Sugawara: “What my nation desires above all...Is your Resour-Peace, we desire peace at all costs. We Japanese and our country are a noble folk. We do not wish to exploit a foreign countries People, their land, and their wealth. Never in our countries history have we done such a thing.”

im pretty sure sugawara knows about imperial japan's war crimes in WW2 and don't want to repeat it, hence why they want peace

Well, Knowing Japan's education system out-right not educating their children about their country's various war crimes during the war, its more likely that he doesn't know about it. If he does know about it, then it's pretty clear from the next chapter that Japan just wants the empires resources. If the empire can't pay up 500 million in amount of the currency (which they can't) despite only doing minor amounts of damage, then they will have to give them mines for materials, no reason was given why they needed these mines in specific other than the fact that they want resources for themselves. Their doing what they did in WW2, just using different methods. They are also forcing the Empire to sign the treaty, they can't say no.

I'm also making fun of the author's jingoistic views of outright trying to deny Japan commit crimes. In the first few chapters, he has one of the characters say "Might we Japanese do the same thing?" when talking about the various atrocities other countries did. That sorta proves that the author is denying Japan ever did crimes.

I'm pretty sure the author made it like that so his japanese readers would like it, cuz of the normal japanese citizens prolly did not know about the atrocities, so if he showed them the atrocities that japan did, his japanese readers might decline or the publisher wont publish his works.
remember, if the japanese readers like it, the publisher will continue to publish his works

Listen. Japan was a conquering nation. Honestly assholish country. Didn't even apologize correctly.

However, who the fuck really cares. This would be a rather typical outcome in modern times when GATE takes place.

Japan isnt doing this to be peaceful.

All they want is to keep Rusia, China and USA from sticking their nose.
