The war for Japan was rapidly coming to a close. After landing over one hundred thousand troops on the Japanese Mainland within a period of forty eight hours, those few warlords who had not yet been eliminated fled to the hills with what little men and munitions they could bring with them.
As for those Japanese soldiers left behind, they began surrendering to the Germans the moment they spotted a panther tank rolling through town. By now, the German Empire, and its allies, had too many prisoners of war to properly handle, and had thus begun the construction of temporary internment camps within the southern half of Japan.
With the city of Heian-kyō under German occupation, and the warlords on the run, Berengar decided now was the perfect time to announce an end to the war, and thus at this moment, he was in flight towards Japan with Itami sitting across from him.
