Russia leads the investigation, America causes the most damage to the enemy, Germany saves the day, and Britain gets all the loot.
Sounds like WW2 to me.... You see? Soviet fought back, and was on the way to Berlin first. America did most the damage through economy sabotage. Germany, well... It was a German leader who killed Hitler. (I know he isn't German, but he was the head of German government at the time) Britain, I don't know what they got, but should be quite handsomely.
I'm just stating my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong.
They closed the deal in front that many Zuiunists witnesses? Either way they will be brainwashed or bribed, because there's a chance someone might speak the others about it.
Soviets ran a long way at the beginning before recovery. Britain smashed her economy, lost the Empire, and had to become a client-state of the new master power, America. Then again most countries had to knuckle under unless they were part of the Soviet or Chinese blocs...
Britain, I don't know what they got, but should be quite handsomely.

Britain got an economy reduced to such a shambles that rationing of food and fuel remained in place until 1954. (In fact, in some aspects, postwar rationing was stricter than it had been during the war.) It also got a gigantic pile of overseas debt, much of it to the US and Canada, the repayment conditions of which worsened the overall economic situation in various ways (some anticipated, some not) and hastened the unraveling of the British Empire.
All in all, not what I would call a handsome outcome. British subjects at home arguably faced sharper austerity for winning the war than citizens of some other countries did for losing it.

The Soviets and Germany absolutely bore the worst of the costs.
At the point just before Hitler became Stalingrad obsessed, where it seemed Moscow would fall, they were actually preparing to just move everything that they could in a bunch of trucks into Siberia to try to keep the fight going. Factories, farms, the vast majority of the population, you can't just move that sort of stuff, you know?
As for Germany, well, aside from the whole "split into East and West Germany" part, just Google image search "Germany after World War 2."
Germany and Russia were engaged in true total war, where they were literally expecting soldiers to fight to the last man child, and where they were burning the fields rather than let them fall into the hands of the enemy when they were forced to retreat.
Most of the rest of Europe was looted by either the Soviets or the Nazis in their total war, either burned down or put to use for their own purposes until someone else burned them down.
Japan wasn't much better, with its almost entirely wooden cities being routinely firebombed into cinders. The nukes get the most attention of course, but the firebombing of Tokyo alone killed or wounded around a quarter million people and made a million homeless. The US was perfecting the art of "firestorms", deliberately setting rings of fire through incendiary bombing with the purpose of creating an inescapable fire trap that would create a genocidal inferno. Even before Japan was in range of routine bombing, Japan's industry was collapsing as they were forced to basically loot metal anywhere they could find it to make whatever weapons they could. They were essentially completely out of petroleum, and down to finding ways to render trees into fuel. Once the bombing started, there were basically no industries left on Japan, and the attacks on population centers were half the fact that they were running out of actual military or industrial targets left to bomb.
Then, of course, there was what Japan did to China, Korea, and much of the rest of Asia, with the aforementioned "looting every last scrap of metal or fuel to feed their own war machine" being a major stumbling block to their own recovery, even as it was one of the more justifiable things Japan did.
The US emerged as the global superpower that set the course of most of the world in no small part as a result of being the last man standing after the rest of the world reduced itself to rubble, and the rest of the (essentially untouched) Americas not being really in a state to contest the US.
Well, with Iowa's AA power, they'll be fine, right?...the reward of Mamiya Special Meal Tickets.And so, just as promised, the out- of-control Zuiunists have been secured.I didn't hear anything about using a rail cannon, though.W-Well, it was within acceptable damage limits, no?I should think that the ringleader, Hyuuga, will be captured by Iowa and Gangut right about now.I'd like to keep on building friendly relations with Japan!He said that he wanted to see the much-vaunted cunning intelligence warfare of the British.Actually, it was on the Admiral's orders.I wonder how many powers will be dragged in~What poor tastes.The rest is in your hands.This will surely be a reference point for Japanese intelligence ops!If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to call!They don't let their hands get dirty, right~This was a matter that we should have dealt with ourselves.The Admiral's?...was this really okay?ClatterExcitedClench
