Will the Germans disrupt the situation in the region?

On the 28th of this month, Germany will conduct joint training with the Japanese Air Self -Defense Force in Japan for the first time. In November 2021, the German frigates "Bavaria" stopped at the port of Tokyo, Japan. Does the military interaction between Germany and Japan mean that Germany will exist in the normalization of the Asia -Pacific? Will it further disturb the security situation in the Asia -Pacific region? Some experts told a reporter from the Global Times on the 21st that Germany's measures to show military existence in the Asia -Pacific region are different from the United States, and their influence on the Asia -Pacific region is still limited.

Japan ’s NHK website reported on the 20th that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force announced that the German Air Force’ s three fighters will fly to the Baili Base in Ibaraki Prefecture on the 28th to conduct joint training with the three F-2 fighters in the Japanese side. This will be the first time that the Japanese Aviation Self -Defense Force and the German Air Force have conducted joint training in Japan.

Germany's expansion of military activities in the Asia -Pacific region became a topic in 2021. On November 5, 2021, the German navy frigates "Bavaria" stopped at the port of Tokyo, Japan. This is the German ship stopped again after nearly 20 years.

Japan invited Germany to hold a joint exercise in China to hold a joint exercise very clear. The 2022 version of the "Defense White Paper" mentioned in Japan mentioned: "Including allies and the United States, and European countries such as Germany ... Countries. For these countries, while my country promotes them to participate in the Indo -Pacific regional affairs more, it is a partner in the area to cooperate with them to carry out defense cooperation and exchanges in order to implement more effective cooperation than my country's separate actions. "

Military expert Song Zhongping told the Global Times reporter on the 21st that Japan's actions are worthy of vigilance. Need to draw NATO countries to fight against China together. "

Before going to Japan, Germany sent 13 military planes in August to participate in the "dark operations" exercises in Australia. Reuters said that this was the largest deployment of the German Air Force's peaceful age, highlighting that Germany was more concerned about the Indo -Pacific region.

Talking about Germany to break the troops to the Asia -Pacific region in Germany, military expert Zhang Xuefeng told reporters of the Global Times on the 21st that Germany and Japan were members of the axis and defeats during World War II. Let people associate. Both countries are significantly increased military expenses and both want to play a greater influence on the world stage. In particular, Germany first arrived in Australia, and then to Japan, and planned to go to South Korea, obviously intended to increase its intervention in the Asia -Pacific region. Zhang Xuefeng said: "It is not ruled out that Germany will normalize this joint training in the future. However, Germany's influence on Asia -Pacific is still limited. Previously, when Germany participated in the" Dark Action "exercise, due to the long flight time, some fighter pilots even even It is wearing urine without wetness. Such the German Air Force can only send a signal that has more than enough and insufficient power. "

Song Zhongping believes that the existence of Germany to the Asia -Pacific region is behind the United States and NATO. In fact, Germany sent several warships and planes a year instead of normalization of troops in the Asia -Pacific deployment. It is different from the United States' normalization of military existence in China. The huge market in Asia, especially the Chinese market, is related to its vital interests. ▲
