Your entire argument is flawed. Napoleon is a known warmonger, and he just settled land that we Japanese had claimed. That is a legitimate cause for war, for you people that don't know the first thing about war and politics.
Yet, we know he thirsts for war. This is a KNOWN fact. It is not disputed by any. That is who he is. Sonereals plan would have us attack him when we are ready, and he's not. Your plan is to wait until he's ready to attack us.
Also, you seem to be ignoring the fact that if we attack first, only those who are in the Japanese military may die. If THEY attack first, then not only may we lose the war, but even if we drive them away, our countryside will be devastated, hundreds of thousands of Japanese will die that NEVER EVEN SIGNED UP FOR THE ARMY, but who were living peaceful lives, IN ADDITION TO the soldiers in the military that will die defending our homes. You are basically saying its okay to throw away japanese lives if france attacks first. But the people won't be grateful to you when there was a chance you could have peeve ted those Japanese from dying in the first place.
You claim that the people won't support an offensive war against France. But why wouldn't they? The french just assaulted Japan's honor, which the government claims the people hold in such high esteem. They watched us claim some land, then laughed in our faces and proceeded to settle said land in front of our eyes. In any case, you speak as if you speak for the people, which you don't. Only LH can tell us what the people think. And I think its clear that the people will show us what they want on election day with their votes. Do they wish to wait, and live peacefully now? Or do they want to embrace war so that their sons and daughters may study philosophy, mathematics, and other peaceful subjects in a Japanese golden age, AFTER the french have been wiped out? The choice is THEIRS not yours to make for them.
The point nuke was trying to make was that everything we say here will be known by the people. They KNOW that you are arguing for Japanese citizens to die for the sake of political correctness. They also KNOW that another politician, Sonereal, is arguing for a plan that will prevent our country from becoming a smoldering ruin.
As to your military strategy, it is absolute crap. If we take on the french army on OUR soil, we will be the ones hurt, not them. We will lose men just as if we were attacking. They will lose men too, but their need is not as immediate. By the time we drive them back, our country will be in no shape to pursue a war, and the status quo will ensue if our leader has any sense. While they are invading, they would obviously leave a force at home to defend their cities, and by the time we defeat them and march to their cities with OUR WEAKENED FORCE they could have recruited an entirely new army to face us again.
And why in the name of Lighthearter would any nation attack France when they have a huge army attacking little old isolationist Japan? They would be smart and attack us so we get split between a bunch of people. Countries prey on the weak, not the strong. And if we somehow DO eliminate their army, why would we want another country attacking them? That would steal our spoils, hard won from many japanese lives lost? You overestimate our leadership I think. Even the best leadership cannot make men fly to Paris. If any other nations attack france, we will end up splitting france with them, and that is unacceptable.
You are the worst kind of politician. Doing things that the people will like you for. A true politician, the kind that does what will help the people, not make them like them, would be responsible and risk angering the people in order to do whats best. And in any case, we don't know who the people support yet.
I would also like to remind you that maintaining a large army is extremely expensive. We can't do that, and still hold our own with the french in other areas at the same time without financial strain. You also seem to forget that once we get more sophisticated weaponry, the French will most likely not be too far behind. Deadlier weaponry would just kill more people. Is that what you want? To wait so that the war is even bloodier?
