It is Kokang and Changchun

　Sheffield, hoping to recruit Sheffield into his own department.

　After several disputes, MI5 and MI6 lost the battle. After all, compared with the Royal Navy, MI5 and MI6's claims about Sheffield were objectively insufficient.

　MI5 and MI6 argued: "Miss Sheffield possesses excellent secret service skills. If she could join us, the national security of the United Kingdom would be better protected. Therefore, for the sake of national justice, Sheffield should join MI5 and MI6."

　The Royal Navy argued, "That's enough. Without Miss Sheffield, are you unable to protect the United Kingdom's national security? Besides, Miss Sheffield is a warship first and a secret agent second. Since it's a warship, it's naturally under the control of the Navy. Whether based on her past experience or from a logical point of view, it's only natural that she should be under the control of the Navy."

　In the end, the Royal Navy had the good sense to keep Sheffield.

　Now, she is concentrating on cleaning at the Plymouth Naval Base.

　At this moment, a man suddenly appeared from behind Sheffield, hugged Sheffield, looked very happy, and said in a hentai tone:

　"Ah, is this the Sheffield of the Type 42 destroyer? Petite body, delicate face, comfortable maid outfit, just like a doll hehehe..."

　As he spoke, he squeezed Sheffield's breasts.

　"Royal... No, large non-combustible garbage." Sheffield put down the mop in his hand, his face as cold as ice, and cursed in the calmest tone without using any swear words.

　"It seems like I can't stop staying in solitary confinement..." Sheffield suddenly threw his head back, hitting Royal Ark's nose with the back of his head. Then, while Ark was distracted by the pain, he broke free from the bear hug.

　Then a blue light ball emerged from Sheffield's hands. The light ball quickly turned into the outline of a gun and dissipated. Two close-in weapon pistols appeared in Sheffield's hands.

　When the Royal Ark reacted, it found six gun barrels appearing in front of it and rotating around the same center point.

　"Sheffield...can't we just talk it over nicely...?"

　Then, somewhere in the harbor, the sound of cloth-ripping from the Phalanx close-in weapon system and the screams of the Ark Royal were heard.

　The next day, in the vampire's dormitory, Belfast came to tell the vampire the good news.

　"Ms. Scarlett, our destroyers and light cruisers won't have to go hungry in the short term."

　"Wow, that's great!" The vampire jumped for joy and asked happily, "Has the fuel crisis been alleviated?"

　"No." Belfast denied the vampire's guess.

　The vampire asked curiously, "Oh? What's going on then?"

　Belfast said, "Yesterday, the Ark Royal did something indecent to Sheffield. As punishment, in addition to confinement, the logistics department also decided to drain all the fuel from the Ark Royal and divide it equally among all the destroyers and light cruisers."

　"Good! He deserves it! This guy should starve for a few days!" As a vampire who had been a victim of the Royal Ark, he clapped his hands and cheered.

　Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA

　It was another day off, and Captain Crownpeace Green was sleeping in the captain's room of the Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.

　The morning sunlight streamed through the window onto the floor of the captain's room, waking her up.

　She stood up, yawned, sat on the bed, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.

　After tidying up and washing up, she took off her American flag-style nightgown and leggings, and took off the clown-shaped nightcap on her head.

　Put on the US Navy women's white service uniform and corresponding peaked hat.

　After getting everything in order, she walked out of the captain's room and came to Enterprise's room. She knocked on the door and asked, "Enterprise, would you like to go to the cafeteria for breakfast together?"

　A few seconds later, the door opened and Enterprise nodded, "Well, let's go together."

　Captain Crownpeace's inner thoughts: [Strange, why has Enterprise been so eager to eat in the cafeteria since that day?]

　"Enterprise, let me ask you something," Crownpeace asked as they walked. "You've been eating in the cafeteria more often lately. Is your taste changing?"

　"No, it's just because all my military rations were confiscated by Belfast that day. Then I asked the logistics department, and they said that they were out of stock at the moment. So I could only eat in the cafeteria." Enterprise did not evade the question and answered directly.

　"What happened during the visit that day? How come I didn't know about it?"

　"The commander was looking for you, so you went to the fleet commander's office. It was during this time that Belfast came to me."

　Crownpeace jokingly said, "Ah, this... It seems that Belfa is serious. I suggest you obey and stop eating military rations."

　The company said nothing and just smiled.

　Enterprise looked at Crown Piss, who was only as tall as her chin, and said, "Piss, I'm curious, how did you get into the army with your height?"

　"I'm exactly 160cm tall, just barely. How tall are you?" (The minimum height standard for female soldiers in the United States is 160cm) asked.

　Enterprise shook his head and said, "As for me...I haven't measured it specifically."

　Crownpeace gestured with her hands and estimated, saying, "For the enterprise, it should be around 180cm."

　"By the way, Enterprise, there is something I don't want to tell you, but

　I have to tell you." Crownpeace suddenly put on a serious expression and spoke to the company.

　"It's okay. Since it's a serious matter, just say it directly."

　Crownpeace spoke slowly, "This month's... military pay... may not be distributed. As for the future, it's even harder to say."

　Businesses weren't surprised. They sighed and said, "The federal government's $28 trillion debt is as expected. It far exceeds the entire GDP. And Biden, that bastard, is spouting nonsense like 'We can borrow because we can always pay it back' and 'We never owe debt,' and that the United States is a trustworthy and reliable country. It's all bullshit."

　"A Ponzi scheme, a state-led Ponzi scheme." Crownpeace commented on Biden's statement very briefly.

　"Very insightful." The company expressed its full agreement.

　Chapter 82: The Eve of the Storm (8)

　After the "Fukushima Incident," some members of the Japanese Communist Party who had previously advocated for not abandoning violent revolution seemed to see hope and began to become more active. This was seen in organizations from the top to the grassroots.

　Not only that, due to the "Fukushima Incident", the number of people joining the Japanese Communist Party across Japan has increased compared with the same period last year. Influenced by the "Fukushima Incident", most of these new bloods are relatively in favor of violent revolution.

　As a result, a new round of major discussions broke out within the Japanese Communist Party, and the party was roughly divided into the violent revolution faction and the parliamentary struggle faction.

　The violent revolutionary faction is mainly composed of young and middle-aged party members, while the parliamentary struggle faction is mainly composed of middle-aged and elderly party members.

　The former criticized the latter for being timid and missing out on a great historical opportunity, while the latter accused the former of being too fearless and overly radical.

　And Takuma Ozawa in Fukushima belongs to the faction that supports violent revolution.

　During the party members' study session this morning, he had a big argument with a comrade from the parliamentary struggle faction.

　"xxxx (the name of the parliamentary struggler who quarreled with Ozawa), I hope I can still call you comrade instead of sir in the future!" This was the message Ozawa left for the comrade with whom he had quarreled before leaving after the study activity ended.

　After the Fukushima incident, Takuma Ozawa, who had always been critical of simple parliamentary struggles, became completely determined to take the path of violent revolution.

　During a speech at a parade and a confrontation with the governor of Fukushima Prefecture (equivalent to a provincial governor), he was shot and lost his left arm. This incident had a significant impact on his ideological change.

　After returning home, Ozawa, who was full of anger, threw his shoulder bag in a corner, then sat at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and wanted to play some games to relax and mind.

　In the past, Ozawa loved playing FPS games, but after losing his left arm, he stopped playing those kinds of games. Now he can only play games that can be controlled with one hand, such as Kantai Collection and Azur Lane.

　In the admiral's room on the screen, the secretary ship on the right has been replaced by Mr. Xiang since the Fukushima incident.

　After completing the expedition and other daily tasks, Ozawa windowed the KanC interface and set it aside. Then he double-clicked the simulator and opened Azur Lane.

　Just like in KanC, the secretary ship on his homepage of "Azur Lane" was also changed to Hibiki after that.

　Some time ago, when the Japanese server celebrated its fourth anniversary, Ozawa was still considering whether to buy a Ring of Promise for Xiang in the game.

　Now Xiaoze was looking at the two Hibiki on the screen and sighed, "If you were present at this argument, what would you think?"

　At this point, Ozawa took out his mobile phone, opened QQ, and tried to contact Xiang in Kanto.

　As for why she used QQ instead of the local LINE, this was the contact information Xiang left for Ozawa before leaving Fukushima. She also left a note below stating the reason, saying that she did so for safety reasons.

　Since Changchun and the others went to Shanxi to fight the flood, Xiang has been studying and reflecting on himself during this period of time. At the same time, he has also taught other ship girls according to their aptitude and won them over.

　When Ozawa Takuma sent a message to Xiang, Xiang was teaching her comrades.

　“Surplus value is that part of the value created by wage workers in production that exceeds what is required for the reproduction of their own labor power and is appropriated by the capitalist without compensation…”

　Xiang spoke to all the ship girls who were listening to the class while tapping the words on the whiteboard.

　Ayanami still had her usual expression, but her eyes were full of seriousness. She listened attentively to Hibiki's lecture and took notes.

　On the other hand, Yudachi, who was scratching his head and eyes, had already left the classroom and was thinking about the meat dishes in the cafeteria.

　Some of the other ship girls were serious, while others were absent.

　It was not until the end of get out of class that Xiang discovered the QQ message that Takuma Ozawa sent her, and then Xiang sent a reply to Ozawa.

　【舞鶴の仙鳥】: "Ozawa-san, you called me?"

　【おたく】: "Um, Hibiki-san, I just ran into some trouble. I wonder what you think about it?"

　【舞鶴の仙鳥】: "Just say it, it's okay~ I've lived for over 90 years, what kind of storms haven't I seen?"

　Then Takuma Ozawa told Xiang about his experience in the study activities that morning, and also shared with her the changes within the Japanese Communist Party.

　[舞鶴の仙鳥]: "This is really interesting~ It's understandable that violent revolutionary ideas within the Japanese Communist Party have been reawakened. What kind of person is your comrade usually?"

　【おたく】: "There are some minor shortcomings, but the overall reputation is good. Go to other

　Gay relationships are all okay.”

　【舞鶴の仙鳥】: "Has he ever betrayed his comrades, violated discipline, or done anything else?"

　【おたく】: "We've never had a serious argument since I met him, but today was the only day we had a serious argument."

　【舞鶴の仙鳥】: "Ah~ I see. Actually, this is just a microcosm of my old problem."

　【おたく】: "What? What old problem?" Ozawa Takuma didn't understand what Hibiki meant and was confused.

　[舞鶴の仙鳥]: "Mr. Ozawa, do you know why the communist movement in Japan was so difficult?" Hibiki did not say it directly, but asked Ozawa Takuma instead.

　[おたく]: "Our strength is too small and the enemy is too strong?" Takuma Ozawa thought for a moment and answered simply.

　【舞鶴の仙鳥】: "Generally speaking, that's true. But to be more specific, one of the main reasons is the serious childishness and lack of unity."

　[Otaku]: "Uniting with a person who supports parliamentary struggle? What a joke? I really want to nominate him to be expelled from the party!" Takuma Ozawa said it was unreasonable.

　[舞鶴の仙鳥]: "Ozawa-san, please listen to me first before you express your opinion. You said before that he didn't do anything that violated the Party Constitution or discipline, and his behavior was acceptable. This means he didn't betray you and isn't a counter-revolutionary. At most, he's just ideologically reactionary.

　Against such people, we should both unite and struggle. Unity is necessitated by the objective situation. When our forces are weak, we should unite with others as much as possible. The revolutionary tide has not yet arrived, so we must not abandon parliamentary struggle. Engels also said that both peaceful and violent struggles must be pursued. If you abandon peaceful struggle before the time for revolution is ripe, the enemy will immediately know what your next move will be.

　Struggle is driven by principle and the need to seek truth. After all, parliamentary struggle cannot fundamentally resolve the problem; it is only a smokescreen to confuse the bourgeoisie. Therefore, we must resolutely point out the errors in his thinking, but we should adopt an appropriate approach and avoid excessive drastic measures. Because he has not betrayed us, he is not yet an enemy.

　After reading Xiangfa's message, Takuma Ozawa did not reply immediately, but thought about it carefully.

　He thought about it and still had some doubts in his mind, so he clicked on the input box and prepared to type his question.

　At this time, Xiang sent another message.

　[Dancing Crane Immortal Bird]: "Looking at the history of the Japanese Communist movement, what is most lacking is the concept of the united front and the mass line. If we do not want the Japanese Communist movement to repeat the mistakes of the student movement of the 60s or follow in the footsteps of the Red Army, we must implement both. And we must clearly understand who our friends are and who our enemies are."

　Under Xiang's education, Ozawa gradually realized that his attitude was excessive, so he planned to apologize to the comrade the next day.

　As the chat was about to end, Xiang Xiang made a request to Ozawa, saying, "Due to the special circumstances of my existence, it's not very convenient for me to do social practice. I'll have to trouble you with the social investigation and research. Also, can I apply to join the Party from another place?"

　----------------

　The long conversation Hibiki had that evening had a profound impact on Haruzuki. Although she remained a Shintoist ontologically, her social and historical views shifted significantly to the left.

　After she came back, she stayed at the Maizuru Naval Base. Sometimes she would go out of the port for training, or the ship girl research team would come to her to do some experiments.

　From the Meiji Restoration to Japan's defeat in World War II, Shintoism was considered the state religion of Japan. As a result, every warship in the Japanese Navy had a "ship shrine" onboard to seek the protection of the gods.

　After Japan's defeat in the war, this cultural phenomenon was abolished as democratization and secularization reforms unfolded.

　But now with the emergence of ship girls, some sailors and officers who believe in Shintoism have begun to think about setting up "shrines on ships".

　For example, on the destroyer Haruzuki, some sailors at the Maizuru Naval Base, out of admiration for Haruzuki and their Shinto beliefs, also planned to build a shrine onboard. Furthermore, Haruzuki herself was a Shintoist, so the two ideas meshed perfectly, and the shrine was finally built.

　Therefore, the Harutsuki ship is now a shrine, with Harutsuki as the deity enshrined there and Harutsuki herself as the shrine maiden. Sailors would come to the shrine to pay their respects and offer money, and Harutsuki would provide assistance to the sailors from time to time.

　After becoming the "god" and shrine maiden of the shrine, Haruzuki began to pay attention to her own money box.

　"One yen means a cold treatment, ten yen means a smiling welcome, a hundred yen means serving tea, a thousand yen means treating you to a meal, ten thousand yen... and so on!" Chunyue thought about it, and suddenly slapped her face and shook her head violently, trying to sober herself up.

　"No, no, how could I be so greedy for money? It's a sin, a sin!" Chunyue clasped her hands together to comfort herself.

　"It's strange. I have no worries about food and drink, so why do I care so much about the donation money since the shrine was built..." Chunyue muttered to himself, puzzled.

　"Forget it, let's see how much we earned in the past two days." Chunyue walked to the cash box and opened the lid.

　"Where's the money?!" Chunyue was stunned. The cash box was empty.

　The money in the cash box disappeared, causing her, who was usually a little shy and optimistic, to change her temperament drastically.

　Chunyue's face was filled with anger. He slowly picked up the Kagura staff beside him, tightly grasped it, and said coldly: "Who did this?!

　Got it, the decision to expel the enemy is made!"
