Empire of Japan, Tokyo Broadcasting Station 4, June 5th 1988

Prime Minister Haruno Takashi sat beside a news Reporter, Toso, they were in deep conservation about the Kasumi Incident from 2 weeks prior, after they were attacked, Japan and the HME were in deep talks on the entire issue, Japan wanted to pay for damages and lost ones, but refused to allow the men to be charged as it was self defense, while the HME wanted War, which was to to find a cause as it was A Self Defense Attack on International Waters.

They had tried to paint Japan as the Attacker, but Japan released the Video to the public, disproving that, but the HME controlled the flow inside their country and so they denied the events, Japan then Sent Kondo to Runepolis to negotiate a good settlement to end the tension, having spend 1 year in Mu, he had changed, he lost his left arm in a Intense Battle near Sonal, he had scars all over his body and walked with a limp, but he was no longer a soldier but a diplomat again, to ensure he didn't mess it up, they sent his commanding officer as support.

Intense Debates, Arguments and more were common as Japan tried to peacefully resolve the Issue while the HME was cooked up in a fury of Anti-Japanese Views and openly falling against anything Japanese.

Toso Looked at Takashi and began his questions.

''Mr.Prime Minister, do you think the Kasumi Incident will lead to a all out war with the Central world? seeing as we have yet to finish off the Ragna Pact, fears of a 2nd Pacific War is looming'' Toso Asked

''I do not Hope so, Both our Empires would like to see this incident resolved with honor and peace if possible, and to draw a parallel with our Past wars is wrong, this was not a war of enslavement, but one of liberation, the world sees it and they know it as well, And as to the War Situation, By Landmass liberated by us and our Allies, it is more than we have hoped for, the War Situation is quite in our View of Victory'' Takashi Said

And he was right, over the past few weeks, Mu and Japan had been successful in taking some 15% of Hinomawari, as Japan and Mu concentrated many troops there and under Marshal Von Preuben, crushed Gra Valkas, killing 75 000 and only losing 12 000 Killed. The Line there was thin due to most troops being sent to Nigrat or Leifor, leaving the center weak, the 800 000 Soldiers were facing 2 Million Soldiers,that was a 2.5 to 1 odds, For Comparison, the Leifor Front was 3.5 Million to 3 Million and the Nigrat Front was 4 Million to 3 Million.

''Wise Words, Now should talks break down, will Japan be the first to attack or declare war?'' Toso prodded.

''No, Japan will not seek to attack even if talks turn cold, we value the Independence of States, Great powers as well. We will not be the ones to fire first, all we want is to resolve things without plunging millions of good people of the Holy Mirishrial Empire into a terrible war which will only see millions killed for fruitless gains'' Takashi explained

''If that is true, why is it that Recent Build up of Japanese Soldiers have been sighted in the Kingdom of Nates and a Further 4 million soldiers called to Arms? Are you saying your hoping for war by these Actions?'' Toso said

Takashi was Silent, these Measures were true, they were soldiers being called in the event of War with the HME, And now on Live TV across the world, it was out in the open, not that it helped as the quickness of the build up was seen all over the World, not hard to ignore.

''I Think you have proven that your misinformation is well known, these Measures are not for some Fallacy War with the Holy Mirishrial Empire, They are to continued putting the Noose to the Neck of the United States of Gra Valkas, nothing else, honestly i expected more from the likes of you, maybe you doubt the supreme wisdom of the Emperor?'' Takashi said
