If you want to talk strategically look at a map! Any German U Boats that want to attack Japanese shipping have to go though the Strait of Malacca (Guarded by Singapore) or the smaller straits in the Dutch East Indies. Otherwise they have to take the long way around and go past the Solomans!
The Japanese can just camp at the straits and take them out.
