Data mapRare, rather rare, there was a fierce quarrel between Japan and the United States.
Here, Japan has been making representations;Over there, the United States just turned a deaf ear.
Japan is now very helpless, a headache, a very embarrassing ......
What's the problem?The cause of the accident is still unclear, the crash has caused the death of a US soldier, and the whereabouts of the remaining seven people are unknown, and the large-scale search and rescue is continuing.
The Japanese are very anxious, and the US military has deployed quite a few Osprey military planes in Japan, and it is true that this kind of advanced US fighter plane is a killing machine, but it seems that it prefers to kill its own people.
In August this year, a US Osprey fighter plane crashed in Australia, killing three people and seriously injuring many others. Earlier in Okinawa, an Osprey fighter plane had already crashed in Okinawa, Japan, and many people were seriously injured.
In addition, around the world, every once in a while, there is news of the fall of the osprey.
As far as Japan is concerned, there are two fears of the US military stationed in Japan, one is that the US GIs are hooligans, and the other is that the US Osprey will descend from the sky.
Therefore, after the latest crash, at 8 a.m. on November 30, Japanese time, the Japanese Ministry of Defense asked the United States in writing to immediately suspend all Osprey flights.
United States, don't worry, it's okay to fly when the investigation is clear?
How did the United States react?
The United States turned a deaf ear and continued to fly.
What can Japan do?
I could only silently count the planes outside.
According to a report by Japan, from the time the request was issued to 3:30 p.m. on the 30th, Japan saw 20 U.S. military take-off and landing of Osprey at Futenma Air Base and Kadena Air Base in Japan.
The next day, on the morning of the 1st, Japan observed that the US military took off and landed 14 Ospreys in Okinawa.
The ban that Japan finally issued was thrown into the wastepaper basket by the Americans.
At the Pentagon, US Defense Department spokesman Singh made it clear that the cause of the accident is still under investigation, but the Osprey will continue to fly.
As for the suspension requested by Japan, Singh replied like this:"We do not believe that Japan** has made a formal request to the US Department of Defense. ”
So what is Japan's written request?
Could it be that Japan writes Martian?
Japan, in a state of desperation, had no choice but to take further action. Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa urgently met with US Ambassador to Japan Emanuel and asked the United States to "promptly provide information to the Japanese side."
Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara also urgently met with General Rupu, commander of the US forces stationed in Japan, and demanded that the US side allow the plane to fly after confirming its safety.
It is indeed very rare for two foreign and defense ministers to negotiate with the United States together, and Japan is really a little anxious.
But Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno sighed,Despite repeated requests from Japan, the American Osprey is still flying.
Angry that the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Danny Tamaki, scolded the Americans for being unreliable, "It is a great pity that the osprey is still flying in Okinawa, and I have serious doubts about the safety of the osprey, even in their search and rescue operations." ”
I saw that a Reuters report even quoted so-called experts as saying that they really did not expect this issue to become a major diplomatic dispute between the United States and Japan, "in the face of China's increasingly assertive military stance in the region, the United States and Japan have been building closer relations."
Where is this?Everything, China must be involved.
Finally, what do you think?
Let's go three points.
First, it is rare for Japan to take the lead.
It is rare and rare to dare to directly ask the United States to immediately ground the Osprey fighter. But the key depends on the result, what about the result?
The United States directly ignored it, and Japan immediately wilted, so it could only go back and count the planes by itself, how many planes took off and landed, and how many ...... took off and landed
Japan is so aggrieved.
Alas,The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he looked back at two hundred and five.
Second, the United States is really American.
What Japanese ** requires?
We didn't see it!
What Japanese Written Representations?
We don't think you have made a formal request yet.
You know, this is still Japan, the world's third-largest economy. In the eyes of the United States, there is no red line or bottom line for Japan.
This is true for Japan, not to mention the United States for other small countries.
Third, there will be a price to pay in the end.
Woe to the mad man, and rain to the madness.
I don't know if you have noticed that recently, the fighters of the United States and Japan have dropped a little too much.
In addition to the recent Osprey fighter, in March this year, two US Black Hawks collided, and a total of 9 soldiers on the two planes survived.
Oh, and also, in April of this year, a Japanese Black Hawk*** crashed, killing 10 people, including a lieutenant general, division commander, which is considered the heaviest loss of the Japanese army in decades.
In addition to aircraft, US ** ships are also frequently in accidents, especially near the South China Sea.
For example, in 2022, a US F-35C carrier-based aircraft failed to stop on the aircraft carrier "Carl Vinson" and fell into the South China Sea;In 2021, the USS Connecticut nuclear submarine collided with a mountain in the South China Sea, and was almost scrapped in the end, injuring 11 other sailorsIn 2017, the USS McCain, a guided missile destroyer, collided with a Liberian cruise ship, and the USS McCain was knocked out of a large hole, killing 10 U.S. sailors ......
Anyway,The more U.S. fighter planes come to China's periphery, the more tragedies they seem to be.
What is the reason?I don't know. It must be said that we are materialists, and naturally we will not say what kind of feng shui this is. But the US military, you should reflect on it yourself.
