It is Kokang and Changchun

　However… while these girls hold divergent views on domestic politics, they're surprisingly united on certain historical issues within Donghuang, and they seem reluctant to express their opinions. Could it be because their human forms are drawn from the Donghuang game? So they're afraid of saying something that might provoke Donghuang, prompting the Donghuang authorities to take action against them?

　But aren't KanColle supposed to exist independently of the game? Even if the game were compromised, they wouldn't be affected, just like a mother giving birth to a son and then unexpectedly dies, and the son remains unharmed. If tampering with the game truly did affect the KanColle, wouldn't that just be like those nerdy light novels in China?

　Oh, it would be great if our KanColle was one of KanC, then we wouldn’t have to worry so much…

　Just as Suga Yoshihide was daydreaming, the phone on his desk rang.

　Suga Yoshihide picked up the phone and replied: "Moshimoshi, this is the Prime Minister's official residence."

　The person on the phone anxiously shouted, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is the governor of Fukushima Prefecture, Sato Hikoo. Our situation has changed!"

　"Sato, speak slowly, what's the matter? Is it about the demonstrations over there?" Suga Yoshihide said, trying to calm Sato down.

　"That's right!" Sato said anxiously. "The situation has deteriorated significantly. You can't imagine what the mob did. They stormed the police station, the SWAT team, and the city hall. I've now evacuated to the next county. These citizens forcibly reorganized the county and city councils and shut out our Liberal Democratic Party!"

　They also abolished our police force, stole the equipment of the police station and the special police team, and established their own armed forces, which I think is called the [Fukushima Self-Police Force], and the leader is a man named Fujiwara..."

　As he listened to Governor Sato's description, Suga Yoshihide's originally calm face gradually became stiff and froze.

　"Okay, okay... I understand, I will take measures." Suga Yoshihide responded with a slight trembling.

　"Click" the phone receiver returns to its slot and the call is hung up.

　Suga Yoshihide's hand was still holding the microphone which had returned to its place, and he was thinking about something.

　"This isn't a parade, nor a simple demonstration, but a genuine change! It's an uprising!"

　Thinking of this, Suga Yoshihide let out a long breath, grabbed another phone next to him, and called the office of the Minister of Defense of the Ministry of Defense.

　"Moshimoshi, Nobuo Kishi, this is Yoshihide Suga. Please come to the Prime Minister's Office right now, the sooner the better!"

　Chapter 48: The Ominous Incident at Fukushima (7)

　"Hai, I'll be there soon!"

　The call is over, Nobuo Kishi

　After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the office and said to the soldiers stationed outside the door: "Prepare the car and go to the Prime Minister's residence."

　"Yes!"

　After a while, a Mitsubishi Type 73 military jeep stopped in front of the office building. Nobuo Kishi got in the car and ordered the driver to drive to the Prime Minister's residence as fast as possible.

　After arriving at the door of the official residence, Nobuo Kishi almost jogged all the way to the Prime Minister's office.

　When Nobuo Kishi entered the office, he found that in addition to Yoshihide Suga, there were many other people gathered in the office. These people were all members of Prime Minister Suga's cabinet. He probably felt that something big was about to happen.

　"Hello, sir. Do you have any instructions?" Nobuo Kishi saluted Suga Yoshihide and asked.

　Suga returned the greeting, saying, "Not long ago, the governor of Fukushima Prefecture called me to report on the current situation. It seems that we oversimplified the situation."

　"I know something about the unrest in Fukushima. Could it be that the situation has completely gotten out of control?" Nobuo Kishi asked worriedly.

　Suga banged his desk and angrily declared, "This isn't a question of whether things are out of control or not. These protesters are trying to rebel! They've opened a new parliament and excluded all of us from the Liberal Democratic Party. And they're even shouting slogans like 'No LDP Parliament!'"

　"This..." Nobuo Kishi was surprised that the people had gone to this extent.

　Suga Yoshihide continued: "Also, these guys actually designed to defeat the entire Fukushima Prefecture Special Police Team, and it is said that they used heavy weapons..."

　"Heavy weapons?! Where did they get them?" Nobuo Kishi frowned, feeling the seriousness of the matter.

　"It's not clear yet, but in short, these guys stole the police's weapons and established their own armed forces. They are not even afraid of the special police. It is obvious that they are no longer ordinary citizens! We must give them a heavy blow and teach them a lesson!" Suga Yoshihide scolded angrily.

　Facing the Prime Minister's anger, Nobuo Kishi asked, "Do you mean to send out the Self-Defense Forces?"

　"That's right. If the police can't handle it, we have to let the army take action! Apart from the 6th Division, which unit is closest to Fukushima Prefecture?" Suga Yoshihide affirmed.

　Kishi Nobuo answered without hesitation: "The Northeastern Army's Northeastern Mixed Regiment in Sendai City!"

　"Okay, immediately notify the Northeastern Mixed Group to go to Fukushima to suppress the riot!" Suga Yoshihide ordered.

　"Wait a moment, Prime Minister," Nobuo Kishi objected. "The Northeastern Army Mixed Regiment is a garrison unit of the Northeastern Army Headquarters. They can't be easily moved. Besides, suppressing 30 armed rioters with only one regiment is a risky proposition."

　Nobuo Kishi paused for a moment, then added, "Well, can we send a ship girl?"

　"That's unnecessary, it's an overreaction. After the riots are suppressed, we can consider sending them there to act as a deterrent. For now, let's send the 6th Division. After all, Higashine City is relatively close to Fukushima."

　After Suga finished speaking, he looked around at the cabinet members standing there, and most of them also agreed to use violent suppression.

　So, Suga Yoshihide and Kishi Nobuo drove to the Defense Ministry's headquarters together and made emergency deployments for Fukushima and its surrounding areas with officers from the Ground Staff Office (GSSD).

　Nobuo Kishi looked at the map, gestured with his fingers, and said to the officers around him, "Prime Minister, besides Fukushima City, are there any other cities and towns in Fukushima Prefecture that are experiencing riots?"

　"Yes, there were also relatively large-scale riots in coastal cities, such as Soma City, Minamisoma City, and several towns to the south. However, the scale of Fukushima was the largest," Suga replied.

　"That's it," Kishi Nobuo said, picking up a red pencil and circling Fukushima. "To subdue the flock, we must first apprehend the leader. We'll focus on Fukushima. Once we successfully suppress the riots there, the riots in other cities and towns will naturally collapse on their own."

　Kishi Nobuo then drew the attack route with a pencil and said, "The 6th Division will go all the way south along the Yamagata Shinkansen to Fukushima, but we will not take the Shinkansen, but the surrounding expressways (highways)."

　"Wouldn't it be faster to transport troops by Shinkansen? Why do we have to use the expressway?" an officer nearby asked in confusion.

　"Although the Shinkansen is fast, it moves a lot and is easily discovered, and it also takes up trains. Just imagine how conspicuous it would be if more than 7,000 fully armed soldiers were crowded into the station? That's why we take the expressway and depart in the middle of the night. What we want to do is catch those rioters by surprise," Nobuo Kishi replied, then drew a red cross in the Fukushima city area on the map.

　Another officer pointed out, "Hasn't civilian communications in Fukushima been cut off? Why are we still worried about this?"

　Nobuo Kishi said: "Fukushima is now completely under the control of the mob, and it is difficult for us to learn more new information. Who knows if they have reorganized and restored communications. It is better to be safe than sorry."

　"If we want to carry out a quick raid, do we need our 1st Airborne Regiment (1st Airborne Brigade of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force)? This is our strong point." said one of the commanders in charge of the airborne troops.

　Kishi Nobuo shook his head and said, "You are responsible for the defense of Tokyo. You don't need to fight these minions. Ordinary troops are enough. Besides, if the people of Fukushima are not afraid of a 7000-man division, do you think they will be afraid of an airborne brigade of just over 1000 people?"

　At 11:45 that evening, the 6th Division headquarters in Donggen City

　"Beep-beep-beep! Hurry up! Hurry up! Everyone, get ready to go!"

　With the whistle of assembly, the self-defense

　The soldiers were fully armed and ready to go.

　At 12 o'clock sharp, a long convoy of Isuzu SKW477 military trucks, led by Type 74 main battle tanks and under the cover of night, drove out of the gate of the base one after another, headed for the highway, and headed towards Fukushima.

　In addition to the military trucks, there are more than ten Type 8.9 infantry fighting vehicles and Type 73 armored personnel carriers in the convoy.

　————————————————————

　At night, Wenwen and Ji Haitang Yuli came to the wilderness west of Fukushima City. Looking at the clear night sky and the stars, the two talked about the past many years.

　Ji Haitang Yu Li lay on the lawn, gazing up at the sky, and sighed, "Such a brilliant starry sky has become rare in the urban sky since the development of modern industrial civilization after the Meiji Restoration. The development of science and technology has promoted many changes, but it has also brought a lot of trouble..."

　"Isn't that right? Before the 20th century, the sky belonged exclusively to us Crow Tengu. We could fly freely with our eyes closed, okay? Ever since airplanes became more and more widely used, we have to be really careful when going to the sky. A few years ago, when I was taking pictures of the night view of Osaka, I almost hit a Japan Airlines Boeing 737 without paying attention..." Wenwen curled her lips, used the round fan in her hand to cool herself down, and complained.

　"By the way, Reimu Marufumi." Ji Haitang Yuli suddenly became serious and addressed her old acquaintance by name. "Tell me the truth, Reimu Marufumi, have you really sworn to quit making fake news and distorting the facts?"

　Yumimimaru was at a loss for words and said, "No, Guoguo, why are you so serious all of a sudden? Didn't I tell you that even if I do this, I only target celebrities. I would never do this to ordinary people!"

　"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Do you dare to open the photo album in your camera and show it to me?" Ji Haitang Yu Li pointed at the camera hanging on Reimu Maru's chest.

　"No...absolutely not!" Reimu Marufumi shook his head frantically in refusal.

　"Tsk tsk tsk... As expected, it's easy to change the country, but hard to change one's nature."

　As he spoke, Ji Haitang Yuli pulled out a memory card from his pocket and continued to talk to Wenwen with a sinister smile, "Did you secretly take pictures of me showering at the hotel the day before yesterday? I replaced the memory card in your camera while you were sleeping, and this is your memory card in my hand now. I've read the contents of the card. If it weren't for those shower photos, I might still believe what you said."

　"How dare you say that! You were living a life as clean as moss in college, never leaving the house! It's because of people like you who don't want to go out and collect news materials that we have to do your job. I really hope you'll be grateful to us! So, what's wrong with me taking a few photos of you taking a shower for your enjoyment?"

　After saying that, Reimu Marufumi was about to snatch the memory card from Hime Haitang Yuli's hand.

　Ji Haitang Yuli leaped back, his black wings spread out behind him, and hovered in the air. He said, "If you were really that lazy and didn't go out to collect materials, how do you think I survived the layoff crisis? If you, Wenwen, are willing to kneel down and apologize to me, saying something like, 'Master Ji Haitang Yuli, I am guilty and deserve death,' then I can consider believing that you have truly changed for the better."

　"Dogeza? You're dreaming! Do you think you are Lord Iizunamaru Ryu? Return the memory card, baka!" Reimu Marufumi ignored Hime Haitangguo's request and jumped into the sky to chase Hime Haitangguo.

　When Wenwen was about to catch up with Ji Haitang Yuli, she suddenly noticed something unusual and stopped.

　Ji Haitang Yuli noticed that Wenwen seemed to have given up chasing him and said, "What's wrong? Are you giving up already?"

　"Guoguo, let's call a truce for now. I've discovered something new here. Do you see the convoy on this expressway?" Reimu Maru Bun pointed to a string of car lights in the darkness far below and called out to Ji Haitang Yu Li.

　Yumeimaru continued to ponder, then fluently expressed her thoughts: "This expressway is the main lane leading to Fukushima, and the convoy is unusually long. It's already past two in the morning, and coupled with the recent events in Fukushima, what do you think this convoy is about, Guoguo?"

　"The army coming to suppress the citizens of Fukushima?" Ji Haitang Yu Li said directly.

　Wenwen nodded and said, "That's right."

　Ji Haitang Yu Li asked: "What should we do next?"

　Reimu Marufumi raised his camera, took pictures of the convoy, and said to Kihachi Yuri, "Take pictures, the more the better. Then, quickly fly back to Fukushima and tell the people, no matter what method you use, whether they believe it or not..."

　Chapter 49: The Ominous Incident at Fukushima (8)

　"So, Ms. Reporter, do you dare to guarantee that these photos are real?" Fujiwara Hiroshi asked the girl who looked like a reporter in front of him.

　Fujiwara Hiroshi is the commander-in-chief of the Fukushima Self-Defense Force, the militia formed by the Fukushima residents to maintain order. Yesterday, he had just fallen asleep, busy with the force's internal affairs, when he was awakened by a sentry who announced that a young woman claiming to be a reporter was outside and had important intelligence to report.

　So now Fujiwara Hiroshi is standing here talking to the reporter girl who has important information to report.

　Reimu Marufumi said impatiently, "Hey... I've already told you, there's absolutely no trace of photoshop! If you don't believe me, I'll send you a copy of the photo and you can find a professional to take a look at it yourself! Of course, don't blame us if you're delayed..."

　Fujiwara Hiro thought for a while and said to the team members around him: "Call a few people,

　Take your walkie-talkie and take a ride to the northwest highway intersection to find a high vantage point. If you see a long convoy, report immediately!

　"Yeah!" A team member next to him nodded and organized people to do it accordingly.

　Then Fujiwara Hiro turned back and said to Reimu Marufumi, "Give us a copy of the photos in your camera so we can verify their authenticity. Also, I'm curious how you managed to capture this aerial perspective."

　"Well... I'm a drone enthusiast, and I took this photo accidentally when I was flying a drone." Reimu Marufumi made up an excuse to try to get away with it.

　"Flying a drone in the wild in the middle of the night?" Fujiwara Hiroshi questioned this explanation.

　"No, no, no, I was in the suburbs, not in the wilderness. I was just testing how far my drone could fly. When I was almost at the maximum distance, I accidentally discovered a convoy that looked like a military convoy." Reimu Marufumi quickly added.

　Fujiwara Hiroshi wanted to point out some loopholes in Reimu Maru's words, but then gave up.

　"She sent us the photos anyway, so it's not too late to expose them even if the verification turns out to be fake. If the photos are real, who cares how she took them?"

　Fujiwara Hiroshi thought so, and then said to Reimu Marufumi, "Okay, Ms. Reporter. Please wait here for a while. Once our staff verifies the authenticity of the information you provided, you can leave. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

　Reimu Maru nodded and grumbled in a voice that only he could hear: "Tsk... Humans are such a hassle."

　Nearly half an hour later, the reconnaissance team heading to the highway intersection northwest of Fukushima discovered something unusual.

　The team's observer saw through the telescope that rows of car lights in the distance on the highway were becoming clearer and clearer.

　He immediately reported to the captain of the reconnaissance team: "Report, there is a situation!"

　"Did you find the target?"

　"Yes!"

　"Let me see." The leader of the reconnaissance team reached out to the observer and asked for the telescope.

　The observer handed the telescope to the team leader, who picked up the telescope and looked in the direction the observer pointed.

　After the squad leader found the target pointed by the observer, he immediately took out the walkie-talkie at his waist and called the Self-Defense Force headquarters:

　"Calling JSDF Headquarters, calling JSDF Headquarters. This is the reconnaissance team. We've spotted a long line of headlights on the expressway in the distance heading towards Fukushima. It's very likely a military convoy."

　After receiving the message, the communicator from the police headquarters reported it to Captain Fujiwara Hiroshi as quickly as possible.

　After listening to the report, Fujiwara Hiro looked at Reimu Maru with a hint of surprise and said, "Ms. Reporter, it seems you are telling the truth. Thank you very much for the information you provided. You may leave now."

　After watching Reimu Maru leave, Fujiwara Hiroshi asked the reconnaissance team, "How far are they from us now?"

　Reconnaissance Team: "Not far away, we'll probably get off the highway in about ten minutes."

　"Kuso!" Fujiwara Hiro cursed. "Looks like it's too late to block the expressway entrance. Now we have to mobilize everyone to block the main road leading into the city."

　So, Fujiwara Hiroshi woke up all the Self-Defense Force members and asked them to do everything they could to block all the main traffic arteries and not give the Self-Defense Force vehicles any chance to enter the city.

　Obstacles include but are not limited to cars, buses, large and medium-sized trucks, container trailers, road rollers, cranes, stones, sandbags, etc.

　Simple barricades were built on major traffic routes, and police teams took turns guarding them.

　After the 6th Division left the highway, it did not march straight into the city from one place. Instead, it quietly surrounded the entire Fukushima City along the outer main roads. This inadvertently gave the Fukushima residents a lot of time to react.

　The 6th Division commander was very satisfied after seeing that all the troops had been deployed. He said, "Excellent! For now, we will continue to close the encirclement little by little. If we encounter any armed civilians, we will kill them immediately..."

　Just as the commander of the 6th Division and other senior officers were speaking to their staff, a report from an officer with the rank of major suddenly interrupted their speech.

　"Report! We've discovered that all the main roads are blocked by obstacles, and vehicles cannot pass through!"
