Remember the German warship that was hyped up by the Western media a few months ago, claiming to be crossing the South China Sea? The German ships, which have been gone for more than a month, have arrived in Japan and are now holding high-profile "joint exercises" with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in the Pacific.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the long-unseen German warship "Bavaria" is holding a two-day maritime exercise with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Japanese Minister Nobuo Kishi is expected to board a warship on November 5 to announce the strengthening of military cooperation between Japan and Germany. The main purpose of the exercise was to "improve the tactical skills of the Self-Defense Forces and strengthen cooperation with the German Navy". The Japanese sent the Self-Defense Forces destroyer May Rain. It is planned that on the way back after the exercise, the German ships will cross the South China Sea.
Logically speaking, since the beginning of this year, Japan has continuously held joint military exercises with other countries, which is not unusual in itself. But what is special is that this warship is the first German warship to arrive in Japan in nearly 20 years. At the same time, it also claimed that it would "pass through the South China Sea" on the return trip, which led to its great fame and made the German military passive for a while.
The German military's behavior is actually part of biden's action of gathering the "Eight-Power Alliance" to send warships to show muscle in the South China Sea and show the strength of the Western camp. But compared with Britain's all-out efforts and France's strict position, Germany clearly chose a compromise plan, Merkel did not want to go against the United States nor to anger China, so she chose to send only one warship to "mean", and has repeatedly extinguished the fire since then.
After the warship left Wilhelmshaven on August 2 for the Indo-Pacific region, Germany announced that the frigate would not pass within 12 nautical miles of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, trying to minimize the possibility of escalation of the conflict; Merkel also signaled to China that it wanted the warship to dock in Shanghai, and the nature of the warship's visit changed from "cruising" to "passing". However, the Chinese side still refused Germany's request, because even if Germany was expressing goodwill, its actions were still under the overall layout of the United States, and the motives were not pure, and it had to be prevented.
The Japanese-German military exercises were also part of its planned plan. After 20 years, two countries that have brought suffering to the world have met again, and people have to feel disgusted, and Japan and Germany have become closer and closer in recent years.
The two countries held "2+2" talks early this year and signed the "Agreement on The Protection of Information." Japan has since launched plans to sell P1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft to Germany, and throughout the year, the two countries have interacted frequently, opening up new avenues for future intelligence exchanges and arms exports between the two countries.
Japan and Germany belong to the old capitalist countries, Japan's economic scale is the third in the world, Germany's fourth, it can be said that the economic strength can not be underestimated, and the common point of the two countries is a solid industrial foundation, advanced scientific and technological level. It can be said that it is the little brother of the United States, and it can also be said that it is the "prisoner of the order" of the United States, who has been clamped down to death by the United States in terms of military and scientific and technological aspects.
At the height of U.S. power, the two countries naturally did not dare to make a mistake, but now the Chaos in the United States has intensified and its external response is weak. Biden has continued Trump's U.S.-first policy, and the younger brothers are also ready to go it alone. It is difficult to say whether the United States will loosen its grip on Japan and Germany under such circumstances. If the United States relaxes its repression, it is pandering to Japan's desire to break through the pacifist constitution and achieve normalization, as well as the undercurrent of Germany's break through the shackles.
The United States wants Germany and Japan as large leek fields, while Japan and Germany also want to use the United States as guns. Especially with the rise of right-wing forces in Japan and Germany, the calls for danger are growing stronger. Although Japan and Germany are no longer as combat effective as they were, the thousand-footed worm is dead but not stiff, and as the two countries get closer and closer, it will inevitably cause hidden dangers to the regional situation, and the whole world should be highly vigilant to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy.
Now that Japan's new prime minister has come to power, Merkel has also bid farewell to politics, and the new Leadership team in Germany will also have certain policy changes. However Chinese has never been afraid of threats, and we resolutely oppose German warships crossing the South China Sea, while Germany and Japan collude to endanger the world, and the people of the world will not agree.
