A "training" only put 4 guns, and the US -Japan performance began

According to Japanese media reports on the 28th, the Japanese Self -Defense Force and the US Army launched a joint military exercise in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. In this exercise with "outlying island defense", about 1,400 Japanese Self -Defense Force and about 700 US Army participated in the military exercise. Military exercises held in Kyushu will last until September 3.

Following the US Marine Corps, during the exercise of the US Army on the 28th, the first time in Japan used the "javelin" anti -tank missiles in Japan for real bombs.

Japanese media reported that "the onland Self -Defense Force considers the frequent military activities in mainland China in the East China Sea and Taiwan.

However, Chang'an Street Knowledge (WeChat ID: CapitalNews) found that behind this seemingly aggressive exercise, more Japanese and American cooperation with "acting". But Japan's recent densely dense movements are still worthy of vigilance.

On the one hand, Japan cooperates with the American pace and hype "Chinese threat".

The exercise of the US Army launched a "javelin" real shot.

How big is such a "breakthrough" military exercise? During the shooting training on the 28th, the Japanese Self -Defense Force and the U.S. Army fired only two missiles each, and fired to the "tank" target about 400 meters away and about 2 kilometers away.

The scale is very small, but the adjustment of the Japanese military is very high. Japanese media reports that in the conflict of Russia and Ukraine, the "javelin" is a representative weapon provided by the United States as a military assistance and has achieved a lot of results. Demonstrating ground battles also have advantages to contain. "

Chang'an Street Knowledge (WeChat ID: CapitalNews) noticed that this expression that deliberately associated the Russian and Ukraine conflict with Taiwan issues in the report of Japanese media such as Kyodo News Agency and production, and the source is exactly the land on the land of Japan. The Self -Defense Force, speculation means quite strong.

In addition, there is a very "coincidence" background in Japan and the United States -just the day when the performance was started, the US "Antatan" and "Chassolosville" cruisers were high -profile to sail the Taiwan Strait.

The US Navy ’s operation was originally used to show its existence in the Taiwan Strait. A spokesman for the Eastern theater Shi Yi said that the PLA's Eastern theater of the PLA followed the supervisor’ s supervisor throughout the entire process, and everything was in control.

The rendering and hype of the U.S. military are also quite high -profile. As soon as the US ship entered the Taiwan Strait, the three US officials sources to Reuters, followed by the U.S. Seventh Fleet issued a formal statement, claiming that the above two cruisers were crossing the Taiwan Strait. On the way, the US naval carrier-based aircraft conducted multiple take-off and landing and opened the ADS-B signal. For a while, it attracted the high attention of the media, observers and the public.

Similar routines, consistent pace. Put on flights and military exercises to stand on the stage, hype, singing.

Since Pelosi has triggered the strategic progress of the PLA on the surrounding Taiwan Island, the United States has continued to speculate on the "Chinese threat" and stirred the area of ​​the region; while Japan has frequently speculated, cooperating with the allies to soar the drama.

On the other hand, Japan ran wild on the road of military expansion, and its recent movements were very dense.

On the 21st, "Yomiuri News" reported that the Japanese government was considering installing more than 1,000 long -range cruise missiles, claiming to consider "Taiwan's events" and filled the "missile gap" with China.

On the 23rd, the Japanese current Affairs News Agency reported that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan will be independent of the representative department of the NATO, which is currently also held by the Japanese Embassy in Belgium, and set up a full -time ambassador to NATO.

On the same day, the Georgian Ministry of Defense announced the country that will participate in the country's "noble partner 2022" military exercise held in the country this year. Japan will participate in this exercise for the first time.

On the 25th, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Gongming Party held the party conferences and passed the 2023 defense provincial budget budget content. At present, the budget amount is 5594.7 billion yen, which is a record high.

On the 26th, the NHK reported that the Japanese government will set up a new "Conspiracy Conference" consisting of diplomacy, defense, and economic security experts. Ping the road.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese and American military played on the 28th.

In fact, Japan's claimed "outlying island defense" military exercise attributes are quietly evolving. In December last year, Japan and the United States held the exercise with "outlying islands" as the idea. At that exercise, the Self -Defense Force usually changed the tradition of the island -winning combat subjects such as amphibious landing, and shifted the exercise to remote delivery and shore -based anti -ships.

With the guise of building an expedition to the base with the US military, trying to evolve the defense attributes of "outlying island defense" into an offensive strategy against the sea. Become a springboard.

Japan now proposes that within 5 years, "thoroughly strengthening the defense" and improving the military expenditure budget has become a set. After the revision of the three major national defense documents such as the National Security Protection Strategy, it is believed that Japan's actions in improving military strength will only be more extraordinary.

In fact, the Japanese government's motion in military has caused dissatisfaction among domestic people in Japan.Take the Japanese and American military performances, Japan -US "Electronic War Force" will hold the first joint exercise, saying that "aims to show China cooperation with Japan and the United States."

However, the local people are worried that if Japan and the United States further integrated, the local self -defense facilities may become the target of blows when the conflict occurs, resulting in residents' implication.Kagoshima Prefecture has launched a protest assembly against military exercises in many places, calling on "military cannot create peace."

Chang'an Street Knowledge (WeChat ID: CapitalNews) previously reported that the latest polls from Japan's Daily News and Social Research Center showed that the support rate of Kishida Cabinet was only 36%, which was the lowest level since the Kishida Cabinet took office last October;The non -support rate is as high as 54%.

To what extent can the Japanese government continue to represent Japanese public opinion on military expansion?
