Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 395 The Future of the Empire

The night fell quietly, the moon climbed up the treetops quietly, and before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Chen rubbed his bruised cheek and said with a grin, "Mr. Fujiwara, you'd better beat me up again. I won't play this game anymore."

Chen Yang couldn't hold it in any longer. Ever since he beat Fujiwara Nao, he had been pestering Chen Yang to play chess with him.

Yes, his chess skills are indeed very high, and according to his current level he should be around the fifth dan.

But it is only the 28th year of the Republic of China. Where can we find so many Go masters of the eighth and ninth dan levels?

In Japan, a Go player of 5th dan is considered a master-level player.

You should know that in 1964, a Japanese female Go player of the fifth dan level came to China for exchanges, and she alone defeated six of the top Chinese players at that time.

However, for a system of this level to fight against Chen Yang's system, it would be like a kindergarten student fighting against a nine-foot-tall strong man.

Even if he uses both hands and feet, he can easily crush the opponent.

Unable to defeat Chen Yang, Fujiwara Nao was furious and humiliated, so he had a friendly exchange of martial arts experiences with Chen Yang and beat Chen Yang into submission.

Then, he asked Chen Yang to play chess with him.

The game lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, and Fujiwara Nao had not won a single game.

Even if Chen Yang gave him a hand, he still couldn't win.

Of course, it can't be too obvious. After all, Fujiwara Nao is a master, and if it is too obvious, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face.

Therefore, Chen Yang was exhausted. He had to win but not too obviously, nor let Fujiwara Nao lose too ugly.

But Fujiwara Nao just refused to believe it, and his loss went from four points to one and a half points.

Fujiwara Nao felt that his chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds and he would be able to defeat Chen Yang soon.

But Chen Yang was in great pain. I had let the water flow so much that it became the Pacific Ocean.

If he continues like this, all his brain cells will die. He didn't die in martial arts competition, but playing Go almost ruined his brain. This is too ridiculous.

"One last round, play one last round with me. I'm sure I can win this game." Fujiwara begged with a smile on his face, his tone obviously a little humble.

Generally, those who say such things are bad chess players. It is surprising that a master like Fujiwara Nao would say such things.

Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that he had been hit too hard today.

"Mr. Fujiwara, you said this three hours ago." Chen Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I still have to work tomorrow, I really can't go down anymore."

Before Fujiwara Nao could say anything, he suddenly heard footsteps: "Mr. Fujiwara, a lady who calls herself Mrs. Yamamoto wants to see you."

The appearance of the maid Tokida Keiko really made Chen Yang feel relieved.

Fujiwara Nao's face changed slightly, and he muttered in dissatisfaction: "Is the Madam afraid that I have some feelings for you? She underestimates me too much."

Chen Yang quickly explained: "Mr. Fujiwara, you think too much. Madam probably saw that I had not returned yet, so she came to see me. I usually have a lot of things to do in this position."

"Okay," Fujiwara Nao stopped struggling and put down the chess piece casually, saying, "Then go back early. I'll find you when I have time."

"Got it, Mr. Fujiwara. I'll take my leave first." Chen Yang stood up, bowed, and fled away from the building.

"Mr. Fujiwara, it seems that you scared him. He saw me as if I were his savior." Not long after Chen Yang left, Li Xianshu walked into the room with soft steps.

"He's not that cowardly." Fujiwara Nao looked at the unfinished game on the table with a look of deep dejection on his face.

"So you are quite satisfied with his performance..." Li Xianshu's face showed a trace of relief: "You recognize him."

"This is a rare talent," Fujiwara Nao raised his head, no longer paying attention to the chess game, and smiled, "His ability is there. Although his behavior has some flaws, many people in the headquarters are optimistic about him."

"He has the ability to stabilize the south and the logistics sector, which is more important than anything else."

Li Xianshu had a complicated expression. Chen Yang was able to bring the people in the logistics department together by investing tens of millions of yen in supplies.

This matter will be exposed sooner or later, but she also believes that Chen Yang must have thought of a way out before he dared to do this.

This child is indeed very good at dealing with people. He can make everyone have a good impression of him, and he does so as a Chinese.

As Fujiwara Nao was packing up his chess pieces, he said calmly, "Madam, you came to see me so late, I'm not talking about Chen Yang, am I?"

"Of course not." Li Xianshu said calmly: "They want to know the true attitude of the headquarters."

"The Kwantung Army has put a lot of effort into preparing for the winter plan. If we abandon the plan at this time, many people will be dissatisfied."

Fujiwara Nao put down the chess cup, looked at Li Xianshu and said, "The current situation is not a question of submission or not."

"You know, in the past year or so, the world has undergone tremendous changes."

"The strength of old empires such as Britain and France is declining. The Third Reich is fully capable of controlling the situation in Europe. However, we have not been able to completely occupy the Asian battlefield."

"At this moment, most of our troops are tied up in the Chinese battlefield, while in another place, a country is constantly gaining benefits from the war and even expanding its influence through the war."

Of course, Li Xianshu knew which country Fujiwara Nao was talking about, America...

Fujiwara Nao paused and said slowly: "So, the headquarters believes that our biggest opponent in the future battlefield will not be the Russian bear, but the United States."

"If we want to curb the development of the United States and seize powerful interests in war, we must rely on the navy."

Li Xianshu chuckled and said, "This is not what the headquarters thinks, I'm afraid it's what the navy thinks."

"Do they think America will stop? But now they are a neutral country and will not support either side. Moreover, they have a natural ocean barrier. If you want to force them to stop, the cost is too high."

"Only by paying a huge price can we achieve corresponding results." Fujiwara Nao said in a deep voice: "There are two voices in the empire now."

"However, everyone has a very unified view on the Soviet Union. Given the current situation, continuing the war will not be very beneficial to the empire. We need to change our strategy, open up new battlefields, and quickly replenish our consumption."

"You know what? Over the past year, the Empire's war expenditures have exceeded twice the budget. If we still can't get effective replenishment, we won't need anyone else, we will be dragged down by ourselves."

"Indeed, in everyone's view, provoking the United States is indeed irrational."

"Moreover, we may be retaliated by the other side at any time. However, from another perspective, the Americans are concerned about their own interests. After seeing the strength of the Empire of Japan, they may be able to sit down and negotiate with us calmly."

"So, after discussion, the General Staff created a new operational plan, a global four-circle sharing plan."
