It is Kokang and Changchun

　In terms of ideology, Shii Kazuo believes that Marxism can be the fundamental guiding ideology of the party, but it should not be generalized and become the dominant ideology of the entire Japanese state and society in the future.

　In foreign affairs, Shii Kazuo opposed some of the views of Ibaraki Kasen and others on the Diaoyu Islands issue and human rights issues in Hong Kong. He wrote to Ibaraki Kasen several times, urging them not to be too trusting of the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and to remain vigilant.

　Each of these views of Shii Kazuo is in considerable conflict with the ideas of Ibaraki Hanafu. Even without talking about party disputes, Shii Kazuo's views are indeed not conducive to socialist revolution and construction. Therefore, for the sake of truth and the future of the Japanese revolution, Ibaraki Hanafu must criticize and fight against him.

　Although at the online party congress a year ago, Shii Kazuo's right-wing opportunism in the Party Central Committee came to an end due to the struggle of revolutionaries such as Ibaraki Hanasu.

　However, due to the limitations of the environment and conditions, the Japanese Communist Party at that time only solved the most urgent problems of the revolutionary way out and the methods of struggle, while other aspects, such as ideological, political and economic line issues, were not discussed in detail.

　Afterwards, Ibaraki Hanaogi tried to resolve this issue at a Politburo meeting last year in order to completely negate the right-leaning political line that had been formed for a long time during the Shii Kazuo period.

　However, due to the influence of the right-leaning line represented by Shii Kazuo still being evident within the party, her efforts were not as effective as expected.

　This made Ibaraki Hanasou gradually realize that a rectification movement must be carried out throughout the party in order to fundamentally and thoroughly solve the problem of ideological line.

　Now, the Japanese Communist Party is facing an unprecedented wave of new members joining the party; coupled with the revolutionary work of the Chinese fans over the past year, the reputation accumulated through correct leadership, the support of the ship girls and the army, and the greatly improved security situation in the base area, the Ibaraki Chinese fans believe that the time for ideological rectification is becoming increasingly mature.

　Therefore, she wanted to take the opportunity of educating new party members to carry out a large-scale rectification study within the party, rectifying various unhealthy tendencies within the party and eradicating the rightist tendencies of Zhiwei and Fu.

　line.

　After Nakano Hiroshi made his statement, other members of the Political Bureau Standing Committee also expressed their agreement with Ibaraki Hanasou's statement and supported the rectification of the party style.

　"Okay, it seems everyone agrees that rectifying the Party's conduct is necessary and a good thing. But the key lies in what this rectification is, why, and what should be done about it?" Ibaraki Hanafu took a sip of water from his cup and continued:

　"This rectification of the Party's style is a large-scale Marxist education movement involving the entire Party, based on opposing sectarianism and aimed at strengthening the Party's unity, progressiveness and combativeness.

　The first thing we must note is that our rectification campaign is not aimed at "cruel struggle and ruthless attacks" but at "punishing past mistakes, preventing future ones, and curing illnesses to save people."

　This means that past mistakes must be exposed without mercy, analyzed scientifically, and the comrade who made the mistake must understand where, why, and where the mistake originated. This allows him to learn from it and do better in his future work. This is "punishing the past to serve as a warning to the future."

　The so-called "curing illnesses and saving lives" means exposing mistakes and criticizing for a certain purpose, just like a doctor treating an illness, not to kill the patient, but to save him, so that the comrades who have made mistakes will wake up and reform.

　The specific method of rectification is not the kind of mass movements in history, but relevant study by party organizations at all levels, careful reading of documents, connection between personal thoughts and work, self-reflection, criticism and self-criticism, summing up experience, improving understanding, and gradually enhancing ideological consistency, strengthening party spirit, and improving work.

　From the perspective of levels, the rectification movement will be carried out at two levels: one is the rectification of senior party and government cadres, and the other is the rectification of ordinary cadres and ordinary party members. The focus will be on the rectification of middle and senior cadres, especially senior cadres.

　The difference between the two is that the content and focus of the rectification of senior cadres is mainly on discussing the party's political line, while the rectification of general cadres and ordinary party members is mainly on rectifying ideological methods and work style.

　The common point between the two is that both are aimed at summarizing the Party's historical and current experience, eliminating the influence of certain right-wing opportunist errors, and through criticizing sectarianism and subjectivism, educating the entire Party to learn to apply the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint, and method to study and solve the practical problems of Japan's socialist revolution and construction.

　Ibaraki Hanafugi had made similar remarks before, but they were all fragmentary. This time he finally put them together in a concentrated and relatively systematic manner.

　"Since we are carrying out the rectification movement, should the fight against corruption also be strengthened? Should we do it in parallel with the rectification movement?" another Politburo Standing Committee member asked.

　"My stance on anti-corruption has always been clear," Ibaraki Hanafumi emphasized. "Different approaches can be discussed, but corruption cannot be tolerated. The anti-corruption campaign must maintain its current high-pressure stance."

　However, anti-corruption work is anti-corruption work, and the rectification movement is the rectification movement. The former is to eradicate the scum of the people, and the latter is to educate party members and promote unity. The two cannot be confused.

　"Understood, Comrade Chairman."

　……

　After the meeting, the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party began to make theoretical preparations for the Rectification Movement. Ibaraki Hanasu and other members of the Central Political Bureau wrote a number of articles based on the historical and current situation inside and outside the party, combined with Marxist theory, which would serve as learning materials for the Rectification Movement in the future.

　Chapter 401: Daily Troubles

　"One of the key characteristics of social democrats and their political parties is that they blindly follow the crowd. This tendency to follow the crowd without rationality or critical thinking has become a major factor in their repeated loss of principles..."

　In the chairman's office, Ibaraki Hanafumi was writing reports and theoretical materials for the rectification movement after the meeting. She paused and began writing, pondering her ideas as she picked up her pen.

　“The history of the development of social democracy has repeatedly demonstrated that all political parties, whether the British Labour Party, the Italian Communist Party, the German Social Democratic Party, or any of the others, have embarked on a path of degeneration, starting with the denial of armed struggle, moving on to the denial of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally removing Marxism, socialism, and even public ownership from their party constitutions…”

　Ibaraki Hanaou continued writing tirelessly, but at this moment, she had no idea that an uninvited guest had come to her office.

　"Hey, what are you writing?" A loli voice sounded next to Ibaraki Hanasu's ear, and then Ibaraki Hanasu saw that his draft was quickly taken away.

　"!" Hua Shan was startled and immediately looked up to see what was going on. He saw an old friend of his - Ibuki Suika.

　"Tsk... When did you sneak in? I didn't even sense your presence? And give the manuscript back to me, it's very important material!" Ibaraki Hanasu scolded.

　"Let me see. It's not like I won't give it back to you. You were so engrossed in writing, it's normal that I didn't notice it." Ibuki Suika smiled slightly tipsy, opened her wine gourd and took a big sip.

　Ibuki Suika picked up the material and read it aloud: "This precisely demonstrates the necessity of proletarian revolution. Abandoning armed struggle, opposing armed struggle, will inevitably lead to class reconciliation and the abandonment of class struggle. Ultimately, these various social democratic parties will be unable to have any fundamental political propositions other than fighting for higher wages and other economic issues... Excellent! Very good!"

　Ibuki Suika's voice actually confused Ibaraki Hanafu. She couldn't help but ask, "No, Ibuki, do you really understand what I wrote?"

　Ibaraki Hanasu seriously doubts

　Ibuki Suika is pretending to know everything and applauding blindly. It's like the Chinese 2D world watching the shogi anime "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!", where they don't understand anything and just post comments like "Great flag" and "Great move" in the comments.

　"I don't understand what ideologies are, but…" Ibuki Suika gently shook her manuscript and continued, "I understand armed struggle. If you can take action against the bad guys, don't waste time talking. Fighting is the only way to completely solve the problem."

　Ibaraki Hanafu couldn't help but roll his eyes and grumbled, "You know nothing... This is called a vulgar understanding."

　Ibuki returned the manuscript to Ibaraki Huashan. Then she pointed to a large bowl of Dongpo pork with rice in a corner of Huashan's desk, which had already gone cold, and scolded Huashan: "Look at you, you write these things every day and forget to even eat."

　As she spoke, Ibuki Suika picked up her chopsticks and dabbed at the rice bowl that was 70% pork and 30% rice. In a flash, she picked up the largest piece of pork belly and put it into her mouth.

　Ibaraki Hanasu had long been accustomed to this. She sighed, "You really can't do anything without eating and drinking for free... So, what exactly do you want here?"

　"It's nothing, isn't today Setsubun (the day before the Spring Equinox)?" Ibuki Suika stated the purpose of her visit.

　"The whole of Kyoto is filled with the stench of hibiscus branches and sardine heads, and there are those idiots who waste food by scattering fried beans. I figured you guys couldn't handle this, so I'm going to hide here for a while. It's only for a day anyway."

　Ibuki Suika stuck out her tongue, looking hopeless. From her tone and expression, it was easy to hear/see that she really didn't like Setsubun, the strange smell that filled Kyoto.

　Ibaraki Hanasu stared at Ibuki Suika, and an intriguing smile gradually appeared on her face. She didn't say anything but took out a gas mask from somewhere under the desk.

　"Aren't you dissatisfied with the smell outside Kyoto today? Just take this with you and you'll be fine." Ibaraki Hanasu put the things on the table and said.

　"When I go out wearing this thing, people look at me like I'm idiot. And I have to take it off every time I drink a sip of wine? They're so cold, do they really want to chase me away..." Ibuki Suika pretended to be disappointed and said that she felt that the fan was to send her away.

　Ibaraki Hanafu felt both amused and helpless, and tried to poke Suixiang in the face, "I understand your desire to avoid the Setsubun Festival, but is this the only reason you came to me?"

　"Of course there is one more thing. Now that I'm the boss, can you ask humans to change this rubbish custom of Setsubun?" Ibuki Suika finally revealed her true purpose.

　"Pah!" Ibaraki Hanafu knocked Ibuki Suika's horn and scolded her, "This is the people's government, the people's party, not just mine! You're asking me to abuse my power for personal gain!"

　"I really don't understand what this path you've taken has brought you. When you reach the top, you become less and less free. It would be great if you could be as free as me." Ibuki Suika complained.

　Ibaraki Hanaogi didn't respond to Ibuki Suika's complaint, but instead continued the topic of changing the Setsubun custom, "I hate the smell on Setsubun, too, and I want to change it.

　But some things can only be gradually changed, not eliminated with a single decree. That would be counterproductive, leaving the people confused and anxious. Besides, the stench only lasts one day a year, so just bear with it and it will pass."

　"So you gave me a gas mask to tell me that this is hopeless? Woo..." It didn't feel good at all to be rejected by an old friend, Ibuki Suika muttered.

　"..." Ibaraki Hanaou tilted her head slightly, gazing at Ibuki Suika, whose height barely reached her chest. Finally, her heart softened. "Although I can't discuss changing the Setsubun custom, I'd still be happy to buy you a drink."

　As he spoke, Ibaraki Hanafugi stood up and walked to the counter, took out a large bottle of liquor and some wine containers, ready to entertain Ibuki Suika.

　"Due to my status, the wines here are all incredibly affordable. I hope you don't mind... Hey!"

　Ibaraki Hanafuji just turned around and saw a disheartening scene, "Ibuki! You almost finished my Dongpo pork in the time it took me to get a glass of wine?! I haven't even eaten yet!"

　……

　The next day, the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party held an enlarged meeting of the Revolutionary Military Commission to discuss the next steps in the deployment of military operations.

　"…We have been worried about the Self-Defense Forces' recent deployment of more than 20 newly trained divisions. It is not difficult to see that this is a desperate move by Fumio Kishida." Ibaraki Hanafugi gestured at the map and said to the military committee members.

　"The maximum number of troops we can currently deploy to the front lines is only two-thirds of the LDP's. As a general rule, we must not exceed the enemy's total strength and equipment, and we must not rashly launch a strategic decisive battle.

　Especially at the junction of Sekigahara and Chubu, the Liberal Democratic Party has built a large number of deep defensive fortifications by taking advantage of the terrain and urban buildings, which will make our actions more difficult."

　Ibaraki Hanafugi paused for a moment, then continued, "But Sekigahara, as the junction between Kansai and central Japan, is not something we can't avoid, and bypassing it is even more unrealistic.

　However, we have special forces and shipgirls, which are powerful factors that make up for our disadvantage in terms of manpower. Therefore, this Battle of Sekigahara is not only unavoidable, but we can also fight and win it in terms of our capabilities!

　Next, the military committee discussed various detailed combat deployments and operations. Everyone expressed their opinions and brainstormed to formulate the best possible combat plan. Among them, Ibaraki Huashan was the most enthusiastic about the plan.

　The final settlement played a major role.

　In war, many things are relative. For example, when you are planning, others are also planning.

　In the Prime Minister's official residence in Tokyo, Fumio Kishida, the Defense Minister, and a group of Self-Defense Force generals were also discussing Sekigahara.

　In front of the strategic map hanging on the wall, Kishida Fumio addressed the seated generals in a profound tone, as if he were giving them training: "...The Sekigahara region has been the site of numerous large and small-scale battles throughout history, and it is difficult to say whether they were right or wrong.

　"Historians have invariably noted that it was this ancient battlefield that determined the rise and fall of countless Warring States daimyo. Therefore, Sekigahara has been a battleground for military strategists from ancient times to the present day."

　"Back then, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his army led the Eastern Army, which was divided into six divisions and marched westward. They defeated the Western Army led by the daimyo Ishida Mitsunari, Mōri Hidemoto, Kobayakawa Hideaki, and Ukita Hideie, achieving a resounding victory. This ultimately brought an end to the chaotic Warring States period, unified the Land of the Rising Sun, and ushered in the Edo Period."

　"And now, in terms of geographical location, we are equivalent to Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army at that time, and Ibaraki is equivalent to the Western Army at that time. This is simply a hint from heaven. In this modern Battle of Sekigahara, our army will surely repel the Red Bandits' attack!"

　"...I don't understand why everyone is talking about how things are different now, as if this ancient battlefield of Sekigahara is destined to be disastrous for us?

　After the Battle of Sekigahara, the Tokugawa clan was unstoppable and unrivaled. How could this ancient battlefield, where the Eastern Army once triumphed, become our burial ground in modern times?

　...The Red Bandits have shipgirls and those vaccinators? So what? Our meticulously planned and constructed fortresses and Sekigahara Line are no pushovers!

　Regardless, the force strength in this Sekigahara Battle is 30 versus 20, and with the support of various fortifications, the advantage is mine!

　Chapter 402: No News from Moscow (1)

　Moscow, Soviet Russia

　Today, the Kremlin closed earlier than usual, and Aurora had more time to herself than usual.

　Now, she had just locked the door to the chairman's office and walked down the stairs to the public garage with a relieved step, ready to drive to a concert.

　"I almost couldn't get a ticket, luckily I reacted quickly," Aurora said thankfully, checking the ticket information on her phone. It showed "Adult Ticket for Crocus City Concert Hall Concert."

　In Russia, offline concerts and dance shows are generally sold out. This is perhaps an important reflection of the cultural life of one of the most artistically accomplished nations.

　Apart from anything else, the street singers that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys can prove this; even an inconspicuous sixty-year-old man may be able to play a little piano piece.

　Even the four great warriors who were "married far away" to China, all of them can play musical instruments and sing. Of course, this may be more of the effect of the strong learning ability of the ship girls.

　Arriving in front of the car, Aurora took out the car keys and opened the driver's door. After the graceful girl got into the driver's seat, she twisted the key into the slot and started the engine.

　"Hmmmm--boom!" The Lada 2107 car that Aurora was sitting in made a wonderful sound that was unique to an internal combustion engine.

　"According to TASS, the 13th Soviet Russian Nuclear Industry Exhibition International Forum will be held on March 25, next Monday, at the Sirius Science and Art Park in Sochi..." the car radio broadcast followed.

　The clutch, gear and steering wheel movements were all done in one go, and the entire car reversed out of the garage smoothly without any pause, and then drove out of the garage.

　As the head of state, Aurora had learned about the news about the nuclear industry exhibition earlier than TASS. She had ambitious long-term plans for nuclear energy, such as restarting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

　When she had talked with GKIOP before, the president of GKIOP (Eve) had briefly mentioned that they would develop universal humanoid robots. Aurora saw the possibility of giving Chernobyl a new lease of life from the vision of robotics.

　After all, high-risk jobs like cleaning up nuclear radiation are definitely safer and more efficient for robots than for humans. Given the current population situation in the Soviet Union, it would be wise to save as much manpower as possible in medium- and high-risk jobs.

　Humanoid robots, radioactive wastelands, abandoned industrial facilities and infrastructure... well, the scene is a bit like déjà vu... I suggest that a certain Chiang Kai-shek be captured and sent to rebuild Pripyat (no mercy).

　However, for now, restarting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still impossible in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, how can it be said that this is just a long-term concept? Thinking about these things is better than thinking about the Red Navy's large-scale construction plan.

　Aurora's little Lada was driving along Moscow's broad main road, but it was not a comfortable road to drive on.

　"What's going on? Are all the people in the city getting off work early today? Why is this road more congested than usual?" Aurora was puzzled. She took out her mobile phone, opened the map navigation to check the traffic conditions, and at the same time listened carefully to the traffic report on the traffic station.

　"There wasn't a traffic accident. I should have taken the subway, or... forget it."

　In this long traffic jam, Aurora suddenly had an idea: turn off the engine, get out of the car, lift the car high above her head, walk on the asphalt road between the cars in the traffic jam, leave the main road with the car, find a parking space to park the car, and then take the subway to the concert hall.

　although

　Although it is physically feasible, due to objective constraints (traffic regulations, passers-by's perceptions) and her own status as a leader, Aurora immediately denied this idea.

　"Let's take another road. I remember that road never had much traffic. Let's take that road." When Aurora's car came to the next intersection, she turned left into another road and drove towards the road that was not congested.

　Unfortunately, Aurora miscalculated.

　Aurora was utterly depressed, feeling like her luck was incredibly bad today. This normally traffic-free road was now blocked due to a traffic accident. Furthermore, the accident had only just happened. When Aurora listened to the traffic announcement, everything seemed normal.

　Traffic jams are most unbearable for manual transmission drivers. The constant tightening and loosening of the clutch can leave your left foot sore. Aurora's Lada 2107 is a manual transmission, but since it's a relatively comfortable car for a KanColle, it doesn't really matter.

　As a result, the unexpected traffic jam caused Aurora to arrive late, and she arrived at the Crocus City Concert Hall ten minutes late.

　Finding a parking space and getting from the parking lot to the theater seat both took time. To be precise, Aurora was fifteen minutes late for the concert.

　To avoid attracting attention, Aurora had disguised herself before going out, changing her hairstyle, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and her clothes were also very ordinary casual clothes, full of the youthful (hush) vitality of women. So when she entered, she did not attract much attention.

　At this moment, elegant symphony echoed in the hall. The conductor and musicians on the stage were fully immersed in the world of performance, bringing the audience one string of beautiful and pleasant melodies after another.

　Aurora listened attentively to this musical event, savoring every syllable of the sound. "Hmm... This band's performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major was excellent. It was well worth the price of admission."

　Ten minutes later, one piece ended and another began. The next piece was Bach's "Aria in G," and Aurora had a very high opinion of Bach's music.

　The Baroque era boasted three great musical masters: Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel. Bach, known as the "Father of Music," was the most influential and renowned of these three. Therefore, Aurora believes that Bach could easily be ranked first among these three.

　The orchestra's performance of "Aria on the G String" possessed a pure and sacred melody, imbued with poetic imagery, pure and elegant, even evoking a profound sense of meaning. Like the first snowfall on a winter morning, it possessed a delightful spiritual impact on the listener. Overall, the performance was highly commendable.
