Seiki No Guko Taiheiyosenso Nichi Bei Kaisen Zenya (Bunko O111-2)

[Machine Translation] After the 226th Incident, the Army became dominated by the control faction and turned toward totalitarianism, while in the Navy there was a struggle between the treaty faction and the fleet faction. The Navy, too, was torn between the treaty faction and the fleet faction. Unable to abandon the Tripartite Pact, which had been the greatest stumbling block to negotiations between Japan and the United States, the Navy plunged into a war it was certain to lose.
