Chapter 290: Battleship Girl

When the emperor and other high-ranking officials arrived at the shipyard, Li Huamei, in the form of Yamato Nadeshiko, was reviewing the "Battleship Girl" manga that would be published this month in the villa built especially for her near the dockyard.

In order to absorb more of the power of faith, Li Huamei referred to the popular Japanese comics such as "Chariot Girl", "Battleship Girl", and "Ship Girl", and published a comic series called "Battleship Girl" in this era.

The comic is based on the world history that began with the First Sino-Japanese War, and all the famous warships of the world at that time were "motherized", and a set of comics of the ship girl series were made against the background of the famous naval battles of various countries in the past 50 years.

As the time for Japan to enter the war is getting closer and closer, in order to brush up more power of faith, this manga is made quite quickly with the help of the national machine of Japan. Artists and manga artists from all over Japan were gathered to help create this manga about the battleship girl.

With the help of the whole country, the comic was created at a very fast speed, and even achieved a high speed of "two watches" or even "three watches" a week, and the comic has been published in nearly 100 episodes in less than a year. Because of its beautiful graphics and innovative ideas, it is very popular not only among young people in Japan, but also among adult naval and army officers and soldiers. In order to brush up on the power of faith, the manga is given away for free in schools in Japan and is available in libraries for students to see. The influence among the next generation of Japanese teenagers has expanded dramatically.

For Japan in the forties of the twentieth century, this kind of premature production of the creativity of Japanese comics decades later, its expression xiàn technique, table xiàn form, the impact brought by this is extremely huge, and Japan's "next generation" is under the blow of "future Japanese comic works". There was no resistance at all, and a large number of them fell into its "fans".

What surprised Li Huamei even more was that under the construction of her sister Katyusha, she tried to release the comic in the United States, and it also achieved excellent sales.

When the emperor came to Li Huamei's residence, several Japanese manga creators were handing over the first draft of the latest issue of "Battleship Girl" to Li Huamei for review.

When the emperor and his entourage came to Yamato Nadeshiko's residence. However, they were stopped by the Shinto shrine maiden at the door, and in the end there were only four people, including the emperor, the prime minister, the land minister, and the sea minister, in addition to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, who had personally participated in the Norwegian naval battle, and was allowed to enter, while a large number of officers with lower positions could only stay in the guest rooms outside.

The emperor and his entourage will come over today, and they have already made an appointment with Li Huamei in advance. However, Li Huamei did not shirk anything else at all, but continued to do what she should do, without giving face to the emperor or high-ranking Japanese officials. And the emperor and others also felt that it was "natural" for her to do so.

Because the current Yamato Nadeshiko is a "god", it seems strange that the "gods" are accommodating to "mortals", and Li Huamei is doing it now. It's just the shelves and privileges of the "gods".

The walls of the room where Li Huamei and the Japanese manga artist met were covered with a large number of poster stickers of the "Battleship Girl" comics. The plot of "Battleship Girl", which was released late last year, has developed to 1935 in this time and space history, and the background of the story is the 1935 British and Japanese joint intervention war against China.

Japan lost this war, and it was reflected "truthfully" in the manga. Regarding this plot, there were people in Japan who wanted to ban the plot of Japan's defeat in the comic, but it was vetoed by Emperor Li Hua Mei Tong Guò.

At that time, Li Huamei said to Emperor Chongren: "Japan in the past. Going too far in gambling and irrationality, we must face up to our own failures. Otherwise, the mistake will be made again. This manga is the beginning of the return of the people to reason. ”

Emperor Takahito felt justified, and with his support, the follow-up plot of "Battleship Girl" had to continue to develop. Since its publication, the manga has been largely linked to the plot of real-life politics, and its release in Japan has met with considerable resistance.

In the comics, Li Huamei explained to the reader. Because the battleships were all manned by male sailors, they were extremely masculine. The so-called extremes of things must be opposed, and the ship soul and ship spirit born from this have become the "ship girl" of women.

In this comic called "Battleship Girl", all the warships of various countries are "mother-in-law", and the ship mother represents China. is the image of Lin Han, who is motherized, a beautiful girl with a long braid, and the "big boss" of the Chinese side in this comic.

In the comics, his identity is described as the aggregate of the undead of the Beiyang Naval Division, who came back to life because of an accident, and later joined the CCP side and the British and Japanese countries as enemies, wearing a red coat, appearing as an evil demon, and his combat power is extremely amazing.

This image of the "ship girl" representing Lin Han was designed by Li Huamei herself, referring to the undefeated image of the East in the later "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

In the recent issues of "Battleship Girl", in the plot of the Chinese War, she bombarded and killed Japan's "Kaga" and "Fengxiang" two "ship girls", and also tore the British ship girl representing the "Fury" aircraft carrier, a "flat-chested girl" into powder. In order to reflect the strength of this Chinese ship girl, in those episodes of the comics, the scene when she killed was deliberately drawn extremely bloody and real.

What's more interesting is that this Chinese ship girl was also born with a pair of amazingly large "breasts".

With Li Huamei's original character, she would not have designed such a "spoofed" plot and character image, which was all the result of Katyusha in her body. Although Katyusha's work is extremely unreliable, there is one thing that Li Huamei is far inferior, that is, her brain is often open-minded, and she often has all kinds of whimsical ideas. As far as imagination is concerned, it is far above the rigid and self-disciplined Li Huamei.

After the publication of the plot manga about the episode "Battleship Girl" about the Chinese intervention war in 1935, this plot that provoked an old wound in Japan caused a sensation and confusion throughout Japan again. Some Japanese, dissatisfied with the revelation of the scars and the exposure of the "emperor's new clothes", even besieged the publishing house and issued death threats to the author, until the Japanese Emperor Takahito personally intervened and issued a statement to the people, and these people were calmed down.

In a circular to the people, Emperor Takahito publicly stated: "In the 1935 Chinese intervention war, our Empire of Japan was indeed defeated. If you lose, you must admit defeat so that you have the opportunity to reflect on the mistakes you have made in the past. After the Black Ship Incident that year. It was precisely because of the reflection on its own mistakes that the entire Japanese Empire had its subsequent rise and decades of glory. Now it's time for us to reflect on ourselves."

Thanks to the personal endorsement of Emperor Takahito, the manga was able to continue to be published. However, because of this incident, the Japanese military department and the rational faction began to rise. Then Emperor Takahito took the opportunity to promote some of his favorite confidants.

And in the last few issues of "Battleship Girl", the plot has basically been linked to the current war in the world. The latest issues of "Battleship Girl" have just been released. The story described is the plot of the first naval battle in the Norwegian Sea in Europe at the end of December last year, in which the British high-speed fleet was completely wiped out.

Because the "Battleship Girl" manga is in line with current events, it is extremely popular not only in Japan, but also in the United States and even Europe. In the United States, some people who pay attention to Japan's decision-making departments also use the information revealed in the plot of "Battleship Girl" to infer the future strategic direction of Japan's national policy in this sensitive period, after all, this manga that has repeatedly "hit thunder" can be distributed smoothly in Japan, a conservative country, and it is inseparable from the public support of Emperor Chongren. Its plot can also reflect the inner thoughts and views of the Japanese leadership. As the plot time of "Battleship Girl" and the time of the real war are getting closer and closer, this comic has also attracted more and more attention from Europe and the United States.

When the emperor and his entourage arrived, Li Huamei was in the room discussing the plot and details of the next manga with these cartoonists.

In the room, Li Huamei said: "Zeppelin's chest curve is drawn a little flatter, and the flight deck of the air carrier is very flat, which is different from the battleship. Also, after winning the battle, there is a picture like this, Ziggy standing on top of Ramillis. Then she said to Sister Shane her favorite words: poor milk is a rare resource, the sea of the future. It is the world of poor milk. ”

The writer and cartoonist asked, "What is the Shane sisters' rebuttal line?" According to the strong character of these two sisters' previous expressions, there shouldn't be a squeak here, right? ”

As she spoke, the cartoonists and screenwriters in the room took the opportunity to peek at Li Huamei's towering breasts.

"Cut! Just one word, the onomatopoeia "cut", just let the two show disdainful expressions. ”

When "Battleship Girl" was released, it used a lot of the speaking habits of later generations. At first, it was not very popular among traditional adult Japanese, and the first readers were for the gorgeous pictures, but it was very popular among young people and young people who were young and receptive to new things. However, due to its realistic allusion style close to "reality", it soon became popular.

After the manga was published in Japan, the biggest benefit was that it filled up the Navy. A large number of young people regard joining the Navy as their goal in life, which makes the Navy happy to compete with the army red deer for people and resources.

Emperor Takahito and his entourage waited in the living room outside the house for five minutes, waiting for Li Huamei to negotiate with the people from the publishing house before entering. They were surprised to see so many high-ranking officials here, and they were all shocked. After sending off these stunned "ordinary people", Li Huamei changed rooms before starting to receive the emperor and his party.

Emperor Takahito watched with fascination as Li Huamei performed the Japanese tea ceremony, and then said in an appreciative tone: "The Yamato has not yet been launched, and it has already attracted strong attention from the people. ”

In this "Battleship Girl" comic, the name of the strongest "ship girl" representing Japan happens to be Yamato Nadeshiko, which has the same name as Li Huamei's Japanese identity. In the manga, she is the strongest decisive weapon of the Japanese Empire, and has a proud body curve in terms of breasts. According to Li Huamei's request, the body curves of each battleship girl in the comics are determined according to the caliber of the battleship they represent.

With the help of this comic, Li Huamei not only brushed a lot of faith points in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States, and also won a lot, in addition to ordinary teenagers, a large number of salty wet guys have also become fans of this comic, and the popular heroine Yamato Nadeshiko, who has not yet appeared in the comics to really show her strength, has brushed a lot of faith power for Li Huamei this year.

Li Huamei made a cup of fragrant tea, handed it to Emperor Chongren, and then said in a flat tone: "My strength depends on the Japanese people's belief in me and the happiness in their hearts. If I can't bring happiness to the Japanese people in the future war, the resentment in their hearts will weaken me and even die. ”

In front of Emperor Chonghito and a group of high-ranking Japanese officials, Li Huamei has always played the image of loving the Japanese people more than anyone else, and she has played this role extremely successfully so far, needless to say, the emperor who has been fascinated by Li Huamei. Even those traditional Japanese elite families such as Mitsui Mitsubishi in Japan, who know that the high-level chaebol executives who have their existence may be worried that the appearance of "Yamato Nadeshiko" will hurt their interests, but no one has ever thought of her, and no one believes that she is a foreign spy at all, and she is not a Japanese god at all.

Emperor Chonghito said to Li Huamei: "We have already made a decision. ”

"When to do it?"

"There was a lot of controversy. Some people want to do it in May, some people think it will do it in October. The main factor is the fear of being late and missing the opportunity. ”

Li Huamei shook her head and said, then said, "The empire is not ready yet, at least not this year." ”

The current Prime Minister of Japan, Mitsumasa Yonechi from the Navy, said: "Britain is falling faster than we imagined, and Southeast Asia is now in a vacuum. ”

Li Huamei said: "It's not a vacuum, there are Americans." ”

Mitsumasa Minechi said: "The U.S. government has just issued a statement that it will sell four battleships to England in the next two years. In the Pacific, our navy will have the absolute upper hand. Those who insist on the attitude of doing it early are worried about the intervention of the Americans, after all, such a large area of land is now in a vacuum, and Britain and the United States are now in such a relationship, and they will miss this opportunity to do it again."

Li Huamei was silent, and with a gesture of her right hand, a globe flew over in the room. She gently twitched the globe for a while. Li Huamei sighed and said: "The British Empire has not completely lost all of its gambling capital yet!" Therefore, the timing and place of the Empire's entry into the war is important. Not at least not this year. My new body, the Yamato, is to be fully combat-ready, at least until the end of the year, and the other three empty ships. For the Imperial Navy to fully exploit its strength, it will also take time to adapt. And"

Li Huamei paused, then raised her right hand and punched the air hard. Then he said: "If the Americans want to occupy that land, then let them occupy it!" And not only let them take possession. And let them occupy more, encourage them to occupy it! The more you have, the better! ”

"Why?"

All the high-ranking Japanese officials in the house were puzzled.

Li Huamei smiled faintly: "Because from the mainland of the United States to Southeast Asia, across the Pacific Ocean, this distance is very far!" ”

In the house, Yamamoto Fifty-six was the first to understand the meaning of Li Huamei's words.

"Do you mean that as long as we win the naval battle in the Pacific, the forces deployed by the Americans in Southeast Asia will become a dead chess?"

Li Huamei nodded with an appreciative expression. After the miraculous victory of the German Navy, even Isoroku Yamamoto, who had historically opposed the war against the United States, was now ready to move.

Then she continued: "As long as the naval battle is won, every investment of the Americans in Southeast Asia will become a dead chess." The more they invest in the early stage, the greater the loss will be in the future. Now this point in time is the most sensitive point for the Americans and the British, and I believe that the current Britain and the United States are on guard against the Empire, so during this time, the attitude of the Empire is very important. ”

"Your opinion is"

"If the public wants to take it, it must be given first! My view is that the Empire should issue a statement encouraging Americans to take more responsibility for Asia. This statement should be made by the pro-American faction in China, by His Excellency Yamamoto-kun and His Excellency Narumi Inoue. The other side"

Li Huamei turned her head to Mitsumasa Mine: "You can find another group of people to express another level of view: to demand that the current status quo in the Pacific be maintained, that any force change the pattern of the Taiping region, and that the attitude of maintaining the interests of the English people should be maintained." ”

"Outwardly, out of the empire, do you have two voices, pro-American and pro-British?"

"Yes, the Empire will also send people to visit England and the United States respectively to make a gesture of seeking political support in exchange for all kinds of resources and loans that the Empire needs, and to strive for more benefits and benefits before next year's war."

So far, because of the accurate prediction of the outbreak of the European war and the progress of the war, Li Huamei's current views are an important reference for determining Japan's national policy.

Li Huamei finally concluded: "The current situation in the western Pacific, the empire should not be in a hurry now, it should learn to strike later, and the empire should not prematurely state its attitude and position. ”

When Li Huamei objected to "eating beef" now, her opinion was quickly accepted.

On the same day, after discussing the trend of national policy for the coming year with the Japanese high-level leaders led by the emperor, Yamaguchi Tabun and other naval officers who had personally experienced the two Norwegian naval battles stayed behind and began to pay tribute to Li Huamei about the entire process of the naval battle at that time.

In the meantime, the room was decorated with models of the British and German ships of both sides during the two battles, and then the elite of the Admiralty played half of the German army and half of the British army, and the battlefield was "restored". The restoration of the battlefield and the re-enactment of the aftermath of the battle also took advantage of this by the Japanese side to deduce the most suitable naval battle tactics for Li Huamei according to her ability.

Japan, which was already ready to move and could not bear it anymore, once again put away its greedy paws in the face of Li Huamei's interference, and temporarily played the role of a "loyal dog" in front of Britain and the United States to reassure both countries and guard East Asia.
