Emperor Asha gazed upon the letter in his hand, which was written by the Japanese Empress herself. As he read its contents, a slight shiver made its way down his spine. The following words were written by Itami as a means to condemn the Bengal Army, and ensure that they fell back in line as a proper puppet.
"Dear Emperor Asha Sarkar,
I have learned that you have only recently began your conquest of Ava. The reason behind your delay is that your army spends more time looting and raping than it does fighting. I am most disappointed by your leadership; perhaps I have chosen the wrong state to support in India.
I am certain your neighbours would be most interested in the weapons I sold you. Correct your ways, accept the advice of my officers, and do not disappoint me again. Your Empire will not survive the consequences of doing so.
Sincerely,
Empress Itami Riyo"
