YAMAMOTO: The Council knows I have opposed fighting the Americans. No matter how great our resolve, they have resources beyond ours.

In that time we can conquer all of the Pacific, and they will have no choice but to ask for peace.

STRATEGIC ANALYST: Pearl Harbour can't be attacked effectively from the air. It's too shallow for an aerial torpedo attack. Pearl Harbour's safe. It's everywhere else that we're vulnerable.

19. Translate the speech of the USA President into Russian.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy. The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Naval and Air Forces of the Empire of Japan. It is obvious that planning the attack began many weeks ago, during the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American military forces, I regret to tell you that over three thousand American lives have been lost. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this pre-meditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. Because of this unprovoked, dastardly attack by Japan, I ask that the congress declare a state of War.
