Japanese Militarism - Government by Assassination - ExtraHistory - #4

Manchuria, September 19th, 1931, General Tatekawa found out something was afoot in Manchuria! Insubordinate members of the Kwantung Army were looking to start a war with China. However, when he got there he told the leaders his message from Tokyo could wait as Tatekawa thought war in China might not be so bad.
