Part of the campaign:

To be Japanese is to be orderly, united, and against Europe. To live under Japanese rule means to be Japanese and obey.



To go against Japan is to go against millions.

The race for Sakhalin is one of length, not speed. Russia is already overextended in the Balkans and in Asia.

Britain has interest in our sphere, and that causes some to worry. Japan is strong, the sun will shine on you as well.

Russia is overextended in Anatolia, not the Balkans.



Must be nice to be a Slav, where all you have to do is whine about land then Russia gets the belt out.

The Persian campaign is disorganized as orders are sent on a monthly interval. Its not like we forgot, just that it seems easy enough to leave to some random officers.

Managing rebels is harder than fighting Persia, lets be honest.

Colonies are colonies. We educate those who want educated, not the entire village and their surroundings.

expandong these ports

expandong the empire

And nothing really changed!

Educating the entire village and their surroundings by decree of the Emperor, but only if the village is Japanese.

IN HELL WE DINE

TIME TO BURN SOME FUCKING SHIT

FUCK YOUR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOATS

PAINT THE PALACE RED WITH BLOOD

SINK SHIPS AND KILL THIS

Whew. Feel better now that its out of my system.

Thanks for the land. Prepare another treaty, because we'll be back.

New land means new potential rebels.

A month after instating camps along Manchuria, Korea, and Vietnam, well read Japanese civilians are tired of our policy towards them.

400,000 soldiers is more than enough to suppress the May Rebellion.

Such primitive weaponry against disciplined soldiers will never work.

Propaganda on the other hand...

It'd be nice if you could indoctrinate your own citizens to not rebel.

No Mandate of Heaven here, only Japan.

Satsuma has a little rebellion. How cute.

Crushed~

The recent rebellions, though weak, have taken a small toll on our soldiers. The JSDF is expanded.

Officers are jealous of leading armies with no name. Citing the JSDF's separate status as reason to change the names of their army, I handpick names for each unit.

The names were mostly based on where the army was from or where they were stationed.

Individuality is great and all, but the king is still supreme. A small payment is sent to every family, with a little note that reads: OBEY THE LAW

Europe had decided to engage in African politics at the "St.Petersburg conference" after some time. Angered at being left out, some generals forge a reason for war with Sweden, as they control the Congo. We need no such thing.

We can oppress natives all on our own, thank you very much.

Almost an immediate reaction from the people. News stations are to be censored more.

Common men die, it is the cycle of life.

Common, but they are still Japanese.

Not bound to the country, bound to the state.

Propaganda spreads from the educated to the efficient.

And efficient to the essential.

Less workers in the homeland should mean that the colonies should work harder.

Oh? Something rather serious arrives.

A war with the United Kingdom in order to restore what was lost. Pardon my memory, but I do believe we fought a war to stop this

Anger, comparable only to the sun's rage.



Swiftly we will take back their land and hold. When the opponents disgusting forces are defeated, we move to take the rest of the peninsula.

At the same time, we position troops to hold a defensive line against the Indian forces. Two separate theatres to take down one enemy.

They will pay. New armies have yet to earn a name will be the first there.

Imports from Europe and America are important to finish what we cannot produce. The Panama canal is to be constructed to fix input issues.

All the money you need

Diplomats are sent to the kingdom, requesting access. We truly intend to restore what was lost, let us pass.

They accept and forces land. The 2nd is split and all three are renamed. 3 land armies are entrusted the occupation of Northern Malaya.

Satsuma has a big rebellion.

Uncivilized samurai get in our way and make the top brass hesitant to pass reforms.

How cute.

Another naval base.

Another port for our navy.

Unity, brethren, is needed to secure Asia from the Europeans. They have shown that they care not for treaties.

Progress in arms.

More land, closer to European holdings and bordering the Dutch. Not important land, but it is a step in the right direction.

Disloyalty is rampant among natives. Can you not see? The Europeans are taking and oppressing you! Only Japan can save Asia! Only Japan!

Disgusting. Mexico conquered and had her conquests revoked.

By, of course, the British.

Requests for access through Japan? A quick look at Europe explains why. Embroiled in the fires of war. The Balkan League is formed to take back land from the Ottomans and consists of: Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Greece (supportive member). Factions and alliances will be the downfall of greater nations.

Fuck the Brits



Russia is allowed just to spite them.

oh boy

The United Kingdom and Germany against France, Russia, and Belgium.

So basically Germany vs. France+Russia

We observe the war so that we may strike when need be. Germany goes on two offensives to secure the frontline and buy time to mobilize their populace.

The Qing are fighting a war of their own, one against their people.

Bigger guns and better men. War has changed.

Same procedure

A spy is sent to probe the coast of India and the homeland of the British.

Several maneuvers are done to ensure secrecy and information.

Diplomats are sent to France so that we can fully assess this new modern warfare.

The German push has been broken, and French soldiers march up through Bavaria.

Slavic gains are to be expected.

The JSDF is expanded, as the larger population means stronger rebellions.

There is a new front; one at home. The possibility of losing when our back is turned has risen with the people. A war with any power is one of fear now. One of propaganda, of spies, of loyalty, and of strength.



War has changed.
