Japan in WW2: Pacific Expanse

I-Japan ku-WW2: I-Pacific Expanse iwumdlalo webhodi lesu elisekelwe ekuphendukeni elibekwe eduze nolwandle lwe-Pacific, elifanekisela umzamo wama-Japanese cishe ongenakwenzeka wokukhulisa umbuso wawo ngenkathi ucindezela phakathi kwemibuso emikhulu engu-3 eya ngokuya inobutha (iBrithani, i-U.S. kanye ne-USSR). Kusuka ku-Joni Nuutinen: Ngomdlali we-wargamer wama-wargamers kusukela ngo-2011.

Halala kubadlali bokuqala abawinile! Umsebenzi omuhle, lo ngumdlalo onzima ukuwuqonda.

"Ezinyangeni zokuqala ezingu-6-12 zempi ne-U.S. neBrithani, ngizogijima futhi nginqobe lapho nginqoba. Kodwa-ke, uma impi iqhubeka ngemva kwalokho, angilindele impumelelo."
- U-Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, u-Commander-in-Chief we-Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet

Uwengamele isu lokunweba lase-Japan ku-WWII - isiphetho se-Pacific silenga esilinganisweni. Njengomakhi wezifiso zombuso wase-Japan, ukukhetha okwakho okumelwe ukwenze: Memezela impi emibusweni enamandla, yala ukukhiqizwa kwezimboni, sebenzisa imikhumbi yempi eyesabekayo ye-Imperial Navy - imikhumbi yempi enqamula amagagasi njengama-blade, kanye nabathwali bezindiza ezigcwele amabhomu atshuzayo avela esibhakabhakeni esilungele ukuna. Kodwa qaphela: iwashi liyahamba. Cishe ukushoda okuphelele kwezinsiza zemvelo kweJapan inkemba yamaDamocles ilenga phezu kwesu lakho. Amasimu kawoyela e-Dutch East Indies ayacwebezela njengesithelo esinqatshelwe, sesivuthiwe ukuthi singathathwa. Nokho, ukuzithatha ngeke kunganakwa. UMbuso WaseBrithani, nokubusa kwawo kwezempi okufinyelele kude, amandla ezimboni zase-United States, kanye nomshini wempi weSoviet ongapheli ngeke ume nje ungenzi lutho. Isinyathelo esisodwa esingalungile, futhi ulaka lomhlaba luzokwehlela phezu kwakho. Ungakwazi yini ukweqa okungenakwenzeka? Ungakwazi yini ukudansa onqenqemeni lwensingo, ulinganisela izimfuno zempi yasemhlabeni nolwandle, ukukhiqizwa kanye nemithombo yemvelo, ukuze uvele njengongcweti ongenambangi wePacific? Ingabe uzobhekana nenselele, noma ingabe umbuso wakho uzowohloka ngaphansi kwesisindo sesifiso sawo sokuvelela? Inkundla isimisiwe. Izingcezu zisendaweni. IPacific ilindele umbusi wayo.

Izici eziyinhloko zalesi simo esiyinkimbinkimbi:

- Zombili izinhlangothi zenza izikhathi eziningi, ngalinye lidlala cishe njengomdlalo walo omncane. Ngithembe: ukuphuma ngebheyili e-Sumatra ngokwethuka ngemva kokufika lapho namayunithi ambalwa kakhulu nezinto ezidingekayo akujabulisi
- Izingxabano Nempi: Ekuqaleni, usempini neChina kuphela-konke okunye kuncike ezinsongweni zamasosha nezenzo zokushweleza.
- Umnotho: Nquma ukuthi uzokhiqiza ini futhi kuphi, ngaphakathi kwemikhawulo yemithombo yemvelo efana nowoyela namalahle ensimbi. Idlanzana labathwali lingaba lihle, kodwa ngaphandle kukaphethiloli omningi wokubanika amandla, mhlawumbe lilungele ababhubhisi abambalwa nabahamba ngezinyawo?
- Ingqalasizinda: Amayunithi onjiniyela angakha amanethiwekhi kaloliwe ezweni laseChina, kuyilapho ukuxhasa ngezimali isayensi nokunqoba kuvula imizila yemikhumbi yemikhumbi esheshayo. Uma amayunithi onjiniyela abe seShayina ukuze akhe izikebhe emngceleni uma kuqhathaniswa ne-USSR, noma ekuqiniseni i-pacific iziqhingi eziseduze ne-U.S.
- I-Logistics Yesikhathi Eside: Lapho iziqhingi ozithatha zikude, kuba nzima kakhulu ukugcina imigqa yokuhlinzeka njengoba imibuso enobutha inyusa amasosha ayo. Kuthiwani uma uvikela i-Papua-New-Guinea, usethe imboni lapho ukuze wenze umkhumbi wezempi, kodwa bese kuba nokuvukela umbuso futhi imikhumbi yase-U.S. isula imikhumbi yempi yangakini? Ungakwazi yini ukufaka amandla anele ekupheleni komhlaba ukuze uphinde ulawule, noma kufanele wamukele ukulahlekelwa kwalesi siqhingi okwamanje?
- I-Fuel & Supply: Izinkundla zikawoyela, ukukhiqizwa kukaphethiloli wokwenziwa, amathangi agwema imikhumbi-ngwenya yezitha, izingxenye ezincike kuphethiloli emhlabeni, olwandle, nasemoyeni—okuhlanganisa abathwali bezindiza nezisekelo zamabhomu ezitshuzayo—konke kudinga ukuhlela okuhlakaniphile ukuze kuhlangane.

Uzokwenzani uma abaseBrithani befika e-Java futhi basongela izizinda zikawoyela ezibalulekile, kodwa abantu baseMelika basanda kubamba i-Saipan ne-Guam, okusho ukuthi okuhlosiwe kwabo okulandelayo kungase kube iziqhingi zasekhaya?

"Ukuze kube khona indawo yokusinda, ngezinye izikhathi umuntu kufanele alwe. Ithuba ekugcineni selifikile lokulahla i-U.S., eye yaba isithiyo empilweni yethu yobuzwe."
