A Japanese After Action Report.

The difficulty is hard / furious and patch 1.1 with stoney road 1.16 graphics.

The sun rises slowly over the Imperial Japanese Forces, its dawn on February 26:th and shadows move in the twilight. As the sun fully emerges over the horizon a coup is in progress and the tranquility of the imperial gardens is
disturbed. The echoes of gunfire bounces in the garden and the emperors morning coffee isn't standing on the bedside table when the divine eyes searches for it. Annoyed, the Emperor vispers "who dares disturb me in
the morning without coffee?"
One of the Geishas vispers with downcast eyes,
"its a coup attempt, the coffee beans isn't ready yet. so sorry".

An opening slides sideways slowly as not to disturb the emperor and an aid walks slowly into the bedroom. Meanwhile the Emperor looks more closely at the Geisha and responds "Well. I want them crushed as you well know!". Overhearing this the aid bows and backs out of the room. Just outside he starts to run towards the ministers anxiously awating his return with words from the emperor of what do to. "Crush the coup screams the aid" to them and they all leave to do what they must to obey the emperial command.

It's christmas in Osaka, the emperor has caught a nasty cold and his favorite flower doesn't seem to survive well in the garden of tranquility. Upset by this he has a massage by his favorite Geisha, and as the muscles relaxes he feels inclined to chitchat. As before the aid comes silently through the sliding doors and hears the emperors words "How should I get the lovely Guangxi to live and grow in freedom. I want it to be guaranteed".

Again the aid bows and walks to the ministers and says "The emperor commands that the Guangxi Clique be guaranteed it's independance."

On new years day 1937, the Emperor is presented with the progress report of 1936 and it reads.

end 1936
--------------------------------------------------------------

Its a lovly spring day in Osaka and the cold has gone away. Feeling well and enjoying his garden he takes a rest and reads some books about the american general Sherman. The aid has come with imortant words from the Germans, they are proposing an anti-commitern pact. What will the emperor decide. The aid walks slowly into the garden towards the tables set forth for the Emperor.

However as an unimprovable romatic the emperor starts to pace as the book picks up it's romantic speed. At reading how the general left a note for his youth's love at her home with the words

"You once said that I would crush an enemy and you pitied my foe. Do you recall my reply? Although many years have passed, my answer is the same. I would ever shield and protect you. That I have done. Forgive all else. I am only a soldier.
Wm. T. Sherman"

The empeoror exlaims in a ghi voice. "German, the commitment. I want it too"

The aid runs to the minsters, the emperor has shown his divinity and knows about the german proposal and accepts it. All is well in the empire.

A few months later, the Emperor reads about the adventures of Marco Polo and how he travelled from venice to the great country china centuries ago. The emperor is exalted about china and all the 12 000 bridges and countless palaces that marco polo writes about. As the aid walks in silently the emperor exclaims, "Oh Marco Polo, I am too poor to do anything."

The aid yet again rushes out to the waiting ministers exclaiming "We cannot afford to go to war over the Marco Polo bridge incident"

Returning later as the mild summer breeze moves the curtains draping the open windows, the aid has come to the garden to relax after a hard days work. The emperor is working on his poetry and mutters silently to himself.

Thinking about a poem about his new swiss Geisha Germain he sees the aid and he rushes forward saying in his most romatic voice.
"Germain's friend I want to be, so sickness would not be, together in joy, the world would be free"
The aid doesn't really understand what his emperor is speaking about so with downcast eyes he asks "alliance sir?"
Yes! the emperor says, allied with Germain i want to be. Now, tonight, as I lay myself to rest...
The aid shakes his head as he walks off muttering "ohh this will not do us well." An emissary is immediatly sent to germany asking for an alliance.

As the new year begins the emperor is presented with the progress report of 1937 and it reads.

Logistical Strike Doctrine, Advanced Machine Tools,
Direct Ground Support Doctrine, Agricultural Production,
