The question of a three-power- alliance rose again in military circles and before long a treaty of a three-power-alliance was signed. The first step on this base was to defend the North and attack the South. So it was quite natural, that a neutrality-treaty was signed between Japan and Russia in April 1941. Shortly after this the Russian-German war broke out and the flame of Japanese militarism could not be suppressed any longer. So they decided on the so-called "South first,North next" strategy to be put into action. On December 8th of that year Japan suddenly attacked the British possession and strategic points of the USA in the Pacific under the swindle flag of negotiations with the USA.
From the abovesaid,we can deduce the whole process of change in japanese national policy and strategy and their inevitable results. But nobody knew why all this happened,even the japanese militarists themselves found it very mysterious. But nowadays there is no more secret about it and I can tell you publicly the following facts.
The japanese militarists were always thought to be full of schemes and tricks,but in fact they were only obstinate to be always in the active position and able to act as they pleased. It might sound strange,but the actual national policy and strategy of Japan has been controlled by China since the outbreak of the war until today. Her military operations were completely under chinese control and she was everywhere compelled into a passive position. Till now she is following the principal policies of our strategy, proceeding on the way of natural collapse. Right at the start of the war she stepped into the mud and cannot get out of it and in the end she fell into the snare by herself and there is no way for a lucky escape for her. (that means she waged a war with USA and Britain)
