On July 19, 1938, Japan's "five—ministers joint conference" reached the conclusion that "speeding up the formation of an alliance with Germany and Italy will assist in a quick solution to the 'China issue,' and assist the progress of the Japanese government:" On the other hand, when the Japanese armies became bogged down in the "China mire," some within the Japanese ruling bloc believed tbat, if the military treaty were signed as Germany requested, Japan would surely face more acute conflicts with Western democratic countries and would have more enemies, not to mention that its battle lines would be over—extended.During the early stages of the negotiations, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Togo, expressed his concerns about the three—state military treaty.It would not help the Sino—Japanese War, and instead, Japan might be dragged into a European conflict.In March 1939, the Japanese foreign minister, Arita, expressed lus hesitation in entering into a close military alliance with Germany.He emphasized, "Owing to the fact that the Empire is tied up with the China issue, our domestic economic situation makes me highly cautious in our economic relations with Britain and the US." 
In March 1939, Nazi Germany took the remaining part of Czechoslovakia.A European war was about to break at any time.In May, in order to gain a strategically advantageous position at the outset of the war, and also to break the ice on German—Japanese talks, Germany proposed two sets of terms as a compromise for Japan to choose from: the first took the Japanese tenns as the basis, with additional German requests; the second was based on the German terms, with additional Japanese requests.However, heated debates continued within the Japanese ruling bloc about the pros and cons of the treaty regarding the solution of the "China issue." The army believed it would contain assistance from Britain and the US to China, which would weaken anti—Japanese and pro Communist forces inside China Yet the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the navy thought otherwise.To them, such a treaty would merely increase the assistance from the US and Britain, and possibly get the Soviet Union involved, thus delaying the solution of the "China issue." In the end, the second idea had the upper hand.Up until the outbreak of war in Europe, the closer military alliance between Nazi Germany and Fascist Japan was never realized.
