The Japanese Reaction
Itami stared at the map, which displayed the most recent information about her current operations overseas, with a gaze of disbelief on her immaculate face. She did not understand how this had occurred.
For six months she had kept her plans to invade Borneo as an absolute secret, so much so that the majority of the troops who were sent to conquer the Island had no idea they were headed to Borneo until the day of their assault.
Instead, all effort was directed towards the Northern Philippines being her target. And yet, the Majapahit Empire not only knew she would be attacking, they had made ample preparations. While Itami had known for some time that Germany was supplying and training the Majapahit Army. She had assumed it was at a technological level on par with the Anangpur and Bengal armies.
