1932年，日本已经生产了300多万吨钢铁。到1937年，这一数字已升至至少570万吨。相比之下，中国只有不到5万吨。
Japan already has cutting-edge technology. In contrast, China is still quite backward in technology. The literacy rate is below 9 per cent. On the contrary, Japan has provided national public education for children for decades.
日本已经拥有尖端技术。相比之下，中国在技术上仍然相当落后。识字率低于9%。相反，几十年来，日本已经为儿童提供了国家公共教育。
From 1937 to 45, Japan had fighter planes, steel warships (including aircraft carriers), tanks, trains, trucks and factories to produce these war machines and materials. China has only the ability to manufacture small arms.
1937年至45年间，日本拥有战斗机、钢铁战舰（包括航空母舰等）、坦克、火车、卡车和工厂来生产这些战争机器和材料。中国只有制造小型武器的能力。
Since 1895-1937, Japan has hoarded a large amount of war military expenditure from the &39;s predicament in China. Almost all Japanese leaders, not only General Yamamoto, have little or no chance to win, but the slim hope of reaching peace through negotiations with the United States is enough to discourage the conservative forces in the Japanese factions from seeking peace.
即使没有与美国的太平洋战争，也根本没有办法获胜，日本在中国进退两难，也没有办法承认问题并撤出中国。事实上，对美国的攻击是为了否认日本在中国已经陷入的困境。几乎所有的日本领导人，不仅仅是山本上将他们几乎没有或根本没有获胜的机会，但与美国通过谈判达成和平的渺茫希望足以打消日本派系中的保守力量求和的念头。
