The European Axis realize that they are on shaky ground, and having American bombers attacking from Riga is simply gonna blow them up off said shaky ground. Japan is not in this war.
Shaky ground? It is just their paranoia caused by Allies 1939 landing in undefended Germany.
Germany alone with its 60-70 planes can face the whole allies now. USA has got only 20 planes. Japan and China will be at war soon and it can rebase its air forces anywhere, even to Europe. I think that we all should remember that the Axis is still superior to the Allies+Comintern in terms of manpower, land armies and air forces. Both alliances have roughly 1000 IC now. It is obvious, at least for me, that without the massive US help we are doomed.
So Pepsi is a member of an undoubtedly stronger alliance. Where does the whining come from? If we talk about Japan being crippled by Dave we should ask a simple question? Who crippled it? The guy who built 3 HQs or the guy who built 120 factories and has a prospect of serious lack of resources in years to come?
EDIT: About the events in the next session - Remember that Germany is obliged to DoW SU on 22nd June 41 and Japan must DoW USA on 7th Dec 41. USA can then join the Allies. Japan and China can join the Axis on the 22nd June 41 or any time later. So you will need to disband your Chinese-Japanese-Manchurian alliance to be able to join the Axis. Manchukuo will join the Axis automatically together with Japan because it is a puppet.
