Emperor Yoshiro had ordered Naomi Shirada and the unnamed Imperial Commander to concentrate their efforts on defending the numerous shrines and statues that dotted the islands, as well as the critical port facilities that were vital to the continued operation of his fleet. When the Allies arrived, they were surprised to see that the Empire was in such a state of readiness, but elected to continue the attack regardless, hoping that their numbers and firepower would break the stubborn Japanese defenses. Thanks to Prince Tatsu's spy, the Imperial forces were more than ready for them, and a full half of the Imperial fleet was prepared to engage the foreign invaders. The Allies had intended on possessing the element of surprise for their attack, in hopes of quickly seizing the port and minimizing their causalities.
Unfortunately for the Allies, however, Tatsu's spy within the Allied leadership tipped him off to this offensive, and a warning was sent to the forces at Pearl Harbor, thus setting the stage for the battle. It is unknown if the attack would have been successful had everything gone to plan for Fuller's forces. This pre-emptive strike was intended to cripple the Imperial fleet before it could be launched against the Allies, as well as demoralize the Japanese population into backing down from their threats. Seeing that a new enemy had arisen to threaten their way of life, Allied High Command dispatched a considerable naval force under the direction of Commander Warren Fuller to seize the Japanese port at Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately for the Emperor, the Allies remained much more headstrong than he predicted.
In a bombastic speech delivered across the Allied Nations, the Emperor warned them of the consequences of defying the Empire of the Rising Sun, and urged them to submit to his divine leadership, so as to avoid a fate similar to that suffered by the Soviets.Īlthough this move was criticized by the Emperor's son, Crown Prince Tatsu, for squandering the element of surprise, the Emperor was confident that the show of force leveled against the Soviets would be enough incentive for the Allies to surrender. With the resistance of the Soviet people apparently crushed and their armies in disarray, Emperor Yoshiro decided to shift his focus over to the Allies. These statues must be protected from the Allies
