The CW wants to avoid the surprise impulse against them and also wants to see if they can wreck havoc on Japanese shipping. There are some TRS around and killing them during the surprise impulse might come in handy. The Admiralty and the General staff advise Churchill to do so.
The next morning, the British war cabinet meets. After the meeting, the Churchill, in the House of Commons, denies all involvement in the “Bataafse Petroleum” skandal in the US. They claim that the funds received from the United States were given due to the Lend Lease act and used to buy important goods for the war effort. Nowhere in the Lend Lease agreement was stated that those funds couldn't be used to buy the necessary oil for the ships and troops in combat against the Germans and their allies. The Dutch have been attacked with no reasonable grounds by Japan and Germany. Since the Dutch Government in Exile has asked the British Empire to act on their behalve, the British have no choice but to go to war against the Japanese Empire. The US States Congress did agree on the Lend Lease Act, which stipulates that any asset may be given by the US to the CW for the war effort. This includes money, doesn't it? 2 entry chits in the Japanese entry pools are removed.
The CW takes a naval, the US a combined, the USSR a land and the French a Pass action.

During naval air, a South African FTR enters the South China Sea. A CW fleet sails to attack Japanese shipping in theSouth China Sea. British Submarines leave Singapore.
However, the ocean is large and the Japanese ships manage too avoid the British ships (search rolls Allied: 10, Axis 9).
Another British fleet sails out of Brisbane into the Bismarck Sea. Their target: a Japanese TRS. Again, the British ships fail to find the Japanese (Allied 9, Axis 9).
Luck seems to be with the Japanese...
The CW sends cruisers out into the Cape Verde Bassin, The Rodney and other cruisers sail for the Central Atlantic. Of course, with all convoys present, the CW doesn't want to fight in those two sea area's...
Admiral Lütjens, however is still searching for those convoys he lost. But where are those British ships (Allied 9, Axis 6). The captain on board of the Schlesien also wants a fight, but he doesn't get it too (Axis 10, Allied 6).
The US sends out more convoys into the Denmark Strait Sea area.
In the USSR, the front is strengthened again. Small withdrawals take place and Zhukov and Timoshenko move outside of Stuka range.
