Sky Curtain: My Great Qin must have an aircraft carrier!

Chapter 24 Old Chiang: There must be a mole inside; I need to personally micromanage.

During this period, language and writing reforms were extremely chaotic, and people were eager for change to make the country stronger.

Amidst this chaos, we can already see the dawn approaching.

First, the language authority established based on the Beijing dialect has become a consensus, and it will also become the foundation of modern Standard Mandarin in the future.

Having gone through a series of developments including Zhuyin Fuhao, Wade-Giles, and Mandarin Romanization, the path for modern Pinyin has been paved.

In 1949, the new China was founded, and the teachers ultimately chose the Latin alphabet as the official phonetic alphabet.

As Tianmu's voice faded, the entire land of China fell silent.

The Nationalist generals looked at each other in bewilderment; the meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The sky was talking about pinyin, so how did it suddenly reveal the ending?

Clearly, in the end, it was the new China, not the new Republic of China.

Nobody's a fool. The top position in the Republic of China was held by the Chairman of the National Assembly. It was not anyone else's place to set the official spelling.

The only explanation is that the country has changed hands.

A lieutenant general slammed his cap on the table, rubbing the back of his head in frustration. "How could our millions of troops, equipped with American weapons, lose to those bandits hiding in the mountains?"

The group exchanged glances, their eyes lowered, and remained silent.

The National Revolutionary Army was rotten to the core, plagued by ghost employees, reselling military supplies, and factional infighting.

If this war really breaks out, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

In the silence, someone suddenly spoke up: "Now that the heavens have revealed the outcome, shouldn't we start making plans?"

"Don't we have any idea how badly the Henan-Hunan-Guangxi war went?"

The lieutenant general's gaze swept over the crowd, but he couldn't tell who had said it, so he could only suppress his anger.

"Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity; we might not even lose."

No one wanted to break through that barrier.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and everyone present had their own thoughts.

Anyway, the Nationalist army's ship is going to sink sooner or later, so who would want to go down with it?

In stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, cheers erupted outside the cave dwellings in Yan'an, reaching for the sky.

"We won! We really won!"

The young soldiers threw their hats high into the air, and some hugged each other, jumping and hopping.

They climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, ate tree bark and chewed grass roots, and countless comrades fell on the road. Now they finally saw the dawn of hope.

The instructor looked out the window at the jubilant crowd, a gentle light shining in his eyes.

"The comrades are happy, but Chiang Kai-shek's side is probably going to be furious."

He sat down in the old rattan chair, took out a cigarette, lit it, and wore a casual smile.

The cadres in the room smiled knowingly, tidied up the documents on the table, and made room for them.

General Zhu picked up the rough porcelain teacup, his expression relatively calm.

"The Japanese are now in complete defeat, and there will likely be another tough battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party."

"That's natural."

The instructor exhaled a puff of smoke. "If it weren't for the foreign invasion, we wouldn't have settled our score with the reactionaries yet."

"But the sky screen is visible to everyone in the world, so Chiang Kai-shek would naturally know about it too."

The people present were not surprised, but they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

We are sure we will win; Tianmu doesn't lie.

However, the heavens will not reveal the process, and since Chiang Kai-shek knew the outcome, he would inevitably make targeted arrangements.

How this battle will be fought, and whether it will still match the original history, are all unknowns.

The instructor's gaze swept over the crowd, and he asked with a smile, "Let me ask you all, do you have confidence in the battle that's about to be fought?"

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices booming.

"It's good that it's there. The sky shows us the destination, but we still have to take it one step at a time."

"If you step into an empty space, you'll still fall."

Everyone stopped smiling and responded in unison.

The instructor walked to the table, spread the world map out on it, pointed to the north, and then pointed to the other side of the ocean.

"The Sky Canopy is a double-edged sword. It will make us a target of public criticism, but it also has many advantages. The whole world will re-evaluate us."

"Since we'll be in charge in the future, why not make some friends beforehand and explore the possibilities?"

"We can't wait until the country is founded and still not be able to find a diplomatic channel."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, at his official residence in Huangshan, Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek flew into a rage and threw his teacup away.

When the fourth dish was served, the head guard specially replaced it with an iron one.

"Damn it! Ridiculous! This is utterly ridiculous!"

Jiang Guangtou, leaning on his cane, pointed at the sky and cursed, "I have elite German-equipped divisions, American planes and artillery, and the support of the four major families. How could I lose to a bunch of peasants?"

"This canopy must be a fabrication by the Red bandits to mislead the public!"

The high-ranking officials standing nearby were terrified and dared not even breathe.

After venting his anger, Jiang Guangtou slumped onto the sofa, his eyes filled with an uncertain expression.

Since the Heavenly Curtain can reveal so many secret histories of the previous dynasties and even predict the future, it is beyond human capability.

In other words, this result must be true...

But how could that be? How could I possibly lose?

If a battle that shouldn't have been lost was lost, where did the problem lie?

"A mole."

Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth, his eyes growing increasingly fierce with each thought. "There must be a traitor among the high-ranking officials of the Party and the State! Otherwise, how could we have suffered such a crushing defeat when we had the upper hand?"

Dai Li bowed respectfully: "Chairman, I will investigate immediately."

"Investigate them! Don't let a single one escape!"

Jiang Guangtou was furious. His cold gaze swept over everyone present like a venomous snake, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Now that we know there's a mole within the ranks, none of these generals can be trusted!

"After we deal with the Japanese invaders, I will personally command the anti-bandit campaign. Only by personally micromanaging the situation can we ensure that everything goes smoothly."

The generals present twitched their eyelids after hearing this.

It's over, the Nationalist army is really doomed this time.

Chinese civilization has struggled for over a thousand years, evolving from fanqie (a method of indicating pronunciation) to Zhuyin (another method of indicating pronunciation), and finally to modern Pinyin.

It combines the wisdom of our predecessors with the essence of modern linguistics.

Amidst unprecedented global changes, Han culture did not perish; instead, it was reborn.

Ancient civilizations, carrying thousands of years of historical accumulation, use Chinese characters to carry traditions and connect the world through pinyin.

(Greatness needs no further explanation)

(Pinyin is not perfect, but its mission is to eliminate illiteracy, and it has undoubtedly succeeded in this regard.)

(Choosing the Latin alphabet was the best decision; China seamlessly integrates into the information age and is backward compatible with the English keyboard.)

(Why didn't you say so sooner? I just realized that there seems to be no Chinese keyboard in the world.)

(Research shows that the order of Chinese characters does not necessarily affect reading comprehension. For example, you may find that all the characters in this sentence are jumbled up after you have finished reading it.)

(Chinese characters were indeed inconvenient in the past, but in the AI ​​era, what should you call me?)

(Oh my god, it's Chinese characters! We're saved!)

Lu Li lay on the bed, watching the comments on the video, and chuckled along.

"Wow, I didn't even realize it until you told me. This keyboard is based on international standards."

"Those who promoted the pinyin system back then should be able to rest in peace now that Chinese characters not only maintain their independence but are also perfectly compatible with everything in the Latin alphabet."
