It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Where will the graves of these soldiers be moved to? The deceased must have a stable place to rest, right?" Worker B, who is indifferent to major politics, cares about these small matters of the country.

　Worker C, who was more informed, said, "The coffin and urn will be transported by another professional team. I heard they will be buried in the owner's hometown."

　Worker A looked at Worker C with interest and handed him a cigarette. "Hey, brother, you seem to know a lot about this. I want to ask you a question."

　"Ah, thanks, brother." Worker C took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, took a puff, and said, "Ask me anything. I can answer anything I know."

　"What do you think of Shen Hai? There has been a lot of debate on the Internet. Some say Shen Hai is a really good person, while others say Shen Hai is just pretending to be a good person. I'm a little confused." Worker A asked.

　Worker C said naturally, "How? Of course, we'll evaluate it based on what Deep Sea is doing. As I said earlier, they've effectively addressed social issues that are of great concern to many people. That alone gives us a glimpse into their potential."

　In my family, my cousin is addicted to drugs. Marijuana and other drugs are commonplace, and sometimes he even takes morphine and cocaine. If Shen Hai hadn't come and distributed drug rehabilitation drugs, he would have been so depressed that I'm afraid he would have never been able to recover.

　Not only in my home, but you should have noticed that the homeless people and drug addicts on the streets have almost disappeared. And the public streets are clean. I have never seen such clean streets in my life for more than 30 years.

　Also, my father died of the COVID-19 pandemic. He could have been cured, but he just kept delaying it until he died.

　I don't need to tell you what the federal government is doing about this COVID-19 pandemic.

　Then there are the issues of guns and public safety. For example, in 2023, the entire year since the founding of the United States, shootings and crime rates hit record lows. It's no exaggeration to say that the figures were practically halved.

　Although Shen Hai and his colleagues are a bit rigid and impersonal, this is exactly what American society needs today. Isn't the nepotism of various politicians in the past disgusting enough?

　So at this point, do you think Shen Hai is a good guy or a bad guy? Can this really be faked? If Shen Hai is really pretending, and he can pretend to be this good, then he is no different from a good guy. We judge by his actions, not his heart.

　"Although... the Deep Sea seems a bit undemocratic," Worker A wondered. "Ever since the founding of the New America, the candidates have been pre-selected, and voting feels like a formality."

　"So what did these pre-selected people do after they were elected? They did things that politicians couldn't finish in ten years, and they were highly efficient. Isn't this ten times or eight times better than those politicians before?" said Worker C.

　Worker C then asked a counter-question: "Besides, what do you think democracy is? Universal elections? Live debates? Political lobbying? It seems very fancy, and the atmosphere is perfectly created...but these are just forms of democracy.

　What is the true meaning of democracy? Are the concerns of the people being addressed? But in previous American society, politicians were always obsessed with the formality of democracy, rather than seeking the true meaning of democracy.

　They just use us as stepping stones to profit, only remembering the voters when the election is approaching. Once elected, they do as they please, and it's not uncommon for them to turn their backs on their own accords. All this wrangling and arguing, and in the end, nothing gets done. What the hell is democracy?

　Worker A thought about it and felt that the man's words actually made sense. He then asked a controversial question: "What you said makes sense, but I still have reservations about some of Deep Sea's practices, such as transgender issues..."

　"Deep Sea Transgender will help you to cross gender in the true sense. It will completely turn you into a beautiful woman with a curvy figure without any side effects. You will not be an ugly monster that is neither male nor female," said Worker C.

　"The new American government has a firm stance on LGBTQ rights. We are all ordinary people, and we support equal rights, not privileges. That's all. Any discrimination against another will be punished by law.

　Political correctness is an issue many politicians dare not touch, but Shen Hai does. She dares to impose special treatment and impose it on others, using both carrot and stick to resolve the issue. She simply possesses this audacity, fearless and unwavering. Without this audacity, how could she possibly restore order to the divided and chaotic society of contemporary America?

　With such execution, the federal government's bunch of incompetents aren't even worthy of carrying their shoes. With strong execution and sound decision-making, I don't know what the intention is in saying the deep sea is fake.

　"Then what do you think about some people asking to become one of them?" Worker A asked.

　"This question is also controversial, and I personally can't quite wrap my head around it. It's not necessary to change a race just to cure a terminal illness, right? But seeing how happy those people are after their transformations, able to climb walls and stun towers... I can't say for sure."

　Worker A recalled the major events of the past two years and said, "Didn't Japan have similar violent incidents a few years ago? This is what I'm more worried about."

　"That kind of thing is definitely Japan's own doing. Look at Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in Japan recently. Weren't their problematic health products exposed? Hundreds of people have died from them and nearly a thousand have been hospitalized." Worker C said.

　"Based on this point, and considering we've had no problems so far, it's almost certain that Japan is responsible for their unilateral misconduct using deep-sea technology. Furthermore, they have a history of human biochemical experiments..."

　"Hey, it's time to work! It's time to work! Get moving!" The foreman's shouts from a distance interrupted the two people's discussion and also interrupted the construction team's rest.

　When Worker C heard this, he immediately took the last two puffs of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it twice to make sure it was out, and then went to work with his fellow workers.

　Deep Sea America Washington White House

　In the Oval Office, Admiralty Code was lying on a luxurious office chair with his legs crossed, listening to Deep Sea No. 1's battle report.

　“…It turns out that Texans are really good at fighting. Kamala has now increased the number of troops against Texas to 15, and he can still barely defend himself and even launch some tactical counterattacks.

　Texas' independence is a heavy blow to the United States' armored combat vehicle production capacity and oil, gas and metallurgical production capacity. The production line of the United States' only fourth-generation main battle tank, 'Abrams X', is located in Texas.

　According to reliable intelligence sources, the first batch of Abrams Xs had just rolled off the production line and hadn't even been shipped out when Texas became independent. The Texas National Guard is currently using these Abrams Xs.

　Judging from the battle reports from the front lines, the frequency of American armored combat vehicles appearing on the front lines has decreased significantly. Because heavy equipment production capacity has not kept pace with troop mobilization, the majority of newly recruited troops are motorized infantry divisions.

　According to reliable intelligence, the quality of many of these newly recruited troops pales in comparison to that of the pre-war US military.

　This situation is beneficial to our next battle plan.

　In addition, most of the US Navy's large ships are still under repair, and it is estimated that it will take about a month for them to be repaired to the point where they can be put back into combat.

　Due to the FBI and CIA's increased efforts to protect the shipbuilding industry, the intelligence sisters' sabotage work has become more difficult, but I firmly believe they can still complete the mission..."

　After hearing the report, AC smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Most of the above is what I was looking for. 1. When you go down, tell the front lines that the new round of operations can begin."

　This time, we must launch a strategic offensive across the entire southern front. We must, at all costs, capture as much of North Carolina as possible. After capturing North Carolina, we will attempt to move on to South Carolina.

　After all, the South Carolina border has the US military's first permanent fortress defense line. Although it's not completely repaired, it's already 60% complete. If we don't attack it while it's still under construction, do we have to wait until it's completely finished before attacking it?

　"Yes, Lord Admiralty Code!"

　AC thought for a moment and added, "This window of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We've been holding back for so long, it's time to go big! Let the US military know that in the same amount of time, we can definitely hold back at least five or six more times than you can."

　Chapter 411: The Army's Morale Shaken

　At a point within the Wilmington-Greensboro perimeter in North Carolina, a drone reconnaissance team conducts a routine reconnaissance of deep-sea positions.

　This so-called defense line is actually not a permanent or semi-permanent fortification like the Maginot Line or the Stalin Line. It is more like a puls version of the Dragon's Tooth Line in the Russo-Ukrainian War in the real plane.

　"It's so fucking annoying. Every time I get close to something, the screen is covered in snow. What are the higher-ups thinking? Is it any use flying drones over there every day?" A drone scout complained in a trench somewhere.

　He picked up the drone's control terminal and showed his comrades a screen full of snowflakes. As the soldier said, seeing snowflakes at close range was commonplace.

　All he got in return for his complaints was a rebuke from the squad leader: "There's always a loophole. How do you know the other side's jamming equipment isn't malfunctioning? Or is it shielding a blind spot?"

　"According to what you said, a drone that can't fly back is not money?" The drone scout spread his hands and said.

　The squad leader retorted, "Isn't there a buffer zone between the deep-sea position and us? Although the drone will be snowy when it approaches the deep-sea position, it can check the half of the buffer zone near us to see if there is any deep-sea activity."

　"Opposite drone! Shoot!" A roar came from another team not far away, and the sound of gunfire shooting into the air suddenly rang out.

　Everyone subconsciously looked up and found that the drone was not shot down, but was flying towards them.

　"Damn! This bastard is flying towards us! Fire, fire!" The squad leader immediately raised his M5 rifle and shot at the drone. Seeing this, the other soldiers also opened fire into the air.

　"Engineer!" the squad leader shouted loudly.

　"exist!"

　"Take this guy down with a shotgun!" the squad leader said. "That's your specialty as a skeet shooter."

　The engineer didn't dare to delay. He raised his hand and fired a shot. The first shot missed, and after the click of the pump, he fired again.

　"Oh, good! I got it!" The engineer shouted happily as he watched the drone start to fall.

　However, everyone saw something falling from the drone a second before it fell. All the soldiers present thought it was a bomb and shouted to get down.

　With a "bang", the thing exploded in the air, but the explosion did not cause any casualties. On the contrary, a bunch of paper pieces flew out, which looked to be A5 size.

　"Is anyone injured?!" After the explosion, the soldiers opened their eyes to check if any of their comrades were injured or killed.

　Only then did they discover that there were pieces of paper scattered around them, or being scattered, with something written on them. One of the soldiers picked it up and saw that it contained various messages persuading them to surrender.

　"Don't look! Don't pick it up! This is just a trick of the deep sea!" When the soldier wanted to continue watching, the squad leader rushed over and snatched the leaflet away.

　When there were no large-scale operations, the Deep Sea would occasionally use drones to harass US military positions. Sometimes they used leaflets to persuade them to surrender, but more often they used bombs.

　Sometimes, however, paper bombs are more effective than real ones. With the war having been going on for over a year, there has been an increase in small units on the front lines defecting to the enemy. That's why the squad leader felt so threatened when faced with these leaflets.

　After the squad leader collected the leaflets from all the soldiers, he took a look at the contents of the leaflets and wanted to criticize them.

　This squad leader is an American with relatively firm beliefs. He read the flyer simply to see what kind of stupid content Shen Hai had written, and he didn't mean the ironic "critical XX (+ verb)" that people say on the Internet.

　It only reads about the dark side of the United States, then talks about the achievements of the deep sea, and then attaches relevant photos. This contrast creates a huge contrast and gives people a strong visual impact.

　After the comparison, he wrote another question, which read, "Is it worth it to continue fighting for such a dirty America?"

　Finally, some expectations and warmth

　The sentence: "The door of the new America is always open to you. Welcome everyone to turn from darkness to light. Join us and build a more fair and just America."

　The squad leader frowned upon seeing this content. Although he wasn't sure about the veracity of Deep Sea's description of the region under his jurisdiction, the most important thing about this content was that its criticism of the United States was completely accurate and to the point.

　"Hmph, fnmdp! This must be Shenhai glorifying himself. It's not like I haven't read history. You bitches who invaded the United States can't fool me!" The squad leader said with a look of disgust.

　As a seasoned freedom fighter, the squad leader felt that Shen Hai's tricks were like an egg against a rock, especially since he didn't know whether Shen Hai's propaganda was true.

　After saying that, he squatted down, took out a lighter, and set all the leaflets in his hand on fire. "You are so stubborn that you can't even wipe your ass with it. Burn it to ashes quickly and don't disturb the morale of the army!"

　After burning the leaflets, he patted the engineer on the shoulder and praised him, "You really have an advantage in this area of ​​skeet shooting. I hope you keep up the good work and try to destroy it with one shot next time. Come on!"

　"Yes, sir!" After being commended, the engineer straightened his back and responded to the squad leader in a bright and energetic manner.

　After this brief incident, everyone returned to their posts. A soldier at the observation post looked around, saw no one was paying attention, and reached into his pocket, pulling out the leaflet he had secretly picked up. He read the text and fell into deep thought.

　This soldier had a close friend from their school days, but due to academic reasons, the two went their separate ways geographically. To pursue his career, the friend went to New York alone, and the two of them usually only kept in touch online.

　Later, a deep-sea raid on the United States caused the two to lose contact, which made him extremely anxious. The soldiers often called him on social networks to see if he had any news, but there was no response.

　After a while, the deep-sea occupied area opened its network to the outside world, and the soldier's good brother finally replied to the message, telling the soldier that everything was fine.

　In the days that followed, the soldier learned about some of the deep-sea governance issues through this good brother, which made him realize that the information in the leaflet was not false propaganda. Now, facing this leaflet, it is inevitable that he will waver.

　At first, they used apps such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to communicate. Since the US government banned all positive content about the deep sea on Twitter and Facebook, they switched to TikTok.

　Because Tiktok is not controlled by the United States, there is more content about the deep sea on Tiktok than on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube before the complete ban, and the corresponding positive news is also much more than the former, so this soldier knows a lot more.

　In early October last year, he was drafted by the US government to serve as a fill-in baby. Due to the confidentiality requirements, he rarely used social networks since then.

　The next time he accessed the social network, Tiktok was no longer accessible - because he had been driven out of the US market by the US government using all kinds of unreasonable means, and he could no longer see content about the deep sea.

　More importantly, his good brother told him that he was diagnosed with mid-to-late stage esophageal cancer, which made him even more anxious.

　This soldier's brother had always loved spicy and hot food, and he also loved eating a lot. Add to that the negative effects of genes and the environment, and it's not surprising that he developed esophageal cancer in his middle age.

　"If the deep sea is so good, then what are we fighting for? Why are we fighting good people?" The soldiers couldn't help but have such questions in their minds.

　This question easily leads to a terrifying question, at least for ordinary Americans: Is the federal government a bad guy? Because only bad people would attack good people, right?

　It then delves into the nature of war, whether continued resistance still makes sense, and the legitimacy of the contemporary U.S. federal government.

　In fact, the very beginning of the United States' legitimacy was built on the barrel of a gun. With the support of France, Washington launched his rebellion, starting with the sound of the gunfire at Bushi and continuing with the victory at Bushi, driving out the lobster soldiers, defeating the British bandit army, and ultimately securing independence.

　In other words, from a legal perspective, if there is a war to overthrow the old America and establish a new America, it is actually legal as long as it has the support of the masses.

　Therefore, launching a violent revolution in the United States is theoretically legal under certain conditions, but the nature of the revolution is another matter.

　But theory is theory, reality is reality. Anyone with a basic understanding of politics knows that if this were to happen, Congress and the White House would definitely not accept it. This is the so-called political flexibility.

　Especially when you use communism or socialism as your banner, they can even wantonly trample on the "legal spirit" they created.

　After reading the leaflet, the soldier sighed and said, "What will happen to America in the future..."

　He folded up the leaflets, leaned forward, put his eyes close to the end of the artillery telescope, and began to observe the movements in the distance.

　There are many soldiers like him who have similar ideas in the entire front line of the US military.

　Chapter 412 An old friend is crazy

　[Preface, last night in the group, an old friend who had been silent for many years suddenly came alive again

　He's been making outrageous political and historical comments, and he's still stubbornly saying them. It's completely ruining my mood for plot development, so I'll just write some daily routines to take a break.

　———Main text dividing line——

　Longhua District, Haikou, Hainan

　Longhua District is considered the central business district of Haikou City. It was also one of the earliest developed areas after Hainan Province was established in 1988.

　Among them is a hotel that Haikou people are very familiar with. It was built at the turn of the century - the Golden Sea View Hotel. It is located here. At that time, it was the tallest building in Haikou. Now it is no longer ranked among the buildings in Haikou CBD.

　The top floor of the building is a low cylindrical structure. Inside this cylindrical structure is a revolving buffet restaurant. Today, Lao Zhan was fortunate to accompany a distant relative from Southeast Asia to dine there.

　When Lao Zhan and his family arrived at the hotel, he looked at the hotel gate and couldn't help but sigh: "When I was young, I always thought this place was very high-end, and the revolving restaurant on the rooftop was the epitome of luxury. Now it seems just average."

　"Of course you have. When you were a kid, you had never been out of Haikou. Now that you are knowledgeable and experienced, you must think this is nothing." Lao Zhan's father said with a joking smile.

　Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked into the hotel and took the elevator to the revolving buffet restaurant on the top floor.

　Whenever James' father talks about buffets, he always repeats his son's embarrassing moments and teases him: "Son, do you still remember the first time your dad took you to a buffet when you were a kid? You just grabbed the fried rice when you walked in."

　Hearing his father teasing him about this again, Lao Zhan laughed and said, "Back then, I was young and it was my first time eating at a buffet, so I didn't know much. But now it's different."

　After the family sat down, everyone stood up and walked to the food pick-up area, picked up their plates, and looked for their favorite food to take.

　James took several plates of salmon and steak and placed them on the table at his table. When James' father saw this, he said, "You only took salmon and steak? Don't you want to eat anything else?"
