Japan Informs Germany and Italy About the "Radar Illumination" Incident, Will the Axis Powers Reunite?

With China having already released audio evidence, Japan, unable to counter directly, has taken a "roundabout approach" — reporting the so-called "radar illumination" incident to its allies, attempting to internationalize the rumor.

However, what is more ironic is the choice of allies by Japan this time.

On December 9, Japanese Defense Minister Shigenobu Kōno first met with German Ambassador Sigismund in Japan, explaining the "radar illumination" incident in detail.

Kōno claimed that in July this year, a Chinese warship also used a laser to illuminate a German aircraft in the Red Sea. Therefore, "Japan and Germany agree that such incidents must be dealt with calmly and decisively, and cooperation and dialogue should be carried out for the peaceful development of the international community."

Subsequently, Kōno held a video conference with Italian Defense Minister Crosetto — according to a Japanese news release, Italian Defense Minister Crosetto stated that he "had learned about the events around Japan through Kōno's account."

It is not hard to see what characteristics these two allied countries chosen by Kōno have — if added to Japan itself, the three major Axis powers of World War II are once again gathered together.

Therefore, some netizens have questioned: yesterday was Germany, today is Italy, and the ones Kōno meets are all members of the Axis Powers. What exactly does Japan want to do?

In fact, the collusion between Japan and Germany and Italy on regional affairs has long been no secret. Especially in recent years, military and security interactions between Germany and Japan have become increasingly frequent, even jointly making statements interfering in China's internal affairs and responding to so-called "Chinese challenges."

All these signs indicate that certain defeated countries are likely to rise again — it's just a matter of time.
