According to our foreign minister Anthony Eden, we've started to influence Japan to get it away from the axis cause.
Our minister of intelligence, Hugh Sinclair, told us, that we've ordered our spies in Germany and Japan to scaremonger about these countries, while our own counterespionage has been told to charge enemy spies, raise our unity and to advertise the Conservative Party.
