42年战役A

42年5月1日 - 46年3月31日

　　日本的太平洋战争作战方针分为三个基本阶段：

　　第一个是通过偷袭来压制美国太平洋舰队，并夺
取“南洋资源区”。

　　第二阶段日本要巩固所有占领的地区并建立一个
防御圈来防守这些新增的疆域。

　　第三阶段本质上是完全防御阶段，日本认为他的
防御阵地非常坚固以至于全面动员后但仍士气低落的
美国根本无法突破。而且为此付出的代价是可以承受
的，战争最终将在谈判桌前以和平的方式结束。

By May of 1942, Japan had accomplished the aims of the
first phase and was well on the way to securing those of
the second. However, the relative ease with which the first
two aims were accomplished caused Japan to waver in her
resolve to pursue the defensive nature of the third phase.
Japan began to over extend her reach.  Historians commonly
refer to this over extension as "victory disease"...
