Order 227
The young Empress Itami sat within her quarters as her director of intelligence, Nakamura Hana, reported the incident that had occurred off the shores of Australia. She had a timid tone in her voice, as if fearful of how the young Empress would respond.
"Admiral Izumi Hiramori reports that the Germans have established a naval outpost on the western shores of a rather large landmass located in the southeast Pacific. He came close to engaging in a battle with the Germans, but ultimately decided not to at the last moment. By now, the Germans are aware that we know of their actions and should be formulating a response. What are your orders?"
