Selected Session Excerpts said:To the Heavenly Sovereign and National Diet of the Heavenly Empire of Japan:
I must thank you all for assembling on such short notice to discuss a matter of the greatest urgency to the national defense of the Empire. In the year of the common calendar 1783, the Imperial Government of the Xin Han Chinese Empire, pursuing a course of ever-greater treachery against its neighbors, actively and without cause sponsored, aided, and abetted separatist elements in Manchuria, as well as equipped outlaw naval forces operating in the South China Sea with equipment of a signature greatly similar to our own. In addition, we have been made aware of their support for Sunni rebels in the Kandid Persian Shahdom, as well as their support of rebel elements in the Holy Roman Empire [of the French Nation] colonies of Sumatra and Siam. This, combined with their sudden invasion of the Rajput Empire of India, displays a clear pattern of perfidious aggression to all surrounding neighbors. The long-known and the long-expected has thus taken place. The forces which so long ago were put in check to keep them from annihilating us have once more resumed their march. Never before has there been a greater challenge to our life, liberty, or civilization. Delay invites great danger. Rapid and united effort by all of the peoples of the Heavenly Empire who are determined to remain self-assertive under our Constitution will insure a victory of the forces of order and righteousness over the forces of treachery and deceit.
I therefore request the National Diet revoke all outstanding treaties with the Xin Han Chinese Empire and to recognize a state of war against the same.

Rebel Leader: (SILENCE)
Kuchiki Byakuya: We have ways of making you talk. We are not afraid to use them to get what we want.
Aberai Renji: Let me hit him a few times, then he’ll talk.
Kuchiki Byakuya: That would be imprudent. You might knock him out. I will give you one more chance to tell us what we want to know.
Rebel Leader: (SILENCE)
Aberai Renji: (HITS SUBJECT)
Kuchiki Byakuya: I will only tell you once, Aberai-san, do not strike him again.
Rebel Leader: (INAUDIABLE)
Kuchiki Byakuya: Get me the hammer and bring the battery as well.
Aberai Renji: (INAUDIABLE)
Kuchiki Byakuya: This is how this is going to work. I’m going to break one of your toes, then I’m going to ask you again. You will either respond, or you won’t. If you do, we can end all of the pain. If you don’t, I break another toe. If I get through all your toes, I’ll continue on to your fingers. If you still don’t talk, then we try something new.
Rebel Leader: Y-you can’t!
Aberai Renji: The hell we can’t!
Kuchiki Byakuya: Let us begin.
Rebel Leader: (SCREAM OF PAIN)
Kuchiki Byakuya: Who is financing you?
Rebel Leader: I… you… can’t…
Kuchiki Byakuya: Insufficient.
Rebel Leader (SCREAM OF PAIN)
Kuchiki Byakuya: Who is financing you?
Rebel Leader: B-bastar—(SCREAM OF PAIN)
Kuchiki Byakuya: We can make all of this stop if you tell us what we want to know.
Rebel Leader: (INAUDIABLE) … T-they said they agents of a “great power”… great asian power… they tried to make it seem like they were Russian but they looked and acted Chinese… all the supplies they wanted to send were coming out of China, all of Chinese origin… guns, propaganda… we assumed it was just a cover…
Kuchiki Byakuya: Good enough for now. Give our witness some morphine then, Aberai-san. Make his pain go away. We’ll continue later.Naikaku Jouho Chousashitsu Intelligence Report said:[…] in addition to the testimonials of captured insurgent leaders. Our own intelligence indicates a low presence of Russian agents in Manchuria. Our surveillance of known agents has not revealed any connection, and our best analysis concludes they are focusing on the European theater. Tangential figures related to the insurgent movement appear to be of various origins, including Russian, Chinese, Malays, Portuguese, Dutch, and French. Chief tangential elements are mostly criminal or mercenary in nature. Several arms dealers and smugglers have been apprehended during operations. Several of the foreign nationals claim to have been “Shanghaied” and abducted from their normal circumstances before being forced to smuggle weapons on behalf of Zhongguojing. This is in addition to two persons of Chinese descent, presumably agent provocateurs, who claim to be working directly for the Xin Han Chinese government […]
[…] Our additional resources detail other Chinese sponsored acts of supporting guerilla and insurgent activity, including but not limited to the following:
- Holy Roman Empire Colony of Sumatra: Public records documentation of ships disembarking upon the island reveals a sudden surge in activity of Chinese vessels immediately prior to the attacks. Evidence also establishes the presence of numerous agents with operational patterns exceedingly similar to those of agents encountered in Manchuria. See also: 5C.
- Holy Roman Empire Colony of Java: Pirate attack vessels are designed uncannily similar to existing Japanese Imperial Navy designs. Repeated and detailed security checks have isolated no breach sufficient to copy the exacting detail of the sample recovered by the Holy Roman Empire. Chinese observation of Japanese ships in port during defensive exercises has been noted and logged previously by the admiralty, and apprehension of pirate vessels and crew during repeated investigations into the affair have, after resulting interrogation and investigation, revealed similar ties to Sumatra and Manchuria. See also: 7A.
- Holy Roman Empire Colony of Karachi: Detailed analysis of attack patterns utilized by insurgents in Karachi match almost identically those of the rebels in Burma, down to minute operational details. This exceeds the probability of chance and given common interest suggests Chinese involvement in both incidents, despite repeated denials of having interfered in Burma or other possessions of the Holy Roman Empire. See also: 8E.
- Kandid Persian Shahdom: Analysis of intelligence reports gathered during liaison work with military adjuncts in the Kandid Persian Shahdom has revealed a pattern of behavior amongst Sunni insurgents very strongly reminiscent of those observed in Karachi and Burma, along with the direct and supportable evidence of Chinese agents instigating revolt and conspiring with the Sunni nobility in both Iran and Iraq to assist the rebels. See also: 10B. Russian involvement was also detected along with indication of Chinese cooperation with Russian agents to destabilize the Kandid Persian Shahdom. See also: 10D. […]Declaring that a state of war exists between the Imperial Government and the people of the Heavenly Empire of Japan and the Imperial Government and the people of the Xin Han Chinese Empire and making provisions to prosecute the same.
Whereas the Imperial Government of the Xin Han Chinese Empire has committed unprovoked acts of war against the Imperial Government and the people of the Heavenly Empire of Japan and engaged in conspiracy to disable or destroy the same:
Therefore be it Resolved by the House of Councilors and the House of Representatives of the Heavenly Empire of Japan in the National Diet assembled, with the blessing of the Heavenly Sovereign, that the state of war between the Heavenly Empire of Japan and the Xin Han Chinese Empire which has thus been thrust upon the Heavenly Empire is hereby formally declared; and the Prime Minister is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the Heavenly Empire of Japan and the resources of the government to carry on war against the Xin Han Chinese Empire; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the National Diet of the Heavenly Empire of Japan.
