-Emperor Bombur: How do you explain the bad news?
-Yamamoto: What bad news?
-Emperor Bombur: Weren´t you informed on the disaster at Kwalajein?
-Yamamoto: Disaster? Just a minor incident in path to victory
-Emperor: Are you drunk? The enemy carriers attacked our base, destroyed 9 submarines, five destroyers, three light cruisers and 3 Minelayers, and we are uncertain on how many more ships will sink!!!
Are you attempting to outperform Nik in mistakes?
-Yamamoto: Well, not trying....I fear I already outperformed him, but look to the bright side, our Nells sank a DD. If we place a few Zeroes and Betties there we can stop the enemy. The only trouble is that the Army is too slow in taking the Phillipines and so we can´t release more planes.
-Tojo: After this shameful performance you´re still blaming the Army?
-Emperor Bombur: Who had the brilliant idea of putting all those subs in the harbour?
......(silence).....
-Emperor Bombur: Any good news?
-Tojo: well, we took Naga
-Yamamoto: Which was abandoned by the enemy....
-Yamamoto (again): We destroyed an enemy CL and possibly 2 enemy DD´s near Brunei. Nik send his light forces against KB, again....
-Emperor Bombur: This is hardly a great achievement, considering Nik´s victory, if we go on doing things like this he will be in Tokyo by Christmas, as he promised
-Yamamoto: Will president Nik visit us?

-A psychiatrist examined all the IJN leadership and he was unable to conclude if they were suffering from attention disorder or just sheer stupidity. The doctor suggested to place all the admirals on Ritalin (since stupidity can´t be treated anyway) and high priority was given to the production of this drug (2 heavy industry points/ton)[:D]
Beautiful move by Nik at Kwajalein. And he actually got some torpedo hits out of the Devastators! Also, the Allies at Malacca are doing remarkably well considering how outgunned they are.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Why thank you my good man....yes i was rather proud of that operation myself.
All my detractors can stop and stare at my sheer audacity, my deft move.....my beefy playstyle.....autographs and signed book copies of my autobiography "GOD OF WAR" are available in the gift shop.
US First Team celebrates victory....Pilots confirm twelve obsolescent A5M "Claude" aircraft were shot down in exchange for 1 F4F, badly shot up by an enemy fighter and written off on return to the home carrier. "Claudes" were also directly or indirectly responsible for 3 SBD's, 2 of which ditched before returning and one that never made it back after flying off trailing smoke. Four twin engine G3M "Nell" aircraft were confirmed shot down with another 2-3 accounted for by Flak.
Not a bad investment for the return given. Poor wittle CVL Hermes is avenged!

-Emperor Bombur: What exactly is going on in the Philipinnes? Does anyone have an explanation?
-Tojo: I don´t know, the whole thing is somewhat strange, the enemy troops seem to have retreated, but this wasn´t completely unexpected. The mistery is: why did them retreat to Bataan and not to Manila?
-Yamamoto: Maybe they stockpiled lots of supplies in Bataan? Intel registers at least 30 units there.....
-Tojo: Still makes no sense, why didn´t they choose Manila, where they could take advantage of urban warfare...
-Yamashita (renectly arrived from Malaya): I simply can´t understand
-Emperor Bombur: It seems you cannot understand nothing....the things in Malaya aren´t goinf exactly well either
-Yamashita: Well, the enemy is putting unexpected resistance there, but whe have a plan....
-Tojo: Back to Phillipines, isn´t the enemy planning a counterattack against San Marcelino?
-Emperor Bombur: It seems to make some sense....let us see what happens....at least Clark field is ours, the Betty pilots will be happy.....
