April 1941. A large number of young top elites, with an average age of 33, were urgently called together. They were selected from the military, bureaucrats, and private companies, and were to participate in the "Total War Research Institute," a newly established organization under the direct control of the Prime Minister with the aim of training future leaders of Japan. Their goal was to accurately predict the state of war in the event of a war between Japan and the United States based on various data on military, diplomatic, and economic matters, and to report the results of the simulation to the members of the "real cabinet," including Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro and Army Minister Tojo Hideki. At first, Ujita and the other elites were confused because they did not understand the true intentions of the country and the military. If the results of the simulation did not go along with the intentions of the upper echelons, they were worried that they would be harmed as well... Yoichi and his friends continued to be under tension as they each had their own families. Nevertheless, Ujita and his friends were given access to various data to measure Japan's national power, which is usually a state secret, and they predicted the state of war after the outbreak of the war between Japan and the United States in a certain excitement. After much debate, the young members of the mock cabinet came to the final conclusion that "if we go to war with America, Japan will definitely lose," a prediction of the grim future. The rational side of the elite tells them, "This war must be stopped." The day has come to report the results of the simulation to the real cabinet. The young members of the mock cabinet muster their courage and try to convey the "reality" that the simulation has produced to the country's leaders. What will be the reaction of Hideki Tojo and the others? And what is the "cruel ending" that Ujita and the others will witness afterwards?
