Countering the Enemy

Shortly after Berengar's declaration of war, Itami received news of her own troops' misdeeds. Just as Borneo was about to fall into her hands, her soldiers had killed a group of German scouts, and in doing so, brought war upon her empire. 

Naturally, the albino beauty was suspicious of the circumstances. From what she had been told, the German soldiers were equipped in Majapahit pattern uniforms, and had painted their skin in a woodland camouflaged. It was almost as if Germany was deliberately baiting her troops to attack. 

Itami would not put it past her rival to stage a false flag like this. She just couldn't understand why he would sacrifice a national war hero in the process. The Japanese Empress would never know that the sacrificial lambs were all terminally ill soldiers who died in service of their country in exchange for having their families looked after by the state.
