It is Kokang and Changchun

　China did not ask Japan for compensation. Besides the fact that the Japanese Communist Party reflected on itself and China had never asked for compensation in history, the more important reason was that if China really wanted to demand compensation, it would not be able to afford the compensation even if it sold the whole of Japan.

　I believe everyone knows what happens in history when a country is asked to pay compensation that it cannot afford to pay for several generations... The same is true between China and Japan. If that happens, it will only backfire.

　At the same time, North Korea also proposed that if the Japanese Communist Party has no money or does not want to pay in cash, it can also use some valuable domestic technologies or help North Korea develop its northern industry and economy as compensation.

　In the end, Ibaraki Hanafushi agreed to compensate North Korea with part of the cash, and give North Korea some valuable technology as the rest, and help North Korea with industrial construction as compensation.

　Chapter 436: Historical Issues in East Asia (2)

　During further detailed discussions between 586 and Hua Shan, considering that the Ryukyu Islands had not yet been liberated and the aviation squadrons still had important uses (serving as amphibious assault ships or dock landing ships), the previously planned item of taking custody of the ship body was cancelled.

　Among them, the aviation corps was relatively honest in its thinking throughout the revolutionary war, which was also the reason why China withdrew its original approach.

　But the withdrawal does not mean that the aircraft carrier ship girl will not be dealt with. After some discussion, China changed the plan to the following:

　[The modernization of aircraft carriers and the carrying of fixed-wing aircraft are prohibited, and Japan is required to regularly report on the ideological dynamics and stationing locations of aircraft carriers. At the same time, China will send relevant personnel to supervise and verify.]

　When the joint statement of the CPC and the JCP, as well as the methods of dealing with some historical issues, appeared in the media of China and the JCP liberated areas, they were broadcast in the form of political news.

　After the news was broadcast, the Japanese public generally expressed broad approval. Compared to the United States, China's handling of the situation was indeed very benevolent. Conversely, the Chinese public had mixed opinions.

　Some of these derogatory views are as follows:

　"Fuck, not even asking for compensation, is this called liquidation? God damn, repaying evil with kindness, the current party and government are really a bunch of compradors!" - Netizen A

　"The Japanese have always been afraid of power but not morality. If you don't give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, they will just think you are an idiot." - Netizen B

　"How foolish! Really foolish! You don't think that just because there's a Communist Party sign hanging across the street, that Japan has truly admitted its mistakes, do you? No way, no way? As our ancestors said, a dog will always eat shit!" - Netizen C

　"What? We suffered over 3000 million casualties for the sake of peace, and we're just going to let it go with this kind of bland treatment? Are we being worthy of our ancestors by not letting the Japanese bankrupt themselves with compensation?!" - Netizen D

　"What do you mean by losing everything? I want to see rivers of blood! Killing someone means paying with one's life, that's only right! Being their neighbor is such bad luck!" - Netizen E

　Some rational netizens couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to discuss with these people: "Not paying compensation is also considering the burden on the Japanese people. If it is really necessary, Japan can't afford it."

　"Is not being able to pay compensation an excuse? If you can't afford it, just pay it in installments! Didn't Germany pay its war reparations only in this century?" Some netizens with extreme ideas were self-righteous.

　A rational netizen once again reminded: "However, the overly cruel Treaty of Versailles became a major external factor in the rise of German revanchist sentiment, which ultimately was detrimental to our demilitarization."

　"Germany and France are of similar size, but China and Japan are different. Modern China has overwhelming strength over Japan. We are not afraid of their revenge. We will have no psychological burden to exterminate the Japanese when the time comes." Netizens with extreme ideas argued.

　"What we want to eliminate is militarism. How is your indiscriminate behavior different from that of the former Japanese invaders?" Rational netizens think that these people really should see a doctor to check their brains.

　"Indiscriminate? Does Japan have any discrimination? Aren't they all black? The Japanese people cheered for the invasion during World War II, and now the Japanese people enjoy the benefits plundered by their ancestors. Is there any need to distinguish between them?" The extreme-minded netizen continued his national narrative logic that had no class analysis method at all.

　"No, buddy, this is a bit too much, isn't it? The Japanese in later generations cannot decide their own origins. It is unreasonable to demand it of them, unless these people have no guilt about their past history." The rational netizen felt that the other party was really speechless.

　"It's none of my business. I'm not Amaterasu, and I don't care about the reincarnation of the Japanese. Modern Japanese were born in injustice and should die in shame. It's considered very restrained that they didn't bomb their entire homeland!" Netizens with extreme ideas still insist on national revenge.

　"It's impossible to talk about this. What the hell is going on? Sigh..." Rational netizens secretly complained in their hearts.

　Fenyang has also seen the comments of these extremists online. In the past, they would have felt confused, but now they just think these people are idiots and roll their eyes and move on.

　This is the confidence that comes from studying Marxism.

　Although Danyang did not have a detailed understanding of Marxism, she learned to look at problems with simple dialectical thinking through continuous education and learning.

　Unlike Fenyang, due to his personality, Danyang couldn't help but curse to himself after seeing these.

　She may curse a few times, but overall, these extreme remarks will no longer have a significant impact on her mood.

　Kanmusu rarely lash out online. As Party members or active military personnel, they're bound by relevant disciplines. If they get angry and start personally attacking someone, even if it's unintentional, it's easy for malicious netizens to take their words out of context and create a public outcry that damages the Kanmusu's image.

　However, sometimes it's necessary to say something, or it might be more appropriate to delegate it to someone else. For example, if Taiyuan wants to publish a highly emotional critique or editorial, it might delegate it to Fushun or Changchun.

　Because if Fushun or Changchun posted it, the personalities of these two people, especially Fushun, seem like people who can say that kind of thing, and it won't feel out of place. If Taiyuan's official account posted it, it would feel too OOC...

　Of course, the fact that a good-tempered and well-behaved girl like Taiyuan could use a highly emotional article to criticize others also shows that the reactionary views criticized by Taiyuan are no longer just ordinary reactionary views, and they must be dealt a heavy blow to set the record straight.

　In any case, after these few days of meetings, the Red Japan of the near future will definitely follow China. Otherwise, if the new Japan does not follow China, who else can it follow?

　It is foreseeable that after the Japanese Communist Party achieves nationwide victory, the number of people traveling between China and Japan for tourism, work, and study will only increase, not decrease. Once the historical grudges between the two countries are resolved, it would be incredible if the number of such people did not increase significantly.

　Qingdao, Shandong, China

　As a proletarian internationalist fighter, Changchun was satisfied with the consensus reached between the CPC and the Japanese Communist Party this time.

　She couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought that the things I said to Comrade Xinlai might not be seen in this century, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

　Just as Changchun was thinking about what she had said to Xiang, she suddenly received a call. When Changchun answered it, she was shocked to find that the caller was Xiang.

　"Comrade Kokang, you should have heard the news about this meeting, right? I think the entire Japanese territory will be liberated before this year. Do you remember what you said at that time?" Xiang said to Changchun excitedly in the communication.

　Changchun said with a smile: "Of course I remember. When I said I wanted to see the red flag raised in Tokyo, you said you would invite me to visit the new Japan. Now the two are almost within reach."

　"Yes, we haven't seen each other for almost 70 years since you went to China in 1955. We will definitely meet in person in the near future. If you ask me, I always have the feeling of handing over the practical results to my supervisor for review." Xiang joked.

　"I originally thought that you would become the top leader of the Japanese Communist Party in the future, but I didn't expect that there is always someone better than you. I didn't expect that there are masters inside the Japanese Communist Party." Changchun always thought that the one who took up the banner of the revolutionary faction within the party would be the one to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, another talent would emerge.

　"Hey, it's normal to have people who are better than you. I'm now in charge of the specific implementation of the army's ideological and political work with Noshiro, and it's not going badly.

　Besides, this is all for the people. There is no hierarchy in the division of responsibilities. If there is a better candidate to be the chairman, I will support him if he trusts me.

　Furthermore, Chairman Ibaraki truly has her own way. While it's clear that her revolutionary thinking was deeply influenced by Comrade Mao Zedong, she also knows how to integrate it with Japan's actual conditions, which is truly commendable. "Higashi had a high opinion of Ibaraki Hanafuji.

　Changchun agreed with Xiang's view, "Yes, the universal truth of Marxism is combined with specific actual conditions. Although this sentence is short, it is very important.

　Many people know this famous conclusion, but many cannot do it, or do it poorly. Only when you actually put it into practice do you realize how difficult it is to truly live up to it.

　"Oh, right." Changchun thought of something and joked, "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, are you going to write 'Itsuki Huashan Thought' into the Party Constitution?"

　"No, no, no, our Chairman has never proposed such a thing. On the contrary, someone in the Politburo wanted to do just that, summarizing Chairman Ibaraki's thoughts and then using 'name + thought' as a proper noun."

　Changchun suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu about Xiang's description, and he casually speculated, "If something like this happened, would Ibaraki Hanasaki say something like, 'You can use my name as a representative of ideology, but you must never forget that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of all the comrades in the Party.'"

　Hibiki thought for a moment and admitted, "This... sounds a lot like what Chairman Ibaraki would say after being praised."

　"It seems that in our internet political circles, calling Ibaraki Hanasu the Mao of the Japanese Communist Party is quite fitting. I just hope that there won't be any 'Japanese Communist Party's Cultural Revolution F4' in the future..." Changchun said these thought-provoking words in a joking tone.

　Chapter 437 Cowboys are busy

　In a camp somewhere behind the United States

　Two beautiful American cowboys were standing face to face about ten meters apart. Their heights were almost the same, but one had a more mature temperament while the other had a more girlish temperament.

　Both of them were staring at each other's every move, and their right hands unconsciously moved closer to the revolvers at their waists.

　At this moment, the wind that was noisy just now suddenly stopped, as if time had stopped, making the hearts of the two opponents tense to the extreme.

　"boom!"

　In the blink of an eye, there was a burst of gunfire, followed by a loud gunshot.

　"You're still a little slow, Bumblebee." Texas straightened his hat which was blown a little askew by the wind.

　This Texas is an employee of Penguin Logistics... Oh, no, it should be Texas, the second New York-class battleship.

　That is the Texas, the ship that fought throughout World War I and World War II, created many firsts in the US Navy, survived the war and was converted into a museum, just completed a major overhaul some time ago, and became a masterpiece two months ago.

　"How is that possible? This time we're competing by switching guns!" Bumblebee looked at the M500 Magnum revolver in his hand, then glanced at the Peacekeeper revolver in Texas' hand, feeling unbelievable.

　Texas twirled the Peacekeeper reel in his hand and said, "I clearly felt that I fired the gun just now, and your bullet hit my chest."

　"Senior Nevada, is that so?" Bumblebee turned to ask Nevada, who was recording the game with a high-speed camera.

　Nevada gave a fair response based on the camera's frame-by-frame playback: "Uh... Texas is right, Bumblebee, you were a bit slow."

　"..." Bumblebee was a little confused. During the first duel, Bumblebee thought it was a problem with the gun, so he proposed to Texas to exchange guns for another match, but was ruthlessly shattered by the reality.

　You should know that the Peacekeeper and the M500 revolvers were produced 130 years apart: the former began production in 1873, while the latter was introduced in 2003. Whether it is rate of fire, ergonomics, or ammunition ballistics, the gap is enormous.

　Despite this, Bumblebee was still defeated. She had thought that after changing the gun, the performance of the gun would completely make up for the slightly slower shooting speed, but unfortunately, it was still a little bit slower.

　This is what happens when a super ace meets an invincible god of war.

　At this time, the strong wind that had just stopped started blowing again, blowing Bumblebee's cowboy hat away from him, which was still in a mess.

　"Really? You want to slander me too?" Bumblebee seemed to be cursing the untimely wind as he hurriedly ran to chase the hat that was blown away by the strong wind.

　Although Bumblebee got her hat back in less than two seconds, she still felt that her behavior today was a bit embarrassing in front of her seniors.

　Even if Nevada was slightly better at shooting than Bumblebee, Bumblebee could still fight him back and forth. And against Texas, even with weapons that were over a century more advanced, it couldn't make up for the victory that gave Bumblebee.

　All I can say is, it's Texas. The people of Texas are tough, and the ships of Texas are no less tough.

　Texas looked at the somewhat embarrassed Bumblebee, trying to soothe him a little. "Actually, your skills are pretty impressive. If you were in the old West, you'd either be a wanted man with a sky-high price tag or an idol for the entire Western police force."

　"Uh..." Bumblebee could tell it was a compliment, but there was always an indescribable strange feeling.

　"I'm just curious, you actually like to use the first generation Peacekeeper's wheel?" Texas looked at the wheel in her hand again, this Bumblebee's Peacekeeper's wheel.

　Bumblebee said, "Senior, you know this is the representative pistol of the Western revolver, the standard issue for cowboys."

　"I thought you younger generations would use more advanced revolvers. Like double-action or automatic revolvers." Texas returned the Peacekeeper revolver to Bumblebee.

　Bumblebee took over the Peacekeeper and returned the M500 Magnum to Texas. "Then I'd like to ask you, as someone of the older generation, how come you use such a modern revolver?"

　"Another game?" Texas did not answer, but chose to continue to challenge the Bumblebee.

　"Let's compete. I don't believe you can always strike first." Bumblebee gladly accepted the challenge. "Besides, failure is the mother of success. How can you improve your gun skills without experience?"

　"It's a good idea of ​​yours. To take care of you, I decided to use the same pistol as you." Texas took out another Peacekeeper.

　Bumblebee's eyes widened in surprise, "You have a Peacekeeper too?"

　"Who says I can only have a revolver? Didn't you just say that this gun is a standard issue for cowboys?" Texas raised his eyebrows at Bumblebee, then began to load bullets into the revolver.

　Orange copper bullets poured out of the magazine and scattered on the table. Bumblebee and Texas grabbed a handful of bullets and began to load them into the magazine one by one.

　It has to be said that the characteristics of shipgirls determine that they dare to use live ammunition for entertainment. Although human culture also has things like "roulette" with live ammunition, it is an extremely dangerous and inhumane behavior.

　For the Kancolles, live-fire roulette became a completely harmless entertainment. It wasn't just the Texas and Hornet that were being played now. Two years ago, when Changchun was supporting the revolution back home, he and his comrades from back home also played this game with live ammunition using the Nagant revolver.

　Throughout the game, except for the bullet head that was crushed into a small copper pancake, every Soviet ship girl present had a lot of fun and had no complaints.

　After a while, Texas and Bumblebee attacked each other fiercely. At the end, the score was 1-3, with Bumblebee in first place and Texas in third place.

　"Isn't that progress? See, you beat me in one round. It's okay, it's okay~" Texas patted Bumblebee's shoulder and comforted her to keep trying.

　So, today in the camp, there was a slightly frustrated blond girl.

　For the first time, she felt what it meant that there are always mountains beyond mountains and there are always higher grounds beyond grounds.

　Cowboy shooting is one of Texas' daily entertainments, but after the fun, she still has to get down to business. But Texas is now undergoing modernization, and her current business is to pay close attention to the war on the front lines from her dormitory and continue to study.

　As for Bumblebee? She was free to come to Texas today because she was almost done with the repairs in the canal. If the American workers had been more efficient, Bumblebee might not have had this opportunity.

　After Texas returned to the dormitory, he sat down at his desk. The joy of his victory quickly faded away, and he was filled with worries and sorrows.

　Now every new American ship girl has to face a very realistic problem. The first is the invasion of powerful enemies from outside, and the second is the dilapidated social situation in the United States.

　When Texas first heard about the independence of the state of the same name, she was just a little surprised, not particularly surprised. But when she heard the reasons for Texas' independence and the supporters of Texas after its independence, the whole ship was stunned.

　She was shocked by the Democrats' use of a variety of illegal immigrants to colonize the votes and their unprecedented purge and final assassination of Trump. She was even more incomprehensible about Texas' independence and its turn to the deep sea.

　Texas believes that it is absolutely unacceptable to drive in the tiger and let the wolf in. Even if the Deep Sea waves the banner of justice, they cannot use force to violently bombard it. Even if the Democratic Party needs to be overthrown by war, that is the Americans' own business and other countries have no right to interfere.

　As previously discussed by the American ship girls, due to the above reasons, plus the act of robbing ship girls in the deep sea, the American ship girls unanimously discussed and passed the resolution to locate the enemy in the deep sea, which Texas also highly agreed with.

　Later, Texas read a lot of books, but none of them could give him a good answer to the question in his mind about why American society had become such a mess.

　In her later life and work, Texas made a "great discovery" and she found that many ship girls were reading Marxism and communism!

　Not only the younger generations, but even some of their peers, or ship girls who are not much younger than themselves, are also actively studying Marxism and communism!

　Generally speaking, rednecks should hate this thing. Perhaps the bad debts of American society have put Texas in a desperate situation. She did not oppose this thing at the first time, but consulted the younger generations with the mentality of getting a brief understanding of it first.

　This mentality is the same as that of the patriotic intellectuals in China who chose Marxism. They turned to Marxism with a try-it mentality only after being slapped in the face by various realities and realizing that bourgeois theories could not be implemented.

　Texas picked up a young man at random and happened to choose Missouri. After she communicated with Missouri about the relevant matters, she found out that Missouri had the same idea as her. Later, Trump's assassination extinguished the last bit of fantasy about the existing system in the United States, and then he converted to communism.

　People always have a herd mentality. Texas also tried to learn about communism and Marxism from the younger generations, and read books on Marxism and communism under relevant guidance.

　Although there were still some questions in his mind, some aspects were like a revelation, and indeed helped Texas dispel some serious misunderstandings about communism.

　Texas was particularly surprised when people like Lexington, a businessman, pointed out the various conflicts and problems in the theory and practice of socialism over the past two hundred years without any hesitation in the spirit of dialectical negation and self-criticism. How could self-criticism go to such an extent?

　This balanced approach, while neither avoiding the relatively positive role of capitalism in history nor glossing over the various errors socialist practice has made to date, is far superior to the US official's blind smear campaign against communist ideology, and it has helped to initially change Texas's view of communist ideology.

　However, a person's ideological transformation doesn't happen overnight. The clash between old and new ideologies has caused Texas to experience a degree of internal turmoil. Republican and Communist ideologies are waging a war within his mind.

　It's likely that Texas will have to go through a similar path to change its thinking as Missouri did, perhaps faster or slower, depending on subjective and objective factors.
