What I basically knew was that it would only be a matter of time for one of the two to attack, the US or the Empire of Japan, for power and control of oil routes in the Pacific Ocean, long before the so-called World War II began. .
In 1941, Emperor Hirohito, Hideki Tōjō and Yamamoto finally took action. |

Knowing what we know now, we should have bombed China. But, at the time, China was our friend. Now, Japan is our friend.

Had the plan been carried out, those Lockheed Hudsons would have been easy targets for Japanese air defenses. They were older and slower than the B-25 Mitchells used several months later in the Doolittle raid.
