The news of this was concerning to Asami Nakamura, she worried these actions would further increase the chance of a communist uprising in Asia. She stands at the podium to make a speech and States the following:

Lelouch goofed and gave Panama to Mexico instead of you

I agree, I gifted Panama to @Sorcha Catach

Location: Coastal China-Japanese Border Report: Attack - PLA Forces repelled. At 0200, the Japanese-Chinese border, the security checkpoint on the border was attacked by a group of 250 Chinese men. The security checkpoint housed 4 squads, each containing 6 soldiers, 24 men in total. The men reported strange movements in the distance 10 minutes before the attack, and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 4th Army Group was dispatched to investigate, which would take 20 minutes before they would arrive. At 0200, the group of Chinese men attacked and killed 4 soldiers, and injured 20 men. Once reinforcements arrived, a swift battle ensued however the group of Chinese left, with demands of the complete removal of capitalism or the Chinese PLA will continue attacks against our positions before swiftly running off into the distance. High Command told the men to not follow the Chinese and to reinforce the entire border, and increase defensive position throughout. ‐------------------------------------------------------

"Rise of the Nakamura Navy" The Empress has called upon the Navy to construct the following: 2 Carriers, 10 destroyers, 6 cruisers, 4 arsenal ships, 16 drone ships and 10 amphibious assault ships to increase the Navy Carrier fleet to hold 10 Carrier groups. The Empress also decreed the shipyards to be opened 24hours, with four shifts. 1st shift working 6am to 3pm, second shift 10am to 7pm, 3rd shift 2pm to 11pm and fourth shift 10pm to 7am With that, the Empress has also ordered the Military to increase communication security to keep out foreign governments from listening to Japanese comms and increase soldier count on the Japanese-British border in Japan, awaiting for the two year(2 months irl) timeframes for the removal of British soldiers and government from the mainland and the restoration of the Japanese main island.

"The Empress hasnt made an opinion on Britain by what others have told her. She makes it by observing your governments actions. At this time, her only issue is your claims in Asia, she doesnt care what you trade with them, what form of aid you give them. She wants an independent Asia, free from European, American and so forth colonization into Asia. She will not interfere with your economic and aid as long as it doesnt affect her interests, which is the removal of outside factions governance in Asia. We are not Nationalist, we dont follow a faulty ideology that previous governments in Japan held. Our primary goal is to ensure the protection of all people in Asia. Their prosperity. Your aid for the PLA can continue." The man speaking for the council stated while grabbing for a folder before continuing on, "Yes, we understand the process of removal of British personnel, goods and equipment can take a while, which is why we are going to allow a two year period before our military rolls in and enforces Japanese laws. We may have our differences, and we do conflict on several issues, but the states outside of Japan are autonomous states. They handle their own affairs, that isnt defense or foreign affairs. Once we accomplish our goals of reuniting Japan, we'll reform to the Empire of Japan, and each state will have the ability to send representatives to the Diet, allow a somewhat democratic government. With your suggestion of students, we can allow. With the visaless suggestion, they will need to register with the Government before entering. They wont need to gain visas, but they will have to notify the government when they enter our lands. The only thing we need is imports of Iron and some other few raw resources but we been meeting our demands from Tanakosin at the moment."

The council whispered to eachother and turned their heads back to the British. They hold their gaze, showing no emotions and reply "we can only give you two years(2 months irl)to completely remove your troops before the Japanese military is ordered to move into Northern Japan. We appreciate you leaving, and handing back control of our homeland, however that's the longest the Empress is willing to give. On the matter of China, we do not agree with puppeteering a state, however if they request to join us, we will not deny them their request. We will allow you to continue sending trade and aid to the Chinese people, but we officially request you remove your forces from Asia un the two year span and refrain from colonizing lands in Asia in the future. The Empress wants to bring prosperity to the Asian people, and she is willing to cooperate, but all Asian people do want the ability to self govern without the interference of outside influence and pressure. Let us make our own decisions."

When they arrived, the Japanese escort was ordered to take the British Minister of Foreign Affairs and his companion to the Tokyo Convention Hall to speak to the Council of the Shogunate. Due to the council couldnt speak English, a translator would be present

自業自得 "Work of self, obtainment of self" With tensions increasing, and intelligence of potential threats to the main island, the Empress has called for a General Mobilization of her Military. The Shogunate Army, navy and Air Force are to report for duty immediately, and Martial Law is now under effect. Any Citizens caught outside during curfew will be detained and the local law enforcement shall work with the Shogunate Military until told otherwise, this includes the lands held in China, Korea and the Philippines and every citizen is required to report suspicious activity to the authorities. During these times, soldiers will also continuously train to increase their skills, Navy Carrier Fleets will be stationed strategically to guard the Maritime borders of the Shogunate X marks the location of Japanese Naval Fleets(8 in total) the Lines indicate its movement(where its being transferred to) The Shogunate's Air Force shall keep an eye over the Japanese mainland's airspace under the Shogunate's direct control and will be patrolling the skies, with the majority being stationed in Japanese mainland and Korea. The borders shall be militarized as well, with major port cities receiving a reinforcements The Reserves would not be called in to active duty, however every weekend they'll be required to come to training unlike the previous every other week requirement. The Industrial sectors are also ordered to start mass producing weapons, with importing majority of the required resources from Tanakosin empire due to the Japanese mainland lacking in natural resources.

"Not that I am aware of, unless you have anything you wanted to add." She said with a smile and her eyes closed and her head tilted. Afterwards she gave a slight bow while her hands were clapped together.

Asami was shocked by the proposal, but didnt show signs of it. She lifts her left eyebrow and shakes her hand and says "let this bring our two great nations together to fight for a common goal, as the Heavens open up to allow Asia to become free once more, we shall open our arms to our allies in Southeast Asia in a pursuit to remove colonialism from our great continent. As a gift and sign of our friendship, take this." Asami calls her one of her men over, he hands her a katana forged during Ancient times. "It is a Katana sword, created in history, preserved for a moment like this. This katana shall represent the close bonds we are making today. Be honored, as receiving a Katana is a great honor. Hold it with pride." Asami said before extending the sheathed Katana to Yrita

"I did not see you making demands, I saw you voicing your valid opinions, and I appreciate you wanting to warn me, i already know the Brits can be dishonest, dishonorable. I dont have much faith in the talks, but by honor I must give it a chance. And that would be welcoming. He could witness the rebirth of the Samurai. They may not use the sharpness of the Katanas anymore, but they are being trained to be my most elite men. They are being trained for Special Operations and ensuring the protection of me. The men you see with me are the first group to pass extensive training and graduated. They are the best in my military." She said with a warm smile while taking a sip of tea

While she stood at the window, she holds her hands, behind her back and stands straight, and replies "We understand your position, but by honor, we must give the British a chance to peacefully leave Asia. If they do not, they'll leave us with no choice, and we will of course stand with you. Either way, they'll know we will be willing to fight for our people. I fully plan to inform the British of my demands and will not make any agreements that will allow them to stay in Asia, or dishonor my family name. Through strength we stand United, through honor we'll prevail. No European nation shall own China or they'll have to face the consequences. I can promise you, we wont sign a deal that isnt honorable, and one that doesnt include the complete removal of the British from Asia." She states, then turns around and walks back to her seat before taking a seat. "Will you give us time for the Shogunate to give the British a chance to leave Asia peacefully before we resort to total war?"
