One of the most classic battles of World War II was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States existed as an intermediary in the early days of World War II, and neither side participated, watching these countries fight each other, watching the hilarity themselves, and then exporting all kinds of weapons, and making a lot of war money by the way.
Taking advantage of the REST time of the US military, japan launched two consecutive bombings on Pearl Harbor, which caught the US military by surprise. After this war, the US military naturally suffered heavy losses, and Japan won a temporary victory. Because soon Japan will be retaliated against by the US military. But they didn't realize the danger, only one person felt it.
For the victory of this battle, the Japanese army could not help but celebrate. They gathered together to celebrate their victory, eat good wine and good food, and they were not happy. But just when everyone's faces were smiling with joy, there was a man with a sad face, and this person was the planner of this battle, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. After Japan successfully attacked the United States, he thought about Japan's future fate, and he felt that the United States would not give up, Japan would usher in a fierce retaliation, and this battle was not a victory, but a defeat.
In fact, Yamamoto did not think that attacking the United States would allow Japan to gain the greatest benefit, but only because the Army finally made things bigger in order to gain benefits, so Japan finally decided to attack the Pearl Harbor base of the United States. The United States and Japan already had contradictions, and after some of the Army's actions, they hurt the interests of the United States and aggravated the contradictions, and it was only a matter of time before the United States dealt with Japan. Sure enough, the United States blocked Japan's resource transportation routes, leaving Japan in a dilemma of lack of resources.
Later, Japan wanted to take advantage of its inferior situation to solve the problem through diplomatic means, but how could the United States let them easily get their wishes, so it put forward conditions, but these conditions were also impossible for Japan to agree to, so the two countries could only solve the problem through war in the end. Many of Japan's top brass agreed to launch an offensive against the United States, and Isoroku Yamamoto, who had experience in the United States, knew very well the strength of the U.S. military and how terrible the U.S. military was a weapon of war.
But he couldn't change the decision of these people, so the Japanese immediately sent bombers to attack the Americans on Pearl Harbor. For this battle, Yamamoto Isoroku was not optimistic, and he also felt that Japan was really not good in the subsequent war, he once told the people around him that the situation was still good at the beginning, but when it came to the back, it would be uncertain, and he said that he had no confidence at all. That is to say, Japan cannot compete with the US military for a long time, and can only quickly solve the biggest obstacle of the current US military to Japan, so it has adopted the method of attacking the Pacific Fleet.
Of course, Japan succeeded, but Yamamoto knew exactly what Japan was going to face, and as long as the United States went to war against Japan, Japan's chances of victory would be greatly reduced, and there would be no advantage to speak of. Later, the US military did declare war on Japan, causing Japan to suffer a devastating blow and hastening the demise of Japanese fascism.
