Today is 9/11, but I remembered some stories about Pearl Harbor that I knew.

The first is the incredible temperament of the Imperial Navy, or the temperament of this nation. Attentive, serious and careful, as well as shocking and murderous imagination.

The Japanese navy’s meticulous planning and execution is even more amazing. Whether Pearl Harbor or Midway Island, they fully reflect the unparalleled imagination of the Japanese navy in combat; for example, the wooden tail-wing torpedo full of cottage sense, because Pearl Harbor is a harbour with a depth of 12 meters, and ordinary torpedoes can be pierced to the end. And this design was developed only 50 days before the attack, because the emperor did not agree to this battle plan until then.



Then came Yamamoto’s Fifty Six’s powerful personal charm and Nan Yun Zhongyi’s “carefulness”;

Yamamoto’s extraordinary sense of the future development of the navy—advanced recognition and attention to naval aviation, in fact, and Guderian’s contribution to the blitzkrieg Similarly, the innovation of the mode of war is an epoch-making contribution. And his unparalleled influence in the Imperial Admiralty and his "gambler" behavior in front of the Emperor are full of the meticulous, powerful and ambition of this national elite.

As for the tragic Nanyun, Yamamoto's plan was to gain a one-year combat advantage against the United States, and Nanyun's cautiousness, that is, abandoning the third wave of attacks, ultimately made the combat advantage possible for no more than half a year. His prudence and care was finally retaliated on Midway Island. The Imperial Navy lost all its losses and, by the way, several life-time generals of the US Navy were created.



Third, it is about the Pearl Harbor conspiracy theory:

Even the Kuomintang knows that Japan is going to attack Pearl Harbor, but the US Navy does not yet? To a large extent, Roosevelt may know, Marshall should also understand, as the US Navy, may not be clear, even they know or believe that this imaginative and assertive style of play, because this is really man-made miracle;

As widely circulated The withdrawal of the US Navy’s aircraft carriers from Pearl Harbor may be entirely God’s survival for the Americans and for the world; because at that time the US Navy was full of conservative tendencies, that is, if the Americans wanted to protect the Pacific Fleet, they would have to withdraw. It is a battleship, not an aircraft carrier. Another thing to mention is that the world’s first aircraft carrier was the Japanese man-made Fengxiang, and I sigh.



In the end, what I feel most deeply is that this story reflects the difference between us and these two nations.

If I remember correctly, Japan should have been hit by the United States in 1919 and the United States was doing research and planning. When I first heard about this, it immediately reminded me of the fact that the Japanese Football Association plans to get the World Cup in 2050. It's not a joke, we are the ones who should be laughed at. At this point, I'm all about it.

The Pearl Harbor incident is a huge national humiliation for the United States. Look at almost all American film and television works. Every time we shoot here is like we photographed the Tangshan Earthquake or the Nanjing Massacre. But when I first learned how many people were lost in the Pearl Harbor incident in the United States, I really wanted to use the Katyn tragedy and the Nanjing Massacre to insult the Poles and the Chinese. The answer is 2402 people were killed in action. We are really worthless. Looking at Obama's speech after the mine disaster, reading the names of the dead one by one, I realized this again.



One more thing, we can listen to it as a joke to laugh at the Japanese. Of the four ships that were sunk in Pearl Harbor, two were salvaged and continued to be used. In other words, Pearl Harbor actually lost only two warships to the Americans. The USS Arizona is still a patriotic education base to this day.

Coincidentally, during the Battle of Midway, the United States had three aircraft carriers participating in the war. One of them was called the York City. Nimitz violated US military regulations and was forced out of the repair pile to fight. After the aircraft carrier was hit by the Japanese, it was thought to be doing it. I didn’t move, but was hit again for a while. The U.S. Army gave up decisively, but it didn’t sink. So the tugboat was ready to be towed back to continue repairs. It was towed and hit. When I was about to go back, the submarine or the torpedo got a key part of it. , And finally finished. What is even more funny is that when the Soviet Red Army was in the northeast, legends sometimes saw Japanese tanks not firing guns. They drove at full speed and crashed into them, and the Japanese tanks fell apart.

I don't know if this joke is funny, but I think it's really sad that we compare with others.



PS. It's purely boring, can't read the book, and write nonsense. If there is a historical flaw, please point it out. I am grateful for the

    Nearly documentary-like high standards, this rigorous attitude and comprehensive perspective are difficult to reproduce with the development of the times. The different styles created by the Japanese and American co-productions is a major feature. As far as I am concerned, I prefer the Japanese part. The feeling of pressure is very strong. The United States always feels that some group performances are not very entertaining, and they are overdone. , Even brought out a bit of black humor, so he hesitated to deduct one star again and again.
