And part 3 (21,000 words and change)

Unit orders and formation

1. Immediately start raising 12 new infantry divisions. The first will be established this month with a new one being established each month thereafter. Training and equipage is to take 8 months. This puts the first unit in service in May 1940. One quarter of each unit is to be a cadre of reservists. Officers will be drawn from both reserve and active commands to fill out these divisions.
2. The 59th and 64th Sentais that are now completing their work up on with the Ki-43 are to transfer to the 2nd Hikoshidan in China immediately. This is in view of the situation at Nomohan.
3. Operations started in Southern China are to continue until goals are met.
4. 1st Armored Brigade and 7th Infantry Division are transferred to 6th Army and are to move to Hailaerh from Tsitsihar to reinforce the 23rd Division. A brigade of railway engineers is to be assigned to support the rail line to Hailaerh and extend it to Nomohan.
5. JAAF pilot training increases to 1000 pilots a year due to the losses at Nomohan. (Note to umpire: Nomohan was a rude shock to the JAAF in terms of pilot loss. They originally increased training greatly; I am just increasing it a bit more than originally occurred. Likewise, I am doing the same with the JNAF for this reason and, for the increased carrier construction.)
6. The oceanographic vessel Kaiyo 1 which just completed is to fit out and begin a cruise of the South Indian Ocean. Study of the Kerguelen Islands ecology is to be part of the voyage. All crew assigned are to be drawn from Naval personnel except where specialized science personnel are not available.
7. The Army is instructed to use their prototype Ki 46 that just began flight trials to over fly Vladivostok and determine the status of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
8. The Army and Navy are to begin joint planning for the conquest of Northern Sakalin Island in the event that talks with the Soviet Union fail. Particular attention is to be paid to destruction of the large oil transfer facilities there so as to prevent use by the mainland.
The Military is also to begin planning for air raids to disrupt or stop rail traffic on the Soviet Trans-Siberian railway. Use of Navy long-range G3M bombers is anticipated in this action.
