Chapter 390: New Ship Arrives in the First Month (2)

 Since the Yingtan ship, like Jinan before it became a ship girl, stopped being open to the public a long time ago, there was no tourist on the Yingtan ship, so Anshan and Jinan were able to watch the changes in Yingtan calmly.

 Anshan immediately reported the situation to his superiors, "Report, this is the 101 Anshan ship, now in the Naval Museum. We have witnessed the 053K Yingtan ship, hull number 531, undergoing an abnormality..."

 After a busy period, the Naval Museum used cordons and security personnel to clear out an open space and passage at the dock that was off-limits to tourists, making it convenient for relevant personnel to come and receive the ship girl.

 Now in this large open space, there are only Jinan, the Four Great Kings, and the newly appeared Yingtan.

 Just like Jinan and the Four King Kongs' reactions earlier, Yingtan also seemed quite calm, not experiencing any significant emotional fluctuations regarding these changes. This was partly due to her personality, partly due to the fact that she had seen the relevant scenes more than once, and partly due to the fact that the other shipgirls were communicating with her unilaterally.

 Still, the unprecedented perspective and the feeling of possessing limbs always evoked a certain curiosity. But this curiosity didn't last long. Yingtan only had to move around a few times before he was basically accustomed to human limbs.

 Jinan suddenly remembered what happened when he first transformed (see Chapter 161 and the subsequent short story "The Battle of the Two Ships"), and joked to Changchun: "Changchun, are you going to treat Yingtan to black tea this time?"

 "Hmm...it's not as big as mine, so it's boring." Changchun pouted, indicating that he was not interested in treating Yingtan to black tea.

 Jinan walked forward, gave Yingtan a hug, and said happily: "I miss you so much, Yingtan, you must cherish this body, I gave you the opportunity to transform Yinchuan."

 "Uh...are the two necessarily related?" Yingtan suddenly understood what Jinan had been up to at the Long Sword Monument. Jinan had been asking Yinchuan for favors, and he'd been tricked, so Jinan was using this as a pretext to curry favor?

 Jinan saw this and tried to smooth things over. "Hey, hey, hey, it's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. No need to take it so seriously. I never thought the boat that's been with me for over a decade could be so serious."

 "In fact, I never thought that the person who has been with me for more than ten years is actually a heartless vitality ship." Yingtan complained to Jinan with a little indifference.

 Jinan was about to say something when Yingtan stepped forward and hugged Jinan, just as Jinan had hugged him earlier. He said gently, "Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you, Jinan. I just wanted to tease you about the difference between ideals and reality."

 After a while, the director rushed to the museum from the military port by car. After seeing Yingtan, he looked around Yingtan. The color matching of Yingtan's clothing and the first impression it gave were obviously cast in the same mold as Changchun, Anshan and Jinan.

 If you take another look, you can see the difference between their clothes.

 The biggest difference is whether it should be considered a skirt or pants. If you call it a skirt, it has a double-tube fork at the crotch like pants, and the fabric above the knees is close-fitting. If you call it pants, it has a double-tube fork at the crotch like pants, and the fabric above the knees is close-fitting.

 The part below has typical skirt features, which makes it difficult to associate it with pants.

 In addition to skirts, the upper body clothing in Yingtan is also very different from that in Jinan and Changchun. Yingtan exposes the waist and upper thighs, and the clothes are tight on the flesh. The degree of restraint is even higher than that in Jinan and Changchun.

 The Director had personally witnessed so many ships becoming spirits, and he was already accustomed to the style of these girls' clothing. He was already past his prime, and his mindset was relatively open, so as long as they didn't go too far, it would be fine.

 Often, concepts change with time and in-depth understanding. You know, in his early years, the Bureau Chief criticized the KanColle culture, but just a few years later, he became the spokesperson for KanB.

 But everything has its limits. Yingtan is still within acceptable limits. Last year, a place called Ding'an was the real culprit. People who first saw Ding'an were so embarrassed that they ended up borrowing a coat from a fellow villager.

 Regarding the issue of Kanmusu dress, some senior military officials are quite conservative. If it weren't for the fact that the Bureau Commander, one of the first senior personnel to be exposed to Kanmusu culture, had argued for this, the Kanmusu would have been forced to dress modestly, both inside and outside the camp.

 [PS: Actually, I'd really like to see our girls wearing the 07/21 marine camouflage training uniform and the 07-style casual dress, and make them into game skins. (I'm waiting to be called "hardcore and not otaku-friendly.")]

 Of course, Ding'an was a bit special, because she had been given a special order by the organization, requiring her not to wear her initial outfit even outside the port area, and she had to make sure her outfit didn't attract too much attention. (Zhenhai: Tsk... escaped a disaster)

 Jinan and Yingtan had mentioned the Bureau Chief before, and Yingtan had also seen the picture of the Bureau Chief on Jinan's phone when he was playing with it on her body, so when she saw the face of the rear admiral who got off the car, she walked straight over without any hesitation.

 When she reached the director, she stood at attention with a swift, standard military salute. "Reporting to the commander. Yingtan, reporting back again. Please feel free to assign me a mission."

 The chief seemed to see a second Anshan in Yingtan. He nodded with satisfaction and said in return, "Comrade Yingtan, how do you feel now?"

 "It feels great." Yingtan smiled and nodded. "When I first saw the changes in Anshan and Jinan, I often wondered if I would experience the same thing one day. Look, I was right."

 "This little girl is quite cute," the Bureau Commander said with a smile to Su Haiyin (Deputy Commander of the Fleet of Shipgirls) beside him. The Bureau Commander felt that besides Jinan, the only Shipgirl he could truly call a "little girl" was Yingtan. Which of the other Shipgirls was not actually older than the Bureau Commander?

 The Director then said in a serious tone, "Comrade Yingtan, you have two choices now, and we will consult you. First, continue to enjoy your retirement. You can continue to serve as an outstanding model of patriotic education at the Military Museum, for tourists to learn from and for the people to learn from."

 Second, retired military personnel are recalled. When you return to the military, the organization will conduct a series of tests on you, as well as subsequent training, exercises, modifications, etc.

 Before the chief could finish, Yingtan said without hesitation, "Report, I choose the second one. If there is a war, I will return when called. This is not a soldier's right, but a soldier's obligation."

 "Okay!" While it's fine if Yingtan is willing to enjoy his retirement life, the second answer is what the Bureau Commander hopes for more. "This is the awareness that a soldier of the People's Army should have."

 An hour later we arrived at Guzhenkou Military Port.

 "Comrade Yingtan, this 160cm 07 women's service uniform is for you, as well as a set of 21-style marine training uniforms and a pair of 21-style combat boots..."

 The officer in charge of logistics took out one set of clothes after another from the warehouse and handed them to Yingtan according to the height and chest circumference data of Yingtan measured during the physical examination.

 The officer casually remarked, "Fortunately, we don't have to order it this time, otherwise it would have been quite a waste of time and effort."

 "Is it because of our height?" Yingtan took the clothes wrapped in a transparent plastic bag. The officer's words just now caught Yingtan's attention.

 "Well, the heights of many ship girls don't even meet the minimum height standard for female soldiers in our army. They are far from that, so their clothes have to be custom-made." The quartermaster explained.

 "But that's just one reason. As for the other..." The quartermaster wasn't sure whether to continue explaining. He picked up a set of training uniforms of the appropriate size and handed them to Yingtan.

 Yingtan probably guessed what the quartermaster was going to say. She took the clothes from him and asked, "How big are your breasts?"

 Seeing that Yingtan didn't care, the quartermaster didn't try to avoid the question. "That's right. Zhenhai, Ding'an, and Huajia are all custom-made. They have breast pockets..."

 "I guessed it..." Yingtan's mouth twitched in embarrassment. He had already witnessed the size of the top three in the dormitory in the port area.

 In fact, there are other Chinese ship girls with plump and eye-catching breasts, but they are designed with or without breast pouches. It may be better with it, but not having it does not affect the appearance much.

 The only three items the quartermaster just mentioned are absolutely essential, otherwise the clothes will feel awkward to wear. (Anshan: What about my default outfit having breast pouches?)

 Chapter 391 Cultural Life in the Newly Liberated Areas (2)

 Korean Han

 city

 In a room of an apartment building, the morning sun's rays were pouring down onto the floor. In the corner of the room, there was a bed, and on that bed, a young man was fast asleep.

 Suddenly, the bedside phone rang.

 "~(When will the beloved come back~)"

 The young man on the bed rustled a few times, reached out to grab the phone and turned off the ringtone. The ancient song that was once popular in East Asian countries came to an abrupt end.

 "Really? Isn't today Saturday? Did I forget to turn off the alarm for the weekend?" The young man muttered with squinted eyes. He turned on the alarm on his mobile phone to see what was going on.

 "Shit! I really forgot to turn it off..."

 After turning off the weekend alarm on his phone, the young man wanted to take a nap, but he found that he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried, so he simply got up and went to have breakfast.

 There was some bread left over from yesterday on the dining table. He heated it up in the microwave, made a packet of instant coffee and prepared to eat it while watching TV.

 After turning on the TV, the first thing he saw was news footage of Kim Jong-un's various inspections. Although he was already used to it, the young man couldn't help but frown, especially the uniquely roaring broadcast style of North Korea, which made him feel uncomfortable.

 The young man turned on the TV mainly to see the battle situation at the front line, because now it is impossible to have reports other than official reports from North Korea in various media, and the public can only learn about the situation at the front line through official North Korean reports.

 The announcer on TV was reporting the news in a fluctuating tone: "Our Korean People's Army has once again defeated the South Korean puppet army. In this Nonsan Battle, we killed xxx South Korean puppet troops, injured xxx, and captured xxx. Now our advance troops are approaching North Jeolla Province and are marching forward in large strides. The South puppet army will soon be dead..."

 "North Jeolla Province..." The young man thought about the map of South Korea. "So, the North has almost conquered two-thirds of South Korea. It seems that there is no way to save the situation."

 The young man couldn't help but sigh. He had been wondering if South Korea had any hope of a comeback, but now it seemed that was out of the question. The South Korean army would either retreat to Jeju Island or commit suicide on the coast of Busan.

 In the past few months of his new life, the young man always had a subtle feeling. He adapted to some aspects but also did not adapt, or it could be said that he had a feeling of both gains and losses.

 There was a Catholic church near the young man's home. He thought that the church would be demolished after the North Koreans came, but he didn't expect that the church had been preserved and was still in operation, which made the young man feel incredible.

 Later, he saw in North Korea's official news that there were Catholic churches in the north, and even priests appeared on TV. He was shocked and realized that North Korea was not pretending in this regard.

 He had always thought that his brothers in the north would definitely not be very friendly towards religion, especially foreign religions like Catholicism. It would be unjust for them not to completely ban it. However, the facts turned out to be the opposite of what he thought.

 In addition, there was an arcade two streets south of his house. He thought that these two stores would definitely be closed down as decadent businesses; but in the end, the relevant North Korean authorities only banned the slot machines and fruit machines with gambling nature, but the ownership reform could not be avoided.

 In addition to some North Korean news, there are also several channels showing TV dramas, movies, animation, science and education, sports, etc. The young man was shocked when he saw the TV drama channel playing "Jewel in the Palace".

 "Fuck, shouldn't this thing be criticized as feudal in North Korea? How can this movie pass the Kim family's approval in the North?" The young man really couldn't imagine that North Korea would broadcast such a TV series.

 Before this, he had always believed that North Korea was as crazy as China during the Cultural Revolution. After all, during the Cultural Revolution, China banned its four great classics under the pretext of "destroying the four olds."

 More importantly, there's no 996 (996) in North Korea; people leave work on time. Those whose jobs require them to be on duty 24 hours a day work in three shifts, a stark contrast to South Korea's long working hours and widespread overtime.

 There are also twelve years of free compulsory education, and even if you pass the university entrance exam, tuition is free. There are no miscellaneous cram schools or expensive private schools. Many South Koreans think this is a dream, but it seems to be a matter of course in North Korea.

 Since coming to North Korea, what he could feel most was the obvious drop in the prices of primary agricultural products. This was a good thing and could not be denied in any way, but what made him very uncomfortable was the supply based on tickets.

 In short, the arrival of North Korea made him change some of his previous stereotypes about North Korea, but some stereotypes still remained and even deepened.

 "It's true that work doesn't require as much effort, but the increase in personal time would be very boring if there wasn't a rich entertainment life to kill time!" The young man couldn't help but complain.

 "I fully support your ban on cults and prostitution. It's fine to ban R18 paintings, calligraphy, audio and video products, but why don't you even allow the sale of things like masturbation cups?"

 Although General Kim was quite lenient with South Korea's cultural life, the richness of it still couldn't compare to that of South Korea. In particular, the cultural products that have been preserved today are all marked by the main body of the culture.

 Compared with the South Korean Internet, the North Korean Internet is much cleaner. Not only are the IP addresses accurate to the street level, but there is also no

 So many abstract things.

 It’s just that he often looks at North Korea’s social apps and doesn’t know what to say. Mainly because he is afraid that he might say something wrong and be checked by the North Korean police.

 When North Korean officials announced the temporary removal of Azure Files for rectification, this young man boldly declared, "I, Lee Jung-won, would rather die than jump from the tenth floor than play any North Korean games!"

 The reason he returned to the game later was not because of Wang Jingze's Law, but because the characters in BA were his spiritual support, so he couldn't help but return to the game.

 When Li Zhengyuan opened "Azur Lane" on his mobile phone, the first picture that popped up was not the game logo, but Jin Mingyan, which instantly made Li Zhengyuan unable to hold back.

 After entering the game, he found that a lot of fabric had been added to the character's portrait model, but some non-human features such as animal ears and tails were retained, which he had not expected.

 (426 Studio Game Department: The most common animation genre we produced back then was traditional anthropomorphic animals. How could we not accept the existence of animal-eared girls? Do these South Koreans really think we are emotionless machines?)

 Although the characters and iconic physical characteristics are still there, they have become mute due to the major changes in the lines and plot, and the characters' lines are always about the subject and politics.

 "Well, my wife has become a Juche person now. Now the general's kindness is really repaid." Li Zhengyuan was really at the point of laughing and crying. He could hardly imagine what it would be like when Xinnai explained the Juche ideology to him while he was holding Xinnai to sleep.

 "The only thing worth mentioning is the removal of the card drawing mechanism and the krypton gold points. Things that used to require krypton gold to achieve can now be achieved by accumulating materials through completing tasks in the game. As for the rest of the changes... it's really hard to describe in a few words." Li Zhengyuan commented with difficulty.

 In addition to games, reading and music platforms have also been subject to cultural controls. Shortly after North Korea captured Seoul, the fiction platform Lee Jung-won originally used, featuring stories about overbearing CEOs, Mary Sues, and Jack-Sou, was blasted as a form of decadent capitalist culture.

 Anime novels were not immune to the impact, with over 70% of them being censored. Those that skirted the line, were politically reactionary, contained heavy-handed content, or lacked positive energy in their main themes became official targets.

 The censorship of music is relatively loose, and lyrics about love are generally not banned, unless they are about NTR or multiple relationships, or the lyrics are vulgar and obscene, such as "Gangnam Style".

 As the saying goes, cultural exchange is a two-way street. While North Korea is cracking down on South Korea's "decadent culture," it's also exporting North Korean culture to South Korea. While a large amount of content has been blocked on reading and music platforms, a significant amount of content from North Korea has also emerged.

 It's just some extra North Korean content on the fiction platform. It's completely different from South Korean online novels. Or perhaps North Korean content isn't even called online novels, but rather electronic traditional reading, or electronic versions of traditional novels. Also, there are some periodicals, literary magazines, essays, etc.

 As for the additional content on the music platform, I believe everyone can guess with a little thought. It is nothing more than a lot of songs that were not available in South Korea in the past - North Korean red songs.

 After Li Zhengyuan closed the Azure Files, he opened the social software and saw people often complaining about how boring their new life was and how they were not free. Some of the comments were too serious and were censored, while some of the comments were more subtle or mild and were criticized by North Korean netizens.

 On Guangming Online, a North Korean netizen angrily criticized a South Korean commenter, saying, "Enough! Comrade Kim Jong-un has been very considerate of you and given you face! You should know that even after the cultural purge, the entertainment options in the liberated areas in the south are still richer than in Pyongyang."

 You can download software online, play mainstream online games and high-quality masterpieces, and have much more online and offline entertainment options than we do. You can even complain online. The general did not ban your more convenient and quick way of accessing the Internet, but chose to retain it. Isn't this a favor?

 All the government did was ban pornography, gambling, and drug-related content, and yet you're all devastated. You're so fragile, wouldn't you go crazy if you were allowed to stay in Pyongyang for a few days? Do you understand contentment? You've been spoiled by capitalism, right?

 Lee Jung-won was enjoying the heated exchange on this floor when he noticed a pop-up message on his app saying, "This thread has been deleted." He couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems the arguments were so intense that they've caught the attention of the relevant North Korean authorities."

 "Alas, where is the future of our entertainment life... I really miss the Republic of Korea in this respect." Li Zhengyuan shook his head, sighed, put away his phone and prepared to go downstairs to take a walk around.

 Since the existing entertainment cannot fully satisfy the Koreans who have "seen the world before, nothing else can compare to it", the only way they can do is to go out and see the scenery, relax, and exercise to relieve their boredom.

 Li Zhengyuan suddenly remembered China's reform and opening up, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Oh, it's better to hope that South Korea will be liberated one day than to hope that Mr. Kim will reform and open up."

 Chapter 392: America's Internal and External Troubles

 Deepsea Norfolk, USA

 On the defense line in the southern suburbs of Norfolk, a deep-sea force is inspecting the defense line left behind by the US military. Their main task is to clean up the battlefield.

 "Drip! Drop! Drop..." A large bulldozer was rumbling and pushing up a hill - a hill made of the bodies of many American soldiers. The bulldozer was flattening the hill.

 The bodies were piled up on the open space in order to clear a full space for the bodies.

 The open space cleared by the bulldozer is where Shenhai gathers the bodies of American soldiers for inspection. After Shenhai seizes guns, exoskeletons and other personal belongings from the bodies of American soldiers, he will let the bulldozer pile the bodies not far away.

 On the other side are piles of various types of captured guns, weapons, and exoskeletons. These things are still useful to the deep sea and can be used as equipment for the puppet army.

 In his spare time, Deep Sea 101010 picked up an exoskeleton, looked at it, and then threw it back into the discarded weapons pile with boredom.

 She couldn't help but scoff at this. "Do you really think you can challenge us just by wearing some cheap metal? Weak humans only know how to use these tricks to make themselves feel powerful... How ridiculous."

 "Unless humans can mass-produce exoskeletons of the quality seen in the movie Edge of Tomorrow one day, things like this will basically just be children's toys. By then, the United States will no longer exist." Deep Sea 101010 sneered again.

 "Maybe someone is already doing it?" A worried voice came from behind Deep Sea 101010.

 101010 turned around and saw it was his comrade. 101010 confidently replied, "Don't worry, I've heard from my sisters in the intelligence field that the US military's heavy exoskeletons are still in the lab. The manufacturing cost is ridiculously high, and it doesn't look like ordinary equipment that is intended for widespread use.

 "The issue of mass production for this thing has never been resolved, and there's no chance of mass production in the foreseeable future. Even if it does, it will be in small quantities. This level of production won't change the current positive trend in our deep-sea operations, so there's no need to take it too seriously."

 It is common to chat while doing odd jobs, and this is not uncommon even among deep-sea soldiers. On the other side of this abandoned US military position, there are also two deep-sea soldiers chatting while working.

 At the corner of a trench, Deep Sea 145305 was carefully removing a trip mine. The mine was perfectly hidden, thanks to the deep sea. If it were a human, unless they were an experienced engineer, it would be difficult to detect it.
