And - with Itami going being a given - Yanagida's plan to provide him with adequate men and supplies is the one that was least likely to get people killed. Quote:

Itami has no family. He could be a hero because as far as he is concerned, no one is depending on him. (His ex-wife is, but not officially). This is why the rest of the base thinks of him first. In the end what is lacking is political will. And this means some social engineering is in order. Itami is just a catalyst. It is his choice alone on if he wanted to get the ball rolling, but once he choose he would not have to do everything alone.

The fact that the JSDF doesn't want to deal with anarchy is an alien concept, because if the Empire is in Japan's shoes they would simply have mass executions following the conquest until the whole thing quiets down.

Well I guess Pina's in a pretty week position...honestly amazingly everything worked out well for Zorzol, sure he got his buttkicked but Pina's Position basically got deep sixed thanks to JSDF bombing the Senate. She wont be getting votes for anything now.

Zorzal had always been the Crown Prince. No matter what the JSDF was always going to have to deal with him, as he is of the mind that he would keep fighting to the death. That was also why the Bunny Queen needed him alive, as other options are far more pragmatic and thus she need Zorzal to take control.

Her position has always been pretty weak. She's way down in the order, her mother isn't high born, and she's been "playing" at knights.
And a lot of the Senate are like the emperor - they don't understand the force disparity. Or didn't, till the Senate strike. |

I dont think they dont understand the Force disparity so much as they are not used to being outpowered so radically so its hard to sink in plus luckily for them JSDF doesnt benefit for a full on collapse of the Empire and a Civil War.
But yes I agree she has always been weak but they have made all opposition to Zorzal weaker so its still a win for him at the cost of losing a few slaves, a few grunts, some pride and a beating not bad return for him considering no one really planned that one. |

The Senators who attended the firepower demonstration at Pina's outdoor party were certainly getting a very good idea of what modern weaponry would do to their contemporary forces. They are intelligent men; fools would likely not last long in the Senate of that Empire

The point was, that was preaching to the choir. If they want to change the empire, they'll have to convince the guys (from the emperor on down) who can't imagine a future where they're not top dogs able to just pillage their way to wealth.
(Which makes me wonder if the empire can even transition to something more peaceful. Tyranny and slavery aren't deal-breakers in our, rich modern nations', economic partners, but I don't think Japan would stand for the empire's war mongering - it's ultimately bad for business. And what would happen if some provinces, like Italica, decided they want to secede from the empire and become a Japanese protectorate instead?) Last edited by Anh_Minh; 2016-02-05 at 15:08. |
