It had been months since Yi Min-Ah had returned to the Japanese mainland, and during this time she had shut herself away in order to properly grieve her family, or so Itami thought. In reality the girl had been skulking about, listening into the Japanese Empress's conversations, while never making contact with her.
She secretly reported this news to German agents embedded in Japan who would convey it back to the Reich. Of course Itami knew none of this, and instead was operating under the policy of giving the woman time to properly settle her emotions.
However, the war in Borneo had lasted for a little over a week at this point, and during this time, Itami's losses were substantial. She had not expected such fierce resistance in the region, nor was she able to navigate her fleet to the Majapahit Empire's capital in a bid to end the war swiftly.
