An audience scenario imagines Japanese-controlled California in 1776 and a samurai contingent supporting King George against the American rebels. Japanese dominance of Hawaii and a wider Pacific presence are suggested as further consequences. A later extension divides North America between Japanese, British and French interests. Comparison with Hessian auxiliaries raises the possibility of hostile patriot propaganda, while the response emphasizes military pressure arriving from another direction. These are speculative extensions of the imagined expedition against Spanish America.
