Two thousand five hundred and ninety-six chapters delay and block
Takeshi Sato knew very well that if this situation continues, China will truly rise in a few years. Not to mention that Japan is realizing the dream of co-prosperity between Greater East Asia, even the survival of the nation will be a huge problem.
Japan is a country with scarce resources and frequent earthquakes. The narrow and long land is crowded with more than 100 million people, and there is no strategic depth. Once China becomes strong, who can guarantee that they will not avenge Japan? You must know that the war of aggression against China by Japan has caused the humiliation that the Chinese nation has suffered. Until now, they have not forgotten that this kind of feud has not faded over time, but has become more and more intense.
The only way now is to delay the rise of China, and it is best to make China unable to rise forever. Japan is using this time to speed up its development. Only in this way may China dare not seek revenge from Japan. But now the problem has emerged again, and even the United States cannot stop the pace of China's rise, let alone Japan, an island country?
Sato Ken is in a dilemma and does not stop the rise of China, which means that Japan will be seeking revenge from China in the near future, and 100 million citizens will always surrender to China's feet. Sato Ken is now a little resentful of his ex-politicians. It is those short-sighted people that have caused the current situation. If he could take the initiative to repair with China and agree to China's suggestion to shelve the dispute and open the Diaoyu Islands together, the current situation would be far from this.
Although there are rich mineral resources under the Diaoyu Islands, no one dared to open this place easily, after the two countries were fighting over and over again. If Japan and China had actively jointly opened the underground resources here, the relationship between the two countries would not have been so tense, and Japan could use this to confuse China and secretly accumulate strength. I believe that the trinity nuclear strike force would have been secretly developed.
As long as it has this kind of power, Japan can completely fight a conventional war with China with its advanced weapons and equipment. By that time, Japan's iron hooves will once again set foot on the Northeast of China. With such a large piece of rich land, Japan can engage in a long-term confrontation with China.
As a Japanese figure who came from a military family, Sato Ken admired his grandfather very much. If the Japanese military headquarters could obey his grandfather's opinions back then, Japan would not have been defeated. Japan would have long been a world power.
It was the short-sighted bastards in the Japanese military that had obtained the three northeastern provinces of China, and they wanted to invade all the land of China, and they overestimated their abilities to initiate a war with the United States.
If Japan could remain calm after obtaining the three northeastern provinces at that time, and leverage the rich mineral resources of the three northeastern provinces, after decades of development, what would it be difficult for it to become a world-renowned power?
"Oh!" Sato Ken sighed secretly. What has passed is now over, and no matter how much regret it, it is useless. If a country's leader does not have a long-term vision, he will drag the entire country to a state of no return. Sato Ken believes that Japan has now reached the most dangerous situation.
Sato Takeshi turned his resentment to the United States again. If Baumann did not take the initiative to wield economic sanctions and provoke a fight with China, the current dilemma would not have occurred, and he would not have actively asked to visit China.
To be honest, Takeru Sato is still a politician with a very strategic vision, and he also knows that the United States and China are completely at a disadvantage in this struggle, which can be proved by the phone call between the successor of US President Orpheggs and him last month.
If the US economy wants to get out of the predicament, it must obtain the understanding and support of China. Judging from China's current tough attitude, it is necessary to make concessions in the United States, and this concession is very likely to make the United States withdraw its troops in Asia. In this way, China has become the leader of Asia. Without the support of the United States, which other countries dare to challenge China?
Thinking of this, Sato Takeshi once again secretly admired the leaders of China and felt the terribleness of the Chinese nation. After decades of hiding their strength and maintaining a low profile, even after suffering from the humiliation of the United States, he insisted on developing the economy unwaveringly. Not only that, China's political affairs also strived to develop military technology. God knows when they will come up with such advanced weapons!
In the naval battle in the South China Sea, the Philippine Navy was wiped out half before it could see the shadow of the Chinese Navy. If that naval battle was because the Philippine naval ships were too backward and could not show the strength of the Chinese Navy, then the air battle born over the Diaoyu Islands was enough to show how far China's military equipment had been developed.
Although Japan took the initiative to provoke that air battle and made all preparations in advance, it also did not withstand the attack of China. Five advanced F15 fighter jets provided by the United States were beaten to the sky. What was even more depressing was that a warning aircraft, also known as the world's most advanced early warning aircraft provided by the United States, was also shot down by others. It can be seen that China's military and technological level is no longer inferior to that of the United States.
The United States then announced the dispatch of two aircraft carrier battle groups to the South China Sea and announced the defense of the Philippine islands in accordance with the US-Philippines Security Treaty, which once again ignited hope. They believed that China would bow its head obediently in the face of the powerful US military force. Not to mention that it would give up its sovereignty over the South China Sea, I am afraid that even in the East China Sea would not dare to have disputes with Japan again.
What surprised everyone was that China held a high-profile large-scale aircraft carrier exercise. It only used eleven missiles to sink a simulated aircraft carrier battle group, which scared the US aircraft carrier and turned around and ran to the Persian Gulf. Since then, all US military ships have never dared to enter the South China Sea again. Although the US political announcement later that the situation in the Persian Gulf had changed and changing the course of aircraft carriers was a need for counter-terrorism, everyone knew that the United States was slapping and pretending to be fat, and was afraid of China's missiles from the bottom of its heart, and found a way for itself.
"Are we helpless by letting China become stronger? Let our 100 million citizens submit to the feet of the Chinese people?" Sato Ken asked and answered: "No! You must not do this! If this happens, we are the sinners of the Yamato nation."
Minister of Defense Maruyama Miku said: "Although China has made great progress in military equipment after decades of development, don't forget that Japan has the second largest navy in the world and the number one in Asia. The F22 fighter production line we purchased from the United States is about to be put into production. With our strong naval power and air force, we are still sure of victory. First eliminate their naval power and air force, and then dispatch the army to capture the three eastern provinces, and then cede land to seek peace in China. In this way, we have a strategic depth zone that can protect our local security. You must be happy to see what we are doing."
Foreign Minister Taichi Nakayama said: "Maroyama, it is already a thing of the past that you say that Japan has the largest navy in Asia. Not long ago, China just launched two new aircraft carriers, and the comparison of naval power between the two countries has undergone fundamental changes. Although we also have two quasi-aircraft carriers, their combat capabilities are still worse than those of real aircraft carriers. In addition, China has the Dongfeng series missiles that can strike surface ships. I am afraid that our naval ships will be sunk by others before they can be deployed."
Maruyama said with a tumbling tongue: "Is Zhongshan Jun trying to destroy our ambitions with the enemy's might? Our fleet has strong air defense power and is stronger than the United States in electronic warfare capabilities. China's missiles may be useful to the United States, but they may not be able to play a role in front of our ten-thousand fleets. Besides, the f22 fighter jets have powerful air interception capabilities, and with its protection our fleet can be safe and sound. As long as they avoid the opponent's first strike, I believe that China's ships that are pieced together may not be able to withstand our strikes."
