In 1939, Zhukov near Khalkhin-gol made sure there would be no "what if" for Japan. There were still licking the wounds in 1941 and weren't eager to attack SU even when the situation was most favorable for them in autumn-winter of 1941 thus giving SU the chance to transfer fresh siberian divisions to fight off Germans near Moscow.
