@bkjeong4302

2 жыл бұрын

@@the_tactician9858 No, he was wrong. The PH raid ignored the fact War Plan Orange (American plan in case of war with Japan) had changed heavily by the late 30s; the new plan was to LET Japan rapidly take over much of the Pacific (abandoning the Philippines, though for some reason the US Army wasn’t made aware of this plan) while American industry built up a massive new fleet, then strike back in 1943 or 1944 in a long, attritional campaign against a now badly overextended and resources-strapped Japan. Which is pretty much what happened, except it happened more quickly than people expected due to the Japanese defeat at Midway and the Guadalcanal campaign. Attacking PH and blitzing the Pacific was exactly the wrong move to make, one that played straight into the hands of the new version of War Plan Orange. What he should have done (this would still result in defeat for Japan, but not as bad of one) was to just go after the Dutch East Indies and British Malaya without striking PH or conquering vast swathes of the Pacific; the Philippines could not provide adequate basing for large-scale America naval operations at this point, meaning the IJN could largely ignore it as a threat. Then, as the political pressure to “save the Philippines” mounts from the American public, force the USN to take the fight to them before they have the logistical capability to do so, on terms set by the IJN. Japan would still lose once the Americans once the Americans get their new fleet up and running, but ti would be more of a challenge. Re: fuel tanks. the idea the fuel tanks at PH could have been easily destroyed by the Japanese is a myth.

29:29 Sorry, the most one sided battle in naval history had the Japanese getting slaughtered like dogs by Koreans, led by admiral Yi Sun-sin at the Battle of Myeongnyang in 1597. When 13 Korean ships, without losing a vessel, fought off a Japanese fleet 25x larger, destroying 1/4 of the fleets warships and about 1/10 of the entire fleet. The Koreans did take a number of KIAs though.... totaling 10, along with another 3 people being wounded.

Came for the Drachinifel cameo. Stayed for the memes. Earned a subscription.

Aurora actually won’t be alone for much longer in her berth, as of 2016 the Russians found HIRMS Strelets, a Uragan-class monitor which has just been sitting in St. Petersburg since 1901 as a floating workshop. She’s due to be cosmetically restored to her 1860s configuration making her one of the oldest surviving intact monitors in the world.

I literally got her yesterday and now you upload this... It's a sign. The revolution cannot fail.

Ura! This is such a pleasant surprise to see this video coming out. I play on the Avrora server in Azur Lane. Drink up comrades! For the Northern Parliament! Also, so glad Drachinifel joined in to play the meme, the myth, and legend herself, the Kamchatka.

I can picture high level diplomats being summoned both in Russia and Japan where they are explaining that they called "Dibs" and Russia responds with "Finders keepers" and match after match of rock paper scissors broke out between the tsar and the emperor and they kept cheating like children do "that's not a rock thats an asteroid" "thats not scissors that is a katana" and since neither had enough pride so actually lose they declared war

Any time I get to hear Drach play/talk about the Kamchatka is a good day indeed!

Y'know, as bad as the situation is in the US, that map of "If US land were divided up the way US wealth is" is historically remarkably egalitarian. Keep in mind history has some real low points where land ownership is partly or entirely concentrated to the title of the monarch and sometimes the nobility with something like 95% of society being permitted to live on that elite's lands in exchange for a large share of their economic activities, whatever those activities might be.
