The Aum Shinrikyo cult disaster in Japan and the Ebola crisis, which lasted for a year, finally came to an end in the summer of '94 when China provided Japan with vaccines to save the Ebola virus. Having lost their fear of a highly lethal virus, the Japanese authorities and the Self-Defense Forces began to launch a vigorous counteroffensive against the Truth Army, which was already unable to succeed.

As a matter of fact, the most serious blow to Shinrikyo was not the large-scale counteroffensive and encirclement of the Self-Defense Forces, but the rupture of the faith of the cultists. Since Shoko Asahara, the "true god" of Aum Shinrikyo, claims that the Ebola virus is a sign of the extinction of the world, the end times have come, and only by believing in him can he be saved. But now, the Japanese authorities who do not believe in him and spurn him have obtained a way to save the virus, and now they can be saved without believing in him, and the Japanese authorities still make most Japanese feel safe and normal, but Aum Shinrikyo, which is often humanely destroyed and slaughtered with sarin gas, looks like a terrorist organization after people react.

Aum Shinrikyo, which has lost its faith, has repeatedly seen cases of its members turning over important local church organizations and lists of their cadres to the government. As a result, the grassroots Aum Shinrikyo organization suffered an important blow, and there were even cases in which the most loyal Prama soldiers voluntarily defected to the enemy and acted as a leading party to clear out the Pravra's urban guerrillas.

After nearly a month of this, Shinrikyo suffered another major blow - the actual supreme military commander of the Pravite Army, Mototo Aoki, was nowhere to be found. It is speculated that he saw the end of the Aum Shinrikyo and did not want to be buried for the Aum Shinrikyo, so he fled. Considering that this "famous general" buried the lives of thousands of SDF soldiers, even if he defected to the SDF, the SDF would not be able to give up.

Then the name became particularly legendary, and it was rumored that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces offered a large reward for capturing Aoki Moto, making him pay; Some people also said that the Self-Defense Forces were eager to seek talents, hoping to put aside their past suspicions and invite this military-minded and talented general to join the Self-Defense Forces. It is also said that Aoki Moto, who had already fled Japan and went to Papua New Guinea, joined an organization that continued his legacy.

In any case, the disappearance of Aoki Moto, the Truth Army, which was not already considered an elite, was not only leaderless and chaotic, but also lost its unified command, and the various branches of the Truth Army were finally defeated without the help of effective support, and even surrendered directly to the Self-Defense Forces.

Prime Minister Hosokawa Gohei also played the banner of "national reconciliation", claiming that as long as he surrendered to the government and the Self-Defense Forces, he would not be held accountable for all crimes, in order to calm down this year-long **** as soon as possible, so that Japan can quickly return to normal from depression and depression.

Although this man withstood the pressure of resignation, even did not hesitate to use wartime means to forcibly dissolve the Diet, and acted arbitrarily, although he was widely criticized, it cannot but be said that his various actions were really beneficial to Japan. However, with Shinrikyo on the verge of extinction, the whole of Japan absolutely cannot allow such a prime minister to continue to hold office, and there are even some people who believe that Hosokawa Gohei is responsible for the entire crisis, and that it is not only useless, but also that he must be held accountable. And Hosokawa Gohee did make some mistakes, and his ass was not clean, providing a pretext for the opposition to bring him down.

The aftermath of the Shinrikyo rebellion was not completely calm until mid-1995, and in the midst of normal chaos, nearly 300,000 Japanese people died due to the virus and war, which is almost unimaginable in such a modern country. Regardless of the casualties caused, the Truth Army deliberately sabotaged facilities in major Japanese cities, causing significant damage to the urban economic circle. In the course of this year, Japan's economy has not only grown, but even suffered a great loss of vitality, and the damage to the hardware will one day be built, but because Japanese products cannot be exported abroad for up to a year, the goods of countries such as China, Nanyang, and North Korea have quickly seized the high ground that Japanese products have originally obtained.

While it is not incomprehensible that the United States has not supported Japan much because of the Ebola virus, the alliance between Japan and the United States has been affected somewhat. Japan's crisis has not only lost its economy, population, and trust, but also the Diaoyu Islands, the Pearl of the East China Sea, have been reclaimed by China, even though it is not possible to build a large-scale military base there. However, in the name of aiding Japan, China has built an improvised drone base there, and the drones that take off there can detect military intelligence in the Ryukyus and even in the Japanese mainland, and Japan's entire defensive posture in the western Pacific region has seriously deteriorated.

This is also one aspect that the United States is very worried about, so after Japan ended its ****, the United States privately told Japan that it would provide necessary support and reinforcements for Japan's national normalization and military capability. This has greatly encouraged many right-wing forces in Japan, and it seems that with the help of the "threat to world peace" caused by China's continuous advance into the ocean, Japan can finally slowly transform from a country that was emasculated after World War II to a country that has become a normalized country.

The strength of the Chinese Navy is constantly improving, and in the national defense white paper released in early 1995, the complete fleet of the Chinese Navy was presented to the world for the first time, causing a great uproar around the world. China has 7 aircraft carriers, including 4 Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, 2 Type 001 aircraft carriers, and 1 Ulyanovsk-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier; 8 Type 075 amphibious assault ships, 12 dock landing ships; 30 Type 055 Aegis cruisers, 8 Type 052A destroyers, 52 Type 052D Aegis destroyers; 16 Type 054A frigates, 24 Type 054B frigates, 60 Type 056 corvettes; 16 strategic nuclear submarines, including 4 094 and 12 096, 30 strategic nuclear submarines, 40 conventionally powered submarines. (The arsenal ship is still not disclosed)

It may be that the Chinese Navy is still inferior to the US military in absolute quantity, but in terms of the quality of the ships, the US Navy itself has to wipe a cold sweat, because the fleet that China has accumulated is basically new ships after the 80s, and the total number of Aegis ships with strong comprehensive combat capability exceeds 100 (054B can be used as a small Aegis). The United States has less than half the number of Aegis ships.

Moreover, China's submarines have long been considered one of the deadliest naval weapons in the world. AIP submarines produced in China are also being scrambled by several naval powers. At that time, the United States assessed that the combat effectiveness of Chinese AIP submarines operating in the coastal area was not inferior to that of American nuclear submarines, and even better than the Los Angeles class in terms of silent capability.

And the nuclear submarines built by China have always been weapons that the United States and other Western countries cannot see through and want to understand. Previously, the United States had not been able to figure out how many strategic missile submarines China had, some people guessed no more than five, some people guessed at least ten, and many unreliable guessed 20. Now 16 ships have been announced, which is not a big surprise, but it still makes Americans cautiously worried. What is the technical level of these nuclear submarines, they do not know. In the Sino-British conflict, the 094 that launched a Julang-2 missile equipped with a nuclear warhead was already a very threatening weapon in the United States, even if the 094 did not go out of the ocean and only operated in the marginal seas, it was enough to threaten Alaska, Hawaii, Guam and other important places in the United States, not to mention that Chinese submarines seem to be keen on activities in any part of the world's oceans, and it is not uncommon for US submarines to encounter Chinese submarines in the past two years.

In addition to a few photos of the Type 096 submarine confirming the existence of this submarine, the specific technical details of the Americans are even more blind. Generally speaking, this type of nuclear submarine is comparable to the Ohio-class of the United States, capable of launching 24 Julang-3 missiles with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. And others, such as power levels, silent levels, etc., are almost unknown.

Now that the Americans know that China is actually equipped with as many as 12 Type 096 strategic nuclear submarines, which are obviously a key component of China's sea-based strategic nuclear deterrence, the nuclear cloud overhead feels overwhelming.

In addition, China has quietly equipped seven aircraft carriers, although the total number is only half of the United States, but the combat capability of each one is not bad, and the strongest Type 002 aircraft carriers are enough to be compared with the latest Nimitz class of the US military. Although the Nimitz class is a ship class, the actual individual differences are relatively large, some are more than 90,000 tons, some are nearly 100,000 tons, and the internal details are not quite the same. The design level of China's Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is very high, and the outside world believes that although its tonnage is slightly smaller, its combat efficiency is no less than that of several super-large aircraft carriers of nearly 100,000 tons in the US military.

After the release of China's "White Paper on National Defense," the "Wall Street Journal," a well-known US newspaper, published an article entitled -- China is Fighting Arms and Fighting in 10 Years, and World Peace Is Worrisome. Some other U.S. media outlets have followed suit, and the tone is roughly the same, and there is no longer the touting and trust in China that was the kind of honeymoon between China and the United States a decade ago.

A well-known journalist wrote: "...... The most frightening thing is not the large amount of advanced weapons and equipment that China possesses, nor the excellent war art and theory of the Chinese, but what is terrible is what kind of psychology and purpose the Chinese have. We can't imagine what kind of thinking has led the country to take advantage of the dividend period of economic development to frantically expand its own military equipment, nor can we imagine what China will do next when it has such a powerful force. Precisely because we do not know, we are rightfully afraid, but we also have sufficient reasons to arm ourselves and defend ourselves against any unjust armed attack. ”

In any case, the United States faces a far more formidable adversary today than the Soviet Union of those days, perhaps less aggressive than the Soviets, but they are also significantly smarter, and they have a navy ten times stronger than that of the Soviet Union, and the power of this navy seriously threatens American interests, even the American homeland.
