無策続けば米国からの三下り半尖閣危機
産経新聞10月16日(土)22時49分配信
《公の場で中国を批判する発言は厳に慎め》
那覇地検が９月24日、尖閣諸島沖でおきだ中国漁船衝突事件で、逮捕した中国人船長の釈放を発表した直後、全国の自衛隊部隊に指示が下った。
防衛相、北沢俊美は防衛省幹部らに、年末に策定する｢防衛計画の大綱｣に盛り込む予定の離島防衛強化について尖閣問題に絡めて議論しないよう伝えてもいる。
むろん、いたずらに相手を刺激することはないが、民主党政権は現実を直視するのを避けているようにみえる。しかし、現場の自衛官たちは迫り来る中国の姿を肌で感じているのだ。
今月６日。東シナ海にある平湖(中国名)ガス田付近で、日中中間線をはさんで海上自衛隊の護衛艦と中国海軍のフリゲート艦が対峙(たいじ)した。
【フォト「遠くそびゆる魚釣島などと刻まれている魚釣島の石碑
｢現場｣にいたのは２隻だけではなく、米海軍音響測定艦インペッカブルの姿もあった。同艦は潜水艦のスクリュー音を収集することを主な任務にしており、いまでは｢対中監視に特化した艦艇｣(防衛省幹部)といえる。 ２００９年３月、南シナ海の公海で漁船を含む中国側船舶に包囲されたこともあった。
先月中旬には青森県三沢基地に米空軍最大の爆撃機B52Hが降り立った。同下旬には神奈川県横須賀基地に米海軍最大級の排水量を誇るオハイオ級原子力潜水艦ミシガンが入港した。
これらの米軍の行動は、尖閣事件で一段とはっきりした中国の脅威に対して、米国が日本との協力関係を強化しようとしていることの証左である。米国務長官、ヒラリー･クリントンが先月の外相、前原誠司との会談で、日本防衛義務を定めた日米安保条約第５条の尖閣諸島への｢適用｣を明言したのも同じ理屈だ。
もっとも、拓殖大大学院教授の森本敏は日本に楽観論が広まるのを戒める。
｢適用範囲と言つただけで、発動するか否かは日本の覚悟次第だ｣
覚悟を示すとは、｢体を張る腹づもり｣(前原)などと、ただ空手形を切ることではない。
前防衛政務官、長島昭久は中国が尖閣問題で攻勢を強めている理由について｢海洋戦略の一環だ｣と指摘する。尖閣を手中に収めれば、沖縄からフィリピンに至る第1列島線を越えて、米空母機動部隊が中国側に進入するのを阻止する｢接近阻止(アンチアクセス)｣戦略を確かなものにできるからだ。中国の戦略を踏まえれば対抗策は自明だ。日米同盟を基軸にした離島防衛の強化にほかならない。防衛上の空白地域となっている与那国島などの先島諸島への自衛隊配備について検討を加速させる必要がある。
海上民兵の乗った｢漁船｣の監視には、大型無人偵察機グローバルホークの導入も有効だ。米空軍は９月、西太平洋地域では初めて同機をグァムに配備した。長島は日米の情報共有強化という点でも導入には効用があると説明する。
防衛研究所所員の斉藤良は｢中国が北米、南米の『市場』にアクセスするために通る必要がある対馬海峡や薩南諸島、琉球諸島に存在する海峡｣に注目する。沖縄本島と宮古島の間の｢宮古海峡｣などでの日米共同演習は、中国に対する｢接近阻止｣戦略となるわけだ。
｢大統領に何か手みやげはあるのか｣
先月、来日した米元国防副次官、リチャード･ローレスは民主党議員と都内で会った際、１１月の米大統領、バラク･オバマの訪日に話が及ぶと、詰問口調になった。ローレスはブッシュ前政権下で在日米軍再編の米側責任者を務め、鳩山由紀夫前政権発足後｢同盟関係が脆弱(ぜいじゃく)になっている｣と警鐘を鳴らしてきた。
鳩山はインド洋での海上自衛隊による給油活動を中止。代わりに5年で５０億ドル(約４千億円)のアフガニスタン復興支援を決めた。カネで済ます｢小切手外交｣の復活だ。対照的に韓国は7月、約2年半ぶりにアフガンへの再派兵に踏み切った。ローレスには日本が自ら汗を流すことなく、米国に依存しようとしているようにみえる。昨秋、ローレスらがまとめた報告書｢同盟が消える日｣(邦題)は日本の主体性の欠如を厳しく問うている。
米軍普天間飛行場(沖縄県宜野湾(ぎのわん)市)の移設問題で広げた同盟の傷口を放置し、対中戦略でも無為無策を続ければ、日本は米国から｢三くだり半｣を突きつけられかねない。(敬称略)

Letter of Divorce from U.S. if Lack of Policy Continues, Senkaku Crisis
Sankei Shimbun 10:49 p.m., Sat., Oct. 16th
Strict Discretion on Public Criticism of China
On September 24, immediately after the release of the Chinese fishing ship captain who was arrested for the collision in the waters off the Senkaku Islands was announced, the Naha Public Prosecutor's Office issued an order to all Self-Defense Force units. Minister of Defense Toshimi Kitazawa told MOD officials not to let the Senkaku Islands issue affect the National Defense Program Outline—which incorporates strengthened defense of outlying islands—that is to be formulated by the end of the year.

Of course I don't mean to needlessly provoke my opponents, but it seems that the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) government is trying to ignore reality. However, SDF members out in the field can feel China's looming presence on their skin.
Look back to October 6. Near the Chunxiao gas field (Chinese name; called the Shirakaba gas field in Japan), a Marine Self-Defense Force (MSDF) vessel crossed the Japan-China demarcation line confronted a Chinese naval frigate.
There were not only two ships at the scene: the U.S. Navy's ocean surveillance ship, the Impeccable, was also there. Its main duty is to listen for the sound of submarine propellers. Nowadays it is what MOD officials call "a military vessel specializing in conducting surveillance on China." In March 2009, it was surrounded by Chinese ships (including trawlers) in international waters in the South China Sea.
In mid-September, a B-52H, the U.S. Air Force's largest bomber, landed at Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture. Later in the month, the Ohio class nuclear submarine Michigan, which boasts the largest water displacement in the U.S. Navy, entered port at Yokosuka Navy Base in Kanagawa Prefecture.
These U.S. military movements are evidence that America is strengthening its cooperative relationship with Japan in response to the Chinese threat that became more evident with the Senkaku Islands incident. As further proof, in talks last month between U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Minister of Foreign Affairs Seiji Maehara, they declared that the Senkaku Islands are "applicable" under Article 5 of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan that determines Japan's defense obligations.
Professor Satoshi Morimoto of Takushoku University warns most strongly against rising optimism about Japan.
"They only stated the scope of applicability. Whether that translates into action depends on Japan's preparedness."
Among the things demonstrating that preparedness is Maehara's mentioning of the "intent to lay lives on the line," so it is not just a bunch of hot air.
Former Parliamentary Secretary for Defense Akihisa Nagashima points out that the reason for China's increasingly aggressive position on the Senkaku Islands issue is that "it is part of its naval strategy." If China can take possession of the Senkakus, then it can cross the first island chain from Okinawa to the Philippines and execute a sure "anti-access" strategy to prevent U.S. carrier battle groups from penetrating. The way to counter the Chinese strategy is clear. We must strengthen defense of outlying islands based on the U.S.-Japan alliance. We need to accelerate considerations of deploying the SDF to the Sakishima Islands, such as Yonaguni Island, which are openings in our defenses.
Introducing the Global Hawk, a large unmanned reconnaissance plane, would also be effective for surveillance of "trawlers" carrying maritime militia. The USAF deployed it to the West Pacific for the first time when it was sent to Guam in September. Nagashima explains that introducing the aircraft would also be effective at improving information sharing between the U.S. and Japan.
According to National Institute for Defense Studies researcher Ryo Saito, "China is focusing its attention on the Korea Strait and channels in the Satsunan and Ryukyu Islands as a routes that it needs for accessing 'markets' in North and South America. Joint U.S.-Japan exercises in the 'Miyako Strait' between the main island of Okinawa and Miyakojima are an 'anti-access' strategy against China."
"Is there a gift for the president?"
Last month, when former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Lawless met with DJP lawmakers in Tokyo during his visit to Japan, his tone turned accusatory as the discussion touched on U.S. President Barack Obama's November visit to the country. Under the Bush administration, Lawless was responsible for the American side in the realignment of U.S. forces in Japan. After the previous government of Yukio Hatoyama was established, he sounded the alarm on the fragility of the alliance relationship .
Hatoyama terminated the MSDF's refueling activities in the Indian Ocean. In exchange he decided to offer US$5 billion (about JPY 400 billion) for Afghanistan reconstruction assistance. It was revival of using money for "checkbook diplomacy." Contrastingly, South Korea embarked on resending troops to Afghanistan for the first time in about two-and-a-half years in July. To Lawless, is seems like Japan is not doing any of the hard work itself and is relying on the U.S. In a book last fall entitled Managing Unmet Expectations, he severely accuses Japan lacking independence.
If we neglect the wounds to the alliance opened by the issue or relocating Futenma Air Base in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture and continue to lack a strategy towards China, then the U.S. will thrust a "letter of divorce" into Japan's hands. (Anonymous) | Japanese to English: Airport News Japan Article

仙台空港、4月中に再開へ−不眠不休の復旧作業で民間機の運航可能に
震災被害で閉鎖中の仙台空港（宮城県名取市）が4月13日、再開した。
運航便数、空港設備、旅客サービスなどは限定的となるが、被災地と全国を結ぶ航空輸送の拠点として「早く開けることが大事」（国土交通省）として、羽田と大阪（伊丹）線に民間機の運航を復活させた。
同空港は3月11日の東日本大震災による大津波でほぼ水没し、壊滅的な被害を受けた。しかし米海兵隊らを中心にした復旧チームがすぐに作業に着手。16日には土砂とがれきに覆われた滑走路の半分にあたる1,500メートルが限定的に機能を回復し、翌17日より米軍と自衛隊などの200機以上の救援機が発着している。現在は3,000メートルの滑走路と施設の一部も復旧。一時的に米軍に委ねていた航空管制業務も3月末に空港側に戻り、民間機運航再開へのめどがついていた。
米軍の復旧作業チーム責任者のロバート・ゲルブラクト大尉が「（現場到着時は）まるで1,000年間放置されていた空港の遺跡のようだった」と語った仙台空港が驚異的なスピードで今月中に再開することは、同チームの不眠不休の作業の結果。米軍内でも「これまでに培った緊急時の空港設備の整備・復旧技術のたまもの」と評価されているという。
同空港の復旧により東日本大震災で被災した東北地方の空港はすべて業務を再開することになる。 | Translation - English
Tireless Efforts Reopened Sendai Airport to Civilian Aircraft
Sendai Airport in Natori, Miyagi Prefecture, which was closed due to the Tohoku Pacific Earthquake and ensuing tsunami, reopened on April 13.
Although flight volume, airport facilities and traveler services are limited, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has made the prompt reopening of the airport as an air transport hub connecting the stricken area with the rest of Japan a top priority.
The airport was submerged and catastrophically damaged by the giant tsunami on March 11. However, U.S. Marines have led a cleanup team that began work right away. On the 16th, half of the 3,000-meter runway that was covered in dirt and rubble was brought back to limited functionality, allowing over 200 landings and takeoffs by U.S. military and Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) rescue aircraft. As of the time this article was written, the entire runway and some facilities have been restored to operational status. The U.S. military was tasked with temporarily operating the control tower, which was handed back over at the end of March with the goal of reopening the airport to civilian aircraft.
"It looked like if you had left an airport alone for 1,000 years," said Captain Robert Gerbract, who was in charge of the U.S. cleanup effort upon arrival. The astounding speed of Sendai Airport's reopening this month is a result of his team's relentless efforts. U.S. military officials have also praised the team's achievements in using the skills they have developed to repair and cleanup the airport's facilities in this time of emergency.
The restoration of Sendai Airport will mean that all airports in the Tohoku region will be operational for the first time since the Tohoku Pacific Earthquake struck. | Japanese to English: Defense News Article

Introduction of GH Promoted to Upgrade High-Altitude, Broad-Area ISR
ASDF Intel Gathering and ACW Upgrades, Additional AWACS Improvements
Importance is being placed on improving aircraft control and warning (AC&W) and airborne early warning (AEW) functions as well as strengthening and building on the ISR system to handle the modernization of the Air Self-Defense Force's (ASDF) operational aircraft and the increasing number of missions they are handling. In response, improved airborne warning and control system (AWACS) capabilities including satellite communications (SATCOM) equipment installation as well as additional mission computer upgrades (MCU) and electronic support measures (ESM) for more advanced operational functionality are likely during the Mid-Term Defense Program beginning in 2011. These would follow currently in-progress Radar Service Improvement Program (RSIP) upgrades that are mainly improving radar system capabilities of an E-767 AWACS squadron of 4 aircraft. This will also require endowing joint operational capability by ensuring interoperability with the U.S. military's E-3 AWACS Block 40/45. Furthermore, the ASDF E-2C AEW squadron of 13 aircraft began an upgrade to the Hawkeye (HE) 2000 configuration at the end of the Mid-Term Defense Program beginning in 2001, which will be completed this fiscal year. This will improve low-altitude and maritime AEW mission capabilities, but considerations will likely be made on whether to adopt the new E-2D with greater capabilities (which will enter initial operational capability [IOC] with the U.S. Navy this year) further on in the future. While the 767 AEW&C (airborne early warning and control) developed under U.S. Air Force supervision (and adopted by the Australian and Turkish air forces) may also be introduced, the RQ-4 Global Hawk (GH) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system (a high-altitude, long-endurance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance [ISR] system covering broad areas in use by the USAF), whose introduction is required, has proven its exceptional ability to handle ISR missions since the USAF has employed the GH in surveying areas stricken by the recent Tohoku Pacific Earthquake and offered the results of data collected to the Japanese government as part of the United States' disaster relief and assistance. The ASDF has been considering plans with a focus on introducing the GH for a number of years, and now there is greater impetus to do so. Operational upgrades to the ASDF's warning and surveillance, AC&W and intelligence collection will strongly emphasize aerial defense organization maintenance and operation while the USAF is asking the ASDF to introduce and outfit the GH to build and upgrade its global ISR network, so attention will be on how the ASDF responds during the Mid-Term Defense Program beginning in 2011. The 2010 National Defense Program Guidelines and the Mid-Term Defense Program beginning in 2011 both point out the importance of continuous surveillance. The GH is expected to be introduced and maintained in the near future to handle the demand for early acquisition of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to help maintain a Dynamic Defense Capability. This includes intelligence collection capabilities such as aerial and maritime warning and surveillance of the mainland and outlying islands, ballistic missile warning and surveillance, Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) and disaster surveillance. Hence, the Ministry of Defense (MOD) has pointed out the necessity of adopting the GH after government agencies have praised the information collected with the system as part of the U.S. military's assistance following the large-scale disaster in the Tohoku region, creating what seems to be a greater opportunity for the ministry to get an early decision on the GH's adoption.
Upgrading the ASDF's warning/surveillance and intelligence collection is an extremely important part of upgrading and modernizing operational capabilities such as air combat, ballistic missile defense (BMD), transport as well as search and rescue operations. AC&W/AEC and ISR organizational upgrades (which until now include modernization of the E-767 AWACS, improvements and upgrades to the E-2C AEW system, in addition to continued modernization and replacing of radar sites with improved equipment for the Japan Air Defense Ground Environment [JADGE] ground-based automatic aerial control/command and warning/surveillance system) are projects that need to be implemented on a continual basis. The modernization project to replace the RF-4E with the more advanced and vastly superior RF-15 in order to improve reconnaissance capabilities has experienced defects in equipped sensors and systems, making it very likely that the RF-15 program will be reviewed or canceled. On the other hand, the next-generation program for additional upgrades to the E-767 AWACS' functions will take shape while promoting the introduction of the GH will attract interest. The GH Block 30 model is seen as the leading candidate for adoption by the ASDF, but the USAF's new RQ-4 Global Hawk high-altitude UAV began full-fledged operations at Beale Air Force Base in California this April. In Initial Operational Capabilities (IOC) testing on the new Block 30 that ended in December, six Block 30s and one Block 20 loaded with new sensors such as electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) cameras as well as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) were added. One of these Block 30s operated a signals intelligence (SIGINT) sensor called the Airborne Signals Intelligence Payload (ASIP). The USAF is expected to begin using the ASIP in 2013 and it plans to receive delivery of forty-two GH Block 30 aircraft possessing SIGINT collection capabilities. Furthermore, the USAF will receive delivery of twenty-two Block 40 models equipped with Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) radar capable of providing high-resolution SAR images and displaying moving ground targets. In addition, six Block 20s will be delivered loaded with cameras, radar and a communications relay node called the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN). | Japanese to English: Dynasty Warriors Online

As the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty draws near, the land is thrown into chaos by multiple calamities and incompetent governance, bringing hardship unto lives of the empire's people.
"I am the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan!"
So shouted a young boy, who survived on petty theft and suffered beatings from the peasants, as he proclaimed that he was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han. His name was Liu Bei Xuande. After being saved from a perilous situation by Guan Yu, a hero in the fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuande had a fortuitous encounter in a village with two sisters who were afflicted by disease. As it turned out, the sisters, Li and Lan, were the daughters of a naga who dwelled in Heaven.
Xuande would ascend to heaven with one other young boy name Zhuge Liang. There, Zhuge Liang was blessed with Wisdom and Xuande with Courage. In his fight to the death with the demon Tun, Xuande won Courage, but in so doing he also lost his mother, whom he loved more than any other.
After descending back to Earth from Heaven, Xuande is now a grown man. What is the fate that awaits him now?!

Guan Yu Storms the Castle!
3
Are you planning your escape? Will you come forth from Chushui Castle, or do you lack the mettle?!
4
Guan Yu, have you forgotten the honor bestowed upon you by Zhang Jiao?!
5
Honor...?
You call that "honor"?!
6
If you turn back, you may take with you medicinal herbs from Ju Lu.
7
I too once believed that the Way of Peace would save the poor and disease-afflicted. But what good has that brought?! You have forgotten about victory and the rules of war, instead indulging in rampant pillaging. Justice is not on the side of the Yellow Turbans!
8
Do you dare to call the Yellow Turban Rebellion a pack of thieves?!

Take back your slanderous affront or I will cut you to pieces! |
