War.
War. We are at war. The civil war is barely two years behind us, the guns used in our brief confrontation with Rheinland are barely gone cold yet. I was powerless to stop it. Shogun Yamato, Minister Kogen. The entire Naval Forces Admiralty. Even Minister Yoshida and one of my own, Tachibana, agreed with the counter-invasion proposal. Of course his Imperial Majesty Kogen-sama was also thrilled. I opposed it, together with Kojirou-san. No avail. The duty to declare war fell upon me, so I did. I betrayed everyone's trust. War is not prosperity.
I am leading this nation to war alongside his Imperial Majesty and the Shogun. I do not know if I can actually do this. Something needs to change here. The whole system. Iri, I need your help. We need to change our approach. Kusari needs change. I do. We do. Our plan is in jeopardy if I cannot grip tighter control of things.
