Although Japan's industrial and military strength during World War II was not as good as that of the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain and France, it was also among the best in Shijie, but because the navy occupied most of the production capacity, the equipment level of the Japanese Army was always enough, and in the later stage of World War II, the number could not even be guaranteed, so that after the Soviet Union's million Red Army swept through the Northeast, it was shocked to find that the Kwantung Army, the number one main force of the Japanese Army, was withdrawn from a large number of weapons and equipment to support the Pacific Theater. There were many soldiers who didn't even have the most basic rifles and had to use bamboo guns to recharge

But now that the number of devils annihilated is more than the total losses of the entire eight years of history (including the results of the Allies), it stands to reason that the shortage of weapons in the Japanese army should be even more serious, but even those child soldiers who have just put on the devil's skin for a few days have obtained their own weapons. As for why the Japanese Army was able to obtain a sufficient supply of weapons, Hu Weidong knew the answer without asking, because the weapons of these child soldiers knew at a glance that they were American

In fact, Hu Weidong noticed that the United States began to secretly support Japan, but at that time, the United States' assistance was basically economic support such as loans and orders, and at most it provided some jishu support such as military radios and semi-finished products such as aircraft engines, but it never directly sold finished weapons to Japan. From this point of view, with the defeat of the Japanese army, the Americans not only did not give up their support for Japan, but instead increased the intensity of support, which could not help but make Hu Weidong not vigilant.

The US representatives stationed in the liberated areas had always defended Hu Weidong that their cooperation with Japan was only for the purpose of dealing with the Soviet Union, and Hu Weidong, who did not want to turn his face with the Americans prematurely, reluctantly accepted this argument at that time. But looking at it now, the Americans are completely saying one thing and doing another, and the current Japanese Army has been completely defeated by the PLA, and there is no confrontation between Liliang and the Soviet Union at all, and as the PLA sweeps across the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Army will not have much chance of fighting with the Soviet Red Army in the future. Under such a situation, if the United States provides naval weapons to Japan, it can also be said that they will give full play to their naval superiority to contain the Soviet Union; Army weapons can be given to devils (Hu Weidong knows very well that Japan has basically no international payment ability now, and the United States will either give away these weapons directly or provide loans to buy them.) In essence, the same is send). Apparently not to deal with the USSR, but to deal with, or at least contain, China

Hu Weidong had long ago learned that because the Soviet Union was far more powerful than the same period in history, the United States needed to support a country in the Far East that had irreconcilable contradictions with the Soviet Union to contain the Soviet Union. Both China and Japan meet this condition. But unlike historically, Britain chose Japan, the victor in the Sino-Japanese War. This time, however, the United States chose the loser of the war

Thinking of this, Hu Weidong quickly shook his head and said secretly, "No." Even if Japan were to be defeated, the British would have supported Japan, not China, because China had a terrible potential to rival the whole of Europe, and no shijie hegemon would be stupid enough to prop up a future rival. In this way, the attitude of the Americans can be understood, ideology is only one aspect, and the more important reason is that we have developed too fast in the past few years, and if it were the president of the United States in the future, it would be possible to ignore the potential threat from China, or to see it but not be able to let go of the implementation of a tougher China policy because of the pressure of big business groups. But now sitting on the throne of the US presidency is the lame Roosevelt, who has both that vision and the prestige and ability to resist to a large extent the interference of the major corporations and their agents, and as the opener of the road to American hegemony, Roosevelt will never allow the emergence of a dominant superpower on the Old Continent (Eurasia), as is the case with the Soviet Union, as is the case with Germany, and the same is true with China."

However, soon Hu Weidong found that he had thought too seriously about the problem, after all, the United States is a business empire, and the pursuit of interests is the first thing the US government should consider, and the possible threats after many years cannot be ignored, but the immediate interests cannot be easily given up, and the US economy has begun to recover strongly after obtaining a large number of orders from China, and the Americans who have tasted the sweetness will not completely oppose China unless they have to. Roosevelt, of course, saw China's huge development potential, but he also noticed that China's industrialization had just begun, and if it wanted to threaten the United States, it would take another half a century to say the least.

Therefore, the purpose of the US Government's support for Japan is not to completely make Red China an enemy, but only to prevent Chinese troops from landing on the Japanese archipelago. Roosevelt saw very clearly that, although according to the momentum of development in the past two years, it will not take long for China's total industrial output value and output of major industrial products to surpass Japan and become the first in Asia, but the foundation is still very weak, and perhaps within a few years, China's development will slow down markedly and even fall into difficulties due to the lack of educated population. However, once China can really counterattack the Japanese mainland and annex and digest it, it will acquire tens of millions of people who have received at least basic education, including high-quality scientific and technological personnel and modern enterprise managers, and in addition to China's comprehensive national strength comparable to that of the second-class powers, I am afraid that it will only take 10 years to become a second Soviet Union, which Roosevelt and the US government absolutely do not want to see.

Moreover, it must be noted that in the eyes of Westerners, it should not be difficult for China and Japan to be integrated, and communist ideology is inherently the nemesis of nationalist thought, so Roosevelt and his senior thinkers generally believed that it would not be difficult for China to completely digest and integrate it after the occupation of Japan, but they did not know that this was not the case. What's more, if it really annexes Japan, which has a large population and needs to import a large amount of grain, China's own food security will also be seriously threatened, which is not a trivial matter that can be ignored for the Chinese people who have not yet gotten rid of hunger, so even if the PLA really attacks the Japanese island, it will never choose to directly incorporate it into China's territory, although even if only Japan's high-end and high-end talents are swept away, China will still benefit a lot, but the weak foundation is difficult to change, not to mention that it is difficult to become the second Soviet Union in ten or twenty years, But the problem is that Westerners, including Americans, can't think of these things (to be continued......
