主题：【原创】有一类战犯叫“参谋”（四十六） -- 俞天任

做做文抄公。這是美軍方對日本太平洋戰略的評語:

The IJN's devotion to an outdated operational strategy, rather than focusing on what effects were needed to ensure their national strategy was met, proved to be their downfall.

..........

As effective as Japanese intelligence and initial military actions were, they never were focused on the destruction of the key target that might have let them achieve their goal of keeping the Navy (US) out of the Pacific. The Japanese disregard of the fragile US oil infrastructure in the Pacific was an incredible oversight on their part. The Japanese should have attacked the US oil supply at Pearl Harbor and followed up that raid with attacks on US oilers and tankers in the Pacific. Japanese attacks, in conjunction with German strikes, on the oil supply and infrastructure would have bought the Japanese much valuable time - time that could have been used consolidating gains in its newly won territories, time that migh ahve allowed Japan to build up such a defensive perimeter that the cost of an Allied victory might have been too high.
