treaty after another, with the development of the new system and the development of many years, Japan has gradually become a capitalist country, needless to say, this new Japan must be very concerned about the military aspects of its own country today.
It is very likely that Japan was once divided by the United States, Britain, and other other countries, so that Japan should attach great importance to its own country's military problems. However, because some ideas of the United States and Japan are inconsistent, Japan has also found other new partners. During World War II, Japan and Germany met, making them allies. But the military strength of the United States and Japan at that time was always on the same level. It was in 1941 that the United States sneaked up on Japan, which also made Japan hate the United States very much. However, the United States has seen Japan's actions, which can be said to have annoyed the United States, which has always believed that Japan is a defeated general, and Japan openly attacked the United States this time, and the United States could not stand this tone, and then carried out crazy retaliation against Japan, sending a large number of troops and. But even in the late second period of World War II, Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki also dropped two atomic bombs, and finally Japan suffered heavy losses and had to surrender to the outside world, since then, Japan has become a defeated country, after Japan's surrender, the United States negotiated terms with Japan, indicating that it would garrison troops in Japan, this stationing also meant that Japan began to become a vassal of the United States, and then the United States began to want to control Japan, the United States support for Japan is not without purpose, soon, the United States support for Japan will be quickly restored, when the United States is involved in the Korean War, Japan also provided troops and weapons to the United States, it can be said that it provided some help to the United States, soon the United States began to place large orders to Japan, during this period, Japan was also very happy about this, because they got a lot of benefits, this event is also a period of relative harmony between the United States and Japan, and later with the support of the United States and Japan's own development, its strength gradually increased, according to reports, Japan has become the second largest economic country at that time, it is conceivable that Japan had enough strength at that time, Japan certainly did not want to do things under the hands of the United States, Moreover, as a little brother of the United States, the relationship between the United States and Japan has undergone some changes, but now it seems that the relationship between the United States and Japan is still relatively friendly, because they still maintain the same view on some things, and if they cannot reach consensus on any issue, the relationship between the two countries will be much worse than before, and they may even become enemies.
The United States often uses Japan as a gunner, often let Japan stand up and offend China and Russia, Japan is really stupid, willing to be used by the United States, the rapid development of Japan's economy will inevitably be supported by the United States, after independence, Japan wants to vigorously develop military strength, leave a road for itself, but Japan's intention has long been seen by the United States, the United States has repeatedly asked Japan to stop developing its huge military strength, in order to develop its own strength, Japan often buys a large amount of military power from the United States, every few years, the United States will raise this price, This can be said to be a pit for Japan, this time it hurts Japan the most, the United States has always claimed to protect his brother Japan, but he is not free, and the United States has the right to ask Japan to pay protection fees to them.
Therefore, the Japanese people are also complaining about the United States, they do this, who will feel very complaining, although, the cooperation between the United States and Japan is also a competition in this regard, but cooperation can not avoid competition, and the problems encountered by the two countries are also very complex, the Japanese state attaches great importance to the army, hope to spend a lot of money on equipment and army preparation, but has been obstructed and sanctioned by the United States, so the United States claimed 2 billion yuan to Japan this time, In addition to showing its national strength, it also wants to reduce Japan's state assets and prevent Japan from using the funds to build military power and cultivate new opponents for itself.
Obviously, this behavior of the United States is and the United States also wants to make Japan pay some protection money for itself, that is, the United States feels very reasonable no matter what it asks. Therefore, Japan actually has many complaints about the United States, not to mention that the United States and Japan actually have competition in cooperation, and the two countries have encountered very cumbersome and complicated problems. And japan is a country that attaches great importance to their military aspects, and they are willing to spend a lot of energy and material resources to support them in this regard, but even so, if they have been obstructed by the United States in every way, this sudden accident has confused the United States and Japan, and after the accident, both sides feel that they are not at fault at all.
Japan believes that it is very normal for merchant ships to sail, but American ships should not have appeared in this sea, and even if they did, they had undeserved collisions. The United States believed that the free navigation of warships was legal in the first place, and believed that Japan should compensate american soldiers for everything damaged. The two are also various things that have been in dispute, and neither side has refused to budge. The United States warships are free to sail at sea, arbitrarily change course, the challenged United States has carried out the industrial revolution, the gap between the strength of the two countries is very large, the United States military threat to Japan is to require Japan to accept cross-border trade, in the face of the threat of the United States, Japan had to agree to the Japan-US friendship treaty signed by the two sides, seeing the Signing of the Treaty between the United States and Japan, the Western countries began to act, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries have also signed treaties with Japan, Japan is divided by Western countries.
At that time, the Japanese people were dissatisfied with the government, and Japan itself slowly began to gain new political power. And I don't know why, the American soldiers stationed in Japan suddenly opened fire on Japanese civilians, which is a joke with their lives. At the same time, after these American soldiers were taken down by the Japanese police, they not only felt that they were not wrong, but instead clashed with the Japanese police, many police cars were blocked, which caused an uproar in Japan, many Japanese took to the streets, protested to the government, and strongly demanded that the government must protect the ordinary people, ensure their safety, and let the Us troops stationed in Japan must leave Japan immediately. The dissatisfaction of the Japanese people with the US military is not a matter of one day or two days, it is because the US military has done some infuriating things again and again, it is a matter of time and a matter of time, during the new crown epidemic, in order to be able to prevent the large-scale spread of the virus wantonly, the Japanese government immediately ordered that crowds cannot gather together, however, the US soldiers did not take seriously the Japanese government organized a meeting at the military base, resulting in the virus. In addition to the conflict between the people and the American soldiers, there are also differences between the Japanese government and the United States government, this epidemic has led to the economic depression of the United States, in order to alleviate the financial pressure of the government, the United States is directly to the Japanese lion, demanding that Japan must pay up to nearly $10 billion in military expenses to the United States, this money, is not a small amount. Although Japan's development can be so fast today, basically rely on the support of the United States, otherwise Japan will not rise so quickly, although the United States has strengthened its control over the Asian region with the help of Japan, but Japan has also benefited greatly from it, becoming one of the great powers in Asia, especially Japan's defense capability against China is very strong, with the increasing strength of China's maritime power, Japan can not fight with China, can only continue to seek the protection of the United States, therefore, Japan does not dare to oppose the United States in a short period of time.
