Re-incorporation of Kyushu well under way.
The two remaining separated provinces in Kyushu are well on the way to re-entering the paternal family of His Majesty, with provincial leaders begging for re-incorporation in the face of the soviet-Jinrai axis of instability in East Asia. Speaking to the Imperial press the leader of the region of Satsuma said.
" The people of Satsuma do not trust the Shogunate due to its defensive pact with the USSR. We believe that it is only public pressure, and the influence of their client state Hokkaido which forces them to engage in an embargo and that as such they remain a grave threat, especially in regards to recent Soviet aggression to peace in east asia. As such I lead Satsuma wholeheartedly into returning to the embrace of the Empire to ensure that our people are protected from the tyranny of the Jinrai rebels and against any Soviet aggression"
The Imperial army was dispatched to ensure the peaceful re-incorporation of these provinces into the Empire.

Jinrai Hypocrisy
The rebel leadership of the Jinrai Shogunate again show their hypocrisy, as they simultaneously slander the Empire, calling it an aggressive power while allying with the Soviet regime. The people of Yamato clearly see through the facade of concern, as Jinrai remains in a defensive pact with the USSR while embargoing them. Speaking on this a storeperson from Nara said.
"Bound into a defensive pact with Soviet Russia, there is no depths to which the shogun will not go in a mad lust for power, It is clear to me that the Jinrai rebels will stop at nothing so long as it serves their interests. They are worse than the russians because at least the russians show the truth as to what they really are!"
Reports from the imperial palace in Kyoto speak of rumours that the government is considering embargoing Russia and the rebel region of the Jinrai shogunate and ceasing all trade with them for the blatant aggresssiveness of this pact. However sources close to Tenno Heika say that the Emperor is reluctant to resort to these measures out of concern for the wellbeing of the innocent civilians oppressed under these regimes. In particular it is said that he is concerned about his subjects under the Jinrai regime, and wishes only for their good health, thus explaining a long held question amongst Yamato political circles, why the Emperor has not engaged in punitive action against the rebel central regions.

Hokkaido enthralls itself with Jinrai
In a strange and unnatural turn of events the independent Ainu regions of Ezo and Tohoku have entered into the clientage of the rebel shogun. Imperial emissaries to Hokkaido have sent back reports that emissaries of the shogunate were seen entering the government offices in Sapporo presumably to engage in dialogue with the Ainu leaders.
Yamato however believes that the government in Sapporo was bribed by the shogun through the giving of exhorbitant gifts to key figures, and that it was finally swayed to flee into the arms of the shogunate out of fear of being crushed between the nefarious USSR-Jinrai alliance.

Jinrai rebels defect to Yamato!
In a sign of increasing malcontent in the Jinrai rebel regions, a cadre of 7 military officers has defected to Yamato! These officers remain under guard in a military facility, but statements from high command say that the officers are pleased to be under the patrimony of the Emperor and defected due to seeing the paternal care of the Emperor and comparing it to the coldness of the rebel government, and out of disgust of the rebel Shoguns abominable association with the USSR and blatant hypocrisy in its dealings with states.

Yamato joins the MRAC
Growing concerned at the axis between the USSR and the Jinrai rebels. The government of Yamato has entered into the MRAC joining the Empires of the Setting Sun, and the Empires of the Horn in alliance. Colloquially the MRAC is simply being called the League of Three Emperors due to the absence of monarchs of lower classes within the alliance.
This alliance has been met with much handshaking amongst the political class, who see this effort as the beginning of establishing a strong and peaceful co-operation between right thinking monarchies. The foreign office has urged all other crowns to consider entering into this alliance in order to ensure the defence of genuing liberty against the tyrannical communist states, such as the USSR, and against the horrors of internal rebellion as manifested by the hypocritical and nefarious Jinrai shogunate.
