章 98: Chapter 98: 98

In the wake of international pressure, Japan reluctantly halted its territorial advances in East Asia. The League of Nations, backed by various nations, successfully applied diplomatic and economic measures that compelled Japan to reconsider its expansionist policies. The abrupt cessation of hostilities created a temporary calm in the region, allowing nations like the Philippines to assess the situation and plan for the uncertain future.

In the National Security Council meeting room of the Royal Palace in Manila, King Alfonso, alongside his trusted ministers, gathered to discuss the evolving scenario. The mood was a mix of relief and caution as they deliberated on the next steps for the Philippines. Director Armand, Minister Carlos, Minister Diego, and Prime Minister Sergio exchanged views on the diplomatic landscape, weighing the potential outcomes of Japan's compliance with international pressure.
