For a invasion of the mainland to be credible, Japan would either have to end the war with china, or better yet, actually create the Co-prospe...
...very school teaches it a bit differently Yoshinori, or not at all. What I'd be interested in is how Japan teaches the history of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan.
