February 25, 1943, Chongqing.

The Spring Festival has ended, but for the entire National Government, the crises and challenges in the new year have just begun.

After the domestic anti-aggression war ended, the people yearned for a stable and peaceful life.

Because they have suffered so much suffering and humiliation, everyone dreams of becoming rich and powerful and works hard for it.

Although the southwestern provinces are still under reactionary rule, under the general trend of liberation thought, people's overall desire to pursue freedom and development remains unchanged. Such development has also affected all aspects of the government, allowing big capital such as principals to

The communist family feels threatened.

However, the major families did not dare to suppress the student demonstrations and the workers' struggle for rights, for fear of providing Jiangdong in North China with an excuse to invade the southwest.

Under such circumstances, the Jiang, Song, Kong, Chen and other large families lived a very miserable life.

Intelligence chief Dai Li once again walked into the principal's residence. He was calm inside but pretended to be trembling on the outside.

Under the guidance of Wang Shihe, Dai Li met the somewhat old principal.

As in the past, he tried his best to show his loyalty and sincere concern.

The principal seemed to be in no mood to listen to what he said. He waved his hand and said:

"The New Year is over, what's going on in Peiping?"

Dai Li knew that the chairman of the committee would ask such a question, so he had already prepared for it. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Commissioner, Jiangdong's control over Peiping is very strong. It is becoming more and more difficult for us to obtain intelligence. This month is not over yet, but the Military Command Bureau has already lost dozens of capable intelligence personnel."

After raising some difficulties, before the Chairman's expression turned bad, he continued:

"There are three main things we know so far:"

"First and most importantly, Jiangdong is preparing to carry out currency reform, abandon silver dollars and legal tenders, and will issue a brand new banknote. We don't know what it will be yet."

"Ding Beifeng, Jiangdong's eldest brother, is solely responsible for the currency reform work."

In Dai Li's view, this is to hand over the most important reform with the widest chain of interests into the hands of his own family. There is not much difference between Jiang Dong and Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen.

He is always thinking about seeking benefits for his family, and the country is just a sideshow.

The Chairman was slightly surprised, but he hid his emotions well and nodded silently.

"Second, Jiangdong will implement free primary education in all provinces under his control. Wang Xueqin and others are discussing specific implementation methods, which should be announced to the public soon."

The principal could no longer keep calm and looked at Dai Li with some surprise.

From ancient times to the present, education has been a major national plan, and it is also the measure that can best win the hearts of the people.

It is conceivable that once Jiangdong announces the implementation of free primary education to the whole society, the whole of China will be shocked. It will be difficult for the National Government to gain the support of people in all provinces, and Jiangdong will be completely secure.

The principal went through the possible impacts of the implementation of free primary education in his mind. After he was shocked, he was worried, and then he was helpless.

In the end, he could only sigh silently and signal Dai Li to tell him the third thing.

"Third, formally establish the National Academy of Sciences and establish a complete talent training mechanism and scientific research system!"

In the principal's view, these three things are equally important. Although the implementation of free primary education and currency reform may seem more sensational now, these are only the initial impacts.

From a long-term perspective, none of these three things are related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Jiangdong is already ahead of the entire National Government. Even if the principal orders reforms now, it will not change the overall situation and can only make people laugh.

What the government can do now is limited, and it can even say nothing.

Seeing that the principal did not speak, Dai Li had no choice but to continue reporting the report as originally planned:

"The Chen family is selling off assets from various places, and many things have been exchanged for gold."

"Other companies are in a similar situation, and many government officials are following suit..."

At the end of his speech, Dai Li believed that the principal could understand what he meant.

Sure enough, the principal slapped the table hard, looking very angry.

"At this critical moment, you only think about yourself and don't consider the entire party and government. You are a worm in the party-state!"

From the still calm eyes, Dai Li knew that the principal was not really angry.

He stood respectfully in front of the table, waiting for instructions.

Half a minute later, the principal said in a helpless tone:

"Let them go..."

...

Yokohama, secret base of the Naval Combined Fleet.

"Your Excellency, Admiral, this is the latest torpedo developed by the young researchers of the Navy Department in line with the belief of serving His Majesty the Emperor and re-developing the Empire."

Nagumo Chuichi said with a smile on his face that anything is possible:

"Everyone likes to call it Kaitian Torpedo!"

Yamamoto Isoroku frowned, then relaxed and narrowed his eyes.

Returning to heaven means nothing more than turning the tide of the war and creating greater glory.

But can such a small torpedo really make a difference?

Yamamoto Isoroku was very skeptical about this.

Seeing that there was no surprise or curiosity on His Excellency the General's face, the smile on Nagumo Chuichi's face softened slightly and he introduced in detail:

"Your Excellency, the Kaiten torpedo's charge is three times that of ordinary torpedoes, so its power is naturally extraordinary."

"The biggest difference from ordinary torpedoes is that the Kaiten torpedo is controlled by the samurai who are the most loyal and brave to His Majesty the Emperor. It can be installed on surface ships or underwater submarines. After discovering the enemy's situation, the warriors enter the Kaiten torpedo and drive the torpedo towards the enemy's aircraft carrier.

.”

"The Kaiten torpedo can turn autonomously and bite the target while avoiding danger."

"In front of Kaiten torpedoes, the enemy's aircraft carrier has nowhere to hide!"

"The Kaiten Torpedo is the hope of the United Fleet and the hope of the Empire!"

Yamamoto Isoroku finally understood what a Kaiten torpedo was and nodded slightly.

To be honest, this design makes him feel refreshing and bright.

"Well, how do warriors who enter a torpedo escape?" Yamamoto Isoroku asked this question naturally in front of a group of naval officers and soldiers.

Nagumo Chuichi's eyes flickered for a few times, and then he replied neatly:

"The Navy has set up a special escape system for the Kaiten torpedo. When approaching an enemy warship, the warriors in the torpedo can use this system to escape."

Yamamoto Isoroku did not doubt that he was there and continued to ask:

"How many Kaiten torpedoes have been produced so far? I mean those that can be put into use immediately."

Nan Yunzhongyi:

"There are only 30 pieces, but military factories everywhere are busy producing them!"

Yamamoto Isoroku took one last look at the Kaiten torpedo, and said as he walked back:

"Equip these torpedoes on modified submarines and deploy them to the northern coast immediately."

"I have a bad feeling that the Chinese people's winter silence will soon pass!"

Nagumo Chuichi 100% believed in Yamamoto Isoroku, and naturally believed in his premonition.
