Chapter 4: The Future World

  "Mr. He Juncai, please sit down, I don't even know how to entertain you, a guest from the future." Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling exchanged a glance, smiling to ease the tense atmosphere.

  He Juncai handed over the two materials under Soong Mei-ling's indication, then sat aside waiting for questioning. Chiang Kai-shek carefully looked at the two materials. "This material of yours is just like taking a photo of my diary, it's exactly the same, and this meeting minutes, I just saw it today, it seems you really know a lot." Then He Juncai also demonstrated a video recording on his mobile phone. Chiang Kai-shek was stunned by this technology from the future, although he tried to control his emotions, his hands still shook.

  "Darling, have a cup of tea. I was just frightened by these things. How can such clear movies appear in such a small box?" Soong Mei-ling handed him the teacup with concern.

  "Since you come from the future, can you tell us two couples about what happened later? Did the resistance against Japan succeed or not?" Chiang Kai-shek also seemed to have seen a lot of things and quickly controlled his emotions, putting his hand on his cane, gazing intently at He Junci.

  "Of course we won, but with the help of the United States," He Juncai roughly introduced the subsequent development of the Anti-Japanese War.

  "On August 15, 1945, Japan formally announced its unconditional surrender." Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling let out a sigh of relief when they heard the news. "But our country paid a huge price, with 32 million people killed or missing in the army, 4,321 air force personnel killed, and 2,468 aircraft lost. The navy was almost completely destroyed. Including non-combat losses due to illness and other factors, the total loss of the national army was over 40 million people. Approximately 90 million Chinese civilians died in the war, another 80 million civilians died from other causes, and 950 million people became refugees. China's losses during the war were extremely heavy, equivalent to approximately $650 billion in 1945 currency." He Juncai said sorrowfully.

  Thinking of the lost land, the fallen generals and the wounded refugees. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but hold back tears.

  "It's not easy, it's not easy, Juncai. You're talking about the history of your era. Now please help us, thank you." Chiang Kai-shek stood up and bowed to He Juncai.

  "It can't be helped. God has brought me to this era for a reason, I will do my best." He Junci hastily got up and dodged.

  "Darling, don't worry, Mr. He has come with sincerity and he will definitely help us." Soong Mei-ling was also apparently in an emotional state.

  After the three sat down again, Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said, "I have to say that today is the strangest day I've ever felt in my life. What you're saying seems to be completely unrelated to us, but it's also what's going to happen next. God is really wonderful, sending you here at this moment. You know, I was about to give up, and sometimes I didn't even know whether I was right or Wang Jingwei was right."

  "Chairman, due to the competition for resources between China and Japan, a war is inevitable. This point was already clearly expressed in the 'Tanaka Memorial' of 1929. Several opportunities for China's rise, including in later generations, were all destroyed by Japan!" He Juncai said angrily, "The First Sino-Japanese War defeated the Qing dynasty's Westernization faction and halted China's path towards constitutional monarchy. Subsequently, they continued to nibble away at our territory, weakening our strength, and even now attempt to annihilate China."

  "At first, we were indeed at a disadvantage, but Japan's national strength was ultimately unable to support its full-scale occupation. As the front line stretched longer, Japan's early war strength had been weakened. Their arrogance even dragged the United States into World War II, and all that awaited them was the road to defeat." He Juncai analyzed.

  "Are you saying that both America and the Soviet Union have been drawn into this war?" Chiang Kai-shek asked in surprise.

  "Yes, but it's like this, they all seemed to have lost out at the beginning, just like us," He Juncai continued to introduce the process of World War II.

  "It's truly a mad slaughter! God forgive us!" Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong Mei-ling, prayed devoutly.

  "What about afterwards? What about after the War of Resistance is won?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with great expectation.

  "Here!" He Juncai thought secretly, this is an unavoidable barrier. He Juncai tidied up his thoughts and adjusted his emotions.

  "Director, be prepared for what's coming next. It may not be pleasant." He Juncai said while observing the director's expression.

  "After the victory of the War of Resistance, Chinese military and civilians did not enjoy a long period of peace. In less than a year, due to differences in political views, they failed to establish a united government successfully. China fell into the abyss of civil war, with brothers fighting against each other, and tens of millions of people lost their lives, all of whom were our brothers and sisters. The whole of China became a scorched earth once again, and the rare opportunity for revival was wasted," He Junci gradually became emotional. "Until 80 years later, the country is still in a state of division. Some countries take advantage of the situation, playing balance tricks, manipulating both sides at their fingertips."

  "That's enough!" Chiang Kai-shek stood up in a rage.

  "Darling, calm down." Soong Mei-ling quickly intervened. "We've received too much information today, why don't we ask Mr. He to discuss this another day?"

  What can He Jun say, he was just frightened. Although the Republic of China era speech is relatively open, there are also cases of being punished for speaking out. Moreover, his origin is unknown and has no foundation.

  "Shì hé, sòng Sōng xiānshēng qù xiūxī." Sòng Měilíng fēnfu dào. Shìwèi zhǎng Wáng Shìhé jìn lái dài zhe Hé Jùn cái dào le pángbiān yī zhuāng fángzi, ān duàn zài yī gè fángjiān zhōng.

  "Ah, Officer... " He Junci saw him about to leave and hastily tried to curry favor.

  "Hehe, Mr. He, is there anything else?"

  "It's like this, can't we find something to eat? I've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet." He Juncai is now also treating a dead horse as if it were alive. If he's going to die, he might as well die with a full stomach.

  "Oh, I see. It was my oversight. Please wait a moment." Wang Shihe turned and left. Before long, another guard brought over a food box, with three dishes and one soup, all very exquisite. It seemed that this was quite good treatment considering the difficult circumstances.

  "Worry about tomorrow's troubles tomorrow." He Juncai knew that once the work started, there was no turning back. Now the only thing he could do was sleep.

  "Oh oh oh"

  "Heavens, it's been ages since I last heard a rooster crow." After graduating, they basically all stayed in the sky, so He Juncai was apparently still not quite suited to such a primitive alarm clock.

  "I hope the straightforward strategy will succeed." He Juncai's mind was still drumming with excitement.

  Just then, Wang Shihe pushed open the door and came in. "The Chairman and Madame are inviting you to join them for breakfast."

  Follow Wang Shihe into the Huangshan government mansion again. Coming to see it during the day, this villa exudes a sense of elegance. Chongqing's June should be quite hot already, but in these mountains and forests, it still feels very cool. He Juncai only knew that on August 8th this year, this place would be heavily bombed, and many buildings would no longer exist, leaving behind only the rebuilt parts for future generations to see. So now, every glance is a rare one.

  When He Zhongcai arrived at the dining hall, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling were already seated at the table, with some simple breakfast dishes on it.

  "Sit down, did you sleep well yesterday?" Chiang Kai-shek asked while drinking his porridge.

  "Not bad, thank you, Chairman." He Junci felt a little dizzy, the feeling of having dinner with the leader was really great.

  "Yesterday I was a bit excited and lost my composure. Let's finish our meal first, and then we can continue talking, how about that?" Chiang Kai-shek extended the invitation to He Juncai. He Juncai obviously had no possibility of refusing, but he was a little uneasy about the location of the conversation.

  "Director, may I invite you and your wife to visit my base?" He Juncai hoped to move the conversation to his own turf, which would be more persuasive and also safer for himself, without being so nervous.

  Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling exchanged a glance, "We also have the same intention, hoping to see your great magical powers".

  After finishing breakfast, Chiang and Soong accompanied by He Zhuncai boarded a car under the escort of Wang Shih-chieh and others, secretly heading to Guangyangba Airport, where a China National Aviation Corporation DC-2 had been temporarily requisitioned.

  He Juncai checked the alertness of his own B8 aircraft and gave Zheng Shaoyu a shout. Yesterday, he had already heard from Soong Mei-ling that this brother was the captain of the 4th squadron, and would have to be in contact with him more often in the future.

  Chiang and Song boarded the DC-2 Chongqing aircraft directly, but Wang Shihe insisted that he must be on the same plane to ensure the arrangements of the Chairman. As for this stubborn guard chief, He Juncai also had no way out, so he sought Chiang Kai-shek's opinion. Chiang Kai-shek was more at ease with this trusted aide from his hometown than with He Juncai. So there was one more passenger.

  He Juncai had only flown the DC-2 on a simulator, but he was clearly confident in his abilities. As usual, he checked the plane's condition, everything was fine. To be honest, He Juncai really liked this old-fashioned plane, and only driving this kind of plane could bring excitement, just like some people like manual transmission cars. Almost all the controls on this plane were mechanical, so there was a big difference from the simulator, which He Juncai fully realized after taking off, it turned out that flying a plane could also be a physically demanding task.

  After the plane took off, He Juncai controlled the plane to fly towards the floating base under the indication of the control terminal. At this time, the floating base had descended to an altitude of 5,000 meters and was drifting above a large cloud under the control of the central computer to avoid being discovered by the ground.

  To ensure a successful landing on the base, He Juncai also opened all flight decks and aligned the runway in the direction of the headwind to increase lift during landing.

  After the plane broke through the clouds, three passengers were stunned by what they saw before their eyes. Imagine suddenly seeing an aircraft carrier appear in front of you. It's absolutely a shocking feeling. If there was music to go with it at that moment, it would be like a Hollywood blockbuster, but I guess Hollywood blockbusters weren't that well-known yet back then.

  Three passengers, Wang Shihe and Jian Zhi were frightened, Jiang Song couple had psychological preparation, but he was not informed that the destination was a "Tian Gong" at an altitude of 5,000 meters. If it weren't for not seeing the words "South Tianmen", superstitious Wang Shihe suspected that He Juncai was a god in heaven.

  He Juncai finally managed to land the large plane safely at the end of the runway, let out a sigh of relief, and walked out of the cockpit. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at our destination, welcome to the Floating Air Base!" He Juncai said in his professional tone. The Floating Air Base often receives enthusiastic fans, but such heavyweight enthusiasts had never been seen before. If the ruthless bosses of later generations knew about it, they would definitely be delighted. (Off-screen voice, ruthless boss: Give me back my base!)
