OPERATION SEPPUKU LAUNCHED!
The Emperor today announced that Operation Seppuku, the invasion of the Soviet Union, was underway. This news came as a great shock to many in the Japanese High Command which currently represents a termite nest which has been kicked by a giant.
When our reporter asked the Emperor why he has named the operation after the ritual suicide technique of the Samurai, the Emperor promoted the reporter to the rank of Chinese civilian and had him shot.
In other news, the Emperors attempt to animate a suit of armour purchased from the Third Reich has failed, so he has called upon representatives from Germanys Thule Society to assist in solving his conumdrum.
