Japan is not a normal country, it was not in the past, nor is it now. Therefore, Japanese politicians with "ambition" always pursue "national normalization".
Japan is still a lucky country and has almost perished many times in history. But every time the critical moment of "life and death", we can always get a strong medicine to bring the country back to life.
Japan is now at the moment of "life and death" again, Japan is waiting: Is there a dose of strong medicine on the way? They could always wait for "medicine". What does
look like?
1. The earliest Japanese history is very fantasy
Where did the so-called "Yamato nation" come from? There are many controversies: some say they crossed the sea from the Korean Peninsula; some say they were from Qin Shihuang sect sect from the east to for medicine, bringing three thousand boys and girls to reproduce.
No matter what, it is impossible for people to pop out of the cracks of the stones on the desolate island. They first came from the mainland, so there is nothing to doubt about this; there is only one question: when did you go.
According to Japanese history books " Ancient Times " and " Japanese Shuji " records: Japan was founded on February 11, 660 BC by " Shenwu Emperor ". Shenwu Emperor was the first emperor of Japan. Therefore, February 11th of each year is Japan's "founding anniversary".
The ancient Japanese
Many people doubt whether Japan was founded so early and whether Emperor Shenwu was real. Because the Japanese history books " Ancient Times " and " Japanese Shuji " are just like the ancient Chinese " Shanhai Jing ", which are full of myths.
In terms of time, Japanese history books cannot be justified. Among them, there is no record of the "Eight Generations of Emperors" after Emperor Shenwu. Japan calls this history "Queshi Eight Generations". was not recorded until the ninth generation of "Huaihua Emperor".
historical books " Ancient Story " and " Japanese Shuji " were written under the order of Emperor Kaihua, so people have to wonder: Is their previous history nonsense?
Even the Japanese records of "Huaihua Emperor" are magical: he was born in 213 BC and died in 98 BC, which means he lived to be 115 years old.
Japanese myth
2. The witch who jumps to the great god is the king
. Around 159-247 AD, Japan was in the "Yayoi era". The so-called " Yayoi era " refers to the "Yayoi culture era", which is a primitive agricultural civilization that "used pottery and stone tools"; before the "Yayoi era", Japan was still in the primitive stage of "knotting ropes", which was called the "Jomon Period" in history.
" Three Kingdoms ·Wei Shu·Biography of the Japanese" records: Japan is on the southeastern sea, with hundreds of small countries on the island, and all countries recommend "Himihu, the queen of , Taiwan," as the king.
What does Himehu do? In fact, it is the witch who "jumps the god". shows that during the Three Kingdoms period of mainland China, the Japanese islands were still in the period of agricultural civilization where knots and knots were recorded.
Han Wudi , the "King of the Slave Kingdom" located in Kyushu, Japan, paid tribute to the Han , and obtained the "King of the Slave Kingdom" gold seal given by Emperor Guangwu of Han . Around 500 AD, Japan entered the " ancient tomb era".
The so-called "Ancient Tomb Age" is the funeral culture in ancient Japan: the more people have a status, the larger the tombs they are built, so that some of them are like mountain.
Nara's ancient tomb
After this, Japan entered a "feudal society". The historical records of " Asuka Era ", "Nara Era", and " Heian Era " are all named after the place where the emperor lives. "Aobi" is in Asuka place in Nara Prefecture; "Nara" is the current Nara ( Heichong Kyo-); " Heian" is the current Kyoto, which was called " Heian Kyo-" at that time.
By this period, the connection between Japan and the Chinese dynasty was very frequent. The Chinese civilization was introduced to Japan. The most obvious thing was that the planning and architecture of the Japanese capital were almost copied from the style of Tang Dynasty Chang'an.
In 1156 AD, the Japanese noble general Heikimori gained the trust of the Later Emperor Shirakawa and controlled the royal family. took the emperor to command the princes. The Japanese "samurai regime" began to take shape.
AD 1192, Yuan Laicho was named "General of the Conquering Yi" by the Emperor, and established the Wujia regime with "Kamakura" as the national political center. Japan entered the "shogunate politics" - Kamakura Shogunate was established.
Nara, Japan's Suzakumen
Shogun controls the actual control of the country. The empty emperor is just a symbol and his life is not rich. Even the paper written is controlled by the shogun and dare not waste it.
Powerful people are proud of being the "General of the Conquering the Barbarians", because if they become this general, they may "set up a shogunate administration", and no one will rob the position of the Emperor of the bitter emperor. Japanese Emperor was passed down in such a "long-lasting line".
passed through Kamakura Shogunate, Muromachi Shogunate , Ashikaga Shogunate , Edo Shogunate , until 1868, the last shogunate general " Tokugawa Keiki " major power returned to Meiji Emperor , Japan's "shogunate politics" ended, and the country entered a new era.
3. Ancient Japan passed by the "destroyed country" for the second time
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi looked down on Japan at all, Japan escaped the disaster
Japan is a volcanic island country with few plains on the island and scarce resources. The volcanoes that erupt from time to time and the frequent earthquakes and tsunamis made the people on the island very painful. This pain has been engraved in the memories of the islanders for generations and has been transformed into a "sense of crisis" for the islanders facing survival.
Ukiyo-e
So, in the ancient Japanese attacked each other on the island, they all wanted to occupy a better plain area. Once most of the good places are occupied, the strong men on the island will think about how to get out and escape from these broken islands.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Japan's national strength became good after the "Great Innovation"; in 661 AD, a series of internal problems occurred on the Korean Peninsula, and the "Honor Brother Prince" who held real power on the island decided to devote the whole country to attack the Korean Peninsula.
The regime on the peninsula was protected by Tang , and they asked for help from Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi at that time.
Li Zhi was the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the ninth son of Li Shimin. He ordered troops to defeat the Japanese navy at the " Baijiangkou" on the Korean Peninsula. Thousands of warships built by Japan with all their efforts were burned to nothing left, and almost all the troops across the country were wiped out.
Battle of Baijiangkou
Because at this time, Japan no longer had an army, no matter who fought to Japan, it could easily and happily occupy Japan. The "Zhongda Brother Prince" who initiated the invasion was frightened and panicked on the island all day long. The whole island believed that the Tang Dynasty's army would definitely come.
The Tang Dynasty was still centered on Chang'an (Xi'an). They were an absolute "land power" power power and were unwilling to use troops on distant islands. On the other hand, the Central Plains dynasty was still a "production-oriented civilization" after all, and had no character of expanding outward. So, Japan escaped.
Typhoon blew away the Yuan army, and Japan escaped the disaster for the second time
13th century, Mongolian Empire emerged, and the army of the Mongolian Empire went south, attacking the Song Dynasty to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas; in 1260, Kublai inherited the Khan throne, regarded himself as the emperor of the Central Plains, and Japan, which was across the sea, entered the vision of the Mongols, becoming Kublai Khan's next target of conquest.
divine wind blows away the Yuan army
Mongols are a nation that grows on horseback. The land warfare world is invincible, and the powerful Russia is conquered by them, but naval warfare is indeed not good.
After the Mongolian conquered Goryeo, it began a series of preparations to capture Japan. Starting from 1274 AD, the army of the Yuan Dynasty crossed the sea to attack Japan, and the "Yen-Japanese War" broke out.
Although the Mongolian army is not good at naval battles, as long as it hits the island, Japan will be finished. Who knew that when the Mongolian army came to Japan by boat, they encountered a typhoon, all the warships capsized and countless soldiers and horses drowned.
The Yuan army soldiers who were not drowned were drifting to the island for life, either being hacked to death by the Japanese on the spot, or becoming prisoners or slaves.
Japan escaped the "destroyment of the country" for the second time during the Yuan Dynasty. Because the typhoon saved Japan, since then, the Japanese regarded "Kamikaze" as "God". The "Kamikaze attack" during World War II came from here - "Kamikaze" saved Japan.

4. After the Meiji Restoration , Japan embarked on the road of militarism and opened their way to death
1853, US Navy Brigadier General Massie Perry led four black steamers into Japan's Edo Bay . Japan was panicked and had to agree to the Americans' request to "open ports and conduct trade";
. The long-term "shogunate politics" was not popular in Japan, and Japan carried out the " reverse curtain movement " with the theme of "returning the great power".
1868, reversed straits won the civil war, and the last shogun Tokugawa Keiki had to return the state power to Emperor Meiji;
Under the leadership of Emperor Meiji, Japan began the "Meiji Restoration" with the purpose of "rich the country and strengthening the army". The country began the industrialization process, its national strength grew rapidly, and it quickly developed into a modern country.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength gradually became stronger, and they couldn't wait to embark on the road of aggression and expansion.
One Sino-Japanese War defeated the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing , interrupting the Qing Dynasty’s “ Westernization Movement ” process; one Russo-Japanese War annihilated the two fleets of the Tsarist Russian , and Japan became one of the imperialist powers.
Japan after the Meiji Restoration
, but Japan's national strength is limited after all, and they had exhausted their national strength in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895; with the help of Qing compensation, the Japanese economy recovered.
In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's war expenses were almost all borrowed. They were "betting on the national destiny": if they won, they beat Tsarist Russia hard and had everything; if they lost, the country would be in danger of overturning.
In the end, Japan won, but Tsarist Russia did not pay a penny. Although the United States and Britain did not like unreasonable Tsarist Russia, they were both white people, so they helped Tsarist Russia and made Japan not make a penny.
The Japanese economy is in crisis, the country is in turmoil, and women go to Nanyang to do flesh-and-skin business. In the midst of storm, the Japanese looked at the world in horror. They had neither the strength to fight again nor the strength to resolve the domestic crisis.
1914, World War I broke out, and the Japanese "national fortune is coming". They used a large number of industrial products to fill the colonies of European powers and make a fortune. Japan came alive again. After the first battle with
, Japan, together with the United Kingdom, the United States and France, was called the "Fourth in the World". These four countries signed the "Fourth Covenant" in , Washington, . In Asia, Japan began to expand comprehensively and began to invade China.
The great power is returned to
5. Japan actually died after World War II, but he once "escape from death"
Japan after World War II was actually a dead fish, the country was bombed into rubble, and all ships were divided by the victorious country. The United States did not want to support it at the beginning, but just regarded it as a frontier.
Just as the Japanese were struggling, the Korean War broke out, the United States took Japan as a base in terms of logistics needs, equipment repairs, etc., and Japan received a large number of orders, all factories started construction day and night, and the Americans were not stingy to them all the skills they needed.
The Korean War was over, and Japan came alive. The United States started from strategic needs and was determined to build Japan into a frontier fortress of the Cold War .
In order not to allow Japan to surrender to the Soviet Union, the United States comprehensively strengthened its control over Japan, and at the same time established a "San Francisco Peace Treaty" and used the alliance relations to tie Japan tightly to the Western chariots.
With the support of the United States, Japan began to take off from 1954. By 1969, its total economic output exceeded that of the United Kingdom and became the second in the world. Japan's industry is in full swing, and whether it is light industry, heavy industry, high technology or daily necessities, Japan has its own brands that are famous all over the world.
Seeing Japan's rapid development, Americans were shocked: No matter what this country is, it is the world's number one, how can it control it in the future? Moreover, in the semiconductor industry that has just emerged, Japan's Toshiba is obviously ahead of the world.
Americans began to curb Japan. The Plaza Accord in 1985 knocked out Japan's export trade; at the same time, they broke up Japan's semiconductor industry and distributed it to South Korea and TSMC. The Japanese had no temper at all and could only obey.
When South Korea and TSMC's semiconductor products were domineering in the world, the Japanese secretly cried: This was originally our industry.
Japan only has photoresist made in semiconductors, so that there is no world-class Internet company to this day.
Poor Japanese currency
6. Is Japan waiting for an opportunity
Since 1985, Japan has been very heavy. They are export-oriented economy. Without export-oriented products, they can only return to their previous painful appearance.
They had to follow the United States, hoping that the United States would loosen the chain around its neck.
Maybe everyone thinks: Can Japanese politicians work hard on their own? They still have technology, and they have accumulated so many high-tech patents. No matter which one can make the Japanese economy take off again.
In fact, no politician in Japan dares to disobey the United States, because the " Special Search Department " in Japan is an institution for Americans to deal with disobedient politicians, and they hold all the secrets of politicians.
And Japan's system was designed by the United States: without money and power transactions, it is impossible to be in power; therefore, as long as you are in power, there will be evidence of guilt.
This is the same as South Korea. What South Korea does to deal with politicians is the "prosecutor system" established by Americans in South Korea.
Who dares to disobey
Military, Japan is still a "colonial": military port is the US aircraft carrier , the airport is the US fighter jet, the top of the mountain is the US radar , the outer island is the US base, Japan cannot move at all.
What Japan can do now is the automobile manufacturing industry, but Japanese cars can hardly make money in the United States. Toyota will be "fined" by the United States every few years, and the fines it handed over are basically equivalent to the money it has made in recent years.
Japan has come to this point, with a serious aging in China, and visionary politicians are aware of the crisis.
Therefore, Japan aims to attack everywhere with the goal of "national normalization", hoping to change this internal and external difficulties. When Japan wants to normalize its country, the first and most important level is "the United States".
They are waiting for an opportunity to let Americans feel "the most important thing in Japan".
Wait for the opportunity
When a crisis occurs in the Taiwan Strait, Japan will jump out. They are not afraid of big things. The bigger the matter, the more chance Japan has;
When the United States wants to establish the "Asian version of NATO", Japan joined the "US, Japan, India and Australia" four-party alliance without hesitation. They think this is a manifestation of importance;
When the United States wants to sanction Russia, Japan still follows closely, and the sanctions measures are even more ruthless than the United States. They just want Russia to be angry, which is also an opportunity.
If there is no peace in the Northeast Asia and Pacific, Asia is peaceful and quiet, Japan will not have a chance.
However, the times have changed. Asia is no longer the time when Japan is dominant. Even the United States dares to act too much in Asia, let alone Japan?
Same stageDifferent dreams
In fact, Japan has completely parted ways with the United States and has devoted itself to Asia's embrace. This is the real opportunity. Unfortunately, Japan cannot do it psychologically and in terms of situation.
Psychologically, Japan considered itself a "Western country" before World War I, and foolishly thought that it was "the descendant of the great master ", and was superior. They look down on Asia.
In terms of the situation, as long as the United States does not decline to a certain extent, it will not relax the chains locked in Japan, and Japan cannot escape.
This is the sad thing about Japan and the reason why Japan causes trouble everywhere and looks for opportunities.
Is there a chance?
