For the First time since the cold war began between Germany and Japan, a representative of the Reich had sailed to the island nation with diplomatic intent. What was his purpose in this visit? Well, it was certainly not about ceasing hostilities.
The man in question was a German Lawyer by the name of Tilicke Schauffhusen who was from the Kingdom of Austria, and he had a briefcase in his hands, as the passenger ship made its way to the port of Heian-kyō.
This was not a German ship, as such vessels were not allowed to dock on the Japanese mainland. Instead, it was a Ming Junk. Tilicke had sailed from the Borders of the Reich to the Ming Dynasty before taking a merchant vessel to the Island of Japan.
