It is Kokang and Changchun

　Ayanami then mentioned another key point: "Yes, but these are relatively long-term matters. Right now, the Party and the government can only change the relations of production—nationalizing the power companies in the base areas and reforming the power industry.

　Currently, all power companies in the base area have been nationalized. The next round of reform plans are still under discussion by the Party and the government. The current draft generally refers to the separation of power plants and grids (i.e., separation of power generation and transmission).

　If the draft is formally passed, the former Kansai Electric Power Company, Chugoku Electric Power Company, Shikoku Electric Power Company, and Kyushu Electric Power Company will be converted into corresponding power generation companies and will no longer be engaged in transmission and distribution.

　Next, a national power grid company will be established to handle power transmission and distribution within the base area. The tentative name will be the Kansai Power Grid. After the liberation of all of Japan, a Japanese national power grid will be established. It will be responsible for power transmission and distribution from Kansai to Kyushu, and from Chubu to Hokkaido, respectively.

　Ayanami talked a lot and Fukimi listened attentively, so much so that she didn't even notice that the milk tea in her hand had gone cold (they ordered hot milk tea).

　If a knowledgeable Chinese person were to pass by and listen to the lecture at this moment, he would certainly be unable to help but complain: Damn, isn't this clearly a replica of China's power reform over the past decade?

　Chapter 386: The final battle is a draw... The other side can't get in, what a fight

　While Ayanami and Shikinami were discussing Japan's electricity problem heatedly, in the northeast, the valley at the junction of Kyoto Prefecture and Shiga Prefecture did not seem peaceful.

　The Self-Defense Forces originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity before the main force of the Japanese Communist Party came to support and go all in to open up the valley that was less than 3 kilometers long, and then march into Kyoto. However, they were blocked by the garrison of the Revolutionary Army.

　The commander of the JSDF brigade responsible for attacking the canyon marveled at the outcome. "It seems I underestimated the resolve and learning abilities of these rebels. Their performance this time seems much better than their previous retreat through Noshi City. Sure enough, defending the capital has a bonus?"

　"Didn't the intelligence a few days ago say that the rebels had changed their guard? I guess the troops guarding the canyon this time are most likely the advance team coming from Kyushu to change guards." said the deputy brigade commander.

　"If that's the case... Damn it, it's so close." The brigade commander stood on the commanding heights, picked up the telescope unwillingly, and looked out at Kyoto in the distance again.

　Through his binoculars, the brigade commander could faintly discern the spire of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the thousand torii gates that stretched for several kilometers up the hill. The laser rangefinder indicated that the observation point was less than 10 kilometers from this commanding height.

　It is only less than 10 kilometers away. If you drive there, it seems so close, yet so far away, just like the German army at the gates of Moscow on the Eastern Front, who can see the Red Square but cannot touch it.

　When the revolutionary army first rose up, the Self-Defense Forces were like today, able to see Kyoto but never able to enter it.

　Last time, at least the opponent had a bunch of ship girls assisting intensively, so it was excusable that we couldn't score. But this time, we were basically fighting against humans; if we still couldn't score, it can only be said that we were in a downward spiral.

　The deputy brigade commander looked worried. "Sir, what should we do? The Revolutionary Army's performance has exceeded our expectations. It's impossible to cross the canyon within the time limit. Moreover, the enemy's main force has almost returned for reinforcements. My suggestion is to stop the assault."

　"Yamada..." The brigade commander did not directly answer his subordinate's question, but instead talked about something else: "Have you ever been to Kyoto during your travels?"

　"Ah..." The deputy brigade commander looked bewildered, not understanding what the brigade commander meant by this sudden question. However, he could only answer truthfully: "I've been to Osaka, but not to Kyoto."

　The brigade commander glanced at his subordinate and said, "I went there once when I was in college, but unfortunately I didn't make it to Fushimi Inari Taisha. I was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to travel on government funds after we entered Kyoto, but it seems that won't be possible."

　"I understand. Do you want to stop the attack?" Although Yamada didn't understand why his superior mentioned his travel experience in his youth, he understood the final meaning.

　"Well, halt the attack. Then defend on the spot and await orders from above." The brigade commander snorted, "A decisive battle in Kyoto... Humph, with the current situation, there's no point in deciding it.

　Although the Prime Minister said that the troops that first enter Kyoto and capture the enemy leader alive will be awarded the title of "Higekiri" and their pay will be doubled, but honor and wealth must be enjoyed alive, right?

　The brigade commander complained, looking as if he had given up. "If I didn't want to face a court-martial, I would have retreated with my men long ago. When the opposing ship girls gathered in a wave, we'd use our heads to block them! And you want 'Higekiri'? It's lucky we didn't get cut by the opposing ship girls."

　The brigade commander's inference was correct. After the main forces of the Revolutionary Army Special Brigade and the main forces of the Ship Girls arrived the next day, they launched the first wave of attack in the early morning of the same day.

　In just three days, the battle line, which was almost at the gates of Kyoto, was pushed back more than ten kilometers to the east. This marked the end of all the ground self-defense forces' combat gains over the past few weeks.

　The garrison that had exceeded the Ground Self-Defense Force's deadline was none other than the 7th Brigade of the People's Revolutionary Army.

　This unit was formed entirely from scratch by the Japanese Communist Party itself, and was trained personally by Soviet instructors from the Mountain Division. It would be strange if its combat effectiveness was not strong, and the 3rd Division that surrendered earlier had to fall behind.

　It can be said that if there were no KanColle and the Special Brigade, the current 7th Brigade would be

　, it can definitely be said to be the Japanese Communist Party’s number one ace force.

　Ibaraki Hanasu also changed her mind about the future battle plan. Previously, she had been thinking about how to reduce her own casualties tactically and capture as many cities as possible.

　After two days of thinking, I realized that it was almost like having to choose one or the other; if I really wanted to reduce casualties, I could only work on the equipment.

　As the saying goes, "For the sake of sacrifice, we have great ambitions and dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky." Revolution always requires blood and lives. There is no optimal solution for us to keep casualties as low as possible and achieve the greatest possible results.

　Thinking of this, Ibaraki Hanasu finally decided to use the Kancolle Commando as the core, the Special Brigade as the main force, the Ordinary Brigade as the filling line and substitute, and night raids as the main method to break through key points and attack the Kansai defense line of the Self-Defense Forces head-on.

　Immediately, on the entire front line, in addition to the attack from Shiga Prefecture along Lake Biwa, there was also an attack from Nara towards Iga City and Tsu City to Mie Prefecture, thus gradually shortening the front line.

　The Japanese Communist Party launched a large-scale campaign in the south, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Fukushima revolutionary base in the north. The comrades in Fukushima took the opportunity to expand the revolutionary base outward and completely put the entire Fukushima Prefecture area firmly in the hands of the revolution.

　The current strategy of the Fukushima base is to advance westward, liberate Niigata and Shibata along the Sea of ​​Japan, open an outlet to the sea for the Fukushima base in order to obtain assistance from the Soviet Union, and at the same time cut off the Liberal Democratic Party-controlled areas in the north and south.

　The Liberal Democratic Party certainly knew the importance of the towns in this area. Since Agano City and Gosen City were the only way for the revolutionary army in Fukushima to attack Niigata and Shibata, not long after the establishment of the Fukushima revolutionary base, the Ground Self-Defense Force had already sent troops to Agano and Gosen to build a fortress defense line.

　After all, Fukushima is not as vast as the Central Revolutionary Army, with its vast fleet of shipgirls, numerous special forces, Soviet aid, and extensive industrial bases for logistical support. Fukushima only has one shipgirl, Kashino, who can use her shipgirl abilities to transport supplies, and her capacity is limited. Therefore, Fukushima currently lacks the strength to storm a fortified city.

　If you're talking about shipgirls, there are indeed a few in Fukushima, but they are too few and can be counted on two hands. Secondly, the base does not have the ability to produce the corresponding shells used by the shipgirls, and the supply is restricted by Kashino's transportation capacity, so they can't bomb freely.

　However, if you think that because you can't attack by force, you have no countermeasures, then you are completely wrong. The teacher's sixteen-character formula for guerrilla warfare is an eternal god, especially when it is used by the ship girls.

　At night, you can occasionally throw a few 203 or 152 shells at the Ground Self-Defense Force positions, and mix it up with a few 127 shells. After the attack, immediately retract the ship equipment and run away at full speed. The enemy can't catch you even if they want to. The feeling is so exciting.

　In a field in the eastern suburbs of Fukushima, Takuma Ozawa was checking the nuclear radiation levels in the surrounding environment and soil of the farmland. The instrument data showed that the levels were higher than the natural values, but within a safe range.

　Seeing this result which was neither good nor bad, Ozawa sighed. He knew that this was the best result the revolutionary government had achieved. Nuclear pollution was very difficult to completely eliminate and it could only be controlled below the safety warning line.

　At least the crops grown in the soil are edible now. You know, in the beginning there was still a lot of nuclear contaminated soil exceeding the standard in this area.

　Under the cleanup campaign organized by the Party and the government, except for a few inconspicuous corners where radiation slightly exceeded the standard, the rest have been cleaned up.

　The base government found a closed aggregate warehouse to temporarily store the nuclear contaminated soil, and non-relevant staff were strictly prohibited from approaching. The soil will be taken out and cleaned when purification conditions are met in the future. After meeting the standards, it can be reused or dumped into the sea.

　Ozawa recalled the past campaign to clean up nuclear contaminated land and suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. He nodded to his old friend next to him and said, "Inoue-kun, don't you think we're currently playing an offline live-action version of Girls' Frontline?"

　"Fuck, a dead memory suddenly woke me up." Inoue joked, "It was the most popular game six years ago (Girls' Frontline was very popular in Japan), and now there's no news on the Japanese server. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

　"Look, we are facing the problem of nuclear radiation, and the humans in Girls' Frontline are facing the threat of collapse radiation. We are cleaning up the nuclear radiation-contaminated soil in the suburbs for development, and the humans in the Girls' Frontline world are cleaning up the radiation-contaminated land in the yellow zone for development..." Ozawa counted on his fingers.

　Inoue chuckled and jokingly analyzed, "How can it be so terrifying? Nuclear radiation is nothing compared to collapse radiation. Even the soil around the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which exceeds the standard by several times, would at most be at the yellow zone level."

　It's true that excessive nuclear radiation can cause biological mutations, but at most it can cause deformities or shorten your lifespan. At most, you'll still live for two or three days. Godzilla is just a joke. High-dose collapse radiation, on the other hand, kills instantly and can actually turn organisms into highly aggressive biochemical monsters.

　"You're right, but no matter what, our current situation is more or less familiar." Ozawa didn't expect Inoue to analyze it so seriously.

　Inoue disagreed. "That's still a long way off. After all, we still don't have the most crucial ingredient—strong artificial intelligence—in the real world. By the time we develop that, we'll probably be dead."

　"Yeah, I just regret that I was born too early." Xiaoze narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head, pretending to be helpless. "If I was born 50 years later, I would definitely find a human-shaped wife."

　"Hey, don't be so greedy! You already have a Hibiki-chan. Ask yourself if you should ask for another human form." Inoue deliberately poked Ozawa's chest a few times, making a joking criticism.

　Xiaoze crossed his arms over his chest, grinning and pretending to be confident. "How dare you say you only have one wife in the game? Doesn't that second-level player have many wives and concubines? Who doesn't have a harem? How dare you say you only like one?"

　"I... I did marry many wives in the game, but in reality I can only have one. This is a basic moral requirement of the contemporary world, and it is also the consciousness that a Communist Party member should have." Inoue hurriedly explained himself seriously.

　"Isn't that enough? The same goes for me. What I said before was based on the assumption that I was born 50 years later. If I were born 50 years later, would I still be able to meet Hibiki-chan?" Ozawa also clarified himself.

　After saying that, the two laughed.

　Chapter 387 Daily Life of Chinese People

　To put it in the terms of Iron Fist IV, the world tension required to get China to take action in the war direction is very high. Unless someone makes a big move on China's doorstep or directly kicks the door in, China will not easily take military measures.

　Although the world today is facing major changes unseen in a hundred or even a thousand years, the Soviet Union's liberation of the Japanese Revolution and the Second Korean War, as well as the emergence of even more explosive deep sea events, have not been able to disrupt the basic rhythm of China's domestic economic life.

　Since the United States was severely beaten by the deep sea, direct military unification has been implemented, and then the output of its external influence has been greatly accelerated, especially in East Asia; of course, this output is based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and voluntariness, and is not imposed on others like European and American imperialism.

　The Russo-Ukrainian War revitalized Russia's/Soviet military industry; coupled with strengthened cooperation with China and the light industry version of Plan 156, the Soviet Union's unemployment rate hit a new low since 1991, the inflation rate dropped significantly, workers' real wages increased, the economy flourished, and at the same time greatly promoted the development of the Far East.

　Even other Soviet republics benefited from the Soviet Union's development within its framework. The economies of Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan all saw significant growth.

　Similarly, China obtained a lot of cheap energy, minerals, industrial semi-finished products and low-end industrial products, as well as high-tech in some fields from the Soviet Union. At the same time, it exported a large number of industrial products to the Soviet Union, allowing the Soviet people to enjoy high-quality and low-cost Chinese products.

　Likewise, some Soviet goods are benefiting countless Chinese people. For example, people in Changchun often buy large quantities of various snacks and side dishes from their hometown at the Soviet Pavilion, making their own small contribution to the enduring friendship between the two countries.

　The opening up of Outer Manchuria and its access to the sea offer a promising future for Northeast China's revitalization. If North Korea, after its reunification, can further open up, and with the addition of Japan, the Northeast Asian Economic Circle and the China-Japan-North Korea Free Trade Zone will become more than just illusions.

　The dramatic shift in the landscape across East Asia has led to China's economic growth significantly exceeding expectations in 2023, with continued steady growth. This will further strengthen industrial transformation and lay the material foundation for achieving common prosperity in the future.

　Although some people still face employment and income pressures, many people have actually enjoyed the benefits brought about by the improved economic situation.

　For example, a brother who lives in Huzhou, Zhejiang, received an unexpected surprise today.

　In a residential complex in Huzhou, Zyts sat at his computer, typing Chinese characters into the text box on the screen. These words in the text box were the content of his novel update today.

　Since Z23 had mentioned his other two novels to him before, he now had to think carefully about how to write each chapter, which undoubtedly increased his workload; but one should never underestimate the power of love, which was enough to soothe zyts's fatigue in carefully updating.

　When Zyts was first "beaten" by Z23, he had several dreams in a row for several nights. The content of the dreams was similar, specifically Niemi-chan in an East German Stasi uniform, and various clips of him scoring and catching Zyts in various fancy moves.

　zyts has always felt it is very strange. It is like a nightmare, but not a nightmare. Although he felt uncomfortable being held down by Z23's grappling technique in the dream, the body fragrance of Nimi-chan when she was close to him was so refreshing.

　And when the girl's scallion-sized hand held her own, the touch of the skin on her palm was so delicate and smooth, just like a baby's skin, which made her unable to stop.

　Especially when Nimi-chan brought herself into the interrogation room, Nimi-chan looked at the suspect's information with nine points of seriousness and earnestness, but there was actually an inexplicable bitterness in her expression.

　To put it in a more vivid way, the whole scene in the dream was like a high-gloss and oily anime. No matter how serious and solemn the heroine was, she would inevitably make people feel a little bit shy.

　Therefore, Zyts felt that this was not a nightmare at all, or rather, not a proper nightmare. However, since there were no restricted scenes in the dream, he was really not sure what category this dream belonged to.

　"Thinking carefully, Nimi's criticism and suggestions are not without reason. There are indeed some immature views in them that I had before. It was only after studying and communicating with Nimi that I discovered the problems." Zyts admitted that Nimi's criticism was not random, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths.

　The has been changed.

　After the subsequent plot of the book "The Duke of Tsarist Russia" was changed, zyts clearly noticed in an online chat that Nimi was very happy to meet an author who was willing to accept scientific criticism, although she still had no idea who the author of "The Duke of Tsarist Russia" was.

　The positive feedback from Z23 is the biggest motivation for zyts. If the encouragement from comments from ordinary readers is lignite and the subscription from paying readers is oil, then the encouragement from Nimi Jiang is equivalent to nuclear energy.

　Just as Zyts was frantically burning the "nuclear fuel rod" encouraged by Nimi-chan and knocking his fingers vigorously, the door of his room suddenly opened.

　The person who came in was his father. Zyts's father said, "Son, your father has made some money recently. You are almost 30 years old and don't even have a car. How are you going to find a wife in the future?"

　"No, Dad, why can't I find a wife without a car? Is there any necessary connection between the two? I'm not looking for a gold digger." Zyts was confused by his father's sudden words.

　Zyts's father lectured him again: "How are you going to get to work on a rainy day without a car? We older generations all have cars, but you young people don't. You're just getting older and older, right? You really have no ambition at all..."

　"Uh... OK, what kind of car do you want to buy me?" Zyts knew that he couldn't win over his father, so he could only accept it calmly. After all, "I have a car ≠ I drive it often."

　"I plan to buy you a Lexus, a Lexus worth more than 40 yuan," said my father.

　"Ah... Lexus? This can't be... too expensive." Zyts originally thought that his father would at most buy him a car priced at one hundred thousand or eighty thousand yuan, but he almost couldn't hold it back when he did this.

　Zyts's father complained, "Is it expensive? Young people, don't always think this and that are expensive. Can you think about your own problems and whether you have worked hard? You think it's expensive only when you don't have money. If you have money, nothing is expensive."

　Upon hearing this argument, zyts felt uncomfortable. If the man in front of him wasn't an old man, he would have already cursed him, asking him why he didn't eat meat porridge. It can only be said that the concepts of the older generation and the younger generation are very different.

　When our parents were young, it coincided with the reform and opening up and the establishment of the socialist market economic system. The Chinese market at that time was an incremental market with a broad scope and great potential, and it was relatively easy to make money.

　China's current market is a stock market, and the downward economic pressure still hangs around China's neck and has not yet dissipated. Furthermore, this economic downturn has led to the ideological leaning of most contemporary young people.

　In this case, it is understandable that the thoughts and behaviors that Zyts's father considers normal are easily unacceptable to contemporary youth groups.

　Zyts wanted to blend in with the people and didn't want a Lexus worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, so he said to his father, "Dad, I don't want such an expensive car. I only want one worth 100,000 yuan."

　"So what do you want?" asked the father.

　“…” zyts was having difficulty making a decision and didn’t know which car to choose.

　Finally, he could only plead, "Dad, I can't think of which car to buy right now. How about you give me 100,000 yuan and I'll buy it myself when I decide."

　"If you want to ask dad for money, just tell him. My money is for you to buy a car, not for your messy games and cartoon figures! You can use this money to go out and find a girlfriend." The father seemed to see through Zyts's intention.

　However, Zyts had no intention of pocketing the money, so he could only desperately explain, "Believe me, Dad. I really only used it to buy a car, around 100,000 yuan. I'll refund or pay more if I don't."

　An old father is always an old father. Facing his son, he softened his heart. "Okay, that's what you said. If you dare spend even a penny on something you shouldn't, I'll show you how I'll deal with you. All transactions are recorded now anyway."

　After saying that, my father walked out of the room and closed the door.

　After a while, zyts found a notification on his mobile banking account, indicating that a full 100,000 RMB had been deposited into his account.

　"Oh, it seems that I have to buy this car." Zyts sighed. He still hasn't decided what car he wants to buy.

　"Well... I don't need a new one. Let's buy a used one. It's cheaper. Even if a used car has never been moved, its price is discounted. Then you can buy one that is 80% to 90% new." Zyts felt sorry for his father and wanted to save money for him.

　He thought for a few minutes, but still couldn't think of what kind of car he wanted to buy, so he simply stopped thinking and continued typing. He would think about it after he finished.

　Just as he finished writing this chapter, a QQ bubble popped up on his computer. Zyts looked closely and saw it was Z23's profile picture. He couldn't wait to click on it and chat with Nimi-chan, and the conversation lasted for half an hour.

　Before the chat ended, when zyts asked Z23 if there was a chance for him to come to China again, Z23 said, "Maybe. If the situation changes, I will try my best to come to China. China is indeed a great place."

　Then zyts jokingly replied: "Then I will go to greet you then? (Funny)"

　Z23 replied with a yellow bean emoji covering its mouth and laughing.

　At this point, an idea flashed through zyts' mind. "Got it! I know what car to buy! It's affordable and will make Z23 happy!"

　A few days later, a black sedan with a high chassis and a square shape slowly drove into the residential complex where Zyts lived. After the car stopped in an empty parking space, the door slowly opened.

　Zyts slowly came out of the cab,

　Taking off his pretentious sunglasses, he fondled his newly bought car with a touch of nostalgia. The pure white paintwork, reflecting the luster of jade, and the round silver logo on the radiator, exuded a low-key yet sophisticated aura from top to bottom.

　"Hello? Dad, I'm back with my new car. Come down and take a look." Zyts put on his sunglasses again, leisurely took out his cell phone, called his father to come down and admire his car.

　When my father heard that his son had finally bought a car, he went downstairs to find out what it was. "What kind of car did you buy? Why are you so secretive about it?"
