The news was soon known within the Japanese base camp, and they wondered why the Americans made such a decision? Although they regarded the Americans as the ultimate imaginary enemy, they did not think of attacking the Americans so quickly. The warships cruised in Southeast Asia, and they just wanted to show their presence in the past. They did not think of attacking the Philippines. They did not expect that it was because of their presence that the Americans did such a move, not only stuck them in the import channels, but also prepared to assist China.

After World War I, the whole world was carried out with the Versailles Washington system. It can be said that under this system, the Americans achieved the same world hegemony as the British, which made the Japanese feel uncomfortable. In the treaty provisions, the navy of their countries was strictly limited by the naval tonnage. If no restrictions were made, the naval military would compete wildly, which was extremely unfavorable to the economic development of various countries.

Originally, if nothing else had happened, the system could be implemented intact, and the conflicts between various countries would not be so serious. However, in 1929, an economic crisis broke out across the entire capitalist world, and Japan suffered even more severe trauma because Japan had no other resources, its industrial strength was relatively weak, and there was no larger market. Compared with Americans, their ability to resist risks was too weak.

It was from that time that the Japanese were seeking to withdraw from the Versailles Washington system and wanted to resolve domestic conflicts by relying on the war of external expansion. At the beginning, he did receive unexpected results. In 1931, the Japanese invaded the Northeast of China. The results of this made the whole of Japan crazy, and some domestic conflicts were also covered up, which made the Japanese taste the sweetness. All the Japanese ministers felt that external expansion was the most important way to resolve domestic conflicts. In the past, many people within the government did not agree with it, but when they occupied the Northeast, everyone was moved.

It was at that time that the honeymoon period between the Japanese and Americans ended. It turned out that the Americans needed to use the Japanese to fight against the British and compete for hegemony in Asia. The Americans stood behind the Japanese and instructed the Japanese to deal with other powerful powers. At that time, the two sides cooperated very happily until the Japanese showed their fangs and began a large-scale aggression in China, especially the war in the Yangtze River Delta, which seriously affected the interests of the Americans.

It was from that time that the conflict between the Japanese and Americans was put on the table. First, the Japanese did not renew the Washington Convention after the expiration. In other words, without the constraints of this treaty, the Japanese could expand their navy greatly. In the next few years, the Japanese expanded their navy by 50%, which made the Americans feel dangerous.

Next, the Japanese launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, making the Japanese feel that their existence is the most powerful country in Asia. However, your move also made Americans and other countries dissatisfied, because you want to monopolize China, which is not in line with the US foreign policy. For the United States, it does not want to occupy the territory of other countries. It just wants to treat this country as their raw material origin and product distribution place. Your Japanese practice violates the decision of our Americans to free trade, so the collision between the two sides has long been inevitable. The trade collision between Japan and the United States has also begun to show that there have been many frictions between American goods and Japanese goods.

Although the Japanese and Americans have encountered many collisions internationally, the Japanese never believe that they will break up with the Americans because in their hearts, there is also a sense of fear. Many Japanese military coaches have studied in the United States. They have a very good understanding of the huge productivity of the United States, so they will not turn against the Americans until they have no choice. But this time it is at risk? Are the Americans already united with China? All of this is unknown.

The move Americans are best at doing is to give their supporters some money and weapons. Now the general in China is already very powerful. He has defeated our imperial army of hundreds of thousands. If he gains support from the Americans, he will definitely be more powerful. He must get the content of this negotiation. This is a key point of Japan's intelligence work.

All decisions made by the Japanese Base Camp must be made with intelligence as a reference. The Japanese Intelligence Department has won several consecutive defeats, which made the base camp very disappointed. Now the Japanese Intelligence Department Minister is the third in the past six months. The intelligence department officials will not be mobilized in a short period of time. The Japanese Base Camp also knows it, but apart from this, they do not know what to do with other methods to reverse the current disadvantage of intelligence work.

At the imperial meeting, no one quarreled about the plan to advance north or south. Because of the destruction of the Soviet Far East Military Region, no one is saying that they will advance north now, because there is already the world of local governments who check numbers there. It is too difficult to get a piece of sky there. It is better to consider going to the south!

In the original society, the supporter of the North Advance Plan was the Japanese Army. Because in the war with the Soviet Union, they played a supporting role as the protagonist of the Navy, but the South Advance Plan played a leading role as the Army, and the Army was a supporting role, and there was not only the competition for Japan's national policy, but also the competition between the two branches of the army.

The focus of the debate in Japan's base camp is whether to plan to advance south. The navy's view is that since there has not been a victory in China, the Central China Expeditionary Force and North China Expeditionary Force should be withdrawn. In this way, we should preserve our strength and prepare to go south in one fell swoop in the future. This is what Japan should do. Of course, we must not give up the Northeast region and the Northeast region will suffer too much damage to Japan. Therefore, the Navy finally gave a suggestion, either withdraw the Central China Expeditionary Force and North China Expeditionary Force back to Japan, implement reorganization, and form the Japanese Southern Army, or withdraw all these two armies to the Northeast, and work with the Kwantung Army to focus on defending the Northeast.
