"We must remember our motherland! Remember the efforts of our fathers! Higashikure Nariko shouted sternly towards the step-palace who had not yet lost her milk hair.!

Jigong, who is only 11 years old, has just been crowned the crown prince by Hirohito in advance, and he does not have the majesty of the later generation of Akihito Locusts, so he can only listen to the eldest sister's reprimand honestly with his head down.

King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, who had become the chief of Ouchi, watched silently from the side, while Higashikure's newlywed husband Higashikure Shenghou looked a little anxious and kept looking out of the porthole.

Outside the window, only the sea water blended into the night, and although there were occasional flashes of phosphorescent light or the light reflected by the escort fleet, it was isolated from the noise of the outside world. Not only the various commands of the escort fleet, but even the loud roar of the steam turbines were kept out of this room.

It has to be said that the huge body of this Amaterasu provides enough space to isolate the huge noise caused by the engine.

Whenever someone sees this Amaterasu, they exclaim that it is a miracle.

Even Higashikure, who had been amazed by the Yamato, was speechless for a long time in shock when he saw the huge body of the Amaterasu moored on the sea.

He had scoffed at all the rumors about the lottery ship before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he could no longer describe the visual impact of this steel giant beast in barren words, and only the words that his father, King Minoru Higashikure, had excitedly recited in his mind:

"An unsinkable steel floating island!"

In this World War II era, when the largest cargo ships, cruise ships, and even those warships did not exceed 80,000 tons, this lottery ship with a full tonnage of one million tons can only be described as a miracle, and even it can no longer be described as a ship, and it is more appropriate to call it a floating island.

If the Americans were to build it, they might be able to make it out of steel, but for Japan, which has always felt that steel is always insufficient, it is difficult to make it all out of steel.

Previously, Meng Xiang also used the warship steel produced by the base to make up for it, but later, for fear of accidents, the subsidized steel was transferred to the United States or Germany. After the war between Japan and the United States. The Germans were also in dire need of steel, and the supply of steel was interrupted for a time, so that the production of lottery ships was halted for a time.

After the vigorous publicity of the relevant personnel, as well as the support of Hirohito and the navy, the Japanese smashed the pot and sold iron and began to produce and manufacture again.

Shadow companies have also secretly opened a passage from the United States.

The Americans have long known about this giant ship, and the Americans, who were originally worried about this battleship, thought about it after careful calculation and analysis. Such a giant ship, even if the combat effectiveness is amazing. But at present, it can bring down the economy of the Japanese. Even if the Americans supported steel, the Japanese would have to put about or even more steel on it, and they would have to take up more money.

The Americans, who did not know for the time being that Japan had plundered and made a lot of money, pinned their hopes on the fact that this huge ship, which might take ten or eight years to build, would drag the Japanese down, and they also made up their minds to take advantage of the fire to loot and seize this warship as a trophy in the future.

As a result, U.S. steel became the main steel consumption in the later stages of the construction of the megaship.

In order to save steel, the Japanese even developed a method of using pumice stone as a base material for shipbuilding.

The Japanese discovered that melted steel or other metals, or even glass, were used to wrap the voids in the outer skin of large pieces of pumice stone to eliminate some of the disadvantages of strong water absorption. Combined with the steel skeleton and skin, it can replace part of the steel armor.

Although the strength of this structure is not very good, it can be compensated for with sufficient thickness. And it just so happened that there was enough space for the arrangement of this new type of composite armor on the ship of the huge lottery that did not pursue leanness.

Pumice that can float directly on the water can reduce weight, and the porous structure can absorb the destructive force on the hull, and there are large resources of this type of pumice in craters in places such as Japan and Indonesia. The Japanese thought they had found an excellent material, and a large selection of high-quality pumice stones were used in this lottery boat, which also made the lottery ship even larger.

This is exactly what the Japanese wanted.

Without radar, this huge warship can be detected early on the sea with only the naked eye.

And even 28 large boilers were used. It is driven by a combination of electric motor and steam turbine, but the maximum speed of this giant ship can only reach 18 knots, and the normal cruising speed can only be barely maintained at 11 knots, which also makes this giant ship unable to be flexible and maneuverable at all.

Unable to maneuver as covertly as an ordinary warship, this giant ship can only rely on its own majesty to intimidate its opponents.

634 meters long. The 91-meter-wide hull, coupled with the 6 triple Type 94 460mm ships on the top, and the attack power of more than 300 carrier-based aircraft, will definitely make anyone who sees this giant ship shudder.

For this reason, Hirohito was afraid to even use his own name or the word emperor. Instead, the word Amaterasu was typed, trying to let Aunt Asumasu bless the stormy Japan a lot.

However, the megaton warship was not so easy to build, and even with the help of the Germans, it was still difficult. In the end, this behemoth can only be called a giant ship or a floating island, and many places do not meet the strict standards of warships.

Even so, the construction of this giant ship from 38 to the present has taken more than 6 years, and even with the secretly ill-intentioned funding of Meng Xiang and the Americans, it is still not fully completed.

The Japanese Navy originally planned to build related facilities, but the plan to station more than 300 carrier-based aircraft has not been implemented.

Life-saving plans such as the Golden Lily and the Golden Chrysanthemum made this giant ship a seed ship on which the Japanese had great hopes.

In the Golden Lily and Golden Chrysanthemum Project, a large amount of wealth and cultural relics looted by the Japanese, even at the expense of collecting local folk wealth and cultural relics, as well as a large number of the latest technology and machinery and equipment developed by the Japanese and obtained by other means, will be collected and sorted out, and hidden separately, which will become the support for Japan's comeback in the future.

Most of the wealth collected from Southeast Asia, except for those that were shipped back to the mainland, was concentrated in the Philippines, where the Japanese had finally evacuated.

The Americans have also heard the rumors and set up special organizations to find them, but there is no clue at all when they are in a hurry.

It is located in a hidden spot on the Japanese mainland, mainly in Nagano Prefecture.

Known as the roof of Japan, this small inland prefecture is far more well hidden in the mountains and mountains than in the coastal areas.

The Japanese consumed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Korean laborers here, built countless fortresses, tunnels and caves, and used them as important defense points, and a large amount of looted wealth, technical materials and advanced equipment were mainly concentrated here. Even the major chaebols secretly buried some of their wealth and concentrated it here, making it a place of revival that Japan had high hopes for.

However, the Japanese did not expect the Huaxia army to take control of the Whale Sea so quickly, and swept through Toyama, Joetsu and other places along the coast of the Whale Sea, and advanced to Ueno.

The Chinese Airborne Forces, with the assistance of the Japanese Red Army, which was rampant in these places, also occupied part of the wealth burial sites.

Even if a large number of remnants of Japanese troops were concentrated in the vicinity, it was difficult to say that they could be kept in the face of the rapid approach of the Chinese army, and even under the continuous bombing and surprise attacks of China, it was difficult to even transfer a large number of troops.

When the navy demanded that the giant ship be put into service early to resist the attack of Huaxia and the Americans, the imminent fall of Nagano and other places and the threat of the vanguard cannon made Hirohito finally make a decision, vetoed the navy's request, and snatched some of the wealth essence from Nagano, and merged it into the Ark Project with this lottery ship as the core.

At this time, in Hirohito's heart, this giant ship was the ark of him and the Japanese imperial family.

He established Akihito's status as the crown prince in advance, and accompanied by his eldest sister, he set sail into the vast Pacific Ocean before the American ** team landed on the Japanese mainland, waiting for an opportunity to sail to India.

In the negotiations between Japan and the United States, it has made concessions step by step, and it is not too much to say that some clauses in the secret treaty say that it is a loss of power and humiliation to the country, but it has not given in the slightest in the withdrawal of troops from India.

Although the Japanese occupied only half of India, the abundance of this part and the obedience of the Indians were enough to make the Japanese ecstatic. While driving the Indian puppet army to continue to advance westward and defend against the attacks of the Chinese and Southeast Asian natives in the east, they also immigrated there in large numbers in an attempt to build the Southern Subcontinent into a new continent for the Japanese.

Many Japanese even had the intention of moving the country to India.

Together with the Japanese troops retreating to India, Japan's population in India has now exceeded 700,000, and if it were not for the blockade of Southeast Asia by China, I am afraid that this number would be even higher.

But that's enough for Hirohito to keep his hands on it. If he has an accident, the crown prince in India can become the new emperor of Japan.

This giant ship, full of all kinds of wealth, is the guarantee of Akihito's future rise and the guarantee of this journey.

Although there is no protection of 300 carrier-based aircraft, there are still 50 elite and ace-driven latest carrier-based aircraft on board; Although the 45 times diameter and 510 mm guns of the oversized battleship have repeatedly had problems, the triple turrets of six Yamato-class battleships have also been urgently installed on the giant ship, and a total of hundreds of 100 mm and 37 mm anti-aircraft guns of various calibers are densely packed in each corner, making this giant ship look hideous.

As a result, the Americans, who had received the news earlier, only paid close attention and did not take any substantive action. But the Chinese who should have been intercepted the most did not move at all, and could not help but make the Japanese who had been on guard on the ship restless.
