Yes, I know there won't be an invasion because weapons like LOGIRs and 230mm rockets will be one of the first weapons that ROK Armed Forces hits Japan with if Dokdo is attacked in any way by the JSDF. Hyunmoo cruise missiles will be used against certain targets in Japan only in the later stages of a Korea vs Japan war.
I hope Tokyo takes South Korean retaliation capabilities into it's overall view of South Korea as there is a chance that Seoul could develop thermobaric munitions in the post-2020 time frame, which will upgrade South Korean strike capabilities even further. Either Japan totally and categorically drop its current claim (and any future ones) over the Dokdo Islets or face lower military relations despite signing the comfort women deal.
Japan has nothing to worry about from South Korea.......................................... unless there are plans in Japan to steal South Korean territory. Then I would have to honestly say that Japan does have a lot to worry about since South Korea knows what defence procurement plan to follow for all four branches of the ROK Armed Forces in the post-2020 time frame.
Such big talk from a guy whose nation still is at 'war' with North Korea. Before you talk threateningly about Japan, focus your attention on Cousin Kim Jung Un, first, who threatens to glass Seoul to smitherens with his supposed nuclear missiles.
Anyways, like I said earlier, the Liancourt Rocks will be settled soon. Now that the Comfort Women issue is being settled between Tokyo and Seoul. Besides, I'm sure Tokyo will be prepared to concede claims to Liancourt in order to bolster and improve relations with Seoul.
Btw, as per your nation's Ministry of Defense, in the event that there is an open war between South Korea and North Korea, the South Korean Government has authorized the Japanese Ministry of Defense, and the JMSDF, JGSDF, JASDF as well as the JSFG (Japan Special Forces Group) to come to the aid of Seoul. This means, the legions upon legions of Japanese will come to help liberate and secure Korean Democracy.
Dont worry my Kankukojin friend, we shall help you in time and will exterminate the North Korean threat if ever they invade your sacred land.
you didnt read about stories of corruption in the late qing era did you? i mean seriously, ammo being replaced with sand, gunners not even knowing how to properly operate their weapon. that's the kind of shit that made them lose and lose badly. were there outstanding individuals? sure there were, but the weight of the rest of the incompetent crew and the court meant the fleet(and the dynasty as a whole) was doomed the moment real fighting started.
I suppose yes there were cases. But at the same time we have to give them credit for their ability to try to administer the Empire and to keep their territories as long as possible. Given, i am not speaking as a Japanese, but am speaking as a military man and an officer of the JMSDF, the Qing were lambasted on all sides; by the English, the French, the Germans, the Americans, the Russians, the Italians, and then lastly by the Japanese. For being able to keep hold on to power and keep the Mandate of Heaven as long as they did, and to try to preserve the Chinese State for that long despite overwhelming odds, they should be given respect. Ultimately, in the end, the Qing did prevent the western and Japanese powers from completely conquering China , they resisted the Imperialist powers for that long.
The only thing that was unfortunate was that the Qing did not industrialize earlier , had they done this, then they would have industrialized as effectively as the Meiji Government in Tokyo.
That's my view. I give respect to the Qing for their abilities in trying to preserve the order for as long as they did. I am , as a Japanese, grieved to know that theirs was the last Imperial Dynasty of China, which was the progenitor of the Confucian-based Imperial system. Personally i would have liked to see a Constitutional Monarchy on China, one that would have preserved the millenial-old Imperial Hierarchy.
