Operation Otsu

The Japanese-planned Republic of the Far East means the planned organization of a puppet state in the Soviet Far East during 1918-22 and the Pacific War period.

First attempt to found a client state in the Russian Far East (1918-22)

Japanese, Canadian and American forces intervened in the Russian Far East, and maintained control in there and in Eastern Siberia. Japanese forces also landed in North Sakhalin and Kamchatka.

Japanese, in 1917, supposed why "Russian Revolution" was the opportunity to seizing the Far East Territoire or less stablished of Puppet State. when occurred the Intervention, Japan envoy more of 70,000 or 72,500 soldiers at Russian Far East, for occupied the Transiberian line at west leaving to Chita

If stablished some "legitime" government with Kossack "Ataman" Semenov and Lieutenant Kalminov in Russian Far East territoire with alleguedpourpose of "Aid to Russian people". Japanese forces installing units in Ussuri and Amur Basins, East Baikal area, North Sakhalin and Kamchatka area, along of some control in East Chinese Railway in Manchuria.

In accord with Allied Siberian Command and Soviet Government if created the "Republic of Far East" with self government temporary in Verkhe-Undinsk in Baikal region.Alexander Krasnoschenkov(Aka Tobelson) how "Ambassador" of Soviet Government in such statein such time was born the socalled "Republic of Littoral" with capital in Vladivostok.inmediatelly,Japanese military chiefs approved such government how instrument against Soviets.

Japanese pretend to seizing these lands for convert in Northern provices of Mikado empire or less poses "allied countries" in area at favour of Japanese cause against communism threat.

Japanese Siberian Expedition 1918-1925

In 1918,Japan obtain why Entente Cordiale occupied Vladivostok amongst American(A.E.F.) Canadians(800), British(829), French(10,076), Italian(1,400), Chinese and Japanese (7,500 in first stages) under led of General Otani advanced until Baikal Lake, and other advance groups if penetrated inclusive in Eastern Urals area and Central Asia, along American and Japanese tecnicals making charge of Transiberian Railway from Vladivostok to Chita Area.

The May 11,the General Ohi,support these government, always no convert in Sovietic.himself making speech front at People Parliament meeting in Vladivostok:"Repeated he announced, why no permit the stablishment of any Communist government in regions in why having Japanese Troops detached".but Republic are supported by Vladivostok and recent independent formed Khabarovsk autorities.later both states, littoral and far east republics was merged to Soviets in 1925.

In other hand Japanese forces why at first times was ones 7,500 later raising to between 60,000,70,000 or 72,500 (in accord with different sources) for supported the Pro-Japanese regime of Cossack Ataman General Semeonoff and your aid General Kalminoff with adivising of Japanese General Ohi in Vladivostk,with objetive of eliminatedthe Communist danger in land. Japanese when seeing the born of Autonomous Statein Transbaikal in 1920,theirs treated to approved such government in your objetivesalso. General Ohi sayed at People Assembly "Repeatelly he announced, why if no permitth stablished of any Communist Government in lands were exist Japanese troops detached"

Japanese forces in period occupied Province Littoral or Maritime(where controlled Nikolayevsk sector, North Sakhalin and Kamchatka[until 1927]), the Vladivostok-Khabarovsk Railway line,Amur Province (were watching proper Khabarovsk and town later calling Konsomolsk) and poses important forces in Province Transbaikal(in East Baikal area) Irkutsk and Yeniseisk Governments amongst envoyed some expeditionary groups to East Ural and Central Asia also amongst the poses the virtual control of Ohkostk Sea and surrounded coasts for sometimes.

Moscow with some American support no delayed in provocated divisions in the Foreing Expeditionary Group, for finally retireing such group.but Japanese if maintained in here until 1922,and inverted ones 700,000,000,000 of US Dollars for attempt to taken such lands.later under American and British pressures, Japan debt to returned not only such lands, inclusive North Sakhalin was ceded in 1925 and later Kamchatka in 1927.

Japanese Planned client state in Republic of Far East (WW II)

The Emperor in 1907 stipulated the objective of hostilities with Russia would be the destruction of enemy ground forces in a decisive campaign in Manchuria (Clause 1); To execute the basic war plans prepared against Russia, the Japanese Army would be built up to a strength necessary to occupy the Maritime Province and Sakhalin Island, while at the same time securing Manchuria. the changes in operational-priority emphasis assigned by the Japanese Army alone; i.e.,anti-Russian, 1907-18 for again anti-Russian, after 1931.

In accord with Hakko Ichiu Geopolitical doctrines, between Japanese strategic planning for mainland Asia (1905-1940), also theirs ideed, in success of Siberian Invasion, the foundation of a political entity in Russian Far East.

This a Ideed "independent" state attempt to established in the Siberia east of Lake Baikal and Russian Far East on December 1941 or January 1942 It was Planned by the Kwantung Army for ideological and strategic reasons, as a "bulwark state" and "watchtower nation" between the USSR and the Japanese held territoires against Russian Communists influences.;with leading by White Russian chiefs Konstantin Vladimirovich Rodzaevsky and GeneralKislistin,with orders to establishing a "counterrevolutionaire anti Soviet" pro-Japanese movement and "new Asian order" government.

Directive Otsu or B

The annual operational plan were developed against the hypothetical foeSoviet Union (Operation OTSU or "B") was developed since 1931,derived from Japanese strategies during Russo-Japanese 1904-05 war and 1918-25 Japanese Siberian intervention.

The Army concentrated upon strengthening the defenses of Manchukuo, with a view toward the Soviet Union as the hypothetical primary enemy of Japan.

In the event of a war with the Soviet Union, military operations had originally been predicated upon a struggle for vital North Manchuria, in two major sectors: the plains region between Harbin and the Upper Sungari River (which flows between Hsinking and Harbin); and the flatlands between Taonan and Tsitsihar. In the early summer of 1933, however, the Soviet Army began to erect tochka [pillbox] positions along the frontiers, opposite the border forts which the Kwantung Army then proceeded to build. Under the circumstances, Japanese operational planning was revised in 1934, whereby the opening rounds of a hypothetical war with the U.S.S.R. were contemplated in the neighborhood of the Manchurian frontiers.

While continuing the present policies of taking strict precautions and strengthening defensive posture vs. the Soviet Union, Japan will do her best to PReVENT war with Russia. In the event that the United States and the U.S.S.R. in concert-or the Soviets alone-challenge Japan to war, the Soviet Far Eastern Air, Land and Sea Forces will be knocked out as soon as possible. Required forces will be dispatched from both China and the Japanese homeland, without losing the chance.

Japanese Siberian Operation Plannings in 1934

In the event of a war with the Soviet Union, military operations had originally been predicated upon a struggle for vital North Manchuria, in two major sectors: the plains region between Harbin and the Upper Sungari River (which flows between Hsinking and Harbin); and the flatlands between Taonan and Tsitsihar.

Under the circumstances, Japanese operational planning was revised in 1934,whereby the opening rounds of a hypothetical war with the U.S.S.R. were contemplated in the neighborhood of the Manchurian frontiers.

• in revision in 1934 the plan debt a mobilizable force of 30 fully equipped ground divisions, some 24 were earmarked for commitment to operations against the U.S.S.R.in other hand Great importance was to be attached to air operations from the very outset of war.

Japanese forces should seek to wage battle on Soviet soil from the beginning of hostilities with The Primary axis of offensive operations should be eastward from Manchuria joining with Submarine bases and bomber aircraft sites aimed at Japanmust be wiped out at the beginning.

After the success of the eastward operations, forces should be deployed for an offensive northward, the objective being the Lake Baikal district.

It should be noted that the idea of launching an eastern offensive was first conceived at the time of this new plan of 1934.

Japanese plans for Siberian Invasion in 1937

Three years later, in 1937 the Japanese operational planning "Otsu or B" was again revised:

• At the very commencement of a war, the forces stationed in Manchuria will mount an offensive against the Soviet Union; reinforcements thereafter dispatched from the homeland will join in the attack. This plan differed from its predecessor, which had called for an offensive only after the reinforcements had arrived in Manchuria.

• After successfully concluding the eastern offensive, Japanese forces should not immediately drive toward the Lake Baikal region, but should instead consolidate along the Hsingan Mountain Range and prepare for subsequent operations.

• Operational planning against the U.S.S.R. must attach prime importance to action against both China and Soviet Russia.

Japanese Plans against Siberia in 1939

• later in 1939 The General Staff's First Bureau (Operations) nevertheless paidno heed to these opinions. As before, it adhered to the policy of offensive operations in the event of war with the Soviet Union. In the operations plandrawn up in 1939, the axes of Kwantung Army offensive operations were alteredto embrace offensives launched simultaneously eastward and northward

(from the Heiho district) also introduced the propose to figthing in proper Soviet Siberian territoire.

The Imperial Conference on July 2,1941

At the Imperial Conference held on July 2, 1941, the following policies were decided upon: (1) Do not intervene in the Russo-German War; (2) Proceed with prudent diplomatic negotiations while consolidating secret preparations against the U.S.S.R.; (3) If the Russo-German War turns out favorably for Japan, settle the Northern Problem by force and maintain stability in the north. Because of these decisions, which resulted from the outbreak of the Russo-German War, the Chungking operation had to be suspended.

The Army High Command had traditionally strong tendencies of watchfulness toward the Soviet Union. There thus arose criticism that the settlement of the China Incident by force had been incomplete because Japan was nailed down by Russia. At the root of the High Command's attitude toward the U.S.S.R. lay the following considerations: Conflict between Japan and Russia wasjust a matter of time. It was taboo for Japan to demonstrate weakness toward the Soviet Union. Armaments were therefore the only means of stabilizing matters with Russia.

Mention has already been made that the Japanese Army had originally utilized the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese Neutrality Pact to contemplate the launching of an offensive against Chungking, by diverting part of the Kwantung Army from Manchuria to China. These plans had had to be abandoned, and the "Kwantung Army Special Maneuvers (KANTOKUEN) were instead instituted, with a view toward awaiting a good chance of participating in the war against the Soviet Union.

Japanese observations of Red Army countermeasures

In devising operational plans against the U.S.S.R., the hypothetical movements of the Soviet Far Eastern Army were a major consideration. The Japanese Army General Staff made the following estimate of the situation: The Soviets could be expected to commit 55-60 divisions for the Far Eastern operations (local divisions and newest reinforcements). They would launchsimultaneous, converging offensives from the east, north, and west of Manchuria. The enemy would strive to cut off communications between the Japanese homeland and the Asiatic Continent.

The Kantokuen Plan(1941)

After the Imperial Conference of July 2,Higth Command implemented the newpolicy toward the Soviet Union by commencing the large-scale reinforcement of the Kwantung Army.in that period the Japanese Higth Command was informed why Germany and Soviet Union was meeting already of 2,000,000,000 of Soldiers around the frontiers and lasts poses in Ukraine ones 4,500 aircraft.

Mention has already been made that the Japanese Army had originally utilized the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese Neutrality Pact to contemplate the launching of an offensive against Chungking, by diverting part of the Kwantung Army from Manchuria to China. These plans had had to be abandoned, and the "Kwantung Army Special Maneuvers (KANTOKUEN) were instead instituted, with a view toward awaiting a good chance of participating in the war against the Soviet Union.

To keep the true reasons secret, the build-up was called the "Special Maneuvers of the Kwantung Army," or KANTOKUEN for short. The 400,600 troops in the Kwantung Army were suddenly stepped up to over 700,000, and some billion Yen in military funds were expended only upon KANTOKUEN.such maneuvers was realizing during July-August 1941,at time when the Red Army was desperately struggling against German Invasion were perceivedas real threats: assessments that the U.S.S.R. would have beeb defeated hadthe Japanese attacked at this time, retrospectivelly frightened the Sovietgovernment and helped build the image of a treacherous Japan as well.

By the spring of 1941,when the lion's share of the first-phase southern operations should be completed, the Indochina Occupation it was hoped, for that would be the best time for the Japanese Army to carry out operations in the north vs. the U.S.S.R. (It was estimated that the first-phase operations would last AbOUT five months.)

The Kantokuen Plan was planeed in next form, when finalizing the occupationof Indochina, for poses bases for next southern operations at same time was previously envoyed some reinforcements from Japan and China, awaiting the Sovietdefeating.the Japanese Strike against Soviet Union cominzed when German troopscrosed or less arriving to Volga River, at east Moscow, during 30-31 July.ifbeliveing why how consequence of Rusian falling the western democracies and United States stayed more preocupied for next invasion to England, how launchered at one War on Far East and Japanese awaiting taken of Southern lands without resistance.for all, cuasy inmediatelly after imperial conference, the Japanese Armyenvoyed one secret order for general mobilization and the central governmentpresent one General mobilization Law for instead the War State in nation.

The reinforcements was envoyed to Manchukuo and Indochina, last finally occupied during July 30,1941.

The "Special Maneuvers" consisted of preparations for the use of force against the Soviet Union, based upon the outlook that the Russo-German War might take a rapidly favorable turn for Germany. KANTOKUEN, indeed, can be compared to running toward a bus stop in order not to miss the bus. In the event that force was used against the U.S.S.R., the operational plan of 1939 was scheduled to go into effect, whereby simultaneous offensives were to be mounted toward the north and the east from Manchuria.

Japanese desires to return at negotiations meetings with United States after of your Siberian campaign why finalizing in December 1941,for returning against Southern areas from Indochina. At another Imperial Conference, on September 6,the commencement of preparations for the southern operations was determined. As a consequence of this decision, the critical winter problem facing the Kwantung Army was solved after September: part of the forces in Manchuria were to be diverted to the southern operations. Thus the so-called "SpecialManeuvers" did play an important role in "[...] two birds with one stone." Military preparations against both the U.S.S.R. and the southern areas had been stepped up and reinforced.

judging from such factors as national strength and geographical location. Besides, the Soviet Army had recovered from its setbacks in the war with Germany and had invincibly regained its feet now that winter (the Russians'most critical season) was over.

The Original Kantokuen Plan was demand the Russian collapse at Germans handscuasi inmediatelly Japanese forces finalized the Indochina occupation, foryours returned against Soviet rearguard;Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoye ifwas disacord with any strike against Democracies before at Soviet was conquests previously.

In Manchuria, preparations were to be made for co-operation, at any time, with the ProgresS of the German Army. Japanese no expect any prolongedand great scale war on Siberia;believing why Soviet Army stayed weaknessyour force for constant retireing of troops for making resistance at victorious German advance and very demoralized for defeat of Stalin Government, are was easy prey of Japanese Army accompanied by White Russiananticomunists and fascist leaders, charged of composed one new governmentin area along the Japanese forces, buriats and mongol supporters in subsequents operations against Soviets and your mongol allieds in Outer Mongolia andBuriat lands, amongst the Zionists Jewish Manchu supporters colaboredwith Japanese in actions during enter in Birobidjan territoire also.

The excuse for strike having was why Soviet Union are one Chaos howconsequence of [...] invasion, for all Japan if poses debt to maintain the "Order" in Siberia

the real motif of Japanese having the desire of taken of Russian Far Eastterritoire, before at subsequent [...] dominion with own "puppet" regimealso prevent the United States (how occued during 1918-25 period) supportedat any Soviet Government refugee in Russian Far East why permit the Americanplanes poses bases in Vladivostok and other points for eased bombing Tokyo.

If the interests for Japanese was heavy oposed at American envoy of war materialat Vladivostok, for feared why these same material not only for Russians without American pilots.

Toward autumn of 1941, the Army High Command formulated certain estimates of the internationalsituation. Concerning the outcome of the Russo-German War, the view prevailed that things would turn out favorably for Germany. Although the lightning war which [...] had planned (of six weeks' duration) had not materialized, the Soviet Army had suffered undeniably critical losses at the outset of hostilities. The Germans still possessed so much military power that they could yet smash the Soviet Army.

Most of the units employed in Russian defeat in Siberia until December 1941when finalized these operations were to be returned to the homeland, while a portion would be diverted to Manchuria and China, for preparing the Southern offensive during spring 1942.

Japanese analizes of U.S-Soviet relations in 1942-43

In 1942-43 American aid to the U.S.S.R. grew very marked. The number of planes which crossed the Bering Strait exceeded an average of about 200 per month, while the quantity of machinery and fuel unloaded in the harbor of Vladivostok appeared to be reaching approximately 500,000 tons a month. Judging from these observations, IGHQ feared that U.S.- Soviet relations had become very intimate and that the Americans would therefore, in all probability, be renting air bases in Soviet Far Eastern territory. Thence they could launch attacks against Japan-a threat to which constant attention was paid by Imperial General Headquarters, if was other allegued motif for cominzed any operation againsts Soviets in Siberia.

Japanese observation of 1941-42 Soviet Stregth in Siberia

The Army High Command estimated that the strength of the Soviet Far East Army (east of Lake Baikal) before the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 totalled some 800,000 troops, built around:

• 23 infantry divisions
• 1,000 planes
• 1,000 tanks
• 105 submarines

In 1942 the Soviets' watch on Japan grew stricter. While the ground was still frozen solidly, for example, the Soviet Far Eastern Army vigorously reinforced its border positions. The number of area army headquarters was also increased, thus completing the Russians' emergency setup.

Great expectations were therefore held concerning the Germans' summer offensive slated to commence in 1942. The Russians had transferred several divisions from the Far East to the European battlefields, but the U.S.S.R. would never leave Siberia defenseless, even if the war with Germany turned out badly for her.

Ambassador Oshima states that the German request for Japan to enter the war against Russia (July 1942) was not repeated, the one proposal being turned down because Japan claimed that her military forces were "barely sufficient for the China and Pacific theaters."

After Japanese forces landed in the Attu area, the Soviets began to strengthen the defenses of Kamchatka Peninsula and northern Sakhalin. When the Germans commenced their summer offensive, the Russians moved troops westward to the European battlefront, from about July. By the end of the year they had dispatched at least six divisions. Nevertheless they never failed to plug gaps caused by the transfer of troops to the west; new army corps were created in every case.

Strategies and tactics in Japanese plans of Siberian Invasion

The lines of strategies and tactics in Japanese plans to siberian invasion basically if after the Indochina occupation, with somereinforcements from Japan proper, the Imperial forces debt to realizing the next operations:

• Naval bombardments preceded the subsequent disembarcs from Shumushuand Paramushiro in Kamchatka, for occupied Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskyother forces from Karafuto enter in North Sakhalin and realizing somelandings in Alexandrovsk and Ohka;optionally another forces landed inKommadorsky islands and Anadyr in North Pacific area.

• As similar naval operations from Hokkaido and North Honshu againstNikolayevsk, Soviet Bay, and Vladivostok.some naval forces navigatedinside of Amur River against Konsomolsk and striking Khabarovsk.

• Later if followed with landings for occuping Ohkostk and Nagaevo;another option was possibly occupation of Southeast Yakustk area also

• Aerial operations was leaving against Petropavlovsk, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Konsomolsk, Blagoveschesk, Chita, Ulan-Ude and possibly Ulan-Bator and Irkustk.the principal points Transiberian (Vladivostok/Ulan-Ude and/or Irkustk-Krasnoyarsk lines) and Baikal-Amur lines (incomplete in period) was taken with airborne or paratrooper forces

• Land operations was simultaneous leaving against Khabarovsk, Birobidjanand Blagoveschensk with massive artillery strikes and entering infantryaccompained with Armored forces.at same time other forces advancefrom East Outer Mongolia to occupied Ulan Bator.

• Other advances was the enter in West Outer Mongolia, along theland incursion at Irkustk area for taken the Transiberian andBaikal-Amur link.

• another optative operation implied the finalizing theoccupation of West Outer Mongolia, enter in Tannu-Tuva andinvasion at Krasnoyarsk how springboard of possibly operation against Novosibirsk and Central Asia.

Japanese observations over nature of Siberian front

Although the Kwantung Army had been reinforced, the Russo-German War-about which the Japanese Army had held such great expectations-was not turning out favorably for Germany, despite [...]'s boasts. A serious problem consequently demanded resolution: How could the beefed-up Kwantung Army pull through the rigorous cold of a Manchurian winter?

By their very nature, armaments must be perfectly adapted to combat methods and to battlefield topography; the optimum application of military force cannot otherwise be manifested.

There was thus a strong requirement that operations and armaments be linked together. In the Japanese Army, however, military materiel was geared to hypothetical mobile operations against the Soviet Union. This implied fighting on the Continent, in severe cold, amidst sparse population, and with inconvenient transportation facilities. Operations of such a type were characterized By Light weapons, large-scale logistical systems, and a plethora of horses.

After the finish of Japanese operations in Siberia

If war broke out with the Soviet Union, a most important problem would arise: How to terminate hostilities? The General Staff feared that Russian territory was so boundless that Japan would be unable to deal a finishing blow to the enemy.

Within the Army, the prevailing and popular opinion concerning the solution to this problem was to employ stratagem (subversion)simultaneously with military operations-as Colonel Akashi had so successfully done during the Russo-Japanese War.

The Army therefore placed as much importance upon "political sabotage" as it did upon field operations, in planning for hypothetical operations againstthe Soviet Union. Researches were pursued and preparations laid for implementing certain aspects of the over-all program.

Possibly Japanese administrative division of Siberian occupied lands

Japanese administration was possibly decided to convert the next conquest Siberian lands in next political divisions:

• Outer Manchuria: (Amur, North Sakhalin and Maritime) (ancient Khabarovsk and Blagoveschensk) was presumably in New White Russian anti Soviet Far East Republic under manage of Russian anticomunistleaders, possibly returned at Manchukuo how your coastal provinces or in lastinstance was managed directly how another coastal Kens how Chosen, but Russiannatives under Japanese rule.

• Occupied and unified Mongolia: (as Inner and Outer) convert in unified Republic of Mengjiang with Japanese support

• Birobidjan:was pretend to convert in one Jewish autonomous territoire in newest conqests lands or was possibly integrated to Zionists Jewish administration from Harbin with Japanese guidance

• Yakustk:in case of occupation in territoire, this convert in another autonomous territoire with local administration under Japanese support also.

• Buriat territoire: (ancient Chita-Ulan Ude) one "independent State" Buriat with your own buriat pro-Japanese servers under Japanese control or possibly unified under Mengjiangstate.

• Irkustk and Krasnoyarsk:in one pretend advance, was possibly why these lands if convert inJapanese military-controlled frontier territoire for watching at Soviets in land, future springboard for next operations against Novosibirsk and Central Asiaor any more probably other White Russian Pro-Japanese Country under more Japanese stric military control debt at your nearest of Soviets also.

Political Structure on Independent State in Russian Far East

Although nominally "independent", it was ideed heavy managed by Japanese Army.After the pretend Russian defeat in Soviet Far East, on December 1941 the all-newest Far Eastern Republic was enter into the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere,pro-Japanese alliance.other thing analized if the Far Eastern Republic was merged into Manchukuo Empire (this is Manchu ancestors lands) or treated how one "sovereing nation".

It suppose occupied the territory of:

• modern Chita Oblast,
• Amur Oblast,
• Khabarovsk Krai,
• Primorsky Krai of Russia
• (was: Transbaikal, Amur, and Primorsky oblasts).

The capital of these pretend state was Khabarovsk, orVladivostok; the North Sakhalin Oblast (convert in ken) if annexed under Japanese direct control inside of Karafuto administration.

Japanese planners discused if renamed these lands with ancient Chinese or other ancient names how:

• "Hulun" in Amur area
• "East Tartary" or "Littoral" in Primorsky in provinces

and some cities how:

• "Transbaikal"(for Chita-Ulan ude)
• "Haishenwei"(for Vladivostok)
• "Hailanpao"(for Blagoveschensk)
• "Gungking Cheng" (for Konsomolsk),
• "Tetyukhe"(for Dalnegorsk)
• "Bailim"(for Khabarovks)
• "Miaoyie" or "Fuyiori"(for Nikolayevsk)
• "Deleng"
• and other similar oldest toponymus

Japanese Army allegued interests in Soviet Siberian land

Japanese Army (with roots of Chosu Clan) allegued why your own ancestors most ancient proceeded from Amur Valley, Hulun and East Tartary (Outer Manchuria), Inner Manchuria and Kamchatka was stay more interested in recover the motherland of your "fathers" for integrated in the own direct dominion.inclusive with orders of "Strike North Group" as Army thought group, Japanese scientists and historians realizing some archeological works in Manchuria and North Korean area in finding some archeological evidence at respect;for support the propose of convert the ancient Russian Far East in one new Japanese land territoire under Japanese Army control how Chosen, Kwantung arrended territoire or Karafuto, for exploit your peoples and natural resources in your benefict and later served how Springboard in future actions in North Asian mainland amongsts of watchtower of Soviets inland.

In other hand, the "local" Japanese stablishment related at Kangde Emperor of Manchukuo why if possibly Imperial forces realizing some operations for return the Manchu ancestors lands to Manchukuo how newest coastal provinces;at same time Kwantung Army was promised at White Russians Fascists leaders the "liberation" from bad Soviet hands of your "legitime territoires" for stablished one new anti-comunists and pro-Japanese reformed government. with capital in Khabarovsk, Vladivostok or was possibly Irkusts.at Manchu Jews the Kwantung Army was promised also the administration of Birobidjan territoire with your advise

Japanese was promised also at Mongols and Buriats in similar terms the promptly return of your "legimite lands" for your own managed with Japanese aid.

Ransons for creation of "Far East Republic"

Allegued ransons for creation of mentioned "country":

• The excuse for such political entity are why at Japan poses debt to establish "order" in Siberia, debt at "chaos" provoked by suppose Soviet defeating for victorious [...] forces in European Eastern Front

• Prevent eventual American support to pretend Sovietdemoralized Government, finding refugee in these territory also prevent the American Air units stablished bases in Vladivostok for realizing air strikes against Tokyo.

• For solved the exess of Japanese population in interest to stablishing and developed such lands and the use of natural resources in benefict of local Japanese private and Government Zaibatsus

• Strategic interest as "springboard", for the next anti-Stalinist operations in nearest Siberia,and Outer Mongolia lands.

• Japanese commanders, considered at Red Army detachment in Far East, how "easy prey" under these situation, theirs expected your total defeating in December 1941.

• Interest of taken territoire before at German dominion of Siberia for media or own Puppet government

Japanese receiving information about Germany and Soviet Union detached in your frontiers 2,000,000,000 of soldiers in both sides and last poses ones 4,500 aircraft in Ukraine,previously at cominzed of Barbarrosa Operation.

These plans, originally ideed during 1929-1939 Russo-Japanese Incidents, more later revised in 1941-1942 period, during European Eastern Front fight (Operation Barbarossa), for less needed of Wehrmacht forces arriving to Volga river at finish of July 1941, time chosen for commenced operations in area, The "Kantouken Plan" or "Othsu or B Operation" the Kwantung Army operation against Soviets in Siberia.
