Narrowly Avoiding All Out Warfare Part I

Both the German and Japanese Empires were facing an imminent crisis. The war rooms of both palaces were filled with generals, admirals, and politicians alike, all of whom coordinated together with their forces who, as of this moment, had begun mobilizing to war.

Itami was anxiously staring at the map, which was continually updated by one of her officers to represent the latest news they had received from their forces on the front line. It would appear that the Germans had responded to this crisis in the same manner she had. War seemed to be inevitable, and the Japanese Empress knew that her armed forces were currently not up to the task. 

However, as Itami struggled to keep herself from biting her nails, a message came through from the German Embassy, who had contacted a Japanese relay ship stationed in the Bohai Bay. Just when she thought that all hope was lost, the other side had reached out to her, which was reported by one of her comms officers.
