It is Kokang and Changchun

　The main force of the Self-Defense Forces is concentrated on the Eastern Front, especially the elite troops in Hokkaido that are fighting against the Soviet Union. Since the Japanese Communist Party decided to give priority to the Western Front two months ago, nearly half of the ship girls have been transferred to fight on the Western Front.

　This has led to the Japanese Communist Party currently being primarily defensive on the Eastern Front, lacking effective strategic offensive capabilities. The possibility of a strategic offensive can only be discussed after the dust settles on the Western Front and the revolutionary army and ship girls from the Western Front return to the Eastern Front.

　During this period, the Japanese Communist Party's eastern front retreated partially, and the Self-Defense Forces pushed back. After all, they had transferred their elite troops, prepared for two or three months, and had air superiority, so it was impossible for the Self-Defense Forces not to push back.

　In the real world, Ukraine faced the Russian army's well-prepared defense line. Although the whole battle was very bad and far from expectations, there were still some local breakthroughs.

　Hard work pays off, and if you work hard, you'll definitely reap rewards. Otherwise, how will you get through? But whether the gains outweigh the losses is worth it is another matter.

　Thanks to the support and defense of the ship girls, especially the air strikes of the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier ship girls, the Self-Defense Forces attacking the eastern line of defense of the base suffered more than three times the casualties of the Revolutionary Army.

　The combat effectiveness of the ship girls has become a nightmare for many Self-Defense Force soldiers since the outbreak of the revolution.

　The revolutionary army and the ship girls on the Eastern Front currently have only one mission - to defend and hold the line until the battle on the Western Front is settled, or until the training of the new round of mobilized troops in the base is completed.

　----------------

　Although Japan was in revolution, the LDP-ruled areas still enjoyed the sweet pleasure they deserved.

　For the Liberal Democrats, once Australian agricultural products are imported, people will be able to eat to a certain extent, and when they are full, they will pursue cultural entertainment. Using pacifiers can divert people's attention and alleviate their reflection on reality, so why not do it?

　Therefore, Japan's entertainment-related industries were not greatly affected by the revolutionary war. Similarly, due to this, the sixth anniversary celebration of the Japanese server of Azur Lane was not interrupted by the war.

　In the Kansai Revolutionary Base Area, the Japanese Communist Party-led base government built a firewall. However, unlike China's firewall, the Japanese Communist Party's firewall could directly connect to the external network, but some inappropriate content would be selectively filtered out by the Internet Information Office.

　This kind of technology requires very high standards and is extremely troublesome, otherwise China would not have built a wall to cut off access to the Internet.

　All this was thanks to the generous help of White-haired Tuanzi and Eve, which enabled the base's cybersecurity department to acquire such technical capabilities. This not only preserved the lives of the people in the base, but also prevented all kinds of reactionary and decadent information from infecting the general public.

　Generally speaking, non-political content that does not violate social norms is viewed the same way by people in the base areas and those in the LDP-ruled areas. Therefore, the information about the sixth anniversary of the Kanb Japanese service is displayed identically on both sides.

　"It's a good drawing. It captures Chu Yue's temperament very well!" Chu Yue was browsing her phone while taking a rotation break in the rear area. When she saw that she was going to be included in the Japanese server's sixth anniversary event, she was extremely excited.

　"After we conquer the whole country, Chu Yue will definitely treat Teacher Nekojira to good food and wine!" After Chu Yue said this, he picked up a pistol leg and took a gulp.

　Her four canine fangs, slightly sharper than those of humans, first pierced the crispy breadcrumb chicken skin, leaving four holes. Following closely behind, her upper and lower rows of teeth effortlessly tore off a large piece of chicken thigh meat and leg bone.

　After swallowing it, Chu Yue picked up a bottle of soju next to him, tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp, without changing his expression. He drank this glass of wine that was enough to make any human smack their lips.

　After drinking, Chu Yue tilted his head back and closed his eyes. The pair of gray-white horns standing tall on his head emitted a scattered, blurred highlight under the light.

　She exclaimed happily, "Hehehe, drinking wine and eating meat is priceless. Wine and meat are truly the perfect match!"

　Sitting across from Hatsuyue was Asanagi. After finishing another piece of fried tofu and a mouthful of rice, Asanagi said, "Huh, this sixth anniversary, Manju is just playing a meme, right?! Giving my portrait to an artist with the same name as me, this must be intentional!"

　"Senior Asanagi, I don't think there's anything wrong with this." Chu Yue thought Huang Ji did a great job, and after putting down the wine bottle, she looked at him patiently with her blood-red eyes.

　The man stared at Asanagi intriguingly.

　She continued, "Senior, in every way, is incredibly compatible with the characters that artist often draws. It also happens to be the same name as the artist's stage name. It would be a shame for Manju not to play with the meme..."

　"What...what! Chu Yue, do you believe that I will punch you in the stomach for what you said?! Let you know how powerful the senior is!" Asanagi slapped the table lightly, trying to calm Chu Yue down.

　Chu Yue, who had long been accustomed to the senior's appearance as a female ghost, was no longer convinced. She said, "Senior, can you make your expression more tense and ferocious? That way it will be exactly like the original drawing that the artist gave to Manjiu."

　"Why are you still making jokes? You unscrupulous junior really need a lesson! Watch my fight!" Asanagi stood up suddenly, and before she finished her words, she was ready to swing her pink fist at Chu Yue without saying a word.

　Chu Yue didn't say anything, but took out a large bag of dumplings and a large bag of fried tofu, using them as a shield, and said humorously: "This is a little gift from the younger generation..."

　It happened so quickly. Asanagi saw her favorite food and abruptly stopped her fist. Her fist was less than half a centimeter away from the packaging. If Asanagi had withdrawn her fist a little later, the fried tofu and dumplings would have been smashed/flattened.

　"You...ah, forget it...you are quite considerate. I am a magnanimous person and will let you go this time!" Faced with fried tofu and dumplings, Asanagi still let his "rebellious" junior go.

　Then she snatched the fried tofu and dumplings from Chu Yue's hands, but her face still had the tsundere expression of a little devil, "Thank you this time."

　"So we can play with the joke now?" Chu Yue asked again.

　"Get out!" The little fox Asanagi got angry again.

　I have an important exam this Saturday.

　As the title says, I'm out of town this Saturday and have a very important and challenging exam. I can't update this week because I have to study. I'll update after I get back from the exam. (Update next Monday.)

　Thank you all for your support and understanding.

　Chapter 341: Virtuous Advice Can Only Dissuade Virtuous People

　On August 31, 2023, Lee Jae-myung announced an indefinite hunger strike to protest the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's "destruction of democracy" and other "tyrannical" actions. Lee Jae-myung also demanded that the Yoon Seok-yeol administration clearly state its opposition to Japan's release of contaminated nuclear water into the sea and apologize to the people for the damage to people's livelihoods.

　The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea paid close attention to Lee Jae-myung's movements. For the sake of overall stability, Kim Jong-un extended an olive branch to him, requiring the People's Army on the front line to bring Lee Jae-myung back and provide him with appropriate medical treatment and health recovery.

　After the liberation of Seoul, the North Korean side was still a step slow and failed to find Lee Jae-myung who was on a hunger strike and transfer him to a hospital in the liberated area for treatment.

　So where did Lee Jae-myung go?

　Originally, when Lee Jae-myung was on hunger strike in Seoul, he did not want to withdraw southward with the Yoon Seok-yeol government and the South Korean military. However, under Yoon Seok-yeol's special order, the South Korean military kicked down the door and forcibly took Lee Jae-myung away during his hunger strike.

　As the saying goes, "When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reasoning." Even though the people around Li Zaiming tried their best to stop him, they were helpless because the other side had guns. Although they wanted to dissuade him, they were powerless and Li Zaiming was still forcibly taken away.

　After learning that Li Zaiming had been brought back, Yin Xiyue revealed a sly smile, "Aren't you very good at fasting? Well, today I want to see how capable you are. It would be meaningless if you were taken away by Beikui before you even reach your limit."

　Lee Jae-myung, who was forcibly brought back, continued his unyielding hunger strike. When the South Korean public learned that Lee Jae-myung was still on hunger strike, they expressed concern and urged him to take care of his health and stop needlessly sacrificing it.

　When Moon Jae-in knew Lee Jae-myung was going to continue, he couldn't sit still anymore, because he had also gone on a hunger strike before, but he only lasted ten days. Lee Jae-myung actually lasted twenty days, what kind of pain must he have endured!

　"Lee Jae-myung is a real man, but a man like Yoon Seok-yeol definitely can't be moved by a hunger strike... As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood. I have to go and persuade Lee Jae-myung."

　He immediately decided to plan a visit to Lee Jae-myung in the hospital on his schedule for tomorrow to persuade him to stop the hunger strike and prepare for a long battle.

　On September 19, after attending an event in Gwangju, Moon Jae-in went to the hospital to visit Lee Jae-myung who was hospitalized due to a hunger strike.

　After Moon Jae-in arrived at the hospital and got off the car, he found that there were many people near the hospital who were concerned about Lee Jae-myung's health. Their faces were full of worry about Lee Jae-myung and grief towards Yoon Seok-yeol.

　Afterwards, he visited Lee Jae-myung in the ward.

　The moment the ward door opened, Lee Jae-myung on the hospital bed looked completely different from the photos he had taken earlier. His face was haggard, his cheeks were thin, and his beard, which hadn't been trimmed for several weeks, gave him an extra visual impact.

　Moon Jae-in was deeply saddened to see his once close comrade in this state. His face was heavy with emotion, and there was even a hint of moisture in his eyes.

　Moon Jae-in held Lee Jae-myung's left hand tightly with his right hand and stroked his hair. He sadly advised Lee Jae-myung: "Jae-myung, stop here. If you continue like this, your life will really be in danger. Facing Yoon Seok-yeol, we must prepare for a long battle."

　"No..." Li Zaiming said weakly: "My determination is not only expressed to Yoon Seok-yeol, but also to the people of South Korea. I feel that the world is collapsing, so I have no choice but to go on a hunger strike..."

　Lee Jae-myung may have been malnourished due to hunger strike, which made his brain a little confused.

　The words were a bit inconsistent. But Moon Jae-in still understood the general meaning of what Lee Jae-myung wanted to express, and he continued to persuade:

　"Although I don't want to think this way, I have a hunch. Given Yoon Seok-yeol's personality, not only will he not be moved, he's likely to take advantage of you. I sincerely hope you stop your hunger strike and take care of yourself.

　Don't underestimate yourself. You actually have better options. When I came here just now, there were many people supporting you at the hospital entrance. It can be seen that you are not alone. Many people feel sad for your experience, so you have to cheer up again..."

　While Moon Jae-in was talking with Lee Jae-myung, Yoon Seok-yeol learned that Moon Jae-in was visiting Lee Jae-myung, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the number of the Supreme Court.

　After the call was connected, Yoon Seok-yeol said calmly, "Hello? Is this the Supreme People's Procuratorate? You can apply for the arrest of Lee Jae-myung. I'll just give a heads-up to the court. We're all on the same side anyway. Um... OK, fine, that's it."

　The next day, September 21, South Korean prosecutors requested the court to approve the arrest of Lee Jae-myung on suspicion of dereliction of duty, embezzlement, and bribery, and the request was approved by President Yoon Seok-yeol.

　That afternoon, the South Korean National Assembly held a plenary session and passed a motion approving the arrest of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party, with 149 votes in favor, 136 votes against, 6 abstentions, and 4 invalid votes.

　Park Kwang-eun, the floor representative of the Democratic Party of Korea, and others had very heavy expressions after the plenary session of the National Assembly voted to approve the arrest of Lee Jae-myung. Facing the smiling parliamentary representatives of the People Power Party, they wanted to shoot them directly.

　After the meeting, Park Kwang-eun (Democratic Party of Korea's parliamentary representative) angrily cursed in his office: "This is completely a deliberate attempt to take advantage of someone's misfortune! Yoon Seok-yeol, you bastard! I'm going to BEEP! (Expletive masked)"

　What made Park Kwang-eun even angrier was that in the vote in the National Assembly just now, 29 of his party’s representatives actually turned against him and voted in favor. It seemed that the enemy was instinctively... Oh no, the enemy was at the headquarters, right?

　You should know that it was these 29 votes of betrayal that led to the passage of the bill to arrest Lee Jae-myung. Turning one's head outward is already a heinous act, and this kind of behavior, which has irreversible consequences, is even more intolerable.

　There are no factions within the party; there are many different opinions. The Democratic Party of Korea is not a monolithic group. The leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea, represented by the "pro-myeong faction" (those close to party leader Lee Jae-myeong), announced on the 22nd that any party members who voted in favor of Lee Jae-myeong's detention at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 21st would be investigated and punished as "acts that harm the party."

　The party's top committee member Zheng Qing rebuked the party: "They (referring to party members who voted in favor) betrayed their own party leader. This behavior is intolerable. We must take corresponding measures!"

　As a staunch pro-Myung sympathizer, Chung Chung-rae exercised his party leadership authority on Lee Jae-myung's behalf after his hunger strike. At the meeting, Chung Chung-rae stated, "For a member of the same party to betray their own leader is tantamount to colluding with the enemy."

　Pro-Myong lawmaker Zheng Chenghao also wrote on social media, "Those who harm the interests of the party cannot be forgiven." In addition, some supporters also proposed "punishing traitors" and "ending their political careers."

　Furthermore, the pro-Myung faction has drawn up an "arbitrary" list of members, demanding they resign from the party. The Democratic Party of Korea's constitution stipulates that serious violations of party directives, decisions, or interference with party affairs can result in expulsion, a severe measure. Therefore, this demand by the pro-Myung faction has some basis in the party constitution.

　However, this is also a manifestation of the internal strife within the Democratic Party. If Lee Jae-myung is arrested, it will further weaken the unity of the Democratic Party, and if things go wrong, it may even lead to division.

　That evening, seeing that the situation was hopeless, the leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea, South Korea's largest opposition party, in the National Assembly resigned collectively, and the party's general secretary also expressed his intention to resign.

　When Ulsan and other ship girls saw a series of recent news related to South Korean politics, they were no longer surprised by the current state of South Korean politics. They became more convinced that their decision to defect from South Korea was the right one.

　Upon hearing the news, Kim Jong-un felt pity for Lee Jae-myung and anger at Yoon Seok-yeol's actions. However, this anger was laced with a sense of relief; Yoon Seok-yeol's accelerator pedaling was undoubtedly a political propaganda tool for North Korean propaganda agencies, criticizing the South Korean regime.

　Compared with the front-line war situation in North Korea and the internal affairs of the South Korean puppet regime, Kim Jong-un’s biggest headache at the moment is how to deal with the cultural impact of the newly liberated areas?

　If it were Kim Jong Il, it would be pure, cold, one-size-fits-all action. Contemporary China's one-size-fits-all approach pales in comparison to Kim Jong Il's. Perhaps only China's cultural machete during the Cultural Revolution can rival Kim Jong Il's.

　Kim Jong-un is well-educated and can accept many new forms of cultural expression, but he is also afraid that North Korean citizens will be corrupted, which is why he is conflicted.

　He believes that just because he can withstand the glitz and glamour of capitalism, that doesn't mean the vast majority of North Koreans can. Debating how to handle cultural issues, Kim Jong-un chain-smoked for two days and two nights without sleep.

　Finally, he decided to first ban those decadent bourgeois cultures in the newly liberated areas, such as pornography, gambling, and drugs, songs with vulgar lyrics, and propaganda that advocated capitalist socialism.

　Science books, Korean dramas that are out of touch with the masses, etc.

　As for the network in the newly liberated areas, the North Korean government's network technology department will collect information and data from local residents on the external network, disconnect from the external network, and connect to the Kwangmyong Network within North Korea.

　After inspection, the data of these people will be transferred to North Korea's Gwangmyeong Online. The government will then notify these users and assign them a social network account of North Korea's Gwangmyeong Online. When these users click the system APP and log in to their account again, they will be able to see the data of their original social account again.

　Since the workload is quite large, North Korea has to seek support from China and outsource some of the work.

　Kim Jong-un genuinely doesn't want to outsource this work, but given the current situation, alleviating discontent among the people in the liberated areas toward the North Korean government is clearly more important. North Korea's own IT capabilities simply can't handle this task quickly enough, so he can only ask the experts for help.

　Regarding the cultures that have been banned, some are completely banned and will never see the light of day, while some are banned and then seriously rectified before being released back into society.

　Then the government acquired all large and medium-sized cultural enterprises in the country before liberation, and formulated a series of rules and regulations for cultural products, which stated the basic requirements for the themes and spirit of cultural works.

　Then, using both carrots and sticks, he recruited a group of talents in the fields of games, film and television cultural products, and asked them to serve the North Korean government and improve North Korea's game and film and television production technology.

　Some online games will be temporarily suspended and will be reopened after the network infrastructure is repaired and the game content is overhauled on a large scale.

　The government subsequently did not slack off in public opinion propaganda. Through the Korean Central News Agency, it used various types of mass media to publicize the current situation and the North Korean government's next actions and goals to the former South Korean puppet people in the newly liberated areas, and at the same time clarified South Korea's long-standing smears against North Korea and socialism.

　For North Korea, doing so was already a great favor to the people in the liberated areas, but for these people who were previously accustomed to "freedom" in their cultural life, it still aroused varying degrees of dissatisfaction among many people.

　There is no way. The division between the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted too long. The long-term division caused by this political factor and the gap between material life and spiritual life created by it cannot be eliminated overnight.

　As for the erosion of the barriers, it may take a generation or two, or even longer. During this period, there will always be contradictions and struggles between the two sides. Either the north wind will prevail over the south wind, or the south wind will prevail over the north wind.

　Chapter 342 Far ahead!

　San Francisco, California, United States

　In a laboratory in Silicon Valley, the pinnacle of the information technology industry, a group of wearable technicians are using tools to tinker with a brand new mobile phone, seemingly taking it apart.

　The technicians carefully opened the back of the phone and set it aside. Under the laboratory lights, the lower part of the phone case reflected the highlights of the six capital letters "HUAWEI".

　The technicians have no interest in the phone case. What they really care about is the phone's central core processor, referred to as CPU or chip.

　They carefully used tweezers to remove the components one by one, and finally took out the most important chip - the chip with the HiSilicon Kirin logo and model printed on the package.

　"Kirin 9000S... Is this a new design or an upgraded old chip? Is this really made independently in China?" The dismantling personnel held the tiny chip with tweezers and looked at it carefully.

　Another technician nearby said nonchalantly, "Who knows? It might just be a skin core. Just run it through the machine for testing. We'll know the nanometers and the process."

　[Professional testing in progress...]

　When the test results were presented to the technicians, their already somewhat uncertain hearts were completely dispelled. The results showed that the chip's transistors met 7nm specifications. While slightly behind the 7nm standards in Europe and the United States, it was definitely not 14nm.

　In addition, there are various signs that this chip is obviously not produced by TSMC, nor is it likely to be manufactured by SMIC or Samsung, but is likely to be produced by Huawei itself.

　As soon as this news was released, it immediately aroused the joy of Huawei mobile phone enthusiasts around the world. They rushed to Raymondo's Twitter and repeatedly sent the photoshopped emoticon package of "Raymondo endorses Huawei mate60" like a tape recorder.

　A tribute to the endless power.jpg

　After receiving the news about the chip disassembly, Raymondo was shocked and his face turned green with anger. "WTF! China can actually independently produce 7nm chips that are just as good as ours?! This is fake, right? It has to be!

　In the east, Deepsea Computer is selling graphics cards to take over the international market from Nvidia and AMD, and in the west, China has made a breakthrough in mobile phone chip manufacturing. Is there no good news at all?!

　Feeling that he had lost his composure, Raymondo adjusted his mindset slightly, but he was still unconvinced:

　"Even if China can make it, so what? There is no evidence that China can mass-produce this. Just look at the current price of Huawei Mate 60 and you will know the truth.

　This shows that their so-called pride is nothing but a face-saving project made at no cost. As long as they cannot mass-produce and the cost cannot be suppressed, they will just be able to grow their own territory. At this time, they can sell a large number of cheap similar chips to China and rely on the price.

　Ge Zhan will crush this poisonous seedling!"

　These words came out of Raymondo's mouth almost habitually. In her eyes, the deep sea must be defended, and China must be defended even more. The deep sea is an enemy at hand, while China is a long-term threat.

　Although the Kirin 9000S and Snapdragon 888 have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the Kirin 9000S is slightly inferior in terms of GPU, this is a chip that Huawei has developed purely on its own during several years of sanctions and blockades. It is already very impressive that it can achieve this while "developing behind closed doors."
