Yotamono,

An excellent question you have brought forward.

I cannot offer you places in a would-be cabinet, nor do I myself seek one for any lengthy period of time, yet in spite of this, there remains one principle that I wish we abide by. Kusari will no longer allow itself to be humiliated by Liberty, and we must see to it that our military brings about a new kind of war, one for which we have honed our blade for many months and years. I have, these past weeks, visited our frontline troops from my position as Lord Protector - their conviction in our cause is absolute, and we cannot allow some meddling bureaucrats on New Tokyo to stand in our way. Rest assured that when the time comes, we will not be alone.

But I speak in riddles, perhaps, for the common man. You will be given amnesty for your heroic deeds, you will be offered a generous fund to compensate for any injuries sustained throughout this mission and more to cover travel and residence on any of the Core Worlds, and once the matter is dealt with, those amongst you who desire to contribute to the war effort will be provided with ample training and the resources to be the vanguard of the Naval Forces.

With utmost regards,
Lord Protector Mitsuo
