It is Kokang and Changchun

　Chapter 496: The Great Conquest: The Siege of Shanghai (2)

　After the guard left the meeting room with the letter, the Red Dragon Rider calmed himself down and continued to make arrangements.

　At this time, ZLJ offered a plan, "Comrade 586, I have a plan. We can use negotiations to expose the hypocritical veil of the deep sea, just like we did in the Chongqing negotiations.

　We could say to Shen Hai, since everyone is on the left, why not sit down and talk about managing our differences? We were able to sit down and talk with the Kuomintang reactionaries back then, so what can't we sit down and talk about? Right?

　If Shen Hai refuses to negotiate, that's best, because that would make it easier to find reasons to criticize them. I'd rather face a true villain than a hypocrite.

　If they are willing to negotiate, they are simply asking us to return to the planned economy era. If we say we can change, then what about the deep sea?

　Didn't Shen Hai criticize us for being "revisionists," "capitalist roaders," and "bureaucratic capitalists"? So he wanted to launch a "Second Revolution" against us?

　If we agree to switch to a planned economy, wouldn't that prove that we are not "capitalist roaders" or "bureaucratic bourgeoisie"? Because according to the Marxist viewpoint, there is no class that betrays its class, and the class bourgeoisie will never engage in socialism.

　If we can agree to such a request, wouldn't that prove we are not the "bureaucratic bourgeoisie" or "capitalist roaders"? Besides, we are not these things to begin with.

　Comrade Chairman, didn't you say that the Party must have the spirit of self-revolution? But which bourgeois party is capable of self-revolution? If bourgeois parties were capable of self-revolution, what would be the point of Marxism?

　In this way, the "legitimacy" of the deep-sea invasion of our country can be directly removed. I just want to ask you, do you dare not withdraw your troops from the deep sea?

　If they don't withdraw their troops, their true intentions will be clear to everyone - their real purpose is to invade China and destroy it. Their so-called great and glorious propaganda is nothing but a clumsy cover-up!"

　"Yes, this may be a good idea. These guys are unlikely to withdraw on their own initiative anyway. After all, we've never seen them voluntarily give up the occupied territory unless they are at an absolute disadvantage." The Red Dragon Rider thought as he listened and thought this was a possibility.

　After another brief discussion, the political response plan was determined.

　In order to save time, in addition to the members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, four generals of the Central Military Commission also attended the meeting.

　When the Red Dragon Rider finished his deployment to the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee, he turned to the Central Military Commission.

　The four comrades from the Military Affairs Committee began to make military deployments.

　The most important one is to ensure the ideological and political loyalty of the People's Liberation Army in the face of the current external threat from the deep sea under the guise of the red skin.

　Since I had just explained the general principles to the Politburo Standing Committee members, there was no need to repeat them in front of the Central Military Commission. I just added some additional key points for the military to pay attention to.

　This point may seem extra, but it is very important - the Central Military Commission decided to invite the five major war zone commands to a meeting to focus on discussing how the military can deal with the deep-sea public opinion offensive.

　The Red Dragon Rider dislikes excessive paperwork and meetings; otherwise, he wouldn't have focused on combating formalism and bureaucracy over the past year. Therefore, the meetings were short, focused on key points, and free of clichés.

　As for more detailed matters, the Central Military Commission has stepped up the issuance of theoretical and historical learning documents on how to deal with the "leftist" public opinion offensive, so that units at all levels can take time to study them.

　Since then, some bloggers and influential figures who support the establishment and the current path have joined this fifth major ideological debate, either with official endorsement or with their own support.

　These include but are not limited to B station bloggers such as "Tuanzuo", "Semi-mechanical Epidemic Doctor", "Fu Zheng", as well as senior intellectuals such as Jin Canrong, Chen Ping, and Zhang Weiwei.

　Gonglu Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai

　In the fourth phase of the Yulanxiangyuan residential area, a PLA infantry squad was inside a high-rise residential building, looking eastward at the wilderness surrounding the Outer Ring Expressway.

　The once beautiful community is now filled with smoke, some buildings are incomplete, and there are several craters on the ground that have been melted by high temperatures. These are obvious signs of deep-sea bombardment.

　On the floor where the team was located, all the glass windows had already been shattered, and the interiors of the living room and other rooms had become a mess due to the fighting, with all kinds of things scattered on the tiles.

　The original head of this family was lucky. When the deep-sea invasion happened, the whole family was at home. They drove west to take refuge as soon as possible, leaving this house alone to protect the People's Liberation Army fighting against the deep-sea invasion.

　The people who owned the house are gone, but it still protects the army that protects the people, and provides a fortress-like function for the people's army.

　It's just that... the owner's child seems to be a very high-concentration anime fan. When the PLA soldiers just entered the house to search and prepare to deploy defenses, the KanR Yingtan R18 EX version pillow on the bed made the soldiers somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.

　When setting up the defense, some things had to be moved and cleared to make room for activities, including this Yingtan pillow.

　When moving the pillow, the soldier, out of male instinct, couldn't help but secretly glance at certain parts of the ship in the painting, especially the three points...

　It's human instinct, which is understandable. It's not a real person anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal... probably.

　When placing it, the soldier specially found some things and covered the Yingtan pillow tightly, as if he was deliberately protecting it out of some kind of aesthetic purpose.

　Fortunately, Comrade Yingtan was pulled off to fight in the naval battle, otherwise, I really don’t know what she would have felt if she were there at that moment…

　"Speaking of which, this extremely embarrassing character illustration... Which manufacturer is so bold? Comrade Yingtan is a soldier and is employed by the government just like us. Isn't this an insult to soldiers?" Another conservative soldier couldn't help but complain.

　The soldier carrying the pillow shrugged, "You're surprised by the rarest of things. These are definitely custom-made, commissioned pieces. If anyone dares to draw something like this publicly, the nation will strike back faster than a Hong Kong reporter. Do you believe it?"

　……

　In short, the high-rise residential complex in this area is very important because they are like high-end watchtowers, both commanding heights and fortresses. As long as a few people are stationed in the high-rise units, they can monitor the area within a radius of 300 to 400 meters to the east.

　"These deep sea guys are really fucked up... I finally understand what the US is fighting against..." A soldier with his arm wrapped in a blast scarf couldn't help but complain while sitting on the ground.

　The soldier who was launching the drone said, "At least it's much better than the US military. They've practiced in advance so they won't be caught off guard. Look at how the US military was chased by the deep sea in the early stages. They were like stray dogs."

　During the first encounter, the places where the PLA and the Shenhai encountered were mostly urban villages or wilderness, as well as low-rise residential areas.

　Urban villages are densely packed with buildings and narrow streets. Although the PLA and armed police have conducted street-fighting training using deep-sea scenarios as a hypothetical enemy, the deep-sea characteristics still leave them stretched thin.

　Of course, our army has things like robot dogs and exoskeletons, but when these things encounter something like the level of the deep sea, they are still not able to withstand it.

　In a certain urban village, when the People's Liberation Army's integrated reconnaissance and strike robot dog was moving nimbly into the alleys of the village, a graceful silver-haired girl suddenly flew out from the darkness, kicked the robot dog away, and slammed it heavily into the outer wall of a residential house.

　Before the robot dog could get up, the deep-sea scout rushed forward, smashed its head with a punch, and then violently removed the 95-1 rifle fixed on the weapon rack.

　"You just made some children's toys, and you dare to claim to have developed a new type of combat capability? This is hilarious, weakling human, just go home and drink milk!"

　The Deep Sea Soldier was talking nonsense when he elbowed the robot dog hard against the wall.

　Afterwards, the robot dog fell to the ground and lay motionless.

　She picked up the captured 95-1 and examined it in her hands. She saw the words "Chinese Army" printed in white on the back of the handle, the side facing the shooter.

　Next is the red dot sight, and on the side facing the shooter are printed four small dark red words: "National Property".

　……

　In modern residential areas, the distances between buildings are relatively large, so fighting in such places and in the deep sea is not particularly uncomfortable.

　Especially for residential areas like Phase 4 of Magnolia Garden, which are adjacent to large areas of wilderness, they are highly sought after buildings.

　However, under the current circumstances, the benefits of residential buildings like this are based on the safety of the first floor and its surroundings. Once the deep sea breaks into the building, the advantages of this building will instantly turn into disadvantages.

　Not long ago, the class had a brief discussion about Shen Hai’s political propaganda. Everyone felt that if Shen Hai was really like this, then we had to fight.

　The squad leader said to the other soldiers, "Before I joined the army, I was disgusted many times by those Zuo Ren. If my grandfather hadn't witnessed it firsthand, I would have almost believed their lies!

　Back then, my grandfather was a well-known "Three Good Students" student in the surrounding area. But during the Cultural Revolution, the college entrance examination was interrupted, which directly ruined his dream of going to university! Ten years later, my grandfather had already started a family, and my mother had been born for several years. How could he still pass the exam?

　The soldiers all agreed that there have been enough examples of "left-wing" rebellion in recent years, which always gives people the feeling that they cannot bear to see the country or society doing well.

　Now, when Sima Shenhai raises his voice, each of them, like a mother feeding her, speaks out in his defense. The establishment is doing well, and society is developing well, but these "leftists" feel worse than if their own mothers had been murdered.

　"Report! There seems to be something about 200 meters away at 10 o'clock... Damn it!" In an instant, before the soldier at the observation post could finish his words, a naked ball flew straight towards the window of his room.

　As soon as he lay down, he heard a loud "boom" and his vision suddenly shook. Apart from the ringing caused by the explosion, he could not hear any other sound.

　"Enemy infantry units have been spotted moving rapidly!" In the bay window of another room, the machine gunner observed something unusual and removed the cover from the Type 89 heavy machine gun.

　"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..." The shooter who had just set up the gun put the crosshairs on the center of the sight and fired. A long burst of shots came out in response, preventing the deep sea from approaching quickly.

　Chapter 497 Explosion of the Headquarters (2)

　While the People's Liberation Army and the armed police were fighting fiercely around the outer ring expressway, most people in some areas of Shanghai far away from the front line did not leave their areas but were evacuated to shelters.

　Linglan was working at the company at the time. After the air raid alarm sounded, she and a group of colleagues ran into the shelter under the arrangement of the local police.

　At this moment, Linglan, who had already settled down, said, "My life is saved, and my family is fine... But the company is completely unprepared for relocation. What will happen if the war situation worsens..."

　"It's okay... As long as there's green mountains, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood. What matters most is that we're alive!" Ella consoled him. "Besides, even if the KanColle game is physically gone, the real-life KanColles have already immortalized KanColle spiritually."

　Linglan understood what Ella meant, but he was unhappy, "That's what you said, but spiritual immortality must have a material carrier.

　Just like if the game is gone, there are still real-life KanColles. If all the real-life KanColles are gone, then KanColle will truly become the tears of the times..."

　Ella pulled out a portable hard drive from her pocket and said, "It's okay. I brought the hard drive from the safe haven. Look at you."

　(PS: The so-called safe haven actually refers to the hard drive containing the source files for Huanmeng's recently completed new game, "Warship Girls: Haven." Just by looking at the name, you can guess that it's a sequel based on the KanColle worldview.

　It is said that this new game originated from a game produced by another manufacturer a few years ago, called "My Naval Base".

　Unlike traditional KanColle games, this game has a very special perspective. The commander plays a role similar to that of a port commander, rather than a fleet commander who leads warships to charge; that is, he manages the port's internal affairs and logistics, and welcomes the returning KanColle.

　Unfortunately, the game was suddenly shut down during the beta phase.

　Later, according to the developer, Huanmeng helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and it seemed that a deal was reached and "My Naval Base" was directly given to Huanmeng, so "Warship Girls: Haven" was created.

　Chongqing is even the poster girl of the safe haven, and it can be seen that Suzuran has given her enough face. Chongqing is worthy of being the military chief of the real-life shipgirl fleet.

　Can you guess who the political chief is?)

　Linglan's eyes lit up when she saw this. She grabbed Ella's hand and burst into tears of gratitude. "Wow... Thank you so much. It's okay if we didn't bring out the other source data, we can still get it from the client, but if the source data for Safe Haven is gone, then our two years of hard work will be in vain."

　"It's okay. I believe Shen Hai will be driven out of the motherland! China is not like the United States, which is currently destroying its own industry. The aftereffects of a full-scale war are very strong!

　"When the time comes, we'll definitely be able to return to the company headquarters and create new glories. If that doesn't work out, we can move to Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, or even Xi'an and start over. As long as we're here, Huanmeng is here!" Ella patted her chest confidently.

　After the lily of the valley was silent for a while, Ella suddenly

　"Tell me, what's the purpose of these deep-sea attacks on Shanghai? Putting aside those big political and economic goals, they don't want to kill us offline, do they?"

　This question stumped Ella.

　Almost at the same time, an uninvited guest quietly came to the deserted Huanmeng Company.

　The company's tempered glass door was smashed by a pink fist, and then two white-haired girls rushed in.

　The first thing that caught their eyes was the cute reception desk, which looked a bit messy, with wall dust and interior decoration fragments on the table and floor.

　It looked like they were evacuated in a hurry, or perhaps they were shaken off by the shock waves generated by the missiles and rockets exploding nearby during the first wave of deep-sea airstrikes.

　"Tsk... they've all withdrawn. I was thinking of getting intelligence behind enemy lines and bringing that girl named Lily back with me." One of the Deep Sea gushed.

　The other Deep Sea, without saying a word, drew out his bayonet and stabbed the Lexington (CV-2) wedding dress illustration board next to the counter into pieces.

　Deep Sea B looked at the punctured signboard, still feeling unsatisfied, and kicked it straight up, breaking it in half. He then took the remaining pieces and ground them one by one, until the wood was reduced to sawdust.

　At the same time, Lexington (CV-2), who was repairing in the rear dock, suddenly felt a chill all over her body and subconsciously pulled the quilt on the bed tighter.

　"Although these ship spirits are our enemies, it shouldn't be to this extent..." Deep Sea A felt that there might be some story behind his colleague.

　"mlgbd! On the American battlefield, it was this ship spirit called Lexington that killed my best sister! Our Marines can't defeat the ship spirit, and are we not allowed to stab people to vent our anger?!

　Come to think of it, there's also Lily of the Valley, who plays this kind of high-intensity, deep-sea killing game every day. Even some players on the Internet are speaking up for us, saying that this is a 'female pirate bullying innocent people'!

　In my opinion, leaving Linglan's body intact is already a bargain for him!"

　Deep Sea B expressed her understanding. She said, "Indeed...but more importantly, capturing Suzuran alive is Admiralty Code's order."

　"I know, I was just saying that in anger." As the two Deep Sea guys spoke, they began to walk into the office area, observing the office environment as they walked.

　At this moment, another voice from the deep sea came through their mental network: "Report, we have arrived at the headquarters of Manju Company. We haven't found the target. They should have entered the shelter."

　Deep Sea B complained: "I didn't expect Group B to come up empty-handed."

　"What should I do? How am I going to report this?" Deep Sea B spread his hands.

　"This is just an unnecessary side mission, no need to rush. We still have to get on with our business, let's wait for the next chance to catch someone." Deep Sea A shook his head.

　Deep Sea B always felt a little uncomfortable. "I've come all this way, but now I'm going back empty-handed. It doesn't feel right..."

　As he spoke, Deepsea B's eyes fell on the surrounding decorations in the office. Among these decorations, there were both KanColle and Deepsea, but KanColle was the main one.

　"How about this, take away all the action figures and standees here, except for those related to the deep sea, and destroy the rest!" Deep Sea B felt that the quality of these peripherals was still good, but the fact that the peripheral characters were ship girls only made them feel nauseous.

　Deep Sea A couldn't help but praise him, "That's a good idea! At least we've gained something from this trip today. Plus, we can use these Deep Sea items as a gift to Lord Admiralty Code!"

　So, the two of them packed up all the deep-sea related peripherals and took them away, and as for the remaining ship girl peripherals, they were all destroyed; the scene was even more horrific than a naughty child entering a otaku's room.

　The two deep-sea creatures looked at the pile of things on the ground that they had destroyed, as if they were admiring a great masterpiece, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

　Shenhai A suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I remember Huanmeng is working on a sequel to KanR recently, called Warship Girls: Haven. They evacuated in a hurry, so the data should still be there. Why not..."

　Deep Sea A spoke with a villainous grin. Deep Sea B, observing this, instantly understood. Destroying the original game data would undoubtedly be a huge relief.

　Or there is another option, which is to export the original game data and modify it to turn it into a deep-sea perspective, play the role of the "great, glorious, and correct" AC, and "busy yourself with all kinds of work" and "welcome" the sisters who have returned from the construction and combat in the deep sea. That can also be considered "good".

　Evil and falling are what the deep sea is best at.

　The office building was out of service due to the attack on the infrastructure by Deep Sea, but Huan Meng Company had a backup power supply to make up for it. The Deep Seas pressed their fingers on the server interface, searching for any useful information in Huan Meng's office LAN in the ocean of data.

　"No results... but the data shows that the hard drive that was supposed to store the game data was ejected. The time the hard drive was ejected coincided with the evacuation of this area."

　As soon as she finished speaking, Deep Sea A slowly stood up and gently moved her slender fingertips away from the data interface of the server.

　Deep Sea B rubbed his chin and deduced, "So the company's people took the hard drive with them when they fled? And where's the nearest shelter?"
