Preparing for war
It would not be out of place to inform our reader that the war in the Pacific Ocean was most likely a foregone conclusion. Japan abandoned its intentions to attack the USSR from the Kwantung Army in Manchuria. And the rejection of this (conditionally “Western”) plan implied the implementation of a certain “Eastern option,” that is, expansion in the Pacific Ocean. By the way, this state of affairs can be considered a victory for Soviet diplomacy in the pre-war years and another positive aspect of the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the USSR. Japan felt deceived, despite being a member of the Anti-Comintern Pact, and did not want to help the Germans.
Japanese expansion in the Pacific

One way or another, the Japanese headquarters - primarily the Navy, since in Japan there was a strict division of land and naval forces, which later played a cruel joke on them - began to plan a campaign to seize the Pacific Ocean. The particular cynicism of the Japanese militarists was that some regions were called, for example, “special resource regions,” where only raw materials were taken into account, and people, naturally, were subject to eviction, destruction and persecution. However, the massacre in Chinese Nanjing (200 thousand killed) left no doubt that the Japanese would act harshly.

One of the leading Japanese strategists, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, developed a plan for the expansion of the Japanese Empire, based on the seizure of islands as transshipment bases, resource centers and achieving dominance at sea and in the air, primarily with the help of the fleet. The American embargo on oil supplies to Japan in July 1941 only accelerated the implementation of these plans. However, by that time the Japanese were already in French Indochina (Vietnam) and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). The ring around the Americans was narrowing.
