Text 564 Japan follows up

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Japan, which has long pursued a peace policy, was as harmless to humans and animals as a little white rabbit after the war. It had never fought any wars. Even Japan, which played a flag-waving role, would not send combat troops and would only provide some logistical support to the Allies.  However, the Japanese have a combative complex in their nature. The narrow and densely populated living environment with scarce resources gives them a strong sense of crisis, which makes it possible for Japan to expand outward once it has the capabilities.

    In the environment of this plane, Japan's sense of crisis has become even stronger. Due to the rapid rise of China, it not only poses a challenge to the United States around the world, but also puts strong pressure on Japan in East Asia.  The industry that Japan worked hard to build after World War II had an advantage over the United States and European countries in the 1970s and 1980s, which forced the Americans to come up with things like the Plaza Agreement in the hope of restoring the balance of trade.

    However, the rise of Chinese industry in this dimension, especially in many industries that overlap with Japan's core and competitive industries, has had a huge impact on the Japanese economy.  Take the U.S. family car market as an example. It took Chinese car companies a few years to go from selling no one to hundreds of thousands or millions of sales per year. However, the demand in the U.S. family car market is limited.  If Chinese cars are sold, Japanese cars will naturally not be sold.  Japanese cars represented by Toyota and Honda have experienced a plunge in sales in markets such as the United States, resulting in a sharp decline in profits.  Even Japan's domestic market is facing the impact of Chinese cars, leaving the Japanese scratching their heads anxiously.

    This is only a manifestation of the economic aspect. China's influence on Japan after becoming strong is far more than this.  The most direct and unavoidable issue is the feud between China and Japan in modern times. When China made slight progress on its path to a modern country and rejuvenation twice, Japan dealt a fatal blow to China, especially in the  During the Anti-Japanese War, the war raged across half of China, killing tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, and causing immeasurable economic losses.

    There have been several inhumane and inhumane massacres and tragedies, which have made the Chinese people¡¯s hatred of the Japanese unforgettable.  Japan has a typical perpetrator's mentality of worrying about retaliation. Even though China and Japan have established diplomatic relations and have said that they will turn the page and develop Sino-Japanese friendly relations, the Japanese are not so at ease. They always feel that China may one day become what it used to be.  The suffering that Japan inflicted on China was fully returned to Japan, even tenfold.

    "When China did not yet have this national and military strength, the Japanese could relax a little. After all, the East China Sea was relatively safe.  But when China's national defense and military capabilities advanced by leaps and bounds, the Japanese simply couldn't calm down.  They began to use various methods to try to restore the so-called "strategic balance of power," just like Shinzo Abe's logic in another dimension - only when Japan is stronger than China can East Asia be peaceful.

    China's military strength in this dimension is enough. Japan looks up to it. Japan understands that only by engaging in an arms race with all its strength can it keep up with the pace of China's arms development. China can engage in equipment development in this way. If Japan follows suit, then  will be subject to severe military pressure.

    ¡°Similar to the other side, the main way Japan uses to balance China¡¯s force is to continuously strengthen military cooperation with the United States. The United States is also happy to make Japan rely more on itself, which is also a greater bargaining chip for the United States against Japan.

    Now after the establishment of the Korean Federation and the announcement of an amazing military reorganization plan, Japan is even more difficult to sit still. Soon, Japan also announced a medium- and long-term arms development and force building plan, claiming to be a development commensurate with Japan's international status.  China's national defense capabilities, taking precautions against any possible invasion of Japan, and more actively playing a positive role in regional and global security.

    Similar to the Korean Federation, Japan's arms development plan also emphasizes independence and self-production capabilities. It acquires advanced technology from the United States and Europe and other countries, and combines it with its already relatively strong equipment research capabilities to create domestically produced high-end weapons to cope with the situation.  possible conflicts.

    In Japan¡¯s arms development plan, in addition to the IDER variant of the E-2 fighter jet, almost every department of the Self-Defense Forces has some relatively specific plans.  For example, the Type 90 main battle tank developed by Japan only used it for a few years, but it felt that there was a certain gap between it and the world's first-tier main battle tanks such as VT-2M and Leopard 2. Moreover, Japan's Zhouqiao transportation system has poor load-bearing capacity.  As well as the relatively fragmented terrain with crisscrossed rivers, Japan hopes to develop a successor model of the Type 90 tank so that it can better adapt to Japan's domestic combat situation.

    Because the infantry fighting vehicles developed by China have achieved brilliant results on various battlefields, and their excellent performance and huge role are also valued by countries around the world, many countries, including Japan, are developing their own infantry fighting vehicles.  On the one hand, it wants to enhance the strength of its own army, and on the other hand, it also wants to profit from the Chinese market.  Japan refers to the world's outstanding infantry fighting vehicles such as China's VN-1 and Switzerland's Piranha armored vehicle, and is developing the Type 93 infantry fighting vehicle family.

    At the same time, the Japanese were very advanced and applied the concept of the Type 13 mobile tank (actually more similar to an assault gun) to the Type 93 infantry.A 10bmmR spoon anti-tank gun is arranged on the body. Its main function is to provide direct fire support and attack enemy tanks.

    China has the largest tank force in the world. Japan says it is impossible without pressure. Therefore, the Japanese have put a lot of effort into the subject of anti-tank.

    At the same time, Japan also started the development of its own anti-submarine aircraft P-1 more than ten years in advance. The purpose is self-evident. China's submarine force treats the East China Sea and other sea areas as its own swimming pool, coming and going freely, and constantly passing through without any sound.  The Ryukyu island chain and even some important straits near Japan make Japan quite nervous.  The planning and construction of enhanced anti-submarine capabilities will greatly weaken China's submarine threat.

    Japan has also placed high hopes on the Kong-class Aegis destroyer, which started construction in 1990, hoping to integrate stronger sea-based anti-missile capabilities to deal with missile attacks from China and North Korea.  Japan originally planned to purchase a Kongang class ship, but now Japan is determined to add two more ships, and quickly shorten the construction period, speed up the construction process, and strive to join the PLA Navy's fleet as soon as possible to enhance its strength.  Its first ship, the Kongo, has officially entered service, and some Japanese military commentators even called it the most powerful destroyer in Asia.

    This statement was naturally scoffed by many Chinese military fans. Although the 0520 Aegis destroyer has a displacement of about 800 tons, a lot of light Konggang class, and only 64 vertical launch units, its more advanced information-based combat system has doubled its power.  weapon, not to mention that the 0520 has a stealth design, while the King Kong class is inferior in this aspect.  Furthermore, if there is a true ship-to-ship duel, even if it carries many missiles, it may not necessarily have strong combat power.  The number of targets that the King Kong class can guide at the same time is not as many as that of the 0520.

    The development of the Maritime Self-Defense Force has also obviously shifted from defensive to more offensive. The characteristic is that the Sea of ??Japan has built a number of large ships for amphibious operations since the beginning. The more typical ones are the Osumi-class dock landing ships and the Hyuga-class helicopter carriers (amphibious assault).  ship) to build its own landing combat capabilities and enhance Japan¡¯s defense of outlying islands.

    At this time, the issue of the Diaoyu Islands has not yet become heated. The Japanese hope to build more amphibious warships on the one hand to enhance mutual support between the archipelago territories, and on the other hand they also hope to gain a certain ability to recapture the Ryukyu Islands after they are captured.

    It is worth mentioning that the tonnage of the Hyuga-class amphibious assault ship has been enlarged a lot, which also reflects the greater ambition of the Japanese.  Its full load displacement has increased to 27,500 tons, and its subsequent development model, the Izumo-class, is almost the same size. However, the specific design is still relatively similar to the Hyuga-class, such as the annoying elevator set on the through runway.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, and the Korean Federal Army is also carried out in a clear order, with clear priorities, and they are all formulated based on the specific conditions of their own country, and are more suitable for the situation of their own military.  Although the Japanese Self-Defense Forces cannot easily change their positions and truly expand their military scale, they can play more tricks on the quality of their equipment.

    ¡°North Korea and Japan have successively begun to plan their own arms upgrades and military reforms on a large scale. Coupled with China¡¯s never-give-up action to enhance its national defense strength, the arms race in East Asia has become increasingly clear.  North Korea is manufacturing equipment compared to Japan, Japan is manufacturing equipment compared to China, and China initially compared itself to the United States, but now it is becoming more and more step-by-step, and is doing these things according to its own ideas and rhythm.

    I believe it will not take long for the military strength of any country in Northeast Asia, including North Korea, Japan and the Far East, to be considered first-rate in Europe, let alone China's size and strength, which is almost equal to that of Europe.  sum.  The military confrontation in Northeast Asia has also gradually surfaced. As the contradiction between China and the United States deepens, it will inevitably become clearer.

    However, among these four countries, China, the Far East and North Korea are in the same trench, while Japan appears relatively lonely, with only the United States outside the region to rely on.  Therefore, Japan pays great attention to attracting a wider range of allies to support itself.  For example, Australia in Oceania and India in the South Asian subcontinent are targets that Japan needs to win over. With the support of these countries, Japan will have more courage to compete with China.

    It's just that when the Japanese government's eyes are nervously focused on China and the Korean Federation, they have ignored that a quite terrifying force in their own country is growing and growing, and this force that has not been effectively contained will eventually make Japan  The government pays the price for its carelessness, and I am afraid this price will also be painful.
