Great warriors and defenders of the Empire.
Over the past three decades, our beloved nation faced many challenges and immeasurable suffering. The blood of millions still soaks our soil and true peace remains a meager dream lingering at the horizon.
Our glorious nation survived. Our nation is able to strive again despite all obstacles thrown at us. All due to everyone's sheer astonishing commitment and will to bleed for the Empire and her people.

I share your vision for stability and peace, your desire to see the tides of war subside. However, our enemies remain numerous and restless. For the glory and survival of the Empire of the shining suns and all her children, we cannot rest just yet. We have to stay vigilant.

The Empire's army is strong, our domestic doctrines still as effective as the day they were introduced, yet cracks and flaws became painfully visible during our clash with the bane of Sirius, the Gallic mass murderers. While successful, our campaign proved what some already feared: The Imperial Kusari Navy is in dire need for technological advances capable of overwhelming current and future secret superweapons of other nations. The Rheinland Blitz 801 A.S., the crushing breakthrough of the Gallic "Valor" during our campaign against the Bretonian Kingdom and the latest stalemates after the initial success of our own Blitz against Gallia just underlined the necessity for the Kusari Empire to strive for greater military developments.

The engineers of Kure achieved to construct the tool required for our next step in warfare. Several years of development and military as well as intelligence data from centuries fused into the pure embodiment of the Emperor's wrath. I am pleased to announce that the final prototype of the "Meiji" has finished its last trial flights several months ago. Limited mass production of the new vessels are to begin in the nearby future and will form the Imperial Armed Forces' spine.

[ACCESS GRANTED TO: Low + Mid Command]
[ACCESS GRANTED: Admiralty only]

In addition to the new age of warships entering our ranks, the Imperial Armed Forces and the Imperial Guard as a whole will undergo drastic reformations including the introduction of new war and domestic peace time doctrines.

Katajikenai, warriors. Keep making the Empire and her people proud.

In humble service of His Imperial Majesty,
Okamoto Goro
Kaigun Gensui
1st Major Fleet: Matsumoto
