It is Kokang and Changchun

　"What else?" Old James asked. Then Old James leaned forward slightly and said to his father in a deliberately low voice: "If you don't eat these expensive foods, how are you going to make your money back? Right?"

　When Lao Zhan's father heard this, he felt both amused and helpless: "Just enjoy the buffet, don't worry about whether you can make back your money or not. It will sound so bad if you tell others about it."

　"I'm just calculating the economics. You don't feel embarrassed when you bargain while shopping, so why is it embarrassing to make back your money at a buffet?" Lao Zhan felt puzzled.

　Lao Zhan's mother shook her head and complained: "He's almost 24 years old, but he's acting like a child..."

　"Son, tell me, if everyone wants to make a profit from eating like you do, how can the buffet business continue?" The father talked to his son in a friendly manner.

　"People's appetite is limited. There are only a few people who can afford to eat enough to make a profit. Moreover, it is impossible for these people to eat buffets for every meal. Dad, your worry is completely groundless." Lao Zhan felt that his father's worries were completely unfounded.

　Speaking of this topic, Lao Zhan suddenly remembered an interesting story about Changchun. Changchun once told Lao Zhan that when he first became a spirit, he used the little money he earned from dubbing Huanmeng in Anshan to go to a buffet.

　Later, after the existence of Kancolle was made public, the owner of the barbecue buffet contacted the army, saying that Changchun and the others had to pay for their previous overeating, otherwise he would file a complaint with the central government.

　Since Changchun and the others had indeed eaten too much, it was indeed their fault. In addition, the North Sea Fleet (the Kanmusu Fleet had not yet been established at the time, and Changchun was under the jurisdiction of the North Sea Fleet) had no choice but to take the initiative to make up the money based on the idea that less trouble is more.

　As for Changchun and the others, the military asked Changchun to wash dishes for the restaurant owner on a voluntary basis during non-closed training to pay off the "meal debt." After washing dishes for more than half a year, the three little ones finally paid off their meal debt.

　After that, Changchun discovered while shopping that several buffet restaurants had signs in black and white outside saying "No Kancolles allowed".

　Even some respectful buffet restaurants require that ship girls enter to dine, but they must be accompanied and supervised by store staff throughout the meal and must follow the instructions of the store staff, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter.

　After all, the shipgirls are the ones who can really bankrupt a buffet restaurant. The buffet restaurant owner wouldn't dare bet on how much awareness the shipgirls have in this regard...

　Anyway, there is a video cache on Lao Zhan’s phone of him buying a whole salmon weighing six or seven kilograms in Changchun, and then eating it in no time, including the skin, flesh and bones.

　Only a higher-level foodie like Jinan can match the speed of showing off his fish.

　After chatting with his parents for a few minutes, Lao Zhan lowered his head and began to enjoy the food. He picked up a piece of sashimi with orange and white stripes, put it in the soy sauce with wasabi, and put it in his mouth to savor it carefully.

　Just as Lao Zhan started to chew two mouthfuls, a sudden impulse rushed to his head, "Damn! There is too much mustard!"

　Then came the aftereffects that made James burst into tears. He quickly picked up two more pieces of sashimi and stuffed them into his mouth, hoping to alleviate the spiciness of the mustard.

　"Forget it, let's make a new dish of sauce. This one has too much mustard." Lao Zhan got up and went to the place where the sauce was prepared and made himself a new portion of mustard and soy sauce.

　I have to say that salmon is one of the few fish that tastes better when eaten raw than when cooked. The texture of cooked salmon is very loose, more powdery, and has no chewiness at all.

　After finishing several plates of salmon and a steak, James decided to take a break to digest the food before continuing the next round of battle. Although salmon is soft and easy to digest, he still had to eat as much as possible to maximize his return on investment.

　Lao Zhan was browsing his phone when he suddenly found that an old friend who had been silent for a long time popped up in the group chat.

　"This guy hasn't shown up for hundreds of years. Why is he going crazy here again today?" Old Zhan frowned and complained.

　When he looked at the group carefully, he understood what had happened.

　It turned out that a group member forwarded a screenshot of German news, which roughly said that Germany passed the "Gender Self-Determination Law". Some of the provisions in the law were very outrageous, such as: transgender people who call themselves "female" have the right to enter public facilities such as women's toilets, women's locker rooms, and women's bathrooms. The same applies to men's toilets, men's locker rooms, and men's bathrooms.

　Also: German citizens have one chance to change their gender every year, but they must apply to the government department three months in advance. German citizens aged 14-18 can apply for sex change with their parents' consent. Those under 14 need to apply for sex change to the government agency accompanied by their parents. Children under 5 years old are entirely decided by their parents.

　Regarding this issue, a netizen named "Red Fox" expressed full agreement with the abstract bill and even defended it, calling it progress. He then said that Leninist parties should be at the forefront of the times and proactively implement these changes. Finally, he endorsed the works of the liberal feminist Simone de Beauvoir.

　Lao Zhan said that you create more problems than you solve by doing this, but you are accused of being a revisionist by the other side.

　The red fox kept saying something else: "Don't be a Leninist party, be a party of all the people. Khrushchev would applaud you if he heard it. It turns out that both major and minor repairs are being made at the same time."

　James got furious when he heard this. "Wow, a question like whether to support a bill related to sexual minorities can be blown out of proportion and even labeled revisionist. And Marx and Engels were both anti-gay, so why not accuse these two founders of revisionism as well?"

　"The liberation of sexual minorities is closely related to the liberation of the broad masses of the proletariat." Red Fox blurted out this famous quote again.

　No, buddy, you're stealing the concept of women as a sexual minority. Is that really okay? What percentage of the population are transgender people?

　This small number of people means that this movement cannot be in the mainstream; it is a secondary movement subordinate to the mainstream class struggle.

　He can't even distinguish between the main and secondary contradictions. Women make up half of the population, so how can you, as a sexual minority, even have a fraction? If he had changed the subject to women, James wouldn't have been so angry.

　Of course, this doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of sexual minorities. Secondary contradictions must be resolved, but isn't it a bit... to confuse these subordinate contradictions with the main contradiction?

　As the discussion deepened, Chihu's true face was exposed - he was a "leftist" who believed that the current party and government were revisionist and anti-establishment.

　The further intensification of discussions and contradictions caused the atmosphere in the group to become tense for a time, and Chihu even made a radical statement that General Zhu was conservative.

　It is hard not to wonder whether he really believed that at that time, apart from the Cultural Revolution F4 and teachers, there was no good person or true revolutionary in the party?

　If this is truly the case, how did the CCP achieve the founding of the People's Republic of China? If these so-called "capitalist roaders" were truly so powerful, so all-powerful, wouldn't that indirectly imply that the teachers were incompetent? Wouldn't this simply boost others' morale and undermine their own prestige?

　Then, when it comes to the twists and turns and lessons learned in construction, there is a strong perception that it was all the "capitalist roaders" who caused the sabotage; to put it simply, the credit goes to the people's revolutionaries, and the mistakes are all the work of the "capitalist roaders."

　At the 7,000-person meeting, the teachers criticized themselves, saying they bore considerable responsibility for the Great Leap Forward. They admitted that they had done less field research after the founding of the People's Republic of China and had tended to be detached from the masses. Why can't some people see this and instead shift all the blame onto Liu and Deng? What's the real purpose behind this deification of the teachers? I remain in the dark for now.

　In his early years, Lao Zhan had been involved in many leftist groups and knew what the "leftist" members were like. One of the things he knew was that almost no leftist members had ever raised the issue of farmers fleeing to Hong Kong. Then Lao Zhan used this to test Chihu to see how he would respond.

　Chihu simply downplayed the issue: "Farmers lack understanding of the rules of capitalism. They only see the good side of Hong Kong and not the bad."

　Old Zhan was immediately shocked. My goodness, in order to criticize and fundamentally negate the 1978 revolution, all sorts of historical materialism and class analysis methods were unleashed, as in-depth and fundamental as they could be. How come when it comes to the issue of farmers fleeing to Hong Kong before the reform and opening up, only a superficial understanding of the issue remains?

　Is the shift from historical materialism to historical idealism a bit outrageous? Or is it that some people believe that peasants are a backward class and can do whatever they want, and this is a clear reactionary manifestation of the backward class?

　The double standards are exposed so blatantly.

　Yet, the second-generation migrant workers, often reviled by some as worthless, understand the issue of farmers fleeing to Hong Kong more clearly than you do. Without economic development, improvements in living standards, and a global pace of development, the problem of migrant workers fleeing to Hong Kong will never be resolved, and the military won't be able to stop them.

　Instead of reflecting on whether there are problems with their own construction, they always blame capitalism for any problems they encounter, the "capitalist roaders" for any problems, and say that they cannot withstand the colorful sugar-coated bullets. They regard external factors as the main and fundamental reasons, and they are reckless.

　The skill of exaggerating things is maxed out, and the spirit of self-criticism is completely gone.

　They believe that social history and production relations follow a predetermined line in their minds, and basically do not consider whether the production relations are adapted to the productive forces. They exaggerate or even absolutize the reaction of production relations on the productive forces, thus sliding towards an idealist view of history and voluntarism.

　Likewise, the demise of the lifelong tenure system for leading cadres, something Zuo Ren rarely mentions. This was a formal system for the first 30 years, but was abolished in the 80s after the so-called "capitalist roaders" seized power.

　According to the "left," wouldn't this system help the "capitalist roaders" maintain their power? Just like Yeltsin established a super-presidential system to consolidate his own position, why abolish it? Who would benefit from abolishing it? Isn't this a contradiction?

　"Because there is no need to do so. I don't have to worry about being fought anymore." The red fox said with a clear conscience.

　Well, if that's the case. According to some people's thinking—"The revolutionary masses are inexhaustible, because truth exists forever"—how can a second revolution to overthrow the so-called "capitalist roaders" be impossible? Isn't this exactly what the teachers hoped for?

　Yeltsin could have anticipated the possibility of Soviet remnants overthrowing him and establishing a super-presidential system; then these so-called "capitalist roaders" are just a bunch of fools, couldn't they? Why not continue the lifelong tenure system for leading cadres?

　So, since the so-called "capitalist roaders" have cleared all obstacles, why not just go capitalist-roading instead of clinging to revisionism? Isn't capitalism more profitable than revisionism?

　Some people have said everything they want to say. Regarding Zuo Ren's self-contradictory and bizarre remarks, Lao Zhan has nothing to say. It's not that he is at a loss for words, but he feels speechless and speechless about what is going on in his opponent's brain.

　Later, Chihu even considered the Queen Mother a suspicious ally, accusing her of being a capitalist-roader. He even asked Lao Zhan and other group members, "Do you think she (the Queen Mother) is on our side because she 'believes in communism', or is she on our side because she thinks she can win?"

　What a tm cut, in the decade between the late 20s and the late 30s, without hindsight, from the perspective of ordinary people at that time, who believed that tg could win?

　On the contrary, during this period when the Communist Party's chances of victory were slimmest, Mr. Song remained steadfast in his support for the Communist Party. If victory were simply a matter of chance, then given the power balance at the time, the Mother of the Nation's stance would have been incomprehensible to outsiders.

　Isn't it her belief in communism that made her believe in the Communist Party in such a difficult situation? If she didn't have a true belief in communism, how could she still support tg during its most difficult and adverse period?

　Since some people care so much and use expressing communist views as the criterion for whether one is a communist, then people like Zhou Fuhai, Chen Gongbo, and Zhang Guotao are also communists.

　Decades of dedicated protection and support for the Communist Party were not as effective as a single communist statement. Everyone can say nice things, but actual actions taken over most of a lifetime are not something that opportunists can fake.

　If you reject people who support you, then you're not going to revolutionize your life. Be a lone hero! Be Don Quixote! Be a revolutionary martyr! Be self-satisfied!

　Some people are simply the opposite of what Tian Gang is! It's unreasonable!

　Chapter 413 American Soldiers

　The soldier observed carefully from a distance, trying to see and remember every movement.

　"Nothing here...nice, nothing here...nice, nothing there...OK." After an hour of repeated observation, the soldier did not find anything unusual.

　Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a greasy smell of tobacco came. Unlike ordinary tobacco, this smoke tasted a bit like lard.

　The soldier's heart tightened immediately. He turned around and yelled to a comrade not far away: "WTF! Don't smoke marijuana next to me! It smells terrible, get out of here!"

　"So what if I smoke two? It's legal! You're the only one in the platoon who can't stand the smell of marijuana, Walker. Are you a man?" The man smoking marijuana disagreed.

　Walker's face flushed instantly, and he loudly explained, "I can tell the difference between smoking and taking drugs! If you wanted to smoke regular cigarettes, I wouldn't say a word, but you're letting someone smoke secondhand marijuana, isn't that too much?!"

　"Marijuana is legal now, how can it be a drug? You who advocate banning marijuana are like giant babies. You'd better go home and drink milk." The soldier who smoked marijuana launched a sarcastic remark.

　"Lester, you have the guts to curse me again?!"

　"Oh, giant baby boys shouldn't be criticized?"

　"Mother fuck!" Walker cursed and immediately stepped forward to try to snatch Lester's marijuana cigarette.

　"Damn! What are you doing?!" Lester immediately blocked Walker's grab, and the fight between the two soon developed into a scuffle.

　"The fight has started! Quick! Go and call the squad leader!" Seeing this, the soldier in the same squad next to him quickly called someone to call the squad leader over.

　……

　After a while, the squad leader squatted on the ground, looked at Lester and Walker who were undergoing push-ups as punishment, and yelled, "You two guys, do you know you are wrong?!"

　"Got it..." the two men said in unison, somewhat exhausted. Perhaps they still felt a bit dissatisfied, but after five hundred consecutive prone poses, their tempers had basically faded.

　等两

　After everyone got up, the squad leader said, "Lester, marijuana is special. Stay away when you smoke it. And Walker, just call me for things like this from now on. Don't get into fights so easily."

　Especially at a time like this, if you have the energy, use it on the deep sea, or even their cunts. Don't use it to fight among yourselves on the front lines. Next time you do this, double the push-ups!"

　The squad leader's unique dirty jokes made the soldiers present burst out laughing, but Walker and Lester didn't dare to laugh at all, for fear that the squad leader would ask them to practice more.

　The squad leader's dirty joke is not unheard of in real life. As we all know, many US soldiers often cannot control their lower body stuff, often letting their penis control their boss, leaving seeds everywhere.

　As a race with the most beautiful CG faces, some of the Deep Sea who lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries during the battle became the targets of revenge and venting of these American soldiers.

　During a battle, a soldier injured Shen Hai and broke all four of her limbs with a gun. He then pulled down his pants, grabbed a large baton, and without a word, stabbed her insides. As a result, Shen Hai's "vagina tightening technique" was directly severed, forcing her to be admitted to the urology department of the hospital.

　After the news spread among the US military, no one dared to force the Deep Sea Overlord anymore, but it still did not prevent these gangsters from rubbing breasts and buttocks.

　Later, the deep sea creatures were disgusted by the behavior of the US military and unanimously decided that once they fell into the hands of the US military and had no ability to resist, they would directly self-destruct. As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated.

　So, under various coincidental circumstances, Deep Sea used this method, which objectively and effectively curbed the US military's indecent behavior - those who were unaware were killed by Deep Sea's self-explosion.

　After the squad leader left, Walker and Lester looked at each other meaningfully, and then returned to their respective posts.

　After returning to his post, Walker was still sullen. "If it weren't for the draft order sent home, who would be willing to come here and suffer injustice? It's so annoying..."

　Ever since marijuana was legalized, all kinds of drug addicts have been scattered everywhere, wreaking havoc on the world, as if the seal had been lifted.

　Before Walker joined the army, he lived in an apartment where the smell of his neighbor smoking marijuana would come in from the balcony almost every day, which made him very irritated.

　Later, with the outbreak of the Sino-American War, the US military's ostensible prohibition on marijuana smoking became a dead letter. Tobacco could no longer satisfy the military's spiritual needs during the protracted battles, so they had no choice but to allow marijuana smoking.

　Of course, this relaxation still has strict quotas. After all, cigarettes will not make you high, and smoking too much will affect battlefield judgment and combat effectiveness, but smoking too much marijuana will have a greater impact on these two aspects.

　As the sun gradually set in the evening, it was time for dinner. Since Texas' independence, the United States' production capacity for heavy army equipment had completely failed to keep up with demand. Yet, as the world's leading agricultural power, the soldiers' meals remained just as good as before the war.

　After receiving his dinner, Walker returned to his post and sat down to eat. He looked up at the gradually darkening sky, then gazed out at the distant view of the deep sea, taking a thoughtful bite of his burrito.

　"Every dinner feels like the last meal before execution... Every day I worry whether the deep sea will launch an attack at night." Walker couldn't help but complain.

　Night is the domain of the deep sea, and the physiological night vision function cannot be countered by a bunch of peripherals. Moreover, no matter how wealthy the US military is, it is impossible to equip every member of the special forces and the line-of-duty division with night vision goggles.

　Humans all have a certain degree of fear of the night or dark places. This is innate, and it can be said that it is engraved in our DNA.

　Aside from the paratrooper attack on the East Coast, Deep Sea had always favored nighttime attacks. Over the past year or so of war, Deep Sea's nighttime battles had inflicted immense suffering on the US military. Word of mouth spread among veterans and newcomers, and this fear inevitably spread.

　Walker glanced down at his watch and breathed a sigh of relief. "My shift change is less than an hour away. Looks like nothing's going to happen today."

　"Hey, bro." Walker called out to the machine gunner next to him softly, "You've been guarding Lao Gan Ma the whole time. Are you tired?"

　"How can I not be tired?" the machine gunner replied.

　"At least it feels safe, right?"

　"Uh..." The Heavy wasn't sure how to respond. While they had impressive damage output on the battlefield, their aggro was also quite limited. Whether or not they felt safe, depending on the specific circumstances, was hard to say.

　After a few awkward chats, Walker planned to fly the drone again in the remaining time to maintain the surrounding environment until it was time to change shifts.

　Walker pulled out a medium-sized drone and a terminal from a box emblazoned with the words "DJI." After confirming the connection, he piloted the drone straight into the night sky, heading toward the deep sea.

　As a result, less than a minute after the drone took off, the screen started to flash with snow.

　Walker was puzzled. "That's not right. Has the enemy's signal shielding increased again? Before, it took three minutes to start showing snowflakes, but now it's happening in less than a minute?"

　He tried to fly a little further, and found that after changing direction for a while, the snowflakes became weaker. However, this direction was not the opposite direction. The drone was still approaching the deep-sea position, but at this distance, it had not yet reached the deep-sea shielding range it was familiar with.

　He was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and felt something was wrong. He suddenly shouted, "Oh no! The deep sea has touched the

　Here it comes! The deep sea is coming up!"

　Chapter 414 Prelude to the Rainstorm

　Walker's shout gave all his comrades nearby a sudden shock.

　Whether they were napping, daydreaming, eating, or chatting, everyone picked up their guns, stood up and got into combat positions.
