What is your install order in JSGME?

When you save games, never overwrite a save slot and never use Autosaves. If you did, then load a past game from open sea, save in a *different* slot, quit and reload the new save. Also you should never save when planes or enemies are nearby, if you did, then do the same steps.

Other possible cause:
You say its' 9/4 but is it 1939 or 1940?

If you are at 9/4/1940 you are pretty at the end of the first chapter which occurs at 11/4/1940, and maybe the transfer to the new chapter (Happy Times) crashes the game. If that's the reason, you have a game version that you didn't patch correctly, so you must repeat all steps. If you play with the newest TWoS this should be easier, so download it if you haven't , and do this:

In JSGME, disable any mods (or if you want to be absolutely safe: de-install everything and start from scratch; your savegames are not touched.)
Check that you have patched SH5 to version 1.2.0 before installing any mods. This patch is surely in the dl section or you can get it easily on the net.
Then, redo the dance of re-installing TWoS. Reload one of your saves where you are in open sea and hopefully you should be fine now and soon see a pop-up screen telling about war results and redirecting you to main menu where you have to chose the 2nd chapter (Happy Times).

Else, if you are in the middle of the 1st chapter (9/4/1939), then I have no idea about the cause.
