Episode 12

And named it Qiusan Restaurant

He graduated from the Military Academy in the late Qing Dynasty

He even worked as Zhang Zhidong's adviser

His family name is Liu, you were saying?

Why it's Qiusan if his last name isn't Qiu?

He's a native of Sichuan

They call serving soldiers "Qiuba"

and the discharged ones "Qiusan"

I see why he named the restaurant Qiusan

I have a gift for you

What is it?

Open it

m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78 It's gorgeous

Am I holding it properly?

Perfect

I also want to find out

when I was trained to do such things

General Liang called in advance

to reserve two serves of chicken soup noodles

We only have 40 serves every day

so it's a limited menu

The guests must make a reservation if they want some

Really?

Of course

General Liang is very familiar with our place m 0 0 l 2034 0 2034 78 0 78

I shall not take up your time

Please enjoy the food

Thank you

It looks so delicious

There are side dishes

You can try some

Thank you

It's really good

He Meihui

General Liang, I knew you invited me

to have the chicken soup noodle

because you want to confirm something

I have a question

If you manage to verify

whatever it is that you're trying to confirm

will it be a good thing

or a bad thing?

It's hard to say

If it turns out to be a bad thing

are you going to lose

everything you have?

It's a possibility

If that's the case

what gives you the guts to take the risk?

Warmth

Unforgettable warmth

I lost memories of my past

and I can't retrieve them

I can't remember anything

no matter how hard I try

Sometimes, losing a memory

is more miserable

and distressing

than having a bad memory

You are alert

Keep up the good work

and make sure General Liang is safe

Yes, sir

It's wartime

Anything could happen

Losing memories that tormented you

is probably a good thing

The wind has changed on the battlefield

The Soviet Red Army

will invade Northeast China on August 10th

That's the deadline

The U.S. is likely to put pressure

on the Japanese government before that day

The overwhelming voice in the U.S.

is against the Soviet Union invading Northeast China

because they want to be in control

of China's future directions

in order to secure the United States' interests in China

Northeast China will be at the center of competing forces

The U.S. claimed they had a major deterrent

But I can't figure out

what kind of power

could it be

Anyway

it's a crucial intelligence

for China's battlefield

The U.S. Embassy

seems to have some information on that

but I'm not sure yet

I'll contact you immediately

once I put my hands on more details

I don't know

why I'm telling you this

Liang Tong reckons this intelligence is crucial

He decides to report it immediately

Maybe it's because you are a Chinese

In London

in Calcutta

at this place

or in the future

I believe

you will always be a Chinese

Maybe it's because you are a Chinese

In London

in Calcutta

at this place

or in the future

I believe

you will always be a Chinese

China

I will do everything I can to make you great again

June 1945 Battle of West Hunan came to an end

Here

Take a look

Unconditional surrender

Garrison plan of the National Revolutionary Army

Check who wrote this

Yours Sincerely, Liu Feiyun August 10th

Liu Feiyun

The brain of the Guangxi Clique

The troops should accept…

Minister

judging from the contents

the plan does provide

a rapid and economical solution

Liang Tong

you should've known politics better

Li Tsung Jen and Bai Chongxi of the Guangxi Clique

asked Liu Feiyun to come up with this seemingly reasonable plan

but they are actually

trying to get more land from the central government

For these people

land means money

If we let them have it

the Central Committee's authority will be undercut

and no one will take our orders seriously

We can't afford another Northern Expedition

I understand your worries

The country is too indigent and weak

to go through more disarray

We must do everything to avoid a civil war

so the country doesn't fall into pieces controlled by cliques

New cliques are emerging

Li Tsung Jen and Bai Chongxi want a piece

Their disrespect for Mr. Chiang is growing

Post-war recovery

requires centralized control by the military

Liang Tong

Chairman has approved your

post-war National Army garrison plan

Once the war against the Japanese comes to an end

fighting the communists and emerging warlords become our priorities

Yes, sir

After the war, Military Commission

will be reorganized into the Ministry of National Defense

I'll transfer you to work there

Your main responsibility is dealing with emerging warlords

Yes, sir

Liang Tong is aware

Chen Cheng's arrangement regarding his job transference

is not only Chen's decision

but also the opinion coming from KMT's top

As long as he can tread carefully and play safe

until the war of resistance ends

he will achieve the goal

of securing a decision-making role in KMT

This is the toughest time

He can't afford the slightest mistake

They're waiting for us

Mengxiang

Guangxi

You kept us waiting

Mr. Wu

Zhuping, you never missed a good meal

It's called lucky

I just got off the plane, and Guangxi invited me to join them for dinner

OK

The dumplings look delicious

Time for dinner

You fought an amazing battle

I wouldn't be here if I had lost it

Let's go

Cheers

The dumplings are here

The dumplings are here

Make some space

Pang Zhuping

this is Hu Ziqi

commander of the 18th Corps

This is Pang

We've met. We even had dinner once

You don't remember?

Pang Zhuping

he was also there when we had dinner together

Was I?

Guangxi is playing dumb

It's his thing

I'm not playing. I am dumb

Have a drink then

It can cure you

Drink

Three shots

Does the dumb one have to drink an extra shot?

I think you're messing with me

Mengxiang

I need to ask you something that

Liang Tong trusted me with

I have given you the files

How's it going with Zhou Yingkui's release?

Right

How's it going?

It's tricky

How?

Pay the fines

The thing is

the treasury is going through tough times

The government is trying to get money

So, I devised a plan

and Commandant has approved it

The prisons are overcrowded

Many people locked up in there

should've had a lighter sentence

Some of them are quite rich

so I figured

they could put their hands on some money through fines

That way, we can alleviate prison overcrowding

It's a good idea to make money

Mengxiang

I didn't know you have a business mind

It wasn't part of my plan at first

It's the last resort

If you want Zhou Yingkui out

his name must be on the list

Good idea

It's going to work

OK

If Mr. Zhou is OK with this solution

he should have the money prepared

We'll release a batch of prisoners in a few days

If he misses it, he'll have to wait for the next batch

OK. I'll donate some

You can chip in

As long as it can be solved with money

it's no big deal

Right

I have some at home

I'll send it to you later

Count me in

I'll give it to you later

I'll try to keep the fine amount minimum

As long as we can get him out, it'll be worth it

Come on

Drink up

Cheers

Thank you guys

You still owe us two shots

Are you keeping a record?

You're unbelievable

I heard Mr. Shi is back. Where is he?

He's been talking about you

When he got back to Chongqing, he was going to invite you to dinner

But something came up

He went back to the U.S.

Nazi Germany surrendered

Decisions at the Yalta Conference

gave us the short end of the stick

There are mixed voices in the US

Mr. Shi put quite some efforts

into the Yalta Conference

The war is coming to an end

Do you know what's next?

Allocation

Allocation of interests

Many people are trying to grab a piece

We must also plan for the future

It's inevitable

I don't care about that

I can always go home and be a farmer

I'll grow my own food and live a peaceful life with my family

That's a hermit's dream

It's difficult to live a peaceful life at this time

After the war of resistance, turbulence will persist

You won't be able to step aside

Japanese are all gone

What makes you think it'll stay turbulent?

They are gone

but that's not the whole story

It doesn't mean the world will return to peace

I don't care about the allocation of interests

It's the business of people in high positions

I only want to do my job properly, so I don't regret anything

You're being naive

If you want to survive, you need power

Assemble a troop of yourself

when the time is right

These years

a troop controlled by yourself

is a great treasure and guarantee of future

for a military officer

At least you get some protection from it

Will you judge me for what I said?

It's pragmatic

You said that because you see me as a bosom friend

You are a smart person

I'll do anything

to get Mr. Zhou out

I know

It'll be a good thing

When Zhou Yingkui gets out

he can assemble a troop

and they'll work for you as well

I don't need that

I have to deal with those emerging warlords for Minister Chen

I'll tell you the truth

I also want to go to the battlefield

Really?

When it happens

I trust you won't get in my way

I think you're much better than being

a corps commander

You don't know

Corps commander is a dream

If I were a division commander

I would have paid Zhou Yingkui's fines for you

What are you guys doing here?

Where are they?

Drunk

OK. They can stay here

You can go home, and I'll clean up

Let's go. I'm feeling tipsy, too

Mengxiang, bye

How was your date

with Melanie?

Did you find anything?

She confirmed her amnesia

I'll find a good doctor

You have to make sure

she receives the treatment

You never made things easy for me

One more thing

She told me

a very important news

What's that?

The U.S. Is probably in possession of

a very powerful new weapon

Really?

It's not confirmed yet

If she was telling the truth

we could really use

her help

Do you really think so?

It's been on my mind for a while

but I have to

look into her

I have to know

which side she is taking

You look into everybody

You are from Nanjing?

Is everything OK?

Did your family get out?

The Japanese killed so many people there

My parents wouldn't leave

and I've never heard from them ever since

Mr. Zhao, maybe your guys in Nanjing

can help search for her family?

Miss Yang

I have an idea

Give me your family's information

I'll make some calls

and see if I can help with that

Is that going to work?

I can at least try

Great

Listen

You tricked me today

You are still sober

I didn't trick anyone

I just don't get drunk easily

Duh

You're getting old

-Duh. -Old people get drunk easily

Keep telling me that

and see if I'll buy your crap

You're good

How about we have another round?

I can't do that to you

You're too drunk now

Too drunk

Mr. Feng

get Minister Zeng in there

We are not done yet

Come inside

I'll give you some money for the fine

I'm not falling for your trick

Just go inside

I'll take care of the fine

I'll ask you when I can't handle it

Get him inside

Y-you should c-come in, and w-we can drink…

Just go in there

I'll see you entering the door

I won't allow it

I'll see you off

Goodbye

Bye bye

I'm not drunk

Where is my mother?

She is in bed

She made dumplings for a day

Mrs. Zeng is with her

Is everything all right at home?

Mr. Pi has been here for some time

He's waiting for you in the study

I'll check on my mother first

She's asleep

I'm wide awake!

I thought you were asleep

You're still up, mom

You looked like asleep

You're still up

Did you enjoy Tong's dumplings?

Yes, they were so delicious

Tong said he missed your dumplings

He's going to come and see you

There's nothing to see

I'm in terrible condition

What makes you think so?

You're fine, mom

You're in terrific condition!

Just take the medicine

When you get better

we'll go back to Shenyang

Will I still be alive

when that day comes?

Of course

It's soon

If you're telling the truth

I'll be able to sleep well tonight

Rest assured and have a good sleep

Rest

Mr. Pi is here. I'll go meet him

Mr. Pi

Minister Lu

Take a seat

After you

Mr. Pi, I'm so sorry

to call you so late at night

It's fine

Is it because of your mother's condition?

Mr. Pi

what is her disease?

How come it's not getting better?

Minister Zeng

I'll tell you the truth

She is having

mental health problems

Traditional Chinese medicine

and Western medicine

don't have very effective methods

of curing such diseases

Some patients can be cured

but some

can not be cured

Mr. Pi, this is a token of my gratitude

Minister, I'm not trying to…

It's not why I came here

I know that

You're my only hope now

Please try to help her

I need to ask you another favor

Minister, it's no big deal

Please go ahead

Mr. Pi

can you treat amnesia?

Amnesia?

It depends on what the cause is

I'll have to figure that out later

I want to know

can someone

fake amnesia?

Can you tell

if a person really has amnesia

or it's

actually faked?

That's my question

Who on earth will fake amnesia?

It doesn't matter. Can you tell it?

I'm not sure

Have you ever treated patients with amnesia?

No, I have not

but I know someone

who used to be my classmate

Maybe he has a way

Great

Could you please introduce him to me?

No problem

But the thing is

he is no regular character

I'm afraid you have to pay him a visit

No problem. I'll go myself

Where does he live?

It happens that

I am supposed to meet him tomorrow

Excellent

Could you arrange a meeting

if that's OK?

Sure

After all, you are a big shot

Shouren, have some rest

Is there anything wrong?

All good, General

I've been too tense

The alley is too narrow

The car can't come in

so every time I sent you home

I feel like danger might creep in

Thank you for your work

It's fine

Have some rest, General

Xiugu

What are you doing here?

The floor is cold

How's it going with my father?

We're making progress

Really?

You'll need to pay the fine

How much?

It's not determined yet

We are

all trying to get the money

Suya is also trying

But I think the money

won't do much good

I'll figure out other ways

Money is insignificant compared to life

The pipe of yours

is made of gold, right?

I think you'll have to pawn it

No way

It's a family heirloom

Nice thing

Is it like, more than 500 years old?

It looks like Monkey King's weapon

You're right

It was used to discipline people

If anyone breaks the rules

I'll punish him with the pipe

You almost hit me

Thank god I'm agile enough to dodge that

Miss Yang

Suya

What are you doing?

She was punishing me with the pipe

Xiugu, you paid a lot for the daily expenses

Here's some of it

It's OK

The family is counting on it

We should do something for your father

Take it

I'll figure out something for the family expenses

Just take it

You need it now

I was going to go home earlier

I got your call

so I borrowed some money from my colleagues

I can borrow more if that's not enough

It's OK

I'm indebted to you

You've done enough for me

Don't be embarrassed

When I get my paycheck

I'll fill the hole

Getting your father out is the top priority

Are the children asleep?

They played for a while and went to bed

They are good kids

Little Stone is a good elder brother

He takes good care of Little Lan

They are always fighting when I'm around

Maybe it's better when I leave them alone

Right

He was watching Little Lan doing homework

Are you tired?

No

You can focus on your job

If there's any activity, just go

Don't worry about things at home

I'll take care of the kids

I don't have much to do anyway

When Mr. Zhou gets out

you'll be busy again

It's quite late

Time to sleep

Don't worry too much about your father

We will get him out

Go back to your rooms and have some sleep

Are you sure Chief asked us to leave it alone?

They look suspicious

We should be careful

Who are they working for?

Just keep an eye on him

Speak

Send him in

Luo Haobin finally comes to the Armaments Department for business

Liang Tong has been looking forward to the meeting

Armaments Department is now the safest place

to meet Luo Haobin

Please come in

Mr. Luo is here

This way

Mr. Luo

General Liang, it's been a long time

You should've come sooner

The department is not very convenient

to pay a visit to

It's a major decision

for me to come here

Please don't say that

Minister Zeng's friend is our friend

Please have some tea

Business is tough these days

Is it a safe place to have a conversation?

Yes. It's not tapped

I wanted to come here sooner

but something came up

One more car is tailing you

I noticed

I have been followed

We looked into them

They work for No. 76

No. 76?

Yes

Are you sure?

Yes

They're intelligence agents

They even have a radio system

What does No. 76 want?

Does it have something to do with BIS?

We don't know yet

If we can't figure out

I can catch them

and interrogate

It's too risky

If anything goes wrong

things will get tricky

Leave it to me

Now that we have founded a business connection

we can meet

but we must be careful with Zeng Guangxi

We can't meet too often

Check out this film roll

It's not easy to obtain

Try to get me some more

The NRA's garrison plan

is in the films

They are important

but I can't give them to you now

The archive keeps a log of it

The number is recorded

I'll find some to replace this one

We must be prepared

for NRA's post-war deployment

If we lose the advantage

it'll put us in a vulnerable position

OK

My superiors had wanted to meet you

I'll arrange a meeting as soon as possible

Zeng Guangxi

probably knows as much as we do

about Melanie

He even has people

keeping an eye on her

We must

deal with this problem immediately

Zeng already established a link

between Melanie and He Meihui

I'm already on it

What's your plan?

Melanie admitted she had amnesia

Are you sure she's not faking it?

If she fakes it

it'll be a good thing for me

but I think

she really has amnesia

and the most important missing part

is me

If you manage to verify

whatever it is you're trying to confirm

will it be a good thing

or a bad thing?

Testing her like that

is a bit too risky, right?

I know that

but Zeng is already suspecting it

I can't stop him

I don't know what he's got

All I can do is

to be there with Melanie

when she recovers her memories

We are not doctors

Even if we were doctors

we couldn't be sure about things like that

Doctors can't change a person's standing

and they can't solve emotional problems

I don't have a choice now

I must confront Zeng Guangxi

on the battlefield the Party entrusts me with

Of course, you have choices

You're not fighting this war alone

You must have confidence in the organization

Chen Cheng already talked to me

After the war of resistance

I'll be transferred to the Ministry of National Defense

to work as his deputy

According to the regulations

Zeng Guangxi will be able to do my background check

I can't hide from him

I see

Is there anything I can do?

Zhou Yingkui

Getting out of prison

will cost him everything

I hope

the organization can provide some financial aid

so he can start again

I'll report that as soon as possible

But can you tell me the reason?

Zhou Yingkui

will be my other battlefield

General Zhou

Speak

Someone is here to pick you up

You're free to go

Pack your things

What did you say?

I said you can go now

Someone is here to take you home

OK

Are these all the deceased soldiers from Mount Xuefeng?

Yes

I have arranged to send them back to Japan

At the talks

I was going to object to Operation Gyokusai

I feel sorry for the late soldiers

We lost airspace advantage

Victory is impossible

It's much worse than losing the war

The Empire of Japan's destiny

is in the hands of the Allies

Talks with China

have failed

There are 1.2 million Japanese soldiers

left in China

Please think of them when you make a decision

I'll dismiss myself

Chongqing Second Prison

Are you sure it's this gate?

Don't worry. It is

I thought it was going to be more difficult

Mengxiang helped a lot

He put Mr. Zhou's name on the list

Chairman just signed the file without taking a look

What if he changes his mind?

Don't worry

He'll look the other way with this business

That won't happen

This is the only time

I'm not disappointed

Xiugu!

Dad!

I miss you so much

We can continue this at home

Little Tong

Mr. Zhou, let's go home

Give it to me

Let's go

Put this on

Miss Yang, you can take care of the kids

I'll do the cooking

I'll do it

They're doing homework

You should be with your father

You must miss him so much

Just go

Tong, why don't you go and chat with my dad

Miss Yang and I will take it from here

Xiugu

it's a rare thing to see him in the kitchen

He learned a new recipe

Give him a chance to cook for us

What's the dish?

Bombing Tokyo

What's that?

Crispy rice with pork toppings

Why is it called that?

The name is so confusing!

The crispy rice

is like buildings in Japan

This one is the arsenal

This is the ammo depot

I'll heat some oil

and add the condiments of Sichuan

Boom

Pour the toppings on the crispy rice

It's like we're bombing Tokyo

They bombed Chongqing, and now they're paying for it!

Nice

We'll wait for your… What's the name again?

Bombing Tokyo

Bombing Tokyo

Bombing Tokyo

Go, Xiugu

Just go out and wait

Dinner will be ready in a moment

Go

You don't see things at home

Xiugu

is really helpful

She can take care of everything at home

She really is a huge help

Are you still attending the book club?

Yes

Maybe you should read fewer books

with communist ideas

They might get you in trouble
