The international war of 1942 was rapidly changing.

The USSR had ended its winter offensive and again moved to a defensive state. Japan was arrogant in Southeast Asia, and the British, American, and Dutch colonial armies in Southeast Asia continued to surrender, and the Japanese army won a complete victory in the Southern Front.

At the same time, due to the attacks of the communist forces behind enemy lines and the volunteers, the Japanese army began to implement the "three-light policy" in the occupied areas of North China.

Faced with an unfavorable situation in the early days of the Pacific War, the United States dispatched bomber formations to launch "Doolittle air strikes" against Japan. Sixteen land-based bombers took off directly from the aircraft carrier and bombed 10 military-industrial targets in Yokohama, Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, and other places.

Although the effect of this bombing was minimal, the impact was very large.

After the news of the US air attack on Japan broke, both China and the United States were jubilant. However, the prestige of the Japanese government in the eyes of the people has been shaken, and the Japanese people have become more and more skeptical about the government's ability to win the war.

The Japanese Army immediately threw the pot on the Navy, and the Navy had no choice but to transfer the aircraft carrier formation from the Indian Ocean back to the mainland. It's very depressing for the navy, they can make meritorious contributions in the Indian Ocean, and in the defense of their own waters, they can only watch others make meritorious contributions.

As a result, Yamamoto 56 shouted the slogan "If the US Pacific Fleet is not eliminated for a day, the empire will not be at peace for a day," and resolutely launched the "Battle of Midway." In this battle, the Japanese navy suffered heavy losses, and it became a turning point in the balance of naval power between the United States and Japan.

Since the outbreak of the Pacific War at the end of last year, fiat currencies have depreciated like never before. Japan threw the fiat currency of the occupied areas into the nationalized and liberated areas, which mixed a large amount of counterfeit money, and while earning a large amount of materials, it also seriously impacted the financial market in the non-occupied areas.

The liberated areas had to ban fiat currency and use the "anti-currency" issued by the Communist Party instead, while the Nationalist Government chose another way to retaliate - printing counterfeit banknotes, and using fake money for fake.

This matter was personally planned and executed by Dai Li, who obtained the banknote printing version of the Japanese counterfeit bank through the traitor Zhou Fohai, and then contacted the American banknote printing factory through Song Ziwen to imitate it. These counterfeit coins were all "central reserve notes" issued by Wang's puppet government, which were copied by the US banknote printing factory and shipped back to Chongqing soon after, and were specially used to rob shopping materials and bribe traitors in the occupied areas.

However, these counterfeit banknotes were soon discovered, not because they were printed too fake, but because they were printed too real.

The counterfeit Wang government banknotes imitated by the United States, because of the excellent paper and exquisite printing, are actually more like real banknotes than real banknotes, and people can see the difference at a glance.

As a last resort, Dai Li could only set up a counterfeit banknote factory in Geyue Mountain, Chongqing, and finally put an end to the shortcomings of counterfeit banknotes being printed too really. Although Wang's puppet government severely cracked down on counterfeit banknotes, there was no way at all, and by the time the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, one yuan for every 1,000 yuan of "Central Reserve Bills" was counterfeit money with Dai Liyin.

Coincidentally, the Japanese counterfeiters are also frantically making counterfeit banknotes in the nationalized areas and liberated areas. However, the "anti-currency" issued by the Communist Party is even more coarse, and even has a little rough edge, and the "anti-currency" made by the Japanese counterfeit is also more real than the real one......

At the end of May, Zhou Weilie successfully passed the high school graduation exam.

On the issue of his son's choice of school, Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi had a month-long dispute, and finally had to let their son make his own decision. Zhang Leyi persuaded hard all day long, but Zhou Hexuan didn't say a word, and directly threw Hua Luogeng's paper to his son.

Without any suspense, Zhou Weilie chose the Southwest Associated University.

Due to the lack of time, Zhou Hexuan could only ask Sun Yonghao to take Wei Lie to Kunming by plane. Zhang Leyi also wanted to follow, but unfortunately she was pregnant, and it was impossible for her to run around at home.

This year's college entrance examination has been canceled the unified examination, and the joint enrollment area system has been implemented instead, and there are only 2 universities in Kunming District, which are convened by Southwest Associated University, and the examination venue is also located in Southwest Associated University. Registration, proposition and marking are determined by the steps and regulations, but the specific operation is determined by the test area itself.

It's much better now, and the college entrance exam questions before the Anti-Japanese War are really tricky. For example, in 1933, the National Beiyang Institute of Technology independently proposed, and the first topic of the first session was an essay, with the title: Chang Kaishen did not resist Japan, and Song Ziwen borrowed a lot of money in Europe and the United States, trying to state its facts and comment on it.

After coming to Kunming, Sun Yonghao first took the young master to choose a hotel in the city, and then went to the office of the Southwest Associated University to register. The deadline was approaching, and there were not many students who registered for the exam, so I went in without queuing.

The person in charge of signing up was a middle-aged man, he glanced at Sun Yonghao and Zhou Weilie, and said, "Please show the relevant documents." ”

Sun Yonghao hurriedly took out his documents and said, "This is my young master's high school diploma." ”

The middle-aged man casually picked up the graduation certificate and flipped through it, was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked, "The child just turned 12 years old?" ”

Zhou Weilie said: "12 years and three months, 13 years old. Also, I'm not a child, you can call me classmate Zhou. ”

"Okay, classmate Zhou," the middle-aged man said rather strangely, "are you sure that you can be admitted to university?" ”

Zhou Weilie said: "I want to study at Southwest Associated University, I like mathematics, and I want to be a student of Professor Hua Luogeng." ”

"Ambitious, I wish you all the best in your exams." The middle-aged man took out a registration form and asked Zhou Weilie to fill it out by himself.

I stayed in Kunming for a few more days, and finally waited for the official start of the exam.

Perhaps because of the good food and the fact that he was forced to exercise daily, Zhou Weilie has grown very quickly in the past two years, and has exceeded 1.5 meters, which is very rare in the Republic of China, which is generally malnourished. He walked into the examination room alone, and he didn't attract much attention because there were candidates who were shorter than him.

Check the admission ticket, enter the venue, issue the papers, and start the exam.

First of all, I want to explain that there are four sets of examination papers of Southwest Associated University at this time.

The subjects are slightly different and are divided into "grammar group" and "science and engineering group", which are the arts and science subject examinations. On this basis, it is divided into the large rear examination paper and the occupied area examination paper, and the occupied area examination paper is simpler, in order to reflect the care for students in the enemy-occupied area.

Zhou Weilie took the big rear science papers, which were more difficult in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and relatively simple in literature and history.

The first subject, Bahasa Malaysia.

Question 1, Essay: Describe one of your deepest impressions from your childhood.

Zhou Weilie didn't start working on the questions directly, but went through all the questions and came back to write an essay. This kid didn't even write a draft, and started directly on the test paper, writing that when he first moved to Chongqing, his father took their brothers and sisters to fish on the river. Finally, he also concluded that there are laws in everything, which need to be carefully discovered and mastered, and at the same time, it must also be used to seek advice, and anyone may know more than you.

The second question is the style of Chinese translation.

It is to translate classical Chinese into vernacular, and you also need to break the sentence yourself, because the given article has no punctuation. This question is okay, Zhou Weilie roughly understands it, and the translation is not far from ten.

The third question is the translation of language into Chinese.

Well, translating vernacular into classical Chinese, Zhou Weilie's super weakness. He finally stumbled and completed the translation after a long time, and only God knows how many points he can get, but fortunately this is a science paper, and the liberal arts paper must drive him crazy.

No, that's all, there are only three questions in the language exam.

The seven courses were tested for three days, of which history and geography were taken together, and the two courses of history and geography added up to a full score of 100 points.
