ORIGINAL: CT Grognard For some reason the 5th Imperial Japanese Division decided it was a good idea to name themselves after the koi - perhaps they were trying to mirror Roman legions called "Felix" since they were lucky? That is undoubtedly what happened in WWII but this is WWII(c) *********Offices of Polish Government in Exile, London, October 21, 1942********* I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: <Sets down a heavy valise on the desk> Here are the "investment returns" for Carpathian Division, Colonel. Military Attache: Please, use the term Project Koi. I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Very well. Fish Farmer Yamashita is very pleased. Military Attache: Splendid! You said you had a new proposition. I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Yes. A second party of interest would like the participants of Project Koi to shave off a few points. Military Attache: I'm afraid I don't understand, sir. I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Well, in essence, this second party of interest will offer items of value in exchange for the Project Koi folks not trying quite as hard. Perhaps displaying more fatigue or taking longer to reorganize after suffering some disruption, a turn-over or two, maybe a little less aggressive offensive rebounding, that sort of thing. Of course, they shouldn't make it too obvious. We wouldn't want Fish Farmer to become suspicious. Military Attache: Mr. Cheatham, am I to understand you are representing both parties in an adversarial situation? Isn't that a conflict of interest? I. Dunn Cheatham, Esq.: Colonel, I'm afraid you don't know the lead contractor very well..........
