The “Plan for Ending the War with the U.S., Britain, the Netherlands,
and Chiang Kai-shek” contained the following lines—the last two inserted at Hirohito's request:
Wait for a good opportunity in the European war situation, particularly collapse of mainland England, ending of the German-Soviet war, and success of our policies toward India.
…[S]trengthen diplomatic and propaganda measures vis-a-vis various countries in South America, Sweden, Portugal, and the Vatican. Conclude separate agreements with Germany and Italy not to make unilateral peace…. [F]ind ways to avoid immedi ately concluding peace with Britain at the time of its surrender, and immediately take measures that will force Britain to induce the United States [to make peace].
