Recently, the Japanese reactionaries have buckled down to the extension of gunpowder houses for the Self-Defense Forces under the pretext of supplementing ammunition for “bolstering up the defence capabilities”.

The SDF which has 1 400 gunpowder houses across the country is planning to additionally build about 130 gunpowder houses to the standardized design by 2032.

At present, the construction sites for 65 gunpowder houses were fixed and the design and construction projects are underway. Of them, three were already completed in August this year. The design for the remaining 65-odd gunpowder houses is to be launched in 2027 after choosing their sites.

It is reported that the scale of the extension of gunpowder houses will increase more than the plan according to the three security documents, including the “national security strategy”, that the Japanese authorities are planning to formally revise within this year.

The extension of gunpowder magazine means that Japan is anticipating a long-drawn-out war.

It is by no means fortuitous that the present chief executive of Japan asserted from the outset of this year that Japan should make preparations for a long-drawn-out war.

This is vivid evidence that Japan, a war criminal state, regards a war for aggression and its prolongation as a fait accompli and is making preparations for bolstering up its sustained combat capacity.

The Japanese reactionaries are now getting more frantic in the open scheme to realize the war strategy for materializing their reinvasion ambition.

Since the emergence of the Takaichi regime, the Japanese authorities have openly pursued such extremely dangerous neo-militarist policies as the revision of the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology for operation of the “war industry” and its operational guidelines and the massive increase of “defense budget” that the preceding regimes did not dare to do.

They are also hell-bent on rounding off the war preparations for aggression, investing a huge amount of funds in the development of underwater-launched hypersonic missiles, massive deployment of attack drones and introduction of AI into the SDF command system and other measures for coping with the “new combat mode” and the additional deployment of long-range missiles with the “capability of attacking enemy bases”.

As well-known to everyone, Japan as a war criminal state is banned to have a regular army, to say nothing of the right to take part in any war or right to belligerence. Nevertheless, it is scheming to increase its gunpowder houses in all parts of the country with a view to a long-drawn-out war, after getting fully prepared to be a war state.

The militarist serpents’ moves to increase the gunpowder houses geared to entering the road of overseas aggression as soon as possible are self-destructive acts of turning the whole of the archipelago into a huge powder keg.

It is an undeniable historical fact that the Japanese militarists, who ignited a bloody war of aggression with the ambition to dominate the whole world a century ago, were plunged into the mud of a long-drawn-out war in Asia and finally defeated.

The Japanese neo-militarists should clearly understand that if they make desperate efforts to realize the wild dream of the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”, oblivious of the bitter lessons of the past, they will only face the second defeat of Japan.
