The Nippon Intervention Force bounces back and forth from Minneapolis to Denver to Salt Lake City like ping-pong. As it arrives in one region, another catastrophe occurs in the region it just left behind. Approximately 30 American divisions were recently trapped behind enemy lines but were saved by the Nippon Army.

Takemoto is frustrated. There are too many fascists, too many communists, not enough Americans. He has relayed his concerns to Defense Minister Michael Flynn, who has repeatedly urged withdrawing from the mountainous areas and encircling the enemy in the plains, to the disagreement of some other Trump officials. Flynn has military experience, he understands. The rest, not so much.

The Second American Civil War continues, reaching almost its seventh year of intense warfare. Even after all is said and done a faction consolidates control over nation once more, America will never be the same. Blown out cities, mines everywhere, millions resettled in different countries and unlikely to return, American corporations restructured in Europe and Nippon, so much has changed.

Nippon fights on. Tokio urges it.
