Chapter 87: Embassy Crisis

"According to the news from the Embassy in St. Petersburg, since the outbreak of the Far Eastern conflict, anti-Japanese sentiment among the Russian Empire's populace has been continuously surging.

Many in the Tsarist Government advocate taking a tough stance against us, with the War Party's morale soaring, and we cannot rule out the possibility of them initiating a war.

The international community has been rather indifferent towards our conflict with the Russians, with only the United Kingdom verbally expressing support while most other countries are looking on with glee," Kaoru Inoue said helplessly.

Since the rise of fervent nationalism, being an official in the Japanese Government has become increasingly challenging, and being the Foreign Minister, responsible for handling international affairs, is like a hot potato.
