Third-person POV
In the command centers of the intelligence agencies of the three superpowers were full of panic after all communication with their agents on Japanese soil, and they also saw that Got-you/Nice-try message from the MPC's restorationist drives plugged in Chiyoda (By now, a few MPC agents are monitoring the Japanese grid just in case) that had their crusader cross on top of the 7 lines of language and defiance.
Basing who was responsible for the counterattack by language, they contacted 8 capital cities of these nations: the Philippines, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, Greece, and then Portugal. Lisbon denied any responsibility and even cheeky (encouraged by the MPC nations) suggested that Brasília had something to do with it.
Calls to Manila, Madrid, Rome, Brasília, Ankara, Jakarta, and Athens began to ring at 10:30 p.m. with demands for answers and threats of diplomatic isolation, immigration deportations, economic sanctions, and military retaliations screaming in those calls.
But the three hegemony powers had the deadliest weapon the MPC nations had weaponized: silence, absolute silence across different time zones.
