Empress Itami Riyo spent a significant amount of time speaking to the German diplomat after negotiating Min-Ah's release. During their discussion, she had learned a lot about just what had happened in India, something she was entirely blind to.
It was true what they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Despite doing her best to keep Asha Sarkar on a tight leash, he had relapsed into his wicked ways the moment after her officers were no longer around to keep an eye on him.
Itami had no doubt that Germany's Special Forces had eliminated her advisors to the Bengal Army in an attempt to provoke Asha Sarkar and his band of misfits into committing war crimes. However, she could not prove this. Thus, the Japanese Empress tried her best to glean as much information about the conflict as she could manage.
