The grand war room of Malacañang Palace buzzed with a sense of urgency as King Alfonso entered, flanked by his high-ranking military officials. Director Armand of the Royal Intelligence Agency (RIA) took his place at the front, ready to deliver the critical information that had interrupted the royal family's breakfast.
Armand, a figure with a keen intellect and a network of well-placed spies, began the briefing. "Your Majesty, esteemed military officials, the information I am about to share pertains to the imminent threat we face. Our sources have provided intelligence on Japan's intentions in the Southeast Asian and Pacific regions."
The room fell silent as the weight of the impending threat settled in. Maps depicting the vastness of the Pacific and Southeast Asia adorned the walls, their once static features now imbued with an impending sense of movement and conflict.
