Indonesia and Japan: Just a War Game?

Day 599, 12:59 Published in Austria Austria by Rangeley

With the world's attention diverted to Scotland, where Hungary took the territory from the United Kingdom as a part of an agreement, another important "war game" has begun in the far east. Taking place in Fujian, perhaps the most ominous sign of things to come is the instructions given by the government of Indonesia: "Just make an Hospital War and do not use gold or High Quality Weapon because we will have more deadly War in short time."

In order to find out more on the situation, The Austrian Independent interviewed Miyamoto Musashi, a member of the Kageki Minshutou party, and Congressman in Japan, on the subject.

Q. As a Japanese congressman, what is your opinion on the possibility that PEACE GC will launch a war against the United States through Japan?
A. I am concerned that Japan is losing its position as an independent, peaceful country. Japan was a founding member of PEACE but has long been a country of peace and respect for other countries. If Indonesia is planning to attack the United States I would be greatly opposed. While there is enmity between the two countries, there was nothing that would warrant an attack on the United States.

Q. With Hungary taking Scotland recently, many Austrians are worried the "war games" between Indonesia and Japan are part of a related campaign against the United States. Is this how you view it?
A. I have not followed the action in Western Europe, but from a tactical standpoint trying to fight two fronts is a difficult proposition. I do not know the plans of PEACE or if the two fronts are coordinated, but tactically that would be logical.

Q. What will Japan's role in the conflict be, as a member of PEACE GC?
A. I do not know what role the Japanese Imperial Army is planning to take in PEACE's activities, although to this point the JIA has not been very active in any military engagements. I am sure there will be announcement soon from the powers that be.

Q. In Austria, there is growing opposition to involvement in PEACE GC's war. Is there significant opposition in Japan to the war as well?
A. I think the Japanese populace is still waking up to the news - this is really the first time we've been directly involved in any military activity. While I have been vocal in my opposition to the decisions made, I have only seen a few individuals with clear opposition. There are a great many who voted for the action despite previous opposition, a position I do not understand.

It seems that a recurring theme is emerging, of nations having their foreign policy co-opted by elements of PEACE GC desiring anything but peace. The Austrian Independent will continue to follow this story as it develops, and whether Indonesia moves into position to strike the United States in Hawaii.
