| Technology is what will bring us victory. All efforts must be directed to those efforts aiming at outclassing our enemies in terms of arms and equipment. |

| The distances involved in warfare in the Pacific theater are vast, we need models capable of bridging those distances. |
| Agility Focus | Japan:

 Strategic Bomber Effort | Japan:

| Much as we would like, wars cannot easily be won through direct military confrontations alone. Industrial capability greatly influences the outcome of wars, and so we must invest in new strategic bomber models that can destroy the enemy's industry behind the lines. |
