[Defying the Storm]

[Episode 33]

I'm going to see

how this mono-alkyl ester biodiesel

will work in warplanes.

Father, that would be great.

What are you doing here?

They're here because of you.

Me?

Why is it related to me?

They almost died

in order to clarify your grievances.

You're crazy.

Made yourselves look like this.

Zeng.

Zeng.

They almost lost their lives for you.

You scolded them.

If you do this again,

I won't be kind to you.

Did you see me scold them?

I…

I couldn't be happier.

Follow me back to Redstone Lab.

I'll show you one thing.

Let's go.

Here we are.

Get in the car.

You…

Kid, you're so badly hurt.

Did you notice that?

You…

Father,

is that road already there?

That road was built the year before last.

They said it was built

to bring fuel in from the south.

It can't be found on the map.

You two get in the car.

Get in the car.

Are you really going to Mongyu?

I heard there's a big war going on.

I'm still in the army.

I'm a three-month veteran.

Of course, I have to go back to the front.

What veteran?

This little soldier thinks the same as me.

Yes.

The name on the military card is fake,

but I,

a student soldier of Fuhua, am real.

I'll go with Mr. Chen.

Okay.

Take care of yourselves.

Take care of yourselves.

Don't let me lose you.

Don't worry.

Okay, get in.

Mr. Chen, Wang Junyan,

take care of yourselves.

Take care of yourselves.

Colonel,

seven years ago,

I also believed that

with the bravery of our Imperial Japanese soldiers

and superior weapons,

we could take down the messy and divided China

in just a few days or months.

The battle is not over yet,

the imperial soldiers are still fighting with blood.

I also believe that

our imperial army will win in the end.

But the current situation

also confirms my thoughts.

Suffering and death

will only make the Chinese more sober,

and even more united.

Why are we sinking deeper and deeper

into this war?

There is only one reason that

the Chinese refuse to give in.

What is a country?

A country is not just an entity,

it also has culture and belief.

Force can destroy the entity of China,

but it cannot destroy their adherence

to their own culture and national beliefs.

To make them obey us completely,

we have to break their faith,

and make their belief in their own culture

collapse completely.

Mr. Choumei Okawa

said in Jusenkyo that

Japan is the center of Asia.

The so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity

cannot be said only with guns,

but also be supported by cultural theories.

Mr. Okayama,

we can't cover culture

in a few days or months.

Unfortunately,

there is no more chance

to do cultural coverage.

But I still hope that

what you said today is useful.

It will be useful.

Not in the immediate future,

but in the future.

Uncle, are you tired?

I'm fine.

In front of you

is the Miao Guan Shang Yue you mentioned.

Look,

over there is the abandoned yard of the farmer,

which hasn't been used for a long time.

It's right there. We'll be there soon.

Okay.

Brother,

take this.

When you get back,

don't tell anyone we were here.

Got it. Thanks.

Hong'en.

Uncle.

You go back with the guide.

I'll go in myself.

How can I go back?

Do as you're told.

If I'm not back in three days,

tell your aunt that

my family depends on her.

No, Uncle.

Uncle.

Sir.

A Chinese came from the trail,

and said he had an appointment with Mr. Okayama.

Yes.

Mr. Meng, I didn't expect you to come.

Mr. Ling, did he miss his appointment?

I didn't expect that

Mr. Okayama, who only conducts academic research

and has no political stance,

would make an academic meeting not in the library,

but in this ancient temple in the middle of nowhere.

Professor Ling didn't miss the appointment.

I represent Fuhua University

in all of these matters.

Mr. Meng,

I'm glad you're here.

Mr. Meng, sit down please.

Bastard!

Tie him up.

Mr. Ando,

all who come are guests,

not to mention a scholar like Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng, there's an old Chinese saying that

don't lie in front of real people.

I just like that

you are a real person,

not hypocritical and fragile

like many Chinese literati.

Tell you the truth,

I need oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

And Ling Wenyue's Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

must stop.

But can you do these for me?

Since I'm here,

I'm sure I can do them for you.

But only if

I see Zhang Qi and Zeng Nianqiao now.

And you promise me that

they will return to the team properly.

You lied to us last time.

You are a discredited person in my eyes.

How can you negotiate

with our soldiers of the Japanese Empire here?

Mr. Meng, as you see,

even this military man knows that

I only want Ling Wenyue.

Zhang Qi and Zeng Nianqiao

are in my hands.

Don't worry,

they must be safe.

You mean that only Professor Ling

can get them back, right?

I am the secretary general of Fuhua University

and the dean of the School of Chinese Studies.

I have dozens of great scholars

like Professor Ling Wenyue,

and countless intellectual treasures in my hands.

Do you think I am not worthy enough?

Mr. Meng is joking, you are worthy enough.

If you can stand up and point out the errors

in Ling Wenyue's Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar,

hand over oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding,

pledge allegiance to Japan,

and join hands with me to prove to the world that

Chinese history is only 2,000 years old,

and that the so-called Three Emperors and Five Emperors,

the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are all lies.

Then that's enough, Mr. Meng.

Mr. Okayama, I advise you

to stop indulging in your own lies,

which will always be a fantasy.

The 5,000 years of our Chinese history

cannot disappear with your nonsense.

You claim to be a scholar,

but you don't even have the basic spirit

of seeking truth and pragmatism as a scholar.

You are too ignorant of our Chinese scholars.

Do you think he can scare me

just by talking dirty?

Tell you the truth,

if I can't take these two kids with me,

I don't want to go back alive.

Mr. Meng,

you shouldn't be so selfish,

you shouldn't think like this.

Even if you don't think about yourself,

you have to think about your loved ones, right?

Zhang Qi, Zeng Nianqiao

and Xiao Hongen,

they are all your relatives.

Bring him up.

Uncle.

Hong'en.

Uncle, they didn't hurt you, did they?

With Meng Wuran in your hands,

you don't have to worry that

Ling Wenyue will do anything against you.

If you're not sure,

let me handle it.

But I have to take this reporter Xiao with me,

he's still useful to me.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

I'm really sorry.

Hong'en,

we're not afraid of making mistakes,

but we're afraid of making mistakes again.

Do you remember the text

you memorized most when you were a child?

Editor Xiao, let's go.

Go ahead.

Uncle,

take care of yourself.

Is this the new road that was built?

Yes.

Before it was a detour through Bamo, which was far.

Now we can reach Kunming in five days

via Wanding and Longling.

Director,

the tanker that just passed is ours too.

If the China-India pipeline opens up,

Jing'an's oil will be hard to sell.

Hurry up,

and get as much oil as you can.

Must save this road for me.

Don't worry, sir.

There's no such road on the map.

Comrade Bai Zhenzhu,

let me ask you,

what is the task assigned to you

by our organization?

Where the masters are

is where the Chinese cultural lineage is.

My task

is to protect the professors of Fuhua University,

especially Professors Ling and Meng.

Comrade Zhenzhu,

Zhang Fakui's division

is losing the battle against the Japanese,

resulting in the Japanese army to go further west,

and have occupied Dushan in Guizhou.

Although the Japanese army was afraid of

going too far into the interior,

which would be unfavorable,

they withdrew from Dushan.

But it is not clear

whether they will turn to attack Kunming.

So the situation now

is very serious for us.

The organization asked us

to establish a reliable fighting base

in the southwestern countryside as soon as possible,

to deal with the possible

Japanese attack on Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan,

as well as future major domestic events.

Major domestic events?

I also learned something about the KMT

through my father Bai Fei.

Because of the American intervention,

the Chongqing government now

proposes to renegotiate with our Party.

But it was clear that

Chiang was not very sincere about

our proposal for a democratic coalition government.

In view of the current domestic war situation,

the KMT army

has made strategic planning mistakes

and tactical failures,

resulting in defeats

in the battle against the Japanese.

In response to the Japanese invasion,

our party's policy is to retake

wherever the Kuomintang had lost.

Let's take back

wherever the Kuomintang has lost.

Yes.

Now the Mongyu counter-offensive

on the Burma border is about to start.

The organization will send

two underground communicators with you

to carry out the task.

Okay, come down.

Come here.

Come on, from here.

Look.

Look.

Look.

Look,

this is the engine lab.

Professor.

Okay.

How is it?

Is this the flight lab

that Uncle Meng built for you?

Don't give all the credit to Meng Zhongtang.

There's also the money from Supervisor Bai.

This place may be small,

but it has everything I need.

And

it's built underground,

so it's safe.

Sir, is this a turbo engine?

Inlet,

combustion chamber,

turbine and tailpipe.

This is a heat engine.

The principle of its work

is to input energy at high pressure,

and release it at low pressure.

Yes.

Captain.

Isn't that the Tsiolkovsky formula

you wrote before?

I used it.

Is it possible

to add a gassing combustion chamber?

What did you say?

Between the turbine and the tailpipe.

To increase the thrust,

we have to increase the temperature

and boost ratio,

which will consume a lot of kinetic energy.

Fuel consumption will be frighteningly high.

But over the years,

you have been thinking about this,

and have been studying tung oil.

Captain,

you have also been thinking about

turbo engines over the years.

That's why you worked

as a mechanic for three years, right?

By the way, father,

these are the materials of the latest foreign models

I have collected over the years,

check if they are useful.

So many.

Yes.

And these are the captain's.

We took great pains to bring them here.

The design of my imaginary turbine engine.

Please mark my papers again.

What paper?

I don't even know

who I am now.

I've been playing Zeng Mu for half my life,

I can't play anymore.

I used to think about recovering my name.

Since Poshan died,

I realized that

it doesn't matter what my name is.

What matters is that

I am now the life of Chinese physics,

and I am a fighter of physics.

As long as I can make out this turbine engine,

I will die without regret.

My father's half-life wish was

to publish academic articles with his real name,

and return to Hailun City with his own family name

to pay tribute to my mother and the Zeng family.

That's not important.

Zhang Qi,

after knowing my life,

do you think I'm a despicable impostor,

and let you down?

Forget it.

I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed that you have abandoned the lectern,

and your students, who treat you like brother or father,

to hide in the mountains,

seemingly thinking about your past,

but in fact adding to the wrong.

No matter what your surname is,

you are still a great scholar.

You has spent half of your life teaching.

I know that you have a burden in your heart.

The crash of Xishan,

and Poshan…

Over these years,

you must have calculated countless times.

Knowing that you have not miscalculated,

it's more important

to account to the real culprits

to pay tribute to Poshan

and the relatives in Hailun City.

I'm not discouraged.

Sir,

how can you be discouraged?

Father.

Father.

Great.

Great.

No matter your surname is Zeng or Qin,

you are always my teacher.

Come on.

Do you know what this is?

Xishan.

Didn't expect that, did you?

The day after the Xishan was decommissioned,

I asked Minster to give it to my father.

That's nothing.

Come on.

Come here.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Look at this.

My father left in anger,

and everyone knew that.

So Haitang proposed to let him

take oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding

out of Fuhua.

I agreed with her.

Haitang's idea.

The girl has grown up.

You're really responsible for this period of time.

Don't mention it.

Responsible?

Didn't your Haitang

take it with heavy responsibility?

Your teacher took it

and you are so polite.

Listen,

no one can hide anything better than me.

Sir, that's not what I meant.

Guess,

what's that thing?

Do you know it?

It's

B-25.

Right.

I asked the Nine Factory for it.

I want to study how to change the engine.

I've changed it

to a honeycomb frame,

which can hold 25 55-kilogram bombs,

or two 500-kilogram bombs.

Father,

where did you get the bombs?

They're all fake,

just for show.

So the Xishan is empty too?

Yes, just for show.

It's a pursuit plane,

without any bombing function.

Besides,

the model is too old to be upgraded.

Then, can it still fly?

What do you mean?

Do you think I'm here

to play with specimens?

Both planes can fly,

they just don't have fuel.

What do you think?

I'm a little worried about that road today.

Road?

There are nearly 100 records

and even records of

whether Fu Zi had a toothache.

♫ Across time and distance ♫

♫ Go for the promise of this time ♫

When you work for Mr. Ling,

don't drink his tea.

He likes strong tea.

Every time you drink it, you can't sleep well.

Chinese have been turned from rejection to submission

of Western culture,

and from arrogance to inferiority

of their own culture.

China's former fate was in diplomacy,

but its future fate

will be in domestic affairs.

The Chinese Nationalist Party

is the general organ of the country

that leads revolutionary construction,

and is the only revolutionary party in China.

I can't read it.

No wonder Meng said

it was nonsense to

publish such a work as a national leader.

Wuran is right.

Chiang Kai-shek wrote The Fate of China,

which is like openly declaring war

on the Communist Party.

It's worrying.

Come in.

Dad,

there's a telegram for you

from the school concierge.

Telegram.

[Telegram from Okayama Shinichi]

Oh, no.

Something's happened to Wuran.

I knew something bad would happen.

He didn't let me tell you.

He told me to keep it a secret.

He said he was afraid of delaying Mr. Ling's book.

What should we do now?

What should we do?

Aiju, don't worry.

The Japanese have been afraid of

the release of Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

Now the book has not been published,

and Ling has been here.

So I believe that

Meng will be fine for now.

I'm going to exchange Wuyan back now.

The person they want is me.

No.

Mr. Ling, you can't.

Meng went there for you.

Dad,

I'll go with you.

How can you go there?

You're just a kid.

There's a bus to Longling in the afternoon.

When I get there,

I'll find a way to change the bus

to Miao Guan.

Neither of you can go.

Okayama Shinichi's intention

is very clear.

He uses Meng as a threat to stop you from

publishing Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

The reason why Meng went to Western Yunnan for you

is also because of Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

Which is more important,

don't you know?

The publication of Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

can be delayed.

But the life of Meng is at stake.

Meng Wuran has been protecting us

like a hen for so many years,

I can't let him risk his life because of this.

We'll save Meng.

And Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

must be published on time.

Let me go to Hongshi for you.

Okayama wants me.

Then I'll go with you.

You…

Qianying,

the publication of Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar

is over to you and Haitang.

Remember not to delay for a day.

Haitang.

Aunt,

you stay and publish

Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

Uncle Ling, I'm going to Western Yunnan with you.

Why are you here?

Mom.

Did you find out what happened

to Zhang Qi and your father?

Zhang Qi? What happened to him?

You can't go.

When your father left,

I knew he was determined to sacrifice.

He is trying to protect Mr. Ling and you.

If you go there,

would he die in vain?

It's okay, don't worry.

Three years ago,

Zhang Qi was prepared.

Don't worry,

I'm the only one who can save dad.

Haitang,

there is one thing I have been worried about.

Although the Japanese seem to be

closely robbing oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

But I think that is only a cover.

Their purpose is not simply

to rob a cultural relic.

Over the years, I have learned one thing.

Oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding are important,

but the people who study it are more important.

Whether it is Mr. Kang, Mr. Ling,

or Mr. Meng and Uncle Zeng,

they are the treasures of the country.

The biggest role of oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding

in this troubled world

is to protect the nation's cultural lineage.

Mr. Jin set this up before.

When these professors

who study the origin of Chinese culture

are in trouble,

then start this plan.

I will keep oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding.

You just go to Western Yunnan,

and find out what happened to the Xishan.

Oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding is not lost,

I hid it in a safe place.

Okayama has been conspiring

to promote cultural invasion.

Robbing oracle bone inscriptions of Wuding
is just a cover.

His real purpose is to

prevent Mr. Ling from publishing

Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

Uncle, let me go to Western Yunnan with you.

Now it's time to

make them suffer from their own scheme.

No, you can't go.

I don't know anything about

what you're talking about.

I only know that

the people who went to Western Yunnan

are not sure of their lives now.

It's okay.

I think

we should turn to the government for help.

Mom.

What do you think?

Everybody's here.

I'll accompany Mr. Ling and Haitang

to Western Yunnan.

Be careful.

Qianying, listen to your mother at home.

Bring them all back safely.

All right.

Don't worry.

Good girl, Qianying.

Lanshan.

Be careful.

Be safe on the road.

Auntie, take care of yourself.

Wait for me.

I'll go.

Dad, be careful on the road.

Mom,

they will come back safely.

Yes.

They will come back safely.

But the Japanese have already taken Guizhou.

If we don't win the battle in Western Yunnan,

we'll be attacked on both sides.

If the Japanese really attack Kunming,

what should we do?

We Chinese have the backbone.

Since ancient times,

the emperors have guarded our country.

Isn't the Dianchi Lake at our door?

Sacrifice to show our will.

Mom, but I think that Chinese scholars,

before choosing to sacrifice calmly,

should fight until their last breath.

Young people like you do have

more courage and wisdom than me.

Okay,

let's fight the battle of

Study on the Yin Dynasty Calendar.

Never give up

until the moment of victory.

Miss Zhenzhu,

you have been protecting me and Zhang Qi.

This time,

we still trouble you to suffer with us.

Don't you want to invite the enemy into your trap?

After that,

you, Mr. Ling, and Mr. Meng,

you may not be able to catch him.

Of course I have to help you.

In fact, you also protected us in Beiji Pavilion.

I often feel that

there is an inexplicable power behind you.

If I'm not wrong,

a strong faith has been supporting you, right?

Miss Zhenzhu,

I also want to be like you.

Haitang,

we are good friends.

Of course we should solve problems together.

You can go to Western Yunnan calmly

to cooperate with Zhang Qi's plan,

which means you don't have to be like me.

I believe you will only do better than me.

Mr. Ling,

I asked my dad to send us to Longling

by a transport plane first.

This is the fastest way.

Thank you.

As long as we can

get to Miao Guan as soon as possible.

But the Japanese 56th Division

is stationed near Miao Guan.

I don't think

we should throw ourselves into the net.

It seems that we need more help.

There's someone you'd like to see.

[Xiang Ping, the temporary station of Youth Army]

I am the new director

of the political department of our youth army.

Today is also the first time

to meet with you all.

There are some things

I need to tell you as the director.

You have performed well recently.

Director Lu is very satisfied.

Director Lu invited you to Xiang Ping this time

because he wants to use your writing skills.

Meng Haichen is one of the instructors of the youth army.

He was transferred from the Air Force

to teach land-to-air defense theory.

You personally introduced Meng to the Japanese.

The photos were taken.

You're smart,

so I'm sure you wouldn't want to

expose yourself in front of Instructor Meng.

When the report of Youth Army is finished,

you can go back to Kunming.

You are all young talents

who have given up study to join the army

and fight for our country.

The most important thing for our youth army

is to serve the Party and the country
wholeheartedly and firmly.

Japan is now a spent force.

We're bound to fight with the Communists.

So, you must be prepared

to fight the Communists to the death.

After this training,

the best of you will be sent to India by air

for further training,

so that you can become cadres of the Youth Army

and serve the Party well.

Chief Xu, take a roll call.

Let's get to know each other.

Mr. Ling,

you've got to be kidding me.

If you don't hand over the thing today,

you won't be able to leave.

Xiao Zhengxuan.

Yes.

Wang Pinxian.

Yes.

Zhou Yue.

Yes.

Song Zixiang.

Song Zixiang.
