The Last Mission

Set against the backdrop of Japan's surrender in World War II, the narrative unfolds as rebel troops attempt a coup at the Imperial palace, aiming to thwart Emperor Hirohito's message of surrender. Led by high-ranking officers, their plan involves destroying the surrender recording and issuing false orders to prolong the war. The stakes are immense, as their success could lead to devastating kamikaze attacks on Allied forces and potentially provoke the United States into deploying a third atomic bomb on Japan.
