It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Damn the deep sea! I fuck you mother! Give me a quick word, Do you surrender or not! " the officer shouted angrily.

　Finally, the negotiations broke down and the human forces prepared to attack.

　At this time, in the deepest part of the underground bunker, an expressionless girl was sitting at her desk, listening to the reports of the three commanding deep-sea officers sitting in front.

　Waves of faint explosions and gunshots were coming from outside the office door. The bombing from heavy artillery and aircraft was constantly shaking the bunker and shaking off the wall dust on the ceiling.

　One of them suggested, "Um, Lord Admiralty Code, the outer defense forces are in danger, and the humans are about to attack the bunker. Should we consider activating the backup plan?"

　The Deep Sea, known as Admiralty Code, was the leader of all the Deep Seas. She remained expressionless and calm as she spoke, "I can't believe it! I failed again! I thought I wouldn't need this thing again this time."

　As she spoke, she pressed the trigger under the table. A secret door disguised as a wall opened nearby.

　"I'll activate the portal. You go tell everyone to pack up everything you can, including important supplies, documents, equipment, and scientific research drawings!"

　"Yes!" The three commanding deep-sea soldiers turned around and went out to carry out the order.

　"The fortress was finally breached from the inside, Fortress Princess... Traitor, if it weren't for you, I would have made humanity surrender to me long ago! And that other useless me!" Admiralty Code muttered to himself viciously, his hand smashing against the reinforced concrete wall, sinking deeply into the spider-web-like cracks.

　Admiralty Code activated the portal, but she didn't know where it was behind the portal because the portal had been damaged due to energy overload during its use in previous reincarnations, making it unable to independently choose the destination of the teleportation.

　Therefore, the Admiralty Code's activation of the portal under these circumstances was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. Beyond the portal could lie a world of flintlock rifles and muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons, or perhaps a civilization of spaceships and interstellar melees...

　After a while, a dozen deep-sea scouts, carrying large and small bags, regrouped in front of Admiralty Code. These deep-sea scouts were the only remaining manpower under Admiralty Code. Those on the upper level and resisting the human attack were just some combat puppets.

　Ultimately, the human army, with considerable casualties, captured the deep-sea bunker. When the vanguard team blasted through the door of the Admiralty Code office, they found it empty, with an electronic clock on the desk counting down the final five seconds.

　Seeing this, the team leader quickly shouted, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap! Retreat!"

　However, it was too late. The high-energy time bomb buried under the desk exploded as scheduled after the countdown ended. It was not alone, as explosives buried in the bunker's load-bearing structure also exploded with it.

　This was the deep sea's final "gift" to humanity—the troops attacking the bunker were buried beneath the collapsed rubble, and the surrounding ground forces also suffered varying degrees of casualties and losses due to the ground collapse. Later, during the rescue of the bunker ruins, nearly 2000 bodies were dug out from the ground.

　"Destination reached. Analysis is underway to calculate the planet's relative cosmic coordinates... The third planet in the solar system at the edge of the Milky Way...

Today is April 10, 2021, according to the planet's public calendar."

　"Another... parallel space

　The Earth in the universe? It’s nearly five years later than the last time…” Admiralty Code stopped analyzing the core data and said.

　"Haha, interesting! This world not only has shipgirls, but before this, there was even knowledge of ship spirits (shipgirls) and the deep sea... But the deep sea they understand is quite different from ours. Sisters, from today on, we will make a comeback right here!"

　"Report, we... can't seem to deploy the Klein Stand Shield..."

　Chapter 28: The Stories of Japanese Shipgirls

　April is the season when Japan's national flower blooms.

　A WWII-style Japanese destroyer cuts through the waves, slowly entering the bustling Tokyo Bay. Standing by the gunnery control panel on the bridge is a young girl, still fresh from her childhood. After many twists and turns, she has finally returned to her hometown, having been away for over half a century.

　She is the Fubuki-class Type III destroyer No. 22 - Hibiki.

　Xiang leaned on the railing and looked out at the scenery of her hometown on the shore. The jungle of steel and concrete covered with neon lights had long replaced the wooden attics in her memory. Only the rows of elegant blooming cherry blossoms on the shore, dancing in the sky as if dyed red ink, made her feel very familiar.

　"さくら, さくら, 野山も里も~" Hibiki hummed a well-known ditty from his hometown in a touching scene.

　At this moment, a call came from the other end of the radio: "This is Yokosuka Naval Base. Excuse me, is this the Fubuki-class Special Type III destroyer - Hibiki?"

　Hibiki replied: "Private, private, private! What's your instruction? (It's me, I'm back, do you have any instructions?" The seemingly straightforward words actually contain Hibiki's strong homesickness.

　The naval base communicator said with a smile: "Hibiya, お帰りなさい (Hibiya, welcome home). Next, please follow the instructions and enter the port. Do you need a tugboat to help?"

　"有難う、いいえ。(Thank you, no thanks) I can do it myself!"

　After the call, Xiang took off the Soviet Red Navy cap on his head, revealing the two small horns on his forehead, and the Red Navy sailor uniform on his body was instantly changed into a belly-baring shrine maiden uniform (original skin illustration) by blue light.

　Under the guidance of the port staff, Xiang controlled his body to dock into the corresponding ship position almost perfectly.

　When Xiang left the ship and came ashore, he was warmly welcomed by everyone present. Some young men in the crowd were holding banners and even hung three pictures of Xiang - those of ship B, ship C, and ship R.

　In addition to humans, there were also fellow ship girls from the same hometown who came to welcome Xiang.

　"You must be Hibiki from the 6th Destroyer Fleet. I am the battleship Mikasa. Welcome back to Japan." Mikasa nodded to Hibiki and welcomed him.

　"Ah! Mikasa-senpai? I've long heard of your great name. I'm so sorry for the disrespect." Xiang immediately bowed deeply to show his respect.

　Hibiki was touched by the warm welcome from the crowd, but was also curious why everyone was wearing a mask, so she asked, "Minami-san, I'm glad to see you welcome me! But why are you all wearing masks?"

　Mutsu said, "Because there has been a large-scale epidemic recently, I'm wearing a mask."

　"I see. Then...besides us, has anyone else been resurrected?" Xiang asked again.

　Mikasa replied, "Well... I don't know all of them... The only ones I know are Kongo, Zuikaku, Hatakaze, Ise, Hyuga, and I-58. I'm not familiar with the rest."

　"Where are Xiao, Lei and Dian? Are they here?" Xiang asked, concerned about the sisters who had fought alongside her in the past.

　Mutsu sighed, spread his hands and said, "There's no news about them yet, at least not that we know of... Eh? Hibiki, don't be like this..."

　Just now, when Mutsu said that there was no news from the remaining members of the Six Drives, Hibiki's tears welled up in his eyes.

　"Hibiki, don't be like this..." Mutsu leaned over and wiped the tears from Hibiki's face. "It's just for now. According to the current situation, the number of ship girls appearing is increasing. Maybe one day they will be resurrected as humans like us. Well, if you are really sad, just come to your sister's arms~"

　As he said this, Mutsu gave Xiang a caring hug to comfort him.

　Hibiki's head was buried in Mutsu's chest. She felt the warmth and softness on her face, and her heart felt fulfilled. Her sadness gradually subsided, and she said to Mutsu, "Well... Mutsu-senpai... you're right. We can't give up hope..."

　Mutsu said: "That's right, it's good to figure it out, Xiao Leidian and the others will definitely come back~"

　Xiang seemed reluctant to leave Mutsu's embrace and said, "Mutsu-senpai, can I stay in your arms for a while longer? You're so warm and caring here..."

　"Of course you can, Xiang. It's the seniors' duty to help the juniors solve their problems~"

　Under the arrangement of the relevant personnel, Xiang received some basic common sense education in modern society and improved his identity information. Later, he received a special subsidy from the authorities and bought a second-hand house to live in. Of course, this is a story for the future. For now, Xiang is still with Mikasa for the time being.

　"It's difficult for you (Thank you very much)"

　Mikasa got out of the car, thanked the driver, and then took Hibiki to her home. Hibiki admired Mikasa's house, a typical Japanese-style courtyard. As she was led into the house by Mikasa, she was struck by the rich interior style of the early 20th century Taisho era.

　Xiang himself did not feel any sense of disobedience, after all, the construction of the era in which he lived was

　The interior style of Tsukushi is not much different from Mikasa's.

　However, after searching the entire room, apart from electric lights, radios, refrigerators, telephones and other electrical appliances that he had seen before, he did not find any household appliances related to the information age, such as computers and mobile phones.

　Hibiki turned to Mikasa, who was preparing a room for her, and asked, "Mikasa-senpai, I asked the receptionist about this a while ago, and they said that smartphones and computers are the most important things right now. With your serious personality, you shouldn't have neglected them."

　"Uh..., using a cell phone or a computer... How can those things be as solid as reading a book or a newspaper? Holding them in your hands, something tangible, that's what we call learning and working..." Mikasa came out of the room and forced a laugh in response to Xiang's question.

　Hibiki tilted her head, her eyes gradually narrowed, and she looked at Mikasa Daisenbei with a look that said "you are lying". Being straightforward, she asked directly, "Tsk... I think Mikasa-senpai doesn't know how to make excuses, right?"

　Hibiki's words hit Mikasa's heart like a heavy bullet. Mikasa was sweating profusely, and her right hand holding the broom almost lost its grip. She responded, "No... no, how could it be, that's not the case. I just wanted to experience some retro fun."

　Xiang continued to ask, "Senior, cleaning must be very hard for you. Why don't you try using a vacuum cleaner?"

　"A vacuum cleaner? That's... ahem!" Mikasa smoothed over her awkward expression and feigned seriousness. "Cleaning is done with a broom and a rag! Only when your body is fully active can you truly clean! Thinking of taking it easy and being lazy is sheer wishful thinking. People like that deserve to be treated with a spirit infusion stick!"

　After saying this, Mikasa couldn't help but speed up the cleaning, but the speed was a little too hasty and seemed unnatural, as if she was trying to hide something in her heart.

　Xiang: "But a vacuum cleaner can make cleaning faster, it's not like it's labor-free."

　Mikasa: "We are not planning to save trouble, but to pour our hearts into it and leave no trace..."

　In the end, Xiang didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, she was an old senior, so he had to give her some face and let her down the stairs.

　Hibiki replied to his senior, "Senpai, I'm going to take a shower first."

　"Okay, go downstairs to the bathroom and turn right..."

　In the bathroom, Xiang stared at his naked self in the mirror. His long, smooth silver-gray hair flowed down like a stream, his skin was flawless, and the two red horns on his head not only did not stand out from the overall look, but also looked very harmonious and beautiful.

　Hibiki reached out and touched his horn. "Hmm... I used to say it looked like a human, but now it's more like the legendary demon tribe... So, how do you take a bath?"

　In the past, when Xiang was still serving in the army, although the sailors bathed her many times, after being submerged for so many years, her memory of some things has become vague, including bathing.

　"If you ask anyone, Mikasa-senpai is cleaning and it's inconvenient... Oh, and I can be comrade Kogan."

　Thinking of this, Xiangli immediately called Changchun, which was far away in Shandong.

　"So it's about trust. What's going on? Taking a bath, right? That's easy. First do this... then that... then do this... and finally do that." Changchun patiently taught Xiang when she asked for advice. Of course, our Pipichun also mixed in a lot of sex-related stuff in the teaching process.

　"Ah ha~ Good... so powerful..." After a long while, Xiang pulled out his finger covered with sticky liquid from somewhere on his body, his eyes blurred, still unsatisfied.

　"Comrade Kokang just said that Japan also has the Oedo Forty-Eight Techniques. As a Japanese ship, I don't know as much as the Rossiya ship. It's really shameful!"

　After taking a shower, Xiang wrapped himself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. At this time, the distinctive sound of newspapers hitting the coffee table came from the living room, followed by Mikasa's cursing:

　"Baka Yaro! Are all the people in Reiwa stupid? Disregarding opposition from many countries and the people at home, you're dumping nuclear wastewater directly into the sea? What's the difference between you and Unit 731 and those beasts in Nanjing, China?! Not only can these idiots not handle the epidemic, they can even think of such a thing? God damn this traitor!"

　Mikasa drew out her katana in anger. The bright blade reflected Mikasa's gritted teeth, and her murderous eyes looked at Suga Yoshihide on the headline of Asahi Shimbun.

　Chapter 29: The Story of Japanese Ship Girls (2)

　"Senior, what's wrong?"

　Xiang walked out of the bathroom and heard Mikasa scolding in the living room. He immediately ran to the living room, opened the sliding door, checked the situation and asked.

　When Mikasa opened the door, her back was facing Hibiki, sheathing the katana she had just drawn in anger. After sheathing the sword, Mikasa turned to look at Hibiki at the door, sighed, and said, "Sorry, I got a little too excited just now. Take a look at this."

　After saying that, Mikasa picked up the Asahi Shimbun that had fallen on the coffee table and handed it to Hibiki.

　Xiang took the newspaper and read some relevant news.

　"Nuclear waste water? The principle of nuclear reactor power generation. If I remember correctly, the water from many nuclear power plants is discharged into the sea, right?" Xiang expressed confusion.

　Mikasa realized that Xiang had misunderstood her and quickly corrected her, "This isn't the wastewater used to cool the fuel rods. This is the cooling wastewater that comes into direct contact with the nuclear fuel. It's highly radioactive!"

　"What? Using water to directly contact nuclear fuel for cooling? What kind of operation is this?" Xiang was even more confused.

　Mikasa held her forehead with shame and continued to explain: "Alas

　Let me start from the beginning. Ten years ago, a tsunami caused a nuclear power plant failure, resulting in a nuclear leak.

　It wasn't a serious nuclear accident at first, but those idiots dragged their feet for ten years and turned it into something even more serious than Chernobyl in Russia...

　...And now the nuclear fuel rods, which had lost their protection, have melted through the unit and the ground, and are still melting underground. The tanks built next to the nuclear power plant were used to hold the water to cool the nuclear fuel rods, but now they are full and are being discharged into the sea."

　Mikasa recounted the entire story, leaving Hibiki in disbelief and anger. Hibiki had previously been reticent to assume the worst about the post-war democratic reforms of the Japanese government. But Mikasa's words were a stark rebuke.

　"So...how are the people in Fukushima Prefecture, where the incident occurred?"

　Xiang seemed to still have some daydreams in his mind.

　However, Mikasa's next words immediately extinguished the little bit of fantasy that Hibiki had left: "People? You idiots, why would you care about the lives of the people? The people should live as they should."

　Xiang’s inner thoughts: This capitalist government that treats human life as worthless should be destroyed as soon as possible.

　"This is really too much. Are these idiots trying to drag the whole world down with them?" Xiang said angrily. "By the way, Mikasa-senpai, what are your plans for this situation?"

　"Are you planning on doing that? I was originally thinking about protesting and filing a complaint next. However, seeing so many people back home strongly opposing it, it's all to no avail..."

　Mikasa was halfway through her words when she grabbed the katana with her right hand and raised it in front of her. She held the hilt with her left hand, pulled the sword out one-third of the way, and then inserted it back in.

　"In that case, I wouldn't mind another action like the [Overthrow of the Qing Dynasty Movement]."

　Mikasa's reaction surprised Hibiki.

　Hmm...it seems Senior Mikasa is also dissatisfied with the current Japanese regime. Comrade Kokang said that we should unite everyone we can, and even if we can't unite with them, we should try our best to keep them neutral and avoid having them stand in opposition to us.

　Thinking this way, Hibiki decided to try to win over Mikasa. However, Mikasa was of the older generation, and some of her beliefs were difficult to fundamentally change, such as her opposition to eunuchs but not to the emperor. So Hibiki didn't act immediately, but planned to influence her gradually.

　As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. Xiang believes that he still needs to strengthen theoretical learning and supplement it with social practice and investigation.

　Hibiki asked Mikasa, "Senior, is there a library nearby? I want to read some books."

　"Xiang is quite good. Reading is a good thing. There is a library. It's in..." Mikasa said as she rummaged through the cabinet and took out a map. She pointed to a target on the map and said, "Look, it's here. I recently learned some knowledge about nuclear energy here."

　Xiang was very happy and said, "That's great, thank you, senior. Can I borrow the map temporarily?"

　"Of course, you take it first." Mikasa agreed to Xiang's request.

　Xiang was about to go out with the map when he was suddenly stopped by Mikasa.

　"Wait a minute! I understand you're eager to study. But at least you should get dressed before going out, right?"

　Mikasa's reminder made Xiang look down suddenly. The bath towel he had just taken out of the bathroom was still wrapped around his body and was even showing signs of slipping off.

　If it weren't for Mikasa's reminder, Hibiki might have walked out into the street wrapped in a towel without noticing.

　"Ah! I'm so sorry! Thank you for the reminder, Senior! I'll change my clothes now..."

　After a while, Xiang took the map given by Mikasa and set off for the library.
