December 8 CCTV disclosed in the National Defense and Military Morning Post that Japan had just finalized the "ambitious plan": spend 5 trillion yen to promote the development of "long-range missiles" in order to achieve "outside-defense capabilities" that can launch attacks from outside the "enemy" range! In other words, in the "Defense Force Preparation Plan" that will be announced soon, Japan will break through , , and adhere to the "defensive defense" national policy for decades after World War II, and officially seek to "preemptively attack" offensive ability against neighboring countries! As the United States, which occupied Japan for decades and has always played the role of "master" of Japan, was also the commander of the U.S. Marine Corps, , at this time, and expressed "full support" for Japan's move, and believed that Japan's pursuit of this "counterattack ability" was "confidence in self-defense and a good thing for crushing China's ambitions." At this point, the United States has taken advantage of Japan's hostile actions against China, and has moved from "behind the scenes" to "before the stage".
Japan's existing Type 12 anti-ship missile

In CCTV report, Japan plans to invest 5 trillion yen to develop a "long-range missile" based on the current Type 12 anti-ship missile of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, and develops a "all-around missile" that can have land-based, sea-based and air-based launch methods, and increases its range to more than 1,000 kilometers, so that it has the ability to attack local military bases in China, North Korea and other countries. In addition, Japan will also promote the development of "high-speed gliding bombs" used in defense of inner islands, including China's "Diaodao" and seek the ability to intercept the extremely difficult " hypersonic missile ". This time, Japan also took advantage of the opportunity to modify the three major defense programs to finalize a huge scale of increasing military expenditure by 1.5 times to 43 trillion yen (about 2.25 trillion yuan) in the next five years, in order to enhance its military strength and prevent neighboring countries such as China, Russia, and North Korea from carrying out their imagined "attacks" against them.
Therefore, after getting almost doubled the military expenditure, the Japanese Ministry of Defense seems to be able to achieve the wish of "empty shopping cart" in a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, even after obtaining the largest military expenditure after the war, the Japanese Ministry of Defense found that not only could not buy more equipment, but it could not even solve the problem of "soldier sources". This is because in addition to purchasing hardware equipment, the Japanese Self-Defense Force also faces pressure to increase spending in inconspicuous areas, such as the Self-Defense Force salary increase, ammunition purchase, spare parts and logistics supply. And because of Japan's severe aging and low wages in the Self-Defense Force, the current vacancies of the Self-Defense Force are as high as 16,000. For the army with only 230,000 posts, it is tantamount to being wiped out by "-compliant "!
Red is the area of the US military base in Okinawa
In addition, this doubled military expenditure also requires a lot of "respect" the United States and use it to make friends with the United States. For example, after the Japanese Self-Defense Force announced not long ago that it would expand the scale of the Ground Self-Defense Force in Okinawa, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture jumped out and praised, believing that this move would strengthen relations with the US military stationed in Okinawa, so Japan should take the initiative to reduce the cost of garrison burdens by the US military. But if this precedent is set, then the usage fees of US military bases stationed in other parts of Japan may be "reimbursed" to Japan! In addition, Japan was also pulled into the "US, Japan, Australia" small circle and the "quad-lateral mechanism" of Japan, the United States, Australia, India, and the plan to secretly stumbling to China. Of course, if Japan wants to "talk" in these organizations, it must have to pay out real money, such as purchasing weapons and equipment or providing funds directly - and all of these have to be spent on annual military expenditures.
In order to raise huge military expenses, Japan will start selling its "state-owned assets"
Therefore, although we can see from CCTV reports that Japan is really ambitious now - not only will it develop long-range missile that can hit neighboring countries, but also expand the scale of the Self-Defense Forces and double the military expenditure, but unfortunately, after the Japanese economy has been stagnant for many years and years of epidemic damage, the 43 trillion yen military expenditure that has doubled is no longer able to raise it from the regular passage.So Kishida said on December 8 that it would require at least 1 trillion yen to fill this big pit starting from 2027. This method, combined with three methods of raising money, including fiscal expenditure reform, final settlement of surplus funds, and the creation of "defense-strengthening funds", will become an important means for the Japanese government to solve the problem of doubling military expenditure. But unexpectedly, the "defense strengthening funds" actually included the income from the Japanese government's sale of state-owned assets - it seems that if the "little life" is determined to join forces with the United States to deal with us, they may fall into the embarrassing situation of "selling state-owned assets at a low price". This is really a model of "slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat"!
