It is Kokang and Changchun

　Shinzo Abe, who had just arrived in Nara, was making the final touches on his speech outline, preparing for his street speech in a few days.

　After finishing the outline, he stretched himself. These past few days, Abe had been feeling a sense of unease and pressure. And this unease was more about personal safety.

　"It must be an illusion. Japan is not the United States, where there are shootings every day. Japan can crush the United States in terms of social security." Abe comforted himself and told himself not to think too much.

　While comforting himself, Abe recalled that in February 2015, a female member of parliament reminded him to be careful of terrorist attacks, and he responded with righteous words.

　Finally, he decided to go out for a walk to relax himself.

　"Mr. Driver." Abe walked out of the hotel and said to his driver, "Take me out for a stroll."

　The driver smiled and asked respectfully, "Good afternoon, Mr. Abe, where would you like to go?"

　"Let's take a walk and take a few laps in the suburbs." Abe, who was accustomed to the prosperity of the urban steel jungle, came up with the idea of ​​embracing nature again.

　"たしこまりました (I understand), please fasten your seat belt." The driver politely reminded Abe.

　In this way, the black Honda sedan carrying Abe drove towards the road leading to the suburbs.

　After driving for an unknown amount of time, Abe was attracted by the scenery outside the window and signaled the driver to pull over.

　"Mr. Abe, what's wrong?" asked the driver.

　Abe pointed out the view from the window and said, "Look, this area is covered in bamboo forests. I've seen bamboo before, but never a forest of this size."

　Abe felt very lucky to have seen a scene he had never seen in his life, so he decided to experience it for himself.

　After getting off the car, he asked the driver to stay in the car and walked alone in the sea of ​​bamboo to feel the atmosphere.

　"The breath of nature... the feeling of a bamboo forest is different from that of an ordinary forest..."

　Abe looked at the standing bamboos, then at the mottled light and shadows shining through the bamboo leaves on the ground, and sighed.

　"Huh?" At this moment, Abe caught a glimpse of a small figure out of the corner of his eye. He looked over and found that it was a rabbit.

　He took another closer look and realized something was wrong. "Why is there a carrot-shaped pendant around this rabbit's neck? Is it a human pet? But where are the people around here?"

　Curious Abe approached the rabbit to find out what was going on.

　As a result, Abe had just taken two steps when the rabbit immediately realized something was wrong and ran away.

　"It's so timid, it seems most likely wild. As for why it has the pendant, it might have found it accidentally." Shinzo Abe deduced as he watched the rabbit disappear into the bamboo forest.

　After all, there was a case in real life where a deer somehow got a car tire stuck around its neck and couldn't get it out until it was discovered by a kind-hearted person.

　Abe didn't think too much about it and continued walking in circles in the bamboo forest.

　The white rabbit ran for a long, long time before it stopped.

　At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed the white rabbit with lightning speed and lifted it up.

　"Inaba Tensei! You actually had the nerve to put laxatives in my water bottle yesterday! You can't get away with this now!"

　I saw a purple-haired girl wearing a women's black suit, white shirt, white pleated skirt, and a pair of folded rabbit ears on her head. She was holding up the rabbit and cursing fiercely.

　The rabbit bit the purple-haired girl's hand, and the purple-haired girl subconsciously let go. The rabbit successfully escaped, and then with a "bang" in front of the purple-haired girl, it turned into a bunny-eared lolita wearing a light pink dress.

　Inaba Tenma smiled frivolously and said, "Lingxian, this isn't the first time, don't be so angry all the time, hey~"

　Ling Xian's veins popped up as she angrily shouted, "How can I not be furious with your behavior and attitude?! I'm going to beat your ass to pieces today! Are all you earthly rabbits like this?! If I could return to the moon, would I still be here to put up with your wrath?!"

　……

　"Now, Japan's situation... we should... everyone... the economic revitalization plan... I will ensure... as long as... Japan will get better and better..."

　Just as Shinzo Abe said on his Twitter, he gave a street speech near Yamato-Saidaiji Station on the morning of July 8 as scheduled.

　Tetsuya Yamagami came to the scene of Abe's speech, and slowly and uneasyly approached a distance behind Shinzo Abe, looking for the best time to get into the water.

　After waiting for a while, Yamagami Toru noticed that the security guards were a little tired and relaxed their vigilance. He thought the best time to take action had arrived.

　He raised the shotgun disguised as a digital camera, posed as if taking a photo, and approached Abe's back.

　It was only when Toru Yamagami was more than three meters behind Shinzo Abe that the security personnel discovered something was wrong.

　The security guard behind Abe stepped forward to dissuade Yamagami Tetsuya. "Excuse me, sir. Please keep your distance if you're taking pictures."

　Yamagami Toru saw the security guard was about to persuade him, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation...

　However, the anticipated sound of gunfire echoing through the streets and the smoke from the muzzles of gunfire that Shan had anticipated did not occur. His homemade shotgun had no reaction at all.

　"Why? The gun didn't go off? Why?!" Everyone on the mountain began to get nervous.

　"Sir, please keep your distance when taking photos!"

　The security guard reminded again.

　Yamagami Tetsuya finally reacted. In order to avoid the other party's suspicion, he immediately pretended to smile and said, "Sorry, I like Abe too much. I will step back immediately..."

　As he spoke, Toru Yamagami put down the "camera" in his hand and walked backwards to distance himself from Abe.

　Yamagami Tetsuya was very annoyed at this moment why the gun didn't fire. He tried to pull the trigger several times in Abe's direction, but there was no response.

　"Kuso! You failed at this moment!" Yamagami looked at the gun in his hand unwillingly.

　"Abe, don't think you've escaped this time! I'll be waiting for you at the next speech site!"

　Chapter 174 Wu Runzong, you can’t leave Kiev!

　After the failure of the first siege of Kiev, the Russian officers who commanded the battle reflected deeply and learned lessons. After several months of regrouping, they prepared to attack Kiev again.

　Thanks to the meticulous attention paid to the transportation, concealment, defense, and confidentiality of supplies, coupled with the high-intensity, ultra-low-altitude covert delivery of Milia in her mobile mode, the Russian army had no worries about running out of supplies during the second attack on Kiev. Another factor was the extra care taken in the Kiev area's air defense system.

　When the Second Battle of Kiev broke out, the Russian officers in charge of the command were all sweating, wondering whether they could successfully predict the Ukrainian army's intentions.

　As the battle intensified, the balance of the battle situation tilted towards the Russian army. Russian officers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, proving that most of their predictions were correct.

　During the First Battle of Kiev, the Ukrainian army nearly surrounded the Russian army in the field, which was a great humiliation for the Russian army, which was usually good at field battles. It also gave the Ukrainian army in Kiev more confidence in field battles.

　Therefore, facing the second large-scale offensive of the Russian army, Ukraine chose to take the initiative and fight a field battle with the Russian army.

　But as the battle went on, the Ukrainian commander soon discovered that the IQ of the Russian army on the opposite side had increased a lot, and his side was slightly at a disadvantage.

　The Ukrainian commander was not a fool. Faced with the changes in the Russian army, the Ukrainian commander realized that the Russian army had only used the seventh level of power. If it dragged on, the Russian army would probably launch an all-out attack, and then they would be slowly pushed back.

　After all, the Ukrainian army is not as good as the Russian army in field combat and mobile warfare.

　Therefore, the Ukrainian army prepared to make corresponding adjustments in all aspects. By leveraging its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses, it planned to withdraw from the wilderness to the small towns on the outskirts of Kiev, and, as it had done on the Eastern Front, use its expertise in city defense to crush the Russian army.

　But at this moment, Zelensky stopped the commander in charge of the defense of Kyiv.

　"What's going on? The front line hasn't collapsed, why are we retreating?" Zelensky questioned the Ukrainian commander angrily.

　The Ukrainian commander explained: "The front line did not collapse, but this time we fought much harder than last time."

　Zelensky said disdainfully: "It's not impossible to fight, but it's not impossible to win the battle all the way. You can't fight all the way to the end, right? As long as you can still fight, hold on to it. If you can defeat the Russian army in the field, don't drag it to the outskirts of the city!"

　"Yes, Mr. President," the Ukrainian commander replied. "But I have a suggestion: can we send more troops to Kiev?"

　Zelensky snorted coldly and said, "Another siege on Wei to save Zhao? You want me to be fooled twice? No way. We were trying to retreat to defend the front, but the Russian army broke through a large section of the eastern front.

　Besides, don't you have five brigades around Kiev? Are all five of your brigades deployed to defend the front lines and have no reserves?"

　Ukrainian Army Commander: "There are three brigades in reserve, and two are currently holding the line."

　"It's just two brigades, but they're struggling..." Zelensky thought carefully and suddenly made a decision. "Well, you send the remaining two brigades to fight the Russians, leaving only one brigade in reserve."

　"Ah, this..." The Ukrainian commander was in a dilemma and advised: "We are not as good as the Russian army in field combat. It is really inappropriate to attack rashly like this!"

　Zelensky: "During the first breakout from Kyiv, didn't you fight well in the field? You almost surrounded the Russian army."

　The Ukrainian commander said: "That's because the Russian army underestimated the enemy and was short of supplies. I was able to do this. In terms of the current battlefield situation, I think..."

　Zelensky gestured with his hand, interrupted the Ukrainian commander, stood up and said to him:

　"You should know that offense is the best defense. If we defend the city alone, we will easily lose the initiative. Then, sooner or later, the Russian army will maneuver and infiltrate us to surround and kill us."

　The Ukrainian commander said: "Excuse me for being so presumptuous. I will take a big step back and speak. Even if the Russian army wants to encircle them, it is impossible not to consider that our troops will come to support them, just like the first time."

　"In this case, the Russian army is going to be defeated anyway, so why not take the initiative to attack earlier and strike first?" Zelensky tried to give the Ukrainian commander a reminder.

　In short, the two men's main disagreement was whether to take the initiative to annihilate the Russian army. In the end, Zelensky insisted on his own opinion. There was no other way. The higher-ranking officer had the final say. The Ukrainian commander had no choice but to follow Zelensky's orders and take the initiative to attack.

　After learning about the movements of the Ukrainian troops, the Russian commander attacking Kiev laughed out loud with joy.

　"I don't know what the opposing command is up to, but that's exactly what I want! Pass the order down and prepare the ambush troops to proceed as planned!"

　In order to confuse the Ukrainian army, the Russian army has put in a lot of effort and racked their brains. They have tried every possible way to deceive the Ukrainian army.

　Seeing that the Ukrainian army is making the decision as he had predicted, it would be strange if he was not happy.

　Then, the four Ukrainian brigades, which played into the Russian army's hands, were caught off guard by the ambushed Russian army's light and heavy firepower of various calibers.

　When your weakness happens to be the enemy's strength and you are ambushed, you are bound to suffer heavy losses.

　As soon as the Ukrainian commander learned of the ambush, he immediately ordered the front team to change to the rear team and retreat quickly.

　When the Ukrainian army withdrew from the ambush zone for a distance, the Ukrainian advance troops retreated from the front and received news that there was a large minefield of the Russian army ahead, and some soldiers of the advance troops died due to accidentally stepping on mines.

　When the Russian army ambushed and bombed the Ukrainian army, they specially prepared some mine-laying vehicles and laid a circle of mines several kilometers away from the four Ukrainian brigades on three sides.

　As for why it wasn't surrounded on all four sides, it was because the side left empty was covered by the Russian army's heavy firepower. It seemed to be telling the Ukrainian army: "Run to the other three sides and face mines, or run to the side without mines and face artillery shells and rockets. Which one do you want to choose?"

　The four Ukrainian brigades, worried about both advancing and retreating, immediately decided to risk the Russian army's fire attack and quickly rush out of the Russian army's fire attack area in the direction without mines as quickly as possible.

　Why would the Ukrainian army rather use heavy artillery and rocket launchers than to clear mines and break out? The reason is simple: mine clearance is a tedious process, and during it, the troops' movements are minimal, almost static.

　If enemy artillery happens to be targeting this minefield, the consequences can be imagined. The Ukrainian army is currently facing this embarrassing situation.

　Breaking through a minefield means being hit by both mines and artillery shells, while breaking out in the opposite direction of the minefield only requires taking damage from artillery shells. Essentially, it's like choosing between two rotten peaches to find the less rotten one.

　After going through countless hardships, a small remnant of the Ukrainian army finally broke through. However, the total number of the remnants could not even reach the number of a full-strength Ukrainian brigade.

　It is better to pursue the enemy with your remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant. Naturally, the Russian army did not let the tiger go back to the mountain. Without hesitation, they pursued the remaining Ukrainian troops and eventually captured most of them. The rest were killed because they resolutely refused to surrender.

　The Russian army then rushed to Kyiv without stopping, and encountered the remaining Ukrainian army reserves, so a skirmish broke out on the outskirts of Kyiv. One of the divisions tied down the Ukrainian brigade, while the remaining Russian troops surrounded Kyiv.

　That night, an airborne brigade of the VDV Airborne Army took advantage of the cover of darkness and bloomed parachute flowers in the city of Kiev.

　This airborne brigade was the first to launch a surprise attack on a military airport near Kiev at the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War. They quickly seized the airport and, despite counterattacks from Ukrainian forces that outnumbered them several times, held their ground until rescue efforts arrived.

　Now they will face the Ukrainian Army's filling-line division in Kiev, and see how they can continue their legend. (Steel 4 Skeleton Division vs. Clover Division)

　The VDV's goal is not to directly occupy the entire city of Kyiv, but to attack the presidential palace and capture Zelensky alive.

　The Ukrainian army cannot watch its capital fall into the hands of the Russian army. The troops as close to Kiev as possible are marching back to defend Kiev at the fastest speed.

　When Zelensky received the news that the VDV airborne troops had parachuted into Kiev, he was so scared that he collapsed in his chair.

　Chapter 175: The leader was captured and the squid surrendered.

　VDV paratroopers slowly marched onto the streets and squares of Kyiv, accompanied by the shrill sound of air raid sirens.

　Not only soldiers landed, but also various cutting-edge vehicles, such as BMP4, T-90AM, Boomerang eight-wheeled tanks, etc., which made the friendly forces outside Kiev jealous.

　Every VDV soldier was determined to win the battle for Kiev. They were all eager to fight and determined to capture Zelensky alive. You know, they had done a lot of special training in street fighting in the past few months, just for this day.

　After landing, the VDV Airborne Corps Command conveyed various matters to the troops airborne into Kiev:

　"All soldiers, upon landing, immediately discard your parachute packs! Troops landing in the city center deploy into an assault formation and close the encirclement around the Presidential Palace as quickly as possible to buy time for subsequent paratroopers to land!

　Second, although we will inevitably encounter stubborn resistance from the Kiev garrison, don't worry, our mission is to buy time for the headhunting operation!

　Third, even though it's midnight and there are almost no civilians on the streets, everyone must be careful not to accidentally injure any civilians! We are liberators! Not those Ukrainian idiots!

　After listening to what the headquarters said, many VDV soldiers on the front line felt a little confused and very strange.

　In a BMP-4 infantry fighting vehicle, the driver and co-driver were discussing the doubts about the communication from headquarters.

　The driver said: "According to known intelligence, the five elite Ukrainian brigades outside Kiev have been almost completely wiped out, and only the newly trained garrison troops remain in the city.

　"We're told to rush into the Presidential Palace as quickly as possible, but then we're told to buy time... Isn't that a bit contradictory? If we can rush into the Presidential Palace as quickly as possible, why delay? Since this is a surprise attack, speed is everything."

　The co-pilot was also thinking about this contradiction. After a while, he said: "I think this may be divided into two situations. If the Kiev defenders are loyal to the military, then we can push forward quickly. If they are not loyal to the military,

　Using residential buildings as bunkers and fortresses requires careful consideration and a change in the battle plan."

　"No matter how it changes, speed is the most important thing. And... delaying time for the headhunting operation... Aren't we headhunting? Are we delaying time for ourselves?" The driver was puzzled.
