a little bit of personal

When the United States received the ultimatum from Japan, Pearl Harbor had been attacked for 55 minutes. As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese navy, Yamamoto is familiar with the personality of the United States. If he hadn't declared war openly, he would have angered the strongest enemy. When he learned that the declaration of war was only communicated to the United States after the war, he resolutely stopped. The second air strike was originally planned.

On the other hand, even if the U.S. did not receive an ultimatum from Japan, the United States had already successfully intercepted the Japanese telegrams, but due to various confusions and carelessness, it was able to be successfully attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941. Strictly speaking, however, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor did not achieve its real purpose. None of the three American aircraft carriers that were originally planned to be destroyed were moored at Pearl Harbor, which foresaw Japan's final defeat. The attack on Pearl Harbor caused the United States to give up its original neutrality, thus getting involved in World War II.

In fact, the Pearl Harbor incident, personally, is really more inclined to be a bitter plan planned by President Roosevelt at that time. If the United States continues to remain neutral, in the future, after Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Axis powers really control the Eurasian continent, the United States will really not be able to stand on its own. , so the United States must become an ally to stop the hegemony of the Axis powers. Another point I want to say is that, regardless of the war itself, the generals on both sides are indeed sincere, at least in the movie.

    A good beginning is half the battle. It was made into a documentary, Japan's only complete victory in the war against the United States, and the United States had problems with information processing, but Japan practiced every detail.

    8. The classic work of panoramic war movies. In fact, the movie makes one thing clear. How the United States was successfully attacked by Japan, all the characters and events revolve around this one center, so although the movie has many characters and complicated threads, but instead There is no sense of tediousness. It is a small narrative under the big picture, basically the same type of theme, Hollywood looks at the tiger tiger tiger, the Soviet Union looks at the liberation.
