Part of the campaign:

Our grip over Asia is challenged by three powers: The Chinese and their refusal to bow before technology, The Russian Empire, and the British Empire. India is chained, and central Asia is ravaged by Russian interests.

The Dutch can easily be defeated and are not a threat to Japanese hegemony over Asia, however, this would put us at odds with some of Europe's finest should we attack.

Test our mettle! From ocean to sea to shore, that's what boats are for!

Taking China is easy, what can they do besides bury men with men?

It would be best to wait for an opportune time to strike.

It would be best to wait for an opportune time to strike.

Our military presence in our overseas provinces is to say the least abysmal. The only soldiers there are local recruits.

Thats it. All these fucking "powers" think that they can wag they dick out wherever they want. ASIA IS FOR JAPAN

Burma is underneath JAPANESE protection, so its only natural we accept. The British should've held back.

Plans are to be made, positions dug, and soldiers recruited. Meanwhile, Poland takes on the league of Slavs.

Forces from all around are to be deployed.

Depleted forces are to be refitted for military combat.

god damn it

Not too heavy, thankfully.

The Poles push while their allies sit by.

They have almost reached the boundary of the old Commonwealth.

Population statistics have lead to a census taking place, ranking the most populous cities in the world. The Qing have third place.

Kyoto is home to the highest population of accepted people. Glorious second place.

The Brits technically have first, but these are oppressed people. Disqualified.

War must be had against these pushovers. The Paper Tiger, Perfidious Albion, and [Pejorative term]. Cheeseheads? The Netherlands doesn't have any derogatory term that starts with P, but we will find something out.

The sun will set for one empire.

Realpolitik has clearly been rooted in our choices.

You can only ever chase the sun if you never advance towards tomorrow. The dragon is weak.

And in a masterful move of diplomacy, Germany and Italy are called to help deal with China.



We can take the Netherlands ourselves.

[JAVA THEATRE]



Orders are given to advance and secure the island, then continue on to the real objective. Little resistance besides a brave 3000.

[GUANGXI THEATRE]



Two generals push to the river and forests, while the other two armies stand by.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



Heavy enemy presence beyond the border. Bodies litter Fengtian.

Reformation of the entire army would have saved thousands of lives. China will be in their death throes soon.

Do not worry, this will all be over soon.

[GUANGXI THEATRE]



Occupation of the bordering forest is complete. The second Imperial Division is sent to engage a hostile force.

[GUANGXI THEATRE]



Battles rage across China.

The further we push, the more we take.

[JAVA THEATRE]



Dutch forces from the north gather in the Batavia fort. Suzuki begins an encirclement.

[JAVA THEATRE]



Overwhelming firepower melts opposition.

[JAVA THEATRE]



Few remain to tell of the battle. Wounded and disorganized, there will be none.

ＷＥ ＨＡＶＥ ＬＯＳＴ ＴＨＥ ＭＡＮＤＡＴＥ ＯＦ ＨＥＡＶＥＮ

[JAVA THEATRE]



The remaining Dutch are nowhere to be seen. Assumed to be killed by the local wildlife or lack of supply. Sumatra is to be fully occupied within 3 months.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



As Japanese forces neared the Forbidden City, the emperor quickly agreed to our demands.

Money is not hard to come by, this is why the industry was built. War, war materials, war subsidies (profitable factories).

The new additions to the empire are beautiful.

Realpolitik bitches



yaaaaaaaas

wait what

what?

Why did nobody tell me about Russia and the Brits?!



God fucking damn it!

A new party is created for the sole purpose of war and expansion.



One of the platforms they run on is: Reminding the Prime Minister what nations we are at war with.

War is no place for democracy.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



Holo-Caucus is barely able to hold off the British-Indian combined army. The already established Baghdad Bombers come in to reinforce and eliminate them.

Remember? It is only natural.

Our allies would have answered the call, but now? Dishonorable. Half of Europe and half of Asia is weaker than all of Japan.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



The Liberators are called on again. One of them is sent back to secure Pegu, while the others advance to stop the Brits from postponing the war.

Empires grow and die, but Japan lives forever.



Death before dishonor.

Our military is spread thin among Persia and may be thin among Burma. More strength is required to push back.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



Heavy losses left and right. If not for supplies and men, this theatre would be over.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



The Brits jump through the jungle and launch a surprise attack. Yashiro is caught off-guard and is weakened.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



As the main front breaks, Kanin is able to divide the attention and ease the pressure against Yashiro's army.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



A good fraction of those losses are most likely due to the Jungle.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



Must suck to be stuck in an Indian jungle.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



An entire army gone within 10 days.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



"Most of Persia has to be occupied by this point. We see Russian flags everywhere. Will guard the port in hope of reinforcements"



-Muto



[JAVA THEATRE]



With the majority of the spice islands and the original war goal, a redeployment is ordered. The top brass have high hopes and big plans.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



Most of Bengal has been occupied, but there still might be an enemy force lying in wait. They will advance with caution.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



"There are thousands of Russian soldiers swarming the mountains. Bandas Abbas ready to receive reinforcements at any time"



-Muto

[JAVA THEATRE]



The three armies are loaded onto the fleet and are to be sent home.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



No hostile forces detected, continue advance.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



"Requesting reinforcements immediately, have yet to engage Russian army." -Muto



Persia looks grim, but I am sure Russia is weaker than Muto makes them out to be. There is no bear, only smoke and mirrors.

[HOME FRONT]



The people grow worrisome and curious. Can Japan really win?



Of course. The increased military presence is only temporary citizens, return to your normal activities.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



Enemies engaged, they are simple soldiers. Similar to China except for the British support.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



Rain beneath our boots

We march to Delhi because

An enemy shoots

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



The first major loss of the war. A simple border guard against the Russians. Brave Japanese men that fought until their last breath.



They will be avenged.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



Enraged, Enomoto passionately guides his troops through artillery fire and smashes into the weakened British army. Japanese artillery pounds away from behind while dragoons engage the flanks.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



Most British infantry lie dead alongside our Japanese brethren. The remaining artillery and cavalry are pursued.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



The Border is to be more heavily guarded, so troops guarding Korea quickly march. The neighboring army arrives to support the relentless advance.

[MANCHURIAN THEATRE]



Enomoto stays behind to recover his army, while Tokudaiji finishes the job.



While we are busy destroying an intercontinental power, Serbia moves to reclaim lost land. They are fighting the Slavic League, and all help is appreciated against the Russian menace.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



"The port remains in Japanese hands and two Russian armies are encircled along the coast. Requesting reinforcements."



-Muto

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



The vast army is engaged along the coast. They have already experienced massive losses, but men are still fielded.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



As the battle rages on, our lands are once again occupied.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



Chabahar has been occupied. Both sides of the battle are reinforced.

[BURMESE THEATRE]



Orders are given to advance in any and all directions.

Serbia has managed to occupy the majority of Bulgaria. Norway arrives to reclaim land and Serbia stands their ground.

Serb stronk

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



The battle of Jask moves to the desert and will be won all the same.

[PERSIAN THEATRE]



The tide of battle turns ever more in our favor. The propaganda is not favorable, but we can not afford to crack down on such a large population. Fighting against our own people? They are helping the war effort. We fight our enemies and we win.

We fight them here.
