The operation is conducted in secret. Only the commanding officers and the personel actually doing the work are made aware of it. The first shift crews of the joint air force from Peking is painted, and has body alteration done, until they look like their Japanese counterparts. Using the same planes as the enemy can sometimes have its advantages. The next morning the allied pilots are brought in and breifed.
"Today we have a very special mission for you. This mission has the code name Duck, Duck, Goose. We have outfitted 60 of our own Ki-01 bombers to be duplicates of Japanese bombers. These planes will be able to launch from any of our Asian bases into Japanese held territory in Japan. Your assignment will be seek-and-destroy of unguarded targets. The Primary target list is composed of unprotected communications and transportation targets. The Secondary target list will include production facilities, both civilian and military. Your targets of oppurtunities lists will be broader, including movements, hospitals, power facilities and smaller urban areas."
A major in a bright red Afghan officers uniforms distributes the targets lists, sealed in identical brown envelopes, marked only by the pilot's last name. They open the lists and read them over, and the orders to destroy them in the event that they must ditch their planes. Today, at the top of the list, petroleum production and storage sites. The generals calculated the fuel needed to keep the Japanese airforce in the air, and the militaries new automobile strategy. There is no way they have the petrolum production capabilities to maintain all of it. Without the cooperation of the middle eastern or major European powers the only source of oil could be their own strategic reserves. Attack that and stop their army cold.
