Japan attacked Pearl Harbor (go, go! ! ! ! )
Japan's development of Southeast Asia since 194 1 has made the major powers in this region fidgety. In the past ten years, these countries have at most been dissatisfied with Japan's foreign expansion and submitted written diplomatic protests. In1941July, the colonial governments of the United States, Britain and the Netherlands announced that they would ban the transportation of strategic resources, especially steel and oil, to Japan. This step is a threat to Japan's economy and military, and its purpose is to force Japan to limit its activities in Southeast Asia and return to the negotiating table. Roosevelt ordered the fleet to be stationed at Pearl Harbor (because it is much closer to the Japanese coast than the western United States, it is a direct threat to Japan). Roosevelt thought that this decision was so important that when General Richardson proposed it to him, Richardson would lose power from now on. But the responsibility of the United States and other countries seems to only strengthen the decision of the Japanese military to seize and use this area. Japan's oil production is very small, but its refining reserves are even less, so the embargo on Japan is a very serious problem. The Japanese government decided to impose an embargo on the resources occupying Southeast Asia. They can't assume that if they start to take action, the US Congress will stand by and watch. That's why Isoroku Yamamoto is considering eliminating American power in the Pacific.
Isoroku Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, attacked the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, which is a tactical step to achieve this strategic goal. Japanese data show that Shan Benyu began to consider attacking Pearl Harbor at the beginning of 194 1. A few months later, after doing some preliminary checks, he was authorized to start preparing for this action. There is a strong opposition to such actions within the Japanese navy. Yamamoto threatened to retire if the motion was stopped. 194 1 in the summer of, this action was officially approved at the imperial conference attended by the Japanese emperor himself. 1 1 month, at the imperial meeting attended by another Japanese emperor himself, the decision to send troops to the Pacific Ocean was approved. At the meeting of 1 1 month, it was also decided that the motion would be abandoned only if the United States fully agreed with Japan's overwhelming demand.
The goal of attacking Pearl Harbor is to (at least temporarily) eliminate the main force of the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean. Pearl harbor plan: a successful attack can bring a strategic advantage for about a year. Japan and China entered the war from 193 1, before which Japan seized the Manchu Dynasty. Japan's plan to attack Pearl Harbor from 1 month 194 1 has strategic advantages. After some discussions and disputes within the navy, the Japanese navy began to conduct the most rigorous training for this operation in.
Part of Japan's plan is (and must be) to stop negotiations with the United States before the attack. Up to1February 7, Japan continued to have very extensive discussions among its ambassador in Washington and diplomats from the US Foreign Ministry, including the US response to Japan's invasion of Southeast Asia in the summer. Before the attack, the Japanese ambassador got a long telegram from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and submitted it (Washington time) to Secretary of State Codel Hull at the time of the attack. But the ambassador's staff failed to decipher and print this long credential in time. In the end, this declaration of war made us succumb after being attacked. This detention increased our anger at the attack, which is the main reason why President Roosevelt called this day "No Shame Day". General Yamamoto seems to agree with this view. Which movie in Japan and the United States is integrated "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "Center He was quoted as saying," Maybe we awakened a sleeping giant, and now he is full of anger. " The speaker of the notebook may never have said it, even so, he does feel it himself.
In fact, this certificate submitted to us in Japan has been deciphered by us. George marshall immediately sent an urgent warning to Hawaii after reading the credentials, but due to the confusion of sensors in the US military, the telegram had to be forwarded through the civil telecommunications bureau. It became a sign of urgency on the road. A few hours after the attack, the Japanese-American postman delivered the telegram to the US military headquarters.
