[b]The Meiyo Kaitukukai 16th assembly
Location: rumored to be Yakumo or Oketo[/b]

[i]Passage taken from Hideki Tojo, party leader of the Nationalist Movement, as he radio broadcast his speech the after the title “Shogun Emperor” was reformed throughout Kitagawa.[/i] 

[i]“Ladies and gentlemen, the young and the old, the meek and bold, lend me your ears…. 60 years have passed since the unhappy day when the Yamato people, blinded by promises from foes at home and abroad, lost touch with honor and freedom, thereby losing all. Since that day of dishonorable victory, Hachiman has withheld his blessing from our people. Dissension and hatred descended upon us. Bushido broken and defiled. With profound distress millions of the best Yamato men and women from all walks of life have seen the unity of the nation vanishing in a blink of an eye, dissolving in a confusion of political and personal opinions, economic interests, ideological differences, and the slaving nature of the Yllendyr. Since that day, as so often in the past, the Kitagawa Shogunate has presented a picture of heartbreaking disunity. We had never received equality, fraternity, and justice ever since the day the Shogun Emperor was executed. We lost our liberty to boot when we grow tolerate of the sufferings of our fellow countrymen when they were put in chains of Naerzo the Defiler. For when our nation lost its political place in the world, it soon lost its unity of spirit and will…

We are firmly convinced that the Yamato people entered the fight in 1832 without the slightest hesitation on its part and filled only with the desire to defend the Home Island which had been attacked by foreign aggressors and to preserve the culture, nay, the very existence, of the Yamato people. This being so, we can only see in the disastrous fate which has overtaken us since those dying days days of 1841 the result of our collapse at home. But the rest of the world, too, has suffered no less since then from overwhelming injustice. The balance of power which had evolved in the course of history, and which formerly played no small part in bringing about the understanding of the necessity for an internal solidarity of the nations, with all its advantages for trade and commerce, has been set on one side. The insane argument of the Yllendyr being the wielders of civilization is hypocritical when they are practitioners of slavery, executioners of surrendered belligerents and ignorant of our people’s customs and religion. 

Please! People of the Kitagawa, open your eyes! The misery of our people is horrible to behold! The chaos gripping the Shogunate, the millions of the industrial proletariat are unemployed and starving; the whole of the middle class and the small artisans have been impoverished, the fruits born from the burden of being a Yllendyr servant. When this collapse finally reaches the Yamato peasants, we will be faced with an immeasurable disaster. For then not only shall a nation collapse, but a two-thousand-year-old inheritance, some of the loftiest products of human culture and civilization. This cannot continue…

All about us the warning signs of this collapse are apparent. The anti-monarchist revolutionists of Avalia with its method of madness is inspiring a powerful and insidious attack upon our dismayed and shattered nation and divine Shogun Emperor. It seeks to poison and disrupt in order to hurl us into this epoch of chaos.... This negative, destroying spirit spared nothing of all that is highest and most valuable. Beginning with the family, it has undermined the very foundations of morality and faith and scoffs at culture and business, nation and belonging, justice and Bushido. 60 years of Yllendyr have ruined the integrity Kitagawa Shogunate; one year of revolution would destroy her. The richest and fairest territories of the world would be turned into a smoking heap of ruins. Even the sufferings of the current decade could not be compared to the misery of a Avalia in the heart of which the red flag of destruction had been hoisted. The execution of the entire royal family, both child and adult, should be a warning of the storm which would come. We must defend our Home Island and the Shogun Emperor from the insidious forces of revolutionary thought and the tyrannical regime of the Yllendyr. 
In those hours when our hearts were troubled about the life and the future of the Yamato nation, it is to struggle for freedom once more, in unity and loyalty, for the salvation of the Kitagawa nation. This time the front lines are at home. The venerable Shogun Emperor Eikou has already burdened himself with this noble endeavor. And as the leader of the Meiyo Kaitukukai, I vow to the Shogun Emperor, to my conscience, and to my people that I will faithfully and resolutely fulfill the task conferred upon us. I will help restore stability and honor to our people and I call upon you to do the same. 

Show no fear for you are a Yamato! The blood of Samurai and the countless martyrs that died flow through you. When the time has come, we, the Meiyo Kaitukukai, will march on Nankyo and liberate the oppressed, the beaten, and the enslaved. The Yllendyr have overstayed their presence; their puppets corrupt and incompetent. We will free the Yamato, the Home Island, and the Shogun Emperor from the clutches of wanton greed and exploitation!”[/i]
