It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Squad leader, you and I were both mobilized, and we're not unaware that our superiors often mistreat us. The last time we received rations was five days ago."

　"Don't you buy your own food?" The squad leader knew about this situation, but some necessities could be purchased at one's own expense.

　One soldier said, "I ate the last piece of bread this morning."

　"Tsk... damn it." The squad leader felt his pocket. He had some spare money, but where could he find a store in this remote countryside?

　"Forget it, let's go see if there are any wild animals or something. We can kill one and roast it as a snack for everyone." The squad leader then called everyone to go hunting in the nearby area and set off again after dinner.

　After all, it was winter, not summer, and the wild animals were better at hiding than each other. A group of people walked three kilometers in radius but found nothing.

　The squad leader thought that if he couldn't find any more food, he would just head back home. He had to conserve his energy when he was hungry, especially in the cold winter.

　"Class monitor! There is a sunflower field in the open space ahead!" the deputy class monitor holding a telescope shouted in surprise.

　The monitor frowned, ready to pick up his telescope to check. "It's below zero, and there are sunflowers? Are you sure you're seeing it right?"

　The monitor raised his binoculars and looked in the direction the deputy monitor pointed. "Strange, it seems to be true. How can there be sunflowers in this weather? Could they be some kind of frost-resistant variety?"

　Sunflowers are an oil-bearing crop, so their seeds are definitely a great source of energy, perfect for those who need energy in the depths of winter. The monitor thought to himself as he called on the entire class to hurry toward the sunflower field.

　When they arrived at the sunflower field, they were amazed at how lush the sunflowers were.

　A soldier exclaimed, "It looks like it's almost 4 meters tall! Is this variety not only cold-resistant but also tall?" (Sunflowers are generally 1 to 3.5 meters tall.)

　The squad leader came to the small house next to the sunflower and unexpectedly found that the door was not locked. He pushed the door open and took a look.

　"Here? Is anyone there?"

　No one answered.

　The deputy monitor who followed closely behind guessed, "Maybe they've gone to escape, but the room is quite clean."

　At this, the squad leader felt relieved. "Since no one is around, tell the brothers to pick as many sunflowers as they want and eat the seeds to replenish their energy quickly."

　The squad leader felt that it didn't matter who owned the flower field. What mattered was that his brothers could replenish their energy.

　"Isn't this a bad idea? It feels like stealing." One soldier felt that taking something without asking was inappropriate.

　The squad leader snorted and replied with disdain, "With fields like this, when those Bolsheviks come, they'll turn everything over to the government and leave you nothing.

　Private property is sacred and inviolable. As a military force protecting people's property from being taken away, what's wrong with eating a few sunflowers as compensation for our protection? If it weren't for us, the Bolsheviks would have come and taken all the flowers in this field, and the owner of the flower field would have to thank us!

　Then, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader walked out of the cabin, drew their daggers, and joined the team harvesting sunflowers.

　Just as this infantry squad was happily collecting sunflowers, a tall girl with short green hair and dark red eyes walked towards the Russian infantry squad from the edge of the field in another direction, holding an open parasol.

　She wore a vest with red and dark red plaid, and a Scottish skirt of the same style with a white hem; she had a yellow scarf tied around her collar, a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, and a pair of brown boots on her feet.

　When she came behind the Russian soldiers who were busy with the picking, they were still unaware and busy with their work.

　"Gentlemen, have you picked enough?"

　A cold question came from behind the Russian soldier.

　Everyone was startled and quickly put down their work, picked up the AK-74m and turned to point to the source of the sound.

　"who?"

　"There's a price to pay for messing with things that don't belong to you, gentlemen."

　The Russian soldiers looked at each other, and they understood each other and prepared to capture this strange girl.

　As a result, the girl kicked the soldier who wanted to touch her in the crotch, and the soldier fell to the ground in pain.

　"Cyka blyat! Go to hell!" When the other soldiers saw their comrades lying on the ground with their hands covering their crotch, they became furious and pulled the trigger.

　The sky above the flower fields was filled with the sounds of AK-74m gunfire and grenade explosions. But within 10 seconds, the gunfire gradually faded, accompanied by the soldiers' screams, until it stopped completely.

　When the field returned to peace, it was a group of Russian soldiers lying in a pool of blood; while the girl was still standing safely on the snow at the edge of the field.

　She took out her handkerchief, wiped the blood off her hands and parasol, and looked at the corpse on the ground coldly.

　"A bunch of scum, using them as fertilizer for flowers is a waste of natural resources."

　Chapter 228: Stabilizing Internal Affairs and Liberating the White Areas (9)

　There is a very classic clip in the Russian drama "Chernobyl Exclusion Zone", which is the opening animation of the Soviet News Broadcast accompanied by a modern version of the BGM "Time, Forward".

　This animation was bought by the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of Russia when the Russian State Television was being renovated, and was used to replace the program titles from the Russian Federation era.

　Today, Soviet State Television broadcast the news as usual. After a burst of opening animation and a musical clip of the times moving forward, the host reported the news truthfully.

　Comrades, friends, and compatriots, hello! Welcome to today's "Times Forward" news program. I'm your host, xxx. Today is Wednesday, December 7, 2022. Here's a quick rundown of the news.

　The Red Army is currently conducting a counterattack on multiple fronts in southern Russia, with the support of the ship girls. During the counterattack, we captured and accepted some defeated and surrendered White Army troops.

　According to White Army prisoners and surrendered White Army soldiers, the White Army puppet regime frequently displayed chaos during the military mobilization process, which was mainly manifested in the following three aspects:

　First, the reservist files were not organized, which led to the recruitment of people who were physically and age-inappropriate, or even dead people;

　Second, there was no plan for where to send conscripts, which resulted in many conscripts being sent to different locations aimlessly; there were not enough military training centers to accommodate these people, which led to overcrowding in the training centers.

　Third, many people had to sleep outdoors. There wasn’t enough military supplies to distribute (perhaps due to corruption or resale), forcing conscripts to buy most of the supplies themselves.

　Such chaotic phenomena reflect the White Bandit puppet government's disregard for soldiers' lives as mere animals. Such dehumanizing and destructive human rights practices fully demonstrate the reactionary nature of the White Bandit puppet regime.

　Then, the column played various videos of interviews with prisoners and surrendered White Army soldiers and officers to prove the correctness of the appeal statement.

　"The Black Sea Fleet, a fleet with a glorious history, has been revitalized after being replenished. Now well-fed and well-watered, they have regrouped and are increasingly strengthening their vigilance and strikes along the Black Sea coast.

　According to Comrade Mercury Memorial from Crimea, the ships of the Black Sea Fleet have attacked several logistical units behind enemy lines and seized a large amount of military supplies.

　Comrade Lei Ming vividly pointed out that this is like having no guns or cannons, and the enemy makes them for us!

　"It was clearly me who told Sister Lei Ming this... Humph~" Changchun, who was watching the news, muttered to himself quietly.

　While the news was being broadcast, an interview with Kanmusu Moscow was also shown.

　A reporter from the Soviet Russian State Television said: "Comrades Moscow, you are about to start a new round of Black Sea patrols. Are you and your soldiers nervous?"

　Moscow answered the reporter confidently and easily.

　"No, although we have many newcomers in the Black Sea Fleet, we have strong ideological and psychological qualities."

　Moscow then looked at the camera and answered with a piercing gaze: "Here on the Black Sea, anyone who provides military supplies to the White Army will be brought to justice! We are always ready!"

　When the official media interviewed Moscow, they also gave a close-up shot of the Moscow patrol in the distance, with 16 volcanic rock anti-ship missile launch tubes shining brightly under the sun.

　After broadcasting the front-line military affairs, the news began to turn to domestic affairs.

　"Next, let's look at domestic economic and social news. The Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia held a meeting to analyze and study economic work in 2023, and to study and deploy work on building a clean and honest Party and combating corruption.

　The meeting pointed out that under the current circumstances, the fight against corruption is the most profound self-revolution within the Party and is part of class struggle. The bitter lessons of history teach us that if corruption is allowed to continue unchecked, the vanguard will inevitably degenerate, leading to a loss of popular support and the demise of the Party and the nation.

　In future Party and government work, we will establish and improve anti-corruption mechanisms and relevant laws and regulations from within the Party to outside it, from the central government to the grassroots, and from the government to the public. We will vigorously investigate and crack down on all forms of corrupt behavior and strictly prohibit all types of corrupt thinking. We will establish an effective mechanism to ensure that people dare not, cannot, and do not want to be corrupt.

　In future economic work, we will focus on supervising enterprises that have received concentrated feedback from employees and consumers and have prominent negative problems.

　The inspectors will decide according to the law whether to take appropriate measures against the enterprise based on the severity of the problem..."

　Just like that, after the meeting, under the spring breeze of the new policy, the developer of "War Thunder" - Gaijin Company, was jointly reported by employees and players for its long-term commercial beastliness of constantly cutting profits and forcing and defrauding players of krypton.

　Since War Thunder is played by many domestic and foreign shipgirls, the handling of Gaijin Corporation involves the reputation of diplomacy and the socialist system.

　Therefore, the inspection committee investigated and rectified Gaijin with an efficiency far exceeding that of other "problem companies".

　Ultimately, the inspection committee decided to confiscate 95% of Gaijin's assets and transform it into a collectively owned enterprise, managed by employees and supervised by gamers.

　As for Anton and BVVD, the inspection committee decided to let the restructured Gaijin transfer Anton away from the company's senior management and prohibit him from being elected or holding a senior position in the company within three years.

　But bvvd was not so lucky. Not only did he lose the top throne, he was also transferred to the grassroots level of the company and was never allowed to be elected or hold important positions in the company.

　After the reform, the first thing gaijin did was to significantly increase the battle rewards of War Thunder, bringing the player's per-game rewards back to the level of the game's early years.

　The second thing he did was to modify the parameters of some vehicles in the game. According to the instructions of the local Russian Communist Party organization [seek truth from facts, don't be a "gaming power"], gaijin weakened the Soviet Union's top-level land battle vehicles and strengthened the Chinese land battle top-level vehicles.

　The third is to speed up the update of naval warfare, to produce more battleships, battlecruisers, light and heavy cruisers, and at the same time, consider adding aircraft carriers and submarines in the long-term plan.

　At the same time, we must adhere to the principle of traceable shipbuilding, and never engage in the empty shipbuilding behavior of our neighboring competitors, which is naked historical nihilism.

　What's more, some fabricated ship models and data would not float at all in reality.

　This not only means that history is no longer needed, but science is also no longer needed.

　Gaijin's three measures and plans were applauded by the majority of War Thunder players; this wise behavior not only pushed the number of War Thunder simultaneous online players to a new high, but also attracted a large number of new players.

　With this, this integrated land, sea and air vehicle shooting game, which has been released for more than 9 years, has a new look.

　Coupled with the two-way linkage with "Warship Girls" and "Azur Lane", the popularity of the game has developed rapidly, and its revenue and popularity are catching up with the neighboring World of Warships.

　Z23 used the recent events in War Thunder as a positive example to explain to Tirpitz the superiority of the socialist system.

　"Comrade Tirpitz, we see from this that such a change of conscience is almost impossible under capitalism. The capitalist, as personified capital, its spokesperson and puppet, necessarily serves the inherent expansionist drive of capital.

　Even if some bosses have high personal moral standards and are able to fight against the alienation of capitalism and market competition, they can only do it for a while, not forever.

　Conscientious bosses eventually leave, in every sense of the word. So who can guarantee that the next boss will be just as conscientious? In the end, we'll be repeating the same story repeated over and over again in ancient Chinese history (the law of historical cycles).

　Therefore, only socialism can ensure that such a conscience is continuously carried out from one term to the next, from one generation to the next."

　Tirpitz listened with gusto, nodding frequently. He thought to himself, "Looks like I'll have to spend most of my gaming time playing the Battle Thunder from now on. I just hope the German Battle Thunder series releases the Bismarck-class sooner rather than later..."

　A while after Tirpitz finished his class, Eugen came to Z23 and discussed some issues in work and training with her. While chatting, the two talked about Tirpitz.

　Z23 remembered the dream Eugen had told him about and said jokingly, "Comrade Eugen, just take that dream and

　Forget the dream. Even a half-baked communist can never become an emperor."

　"I remember there was a term on the Internet called 'Monarch Bolshevik'..." Eugen said, sucking on his fingers.

　Z23 shook his head, showing a look of disgust, and said:

　"Let's not even talk about the patchwork of Steel 4kx's worldview. Even someone with only a superficial understanding of Marxism and Communism will find Junbu's absurdity.

　The first person to propose this idea, Berthold Otto (German educator, 1859-1933), even wrote a letter to his mentor Lenin, hoping that Lenin would implement this system in the newly revolutionary Russia.

　It is still unknown whether this letter reached Mentor Lenin and whether Mentor Lenin responded to it.

　But I think it is very likely that it did not reach Lenin's hands. According to the mentor's personality, he would probably criticize this educator to death in theory.

　As for Otto's political theory, I won't elaborate on it, because his patchwork political theory is so low-level that it's not even worth refuting... Sorry, I've strayed off topic. Let's get back to your previous dream, Comrade Eugen."

　Z23 took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat and joked, "Anyway, the East German Empire in your dream wasn't socialist.

　I'll just assume you were dreaming about some parallel world's Tirpitz. Anyway, our growing comrade Tirpitz would never do such a ridiculous thing."

　"That's right." Eugen thought for a moment and nodded. "Being an emperor in a modern bourgeois democratic republic is quite absurd."

　"But I have a strange idea..." Eugen gave Z23 a playful look.

　"What?" Z23 asked, puzzled.

　"If my dream really was about Tirpitz from a parallel world, what would happen if she ran into our Comrade Tirpitz someday?"

　Z23 shrugged, looking regretful.

　"As much as we're unhappy about it, we can only watch as the 380mm gas-fired main gun and homogeneous steel armor are being pinned down by the 406mm particle beam main gun and Klein Field."

　"Tsk, luckily it was just a dream."

　"yes……"

　Chapter 229 Why the Democratic Revolution Must Cut the Grassroots

　December 7, 2022 Federal Republic of Germany

　In the dead of night, a small detachment of the 99th Border Defense Brigade was carrying out a political counter-terrorism mission code-named "Self-Clearing the House".

　This well-equipped small team quietly arrived at the hiding place of the target location and prepared to break in by force.

　The captain held up his MPX submachine gun, adorned with various tactical accessories, and made a tactical gesture. "Everyone, the target is right here. Move!"
