Another three months had passed since the day that Itami's soldiers had massacred an entire village. An incident which sparked an entire new wave of insurgency to appear within the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula.
Itami, perhaps fearing for her own personal security, had returned to the Japanese mainland, leaving the control of the forces in Korea under the command of her lead General Shiba Kiyohiko. Upon her return to Japan, she had instantly begun developing new technologies to increase her industrial output and her military capabilities.
By securing vast deposits of iron, coal, and other major industrial resources within the Taebaek mountains. Itami had immediately shifted her focus to building a powerful fleet of warships that was capable of contending with the Reich.
