It is Kokang and Changchun

　"They used to be, but they're not now!" Ibaraki Huashan took over and argued: "I've come into contact with them, they are definitely not warmongers, nor are they the livestock of the military during World War II!

　On the contrary, many of them are anti-war democratic fighters, and some are communists! They sympathize with the current situation of our Japanese Communist Party! "

　"Stop it!" a pacifist committee member shouted. "I've seen those shipgirls in the aviation fleet. They've made statements on Twitter and never fully acknowledged the reactionary nature of the Greater East Asia War! You're telling me these shipgirls are trustworthy?"

　Ibaraki Hanafu retorted: "The only ones with serious ideological errors are the aviation team. Everyone else has normal thoughts. I say again, the majority of ship girls are still on the side of justice."

　Then she looked at the Yokosuka representatives and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Yokosuka comrades if I'm telling the truth."

　The Yokosuka representative nodded repeatedly and said, "Comrade Ibaraki is right. At least that's true for the Yokosuka shipgirls. However, your version is slow."

　Recently, the Air Sentai ship girls have made a lot of corrections since last month, and they have completely drawn a line between themselves and their past selves."

　Koike Akira couldn't help himself and asked on the microphone: "Comrade, this is a meeting of the Central Committee, not a bedtime story party for children.

　Anyone who has done ideological work knows that those stubborn elements are not easily reformed. Such a rapid change of mind is probably a pretense; nine times out of ten they are trying to gain political advantage.

　Like Secretary-General Koike Akira, Shii Kazuo also believed that relying on the support of the Shipgirls was absurd, saying, "Let me take a step back and say that even if there are no militarists among the Shipgirls;

　But organizationally, they are not under our control. So, I would like to ask this Yokosuka comrade: after the Kishida government falls, can you guarantee that they will not have other ideas about national power, or even our Party?

　Historically, Japan was once kidnapped by the military. It was precisely because of the military's kidnapping that Japan's militarist tendency could not be reversed, and it continued to go down this rotten road until it surrendered to the US military.

　Although this metaphor may not be polite to the ship girls, similar things have happened in history after all, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

　Shii Kazuo's concerns are not without reason, although the example he cited is not appropriate. If we must say there is a more appropriate example, let's say China's Northern Expedition.

　Ibaraki Hanasu believed that Shii Kazuo's reasons and arguments were full of loopholes and refuted them.

　"If they really had any messed-up ideas, with the combat capabilities of the shipgirls, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. They are fully capable of cleaning us out while entering Tokyo and killing Kishida."

　She once competed with Xiang in drinking, and she clarified her position based on the facts she saw.

　Kazuo's misunderstanding of Kanmusu.

　"Comrade Shii Kazuo, do you know the principle of Occam's razor? If it is not necessary, do not increase the entity. This also applies to the ship girl. If the ship girl is fully capable of opposing us and the Liberal Democratic Party at the same time in a simple way, why is she beating around the bush with us?"

　The Yokosuka representative, observing the solemn and chaotic scene, advised, "Comrades, it has come to this point. If we hesitate any longer, we will all become prisoners of the LDP! Every one of us here will be in trouble! Just look at Comrade Tetsuzo Fuwa!"

　At this point, Shii Kazuo sternly declared, "The razor principle you just mentioned makes some sense, but we can't rule out the possibility that they're deliberately playing around, hiding their daggers, and playing the long game. Since you don't have the necessary strength, you must surrender!"

　This is all to protect the working people and preserve the red flame. I know some comrades are very dissatisfied, but I am doing this for your own good!

　Ibaraki Hanazō was filled with fervor, and faced the right-wing opportunism of Shii Kazuo with no hesitation:

　"If you can 100% guarantee that Kishida Fumio will really spare us after you hand over your weapons, then I will hand them over! You said you want to preserve the flame, but let me tell you: the revolutionary masses can never be killed, because truth will always exist!"

　She continued, "Besides, at this critical juncture, who are our enemies and who are our friends? If we still can't figure this out, it would be tantamount to suicide! Who is handcuffing and butchering us now? Is it the Kanmusu? Or is it Kishida Fumio's Liberal Democratic Party government?!

　The ship girls are kind enough to sympathize with and support us, but we ignore them and instead hand over our guns to the Liberal Democratic Party that is sharpening its knives against us. How outrageous and confusing is this behavior?

　I simply cannot do such a foolish thing that goes against the laws of nature. No matter what, I am on the same side as the way of heaven!"

　A member of the Standing Committee seized on a flaw in Ibaraki Hanafu's words and accused him, "What do you mean by Heavenly Way? You still say you're revolutionary? Is that a word a revolutionary would use?!"

　"That's just a generic term. Do I have to say [the objective laws of the development of things]? I'm just trying to save my breath. Some comrades don't pay attention to the pain points, but instead nitpick the insignificant points in my words. Aren't they at a loss for words?" Ibaraki Huashan was speechless at the unfounded accusations made by a member of the Standing Committee.

　Then she raised her arms and shouted, warning: "Comrades, we must learn to seize every opportunity that can be utilized. Once some opportunities are missed, they will become a misstep that will last a lifetime!

　Even if the KanColle are not currently leading the Party, we must unite with them! In any era of revolution, we must build a united front. Fighting alone is useless and will not yield any results! "

　A representative of the peace faction said: "A united front is fine, but armed struggle is unacceptable. Besides being short on guns, we also lack military talent within our party. How can we fight the LDP reactionaries and the Self-Defense Forces?"

　Ibaraki Hanafugi sneered, rebuking, "How can military talent be so special? It's acquired, not innate! That's why I emphasize the need to cooperate with the shipgirls. The Chinese Communist Party had nothing in the air force back then. The first relevant military talents were all trained by the former Imperial Japanese Army Air Force who defected!"

　Let's just consider the shipgirls as the former Imperial Japanese Navy that surrendered. The same situation would be fine with the CCP, so why is it a problem with us? Are we, the Japanese Communist Party, more harsh on our compatriots than the CCP is on the Japanese?

　……

　The revolutionary faction, led by Yokosuka Prefecture representative and Fukushima Prefecture representative Ibaraki Hanaogi, engaged in a heated debate with the peace faction. Even after the meeting was well past halfway, there was still no sign of abating.

　The main topics revolved around whether to surrender the weapons or not, violent revolution or peaceful struggle, and whether the ship girls were reliable. It must be said that throughout the debate, Ibaraki Hanafu's words and rhetoric were so eloquent that even her opponents had to admire her eloquence.

　Finally, Shii Kazuo could no longer tolerate the revolutionaries' "absurdities" and sternly declared, "I'm putting this on notice. Unless a certain comrade can secure the support of more than half of the comrades at this meeting, I will voluntarily resign and reorganize the Central Standing Committee and the Central Secretariat according to procedure. Otherwise, every Party member must surrender their weapons and persist in peaceful struggle!"

　After a while, the long meeting finally came to an end, and every Central Committee member present had to make his or her own choice.

　"Those who support uniting all forces, including Kancolle, against the reactionary ruling LDP to seize national power by force, please type 1.

　If you are against armed struggle, insist on peaceful struggle in parliament, and protest against the Kishida Fumio government, please dial 2.

　If you wish to abstain, please tick 0. If the number of abstentions is less than one-third, the vote is valid; otherwise, the vote is invalid.

　As Zhiwei Kazuo finished his slightly impatient words, the number 1 or 2 appeared continuously in the chat box below the conference video, interspersed with a few zeros from time to time.

　During the voting process, the entire conference channel was silent. Although everyone seemed calm, they were actually very agitated inside. Everyone wanted their support to be passed.

　After the voting is completed, the public chat box will truthfully display everyone's votes. Since the public chat box is real-time and public, every participant can receive it and it is tamper-proof.

　Shii Kazuo looked at the results in the public chat box, sighed, and could only report truthfully: "90 votes should have been cast, 90 votes were cast, 32 votes supported armed struggle, 31 votes supported peaceful struggle, and 27 votes abstained. According to the relevant

　According to the relevant voting regulations, the vote is valid.”

　Kazuo Shii took off his glasses with some trembling. He didn't expect that the revolutionaries could win so narrowly. He regretted in his heart that he had just raised the flag out of anger.

　Although he was unwilling to accept it, the evidence was irrefutable. 90 Central Committee members, 90 pairs of ears and 90 pairs of eyes saw and heard the flag he just raised, and he could not go back on his word.

　Shii Kazuo closed his eyes, feeling frustrated for a few seconds before deciding to face reality. "According to the voting results, what I just said, and the Party Constitution and Party Discipline, the next step will be to vote on the reorganization of the Central Committee Standing Committee and the Central Secretariat..."

　【Members are voting to reorganize...】

　After the voting results came out, it was Ibaraki Hana's turn to be dumbfounded. At this moment, she was in an OvO state: "This, this, this... this can't be right. I just talked nonsense for more than two hours, and... I became the Chairman of the Central Committee?"

　Ibaraki Hanasu felt flattered. She knew that she had been a member of the Central Committee for less than a year. Who would believe that a party member who had been a member of the Central Committee for less than a year was elected as the Chairman of the Central Committee without any background?

　But the problem is that Ibaraki Hanafu has no connections within the party. As for outside the party? If you insist on looking at it from this perspective, Ibaraki Hanafu does have a pretty strong background.

　It might be so big that most people would gasp, but it has absolutely nothing to do with her work and promotion within the party. In other words, she has never revealed her background, nor has she used her background to do things that are not what a Communist Party member does.

　"But when it comes to actual work, I'm not as good as Comrade Nakano (Yokosuka representative)." Ibaraki Hanafu expressed his objection to the election results.

　However, Ibaraki thought about it and understood the result. "The Central Secretariat is a permanent office, and the requirements for execution are relatively high. The position of Central Committee Chairman is more about coordination... That's fine."

　Since you are in a position, you must do your job. Not only do you do your job, but you must also take responsibility and do your best. Ibaraki Hanasu began to plan for the Japanese Communist Party to unite with the ship girls and prepare for armed struggle.

　"What? Ibaraki Hana fanned her and elected as the General Secretary... no, the Chairman of the Central Committee?" Eve was surprised by the result, but it was also reasonable.

　"Does the Japanese left-wing absolutely need the leadership of the Oni Clan and the assistance of the Ship Spirits to regain its strength? Or is this... just another case of the cosmic consciousness's evil intentions?"

　Chapter 268 Tonight is a revolutionary communist (3)

　The reorganization of the Party Central Committee is only the beginning of the armed struggle of the Japanese Communist Party. The entire Japanese Communist Party, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, still has a lot of work to do and problems to solve.

　The leadership core headed by Ibaraki Hanasu was well aware of this. First of all, they did not take any particularly radical measures against the peace faction, such as expelling them from the party. At most, they only revoked their party positions, but they still retained their party membership and corresponding rights.

　In order to better implement the will of the revolutionaries and better carry out revolutionary work, the Central Committee of the New Party decided to convene a meeting to propose the amendment of the party constitution.

　After a series of meetings and discussions, the 2023 revisions to the Japanese Communist Party's constitution were approved. The new constitution reassesses Japan's current social situation and major contradictions, shifting away from the previously peaceful, democratic social ethos and becoming more revolutionary and militant.

　A large number of worldviews and methodologies of armed struggle, Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought were incorporated into it; it was believed that the Miyamoto Kenji line since 1958 was no longer suitable for the changes in the current revolutionary situation, and the provisions of the Miyamoto line were removed from the new version of the Party Constitution.

　Then there's the criticism of former chairman Kazuo Shii's erroneous views on China. Shii was a man of contradictions: he firmly opposed the war of aggression and atrocities committed by the former Japanese Empire against China, yet he also insisted on claiming the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands were Japanese territory and was critical of "human rights issues" like those in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

　Then, based on the understanding of Mao Zedong Thought and the proposal of Ibaraki Hana-sama, the meeting also decided to establish United Front Departments at all levels within the party, mainly to strengthen ties with other left-wing political party organizations or other progressive political party organizations in the country.

　There are two main reasons why the Japanese Communist Party set up the United Front Department. One is to win over the Japanese Social Democratic Party, and the second is to win over the Mikasa Nagato faction among the Japanese ship girls.

　The Social Democratic Party of Japan (SDP) ranks ahead of the Communist Party in terms of size, making it the third largest political party in Japan and a formidable political force. If the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) wants to launch a revolution, the SDP's political dynamics must be considered.

　From the perspective of the Marxist-Leninist theoretical system, social democracy has always been a revisionist ideology that everyone condemns. Many Marxist theorists in history have criticized it to varying degrees, among which Lenin's criticism was the harshest and most profound.

　On the other hand, although Lenin criticized social democracy very harshly in theory, in the course of revolutionary practice he clearly pointed out that a united attitude should be adopted towards the left wing and international faction within the Social Democratic Party.

　However, the Fifth Congress of the Communist International uncritically categorized the Social Democratic Party as a bourgeois political force. This change in attitude towards the Social Democratic Party ultimately led to its collaboration with anti-communist forces and the subsequent attacks and suppression of the Communist Party and the workers' movement.

　In order to learn from history, the Japanese Communist Party hopes that the Japanese Social Democratic Party will support it. Even if it does not support it, it hopes that it will be Plekhanov rather than Friedrich Ebert.

　[PS: Plekhanov was like a peacemaker, often wavering between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. But during the civil war, he sternly refused to join the White Army.

　Collaborated with the opposition to the Bolsheviks.

　During the November Revolution, Friedrich Ebert openly betrayed the revolution, sided with the bourgeois government, suppressed the workers' uprising, and murdered Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

　“…If you don’t want to walk in front, please follow the group; If you don’t want to follow the group, please watch from the sidelines; If you don’t want to watch from the sidelines, please shout online;

　If you can't do all of this, please sit back and enjoy the rights we've fought for you. We are not enemies, but friends, because what we're fighting for through armed struggle is not just for you, but for the rights that the working people long for." — Letter from Ibaraki Hanaogi, Chairperson of the Japanese Communist Party, to Mizuho Fukushima, current leader of the Social Democratic Party of Japan.

　In addition, regarding the Mikasa Nagato faction among the Japanese shipgirls, this faction is also very contradictory. Two years ago, they consulted Emperor Naruhito about political affairs, hoping that Emperor Naruhito could come forward to save the current Japan, and they would rather devote themselves to assisting in governing the country.

　However, Emperor Naruhito is not interested in politics, and under Japan's current constitution, the emperor is really just a mascot. His presence in the political arena is even less noticeable than that of the British king.

　Emperor Naruhito politely declined Mikasa and Nagato's request, and gave them a lecture, basically telling them that times have changed, it's the era of common people, and they should uphold the peace constitution and so on.

　Mikasa and Nagato, out of respect for the Emperor, reflected on their thoughts after returning. After several months of mental exhaustion, they finally decided to adapt to the times, uphold democratic politics, and oppose all acts and forces that undermine democracy.

　Recently, the Liberal Democratic Party reactionaries, led by Fumio Kishida, have been carrying out various political persecutions against the left and the left. Mikasa Nagato, based on the principle of democratic politics, firmly opposes the unreasonable political persecution of the Liberal Democratic Party and understands the armed struggle of the Japanese Communist Party.

　But this does not mean that Mikasa and Nagato support the political program of the Japanese Communist Party. They only believe that the Japanese Communist Party's armed resistance against the Liberal Democratic Party is forced and reasonable, and do not agree with the Japanese Communist Party's proposal to completely transform the state apparatus and move towards socialism.

　They believe that socialism is essentially a one-party system, which deprives other parties of their right to participate in politics and is a disguised oligarchy or dictatorship.

　Nagato and Mikasa's inner thoughts are that they support the Japanese Communist Party in its armed struggle out of justice, but if the Japanese Communist Party does not retain the multi-party system and the existing democratic politics after seizing power, they will use armed coup d'état to force the Japanese Communist Party to return to the "era of multi-party democratic politics."

　On the contrary, they will always support the Japanese Communist Party and work hard to be good defenders of Japan and servants of the people.

　Simply put, Mikasa and the Nagato faction support the JCP because they feel that he is being persecuted and that they should help him. However, if the JCP were to establish a one-party system, Mikasa and the Nagato faction would see that as undermining multi-party democracy and degenerating it.

　At this point, the Japanese Communist Party becomes a "bad boy" and should be "educated" until it admits its mistakes and corrects them. They are not against the Japanese Communist Party; what they oppose is the Japanese Communist Party's transformation of the state machinery to suit itself.

　Because Kongo and Mutsu secretly informed her, Hibiki was aware of Mikasa and Nagato's proposal. After she learned that the Party Central Committee had decided to cooperate with Kancolle, she was more worried that the Japanese Communist Party's regime would not be stable after the revolution.

　A gentleman should use words rather than violence, and if a peaceful resolution could be reached, Hibiki would be quite happy. She had publicly criticized Mikasa and Nagato for this kind of thinking, but it seemed to have little effect.

　Similarly, some members of the Japanese Communist Party's revolutionary faction also felt that cooperating with the Kanmusu was unwise, as they felt that after overthrowing the Liberal Democratic Party government, the Kanmusu would likely turn against them.

　Ibaraki Hanafu specifically pointed out these objections, criticizing them by saying, "We currently lack sufficient guns and cannot defeat the Self-Defense Forces under the Liberal Democratic Party on our own. This is the same reason why the Chinese Communist Party had to unite with the Kuomintang to fight Japanese imperialism, even though the Chinese Communist Party knew that the Kuomintang leaders did not really want to fight against Japan.

　Moreover, according to the report from Yokosuka, Mikasa and Nagato are only the overall leader of the KanColle on the surface, but in fact there are two factions and leadership cores within the KanColle. One of the factions is comrades like us.

　The comrades in Yokosuka have been in contact with those pro-communist shipgirls for some time, and both sides have a good impression of each other. These pro-communist shipgirls are our trump card for violent revolution against the Liberal Democratic Party, and in the event of a future rebellion by Mikasa and Nagato.

　Of course, Ibaraki Hanasou did not tell this comrade that the Japanese Communist Party had another biggest insurance outside the party - Eve.

　After hearing about Mikasa and Nagato's thoughts from Hibiki, Eve looked unconcerned. While savoring her warm and delicious matcha, she said casually:

　"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

　"Really? If it's so easy, why don't you just slaughter the LDP directly? Do you have to wait until Mikasa and Nagato are about to rebel?" Ibaraki Hanafumi complained.

　"It's very simple. Besides the old-fashioned theory of training, there's another important reason: the powerful shipgirl force is Japan's biggest military trump card. It should be used to deal with powerful deep-sea forces, rather than being consumed in endless internal fighting.

　You should be thankful that Deep Sea and the United States are fighting very fiercely right now. If Deep Sea's current progress in the United States were smoother, Deep Sea would be ready to land in Japan.

　Or... I don't mind giving myself a break. You can try to intervene yourself. I'm curious who will win if you and the ship girl fight? "

　Ibaraki Hana shrugged and jokingly said, "I don't think I can withstand another round of salvos from the battleship's main guns. Otherwise, Minamoto no Raikou wouldn't have been able to chop off my right arm with one blow."

　……

　In addition to dealing with its own internal party building and external mass work, the Japanese Communist Party also needs to strengthen its ties with other countries' Communist parties, such as the Chinese Communist Party, the Russian Communist Party, or the Workers' Party of Korea.

　Especially the Chinese Communist Party. When it comes to the history of the Chinese Communist Party and the Japanese Communist Party, it can be said that it is really commendable and regrettable.

　During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese Communist Party did many useful things to help the Chinese Communist Party. For example, Nosaka Sanzo once founded the Japanese Workers and Peasants School in the Yan'an revolutionary base to educate Japanese prisoners of war and promote Marxism-Leninism.

　Until Kenji Miyamoto came to power, relations between China and the Japanese Communist Party had always been good. After Kenji Miyamoto came to power, he abandoned the line of violent revolution. Due to policy issues, he broke with the Soviet Communist Party in 1964 and the Chinese Communist Party in 1966.

　Later, after Tetsuzo Fuwa became the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party, the relationship between the Chinese and Japanese Communist Parties was normalized, and the two parties resumed exchanges and interactions.

　In 2006, Tetsuzo Fuwa retired and Kazuo Shii came to power. Kazuo Shii's series of attitudes can be said to have wiped out all the achievements made during the Fuwa period in restoring relations with the Chinese Communist Party.

　Japan's basic national conditions, with a large population, limited land and resources, and industrial raw materials basically relying on imports, determined that it would be difficult for its violent revolution to occur without external material support.

　From a geographical perspective, the only two countries that can provide sufficient support to the Japanese Communist Party are the Russian Communist Party and the Chinese Communist Party. One can provide cheap fossil energy, and the other can provide a rich variety of cheap and comprehensive light and heavy industrial products.

　Therefore, whether from the perspective of practical interests or from the perspective of making up for historical regrets and upholding the ideal of internationalism and the great unity of the people of the world, it is very important to restore relations with the Communist Party of Russia and the Communist Party of China and to establish friendly relations with them.

　The Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party also realized this and began to prepare to contact the Chinese Communist Party to discuss relevant matters.

　However, due to the white terror in the country, the Japanese Communist Party was unable to directly go to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Japan to find someone, and could only find a way to make secret contact.

　Chapter 269 General Jin, please give the order!

　While white terror was prevalent in Japan and the Japanese Communist Party was actively preparing for revolution and contacting the Communist Parties of neighboring countries, the Korean Peninsula was also not at peace.
