To Soviet Foreign Minister From Japanese Foreign Minister For three days a unit withdrawing from the Amur Province has been attacked. I allowed three units on the main rail line in North Manchukuo to leave once it was clear they would. I expected similar courtesy here. Since I didn't get it - I ordered a deep penetration raid to capture a Soviet town. And tomorrow we will retake Moho - which started this whole chain of border violations. The deep penetration raid - left because I didn't trust the situation was totally resolved - needs MANY days to leave - and I will not order it to start UNLESS you agree not to attack it. And - note - it cut the Trans Siberian RR and it remains cut. If you want to restore RR traffic - as badly as I want to restore shipping in the sea of Japan - it is time to tell the troops we have an agreement and to allow forces to leave the country - as we did on the main line near Borzia.
