It is Kokang and Changchun

　After a lot of wrangling, the central government did not want to argue with Northern Ireland, so it signed a Northern Ireland Agreement with the EU. Northern Ireland continued to remain in the EU, while the entire British island left the EU.

　After Brexit, the British government immediately regretted their decision. Since Northern Ireland belongs to the EU, Great Britain no longer does. Therefore, trade between the UK and Northern Ireland still requires customs clearance and tariffs.

　Because from a trade perspective, Northern Ireland is in the European Union and belongs to another country, so trade between the two countries is subject to tax.

　Here comes the funny thing. Since Ireland is also a member of the EU, there is no need to pay taxes or customs when trading with Northern Ireland. On the contrary, within their own country - when trading with the UK mainland, taxes are required...

　In this case, is Northern Ireland part of the Republic of Ireland, or part of the United Kingdom? This directly breaks the UK's defenses and involves a matter of principle.

　If this continues, isn't it clearly breeding poison? Isn't it clearly fostering the economic foundation for separatist thinking in Northern Ireland?

　Britain: I've been stirring up shit all my life, but I never thought I'd end up stirring up my own shit.

　When Brexit was first advocated, the Brexit camp said all the good things, only talking about various benefits, such as being able to block immigration and refugees, etc., which directly hit the pain points of British society.

　But after Brexit, people found that there were no tariff preferences, the prices of many daily consumer goods began to rise, and it became difficult to work in other European countries.

　For example, some British truck drivers can have their sandwiches confiscated if they bring them into Europe to eat on the road.

　The British people, who have gradually tasted the bitter fruit of the inconvenience in the flow of people and goods after Brexit, have said that there is no point in taking off their passports and they should just go back quickly.

　Coupled with the impact of the United States' previous concessions to Japan, pro-European factions in the British domestic political and economic fields are now developing rapidly, and there is a trend of pro-European factions in these two different fields converging.

　What’s even worse is that most of the British ship girls are on the pro-European side, which makes the pro-American faction nervous.

　This makes the pro-American faction of the Conservative Party feel very strange. How come 60% of their own shipgirls have gone to support the Labour Party or other left-wing parties? Have you forgotten that it was the Labour Party that demolished yours?

　Hood responded: "It is true that the Labour Party has dismantled our sisters and has a grudge against us. But that is a personal grudge. When it comes to national affairs, the overall situation should be prioritized. We will not act like ignorant people.

　"He's here to take revenge, just like a primary school student throwing a tantrum."

　As for the 30% who support the Conservative Party, most of them are pro-Europeans. There are currently only a few ship girls who support the pro-American faction, headed by the Prince of Wales, and they can be counted on one hand.

　As for the remaining 10%, some secretly defected to the Communist Party, such as the aforementioned Javelin. Dawn might also count, but she defected to a Communist Party in another country...

　Brexit has always been the Conservative Party’s major plan, but now it seems that if the Conservative Party had a little bit of strategic planning ability, it would not have turned Britain into the mess it is today.

　Contradictions accumulate little by little, transforming from quantity to quality, and finally erupting at a critical point. Truss fled immediately after sensing the situation was dire, but Sunak erupted as soon as he took office.

　Everyone knows that this is a mess, but the fact that Sunak, an outsider, dares to take it over makes it hard for many British people not to suspect that this B is just here to get the Prime Minister's pension.

　Javelin felt that he should make good use of this wave of strikes, go deep into the masses, understand the suffering of the general public, and at the same time recruit comrades for the party organization and accumulate strength for the revolution.

　In short, Britain will face a period of unrest. The Conservative Party must either come up with sound policies to restructure the British economy and society, or it will most likely be replaced by the Labour Party. Of course, the worst-case scenario is also possible: revolution.

　AC in Australia was very happy to learn that chaos had already begun in Britain before he even got involved.

　Because AC's purpose is very simple, which is to mess up Europe to prevent the Deep Sea from attacking the United States and causing a two-pronged attack situation caused by the activation of the NATO agreement.

　Although the deep sea has the ability to stop the armed forces of NATO European countries from crossing the Atlantic to support the United States, it is better to cause less trouble than more. The best strategy is to cause chaos in Europe so that they have no time to look west.

　By then, even if Europe comes to its senses, the United States will be almost finished.

　Therefore, while AC was happy, he did not forget to always care about his intelligence subordinates and the intelligence network they had established in Europe.

　Chapter 236 Crisis lurks everywhere

　Sevastopol, Crimea, Soviet Russia

　He bravely returned to the main body of Minsk to check the repair progress and show concern for the comrades who had almost shared the same hardships with him.

　Just as she stepped onto the deck of the Minsk, a deliberately ethereal voice came from behind her.

　"Trick or treat if you don't give me candy~"

　"Halloween has passed, why are you pretending to be a ghost?" The brave girl didn't even turn her head, because she knew who was the person behind the scenes trying to be mysterious.

　Minsk, in his semi-transparent state, came up to Danda from behind with a grin and said, "Christmas is coming anyway~"

　Daring to look at the Minsk figure's condition, he said with relief, "It's OK. Much better than the past few days. I think the internal and external damage has been repaired. Your body will be completely solid now."

　"Of course I am. Minsk, I am lucky." Minsk said proudly.

　"Lucky luck—meaning the wet ammunition racks that were just replaced shortly before the operation saved your life," Bold complained. "Otherwise, you would have most likely been killed in the explosion."

　When the Minsk was severely damaged by the barrage, one of the explosions occurred relatively close to the ammunition depot. Damage control personnel at the shipyard determined that it was the wet ammunition storage that saved the Minsk, while a regular ammunition depot would have likely destroyed it.

　Minsk said: "That's one thing, but the other is that I have to run fast. If I run slowly, the density of the firepower at that time and the wet ammunition reserves will be useless."

　"Not only that, there was also me and the fighter planes that arrived in time." Danda believes that Minsk's survival was due more to objective and accidental factors.

　"You, learn this lesson. We don't have the size and heavy armor of a battlecruiser. We need to be tactical when encountering heavy enemy firepower. Don't fall into this trap again."

　"Alright, alright... I've already reflected deeply on this. Let's talk about something else, comrade." Minsk's ears were callused from hearing this, so he asked Dandan to change the subject.

　Bold looked at Minsk's translucent body, thoughtfully, and said, "Have you eaten since you went into the canal for maintenance?"

　"No, how can we resupply fuel and ammunition before the repair is completed?" Minsk replied immediately.

　"Uh... no, when I said eat, I meant it literally. I meant eating human food."

　Minsk said regretfully, "Not yet. Before this, I couldn't even lift anything. My hands would go right through anything I touched. How could I eat?"

　"That's true..." As a fellow ship girl, she boldly understood Minsk's difficulties.

　She looked at Minsk, then held Minsk's hand with her own and found that there was no "penetration".

　"Can't this be held?" said Boldly.

　"Hey, it wasn't working yesterday, but it works today?" Minsk was ecstatic. She unconsciously clenched her fists to feel the feeling of being back.

　Boldly deduced, "Your body wasn't working yesterday, but it's working today. This means your body is recovering, and your level of solidification is gradually increasing. Today is exactly the critical point between intangibility and solidity. Although you're still translucent, at least from a collision perspective, you've become solid."

　"Wait a minute." Danda seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Minsk carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

　She said to Minsk, "I'm a little curious, what is it like for you to eat in this state?"

　"Uh... haven't you tried it in your semi-hollow state?" Minsk asked.

　Boldly shook his head and said:

　"I just thought of this. How could I have thought of this before? Oh, I happen to have a wafer. How about you try it?"

　"Well... okay then." Minsk thought about it, worried that something bad might happen, but her scientific spirit of curiosity overcame her worries and she decided to give it a try.

　Minsk took the wafer from Danda and took a look. "Oh, it's still yogurt wafer flavor. I like the texture of this flavor the most."

　She then tore open the package and carefully tested it with her teeth. When she felt the touch, she took a bite and started chewing.

　"Crack, crack, crack..." (Girl chewing)

　Daring observed Minsk and exclaimed, "Wow! Wafer crumbs are floating in your mouth."

　The scene before me was so awe-inspiring I couldn't find a more vivid description. It was like a cartoon where a slime eats, with the food suspended in its translucent body.

　"Try to see if you can swallow it." Danda took out his mobile phone, turned on the video function, and suggested that Minsk swallow the biscuit.

　Minsk tried to swallow, and bravely saw the food crumbs he swallowed quickly turned into blue light spots and dissipated.

　"Is this... digested? Are you feeling any discomfort, Comrade Minsk?" Daringly looking at the scene before him, he felt as if he were at a historic moment of scientific discovery.

　Minsk felt good about himself and said, "Nothing unusual. It feels just like eating normally. By the way, why were you so surprised just now? What happened?"

　"You'll know after watching it." Danda showed Minsk the video he had just recorded.

　When Minsk saw it, he instantly became more excited than brave.

　"This is a great discovery!" Minsk widened her eyes. Full of scientific curiosity, she was determined to report this great discovery.

　Minsk subconsciously sent a communication report to Aurora, only to find that he was currently under repair and had no oil or electricity.

　So she simply shook Bold's hand and pleaded, "Comrade Bold, for the sake of scientific exploration and knowledge, please help me report!"

　"Ah, good..."

　……

　----------------

　New York City, New York, United States of America

　It is no exaggeration to describe New York City today as "thousands of miles of ice and tens of thousands of miles of snow". The entire city is covered with wind and snow, the roads are frozen and the snow is up to the feet.

　The scene resembled a still from the disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow," depicting New York City after a significant temperature drop. Not exactly the same, but about 70% to 80% similar.

　The reason for this is the arrival of an extremely cold wave. Although New York is not the city worst hit, the damage it has inflicted should not be underestimated.

　This severe cold wave continues to sweep across the United States, causing 65 people to be frozen to death, thousands of households and commercial units to be without water and electricity, nearly 3000 flights to be canceled, and a large number of passengers to be stranded at airports.

　If you call 911 to make a complaint now, you will find that the line is always busy - because of the snowstorm, the 911 line has been overwhelmed by people seeking help and making complaints.

　Many shops and street vendors on the street have suspended business due to the extreme weather. However, even closed, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of some "special customers".

　These customers did not have a penny on them, only guns or controlled knives, and came to the store owner to "help in time of need."

　A petite girl was walking in the snow-white Manhattan. She came to the familiar street corner, but did not see the hot dog cart she was familiar with.

　"I knew it... Humans really can't handle this blizzard."

　As she spoke, the girl tightened the hood of her unnecessary down jacket and looked off into the distance. On the street in the distance, municipal and firefighters were diligently clearing the snow with the help of machinery and tools.

　Because the snow was too thick and had not been seen in decades, even with the help of machines, it seemed a little small and powerless.

　The girl is one of the many American intelligence deep-sea pioneers lurking, numbered 4080. She is usually responsible for intelligence gathering and infiltration work in the New York city area.

　Her favorite thing to do after every mission is to come to the hot dog stand on the corner of the street and pick up a crispy American hot dog.

　Eating in the deep sea is the same as eating on the ship girls. It is not necessary for survival, but for the spiritual enjoyment of taste perception.

　She has bought hot dogs from many places, whether restaurants or roadside stalls, but the hot dogs made at this roadside stall are the most to her liking, so she usually comes here to buy hot dogs.

　However, as an intelligence officer, she was highly aware of this aspect - she wore a completely different disguise every time she went to the hot dog stand, in order to avoid being recognized by the stall owner due to buying too many times.

　"Oh, no hot dogs to eat... Think on the bright side, at least there are no ship spirits on the East Coast?" She forced herself to think on the bright side to make up for the slightly negative emotions caused by not having her favorite hot dogs to eat.

　The lack of shipgirls on the East Coast is a reflection of the poor relationship between American shipgirls, Congress, and the government. American shipgirls are not in the mainland, and are currently all in Pearl Harbor or Guam.

　The US officials euphemistically claim that the purpose of this is to monitor Japan, but in fact it is to transfer the ship girls away from the homeland of power so that they can out of sight and out of mind.

　This is similar to the ancient times when the emperor would transfer officials he disliked to remote frontier areas. (Su Shi: Well said)

　4080 recalled the past year or so of intelligence infiltration work in the United States and said with emotion: "The sisters in the upper echelons said that infiltration into the United States is directly used in the upper

　One World's method of infiltrating Shanghai has proven to be effective time and time again."

　A federal state is much looser than a unitary state. The deep-sea invaders in Shanghai in the last world were able to infiltrate Shanghai into a sieve, not to mention the United States.

　In the current political world where the United States is becoming increasingly India-South Korea-like, it is easy for it to use the same method it used against Shanghai.

　Because of this, many high-ranking officials in New York and some Wall Street tycoons have fallen at the feet of Shen Hai, doing whatever she says and letting Shen Hai rub and abuse her black silk stockings.

　"Even deep-sea combat puppets are more comfortable than humans. I wonder what those smarter deep-sea pioneers will do..." - A rebellious official in New York City who was rewarded with a combat puppet as rbq by the deep sea for revealing a lot of intelligence guessed expectantly.

　At first, 4080 was a little worried about the sisters infiltrating Washington, D.C., because after all, it was under the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the mission was definitely more difficult than in New York.

　However, according to reports from sisters in Washington, despite the many difficulties, they still overcame all obstacles and completed various spy missions without making any mistakes or errors that would alert the federal government.

　4080 just sent a telegram to the headquarters yesterday, saying that the combat effectiveness of the human army will be greatly reduced under extreme weather conditions, and suggested attacking the United States before the impact of the snowstorm ends.

　The headquarters replied: "We have the best timing now, but our manpower is not yet fully prepared - the last batch of the main force has just arrived in the northwest Atlantic and is not yet ready for the attack.

　We have just cracked the IFF module and ACS unit on the US military satellite, and we haven't had time to do anything to the US military information system yet. Please be patient.

　But the definite answer we can give is that a full-scale attack on the United States will not be postponed until February of next year at the latest."

　"Got it," 4080 replied. "In the meantime, my fellow sisters in New York will do their best to get you the crucial intelligence you'll need for the offensive."

　After closing the communication, 4080 she went to a bar that was still open and ordered a cocktail to drink slowly.

　In the bar, at some tables, there was a group of extremely excited people, smoking cigarettes on the tables and dancing.

　When the waiter saw this, he quickly advised: "Sir, you smoked too much marijuana at once..."

　"I didn't take too much! I bought the leaves myself, you can smoke them however you want! If you say anything more, I'll beat you to death! Get out of here!" The person who danced the most vigorously spoke harshly to the waiter.

　The waiter didn't want to cause any trouble, so he said, "Then take care of yourself, sir." Then he sighed and left in a hurry.

　After sending the waiter away, the man called out to his friends, "Everyone! Let's have fun today! We won't leave until we're drunk! Come on! Let's keep playing and dancing!"

　As they spoke, all the people in the city sang and howled with their hearts out, with a sound scene that sounded like "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying incessantly, and the light boat has already passed through ten thousand mountains."

　4080, who had taken in the entire scene, couldn't help but shake his head and sneered, "Oh, humans... are truly hopeless. It's best if they are destroyed."
