OPERATIONS ORDER: Defend the Emperor

After the defeats in Manchuria, Okinawa and against the American 
Bombing offensive many of our cities are in ruin and our defences 
are seriously weakened.

The Emperor has issued instructions and a new Government has been 
formed the Japanese people will fight until the end. 

New weapons are trickling in from what remains of our Industry and 
our Army is reorganising - General Yamashita has been pulled from 
Luzon and ordered to command the most threatened sector - Kyushu - 
even in a short month his impact has been felt as defences are 
strengthened - his one condition with the full backing of the 
Emperor was that all forces on Kyushu must report to him.

It will be a long and hard fight but victory must be achieved.

Within a year we hope the Americans will work out that Japan can 
never be conquered at this point a more reasonable peace may be 
negotiated.

Only time will tell if we can achieve this goal.
