we know japan fought china in 1931 and again in 1937 many websites name the 1937 the second and that name matches the facts. at that time it did not involve the "world". soviets assisted china with supplies. in 1940 planes based on plane carriers small around 30 planes middle around 60 planes and large around 90 planes. on each plane carrier. planes from plane-carriers assisted the land forces so i do not understand the result that so little of china was controlled by japan in 1940 and 1941. and if china was so strong then use more planes before sending them east.
if i were a japanese general in 1940-1942 i would use bombers to bomb china airfields and hangars and factories and weapon storage and military stuff and advance the soldiers city by city with air support at least until the line of the 105 degree east longitude to connect to the troops on the nan river region and control the entire coast along the pacific ocean. i would move the men of north cities to south to build roads and other agriculture dig water irrigation and replace them with men from south to do same type of work. too busy and with no guns to rebel. all this before sending planes east to add a new adversary while failing in china regions.
i am surprised only in 1945 the japanese troops made a push to the moved capital city and... obviously then they lost. it was the last offensive of japanese in "china territory" ending around may 1945. japan had so few aircraft it stopped repairing the aircraft carries in fact the us did not sink all the japanese plane carriers but japan needed planes for land and stopped using the plane carriers in early 1945.
if i were a japanese general in december 1944 that is the time to end the war. i would surrender and order the troops to lay the weapons and go to prisoner exchange. the only major japanese actions in asia was the offensive mentioned and the defensive loss of the nan river region.
then the soviets violated the treaty in august 9 what would i do? soviets broke the treaty and outnumbered japanese aircraft. what would i do n that place? i would say i am outnumbered i surrender. some officers did that but the japanese culture is different they said we must defend but the issue of the emperors showa desire to end the war so some officers put down the weapons while others fough because it was defensive hmm. what would i do? the facts are outnumbered planes and troops put down the gun and uniform and hide. yet that is shameful in japanese culture i would not be a "decent" japanese would i.
well in the rest of asia the only offense was near the coast so the japanese knew they were weak if they would end the war in december 1944 based on the decision not to repair aircraft carriers it would be before soviets could move troops from germany. the navy knew it was done the airforce knew it was not enough to be effective even the land troops in xi river region were almost emtirely inactive... and in nan river region only defended and lost... if the offensive for the moved capital failed earlier it is time to end the war that is what i would do if i were a japanese genral in 1944 i would surrender to the allies because i know no aircraft. go to a pow camp if enough did that the war in china would have ended for japanese before yet the leadership ignored these obvious facts not enough planes.
after the first mushroom bomb japan proceeded to fly its jet plane instead of put down the gun they have different values and thinking methods then westerners. the samurai were happy to die for a cause. even when there was no equipment...
note i called the coast of china pacific coast which is true the pacific waters surround the rounded coast not 2 seas which idiot said i rule two seas? they are not separate seas and truly are ocean pacific sea next post.
finally in 1941 japan had around seven 7 aircraft carriers besides small ones they were all sent to hawaii and as above should have first assisted the china failures. also USA had around seven not counting small ones.
battleships have many guns yet we see they are failures even as planes come near to bomb them ineffective despite many guns.
so us and japan about balanced in number of aircraft carrier ships. the japanese had much more battleships but as above bs are barely effective and even ac are only useful if there are planes to use them by the end of 1944 japan only used planes on land and didnot even repair the carrier ships which for me is reason to put down the gun immediately in 1944. as soon as those decisions were made that is the time to end the war and put down the guns... and shed the uniform and proceed in orderly fashion to the prisoner exchange.
yet even after the second mushroom bomb the generals did not put down the guns.
the midnight after the second mushroom bombs soviets "revoked" the treaty with japan japan had strong defenses near amur river but soviets out numbered them. what would you in that place? the generals of japan surrendered after the soviets had landed troops in wnat we call north korean peninsula.
in hindsight japan could have focussed on chinese aircraft and gradualy spread but by 1944 they had enuf data to put down the guns yet the ideas of culture were different.
some complain the decision to use the mushroom bomb was bad because "the japanese would surrender anway" that is not understanding the japanese culture.
in fact even after they saw the power and knew it they did not put down the guns. and even after the second mushroom bomb they did not surrender until september 2 indicating that a third mushroom bomb although evil was needed even a third or fourth as august dragged into september.
