OPERATIONS ORDER: IMPERIAL GHQ - 9 August 1945

Intelligence has detected a buildup of Soviet forces along
the Manchurian border. An attack may be imminent. You are
charged with defending the province of Manchukuo should
the Soviets be foolish enough to attack us.

As you are aware the forces of the Kwantung army are not
what they were, as many of our most experienced warriors
and their equipment have been drawn off to fight for the
Emperor in other theaters. You will have to make due with
the conscript forces that have been raised in their place.

Fortunately the enemy is not aware of our material
weakness and our Intelligence forces report that the
Soviets have only managed to gather a force of
approximately 750,000 men thus far.  At worst, you
will face 1:1 odds in troops, allowing you to utilize
the superior fighting spirit of your men. 

The Emperor expects every man to do his duty. Good luck
General!
