The Prime Minister gains temporary emperor Powers, becoming Regent until the Crown Prince is crowned. He announced that the Nakhs "are lowlife infidels that all deserve to be DESTROYED, and that the attempted killing of the emperor by NAKH OFFICIALS is unforgivable." Thousands of men are mobilized, along with the Imperial Fleet and Air force. Meanwhile 500,000 troops and a few fleets set off for a nearby port. LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR! LONG LIVE THE MINISTER! DEATH TO THE NAKHS! WAR IS DECLARED.
