The 13th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
Marianas Sunrise
Inspired by fictional events depicted in Tom Clancy's, "Debt of Honor".
In eastern Tennessee, a car accident involving two Japanese-made vehicles leads to the deaths of six people. Revelations about manufacturing and shipping errors that led to the accident stir long-standing resentment toward Japan's trade policies.
As trade negotiations between the United States and Japan come to a halt, Congress passes legislation allowing the US to replicate trade practices of the countries from which it imports goods. This immediately cuts off US export markets, threatening the Japanese economy.
Facing an economic crisis, Japan's ruling corporate cabal decides to take military action against the United States. Supported covertly by India and China, they plot to curtail the American presence in the Pacific.
Japan launches phase one of its assault, sending Self-Defense Force units to occupy the Marianas Islands, specifically Saipan.
The invasion, conducted with commercial airliners is virtually bloodless.
Elsewhere, during a joint military exercise, Japanese ships "accidentally" launch torpedoes at the US Pacific Fleet, destroying two submarines and crippling two aircraft carriers (Enterprise and John C. Stennis).
US naval capability in the western Pacific is drastically reduced.
Immediate retaliation is delayed by phase two of the Japanese offensive: an economic attack.
As the military offensive begins, Japan engineers the collapse of the US stock market by hiring a programmer who is also a consultant for an exchange firm, tasked with inserting a logic bomb into the system.
When triggered, the computer program blocks the storage of all trade records made after noon on Friday.
The Japanese also attempt to take the life of the Federal Reserve chairman, however he survives the attack with a broken back.
America now faces a massive economic crisis of their own and subsequent mass panic. The Japanese hope the Americans will be too distracted to quickly respond to Japan's military actions.
