Just how much internal division was there in the inner working of the Japanese empire? I heard the army and navy didn't trust each other, but I wasn't sure

Army, Navy and even airforce to a degree were often uncoordinated because they were so rogue and out of control

Different branches of the military have to compete for budget in every nation ever. I'm not convinced that Imperial Japan was any worse than the norm in that regard, people just exaggerate it because "lol dumb japs can't war."

It makes a slight difference when the military controls the country. Besides, we're not talking about competing for budget here, we're talking about outright hostility to the idea of cooperation.
