[Machine Translation] July 1940. Navy Minister Zengo Yoshida, troubled by the Tripartite Pact issue, meets with his classmates Isoroku Yamamoto and Teikichi Hori to reach a solution. The result was an agonizing decision to avoid an outbreak of war with the U.S.-conclusion of an alliance with Germany and a declaration of war on Great Britain and the Netherlands. Furthermore, Yamamoto announced to the world the battleship "Yamato," which was under construction, to check the United States. Then, in September, Yamamoto won a battle against the British Eastern Fleet. Japan won the battle against the British Oriental Fleet and occupied the island of Ceylon. Japan acquired oil resources in the south and established a fleet in the Indian Ocean centering on battleships. The U.S. was unable to enter the war due to the presidential election, and Japan's plan seemed to have worked. However, the U.S. was steadily preparing to enter the war. Then, in 1942, the U.S. was forced to declare war on Japan. In order to get Japan to declare war, the U.S. laid a trap.
