It is Kokang and Changchun

　What the United States lacks now is a third way. Other countries have several political parties to choose from, so why does the United States only have the Democratic Party and the Republican Party?

　I'm not completely negative about the American system, but the current system must be profoundly reformed. Otherwise, if it continues to languish, only revolution awaits us."

　"You..." William was speechless because of his son's point of view. It was not so much because of anger, but because he was at a loss for words.

　After saying this, Robbie was about to open the door. When his hand was about to touch the door handle, the door was opened from the outside first.

　What caught Robbie's eyes was his second sister Doliz, who was wearing the Marine Corps' MC camouflage and carrying a tactical backpack on her back.

　"Hey, Robbie, the army gave me a few days off recently, so I took this opportunity to come back and see you. How are you? How is Dad?" Dolly was the first to greet him.

　Robbie glanced back at his father and said calmly, "Everything is fine. Besides, I got some extra money back for my eldest sister."

　After saying that, Robbie walked out without looking back.

　Seeing that Robbie seemed to be in a bad mood, Doliz went into the house and exchanged a few words with her parents, then began to ask about her brother's condition.

　William snorted and said, "If you think about it, you can probably guess. It's nothing more than a political disagreement. They insist on saying there's no third option in America. The American Dream is empty talk, and they're even raising it to an institutional issue."

　"Tsk...what's going on? He was never to this extent before." Doliz was very surprised by the changes in his brother's thoughts and psychology.

　"What else can we do? Encountering bad things is one thing; on the other hand, I seriously suspect that he may have been influenced by some messed-up people or organizations in society. I think it's most likely those left-wingers or even Communists." William said unhappily.

　Then, William handed his second sister an envelope and said, "By the way, this is the pension that Robbie just brought back. After deducting Robbie's disability allowance, there is less than $6 in it."

　"What?! Less than $6?!" Doliz was shocked.

　"There's nothing we can do. The Democrats are in power, and there are just too many termites!" William hated the Democrats with gnashing teeth.

　Doliz was in a good mood just now, but suddenly became annoyed. He had been fighting on the front line, and this was how the rear treated the families of soldiers. How could he not complain?

　"I kind of understand why Texas rebelled," Doliz said, holding his forehead. "Luckily, we're a farming family. If it were a working-class family without other laborers, it's hard to say how much money you could save to get by for the rest of your life..."

　Doliz remembered that her elder sister knew a naval officer. "By the way, does she have a good friend named Crownpeace? I remember she's the captain of the CVN-80 Enterprise. Can she use her connections to help us?"

　"Robbie has tried, but Enterprise and her captain are military personnel. They can only help us get as much compensation as possible from the military. As for the US government, they can't do that.

　"And now it's the US government that owes us the most. Thanks to the efforts of Piss and Miss Enterprise, the military is only $1000 short of us, while the US government is owed over $6! And even with insurance, the insurance company is only giving us a fraction of the money!"

　Doliz fell silent upon hearing this, because she knew that this was indeed a difficult matter. If she really asked Piss and the companies to speak for them in the government, they might be accused of "military involvement in politics."

　The living room suddenly fell silent.

　About half a minute later, William broke the silence: "Doliz, go check on your brother. I'm worried about him going out alone. Also, pay attention to who he comes into contact with. Don't let him go astray."

　"Okay, Father."

　Chapter 483 Dawn Goddess and Dawn Goddess

　Qingdao, Shandong, China

　A Type 20380 frigate slowly docked at Qingdao Guzhenkou Naval Port. The warship came for a friendly visit to the Chinese Navy.

　However, besides the Red Navy sailors, there was also a heavyweight on this frigate. When she disembarked, she attracted the attention of others.

　"Comrade Aurora, how come you are here? As far as I know, you have retired from the navy, right?" Chongqing, who came to greet her, was surprised.

　Aurora smiled and said, "Yes, I withdrew, but I was just taking a shortcut. I had originally planned to travel to China in December, but my departure time coincided with the Red Navy's friendly visit to China, so it was as you can see."

　Chongqing nodded in understanding, then extended her hand for a handshake. "Comrade Aurora, welcome back to China."

　"Thank you, Comrade Chongqing. I'm here purely for tourism. You don't have to do much for me." Aurora took the handshake and nodded in return.

　Then Aurora jokingly said, "But... it's still a bit strange to encounter a ship of a different nationality but with the same name as yours for the first time."

　Chongqing laughed and responded, "Ha, as the Chinese say, this is called a meeting brought together by destiny. Before I came to China, although we had the same name as you, we held opposite positions. Now, we are both good students of the Marxist-Leninist mentor, and the purity of our common elements has increased even more."

　“That is natural. Marxism is a blazing fire in human social sciences, and communism is the

　The true dawn of society is also worthy of our name." Aurora is very willing to establish close ties with Chongqing.

　Given Aurora's political status, Chongqing recalled something. "Come to think of it, the word Aurora seems to derive from the goddess of dawn in ancient Greek mythology... And Russia's religious power is relatively strong. Aren't you afraid they'll use your name to make a fuss?"

　"Actually, some people in the Orthodox Church had already started this before. Some said I was the goddess of dawn descending on earth in a ship, and some even wanted to canonize me... Sigh." Aurora sighed and continued:

　"But after the establishment of the Soviet Union, this kind of behavior was explicitly banned. Now that the Orthodox Church has been rectified by Kiev, it is much more honest than before."

　"Have you ever thought about changing your name?" Chongqing asked.

　Aurora answered firmly, "No. Isn't there an old Chinese saying, 'One's name doesn't change, and one's surname doesn't change'? I've lived through four dynasties, from Tsarist Russia to the new Soviet Union, and I've always had this name.

　If ideology were a factor, I would have changed my name long ago during the Soviet era. Besides, as a staunch materialist, changing my name just because of religious gossip would always seem like a coward.

　"Since you have made this choice, it is inevitable that religious people will continue to make such and such associations..." Chongqing affirmed Aurora's determination, but at the same time he was worried about her.

　"Even if I didn't use the name Aurora, they would still give me a religious cloak," Aurora said indifferently. "Look, Comrade Stalin's name has nothing to do with religion, right? But that still couldn't stop the Church from canonizing him."

　Chongqing was also deeply moved by the canonization. Two years ago, I led a group of old guards in my hometown of Ying to canonize the British ship girl for some unknown reason.

　If it weren't for Sister Lin Xian sending her a message about this, Chongqing wouldn't have known about it. That's why Chongqing wrote an article criticizing the canonization overnight, using Lin Xian as his mouth to publish it at the Kanmusu discussion meeting. It's likely that the canonization was finally granted. (See Chapter 184 for details)

　So she understood Aurora's feelings very well, so she asked with concern: "That's true... How do you deal with this embarrassing situation?"

　Aurora explained, "As I said earlier, the first step is to explicitly prohibit it. The second step is to explain it. 'Aurora' is just a name. Gods and humans can use it, too. We need to dissolve the strong connection between them."

　The third step is the socialist transformation of religion. In this regard, comrades in Kyiv are steadily advancing according to the arrangements of the Party Central Committee, continuing to complete the unfinished work of the former Soviet Union.

　Chongqing agrees with Aurora's views, "Indeed, religion generally has a strong influence in European countries. The former Soviet Union maintained this for so long, and even before its disintegration, one-fifth of the population still had religious beliefs.

　In the 30 years since the dissolution of the CCP, the number of religious believers has skyrocketed to over 50%, a virtual return to the pre-liberation era. The road to dispelling the demons is long and arduous, and to rectify the chaos requires tremendous determination and perseverance.

　"Of course," Aurora, true to her name, replied with revolutionary optimism. "If the former Soviet Union could do it, why can't the new Soviet Union? Not only can we do it, we can do it better."

　When talking about politics, we have to mention the Four Heavenly Kings. Aurora was puzzled by the fact that the Four Heavenly Kings were not present at the event. "By the way, Anshan and Changchun are not here?"

　"None of the four little ones are free recently." Chongqing said.

　Aurora thought of another small boat. "S-53... No, isn't Comrade New China No. 12 (the 422 submarine in the game) free too?"

　"Oh, she's training with the Four Heavenly Kings, so she's also busy. As you know, this little comrade was just recently recreated, filling the gap in our fleet of shipgirls, which lacks submarines."

　Chongqing continued, "Plus, since Comrades S-56 and K-21 returned home, we haven't practiced the use and counter-use of submarines for a long time. Therefore, the destroyers and submarines have been doing recovery training during this period."

　Aurora said it didn't matter. "It's okay. Training is more important. Let them get busy. Remember to say hello to them for me."

　"Ok."

　"As for submarine ship girls, we don't have many on hand. Therefore, we don't have much experience in using them to share with you." Aurora expressed regret that she could not help you in this regard.

　"There's nothing we can do. This is our common historical debt, and Germany has the most in this regard. Wolf pack... I really hate and envy them." Chongqing's disgust for the underwater villains comes from personal combat experience.

　At this point, Chongqing wanted to change the subject. "Let's not talk about these Atlantic wolves anymore. It's all just tears. Let's talk about something happy... By the way, Comrade Aurora, where are you planning to travel this time?"

　"This time I came here mainly to visit some red tourist attractions and feel the revolutionary process of the Communist Party of China." Aurora answered frankly.

　Chongqing couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "It is worthy of being the ship that fired the epoch-making cannon, the spiritual flagship of the Soviet Union and the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, and the most beloved spiritual flagship of Soviet shipgirls. Even the tourist attractions are so dazzling."

　"Comrade Chongqing, please don't add those adjectives in front. I would rather others regard me as an ordinary soldier among us, rather than someone who needs to be looked up to." Aurora replied modestly with a little embarrassment.

　So, Chongqing and Aurora chatted as they walked and brought a BYD Qinqian

　This BYD Qin is not a public bus, but a private car from Chongqing. Now Chongqing will use this car to take Aurora to Jiaodong Airport.

　After seeing Chongqing's car, Aurora asked, "Hey, is this Comrade Chongqing's car? Is it a pure electric car or a hybrid?"

　"It's a pure electric car," Chongqing explained. "But this model also has a hybrid."

　Aurora was envious. "The advantage of our country being at a low latitude is that in our area, pure electric cars are barely selling, and the new energy vehicles on the road are mostly hybrids. And among pure electric cars, most of the low-end consumers are concentrated in the south."

　"Batteries are afraid of cold, so just adapt to local conditions. It's a good thing that you focus on developing hybrid vehicles. As long as you follow a new energy development route that suits your national conditions, you will definitely achieve great things." Chongqing comforted.

　Aurora has a longer-term vision: "Hybrid is only a temporary solution. Looking into the future, pure electric or hydrogen energy will be the ultimate choice.

　Didn't gasoline cars from a hundred or eighty years ago often suffer from freezing? Every time the weather got too cold, you had to warm the car's chassis with a fire to start it. But for gasoline cars today, this is no problem at all in the same temperature.

　So we need to take a long-term view. I believe the Soviet Union will catch up in the field of new energy vehicles. In the automotive industry, we have always lagged behind the West, and this situation should change."

　Chongqing thought about what Aurora had just said as he drove out of the port area. As he left the port gate, Chongqing asked, "Comrade Aurora, are you a farsighted person?"

　"Long-term vision?" Aurora nodded, then shook her head. "I'm indeed interested in the long-term development of science and technology, but I wouldn't concentrate all our national resources on research. Ultimately, development should be pragmatic, balanced, and sustainable."

　Chongqing admired Aurora's visionary yet practical approach and continued to find interesting topics to discuss with her, trying to get to know her better.

　"By the way, there's a new game in China that just started its first closed beta test - 'Cedar'. It's Soviet-style. Has anyone heard of it?"

　Chapter 484: The Last French Cuirassiers

　Aurora first learned about "Cedar" from Changchun, and she would occasionally check on the news of "Cedar" in her free time.

　"I've heard of it. I have to say that what has always been most attractive to China is the red culture." Aurora knew that there were many elites in China.

　Chongqing mentioned a phenomenon in China: "Chinese people don't know much about Russian culture, but the Soviet Union is very popular among young people on the internet."

　"This is actually quite good," Aurora said with emotion, "The true soul of the Soviet spirit is its core of communism and internationalism.

　This is precisely the highest level of external propaganda in a socialist country. If a socialist country's external propaganda only allows others to understand the nation's excellent traditional culture, then such external propaganda is not completely successful.

　Generally speaking, it is impossible to completely get rid of the national narrative perspective in external propaganda to the general public at the current stage; but through progressive national narrative propaganda, we can start from understanding the nation's excellent traditional culture and then develop an interest in communist ideology, a process of loving the house and loving the dog.

　What about China's young people? They skipped the first stage and went straight to the second. I would call this a leap across the Caucasus Gorge in the realm of Red propaganda. I'm very happy to see this.

　Let's talk about the game "Cedar". It seems that the official was about to conduct the first closed beta test a while ago? It just so happens that the closed beta test has been going on for a few days now. How is it going?

　Chongqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Tsk... well, apart from the plot, there's a lot of room for improvement in other aspects. After all, it's a small workshop game.

　Not to mention the scenes and the low-tech giant-headed minions, the most terrible thing is the numerical value and balance. Some sniper characters' single-shot damage is higher than the machine guns on the vehicles.

　Luckily, this is just the first internal test. If the quality remains the same even after the second and third tests, or even the launch, then this game will be doomed no matter how sentimental it is..."

　After listening to this, Aurora felt that the developers really needed to keep working on it. "According to what you said, it does need major changes. It all depends on the official attitude and the technical development. At least I think this game still has a promising future."

　"Yes, I hope the upcoming second and third tests (if there are any) will impress us, right?"

　----------------

　When a British ship and a Soviet ship were speeding at Qingdao Airport at a speed of about 100km/h in a car - at the same time, on the other side of the world in France, the French ship girls were preparing to open champagne.

　Since they were popping champagne, there must be something worth celebrating; to put it simply, Sister Li came out.

　In the shipyard, when the special effect of the ship transforming into a living thing just ended, a worker watching beside the dock danced with joy.

　He patted his coworker beside him and said excitedly, "See! What did I say? It must be Cavalry Sister Li! All right, give me fifty euros, and I'll admit defeat!"

　The worker next to him tutted his words, then reluctantly dug his pocket and pulled out a khaki bill. "Oh, why can't it be Bishop Li? Bishop Li obviously has a better figure."

　As these two workers talked about

　Sister Li appeared in the dock, wearing a red, white and blue cuirassier uniform. Her tall figure and double thunders that were just the right size and not obtrusive were pleasing to the eye, and her whole body showed heroic spirit from head to toe.

　The appearance of Sister Li caused great emotional fluctuations for not only some people in France who care about Kancolle, but also a netizen far away in China.

　Although this netizen is a man, everyone in the group calls him Shushan Loli. Shushan himself feels that he did the right thing in writing Li Jie's novel, but there is always a sense of regret.

　The reason for this is that this is exactly the most contradictory situation for players who only play ship games - the ship they like is the same, but the girl who appears is not the same (caused by the inherent "dualism of ship and person" of ship girls)...

　Now, Shushan is still conceiving her own novel, but because of the appearance of Sister Li in reality, she can't help but think of the cavalry Sister Li.

　"If it's Sister Li from KanR, there will be no problem in assembling troops and leadership, but I don't know if she can pass Charles de Gaulle's test. Charles de Gaulle is a very difficult person to communicate with..." Shushan sighed, covering his forehead.

　But compared to these, he hoped that Sister Li could study the history of Free France with him, help him translate the French materials in the network disk (if Sister Li speaks Chinese), or play a game of WoW, or ask Sister Li if he can transform into a Kanb to show him.

　[No, buddy, is this your reaction to Sister Li appearing in the real world?] — The grumbling voice of the cosmic consciousness.

　Ahem, I am getting off topic...

　If we were to say who among humans is the happiest about the appearance of Richelieu, it would be none other than Macron. Richelieu is one of the main dishes in Macron’s series of major construction plans. How can he not be excited when the main dish comes out?

　More importantly, this Li Jie is the Cavalry Li Jie from Kanryu, not the Bishop Li Jie next door, which is exactly what Macron wants (not in terms of XP). Otherwise, the Catholic Church would be secretly happy to have a Bishop Li Jie (religious ideology support rate +0.5).

　Another point is that the hull of the Richelieu after refinement is the later model, that is, the model after the modification in the United States. This is also what Macron was worried about before, because he was afraid that if it was the model before the modification, he would lose a lot of money.

　The French shipgirls were even more excited about Richelieu's appearance. That evening, they invited him to a welcoming banquet arranged by the French Navy, where they drank and sang songs, expressing their deepest emotion at how much he had changed.

　From their reactions upon meeting Richelieu, it's clear that he was the backbone of the French fleet. Jeanne, in particular, immediately submitted to him, becoming his sword and shield forever.

　Richelieu has just come out, and she still needs some time to adapt to the human body and integrate into modern society.

　So, during this period of great learning, Richelieu's life experience + personality, as well as all her subsequent learning content and social experience, will affect the value orientation of her final choice.

　……

　At this time, in the secret laboratory of GKIOP Company in the Far East, Eve was changing into the specially customized and high-quality Ship B Sister Li cosplay costume after finishing the experiment.
