Sakuragi Kenichirou, a reform minded independent candicate who was educated in America, wins the election. The incumbent Prime Minister, embarrassed at his loss, vows revenge. Just as Sakuragi prepares to tae office, war breaks out in Asia. China, the United States and the other super-powers begin to take sides and execute their strategies, and all sides attempt to use Japan as a pawn.
