At the end of the Pacific War, Japan used something to attack the continental United States

During World War II, the Japanese Empire used the most bizarre secret in order to cause panic in the United States. At that time, a hot air balloon carrying a bomb flew over the Pacific Ocean under the propulsion of jets, dropping deadly bombs along the route from Alaska to Mexico. This balloon bombing device was perhaps the most bizarre secret that Japan threw itself into during World War II**, and it belonged to the first transoceanic autopilot hot air balloon attack plan in history.

In an instant, 200 balloons soared into the air and floated mightily towards the United States. But alas, in the end, not a single dangerous balloon reached the shores of the United States. The Japanese army still did not give up and prepared to launch a second round of balloon attacks.

At the end of October 1944, the Japanese army carefully prepared to release the second batch of balloons and tried to make them cross the ocean to the United States.

The Japanese Navy, using a submarine carrying a small reconnaissance aircraft, crossed the Pacific Ocean and dropped incendiary bombs on the forests of the west coast of the United States in an attempt to set them on fire, which did not cause a forest fire at all. It was the only attack by the Japanese Navy on the continental United States in World War II. Everything else is YY.

What is more practical is the combat plan of the submarine carrying the aircraft. Later, it was planned to build the I-400 class submarine, and four were completed. This was not only the largest conventionally powered submarine at the time, but also in history, carrying three specially built Haruman water bombers for the first time in history.

The Japanese Navy plans to concentrate on using the I-400 submarine to cross the Pacific Ocean, and then release aircraft to raid the Panama Canal, as well as other possible strategic points.

Balloon. In 42, a reconnaissance plane taking off from a submarine dropped two incendiary bombs on the continental United States, inspired Japan to design and build a submarine I-400 (diving aircraft carrier), planning to drop bacteriology ** on the west coast of the United States, but it was not implemented.

Balloon bombs, the inventor is called Arakawa, and there is a submarine carrying 1 small plane to the United States offshore to take off the plane gap in the United States. The latter basically did nothing, the former caused a certain amount of losses and great panic, because the news blockade of the Americans was very good, the Japanese could not get ****, and thought that there was no harm to the United States, so they stopped the attacks of balloon bombs and submarine aircraft.

Balloon bombs, using meteorology, reasonably choose the place of release At the time, there were still balloons that landed on the mainland of the United States, killing several people in Oregon, and causing very little damage. The United States also imposed a press blockade on this, and the Japanese, not knowing the results of the balloon bombs, abandoned the operation after releasing 9,000 balloons.

balloons with bombs on them; There were also submarines with bombers, but before the submarines could reach the United States, Japan surrendered.

The balloon bomb, but the United States blocked the news very well, and Japan thought that it had no effect, so it was gone.

Wasn't the only attack on Pearl Harbor by aircraft carriers and submarines?

Because Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor has a lot to do with the United States, Japan is a small country, and all resources depend on other countries, and the United States has imposed economic sanctions on Japan, wanting to start a war with the United States and make the United States accept Japan's terms for peace talks

Because they wanted to expand their territory to become stronger in Japan, they started a war. Not to be outdone, the United States participated.

During World War II, why did Japan, which had already fallen into passivity, insist on launching the Pacific War?

Because Japan is too confident, their country's military power is indeed strong, but they can't afford to provoke the United States.

Because if they want to make a difference in the Pacific region, they will inevitably start a war with the United States, and sooner or later they will have to fight, and it is better to take the initiative to fight earlier.

Because Japan's strongest arm is actually the navy, they mistakenly believe that as long as the sneak attack is successful, the US military will be timid.

Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. It was only because Japan did not estimate that the United States was stronger than itself that it dared to launch the Pacific War to declare war on the United States, resulting in a loss of everything in one accident.

Because Japan's naval strength was indeed very strong at that time, Japan felt that it could win against the United States.
