1941年12月1日,日本政府与军方举行御前会议,商讨远东局势及其对策。认为要摆脱当前在中国进退两难的困境,必须向南推进,征服南洋及太平洋各国,切断中国的经济来源,夺取南洋各地丰富的橡胶、锡、铁矿石、石油等战略物资,进而“称霸”亚洲。为此必须不惜冒与中、美、英、荷等国同时为敌的风险。立即发动太平洋战争。 On December 1, 1941, the Japanese government held a royal meeting with the military to discuss the situation in the Far East and its countermeasures. They believe that to get rid of the dilemma currently facing China’s dilemma, it is necessary to move southwards to conquer the Nanyang and Pacific countries, cut off China’s economic resources and seize strategic commodities such as rubber, tin, iron ore and petroleum that are abundant across the Southeast Asia, thus “dominate” Asia . To do this, we must at all times take the risk of simultaneously taking enemy positions with China, the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries. Immediately launched the Pacific War.
