It is Kokang and Changchun

　Chapter 465: New Aircraft (Questionable)

　Northern Command responded to the Duval County Forward Command that the Midway (Kanmusu) was indeed being tested, but they did not disclose the full facts. One of the reasons why Midway would take some time to deploy was due to the wrangling between the military services.

　In the joint meeting, the Navy and the Army have been arguing about Midway Island, arguing whether this big lady should be used to fight a naval battle first or a land battle first.

　This debate has not been the first or second time. Ever since the deep-sea invasion of the United States, the Army has tasted the sweetness of being supported and spearheaded by shipgirls and has been constantly looking for the Navy to "borrow ships". As the deep-sea land front advances, this situation has become more and more frequent.

　You know, if they were to fight against a human army, it would be like "the (main) ship girl gets angry and blood flows on the oars." Even against a deep-sea army, the main ship ship girl still has considerable deterrent power, so how could the army not be tempted?

　[US Army: I am 249 years old this year, and I have experienced countless heavy firepower units from different eras. Now that the deep sea is pressing in, the realm must have a ship girl... (Elder Jinchi: 6)]

　The Navy certainly can't stand the Army's obsession with "getting more and more". The deep sea has rushed to build a ship girl, and the Army at home is also flirting with his daughter. Who can tolerate this?

　The Navy naturally responded to the Army's "excessive demands" without any hesitation; however, the Navy could still compete before, but recently it has become increasingly unable to do so.

　If you want to know why, just look at the current US front line. The thirteen states of the founding of the Republic are almost all occupied by the deep sea. The fact that the deep sea dares to land in Florida means that the United States is already at a disadvantage in sea control on the East Coast.

　When the enemy has occupied so much territory, the army will definitely take priority over the navy in getting any good things. Therefore, the navy seems powerless to resist the army's "freeloading" behavior.

　But no matter what, a ship is a ship, and a ship belongs to the navy. Even if the army has a say, it only has the right to use it. Otherwise, who will repair and supply the ship? Can the army do that?

　Enterprise and Midway also mentioned the current conflict between the US Navy and the US Navy, and Midway couldn't help but sigh, "So this conflict is all because we can sail on dry land?"

　"No, that's not the case." Enterprise replied: "Which country has more disputes on land and sea?"

　There are some, but it’s essentially a question of uneven distribution of resources.”

　Midway rubbed his shoulders and said, "Ah, it's good to be able to completely simulate human senses. But when it's fully simulated, my shoulders often get sore..."

　Enterprise laughed and said, "With your level, it would be strange if your shoulders didn't feel sore. Oh, and if you ever run into that playful old friend, don't say anything like that, or she'll get mad."

　"Funny old fellow? Saratoga?"

　"correct."

　"I see... She's obviously a senior, but she's like a destroyer in every sense." Midway Island has learned what kind of personalities most destroyer girls are through Enterprise's descriptions, photos, and video records over the past few days.

　"He only has a childlike figure and personality, but in other aspects he is an adult," said the company.

　"In fact, it's not just her. Some shipgirls, although their figures and personalities resemble those of middle school or elementary school students, are really like adults in some aspects. We can't treat them as children."

　This sparked Midway's interest, "Oh? If his personality is like that of an elementary or middle school student, how can he be treated as an adult?"

　"I can't explain it to you directly, so let me give you an example." Enterprise began to illustrate his point: "Take Laffey (DD-724) for example. Before the war, I went shopping with a few ship girls, and Laffey (DD-724) was one of them.

　We were at a playground, and Rafi (DD-724) was playing with the kids so well. As time went on, she became the leader of the group, a perfect example of her leadership.

　"When many children play together, a leader will naturally emerge after a long time. I think your argument is not strong enough..." Midway Island felt that the example given by Enterprise was not good.

　Enterprise waved his hand and said, "I'm not finished yet. For most children, it's hard to have common topics with the elderly, right?"

　"Yes, even if children can sit down and chat with the elderly, the best they can do is listen attentively. As for empathizing with the elderly and having common topics with them, that is simply impossible," Midway admitted.

　Enterprise continued, "Well, after we had fun at the amusement park, we went to the mall to eat. While we were eating, Lafite (DD-724) started chatting with an elderly man sitting next to him, and they talked for almost an hour.

　I've observed the old man's language and expression. It's definitely not the look an old man would have when chatting with an ordinary child, but the look he has when chatting with someone his own age. Do you understand what I mean?"

　Midway Island immediately understood. "So that's what you mean. Don't mention Laffey (DD-724), they're all the same."

　"Yeah, they're all pretty much the same, especially old ships like ours that have survived the war and are still around today. They've actually been around for more than half a century, so it's not surprising to be able to talk to the old guys." Enterprise closed his eyes, feeling nostalgic about his life on board.

　Midway asked Enterprise a question: "Enterprise senior...you have lived for more than half a century?"

　"Yeah, CV-6, CVN-65, CVN-80, how come their combined history is less than half a century?" Enterprise counted on his fingers with Midway.

　"Wait a minute, Senior..." Midway thought for a moment, then asked, "So, the three generations of Enterprise are actually the same person, the same soul, rather than the CVN-80 having the memories of the first two generations?"

　"Yeah, you haven't been thinking that way these past few days, have you?" Enterprise was at a loss for words. "Well, maybe I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning, and there was some ambiguity that led to your misunderstanding."

　Midway was even more puzzled now. "If that's the case, then why are the Benson-class Laffey and the Sumner-class Laffey, the Lexington-class Lexington and the Essex-class Lexington two different people?"

　Enterprise shook his head innocently. "It's just like one of the world's unsolved mysteries. Who knows what's going on... Oh? Any news?"

　The two were chatting enthusiastically when a call suddenly came in from Enterprise, who answered the call immediately. In less than ten seconds, Enterprise said "yes" several times and then hung up.

　Enterprise turned to Midway and said, "Hey, sister, the first batch of planes the Navy assigned to you has arrived. Let's go to the airport and take a look."

　"Ah! That's great! I really want to see what kind of carrier-based aircraft will be used more than 30 years from now!" Midway was so excited that she couldn't help but run to the airport to see the planes.

　Enterprise wanted to say something, but she kept quiet. She thought it would be best not to dampen Midway Island's hopes. Reality is always the best medicine to change one's mind.

　When Midway pulled Enterprise to the designated location at the airport, the ground officer pointed to a still-heated aircraft that had just landed and said, "Miss Midway, these F/A-18Fs are yours. The rest will arrive in batches and will be delivered within 24 hours at the latest."

　Midway was stunned. Pointing at the F/A-18, he asked in confusion, "It's been over 30 years, and you're still using the Hornet? But why does this Hornet feel bigger than I remembered?"

　"This is the Super Hornet, which is much better than the Hornet you had before retirement. Not only is it larger, but its range, electronics, payload, and maneuverability have all been greatly improved, and it even has a certain stealth capability." Enterprise explained, asking Midway to stay calm.

　Midway still feels a little unsatisfactory, "but this is still based on the Bumblebee, so you

　Haven't we had any new designs for carrier-based aircraft fuselages in the past 30 years?"

　"Yes, the F-35 series," Enterprise replied immediately. "This is a fourth-generation carrier-based aircraft."

　"Fourth-generation aircraft? Before I retired, I heard my superiors chatting that Lockheed was developing a groundbreaking stealth fighter. Could it be the F-35 you are talking about?" Midway asked.

　The company explained: "The one you are talking about is the F-22, a heavy fighter. The F-35 is a separate project, a light fighter. The F-22 does not have a carrier-based model, only the F-35 does."

　"I see. Then why don't you give me the F-35?" Midway seemed determined to use the cutting-edge fighter jet.

　It was now the ground crew officer's turn to speak: "Ms. Midway, you have no experience flying the F-35. These aircraft are for your combat use. Only by using the weapons you are most familiar with can you quickly establish combat effectiveness."

　Enterprise added to Midway's internal voice chat: "This gentleman must not have finished speaking. The headquarters must have wanted you to perform front-line ground support missions, so they didn't assign you an F-35.

　After all, using fourth-generation aircraft to provide ground support on the front lines is still too extravagant. These tasks can be fully handled by third-generation aircraft, and fourth-generation aircraft should have a better place to use them.

　"Tsk... I told you, our shipgirls are quick to learn new planes. That excuse is really far-fetched." Midway tutted, paying attention to his expression so as not to reveal anything.

　Midway pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I see. You have good intentions... Then can I test drive this fighter?"

　"No problem, I'll have..." Out of professional habit, the officer instinctively ordered the ground crew to prepare a set of anti-gravity suits. He reacted quickly and stopped talking.

　The officer couldn't help but secretly glance at the huge soft jade of Midway Island, and complained in his heart: "Even if you don't consider that you are not human and don't have to worry about overload, there is no suitable anti-gravity suit for you with such big breasts..."

　Midway circled the planes, inspected them, and asked, "Can this batch of planes be stuffed directly into my hangar and onto my deck? I'd like to receive them and have one left at the airport for me to test fly."

　"Of course, Miss Midway. These planes are all new batches and have never flown except for flying here." said the ground crew officer.

　After receiving a positive answer, Midway walked under the plane and used the shipgirl skills that Enterprise taught her, placing her hands on the fuselage, causing the plane to flash into the hangar or deck of the main body.

　With a thought from Midway, the plane was quickly enveloped in a layer of blue light and instantly disappeared. At the same time, an identical plane appeared above the deck of Midway.

　After repeating this operation, when he arrived at the foot of the last plane, Midway took his flight helmet and jumped into the cabin in one step, carefully observing the differences between the Super Hornet's avionics equipment and the old Hornet he was familiar with.

　"It's worthy of being a Super Hornet! It's really different." Midway carefully stroked the control panel, from the screen to the buttons, feeling the texture.

　"Okay, let me test the performance of this plane today! Sir, please tell the control tower, I need to prepare for takeoff."

　"Okay! Please wait a moment, Miss Midway!"

　Chapter 466: The Right Wing is Under Dictatorship

　Tokyo, Japan

　In a convenience store, two young men walked out of the store, talking and laughing, carrying large and small bags filled with agricultural and sideline products.

　"Mr. Yuzhi, the price drop of agricultural products is like a dream!" One of the young men said happily, "We would have been thankful if the increase was lower in the past, but it can actually be reduced, and the price drop is -20%!

　Especially this whole watermelon. Have you ever seen a normal-sized watermelon in Tokyo for just over 2000 yen? In the past, a normal-sized watermelon in Tokyo would have cost at least 4000 yen. Anyway, I finally got to experience the feeling of a Chinese person devouring a watermelon with such a big mouthful!

　Hiroyuki's full name is Tanaka Hiroyuki (real person). He is a smart guy. He said to his friends proudly: "See, this is the benefit of overthrowing the agricultural cooperatives and getting close to China. There are all kinds of cheap fruits and vegetables, in large quantities and you can eat as much as you want.

　Recently, we have signed so many cooperation agreements with China and the Soviet Union that we are almost done with. Not only can we eat cheap fruits and vegetables, but we can also eat high-quality and low-priced meat in a while!

　Logistics in Russia are slower than in China. The price of meat hasn't changed significantly right now, probably because the meat from Russia hasn't arrived yet. When it does arrive soon, you'll be in for a treat, Fukagawa-kun.

　Fukagawa lamented, "It seems the LDP's previous reluctance to engage in extensive cooperation with China was purely for political reasons. If the LDP truly cared about the people, it wouldn't have been so persistent in its anti-China stance."

　"Bah!" Tanaka Hiroyuki cursed. "The LDP's concern for the people is a huge joke. When the Japanese Communist Party revolted, Australia provided some food aid, but the LDP actually exported a large portion of the food in order to maintain prices and earn military funds to fight the Japanese Communist Party.

　Japan, a country with a food self-sufficiency rate far below the red line, actually exports food! They're willing to go to great lengths to maintain high food prices. China, with its high food self-sufficiency rate, doesn't even dare to export, prioritizing domestic food security. The comparison is stark.

　Chugoku

　The agricultural product market in China is taking a mass-market approach, while Japan is taking a high-end approach. This is why Japanese agricultural products are so expensive. They claim to be focusing on food quality, but in reality, they are just trying to make more money.

　Fukagawa thinks this makes sense: "As long as the quality of agricultural products is worthy of consumers, there's no need to be picky. Raising people's living costs just to create a sense of luxury is really excessive."

　High-quality agricultural products are fine, but you can't use them to replace the general mass market. Even if it's for the sake of the quality of people's food, they have to be able to afford it, right? After all, the middle and high-income groups will always be a minority. High-endizing the mass agricultural market doesn't reflect the interests of the people at all.

　Tanaka further criticized, "Exactly. Take Japan's Engel coefficient, for example. The reason Japan's Engel coefficient is so low is that its per capita food consumption is significantly lower. If per capita food consumption were similar to that of China, then Japan's Engel coefficient would definitely be much higher than China's."

　Even if we ignore per capita food consumption, the Engel coefficient between China and Japan is actually not much different, less than 3 percentage points.

　What's the saying? Eat enough to eat well. You can't go hungry just to eat well. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Ultimately, it's all about making money. That's the nature of capitalism."

　As the two were chatting, they passed by the gate of the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party (the old headquarters) and found a group of people holding banners and flags, protesting something.

　Tanaka Hiroyuki took a closer look and his eyes suddenly turned red. The flag held by this small group of people was the Rising Sun Flag! The Rising Sun Flag with red stripes.

　"Damn it! They're a bunch of right-wing idiots!" Tanaka Hiroyuki gritted his teeth. As a scholar with a correct view of history, he certainly could not tolerate such a scene.

　When I got closer and listened, I found that these people were protesting against the Japanese Communist Party's cessation of the Liberal Democratic Party's activities, the forced dissolution of the Liberal Democratic Party, and the deprivation of the political rights of a large number of right-wing people under the pretext of maintaining democratic rules.

　In addition, they also said some anti-party and anti-socialist words, and distorted history and the policies of the Japanese Communist Party.

　"You red devils! You only know how to lick China's boots and eat the food given out of pity! We, the great Japan, are losing face. Japan is the leader of East Asia!" - a far-right person in the crowd barked.

　The police stationed in front of the Japanese Communist Party headquarters building seemed a little outnumbered, but they were still trying their best to stop these right-wing elements.

　These right-wing elements were very rampant. Not only did they engage in physical conflicts with the police, some even threw debris into the Communist Party headquarters building.

　"These right-wing rioters are too arrogant. Are there only so few police guarding the Japanese Communist Party headquarters?" Just as Tanaka Hiroyuki was wondering, several police cars suddenly drove out from the intersection.

　It wasn't a typical patrol car, but a black van-shaped special police vehicle. After the vehicle quickly came to a complete stop, a large number of fully armed riot police officers emerged from the vehicle.

　As soon as the riot police got off the car, they shouted "Stop" and rushed towards the group of right-wing elements with batons in one hand and riot shields in the other.

　"All of you guys, stop it!" The first policeman who rushed over hit the leader of the demonstration on the waist and hips with a stick. The right-wing element was so painful that he had to bend down.

　"Take down that bastard who's leading the protest!" The police took the opportunity to take him down. At the same time, other riot police also took down some of the right-wing elements.

　When the remaining right-wing elements saw the special police coming, they felt something was wrong and abandoned their "comrades" and ran away. In a few seconds, the only things left on the ground were the banners and flags that the group of right-wing elements had discarded in order to facilitate their escape.

　Fukagawa laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Hahahaha! You right-wing idiots, you've finally gotten what you deserve! Mobile Police is finally using violence where it's due."

　Tanaka Hiroyuki also clapped his hands and said, "Isn't that right? Things will always change. What the right-wing minions did to the left back then will be repaid to the right double from now on."

　"But... I remember seeing police officers pinning down centrists two years ago, but now they're pinning down the right wing. The contrast is so huge, won't the police feel uncomfortable?" Fukagawa had a question.

　"Don't worry, the Japanese Communist Party has basically purged the Metropolitan Police Department, or the entire police system in the liberated areas. They have dismissed more than 40% of the police officers.

　After that, they directly transferred personnel from the Revolutionary Army to fill the vacancies in the police force through transfers. I think the police who suppressed these right-wingers were probably transferred from the Revolutionary Army. After all, this is the headquarters of the Japanese Communist Party, and the police who come here to deal with problems must be reliable.

　----------------

　At the new headquarters of the Japanese Communist Party, which is the former Prime Minister's official residence, Ibaraki Hanaogi received news that right-wing elements were causing trouble at the old headquarters.

　(PS: Here is a brief introduction to the current division of labor between the old and new headquarters of the Japanese Communist Party. The new headquarters is now the workplace of the Chairman of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party, and the General Office of the Central People's Government. The old headquarters serves as the workplace for other departments of the Central Committee of the Japanese Communist Party.)

　When Ibaraki Hanasu received the news, he was eating lunch and had not yet swallowed the meat bun in his mouth.

　She didn't have time to chew slowly. The safety of her comrades was much more important than this: "Is anyone injured at the old headquarters? Not only

　It’s the party and government officials, and the police comrades who are responsible for resisting the extreme right-wing elements.”

　"No, Comrade Chairman. The police did report some injuries, but they're not serious. Legally, they're only minor injuries. They've already been treated at the infirmary at the old headquarters."

　"Some of the more aggressive extreme right-wing elements have been arrested and are currently being taken to the nearest police station for questioning," said Nakano Hiroharu.

　"That's good..." Ibaraki Hanafu breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed the fully chewed bun, and immediately said, "The remaining extreme right-wing elements must also be arrested and brought to justice. This is not a public security issue, but a major political principle issue.

　The newly born People's Republic of China must not tolerate these scum who deny their sinful history! Most of them have masters behind them.

　I've said before that class struggle doesn't cool down much after the proletariat seizes power. On the contrary, unwilling counter-revolutionary forces will attempt a counterattack, either overtly or covertly. This intense struggle will persist until socialist transformation is fully completed.

　Today, the extreme right-wing minions are carrying out such activities against our Party's old headquarters, which is a clear provocation to the Party and the people, and to justice and righteousness. I have only one attitude towards them - what to do? Only kill! This is the dictatorship of the proletariat!

　To prevent misunderstanding, Ibaraki Huashan also added: "Of course, the killing I'm talking about doesn't mean physical destruction based on impulsiveness, but rather strict and severe punishment according to the law."

　"Yes! I will ask the Ministry of Intelligence to get to the bottom of these people!" Nakano Hiroharu responded firmly.

　Ibaraki Hanafugi picked up another bun and ate it, then said, "By the way, Nakano-kun, go tell the comrades at the Ministry of Culture and Education, and I'll contact the comrades at the Central Propaganda Department. We'll have the two departments meet together tomorrow to discuss how to clean up the cultural poison of the old government.

　This cultural poison refers not only to social history but also to ideology. Exposing Japan's bloody colonial aggression is not difficult; the challenge lies in how we can better educate the public about communism and Marxism.

　Japan is not China. China has been practicing socialism for so many years that left-wing ideas, especially Marxism and communism, have a natural appeal to them. As a capitalist country for so long, Japan's promotion of Marxism is likely to be even more difficult than in China.
