It is Kokang and Changchun

　In the recent extreme weather, although Typhoon Dusurui made landfall in the southeastern coastal areas, the various atmospheric circulation changes caused by its cyclone also affected the North China region.

　The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was particularly affected, with torrential downpours pouring down from day to night and back again. According to the Meteorological Bureau, this downpour was the heaviest in recorded history.

　Before the rainstorm arrived, the Central Weather Bureau made various forecasts and predicted rainfall data. However, when the rainstorm arrived, the actual rainfall was even greater than the most aggressive data from the weather bureau...

　Faced with the unprecedented floods caused by heavy rains, the firefighters, armed police and People's Liberation Army in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, at the command of the Central Military Commission, braved the rain and rushed to the disaster area to carry out the glorious mission of fighting floods and disaster relief and protecting the lives and property of the people.

　As an extraordinary force, the Kancolles naturally obeyed the dispatch of the Party Central Committee and followed Lao Lu to the front line of flood control to cooperate with disaster relief.

　During the rescue operation, the heavy rain not only soaked every soldier's camouflage uniform, but also soaked the hair and clothes of the ship girls.

　Changchun's once bright and smooth white hair, after absorbing the rain, stuck tightly to her scalp and back, and the whole boat looked like a drowned rat.

　Although the self-cleaning ability of the ship girls has a drying effect, in this heavy rain environment, they will be dry one second and wet again the next, so they just let the rain fall on them because they don’t want to bother.

　In addition, the other soldiers were all soaked, while the ship girls were as waterproof as nanomaterials. This phenomenon gave people a bad impression. Maybe the soldiers would not mind, but if some irresponsible marketing accounts and self-media targeted it and exaggerated it... you know.

　"Because we are here to fight the flood and provide disaster relief, not to cosplay at a comic exhibition, nor to participate in a beauty pageant." Anshan responded to the doubts of a rescued person.

　Of course, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. At this time when everyone should be united, there are also some internet celebrities who take advantage of the disaster to attract attention and traffic.

　At a rescue site in Zhuozhou, Hebei, Changchun discovered during the rescue that two people were pulling an old man into the accumulated water and no one knew what they were doing.

　Changchun, which has experience in disaster relief, can tell at a glance that these people are not real rescue workers, but a group of people posing for photos and putting on a show.

　She frowned slightly, walked forward, saluted, and asked, "Hello, comrade, which unit are you from? Are you a rescue worker?"

　"Yeah, didn't you see we were rescuing this old man?" The two internet celebrities heard someone calling them and answered while turning around to look.

　"Are you from the rescue team? Then tell us your detailed information. Which unit do you work for? Do you have the leisure to take pictures while you are a rescuer?" Changchun asked the two people in front of him seriously.

　"We are a spontaneous civilian rescue team and do not belong to any unit." At this time, the two people looked at Changchun, who was wearing a 21-type marine camouflage training uniform, and recognized that this was the existence often promoted by the government and military official media - KanColle.

　"Civilian rescue team?" Changchun stared at the two in front of him with suspicion and said, "Which civilian rescue team are you from? Have you reported to the relevant authorities?"

　Then one of the people who took the photo instantly felt envious and jealous. You know, Changchun has his own official account on Bilibili, with more than two million followers, while he only has a few hundred thousand followers on the larger platform Douyin.

　He suddenly had a twist of thought and fired off a barrage of questions at Changchun: "Don't you have official disaster relief videos? Doesn't the civilian rescue team count as rescue? Can't we record some footage while we're saving people?"

　Changchun sighed inwardly, thinking she might have encountered another unreasonable troublemaker today. She patiently explained, "I don't care whether you are a formal or spontaneous rescue team, whether you are participating in rescue or delivering supplies, you should report to the local emergency management department. Have you reported it?

　If you have any, please show us the relevant information you reported. This is not the department's intention to make things difficult for you. The department is responsible for the life safety of the rescuers and the rescued, so it is necessary to evaluate you.

　Are they professional?

　If you are not professional, not only will your own safety not be guaranteed when you go to the front line, but you may also delay professional rescue workers and even lose your precious life. At that time, the hostile forces will have more to blame.

　As for the official disaster relief videos, they were not sent by the rescue workers themselves, but were shot by reporters while ensuring their own safety and not interfering with the rescue workers and their work.

　You walk a few steps and then stop to change your poses to take pictures. I would like to ask, are there any normal rescuers who would stop to pose for pictures while rescuing people?

　You're lucky. A few days ago, some influencers were livestreaming on the highway, causing severe traffic jams. Let me remind you again: this is a flood relief operation, not a show for influencers.

　The man posing for the photo didn't expect Changchun to say so much, and his face turned red and white, but he didn't want others to see his defenses broken, so he started to talk incoherently: "After saying so much, isn't it still the case that the governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps?

　What do you mean it's not an internet celebrity show? Aren't you an internet celebrity too? I know you. You have two million followers on Bilibili, aren't you an internet celebrity too? What qualifications do you have to criticize us?

　And you are also a member of the People's Liberation Army, right? Isn't the People's Liberation Army a people's army? How can a people's army not allow the people to spontaneously rescue you? You, comrade, have a low level of consciousness!"

　Hearing this illogical and confusing remark, Changchun knew she had to prepare to take coercive measures, but she decided to use courtesy before force. "Comrade, Changchun is kindly reminding you that you are suspected of illegal behavior.

　Putting aside your staged photos at the rescue site, which interfered with the rescue effort, your subsequent distorted understanding of the PLA and the People's Army constitutes insult and defamation. According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, perpetrators bear criminal responsibility and are subject to criminal punishment. In serious cases, they may be sentenced to up to three years in prison, detention, controlled release, or deprivation of political rights.

　Therefore, for the sake of your future, I, Changchun, suggest that you put the old man down and hand him over to us. Then leave the scene quickly and safely, otherwise we will take compulsory measures against you according to law."

　The person posing for the photo not only showed no sign of backing off, but instead became aggressive and unruly, saying, "You...are you talking like a human? Oh, you're not human anyway...I get it, you're dragging us away just to steal the credit from the people!"

　Changchun saw that the photographer's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and he became a little angry. He said decisively: "Don't say I didn't warn you!" After that, while protecting the old man, he asked the two accompanying soldiers to pull the two photographers away, and then he and the other soldier took the old man to a safe place.

　The two people who were taken away by the PLA soldiers for taking photos kept crying out for injustice while being dragged away, saying things like "the PLA is bullying the people" and "the people's army is attacking the people". They were just shouting nonsense like the thief crying catch thief.

　The troubles Changchun encountered today are just a small part of the story. In Beijing, torrential rains overwhelmed water conservancy projects, forcing the city to open floodgates to release floodwaters into Hebei Province.

　This move drew a barrage of harsh criticism from netizens. The comments section of the video was littered with abstract language, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

　Some people described this wave of flood discharge as "Beijing protecting itself at the expense of Hebei", accusing the country of "sacrificing the car to save the driver", "ignoring the safety of life and property of the people of Hebei", and using Hebei as a "sewer" just to "protect Beijing".

　They also tried to elevate this issue to the level of development contradictions between Beijing and Hebei, and forcibly attributed the severe damage in Zhuozhou, Hebei to Beijing's flood discharge, with the intention of exacerbating internal conflicts among the people in the regions.

　As soon as this statement was made, foreign anti-China media followed suit and hyped up this fake news, even spreading rumors that the Lugou Bridge was washed away by floods.

　This specious statement immediately triggered a rebuttal from some rational netizens: "If you open a map and look at the terrain of Beijing and Hebei, you wouldn't be so foolish as to think that releasing floodwaters is to 'protect Beijing'.

　You say that it is to protect Tianjin and Langfang, forget it. Beijing is surrounded by mountains to the north and southwest. The only direction left for flood discharge is from Zhuozhou (southwest) to Langfang (southeast). The terrain in this area is lower than Beijing, so the flood is bound to flow here.

　Unless you can dig reservoirs tens or hundreds of meters deep around Beijing before the flood forms to keep all the water inside Beijing, releasing the floodwaters will not protect Beijing. Deliberately promoting this trend or believing this statement is truly foolish and evil.

　Some netizens also tried to correctly explain how Zhuozhou was flooded, in order to clear Beijing of this unwarranted "Dou E injustice."

　"... Beijing's flood discharge has little to do with Zhuozhou. Beijing's water mainly flows through the Yongding River, passing through Langfang and Tianjin and then flowing east into the sea. This is the main direction of Beijing's flood discharge. This is not the same direction as Zhuozhou.

　Some people say that there is a Xiaoqing River in the west of Beijing that flows to Zhuozhou. The Yongding River discharged floodwaters, causing the flood area to overflow and the Xiaoqing River floods to rush into Zhuozhou, causing Zhuozhou to be flooded. This is also inaccurate.

　As mentioned before, the flood discharge was primarily targeted at Langfang. The Xiaoqing River is narrow, and its runoff is typically at canal level. Even if the Yongding River flood discharge impacted the Xiaoqing River, it would not likely cause the kind of flooding seen in Zhuozhou.

　The Xiaoqing River flows down from Beijing and mainly joins the Baigou River. The main flooded area of ​​Zhuozhou is in the northwest of the city, in the opposite direction of the Xiaoqing River and the Baigou River. Therefore, the Xiaoqing River cannot be the main cause of the flooding in Zhuozhou.

　The official also released the news.

　There was no flood discharge into the Xiaoqing River. Therefore, the Xiaoqing River is not even the cause, let alone the main cause.

　Rather than the Xiaoqing River being to blame, the primary cause is likely the Dashi River. The Dashi River flows south from Fangshan District, Beijing, towards Zhuozhou. The recent rainfall in Fangshan District, Beijing, caused particularly heavy flooding, which caused the Dashi River to surge, sending floodwaters southward into Zhuozhou. These two factors play a direct and significant role in the flooding of Zhuozhou.

　Since Beijing's Fangshan District has a karst topography, this landform is not suitable for the construction of large reservoirs and dams - this landform cannot store water; this determines that it is impossible to build a large reservoir to store flood water in the Dashi River Basin in Beijing's Fangshan District.

　In this situation, wouldn't the water flow unimpeded and rush straight down to Zhuozhou if a torrential downpour arrived? If there were a decent-sized reservoir in the Dashi River Basin in Fangshan, Beijing, and it opened its gates to release water, that would be called flood discharge. Natural runoff is called flood control.

　It is really ridiculous to say that Beijing deliberately released floodwaters to inundate Zhuozhou for self-protection. This place doesn't even have a large reservoir, so how could there be any talk of intentional flood release?

　The Dashi River's continued existence is only the second most important reason for Zhuozhou's flooding. The primary cause is the flooding of the Beijuma River caused by heavy rain. The Beijuma River's situation is similar to that of the Dashi River. There are no large reservoirs upstream, and the karst topography, combined with the Dashi River, creates a flood channel, leading to the flooding of Zhuozhou.

　-----------------

　After several days and nights of arduous fighting, the most critical situation was finally over. When the floodwaters mostly receded, the remaining post-disaster work could be fully handled by humans. The ship girls, having completed their mission, also returned to Qingdao.

　Changchun's home in a residential area in Qingdao

　At this moment, Changchun was leisurely lying on the comfortable big bed with her arms supported, browsing her phone. Her pair of beautiful feet crossed and swayed back and forth, showing her comfort.

　During the flood relief work, Changchun was soaked and her limbs were covered in mud. If you ignore her appearance and figure, she looked like a farm girl living in the countryside.

　Now she was lying on the bed, her body white and clean, spotless, like an extremely exquisite work of art just out of a workshop, which was breathtaking.

　"Comrade Zhan, Changchun encountered a very speechless thing a few days ago. What do you think of these people?" Changchun took out his mobile phone and typed a private message to Comrade Zhan about what he had encountered a few days ago (that is, the story in the first half of this chapter).

　Generally speaking, only fans of the KanColle game will send private messages to KanColle, and if KanColle takes the initiative to chat with someone who sends a private message, it is a rare event in the circle and something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

　Because it means you're a bit interesting in the eyes of the Kanmusu. And this person, known as Comrade Zhan by Changchun, is one of those lucky ones. Not only did they start chatting, but they've been chatting for over a year now.

　If a ship girl finds someone interesting during a chat, what does it mean if she has been chatting with someone for a year?

　Chapter 326 Falling in Love with Trains

　In mid-July, the Japanese Communist Party held a meeting to discuss the priority of liberating the five counties in China, and began to deploy troops and formulate an offensive plan.

　The Liberal Democratic Party also knew the importance of the Seto Inland Sea industrial belt. The 4th and 8th Divisions of the Western Army and the local 13th Brigade worked together to build fortifications and deploy defenses in the city on the front line between the Chinese region and the Japanese Communist Party liberated area.

　However, the location of the Self-Defense Forces' fortifications and troop deployments had long been seen inside and out by the white-haired guys. They even knew exactly where the rice these Self-Defense Forces soldiers ate every day was produced and how much water was used to cook it.

　Thus, in this situation where the opponent had exposed their cards but they were still unaware of it, the first wave of attack by the ship girls and the human forces of the Revolutionary Army broke through the key point of the Self-Defense Forces' defense line.

　Especially in the central mountainous area, after breaking through the defense line, the ship girls ran across the mountains at full speed. In this mountainous environment, the ground Self-Defense Forces could not catch up at all, and the ship girls were like a no-man's land.

　Airborne and land-based forces could pursue them, but finding the stragglers in the densely covered mountains was no easy task, especially since each of them was a humanoid warship.

　For Self-Defense Force helicopter pilots, sometimes when you are flying, suddenly a line of anti-aircraft barrage appears out of the bushes in your blind spot and flies towards you without any warning, and it is too late to dodge.

　When the other helicopters reacted and fired rockets in the direction of the barrage, they didn't hit anything except knocking down a bunch of trees - the enemy had already fled as soon as they finished firing.

　Some Self-Defense Force pilots flew at a low altitude in order to better find their targets, and were eventually shot down by the Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft guns of the ambushing ship girls.

　As an anti-aircraft gun that is ridiculed by everyone among military enthusiasts, it was actually able to shoot down several armed helicopters today. This is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for the Self-Defense Forces' ground aviation and air assault pilots.

　In this way, in just half a month, the Revolutionary Army advanced more than 70 kilometers westward relying solely on the intelligence of the White-haired Tuanzi and the KanColle, liberated most of Tottori Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture, and captured two general regiments of the 13th Brigade of the Ground Self-Defense Force, nearly 2000 Self-Defense Force soldiers.

　During the half-month battle, aircraft carriers played an extremely important role. Compared with gunboats, they could stand farther away from the front line more safely and provide close support.

　且航

　On the battlefield, the mother ship can cover many more directions than the gunboat. The powerful concealment and reconnaissance and attack capabilities of the mother ship's carrier-based aircraft effectively cover and assist the attacks of the gunboats and the revolutionary army.

　When Kyoto received information about Okayama's heavy industrial facilities, Ibaraki Hanafugi smiled with relief and said to his fellow Politburo members, "That's why I emphasized that the liberation of the Seto Inland Sea industrial belt must be swift.

　The LDP began relocating Okayama Prefecture's industry shortly before we entered the prefecture. Now that we've liberated most of Okayama Prefecture, comparing data reveals that the LDP has only withdrawn about 20% of its heavy industry during this period.

　If we attack slowly, by the time we capture Okayama Prefecture, the local heavy industry will have almost completely moved away. If we attack quickly now, excluding what was destroyed by the Self-Defense Forces' retreat, we can still use 50% of it directly. If we attack slowly, we might just end up with empty factories."

　Okayama and Kurashiki are the two largest cities in the prefecture, and both are now in the hands of the Japanese Communist Party. The Mizushima Rinkai Industrial Zone in Kurashiki, with its iron and steel and petrochemical complexes as its mainstay, is the center of the Setouchi Industrial Zone.

　These are important strategic resources needed for the war. Although a considerable number of facilities in the Mizushima Coastal Industrial Zone were destroyed by the Self-Defense Forces before their withdrawal, fortunately some of the equipment can be produced in Kansai.

　The remaining equipment that the base couldn't produce on its own was repaired if it could, and other methods would be found for repairing the rest. At least it was much better than the Mariupol Steel Plant, which was reduced to ruins during the Russo-Ukrainian War, and at least basic production could be restored.

　Originally, Ibaraki Hanaogi wanted to entrust Eve to ask her to go find Kawajo Katori again to see if the equipment in the Mizushima Industrial Zone could be repaired. However, after thinking about it, she decided to forget it, as Fukushima needed Kawajo Katori more than Kansai.

　She felt that the Mizushima Coastal Industrial Zone wasn't completely disabled, it was just that its production efficiency was slightly lower than before the war. Furthermore, considering the strength and level of modern Japanese industry, even if it suffered a certain degree of war damage, it had sufficient self-recovery capabilities. It wasn't like the impoverished China of the past, so why would it constantly be asking for foreign aid?

　You know, Ibaraki Hanasu knew what kind of person Kawajo Hetori was. Her things and skills were good, but without enough money, there was no way you could hire her.

　So the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party began to formulate relevant plans. The core of the plan was to mobilize the existing forces in the base areas and the forces in the areas liberated in the future revolutionary war to produce equipment that could not be repaired and had to be replaced.

　After a period of tinkering and actual testing, it was found that although the equipment produced by these bases is somewhat lower than the original equipment in the Mizushima Coastal Industrial Zone in terms of production efficiency and energy conservation and emission reduction, at least it will not fail and hinder production.

　Furthermore, the resumption of production at the Mizushima Coastal Industrial Zone faces certain logistical challenges. As can be seen from a map of Japan, the transport of raw materials and finished products from the industrial zone cannot be carried out by sea, and must instead be carried out by rail.

　Taking the road? Anyone who has studied logistics and warehousing or has related experience, as well as those who have played city construction and industrial construction games, should know that the transportation capacity of roads is completely incomparable to that of railways, and it is simply unable to meet the logistics needs of large industrial areas.

　Freight that previously traveled by sea has now shifted entirely to rail, instantly doubling the pressure on rail transport and significantly increasing the frequency of commuter trains, locomotives, and freight cars. This poses another challenge to the Japanese Communist Party's rail transport management capabilities.

　Fortunately, this is the second time the Japanese Communist Party has faced this challenge. The first time was in Kobe, when the Japanese Communist Party took over and nationalized Kawasaki Heavy Industries headquarters and its factories and prepared to resume production.

　When preparing to resume production, the Japanese Communist Party also faced the problem of switching all sea transportation to rail transportation. Since it was the first time it faced a major rail transportation problem, its performance was not perfect.

　Although the factory eventually restored the incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products, successfully resuming production, industry insiders believe the entire process has many areas that warrant criticism.

　This time, as the Mizushima Coastal Industrial Zone resumed production, the JCP used the Kobe experience and lessons as a case study and actively corrected and improved its shortcomings. Although there are still some shortcomings, it is much better than the Kobe incident.

　Regarding the changes in logistics and the demand for additional locomotives and carriages, the Japanese Communist Party mainly used well-maintained and still operational old locomotives from various vehicle depots. Even the cars in various railway museums became the objects of requisition.

　This move does not mean that the base does not have the ability to produce rail vehicles; there are currently two rail vehicle factories in the Kansai Revolutionary Base, namely the Osaka Neyagawa Vehicle Factory, the Osaka Midoriki Vehicle Factory and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Vehicle Company.

　Therefore, the Japanese Communist Party did this out of consideration to increase the number of commuter trains as quickly as possible in a short period of time, choosing to use old cars instead of manufacturing new ones.

　It takes a month to build a new engine, but it takes much less time to put an old car back into service. Unless the car is in very bad condition, it will always take less time to repair the car than to build a new engine.

　Of course, the three rail vehicle factories in the base are also busy. They mainly produce freight cars that are matched with the nature of the goods, such as open cars, covered cars, tank cars, flatbed cars, hopper cars, etc.

　This decision of the Japanese Communist Party has attracted a lot of railway fans in Japan, because it means that they can take pictures of those old trains that have been retired from active service, which is very exciting for railway fans.

　.

　There is a very popular saying among Chinese railway fans: "Once the shutter is pressed, the train service is interrupted; if an accident occurs, the case will be handed over to the law." This statement is more or less exaggerated, but it reflects the Chinese Railway's relatively strict attitude towards such behavior.

　It’s not that photography is not allowed, but some railway fans, in pursuit of the best shots or visual effects for videos and photos, often run to a distance close to the tracks to take photos, which is very dangerous.

　Due to the developed railway culture, there are more railway fans taking pictures of trains in Japan than in China. These fans even compete with each other for the best shooting positions, thus crossing the yellow line, causing headaches for station staff.

　When it comes to risking their lives, no one can compete with Japanese rail fans.

　If they are inside the train, the station staff will try their best to dissuade them from taking photos and ask them to stay away from the train to ensure their own safety. But if they are in the wild or in the suburbs, there is nothing they can do.

　Anyway, the driver is not responsible if someone is killed while the train is running. I can only wish these railway fans safety and don’t wait until they are hit by a train and meet Shiki Eiji before they regret it.

　Eve, who had just returned from China two days after negotiating with Chunhu, learned about this incident after returning to Japan. She found it interesting and planned to continue observing.

　"What a great work! This game is also a reflection of the developed railway culture in Japan." Eve also plays video games in her spare time. Today she started a visual novel game called "Love Trains". She felt that the plot was good at first and praised it continuously.

　At this moment, she suddenly thought of the Soviet Union's Milia (An-225). She had repaired it on a whim using her ability, but who knew that it would turn out to be an airplane girl.

　"Wait... could it be..." Eve, thinking this, glanced at her hand. Under her control, the outline of her hand glowed faintly blue, then dissipated.

　Then she looked up again, at the heroine "86" of "Love Trains" on the computer screen, and thought, "I remember the first 8620 steam locomotive was retired in 1962 and placed on static display in Ome Railway Park in Ome City, Tokyo, right..."

　Eve had a playful thought in her heart, thinking of going to Tokyo to do something. "If this is the case with a super-large transport plane, who knows what will happen to a train?"
