At last, the last of Date Castle falls.
This is nothing. Bring on the Hojo!
Just another Nanbu.
Foreign income has improved due to our improved relations with the rest of Japan.
Very good. How are the Coalition holding up?
They are still holding up well. A few castles were lost. But nothing crippling.
And our power ranking?
We're closing the gap. They still outnumber us nearly three to one, but after Lord Yuri's last victory, we've proven that we can beat them in the field of battle.
Until the first Hojo Castle falls, I'll reserve my celebration.
We've also recruited the Date Clan's remaining retainers.
Excellent. Let us put them to good use.
Hatakeyama Clan is ready to join our Coalition as well, this will create a possibility to open a western front against the Hojo.
Good. Omega...implement the Drafting policy. I want more troops for the coming war. Enact the mandatory National Service for all children age 16 and above.
It will be done. What about the foreigners residing in our lands?
They are the exception lah, they contribute so much coin and trade. That they left their homes alone is enough sacrifice already. But perhaps their child and future children of their children will be pressed into action.
Eh, like that not fair leh. How come we sinkies have to serve 2 years while they ang moh get free pass?
Because you are born here lah. If not you, then who? Gurkhas?
Cibai lah.
Also, shortlist this man from the former Date retainers. Marry him to one of my daughters.
He's quite old, you know.. sure you want to waste your dotter cheesepie on him?
They're
foster daughters. I don't really give a fuck anymore.
Months passed as the war preparation is underway...
Tsk. Cowards. All of them.
Don't be too discouraged lah. I'm sure there's plenty more where that came from.
I know. But we lost a great asset in the coming war. Send Tanemune Date to the Imperial Court. I want more status to be granted, befitting of my station.
Yes, Boss.
Also, We need to quickly make our move on Imagawa Clan. Even though they're not in the Hojo Coalition yet, they're aggressively attacking our Coalition members in Central Japan. It would be a shame for non-Hojo blood to be spilled.
Noted.
This is highway robbery. But I can afford this. Omega, send messengers to the rest of the realm announcing my promotion.
Already sent boss, we've also made enough diplomatic gains to invite two more clans into our Coalition, the Azai and the Saito.
Good. Make it happen.
That's another 40,000 bodies for our Coalition. How's the conscription going?
We're on target. Around 140,000 troops ready to deploy.
Hmm. We won't have enough supplies to deploy all of them. Alright. We'll ready a force to take Otawara and Karasuyama.
*scribbles on a piece of paper* There. Get the following officers there. I want a full complement of guns on every troop. Cavalry should only go to those above 3000. Distribute this news to each officer mentioned.
Wah, you really going in to lead the troops personally ah?
Is there a problem?
No. We'll make sure to protect you.
Call the rest of them here for a War Council.
Later-
We're advancing?
Yes.
Finally! We fite!
At last, a chance to make ourselves no.1!
To state my province's 40,000 garrison is ready to deploy at your behest.
Infinitron, you will be our siege reserves. Due to the quality of your officers, you will not take the initiative against Hojo's best officers. Those will be left to our best commanders.
He means me, m8.
Pretty sure there's only one guy here wearing the sunglasses.
All of you are the best we've got. That's why you're all here in this Council. Yuri, take 4,600 men from Yamagata and link up to the front.
Done and done!
Lund. You have the bulk of our forces. Lead 6,900 from Yonezawa.
Mine is bigger than yours...
Wanna fite? Fite me.
Butthurt detected.
We've got our job. And we'll do it well. I don't expect all of your to last all day long. Once your unit is routed, take command on other troops. Keep coming to the front till those castles fall. We'll make it rain blood in Hojo soil. Alkeides, lead 4200 from Teraike. I will lead 4,200 personally from Tsurugaoka.
Omega, bring up our diplomatic channels. We're sending the Coalition their targets.
Clan Otomo will link up with two other western coalition members to assault Clan Oichi from the west.
Clan Chosokabe will lead an assault on another Oichi Castle in the south.
Everyone, you have your orders. Let's make this happen. Operation Burofisto is a go. Thousands will die, we may not see each other once this is over. But I am honored to be with you all till the end.
Don't jinx the fite, Pops!
With me around, the only one dying are those micro-penis Nips.
There is time and place for everything. Let nature take its course. Amitabha.
Shalom be with you. To await your orders.
Take care of everything while I'm gone, Omega.
Yesh, Ah Gong. Chiu will win. And Shingaporu will be a reality!
Uh, Hojo forces are arriving at Yonezawa. The Date Clan must've requested aid from their Coalition Leader. 
How many?
