It is Kokang and Changchun

　"Report, those idiots were not found, everything is normal, over!" 351 dived underwater in ship mode, her sonar capturing any suspicious sound waves.

　351 is a submarine ship that was built not long ago. Its model is 033G. It is China's first and last conventional submarine capable of launching anti-ship missiles.

　Jiujiang nodded, "Got it, you continue patrolling, I have to go back and forth again, over!"

　While patrolling back, Jiujiang looked west, gazing at the land and dim lights on the horizon. Over there was the direction of Haikou, and she suddenly thought of her boyfriend in Changchun.

　"Changchun must be very anxious about the incidents in the South China Sea and Guangdong. I hope she won't affect the combat status because of excessive worry about Lao Zhan..." Jiujiang said to himself.

　Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Changchun's slightly anxious voice echoed over Jiujiang's radio channel, "Hello? Jiujiang, I see you're in the Qiongzhou Strait, right? How's Haikou?"

　"Don't worry, the neon lights in Haikou are bright." Jiujiang smiled and said, "How do you have time to send me these idle messages?"

　Changchun explained, "We've run out of ammunition and are returning to the rear for resupply. We just learned from the theater command about the incidents in South China and the South China Sea, as well as your location."

　"How's it going in the East China Sea?"

　"We dealt a heavy blow to the Deep Sea, and the Navy also suffered some losses, including some of our shipgirls who were injured and are returning for repairs.

　There's good news, though. Chongqing's radar and sonar both indicate clear signs of a deep-sea retreat. Changchun reported the battlefield situation truthfully.

　Jiujiang pushed the bridge of his glasses. "It seems Comrade Zhenhai's initial inference was correct. Deep Sea's intention wasn't in Shanghai, Shanghai, or East China, but in South China. It's a pity that Deep Sea acted too quickly. Just as the Southern Theater Command was about to take action, something happened in Hong Kong and Macau."

　Changchun was puzzled. "The main attack direction is South China? And they're targeting the Pearl River Delta first. Is Shenhai planning to capture the Pearl River Delta before launching a northern expedition? Doesn't Shenhai understand the success rate of northern expeditions in Chinese history?"

　"Generally speaking, the success rate of the Northern Expedition is indeed very low, but if the opponent is an existence like the deep sea, it is a different story." Jiujiang complained.

　Then she continued, "This is both unexpected and reasonable. In the East China Sea, the Ryukyu Islands lie deep in the ocean. Surrounding Ryukyu are Taiwan Province to the southwest, Communist Japan to the northeast, and a unified Korea to the north. This strategic environment doesn't seem suitable for a base for a major offensive.

　Especially for Japan, if the People's Revolutionary Navy brings hundreds of ship girls and stabs the deep-sea fleet attacking East China from behind, it will be no joke for the deep-sea fleet.

　The situation is different in the south. The Deep Sea has already effectively controlled Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Whether from a geographical perspective or a fundamental base, they certainly have the strength to march north."

　Changchun suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. "Since they can swallow up the South China Sea and invade Guangdong, doesn't that mean that Southeast Asia is also a potential target of deep-sea invasion?! This..."

　Changchun is very clear about what the loss of Southeast Asia means to China.

　The deep-sea army, which can walk on flat ground, will launch a large-scale invasion of South China and Southwest China from the borders of Yunnan and Guangxi with Southeast Asian countries. The consequences will be unimaginable.

　"I think the central government can establish a wide-area military defense organization, upgrade the China-North Korea-Japan Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance to the East Asia Defense Initiative Agreement, and bring in those Southeast Asian countries..."

　"Uh... the inference is good, but will it really be called this name?" Jiujiang always felt weird. After all, she had not been out for very long and didn't know much about the name of a certain strategy game mod.

　"I'm just making a random guess. Anyway, things like providing large-scale military aid to Southeast Asian countries will definitely be done. Do you still expect the armies of Southeast Asian countries to be able to withstand the iron hoof of the deep sea?" Changchun asked back.

　Jiujiang nodded frequently. She felt that if Southeast Asian countries could block the deep sea, it would not only be the deep sea that would be panicked, but China would probably be more worried than the deep sea.

　"Speaking of which, if I don't consider objective factors, I really want to rush to Hainan and take care of him personally..." Changchun sat on a mat, slightly lowered his head in thought, and the figure of Comrade Lao Zhan kept appearing in his mind.

　Changchun pursed his lips and secretly made a decision in his heart, "Comrade, you wait for me. When I drive Shen Hai out of China, we will get married! Then I will make dairy products for you to eat to your heart's content!"

　Chapter 505 China’s Response (2)

　Changchun's thoughts quickly returned to the main business. She thought about the recent situation again and couldn't help but make a new discovery.

　"Jiujiang, I just thought about it. Fortunately, Japan had a revolution. If it hadn't, the Liberal Democratic Party government might have gone along with Shenhai.

　By then, Shenhai would certainly use Japan as a springboard to launch a massive attack on North Korea and Northeast China, and it is not impossible that he would even threaten to attack Shanhaiguan.

　All of this has undergone tremendous changes because of the Japanese Revolution; now, 'Comrade Ibaraki's kindness has not yet been repaid'. Without her, the Japanese Communist Party would definitely be history today, and Red Japan would be even more of a fantasy."

　"You're worrying too much, Comrade Changchun," Jiujiang said. "You said this is just a hypothetical scenario. We should be thankful that reality isn't that cruel."

　"I know, it's just an assumption..." Changchun explained, "The Northeast region is also a place I care about. After all, it's my name, you know."

　Anyway, I feel that if that were to happen, given Shen Hai and her friends' jumpy, mischievous minds, their cavalry might even cosplay as the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and march through the gates of Shanhaiguan."

　Jiujiang couldn't hold it in any longer. "Uh... Comrade Changchun, if that happens, the nationalist factions in the Party, government, and society will probably be completely overwhelmed. The work pressure on the political cadres will increase dramatically. They will want to kill these troublemakers even more than the frontline soldiers...

　As for Zhao He… He would be so furious that he would roar to the heavens. Even Chongqing Sister’s piercing kick wouldn’t be effective (referring to calming Zhao He down)…”

　Changchun sighed, "So, that's why I say the Japanese Revolution is so important, and why I jokingly call it 'Ibaraki Hanafu's gratitude is still unfinished'? Because for China, it's like having an extra security guard and buffer zone."

　----------------

　In the face of large-scale invasions from the deep sea, in addition to actively responding on the military front, the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the National People's Congress have also done a lot of other work.

　In other military aspects, first, military vehicles will be given priority road rights nationwide.

　Second, appropriately control traffic routes in cities and counties near the war zone and free up as much traffic space as possible for military commuting.

　Third, maximize the production efficiency limit of existing military factories, vigorously increase the equipment required for various types of war, especially the production of new-quality combat equipment, and prepare to build more military factories.

　Third, the Central Military Commission, together with the General Staff Intelligence Bureau and the National Security Bureau, should intensify intelligence work in enemy-occupied areas, with the former focusing on searching for military intelligence and the latter on searching for civil affairs intelligence.

　On the economic level, agriculture will always be the top priority. We must ensure food security, stable agricultural product supplies, and market prices, and resolutely crack down on all illegal speculators. We must further promote large-scale yield increases for crops to ensure stable and abundant grain production.

　Second, mobilize all forces to accelerate the relocation of coastal industries inland, and strictly control and ration some industrial raw materials and their derivatives (such as oil and fuel) that are more dependent on imports.

　Third, convert some civilian enterprises to military use and increase military orders to civilian enterprises to ensure the supply of materials to the front line.

　Fourth, the implementation of the new third-line construction plan should be accelerated as soon as possible. Before the deep sea is driven out of the country, all new important projects should implement the policy of staying away from war zones and should not be concentrated in coastal or offshore provinces and cities.

　Fifth, expand domestic mineral resource and energy production and diversify resource import trade. In particular, further increase resource imports from the Soviet Union and Arab countries, and accelerate the construction of Belt and Road-related infrastructure in the western border and northeastern regions.

　Fifth, we must accelerate the preparatory work for the reform of rural collective economic organizations. All township party and government organs and village committees must implement the relevant provisions of the "Law on Rural Collective Economic Organizations"; orderly promote the pilot program of extending the second round of land contracts for another 30 years after their expiration, and resolutely guard the bottom line of preventing large-scale poverty.

　At the technological level, until the end of the war, scientific research results will focus on serving military applications; vigorously promote the research and development of artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, robots, individual exoskeletons and drones.

　Development and application.

　At the social level, first, we must implement the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of workers in new employment forms as soon as possible, improve relevant social security, and supervise relevant platforms to implement the protection.

　Second, we must crack down on the pain points of the "overtime culture." Enterprises must not illegally extend workers' working hours, and we must strengthen the supervisory role of party committees and trade unions at all levels over enterprises.

　Third, provinces and cities closer to the war zone will implement a curfew system, public security organs and militia organizations will normalize patrols and stand guard, and all large-scale gatherings and entertainment activities will be suspended.

　Fourth, protect relevant historical and cultural sites. Before the deep sea attacked Shanghai and Hong Kong, some scenic spots in Shenzhen related to reform and opening up were damaged to varying degrees.

　For example, in Futian District, a huge portrait of 286 was painted with ink and damaged, and insulting words such as "traitor", "spy", "labor scab", "complete double-dealer", "Bernstein Xiaoping" were written on it.

　Even the 286 statue on Lotus Mountain was not spared, with several cuts carved into its feet. The flowers left by tourists at the base of the statue were trampled into a mess.

　After the incident, Shenzhen police immediately identified the suspect. When the police came to check the water meter, the suspect not only refused to admit his fault, but also cursed the police as "black gloves of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie."

　In addition, Shenzhen police found a large number of anti-establishment books and materials with serious political issues in his personal computer. These books and materials came from both domestic and foreign sources.

　On the political level, first, the Ministry of State Security and public security organs began to focus their counter-espionage efforts on deep-sea forces. The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision focused on corrupt officials who colluded with deep-sea forces, embezzled military supplies, and engaged in other activities that undermined the overall strategy of the War of Resistance.

　Second, preliminary consideration was given to the location of a wartime secondary capital, to be kept as a backup. As the saying goes, always prepare for the worst. Although the deep sea is a vast distance from Beijing, extreme scenarios must be considered. Therefore, the central government began dispatching personnel to major cities deep in the interior, such as Xi'an, Wuhan, and Chongqing, to conduct site surveys for a wartime secondary capital.

　Third, vigorously carry out anti-deep sea propaganda, war propaganda, and anti-"leftist" propaganda throughout society. Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, Guangming Daily, Liberation Army Daily, Qiushi Magazine, and other media have published anti-"leftist" editorials and solicited relevant contributions from the public.

　At the same time, a number of influential "left-leaning" self-media were banned; the B station UP host "Yang Heping Shuo Shier" was fortunate to become the first "left-leaning" target to be banned by the official network.

　After all, we have entered a state of war. Even if your parents are old revolutionaries, as long as you go against the central government, no matter who you are, you will be brought to justice!

　Some online "leftists" have also become a roadside after Yang Heping. The Cyberspace Administration of China's attitude is very clear: any speech, article, or video that supports Shen Hai or completely or basically denies the post-40-year period will be banned, along with the relevant bloggers.

　As soon as the regulation was announced, many users of "leftist" (or "leftist") platforms on apps like Bilibili, QQ, and online novel platforms were informed of their bans and cried out in anger. It's worth noting that many of these "leftist" users had avatars depicting girls from the anime world.

　"As expected! The teacher was absolutely right. The rise of revisionism is the rise of fascism! (Note: This statement has been proven to be artificially fabricated)

　"Wherever the black hands of the special social groups extend, bourgeois dictatorship and its shackles appear! Capitalism will run rampant wherever it goes!" — A diehard "leftist" whose social media account was banned online.

　Some "Zuo" Ren, with their more unconventional thinking, are not only not sad but excited. This is because they believe that "if Heaven wants someone to die, it will first make him mad"; they think the officials are so hysterical because they have been provoked in the spine.

　So they believed that this was the "darkness before dawn" and that they only needed to grit their teeth and wait for the "deep sea red army" to attack, and then they would be "liberated."

　Some liberals saw how uncomfortable the "left" were and thought that since the current focus was on criticizing the "left", they naively believed that the authorities would be more lenient towards this side, so they began to jump out, but they were hit by a heavy fist soon after.

　Do you understand the meaning of "guarding against both the left and the right"? I can only say that he deserved to be beaten.

　However, the "left" people are also divided into factions. Although some people criticize the reform and opening up and the socialist market economy, they also oppose the invasion of the deep sea, while some not only criticize the reform and opening up but also support the deep sea.

　The authorities have adopted different approaches to these two situations. The former generally involves an online ban and, at most, an offline interview. The latter is less civilized, with national security and police officers directly kicking down doors and arresting people.

　In Baidu Tieba, the [Marxist Philosophy Bar] has also been greatly affected by this environment.

　This forum has been dominated by "leftist" groups since 2016. Two or three years later, the first "leftist" group owner was taken away by national security for his offline activities and connections with foreign forces.

　Although the new moderator did not engage in these activities, he explicitly opposed the Reform and Opening-up Plan and the China Special Society in the bar rules. The entire bar as a whole still maintains an anti-establishment stance to this day.

　However, all of this will be completely changed by today's decision by the central government. The Cyberspace Administration of China ordered Baidu Tieba to dismantle the "leftist" forum management team and re-select several establishment members with higher theoretical knowledge to serve as the new forum management team.

　In short, the mess that the old Chinese didn’t care about in the past, was insignificant, or could be dealt with more slowly.

　Things have begun to be vigorously rectified since the breakdown of negotiations with the Deep Sea.

　----------------

　Baiyutan Road, Wuxing District, Huzhou, Zhejiang

　As the fighting in Shanghai intensified, Lao Luo, a community worker, had been incredibly busy these past few days. Huzhou, being close to the war zone, had its people's social activities restricted.

　As an auxiliary force for maintaining stability at the grassroots level, community workers can only hope for an easy life in such special circumstances.

　Lao Luo looked at Huzhou No. 4 Middle School (Baiyutan Campus) across the street. The teaching building, which should have been brightly lit at this time, was now pitch black.

　"The curfew makes the students feel relaxed. They don't have to attend evening classes... But it's okay. I'm going to get off work anyway." Lao Luo stood up with emotion.

　After he walked out of the Longquan Subdistrict Office, he checked the time and said, "It's already 9:30. This is the latest I've ever gotten off work since I started working as a social worker..."

　He originally wanted to complain, but when he thought about Lao Zhan in Hainan who had been running Meituan Express these days, often working until after 10 o'clock in the evening, and sometimes not getting home until 11:30 in the evening, he felt quite relaxed.

　"This Pinghai (Lao Zhan's nickname in the group)! He must be obsessed with delivering food recently! This guy shares his experience as a delivery driver in the group every now and then, and other than that, he rarely shows up.

　If Hainan hadn't implemented a curfew starting today, he would probably have been in this state for about a month!"

　Speaking of Lao Zhan, Lao Luo suddenly thought of the situation in Hainan. "Hainan is a neighboring province of the war zone. I guess Hainan is probably the same as Huzhou now. Grassroots work must be very busy."

　As Lao Luo rode, he felt his clothes were leaking air more than before. "My clothes are getting loose again. It seems the exercise over the past few months has paid off! Keep it up! I want to be as thin as a bolt of lightning! Ah!"

　What Lao Luo refers to as exercise is physical exercise, purely literal meaning.

　After Lao Luo confessed to Z23, Z23 chose to forgive Lao Luo. He was deeply moved and decided to change himself.

　The teacher said that the body is the capital of revolution, so Lao Luo decided to start changing himself by exercising. Anyway, his body shape... emmmm... also needs a little bit of control.

　People have a strong ability to associate, and Lao Luo quickly thought of Chihu from Lao Zhan. If Lao Zhan is one of Lao Luo's best online friends, then Chihu is definitely one of his most hated online acquaintances.

　You know, it was Luo Yonghao who kicked Chihu out of the group. Some time ago, I heard that he had been influenced by some European and American political correctness. I can only say that he was kicked out for no reason.

　Lao Luo sometimes often thinks that if he hadn't kicked Chihu too early and met Z23 too late, he would definitely have wholesaled Chihu's outrageous remarks to Z23, letting her criticize them and let Chihu experience Nimi-chan's theoretical level.

　It just so happens that Z23 is a character exclusive to Kanpei B in the game, which is equivalent to giving Red Fox a double dose of eye drops at the same time (this person is a hardcore Kanpei R solo player and doesn't like Kanpei B very much).

　Anyway, every time Lao Luo thinks about this Red Fox, he's speechless. "Hey, I don't know how he's doing lately. I heard he rented a house in a village in Pudong, saying he was investigating by getting close to the people. Could he be in the Deep Sea Occupied Zone now?"

　Lao Luo took out the map on his phone and found that the red fox's approximate location was indeed within the deep-sea occupied area.

　"Fuck, this guy..." Lao Luo said with a tut. "Just looking at that Deep Sea propaganda, if he doesn't rebel, I'll go to Baiyutan Park and jump into the river... No, I'll go to Taihu Lake and drown myself!"

　After returning home, Lao Luo took a shower and had dinner, then said a few words to his parents and went back to his room to rest.

　On the table in the room, there are several Mi character figures, including Ningguang from Genshin Impact, Jingliu from Honkai Impact 3rd (1:4), and Alysia from Honkai Impact 3rd.

　There are also some ship girls, such as KanR Lexington, Azure Z23, etc.

　Especially this Ningguang, Lao Luo once said that he didn't buy a figurine, he bought a "holy statue". So he had to look at it every day, whether he had free time or not, hoping to get some of Ningguang's fortune.
