MAC platform replacements would fire off from the Japanese mainland and Hawaii, intercepting ant of the tungsten rods a minimum of 100 miles prior to their target. Though the interceptions were not assured, the intent was to knock the rods off target to ensure the safety of Japanese assets. The Japanese drones in space would receive their orders to eliminate all nation's assets in space, and solidify the Japanese regimes control over space. One of the battleship raolguns would be refocused on deflecting orbital projectiles. One of the zues satellites in orbit would fire down their EMP, The target would, of course, be the shield employed by Mog corp. Ad the CIWS chipped away at the onslaught of missiles launched in the initial strike, only 30% would be prematurely destroyed. As the tomahawk and a railgun focused their fired towards a single point, a second garage would be released. This time, comprising of 4 non nuclear Trident-II, and 104 tomahawks. The undersea Archnet drones would received orders to assault all vessels not hailing a friendly los-frequdncy rfid code. Their secondary mission would be to destroy the cables connecting Mog corp's network to other continents. .:Tokyo:. Umbrella forces in the city would be killed in droves, as Japanese forces took control of the city. The 31,000 Infantry would make short work of the surprised Umbrella Security Force. Critical documents and infrastructure would be seized, and over 30% of the city would fall into the hands of the Emporers forces. Intel satellites as well as recon teams would begin scanning for any kind of biological or chemical weapons, attempting to defuse ant potential time bombs. .:Mediterranean:. Corsica, Cyprus, and the Balearic islands would be seized by Japanese forces from the Laurentian people, while the 2 carrier groups would deploy their forces against the local infrastructure. The 3 marine regiments(3,200 soldiers) were deployed to secure the airstrip first, followed by the aerial defenses.

.:Classified:. The 11th and 12th strike groups would be seen off the coast of Mog Corp. Before entering her territorial waters, several Archnet drones would be released. Their initial goal would be to slice into the seabed sensors, and locate the deployment of Mog[corp] vessels. The second, equally important goal, would be to mask the arrival of Japanese vessels approaching. As the forces were within 25 miles of the coast, the fleets would unleash 150 harpoon missiles, 300 Tomahawk missiles with radar tracking(to destroy radar stations), and deploy 80 F-26s to patrol the skies and ensure carrier safety. The battleships would direct their large rail guns towards Mogtopia's shield, and begin firing the projectiles once every minute for 5 minutes, while their mini rail guns, with the cruisers, would target any vessel in range and open fire. Having barely scratched their missile arsenal, the vessels would prepare for a reprisal from the nation. ..Tokyo.. The 11,000 Infantry stationed there would quietly move towards any airports, comms towers, and leadership facilities. They would be equipped with gas masks, and their armored vehicles with an air filtration system. Another 20,000 Infantry would sneak into the city past the gate, assassinating any guards in the area to move towards the Umbrella facilities. Expecting an attack via chemical or biological weapons, nukes were on standby and the wide range of missiles prepared to level the city entirely. Henceforth, Japan would establish an Empire stretching across the globe. The world powers would be brought to heal, just as China and the Metaboard had been. Any who dared defy the Emporer, would surely meet a gruesome end.

.:Classified:. "We are brought here one more as we determine government spending over the course of the next fiscal year. As it is, we have been mass producing easily made vessels with the intent to fill out our fleet. Once we achieve the mandated 11 fleets, our focus will shift. At that point, the priority for our navy will be to aquire the carriers neccessary to ensure our power is effectively projected around the world. As such, the funds to purchase the remaining 3 groups will be allocated totaling 54 billion. Leaving 206 billion left to be allocated. You may now request additional allocation." The Defense director would proclaim to the officials before him. "We request the additional acquisition of 2 modern cruisers and a Laurentian battleship per strike group. The battleship will prove to be a highly survivable vessel with intense offensive capabilities. The cruisers will ensure a powerful offensive force to ensure no vessel gets near the carriers or capital vessels. With our anti air frigates, and the development of the new sonar and Poseidon missile, we will effectively mitigate all naval threats. The cost of these new additions is projected to be 143 billion, though the battleships are over half the cost, and without a blueprint, we will be forced to rely on their production capacity. Timeframe to acquire these vessels is unknown." Kaori Oba would stress to the director. "Without a timeframe or a tangible design available, we cannot agree to fund them. When one arises, we will gladly shift the funds to appropriate them." The director would declare, before shifting his gaze. "I would like to shift the focus to the army. While we are an island nation, we still need a capable land army. As it is, we are using out dated equipment. We need modernized tanks, more advanced artillery, and better infantry weapons. Our researches have suggested we develop a non line of sight cannon to hit targets up to 840 miles away utilizing an advanced railgun design and ISR technology. Also, a new tank design equipped with a focused microwave array, anti-explosive defense swarm drones, and a a standard armored setup, would be ideal. As such, we in the army request 18 billion in funds to ensure we can keep pace with other world powers." General Reika Kamiyawa insisted. "The goals outlined do not seem unreasonable. Very well, you will be allocated the neccessary funds. Be sure to avoid pay overruns." The Defense director replied. "The Air force needs to stress that the F-26 is still largely untested in combat. We suggest slow production until it can be extensively tested. As such, we request funds for 185 F-22s, and 30 F-26s. An additional 250 Apaches and 430 Defenders is requested. Total cost is 23 billion." Air Marshall Natsuki Hori determined. "Agreed, we must continue to improve our aerial capabikities if we are to ensure dominance in the Pacific. We will also be approving 34 billion in funds for missile production. And how about the Deparment of Intelligence?" The director woukd ask, as he awaited the final department. "As it is, I would advise the addition of 8 more satellites to watch the Indian ocean, and 4 to watch the Mediterranean. We would also suggest the development of specialised EMP satellites to act as a last line of defense in the event of a full scale war. The idea of a missile defense network of satellites has also been suggested. The Intel satellites would cost 1.6 billion, while 1 weaponizsd EMP satellite would cost an estimated 1.3 billion. The Defense satellites would need to be developed, and we would request 8 billion in funds to do so. The total cost of these projects would amount to 16.1 billion." The director of intelligence would curtly reply before going back to his book. "Very well, approved. With the costs of maintainence being around 6.3 billion, the total allocated budget is 151.4 billion, with 109 billion remaining. This will be shifted to awuurr new naval vessle sor military equipment as needed. That ends the budget discussion for the year."

.:Classified:. The Second test of the Arrow system would take place. The missile would head towards the non nuclear warhead once more, where the missile would split into 12 individual warheads. This time, the Arrow Missile would release a soft EMP, staggering the warheads for a period of no more than 30 seconds. As the EMO went off, the missile would arrive at the epicenter of the warheads, and detonate. It's fragmentation would effectively nullify all if the warheads, causing them to deteriorate in the atmosphere harmlessly. As if now, the Arrow system was labeled a success, with a price tag if 24 million per battery(or 3 million per missile). To ensure the security of Japan and it's assets, the purchase of 31 batteries would be put in motion, with a total cost of 750 million credits. With the development staff completing their work on the projectile, they would be shifted towards developing the Poseiden ASM, to ensure the security of surface vessels against rising subermsed threats.

Due to the extraordinarily high population density, as well as out dated medicine and infrastructure, the Chinese would see a rapid spread of the T virus. Before the talks could be held, the entire Hanan province would be saturated with a 60% infection rate, and spread like wild fire to nearby provinces. The surrounding ones would have infection rates of no less than 20%, and the 13 million untrained soldiers would be thrown sporadically at the infected. Fatalities would begin taking up in the millions, as the I'll equipped and prepared Chinese military attempted to quell the infection with nothing but firearms. Japan, intending to ensure the demise of China, would utilize intelligence satellites and prepare the cruise missiles to target their armored vehicles and aircraft.

.:Classified:. Early warning OTH radar would detect a fast moving projectile flying off the coast of China, targeting Honolulu, Hawaii. A specialized AI would flag the projectile as suspicious, and utilize the intelligence satellites to grab an image and forward it to the JIDF. From there, the acting chief would approve the launch of the Arrow system to target and intercept the projectile mid-flight, before it could reach a threatening range. At least, that was the exercise being used for the test of the new Arrow interceptor system. The battery would fire a single missile, where it would reach mach 3.6, hurtling at break neck pace towards the projected route of the missile. The 'nuclear warhead' would diverge into 12 separate warheads, an emergency measure to overwhelm missile defenses. The targeting system would retarget towards the center, intending to use its fragmentation to effectively render the warheads irrelavent. A critical computing error would retarget the missile too far to the left, and only remove 5 of the warheads. Despite the success of 2 out of 3 portions, the test was deemed a failure, and additional testing and development would be deemed neccessary. To shore up and secure Japanese infrastructure, the intelligence community would pour 2.3 billion in funds to establishing seabed sensors from the Chinese provincial coast to eastern Japan. These measures were developed to further cement ASW Capabilities.

.:Classified:. A non nuclear Minutemen III ICBM would be fired towards an uninhabited island off the coast of Hawaii. On Hawaii, the prototype Arrow Missile Interceptor would be fired. The designation of 'Success' for the project, is officiall given should it meet 3 conditions. The first condition is the capability to intercept the projectile far enough in orbit to render the missile ineffective. This is critical when deploying the system against nuclear weapons. The Second condition, is the capability to alter it's route/target midflight, to ensure that the interceptor can effectively eliminate long range cruise missiles. Finally, this interceptor must be able to reach substantial speeds to effectively deal with evolving opponent capabilities. As such, it must be able to reach speeds between mach 3 and 4. The following test will determine if the Arrow Defense System can effectively protect Japan against long range threats to it's security.

.:Classified:. The submersible carrier under development by the Japanese Department of Defense, has been halted and indefinitely post poned. The decision was made after the invention of the PD-23 Sonar system, utilizing low frequency active scanning sonar to detect the submersible signals in the water, and then identifying submersible targets at distances of approximately 43 miles. As such, this eliminates the over all mission/purpose of submarines. While autonomous subs will still be utilized for basic deterance, attack submarines will be phased out of the JMSDF, and replaces with specialized anti air frigates to be developed at a later date. The new sonar technology will be equipped on current Destroyers as well as future capital vessels. Further more, the Fusion Reactor specifically designed for the project will be repurposed in future ship designs as well as the USV designed to embed itself into existing seabed sensors, as well as utilize the new laser scanning technology. With the deemed a failure, designs will be drawn up to develop a new type of cruiser to ensure naval supremacy. The intent is to develop the concept of railguns and implement then on newer vessels. Additionally, a final product would be completed for the LaWS anti missile project would be focused to ensure the safety of future vessels. As such, a budget shift will reallocate the remaining budget from the carrier project to the new cruiser.

.:Classified:. Air filtration systems would rapidly be installed in government shelters/facilities, as well as military checkpoints and outposts. Gas masks would be standard issue when patrolling either the wall or the buffer zone, to prevent infection. Additionally, the Japanese government, in an effort to stall the Chinese regime, would announce the intent to negotiate with the Chinese government in 2 weeks time, so long as no military clashes took place on or around the border. As the wall neared completion, the Emporer begin to beef up the security around the border, from 18,000 soldiers and 4 arnordd divisions, to 24,000 soldiers, 4 armored divisions and 8 flocks. The intent was to prepare for a panicking China.

"Dear Umbrella Executives; The Japanese Regime will be sending the Director of State along with 2 aides to the meeting. Accompanying then will be 4 bodyguards to ensure their security. We look forward to building a brighter future for generations. Signed, Oruka Tanahara"

.:Classified:. The newly constructed strike group 6 would be dispatched to Hawaii, bringing the total groups in port to 3, as Japan further cements its power and authority in the Pacific. Final tests would be completed with the F-26, and the ending unit price amounts to 91 million per unit. The Department of Defense would shift to producing 150 of the advanced aircraft per year, replacing the F-22 production. Laurentian would pursue the purchase of 12 of the advanced aircraft, as researches worked hard to develop the F-26B, carrier variant of the aircraft. Supremacy would be a key to securing victory, second only to the navy. As such, 3/4ths of the research staff would be shifted towards developing the new Automated Stealth Submersible, intended to produce at low cost with low maintenance. The vessels would eliminate any sub attempting to operate in the Pacific, using information provided by SOSUS, surface ships, and listening posts. Additionally, any unapproved military vessels in the Pacific would be targeted for elimination should they enter Japanese waters. The target goal was a cost of no more than 700 million per unit, at 130 units. (Overall cost of 91.5 billion over 2 years.) Japan would begin purchasing additional uranium to begin enrichment to weapons grade capabilities. Nuke production itself would be post poned for 2 years due to budget constraints, and 3.2 billion would be allotted to procurement per year. The available budget remaining for the current year stands at 13.2 billion.

.:Classified:. Many year ago, when the world found itself at war, China had sided with a force seeking to bring about a shadow over the world. Japan would align itself with several nation's to bring an end to the coalition. Japan, having decimated the Chinese force with allied help, you lay claim to the entire coast, and it's form capital. 23 Yeats prior to today, the Japanese Emporer known as Haruta Tanaka's father, signed over the provinces of Shanxi and Henan over to the Chinese, in an effort to dissuade a war. The Chinese recognized the technological disparity, and settled with retrieving it's capital province without firing a shot. A little over 2 decades later, a d China has begun a mandatory conscription program, and amassed an infantry force of 13 million. Now, intelligence suggests they intend to move and capture the coast from Japan. The Emporer, refusing to release this territory, negotiated a 13 billion dollar contract with Umbrella. Umbrella would bring in prefabricated walls in a hurry, to secure Japan from China. Next, they would begin releasing certain biological weapons, to take advantage of the cramped China. More on that soon...

.:Classified:. To ensure the security of Japan, a series of automated UAV probes would be dispatched into orbit ti find and identify satellites and their location/orbital pattern. A recharge station would also be launched into space, with the clear goal being to ensure the continued operation of the Automated vehicles. The project total would amount to 450 million for the recharge station, which would incorporate basic LaWS prototypes, as well as a number of solar arrays designed to farm energy. The AI UAVs would upload all information every hour to the Japanese Military Com Satellite, to ensure that if the drone were destroyed, very little information would be lost. The cost of the drone itself would amount to 18 million, and would be replaced with little regret if damage ensues. The vehicle did not carry weapons, and was only a repurposed recon vehicle. It would take the Japanese Regime 3 months to accomplish this task, as the nation ensures that destroying it's satellites would mean mutual destruction. In the office if the emporer; "Sir, we've recorded movements of Chinese forces towards our border on the coast. They say the entire force of 13 million infantry intends to march on us." A young aide would inform him. "Less than 250,000 are actually soldiers. The rest were recently conscripted. There's no way they'd throw them into a sar with outdated armor, and essentially a non-existent airfirce." The director of Security chimed in. "We can't afford to think like that. We only have 40,000 men stationed there. Even 13 million poorly armed farmers could over run that. Contact Umbrella, and tell then were interested in... 'crowd supression' weapons." The Emporer would say before dismissing them.

.:Classified:. In an effort to secure the intellectual property of the Japanese Military, all research, schematics, Plans, Intel, and theories would be centralized on an offline server where. In any research facilities, the organization doing the work is required to utilize a heavy string of identification requirements. These requirements must all be met and include finger print, biometrics, password, and facial recognition. Data transfers can take place wirelessly, but can only be done via the facility administrator, and must have approval from the facility it will be sent to. The capability to download anything on the networks computers are disabled, and must file a report to the facility administrator in order to be given temporary access, and each account is given guest permissions to ensure that if a password is stolen, information theft is compartmentalized. These standards would be put in place in every A and B class facility(Which incorporates Intelligence facilities, research facilities, and strategic planning). Power plants, water treatment, and telecommunication facilities will require biometric, facial and finger print recognition authentication to ensure the safety of vital civilian infrastructure. The facilities themselves would be monitored by radar and camera feed, as well as have security personnel. In the event of an emergency, the Japanese Government had begun installing back up generators in government shelters as well as hospitals, police stations, military installations, etc to ensure that if those facilities were targeted, temporary measures were secured. Water reservoirs would be constructed to allot a alternatives in the even of a crisis, and the telecoms centers would be constructed to withstand bombardment, with numerous sensors constantly monitoring them. This was all apart of the plan outlined by the Director of Intelligence in the meeting about the defense budget for this year. Meanwhile, the cyber warfare division had been established in the intelligence branch, and a number of highly skilled individuals would begin recruiting potential prospects from the private industry, where they will be retrained to suit the needs of the government. Furthermore, 21 black or gray hat hackers would be released from prison under the guise of serving time as a member of the military. Here, they would be given a number of additional freedoms, though still not allowed to leave the facility. .:Public:. After heavy bombardment, officials from the Metaboard have, henceforth, agreed to the reduction of their military by 80%, as well as sacrificing the islands claimed by the Japanese Regime. The tattered nation attempts to move forward after the dark days that have plagued or recently. Japan has halted it's aerial assault, but affirms that the nation may only trade with Japan from this point forward. As such, building materials soar as Japanese businesses lessen their competitive market, with the Metaboard being forced to purchase exclusively from the foreign companies.

Japan, in an effort to force the Metaboard to agree to their demands, would begin launching volleys of tomahawk cruise missiles at the major airstrips and military bases. Escorts of aircraft would fly by and conduct air strikes, hitting power plants and telecoms centers. The nation would experience rolling blackouts and phone/internet outages on a mass scale. Once finished, the pilots were ordered to begin targeting water treatment plants, and apache would eventually be sent in on the next phase to napalm the crop fields. .:Classified:. The JSDF would continue to conduct flight tests with the new F-26 fighter to determine it's capability and reasonability. Despite the enormous budget it has eaten up, the overall unit cost would be cheaper than the F-22. The Department of Defense would cut the F-22 goal to 380, in order to reduce costs as the new fighter would be ready for deployment within the next year. Finally, with the SOSUS and Intel satellites prepared, Japan would form a defensive net of intelligence and recon around the Pacific. Japan would begin hiring civilian dredgers, as plans would be drawn up to build artificial islands around the Pacific, to strategically place anti-ship batteries and airstrip. The project will cost an estimated 3.1 bil, and will ensure Japanese solidification of the Pacific. Finally, the Japanese Final Defense would be established. The overall cost would amount to 80 billion, and take 3 years to complete. The project would utilize 6,300 non nuclear Trident IIs, placed in under water silos(Utilizing the dredged to clean the seabed for the construction), ready to be fired at any who seek to assault the Japanese mainland.

.:Classified:. With increased troop presence from multiple nation's in and around the north pole, an additional deployment of 15,000 Infantry, 800 Tomahawk missiles, 14 Iron domes, 350 barak-8, 8 minuteman III, 8 S-400s, and 2 Shibuya class BMS armed with 4 trident II from strike group 4. The Japanese navy would begin establishing a blockade around the Metaboard nation, turning away all merchant and military vessels. Frequent scheduled patrols of escort would fly over the strike groups that encircled the nation. Finally, several news outlets around the world had begun covering the story of the mass disappearances of Metaboard officials and specialists. Japanese officials strongly denied any involvement, and suggested the nation look towards it's own, criminal, elements. ..:Classified Testing Facility:.. The new F-26 Stealth Superiority fighter began sweeping through the skies, reaching supercruise speeds of mach 2.1. The fifth generation aircraft that had been built utilizing Metaboard technology, was designed for air superiority and to dominate the skies in aerial combat. It was a multi role fighter, capable of using air to surface and air to air missiles. It's radar cross section, with the new specialized radar absorbing paint and sleek design, was at .000094 meters squared, a slight improvement upon the F-22 by .00006 meters squared. This ensures that it's almost impossible to pick, and even harder to track/target. A specialized kinetic Missile Defense system was built into the design, which helps to dramatically improve survivability should enemy radar effectively lock on to the aircraft. Utilizing highly advanced networking and ISR, the aircraft can communicate with the Japanese Navy and even older generation aircraft to spot and identify potential threats and coordinate defenses. It's built with an advanced electronic warfare suite, capable of targeting any enemy radar equipment and o erwhelm it with false signatures. It will also be equipped with low frequency communications devices and advanced electronically scanned array radar to ensure the aircraft can identify potential threats with accurate medium range capability. Finally, the aircraft will utilize sensor fusion to effectively show the pilot what they need to see, when they need to see it.

Talks would be organized with what remained of the Metaboard regime, as they sought peace with Japan. Japan would send the Deputy Director of State, Haizo Namura. He would land at the Busan airport, drive to tbe capital building, and mert with is Metaboard counterparts. "I've come as the Japanese ambassador to these negotiations. How would you like to begin?" The man said, getting straight to business. "To start, we need you to agree to stop operating your forces on our land. We will forsake our island claims, but operating on Metaboard territory cannot continue." The man would firmly say. "We can agree to that, but first and foremost you must demilitarized your forces by 80%. You have proven a threat to Japan, and we will not stop unless you agree to that condition." The ambassador retorted. "The Metaboard didn't attack you. We didn't conduct aggressive military actions, and we didn't threaten you in any capacity. Why should we demilitarize?" The man asked, taken aback. "You illegally occupied Japanese territory, formed a bloc with the intent for regional domination, and you failed to reconcile when given the chance. Henceforth, you will agree to those terms or we will be at war." The ambassador told him curtly. "That's something we must discuss as a collective. We will inform you when a response has been made." The man told him, as the ambassador stood up and left. .:Classified:. "How did it go?" Came a voice in the ambassador's ear. "They need more persuasion. Perhaps we should increase the pressure?" The ambassador casually replies. The fleets deployed to Fiji and St Matthews island, would be recalled. The e homeland strike groups would begin taking positions, where they would begin blockading the port. Finally, another 63 special operations missions would be approved to capture or kill 81 additional targets. The priority was to further degrade their leadership and morale, and force a peaceful resolution.

.:Classified:. "Tango team is in position. Give the word command." A voice called out into the radio. "You are a go, begin conducting the assigned tasks. See you at home tango." A second voice responded on the device. Immediately as the voice gave the go ahead, a team of 8 specially trained Japanese soldiers quietly began to sneak into the mansion of a vital government member of the Metaboard. The soldiers would utilize night vision, low frequency comma, and silenced weapons to eliminate the buildings guard detail. After eliminating the perimeter security, they would koveninto the building, sneak into the officials room, and inject the official with a sedative. Afterwards, they would doing the official over their shoulder, put the individual into a civilian van, and drove off towards the coast, a secluded area away from any significant population. Once there, the official would be handed over to a speed boat task force. He would be handcuffed and packed into the boat with 4 other officials, and the special forces would go back into the city to begin conducting further missions. This was the 5th night of missions, and the force had successfully captured 42 officials, killed 13 and lost 9. Additionally, more than 30 scientists and engineers had been kidnapoed and carried off to the mainland. Although there were still many officials to capture for the end of operations, the loss of command, lack of organization, and nuking of their capital has scattered the Metaboard and allowed Japan to conduct a non stop series of missions to further degrade their leadership. Japanese officials would organize a talk with a rising political party that advocated appeasing Japan rather than retaliating. Japan would work towards ensuring that they were the only stable party. Once accomplished, Japan would enforce a nationwide demolitarization down to basic technology.

The Empire of Japan, to meet the basic peacetime standards, will begin the integration to 600,000 additional active duty personnel, with a reserve force of 800,000. The JSDF will integrate the training program to complete the addition of the extra troops in the next 4 years. To accommodate the reserve force, everyone who reaches the age of 20 will be obligated to conduct military training for 3-5 months, and will be pardoned from their place of work. The usage of cycles will be put in place to ensure limited labor shortage and to keep strain off of the economy. With the shock trials for the Type-001A completed, it would immediately be sent back to the shipyard in Osaka to be outfitted with its basic armament. With the completion of the testing phase, an additional 9 would be commissioned for existing strike groups, with another 8 commissioned for this year's strike groups being produced. The total additive cost equates to 10.7 billion.

The Japanese forces would begin mobilizing their ground troops to stage the operation to capture Hawaii. The first priority was to utilize strategic air strikes to cripple their communications and any armored forces that could be spotted. This process would take nearly 36 hours, as 124 various out dated tank models would find themselves burning, with 3 military centers, and 2 radio towers. As the Hawaiin forces began trying to patch up their runways, Japanese air power would suppress the attempt and bomb the equipment as they made their attempts. Finally, the invasion would begin with 2 Infantry Batallions, and an armored division. 1,800 Infantry 75 M1A2s 20 MOWAGs 5 Abbots The overall Hawaii military consisted of 11,000 Infantry, 350 tanks, and 400 assorted aircraft. As of now, the eastern section of the Honululu was secured, as Japanese forces prepared for extended urban conflict. Shortly afterwards, the Republic of Hawaii contacted the Japanese forces and surrendered, attempting to avoid heavy civilian loss of life. In the end, Hawaii surrendered and become a province of the Empire. The two strike groups would maintain a permanent presence on the islands, while the regime out forth a focused effort of repairing airstrip, radio towers and outposts. The remaining tanks would be melted down, while the F-16s and F-15s in the Hawaii air force would be modernized. Finally, the Japanese Regime would begin building OTH radar stations on Fiji, St Matthews and Hawaii, to develop early warning capabilities all across the Pacific. See below. Meanwhile, a series of 4 car bombings would take place in Chigoku, and would spark a crackdown in law enforcement, as the Japanese Regime would begin beefing up security on the island. Heavy regulations regarding any potential explosives would be put in place, while communications were monitored at loyalty stations to ensure compliance.

"Your protests are noted, however it will not restrict the Japanese Regime from acting in its best interests; to secure it's future and it's people. As it stands, the Emporer is satisfied with results of the campaign. You are welcome to file a complaint at the embassy, though it will take some time for the complaint to be arbitrated and addressed by the emporer."

"We do not recognize your authority in the matter. Your viewpoint of 'unprovoked does not match ours. The Metaboard illegally occupied Japanese territory and refused to return it to the Empire. The result was escalation and a display of strength. Had the global community prevented the illegal occupation initially, the Emporer would not have needed to use such drastic methods. In the end, the international community shares equal blame with the Japanese government."

As the forces subdued the islands to the South of Japan, martial law was declared, and ballistic defenses would be imported into the city, while the ground forces would entrench themselves with quickly flown in and constructed fortifications. 12 R-20 fighters would be recovered by the Japanese Military, where it would be shipped to the main research facility for the new generation of aircraft. Each area would have a standard military base built, while Okinawa would have an airstrip constructed on its island. Defensive Occupation Force: 1 battalion of soldiers 14 Iron Dome Batteries 150 Barrak-II missile interceptors 1 armored division 40 SM-6 anti-ship cruise missiles 3 S-400 anti-air batteries 1 flock of air squadrons(1 squad consists if 4 F-22s, 8 F-18 electronic warfare growlers, and 25 F-16s. 4 squads in a flock) Additionally, strike group 2 was diverted to securing the islands of Fiji and St Matthews. St Matthews, with a population of a mere 40 people, would agree to join the nation willingly. The Emporer would order. A standard defensive occupational force. Fiji would be less reluctant to allowing the Japanese occupation. However, with 2 strike groups sailing into the area around the island, a group of officials would negotiate with Japanese commanders. Fiji would increase its taxes by 2%, in order to fit into the Japanese system. The island would maintain administrative control over themselves, but would agree to host a military port, airstrip, and basic strategic facilities. The island would receive the basic defensive occupation force. Finally, 2 additional strike groups, 1 with the new French carrier, would sail over to Hmthe Republic of Hawaii, where the republic would refuse to join with the Japanese Empire. Not willing to accept this scenario, Japanese commanders were ordered to capture the island and occupy it for the Japanese government. A series of 22 tomahawk cruise missiles would be launch at point blank range, striking critical airstrip runways to prevent sorties, while the destroyers and subs would launch 13 torpedo at the island nation's 3 destroyers. The rapid assault would see a meager hawaii's navy and air force crippled within 20 minutes. Japanese forces are still withholding the updated details of the sotuation.

I'd like Hawaii, Fiji, and St Matthews island if I may. With any accompanying islands that go with them.
