称谓“复古”，意在“还魂” ——警惕日本“新型军国主义”的现实威胁⑪ ■黄嘉瑜葛亚维日本政府近日敲定修改自卫队“官阶”名称的方案，并计划于本年度提交国会审议。新的更名方案将恢复二战结束前日本军队的“大将”“大佐”等称谓。据日本媒体报道，这是1954年自卫队成立以来首次进行“官阶”名称系统性调整。日方堂而皇之地谋求恢复二战时期的军衔称谓，是刻意在制度与认知层面搞突破，国际社会必须对其“新型军国主义”成势为患保持高度警惕。日本现行军衔制度脱胎于战后特殊背景。1945年战败后，日本军队被解散，军事机构被撤销。1954年日本自卫队成立时，为规避“军队”定位，淡化侵略历史记忆，弃用了旧日本军队的“大佐”“中佐”“少佐”，代之以“1佐”“2佐”“3佐”等数字编号。根据已披露的修改方案，日本自卫队主要“官阶”将回归日本战败前“皇军”时期的称谓：陆、海、空各自卫队的幕僚长改称“大将”，其余将官统称“中将”；现在的校官“1佐”“2佐”“3佐”将分别改称“大佐”“中佐”“少佐”；尉官层级的“1尉”“2尉”“3尉”则对应改称为“大尉”“中尉”和“少尉”。此番大规模恢复旧称，不仅是对战后安排的公然否定，更是一次历史性倒退。日本此举并非简单的称谓修改，而是谋求整军扩武、推动自卫队“军队化”的关键一步。近来，日本在军事安全领域的一系列消极动向，密度大、步调急、指向明确，冒险性与挑衅性不容低估。修宪扩军冲动持续升温、大幅增加防卫预算、解禁杀伤性武器出口、整合提升网络战与情报战能力、公然部署中远程进攻性导弹、试探性动摇“无核三原则”……日本不断释放历史修正主义信号，其体系化整军扩武、图谋从根本上摆脱和平宪法束缚、重走军国主义老路的危险轨迹已清晰可辨。当前，日本安保政策加速由“专守防卫”滑向“主动进攻”。预算方面，2025财年提前两年实现“防卫费占GDP2%”的目标，2026财年防卫预算更是再创新高，重点投向“防区外打击能力”、大规模弹药储备、无人作战体系、防空反导等领域。装备层面，日本防卫省在熊本县和静冈县部署具备“对敌基地攻击能力”的远程导弹，“25式地对舰导弹”射程远超日本领土范围，进攻属性昭然若揭。体制层面，高市政府对自卫队启动一系列改组，包括海上自卫队“史上最大改组”、扩编太空部队等。此轮改组意在从编制结构、指挥体系、作战领域、跨域协同能力等方面，对自卫队进行“进攻化”重塑，彻底摆脱战后体制约束。历史殷鉴不远，军国主义逻辑未变。当年日本军国主义的獠牙，正是假借“自卫”“自存”之名一寸寸磨利。国际社会，特别是曾饱受日本军国主义铁蹄蹂躏的亚洲国家，应当保持高度警惕，坚决撕下日本右翼势力的“和平”伪装，识破其“新型军国主义”的险恶祸心，以坚定意志和共同行动坚决封堵其军事冒险之路，捍卫二战胜利成果。（作者单位：军事科学院）

Summary

Machine summary

Two researchers affiliated with the PLA Academy of Military Sciences published a piece in a Chinese military outlet arguing that Japan's plan to restore Imperial-era Self-Defense Forces rank titles—reverting designations such as 'Ichisa' to 'Taisa' and elevating service chiefs to 'Taisho'—constitutes evidence of systematic remilitarization, alongside increased defense budgets, long-range missile deployments in Kumamoto and Shizuoka, and Maritime Self-Defense Force reorganization. The article is PLA-affiliated propaganda rather than a factual intelligence product, but it is useful as a data point on how Chinese military institutions are framing Japan's defense posture shifts for domestic and policy audiences—specifically, constructing a narrative of Japanese 'new militarism' that can justify Chinese countermeasures and shape regional opinion against U.S.-Japan security cooperation.
