The Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Reginald Thornton stepped forward and began explaining the Operation Falling Dragon.
"Operation Falling Dragon is the war plan we have developed in the Pentagon for a regime change in China. We are going to use the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands as our base of operations. With the cooperation of Japan, a Japanese submarine will covertly attack a Japanese patrol craft near the disputed island. Japan will then blame China for the attack, effectively triggering a war."
President Thomas Greene listened intently, his expression serious. Thornton continued, outlining the strategy in detail.
