(The Tokyo Bay)"Let Him Hear"
(Glory and Sin of Japan)
In December 1941, the German Army was stopped 60km before Moscow by the USSR Army having been reinforced in parallel with, or just imitating, Germany's before the outbreak of the German-Soviet War.
Everybody in the world could not find what to think in this situation: Hitler might transfer all the troops from the western front, making the War longer and more uncertain.
Then, the world got fulminating news that the Empire of Japan attacked the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor in the middle of December 1941, destroying and damaging almost all the major U.S. Pacific Fleet's warships except aircraft carriers.
From Moscow to Chongqing, China, to Washington D.C., to London, and to Paris, every politician, quickly calculating on the huge U.S. military potential, concluded that the USSR, China, the U.S., the U.K., and France would eventually become a winner of WWII, since Germany allied itself with the Empire of Japan.
This, the Pearl Harbor Attack, is the largest mystery in the 20th century, which I will discuss later.

In the middle of the 18th century, North and South Americas were main targets of Western colonialists.
(Click to enlarge.)Before WWII, Africa and Asia were fully colonized by Western colonialists.
(Click to enlarge.)The Empire of Japan entered war with America, Britain, China, and Dutch in 1941.
European forces could not protect their colonies in Asia from military advancement of the Empire of Japan; but the U.S. could contain and push back the Imperial forces in the Pacific Stage of WWII.
And in the early 21st century, China, India, Korea, and other countries are not inferior to Europe and America in terms of ability in industry and commerce.

In 1980 Japan accounted for almost as high a share of world trade as all the other developing countries in Asia combined. Since 1986 the share of Japan in world exports has declined sharply - falling from 10.3 per cent in that year to 5.3 per cent in 2007. In 1980 the developing Asian countries, including China, accounted for 8.3 per cent of world exports and Japan for 6.5 per cent. By 2006 the developing Asian economies, including China, accounted for 23.7 per cent of world exports and Japan for only 5.3 per cent. In 1980 Japan's exports were equivalent to 78 per cent of those from the developing Asian countries, while by 2006 Japan's exports were equivalent to only 22 per cent of those of the combined exports of the developing Asian countries.

Some elite Europeans and Americans are glad to see any data indicating decline of the Japan's economic power while China and other Asian countries are growing.
However, it is not elite Europeans and Americans that help China and other Asian countries develop their industrial bases; but it is Japan that has helped China and other Asian nations to prosper with their economic growth as a historic fact.
Yet, if the hegemony in terms of hardware is in the Asian hand, the hegemony in terms of software, including money, is still in the hand of Europe and America.
Today, the hegemony in the world is measured by value and trust put on currencies of major powers; the U.S., Euro Member States, the U.K., and Japan are so recognized actually. The following figure shows what currencies are used for reserve in foreign currency in countries in the world.

IMF announced that the total loss in the global financial sector is going to reach $4 trillion.
However, as six million Judaists were killed by Christians around WWII, the total damages Judaists could claim could reach $6 trillion, since one person could demand one million dollar to be paid for his or her life.
As the Christian world is yet to pay $6 trillion to Judaists, any such $4 trillion-class financial crisis could happen in the Christian world, I am afraid so.
Or does the land of Israel cost $2 trillion as the balance?

Mar 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Mar 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
