After Action Report: Gyeongsangbuk-do

Day 901, 17:19 • Published in Japan Japan • by Japanese Imperial Army

Citizens of Japan and subjects of the Emperor, I wish to present the official after-action report for our invasion of Gyeongsanbuk-do.

544 soldiers fighting for the Empire of Japan were able to put up 357,000 damage at an expense of 418 gold in wellness packs. 427 soldiers fighting for South Korea did 330,000 damage at an expense of 676 gold. Due to the fewer number of fights and fighters, we also expect that the South Koreans had to use far more high quality weapons than Japan.

Breaking down each the contribution to each side by nation shows how extremely vulnerable South Korea is without outside mercenary assistance. Only 33.2% of the damage for SK was done by South Koreans, including the tanking of Alfagrem and 2 Theocrats. The rest was done by Eisenhorn, funded by Austrians, or Vincent Garibaldi and Malaysia.

On the Japanese side, Japan was responsible for 63.6% of the damage with Glorious Failure leading the way. Independent SEES American tanks contributed 24%, a far lower number than the 35% from foreign tanks for SK.

The number of fighters from each side however shows a startling fact. Despite being a nation of nearly 1800 citizens, Japan was only able to summon 550 soldiers to fight. Many who did fight also used only their fists. To increase our numbers two initiatives have been suggested. First: Japan must increase citizen participation in war. Media articles must be written and target information must be communicated more clearly. Secon😛 All citizens need to be properly armed and fueled for war. Use of q1 guns must be both encouraged and supplied to citizens and high wellness must be emphasized.

If the war were to continue as earlier, it is clear that Japan would be victorious. Our soldiers are more numerous, better equipped, and better funded. SK is nearly out of gold, and their weapons cost twice the market value in Japan currently. However, SK was able, by a 19-18 vote, able to secure a MPP with Germany. The political repercussions have led to a split in the ruling coalition in Germany with the Communists of Germany supporting SK, while their President realizes that Japan can now use this MPP to drain German damage from any defense of Hungary. As I speak, EDEN has regained the initiative and can restart it's offensive in central Europe. Any fighting in SK will now be done at a far lower priority given the nature of the World War.

In summary, Japan maintains the ability to start an offensive in SK with a high chance of success. The initial strength of South Korea will soon fade with foreign tanks being diverted elsewhere and their MPP damage nullified. Attacks on Japanese-held South Korea are of little worry due to the lack of firepower located in South Korea. It is of the opinion of the Ministry of Defense that the President may initiate attacks on South Korea at any time, especially if done in conjunction with a major EDEN attack.
