The plot of the Archimedean War
In 1933 (Showa 8), the contradictions between Japan and the European and American powers intensified, and they began to embark on the road of military expansion. The Ministry of the Navy secretly plans to build the world's largest warship. However, the province is not monolithic, and there are people who oppose this plan. Rear Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto believed that in future naval battles, aircraft were the mainstream, and that building giant warships was a waste of the national budget, and he wanted to recalculate the battleship quotations himself, but all the information about battleships was tightly hidden by the "shipbuilders". More importantly, there are no competent people in the military department to help. As a result, Yamamoto took a fancy to the once-in-a-century genius mathematician Kanae nao of Tokyo Imperial University. He loves math, hates the military, and doesn't know how to be flexible. He stubbornly refused Yamamoto, but Yamamoto's astonishing words touched him- "If a giant warship is built, Japan, which is too confident in its own strength, will definitely go to war." Because of this sentence, He was determined to enter the huge power center of the Imperial Navy alone. Genius mathematician vs Navy, an unprecedented battle of minds began. In the midst of pressure and obstacles, Kana discovers the contradiction between huge investments, construction costs and quotations, and gradually approaches the secret of the giant battleship. The name of that battleship was Yamato.
