As we all know, Germany and Japan became "Axis Powers" during World War II , which brought heavy disasters to neighboring countries. Now the "Axis Powers" are making a comeback. According to the Japanese Ministry of Defense, Luftwaffe and Japan Air Self-Defense Force recently conducted a three-day joint exercise, with training subjects including formation and navigation. Germany and Japan sent three "Typhoon" fighter jets and three F-2 fighter jets respectively to participate in the exercise.
It is reported that the exercise is to enhance the understanding between Germany and Japan and improve the combat capabilities and tactical skills of the two countries. Although the exercise content and their respective lineups of this exercise are simple, there are still many issues worth noting. Before the exercise began, German Defense Minister Rambrecht said that this was just the beginning, and Germany will participate in the multinational exercise held in Australia the following year, and will also redeploy the maritime forces later.
If we can tell from Rambrecht's statement that Germany's next strategic focus may be on the Indo-Pacific region, then Rambrecht's next supplement confirms Germany's ambition to expand its power to the Indo-Pacific and the fundamental purpose behind it.
Rambrecht said in an interview with the Japan Times two days before the exercise began that the reason why Germany came to the Indo-Pacific was to help maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. As if to prove his own words, Rambrecht further emphasized that Indo-Pacific security is related to the security of Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, and stability in the Indo-Pacific region is crucial to Germany.
But the reality is that as a European country, Germany has nothing to do with the Indo-Pacific region. The so-called Indo-Pacific region will affect Europe's economy and politics is also nonsense. Rambrecht is just making an excuse for Germany to interfere in the Indo-Pacific region.
Although there is no direct interest entanglement between Germany and the Indo-Pacific region, the United States behind it is not necessarily the case. In order to expand its sphere of influence and increase its influence in the Indo-Pacific region, the United States has been causing trouble in the Indo-Pacific region in recent years and has also involved its allies one by one, and Germany is one of them.
In recent years, the United States has proposed the Indo-Pacific strategy , on the one hand, it is to expand its international influence, and on the other hand, it is to curb the rising China. The United States has recently conducted joint military exercises in the Indo-Pacific region and interfered in the internal affairs of Indo-Pacific countries. There are voices from the United States in almost all matters in the Indo-Pacific region. The United States' move is to increase its presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Therefore, Germany's military exercise in Japan is likely to be in line with the United States' Indo-Pacific strategy. The security threat mentioned by Rambrecht is just a means of frame-up by Western countries. In fact, if the order and security in the Indo-Pacific region are challenged, then the United States will be the first to be the one.
Previously, the South Korean government caused concerns among neighboring countries because it promised the United States to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea. The United States deployed the THAAD system in South Korea in essence to deter China. Considering that continuing deployment will affect the stability within South Korea and the relationship between South Korea and neighboring countries, the South Korean government once pressed the pause button.
However, last month, the South Korean military suddenly reported another news that the South Korean government intends to transfer land to the US military to deploy the THAAD anti-missile system, and the relevant procedures will be completed in mid-September. If the transfer is successful, it means that the next release, operation and maintenance of the THAAD system will be borne by the United States. In other words, sovereignty is in the hands of the United States and the South Korean government has no right to intervene.
The United States is equivalent to burying an irregular time bomb in the Indo-Pacific region. Although it is unknown that the United States has put pressure on South Korea to transfer when it sees its deployment progress too slowly, or South Korea has actively transferred it under pressure from multiple parties. In short, the system has seriously damaged the strategic security interests of neighboring countries, especially China.
From the accelerated deployment of the THAAD system to the German fighter jets' exercises in Japan, it is obvious that the American forces are gradually infiltrating into the Indo-Pacific region.The United States is threatening peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific through its hegemony, which deserves our vigilance.
