I changed the government slightly by using Terauchi Hisaichi as chief of the army (he was war minister in 1936-37) and Yamamoto Isoruko as chief of the navy (he was XO at the navy ministry from 1936 to 39) But that's just a cosmetic change as I didn't change the traits.
Terauchi and Yamamoto stopped their Shogi game when and aide told them that the newly appointed Prime Minister Hirota Koki, his new foreign minister Hachiro Arita and the minister for economics Machida Chuji had arrived.
Terauchi smiled with the confidence of a man who was totally sure of his abilities.

 To the Gates of Delhi
Japanese plans in 1941 had not included any operations beyond the frontier of Burma, which was to become the western bastion of their Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.
The speed and ease of their victories had, however, produced symptoms of the “victory disease” (underestimation of the enemy), and in August 1942, General Count Hisaichi Terauchi’s Southern Army headquarters in Hanoi ordered the Fifteenth Amy in Burma to plan a limited offensive into Assam.
Although this was temporarily abandoned because of American successes in the western Pacific, it was revived when the Japanese reorganized their command structure in Burma in June 1943, which brought an aggressive commanding general, Renya Mutaguchi, to power.

To add to Yamashita's immediate problems his superior, Field Marshal Count Hisaichi Terauchi, romantically and unrealistically believed that the United States invasion of the Philippines was "the providential moment" that would allow the destruction of America's land forces in an open battle.
In addition, United States air dominance and continuous bombardment, Japanese loss of control of sea approaches, Japanese army - navy conflict over defence strategy, lack of an experienced general staff, insufficiency of troops in quantity and quality, food shortages, and command isolation from the front, posed grave difficulties for command and control.
