It is Kokang and Changchun

　Just as planned, Akatsuki took a shortcut by breaking through the wall and easily captured all the officers. He tied them up with pre-prepared hemp ropes and locked them in the meeting room of the port headquarters.

　"Hiss... It still hurts a little. If an armored cruiser were to handle this kind of thing, maybe it would be better..." Xiao rubbed his slightly red and swollen arm, complaining softly.

　A little further behind Xiao, another mutinous sailor said with shame, "After breaking through so many walls, this is all you can do... I'm so envious."

　"After all, ships and people cannot be compared, unless you can travel through time and space to become a ship girl like in some fan fiction..." Another sailor holding a gun next to him shrugged and complained.

　……

　In the northern area of ​​Maizuru Port, Ayanami took the other two ship girls to seize the 21st Air Group Air Base to prevent the Maritime Self-Defense Force from launching helicopters to help suppress the rebellious sailors.

　Haruzuki and Hibiki went to the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Fourth Technical College and the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Maizuru Training School to recruit cadets. Haruzuki was in charge of the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Fourth Technical College, while Hibiki, who had a higher level of theoretical knowledge, was in charge of the Maizuru Training School.

　Practice proved that Xiang's understanding was correct, and Chunyue easily won over the military cadets from the Fourth Technical College.

　Many of these military academy students were already very dissatisfied with the current state of society. Now with their seniors (referring to the rebel sailors) and ship girls taking the lead, they have become bolder and are willing to support the uprising.

　In this respect, they are somewhat similar to the 226 group of Showa young players, but fortunately, their cognition is not as crazy and contradictory as their predecessors.

　The situation on the Maizuru Education Team's side was more complicated. Even when Xiang personally came out to argue, he only won over less than half of the people. The rest were either neutral or verbally opposed. Some radicals even wanted to have a big fight with the faction that supported the uprising.

　Therefore, Xiang had to deal with this mess of factional differences so as not to affect the process and outcome of the uprising.

　At this time, bad news came from the Asagiri. The mutinous sailors on the Asagiri failed to seize control of the warship and were at a disadvantage in the fight.

　After receiving the news, Xiao immediately rushed to the dock, intending to board the Asagiri to support the rebellious sailors.

　The Myoko stopped resisting because she was damaged by her own torpedo explosion, was hit by a torpedo from the Fuyutsuki, and was threatened by several remaining torpedo boats of the rebels.

　The remaining ship girls that left the port and went to the "Maizuru-Nandan" line to intercept were also deployed steadily.

　After they retrieved their unloaded ammunition from the ammunition depot, they immediately ran out of the port area as fast as possible, ran out of Maizuru, over the mountains and hills, looking for commanding heights or other advantageous positions to blockade the area.

　----------------

　After the sailors of the Maizuru Port uprising issued the uprising signal "Tomorrow is the day, yesterday is the day", the ship girls on the Osaka side responded.

　They responded to the uprising by emitting the short phrase "赤より紅い夢 (A dream redder than red)" in a targeted rather than full-frequency manner.

　Because it was sent to a specific person rather than a loud speaker, and because the ship girls' communications were highly confidential, the replies used by the ship girls on the Osaka side were very simple and easy to understand compared to the more abstract short sentences used by the mutinous sailors on the Maizuru side when they announced the revolution to the world.

　Then, the ship girls on the Osaka side split into two groups and launched an uprising simultaneously, and once again publicly sent the short sentence "Tomorrow is a happy day, yesterday is a happy day" to tell the ship girls on the Yokosuka side that it was time to prepare and wait for an opportunity to take over.

　The first group of shipgirls departing from Osaka went all the way to cut off the "Osaka-Nandan" line and join forces with the shipgirls from Maizuru. The second group went to capture the leader of the enemy and stormed the headquarters of the Central Army Group (Central Military Region) stationed in Itami City, capturing the senior officers of the Central Army Group.

　Chapter 291: Red Soul Like a Ghost Lantern

　Not long after Yokosuka received the signal of the Osaka Uprising, under the leadership of Mikasa and Nagato, the ship girls in Yokosuka Port cooperated with the mutinous sailors to rise up.

　Since there were more large ships on the Yokosuka side, the enemy sailors in Yokosuka Port collapsed very quickly, and most of them surrendered at the first opportunity.

　The rebel forces quickly took control of the entire Yokosuka Port and began to attack the city government, the city police station, and the agricultural product warehouses belonging to the agricultural cooperatives in the urban area.

　How could the city police withstand the combined attack of the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Kanmusu? They were quickly defeated, just like the reactionary sailors in Yokosuka Port who still sided with the Liberal Democratic Party.

　Thanks to the strong mobility of the ship girls, they arrived at the agricultural product warehouse shortly after the local agricultural cooperative transported the agricultural products to other places, and prevented the "strategic transfer" of the agricultural cooperative in time, successfully saving most of the agricultural products.

　Accompanying the rebellious Maritime Self-Defense Force sailors and shipgirls were many ordinary people who had been inspired by the uprising. The local Japanese Communist Party organization and the rebellious sailors seized the opportunity to tell the local people about the "shipgirls saving food" incident and promised the local people that they would "beat the farmers' cooperatives and distribute food."

　So some of the local people with higher consciousness began to take to the streets spontaneously under the encouragement of the ship girls and the uprising sailors, doing what they could.

　They used all their strength, including knives, guns, sticks and clubs, to engage in an unlimited fighting competition with the police.

　Prime Minister's Office, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo

　One urgent report after another came to Fumio Kishida like snowflakes, and every piece of news made his blood pressure soar.

　In less than two hours, Fumio Kishida received an overwhelming amount of information, and he immediately realized that he had seriously misjudged the previous situation.

　"I never expected it. I thought the biggest enemy was the Communist Party. Later, I banned the Communist Party, arrested their members, and raided their headquarters. But I found out that the biggest enemy is actually these women on the ship!

　I originally thought they were just a few with issues, so I deliberately separated them, but I didn't expect these bastard women on the ship to be traitors!"

　Fumio Kishida, seething with rage, turned to look at Deep Sea No. 690, who was silently watching him from the side. He calmed himself down and asked, "Why didn't you have any forewarning or intelligence regarding such a major event?"

　"We've tried our best." 690 expressed regret, "First, since the second half of last year, Admiralty Code has shifted its strategic focus to the United States. Many of us sisters have been transferred there, and we're currently short on manpower.

　Second, according to news from our local sisters, it has been confirmed that deep-sea pioneers outside the control of the Admiralty Code are becoming increasingly active in Japan.

　It is these deep-sea scouts, not belonging to our side, that have created considerable resistance to our intelligence work in Japan. We are still investigating where these deep-sea scouts, not belonging to our side, came from and who they are under the command of.

　"Can you send troops to support us and help us suppress the rebellion?" Fumio Kishida seemed a little lacking in confidence when facing the attack of hundreds of Japanese ship girls, and wanted to seek help from the deep sea.

　690 expressed his helplessness: "We'd love to, but unfortunately, all our naval, land, and air forces are currently engaged in the battle against the US. Furthermore, with the US fleet actively engaged in the battle, coupled with changes in US military tactics, we've suffered significant losses recently, and we're truly unable to get away."

　Kishida Fumio frowned and asked, "Don't you still have Yamato and Musashi? Let them come back and teach these non-national comrades a lesson."

　"Yamato and Musashi were nearly wiped out by two U.S. tactical hydrogen bombs not long ago, and are now recuperating. I can only say that this group of people revolted at just the right time..." 690 shook his head and said.

　At this moment, the door of the Prime Minister's office suddenly opened, and the person who came in was the current Defense Minister Yasuichi Hamada (the previous Minister Nobuo Kishi also retired in order to protect himself after Abe was assassinated and Yoshihide Suga resigned).

　"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the 12th Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Airborne Brigade, and the Kisarazu Airborne Brigade of the Ground Self-Defense Force have been dispatched to suppress the rebellion. Currently, the 1st Airship Brigade and the Kisarazu Airborne Brigade are engaging in firefights with the rebellious sailors!

　As for Maizuru and Osaka, we have already telegraphed the 3rd Division, 10th Division, 13th Brigade, and 14th Brigade to handle the situation. Furthermore, the Central Army Headquarters has just lost contact, and it is very likely that the headquarters has been breached by the ship girls, and the generals have been captured..."

　Fumio Kishida now feels a little powerless. He sorted out his thoughts and realized that the most important thing now is the ship girls in Yokosuka.

　"Damn it! Ah... Even if they are caught now, they can't be rescued for a while. Let's deal with the ship girls in Yokosuka first! What about those ship girls? How are they doing now?" Fumio Kishida was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and asked hurriedly.

　"According to intelligence, they're on their way to Tokyo, and they're very likely coming for us..." Hamada Yasushi said with some difficulty, "The 1st Division and the 1st Airborne Regiment have already begun deploying defenses in the southwestern part of Tokyo."

　Fumio Kishida shouted, "This number of people is not enough! We must use all our strength to suppress these shipgirls who have defected to the Red Bandits! Let the 6th and 9th Divisions of the Northeastern Army rush south to provide emergency assistance!"

　"If the 6th Division goes south, something might happen in Fukushima City. We have recently received reports of abnormalities in Fukushima City." No. 690 Deep Sea reminded.

　"Miss 690, you have to prioritize everything." Kishida Fumio sighed and said to No. 690:

　"Who's easier to deal with, a mob of rabble-rousers or a group of shipgirls? If something really goes wrong, Hokkaido can still dispatch the 11th Brigade to handle it."

　Hamada Jingyi said: "Uh, Prime Minister, perhaps this is not appropriate? The Red Russians are currently conducting large-scale live-fire military exercises around Hokkaido..."

　Kishida Fumio looked at the map, smiled contemptuously, and said, "The Red Russians are just pretending. Do they think I don't know that they want to attract our army's attention, tie us down, and relieve the pressure on the Red bandits in the country?

　Of course, this doesn't mean we should completely relax. After all, we don't know if the Red Russians think so. Therefore, most of our troops still need to be on guard. If we want to suppress the mob, the brigade is more than enough. "

　After saying this, a worried Fumio Kishida took a sip of coffee to refresh himself. He was about to talk about cultural promotion when he remembered that the Agency for Cultural Affairs began moving to Kyoto at the end of March this year and was expected to be completed by mid-May.

　"Damn it, why didn't I move earlier or later, but decided to move at that time!" Fumio Kishida blamed himself.

　The decision to relocate the Agency for Cultural Affairs to Kyoto

　, was the idea of ​​Fumio Kishida, who was motivated by a desire to meet the needs of his counterparts. Unexpectedly, this move made a month ago turned out to be an act of "letting the sheep into the wolf's mouth." (PS: The relocation of the Cultural Affairs Bureau to Kyoto is a real-life event.)

　Although the Ministry of Culture has not yet completely moved, most of the officials have already started working in Kyoto, and there are only a few staff members left in Tokyo.

　Then Fumio Kishida called the Director-General of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and explained the "Maizuru and Osaka Rebellion" to them, asking them to evacuate Kyoto immediately, and he would send the 3rd Division to escort them.

　After a while, Fumio Kishida called the editorial office of the Liberty Shimpo (the official newspaper of the Liberal Democratic Party), Kyodo News, and other media outlets closely related to the Liberal Democratic Party.

　"In addition to military matters, regarding cultural propaganda, the Japanese Communist Party and the rebel idiots must be portrayed as extremely vicious. These guys are essentially no different from the Red Army. And communist theory must also be criticized from beginning to end!" - Kishida Fumio's instructions to the official media.

　So, under the instructions of Fumio Kishida, the media with close ties to the Liberal Democratic Party government began to carry out various anti-communist propaganda in the Liberal Democratic Party-controlled areas, doing as much stigmatization as possible.

　Japan's Kyodo News immediately published a news report overnight, denouncing the mutinous sailors, Japanese ship girls, the Japanese Communist Party and other forces related to the uprising as "red souls like ghost lights."

　The news also reports that such entities are lingering on the Japanese archipelago, constantly misleading and poisoning the Japanese people. Such evil practices must be curbed.

　Takuma Ozawa, who was working underground in Fukushima, couldn't help but laugh out loud after receiving this news, and joked to his comrades:

　"Kyodo News is truly talented. They've localized the 'specter of communism' from The Communist Manifesto, giving us the euphemistic and elegant title of 'the red soul like a ghost lantern.'"

　Inoue was also amused and complained about Kyodo News' nickname. "It's hilarious! It makes us look like vengeful spirits. Why do the exploiting class always like to do these kinds of weird things?"

　Ozawa continued to smile at the news, then stood up and jokingly replied, "It doesn't matter. We're vengeful spirits, so what? We're just vengeful spirits carrying the grievances of the oppressed and exploited masses, specifically seeking out the bureaucrats and the wealthy."

　"Well said! Hahaha!" Everyone laughed and responded, finding it quite amusing that Ozawa cleverly deconstructed the LDP government's stigmatization of the Communist Party.

　---------------

　The 3rd Division Headquarters in Itami City, Kansai

　"Yes, yes, I understand! We will escort everyone from the Ministry of Culture back safely!" The commander of the 3rd Division responded to the news from Tokyo.

　After hanging up the phone, the 3rd Division Commander smiled and said to his deputy commander, "It's like searching for something that you've never found before, but it's all effortless! I was just worried about not having the necessary documents to join the uprising, and now here they are!"

　"It seems that Tokyo hasn't realized that we have turned from evil to good." The deputy division commander was very happy and said, "This is like shoveling sushi directly into our mouths!"

　"Sushi? In my opinion, Sukiyaki (Japanese beef hot pot) is more appropriate. There are more than 300 officials and clerks in the Ministry of Culture. This luxurious lineup is simply a pot of stew!" The division commander proposed a more appropriate metaphor and description.

　The division commander twisted his neck and gave the order: "Alright, pull out a regiment and prepare to go to Kyoto to pick up takeout and send the ship girls!"

　"Yes!"

　Chapter 292 Comrade Changchun is back!

　Near the end of April, the situation of the Russian Civil War became increasingly clear. The White Army was unable to organize effective resistance at the strategic level across the entire front, and the Soviet Union decided to return Changchun to China.

　On the night before she left Changchun, her fellow comrades and sisters from the same hometown held a farewell party for her.

　What? You said the Changchun aid to the Soviet Union wasn't a secret? Wouldn't this leak the secret?

　Ah, that was indeed the case at the beginning. Later, in order to allow Changchun to go to the front line, the Soviet Union applied to China to transfer Changchun to the front line to fight. Once Changchun was sent to the front line, it would definitely be exposed.

　Let’s not talk about whether the White Army soldiers will find that the guns in their hands can’t hit a certain infantryman on the opposite side. Let’s talk about the Red Army soldiers who fought with Changchun at that time. If they saw the bullet flying towards Changchun, instead of piercing and bleeding, it would ricochet with a "ding" sound, sparks flying, and the skin that was hit was just a little red, what would they think?

　So, it is difficult to control the opinions of many people, and it is impossible to hide things when there are too many people and too many eyes.

　As for China, considering that the United States has been kicked in the crotch and face by the deep sea for some time, it has no time to look west except for talking in public opinion, so it feels that it is okay to make it public.

　Anyway, at this juncture, the United States is unlikely to do any substantial harm to China except for condemnation, unless their domestic front no longer wants it.

　So, Changchun went to the front line openly and legitimately, fighting alongside his former comrades. After the secret was revealed, the young men in the army squad that Changchun had once led rushed to join him on the front line.

　"Oh my god, have I gained a bunch of little fans?" Changchun felt ashamed when he saw the soldiers in front of him offering gifts to him.

　Before returning to China, the Soviet warship girls who came to see Changchun off held a farewell party for Changchun. Considering that the Soviet-Russian civil war had not been completely settled, the farewell party was very simple and the food was all cheap.

　Common dishes.

　Lei Ming held Changchun's hand tightly, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Guokang, I'm very pleased that you still remember your hometown.

　I am deeply moved that you have come back from afar to support the revolutionary struggle. Now that you are gone, we two sisters don’t know when we will be able to meet again...”

　"It's okay, Sister Lei Ming. After the revolution is completely victorious, you can apply to the navy to be transferred to Vladivostok. Wouldn't it be convenient for us to meet then? Moreover, not only me, but also the other three sisters you miss day and night can be seen." Changchun comforted Lei Ming and told her that there will be a reunion in the mountains and rivers.

　"Vladivostok?" Lei Ming thought and said, "I'm not used to the accent of the Far East..."

　"It's okay, just listen more and learn more." Changchun looked at Lei Ming with a smile, "Sister, do you think my Far Eastern accent is too strong?"

　"When I called you before, my tone was very Far Eastern, but now it's much more standard," Lei Ming replied.

　Changchun explained the reason: "Hey, when I came here it was a secret. For confidentiality reasons, the Chinese side asked me to practice speaking standard English. I happened to be thinking the same thing at the time, so we hit it off immediately."

　"If it's for confidentiality reasons, now that your return to the Soviet Union to support the revolution has been made public, why do you still have to be so specific?" Lei Ming asked.

　"To take care of you~"

　"Ah, that's true..."

　Just when Changchun and Lei Ming wanted to continue chatting, a shout from not far away interrupted their conversation.

　"Guokang, Leiming! The singing session is about to begin! What are you still doing here? Come quickly!" He ran over quickly and informed Changchun and Leiming.

　The so-called singing session is that each ship girl sings a song to Changchun before leaving as a farewell song.

　Among the songs sung by everyone, there is the familiar "Katyusha", "Farewell to the Slavic Woman", "Singing of Turbulent Youth", "The Best Future" which are only known by those who have just got into the fandom, as well as "If You Are Lucky" and "The Warship is a Big Family" which can only be heard by veteran Su fans.

　"By the way, we need to record today's singing show and make it into album peripherals. How many rubles can it sell for?" Moscow whispered to the Red Caucasus next to him.

　The Red Caucasian glanced at Moscow, tapped his head with his finger, and said half-jokingly, "Don't think about money all the time. You're becoming like those European and American capitalists..."

　"Don't always exaggerate. Socialist construction also costs money. It's too early to eliminate the commodity economy now." Moscow complained in a low voice.

　When it was Zhdanov's turn, he took out an electric guitar and said, "I've been practicing electric guitar in my spare time lately. Today, let Comrade Kokang hear the results of my self-practice!"

　After saying this, Zhdanov adjusted the strings, and then the fingers of both hands began to coordinate in an orderly manner, plucking the strings flexibly. The electric guitar emitted an ethereal and soft melody, as if he was alone in the empty night sky.

　"I knew it!" Changchun was delighted when he heard the prelude, clapping his hands and saying happily, "It's 'Trāva у dоmа' (The Green Grass Beside the House)! As expected of Zhdanov! No wonder I was wondering why Comrade Zhdanov sang last~"

　The prelude played by Zhdanov gradually becomes smaller after 10 seconds and stops completely at 16 seconds. The fingers of Zhdanov's hands also stop and remain on the strings.

　The piano remained silent for only 4 seconds. At the 5th second, Zhdanov suddenly stood up and plucked the strings a little faster than before. The mixing of the electric guitar sound was obviously stronger than before.
