Commander,

We have seized Singapore, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies.
A small holdout force on Corregidor island is all that stands 
between us and total domination over the Philipenes.  

Our Army forces have reached the city of Mandalay and Burma
is about to be overrun. Our recent raid in the Indian Ocean
led to the sinking of the British aircraft carrier Hermes.

However, these recent successes are not enough to win the war. 
We must force the enemy, especially the Americans, to a 
peace treaty by invading their territories and home islands.  

You must continue to take the fight to the enemy by advancing 
towards Guadalcanal and Port Moresby.  If we succeed, 
we will cut the Australian supply lines and this will enable us
to better protect the southern flank of our Co-Prosperity sphere. 

The Emperor is counting on you. 
 
Long live the Empire of the Rising Sun! BANZAI!
