The mastermind behind these plans, Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, was mainly hoping to secure the Samoa Islands, Fiji and Australia to expand territory, with the capturing of the Midway Island only being a problem due to its proximity to the United States. The plan for the Island contained a ruse that…

As it turns out, she is right, the bishop does not even bother to get off the boat. But he did make the sign of the cross toward the crowded townspeople, then turned away and left as quick as he got there.…
