啊，这是一种多么伟大的精神！我们无惧百万敌军和千艘航母，因为我们全军共有此魂……如果一亿国民现在以此精神进行生产和自卫，则帝国可高枕无忧。据说美国人现在都为总统大选而疯狂，杜威还稍有领先。我敢说他们比不上我们，因为他们的战争目的和国家政策都是出于私欲。[65]

在接下来的最后9个月战争中，主导日本的战略意图就是：向美国人展示自己“大和魂”的全部威力和怒火。一个愿意把它的年轻人全都变成制导导弹的国家，也一定会全民战至最后一人——一个愿意如此死战到底的国家是不可征服的。如果日本人把赌注叫得足够高，美国就会退缩。美国的领导人受选民掣肘，没有打到亡国灭种的勇气。对日本来说，太平洋战争可能已经输掉了，军国主义政府的高官们在私下里、内心里已经越来越愿意承认这一点。但是打败仗和投降之间，失去海外占领地和看着国土被匪军践踏之间，还是有着很大的差异。人工制导导弹从来不是为了胜利而采用的，而只是为了避免彻底毁灭的恐怖。即便官方宣传不承认，为神圣的日本列岛进行的战斗也已开始，而“神风”正是它的第一道防线。
