It is Kokang and Changchun

　There were dozens of unopened boxes of MREs and military canned food in the cabin, with all kinds of flavors and sizes.

　Looking at these foods, Qiye lost her usual relaxed expression and was only filled with anxiety. She was thinking about how to deal with these military rations and hide them.

　Why are companies hiding? Because a British warship is coming to the port today on a friendly visit.

　The Enterprise did not receive any prior notice of this, and not only the Enterprise, but all the ship girls did not receive any notice either.

　It wasn't until the warship was almost entering the port that Enterprise discovered it with the naked eye.

　"Strange... When did Belfast come? This is the West Coast. If it's just a friendly visit, it's too far, right?" Enterprise was completely confused.

　Enterprise thought of a slightly probable possibility. "Wait, could she be... coming specifically to see me?"

　It's better to be safe than sorry. Enterprise flashed back to his main body, and the scene in the previous paragraphs happened.

　Enterprise transferred dozens of boxes of military rations to a hidden cabin on the bottom floor of the main body.

　"It should be fine now. I don't believe that Befa can find this place." Enterprise was confident about the current hiding place of the military rations.

　After hiding the military rations, Enterprise left the main body to meet Belfast.

　After the welcoming ceremony and greetings, Belfast looked around at a certain majestic Ford-class aircraft carrier and said:

　"Your country's aircraft carrier is truly breathtaking. I wonder if Your Excellency Enterprise would allow me to admire this magnificent piece of modern craft?"

　Belfast's praise of the company made the company feel a little embarrassed. It smiled and nodded: "Of course."

　Of course, Enterprise was well aware that Belfast's motives were definitely not pure, and her real purpose was to search for military rations.

　But Enterprise wasn't worried. She thought to herself, "Search, go ahead. My body has over 2600 compartments. Can you find them all?"

　Enterprise then led Belfast to the main deck and gave her a brief introduction to the F/A-18E and F-35C multi-role fighter jets and the electromagnetic catapult on the deck.

　After touring the deck, Enterprise and Befa walked towards the island.

　Ye is ready to show Befa around the cabin.

　"Hello? Sister Enterprise. The commander asked you to come to the office. Sister Yorktown and I are here, and we need you to come over to check something..." Bumblebee's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel.

　Enterprise immediately responded, "I see... Yes, I'll be right there."

　"I'm sorry, Belfast. The commander needs me to deal with something, so I may have to leave for a while." Enterprise apologized to Belfast regretfully.

　"You can take a look for yourself first, I'll be back soon." After saying this, Enterprise turned around and said goodbye to Belfast, ran to the side near the shore, and jumped directly from the deck.

　Belfast looked at Enterprise's dashing back and praised, "You truly are America's most powerful aircraft carrier... Okay, time to get down to business."

　At this time, the door of a room in the company opened, and a young female officer with a medical crutch came out.

　"Oh, hello, are you Belfast?" The female officer greeted Belfast as she saw him as soon as she went out.

　Belfast turned around, saw the female officer, and asked, "Yes, you are...?"

　"My name is Crownpeace Green, and I'm the captain of the Enterprise."

　"So the Enterprise is the captain. Hello, Miss Green." Befa saluted and then did a skirt-lifting salute.

　(PS: In Belgian salute customs, when the person is a soldier, it is a military salute with a skirt-lifting salute; when the person is not a soldier, it is a simple skirt-lifting salute.)

　"Excuse me, but what happened to your foot?"

　Belfast turned his gaze to Crownpeace's feet, which were covered with a brace.

　Crownpeace felt a little ashamed and said, "I fell during training a few days ago and have a mild fracture."

　"Please take care of yourself and I wish you a speedy recovery." A burst of polite concern.

　"By the way, Miss Belfast, are you here to confiscate the company's military rations?" Crownpeace asked directly.

　This remark aroused Belfast's vigilance. Belfast thought that as Crownpeace was the captain of the Enterprise, the two of them would probably be on good terms with each other.

　"Don't be nervous. I'm also against companies relying on military rations for their livelihood." Crownpeace said that he and the companies are not on the same side in this regard.

　Crownpeace's inner thoughts: "I've watched both Azure animes five or six times, and I still don't understand what you're trying to do by looking for a company?"

　"Great! I thought you also supported companies eating military rations. Do you know where the military rations are hidden?"

　Crownpeace smiled wickedly and said, "You've asked the right person, Miss Light Cruiser."

　Then Piss revealed to Belfast where the Enterprise hid the military rations.

　(Crownpeace: Miss HMS Belfast, this way~)

　Because the company was overconfident in itself and it was not a time-consuming task, the company did not focus on the main purpose at all during this period.

　Thus, Enterprise was completely unaware that he had been betrayed by the Captain...

　Half an hour later, Enterprise finished its business and returned to the main building, back to the corridor where it had just said goodbye to Belfast.

　"Belfast, I've finished my work. Next I'll take you..." Enterprise was about to take Belfast to continue the tour, but he was interrupted by Belfast.

　"Ms. Enterprise, have you always maintained such a bad habit?" Belfast's question was loud and clear.

　Enterprise was stunned. "What? Belfast, what are you talking about?"

　"Do you want to continue loading?" Belfast waved his hand and a box of MREs appeared beside him, just like placing blocks in MC.

　When Enterprise saw this, she immediately lost her composure. "Oh no! How could this happen..." She swallowed hard, sweat starting to form on her forehead.

　"What about the rest..." Enterprise was just about to check how much was left in his original body, but Befa saw through Enterprise's thoughts at a glance.

　"Ms. Enterprise, there's no need to look for it. All your rations are with me." Befa said this in the most ordinary tone, which was a huge blow to Enterprise.

　"You..." Enterprise didn't know what to say about the confiscation of Beifa.

　"Don't bother me. I eat whatever I want. My free will must not be violated!" Enterprise said to Befa seriously.

　[Washington, waiting to appear in the audience: Are you there? Enterprise, please pay the copyright fee for my lines, thank you.]

　Beifa smiled slightly and promised, "Okay, Miss Enterprise, I respect your freedom."

　As he spoke, there was a burst of blue light, and a box of military rations appeared in Beifa's hand. Beifa walked forward and intended to hand it to Enterprise.

　Just as Enterprise was about to take the box, Befa grabbed Enterprise's tie with his other hand at lightning speed and pulled Enterprise in front of him face to face, and the box was taken back by Befa.

　"Wait..." Enterprise realized that she had fallen into a trap. As someone who had watched anime, she naturally knew what Befa was going to do next.

　The unwilling Enterprise grabbed Belfa's arm and tried to break free, but found that Belfa's arm did not move at all.

　"How is this possible? It's clearly just a light cruiser..." Enterprise was puzzled by the current situation.

　She tried to flash free, but couldn't.

　"What the hell is going on?!" Our company is currently in a state of confusion.

　Beifa was also surprised that Enterprise could not break free of him. Beifa, feeling lucky, shrugged.

　He shrugged, pulled Enterprise's tie and dragged her step by step towards the public cafeteria in the port area.

　"Hey...wait...what are you doing?...Don't...let go...stop it! Hey, are you listening to me..."

　When being dragged to the cafeteria, Enterprise kept shouting words like these, trying to make Befa change his mind.

　Laffey (DD-724), who was passing by, was so surprised by this scene that he was speechless. "What... is going on?"

　Bunny Raffi (DD-459) next to him seemed quite calm, saying, "Hmm~ Just a real-life re-enactment of a famous scene. Sumner (Bunny Raffi's nickname for his younger brother of the same name), calm down..."

　After Belfast pulled Enterprise into the cafeteria, he found a corner, prepared a fresh meal of meat and vegetables for Enterprise, and supervised her to finish it.

　Under Belfast's supervision, the company cannot do anything tricky and can only patiently finish its work.

　"How about it, fresh food tastes better, right?" Belfast asked, staring at the enterprise.

　"Compared to MRE...it's better." Enterprise's answer was obviously hypocritical. After all, it's impossible to tell the truth that "MRE is better than cafeteria food" in front of Befa, right?

　After finishing the meal, Qiye picked up the thermos cup awkwardly and drank the remaining half cup of water in it.

　"Have you finished drinking? I'll get you some water."

　Belfast took the thermos from Enterprise and got up to get drinking water for Enterprise.

　Beifa went to the water dispenser and turned on the tap to get some water. "Oh, Miss Enterprise is such a worry..."

　The wine was half full and the tea was seventy percent full. When the cup was seventy percent filled with water, Befa turned off the faucet.

　"By the way, the company's meal just now seemed to only have vegetables and no fruit...why not make her a dip with two slices of lemon."

　(At this point, Befa didn't know that the company hated lemons.)

　So, Beifa went to the fruit buffet and took a lemon.

　After washing the lemon, Beifa used his throwing knife as a fruit knife and cut two slices for the company's thermos cup.

　Then when the company received the water from Befa, it did not drink it immediately. It was not until the evening meeting that the company opened it and drank it.

　Given Belfast's serious character and Saratoga's usual behavior, the company had no doubt that Belfast was responsible when the incident happened, but was convinced that it was Saratoga's masterpiece.

　"What a playful old friend..." - by Enterprise's evaluation of Sarah.

　So, in a sense, Belfar had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. Not only did it cause trouble for the company, but it also brought unwarranted disaster upon Saratoga...

　Let's talk a little bit about August 2nd.

　It seems that the incident of a certain old witch landing on Taiwan Island on August 2 angered many people and aroused public outrage.

　So many people were filled with indignation, saying the country was spineless, calling the higher-ups bureaucrats, saying the Communist Party was not worthy of trust, and that the CCP was completely rotten...

　I wonder if you've forgotten what we did in the Diaoyu Islands incident and the 16 South China Sea standoff? Did we back down? Did we lose?

　Not really, right?

　From the Diaoyu Islands to today's 4V, the core leadership of TG has been the same. I figured, since it's the same person, it's unlikely they'd do something schizophrenic, right? Why is 4V so "cowardly" when it comes to the Diaoyu Islands and the South China Sea?

　At that time, I thought that things must not be that simple and the real show must have just begun.

　As expected, two days later, the Eastern Theater Command directly surrounded and blockaded the 4V and conducted live-fire drills. The United States originally planned to send an aircraft carrier to the 4V Strait, but it just passed by the distant sea area east of the 4V and then disappeared.

　Why can't some people see the above facts?

　Some people accuse me of defending bureaucrats. Then please provide evidence that the government didn't react at all after the old witch landed. If you can provide that, I'll admit my mistake of "defending bureaucrats/Chinese revisionists/Chinese emperors."

　Some people might be unhappy and say, "What's the point of a fish bombing exercise? It's just bluffing. Not only did they not shoot down the old witch's plane, they didn't even have a companion plane. Bureaucrats are bureaucrats, spineless!"

　If it was really a bluff, why did the US aircraft carrier retreat? The US Navy's Seventh Fleet is the most powerful fleet in the United States. If it was really a bluff, why did they retreat?

　That's a good question as to why they didn't just shoot down the old hag's plane.

　If you blindly shoot down the old witch's plane, it means declaring war

　First, this is a game between two world powers. While war won't break out so easily, shooting down Pelosi's plane out of sheer passion, without considering the consequences, would have grave consequences and be tantamount to declaring war on the United States. To put it bluntly, it's not an exaggeration to say that it could lead to World War III. Are you, those gossiping idiots, prepared to sacrifice yourself in this global war?

　Princip assassinated Archduke Ferdinand, and then what? Was Serbia liberated?

　Even Runzhi said: "Only attack Chiang's ships, not American ships."

　Why doesn't anyone call him a "softie"?

　Secondly, if we take the initiative to attack just because the old witch visited Taiwan, it will inevitably arouse the will of the Taiwanese independence movement to resist stubbornly. This is very detrimental to a quick victory.

　Many people, influenced by online public opinion, think that Taiwan is just a strawberry soldier, so it can't be beaten at will? It's true that Taiwan is a strawberry soldier, but Taiwan's cultural and natural environment determines that 4V is not easy to fight.

　4v has high density

　Urban agglomerations, especially Taipei and Tainan, have populations of several million. In modern warfare, street fighting is a particularly troublesome matter. It is particularly difficult to attack a city with a population of 300,000 or 400,000. The Russian-Ukrainian battlefield has been enough to prove this.

　The PLA excels at open-field mobile warfare, but is weak in urban combat. The 4V army, on the other hand, is modeled after the European and American systems, which excel at relying on fortifications and urban defense.

　Although 4v is a strawberry soldier, when our weaknesses happen to meet the strengths of others, the uncertainty is greatly increased.

　If the PLA wants to fight, it cannot, because it needs to win the hearts and minds of the people, launch an indiscriminate attack with all-out firepower like the US military. If the 4V army uses residential areas or civilians as shields, or uses other underhanded tactics, the urban fighting will be even more difficult.

　Therefore, how long the PLA's attack on Taiwan will last does not depend on us, but on the 4V Army.

　Don't get me wrong, of course I'm not saying that it can't be won, but it may not be as smooth as expected. In any case, it will definitely not be completed in a week or even three days as many netizens say.

　Are some people willing to sacrifice the precious lives of the People's Liberation Army to fight against the Taiwan army in the city?

　The longer the war lasts, the greater the damage to Taiwan and the greater the impact on its people, and the less it conforms to the original intention of the PLA's attack on Taiwan—to win the hearts and minds of the people. It will also be more detrimental to the post-liberation management and stability of Taiwan.

　If I had chosen this straightforward plot path, I imagine the internet would have been full of comments like, "Why are the PLA so weak? So many casualties in a 4v fight? If the PLA is this bad, what else in China can't be bad?" and so on, with the conclusion being, "Your country is doomed."

　(In the eyes of some people, no matter what a certain country or party does, it is doomed to fail.)

　Since the uncertainty factors are increasing, we cannot guarantee that the situation will not escalate. If it cannot be resolved in a short period of time, the possibility of intervention by the United States and its neighboring countries will increase.

　Instead of this, it would be better to choose to blockade 4v. Many resources on the 4v island need to be imported, not only the military, but also the raw materials related to the daily life of the people need to be imported in large quantities.

　The landing of the old witch gave us the best excuse to surround and blockade the 4V, which allowed us to take a big step forward and achieve a level that was completely unimaginable during the 96 Taiwan Strait Crisis.
