Episode 4 deals with the relationship between Japan and Germany. The origin of Japan's pro-Germanism, especially in the Army, was an electric victory by the splendid operation by Chief of Staff of the German Army,Moltke in the Franco-Prussian War. Military attaché from all over the world visit this war, but Taro Katsura, the prime minister at the time of the Russo-Japanese War, was dispatched from Japan. After training the staff officers of the Japanese Army by Major Meckel, Moltke's military officer, the German Army continued to be a teacher for Japan until World War I,in which they became enemies. "Germany is not advantageous in the next war" was Moltke's words, but Japan had a bad habit of worshipping research subjects, and the army was quite hesitant about the declaration of war against Germany in World War I, and the German prisoners in World War I were treated as something of a guest. It was a treatment. Due to the weakening of Germany after World War I, Germany was neglected and the analysis of the situation in Germany became a formal one. The attention to Hitler and the prediction of the birth of the Hitler regime were quite delayed, and it is in the first episode that it became an analysis from scratch after the birth of the regime. While conducting a German analysis, amateur diplomat Ribbentrop and Hiroshi Oshima, the best German master of the Japanese Army, were to appear.
